Chapter 26

Chapter 26 – Bear House Installation Complete!

「Big sis Yuna, we’re here . 」

The Commerce Guild building was located slightly west from the center of the town .

Unlike at the Adventurer’s Guild, there were many different races going in and out of the building .

There weren’t any muscle heads or staff-carrying magic users .

There were also a lot of merchants, who seemed to have one or two peculiar habits .

There was a daunting atmosphere, unlike the Adventurer’s Guild .

Even so, did the bear suit still stand out? Even here, many curious glances were directed at me .

「Aren’t you going to enter, Big sis Yuna?」

Fina asked while I stood staring near the entrance .

I put aside my feelings of amazement and entered .

It was crowded inside .

Even here, the bear suit attracted a lot of attention .

I pulled the bear hood down further, cutting my line of vision .

Fina looked around restlessly and grabbed onto my bear clothes .

We walked towards the reception desk in that manner .

「Welcome!」

A woman in her mid-twenties greeted us .

Even after taking in my appearance, her expression didn’t change, and she greeted us with a smile .

As expected of a commerce guild staff member .

「Erm, I’d like to rent a small plot of land, but when I asked at the Adventurer’s Guild, I was sent over here . 」

「Yes, that’s correct . In addition to land, the Commerce Guild also acts as an intermediary for building transactions . So then, what kind of land are you looking for?」

「For starters, are there any vacant plots of land?」

「Yes, there are . 」

「Is it possible for me to rent any?」

「Yes, it’s fine . 」

「In that case, I would like to rent one for a month . Around how much would that cost?」

「That depends on the size and location of the plot, but do you have any requests in particular?」

「It’s fine if it’s a little far, but preferably somewhere near the Adventurer’s Guild; if possible, around the size of the Adventurer’s Guild’s large warehouse . 」

「A large plot of land around the size of the Adventurer’s Guild’s warehouse, is it? I’ll check to see what’s available, so please wait a moment . 」

I moved a short distance away from the reception desk . After about five minutes had passed, she returned with several sheets of paper .

「Thank you for waiting, there are five places that fit your criteria . 」

「Which one is the least expensive?」

「That would be this one; among the five, it is the one that is furthest from the the Adventurer’s Guild . The monthly rent is thirty silver coins . 」

One silver a day, huh .

「Is that cheap?」

「Basically nothing has been built there . As for the rent, it is about the expected amount . Depending on how you use the land, there is a possibility that you will need to restore the land back to its original condition when returning it, so please take care . 」

「Can I ask for the rent of the other plots?」

「Yes, there are also plots with rents of 90, 75, 48, and 35 silver coins available . 」

「Can you tell me the locations of these five plots?」

I took out a map so she could show me each location .

「Un, the 90 and 75 silver plots are expensive, so I’ll pass . I’ll also pass on the 30 silver plot . 」

The 30 silver plot was not in a convenient location for moving around .

After that, the 35 silver and 48 silver plots were left .

The best one was the 48 silver plot . It was located close to the guild and Fina’s house, as well as the inn that I was staying at .

The 35 silver plot was close to the guild, but it was far from both Fina’s house and the inn .

「Which would you like?」

「If this one was just a little less expensive, it would be good . 」

I pointed at the 48 silver plot .

「By the way, how do you plan to use this land?」

「I’m thinking of building a house and a place for doing dismantling work . Ah, of course I’ll take down the house when I return the land, so don’t worry . 」

「Please wait a moment . 」

The woman left for a short while and came back quickly .

「Excuse me for my rudeness, but are you Bloody Bear-san?」

「…」

「Ahem, pardon me . Are you the adventurer Miss Yuna-san?」

「… that’s right . 」

「Thank you very much for the recent wolf, horned rabbit, and goblin king raw materials . 」

「…? Why is the Commerce Guild saying that to me?」

「Didn’t you know? The Adventurer’s guild and the Commerce Guild are connected . The materials that enter the Adventurer’s Guild’s possession are brought to the Commerce Guild to be sold . 」

「I didn’t know that . 」

「Yes, and since the number of wolves and horned rabbits have increased recently, all of the merchants are very happy . 」

「But, the amount of materials that I, a single individual, sold should be an insignificant amount for the Commerce Guild . 」

「No, the raw materials that Yuna-san brings are very beautiful and of high quality .

Normal adventurers will cut the monsters numerous times, so no matter what there will be a lot of damage . The materials that Yuna-san brings are not only beautiful, but popular as well . The rare Goblin King raw materials also became popular . 」

「Is that so?」

「Yes, which is why I spoke with my supervisor . How about we make the rent for the plot of land from before 35 silver coins?」

「Is that okay?」

「Yes, if Yuna-san dismantles and sells raw materials to the Adventurer’s Guild, it will also be beneficial for the Commerce Guild . 」

「In that case, please do so . 」

「Well then, please allow me to guide you from now on . 」

The receptionist lady stood up .

「You’re going to guide me?」

「Yes, is it an inconvenience?」

「That isn’t the case, but isn’t it bad for a receptionist like you to slip out just for my sake?」

「It’s fine, there is another receptionist . More importantly, I don’t want to break the connection between us . 」

「Connection?」

「Yes, Yuna-san is a promising new adventurer . I believe there are many people who want to create a connection with you . I am also one of those people . I apologize for the late introduction . I am Mylene of the Commerce Guild . Pleased to meet you . 」

I confirmed with the map that the place Mylene-san guided me to was correct .

It was near the inn .

This place was also located near the guild .

The size of the plot of land was also large enough .

The low amount of human traffic was also good .

「I’ve decided on this place . 」

「Thank you very much . Well then, please sign this contract and submit a copy of your guild card . 」

「A copy?」

「Yes, it’s fine if you just place the guild card here . It will create a copy that will be used as the renter’s ID . 」

I wrote my name, copied my guild card, and paid 35 silver coins for one month’s rent .

「Well then, since you want to build a house on this plot of land, the commerce guild can mediate with the carpenter’s workshop on your behalf . What would you like to do?」

「It’s fine, since I already have a house . 」

「…?」

Mylene tilted her head to the side .

It was too troublesome to explain the details about the Bear Box and the Bear House so I decided to keep quiet .

「Is that so? If you need anything, please come to the Commerce Guild . 」

Mylene-san bowed and returned to the the Commerce Guild .

I confirmed that Mylene-san was gone .

Glance to the right, clear .

Glance to the left, clear .

Check behind as well, clear .

Front too, clear .

I confirmed that there were no pedestrians at the moment .

Then I took out the Bear House from the Bear Box .

Yes, on the land with nothing on it, a house was built in an instant .

I took Fina along and headed towards the warehouse .

「Well then, Fina, please work on the Tiger Wolves today . 」

I left the Tiger Wolves to Fina and immediately returned to the inn to cancel my stay .

There aren’t any meals, but I will be living in the Bear House from now on .

===============================

It’s strange, when I first started writing, the story was supposed to go to the imperial capital quickly .

Well, since the Bear House can be moved at any time, it is possible to depart immediately .

In the first place, when I first started writing, the idea of a Bear House didn’t cross my mind at all .
