Chapter 304

304 Bear-san Gives the Letter

[Rasa, is father in the bedroom?] Karina

[He’s working in his office . ] Rasa

[！？] Karina

Karina looks surprised and asks Rasa-san .

[You didn’t stopped him!?] Karina

[I did try to stop him, but he told me that he’s alright . ] Rasa

Karina starts running when she heard Rasa-san’s words .

After seeing Rasa-san ran after Karina, I decided to chase Karina as well .

Karina ran up the stairs and proceeded steadily, then she forcefully opened the door of one of the rooms without knocking and entered inside .

[Father! What are you doing despite being injured?] Karina

[Karina, knock before you enter the room . ] Balima

Inside the room is a slender man sitting on a chair and looking at some documents .

Karina called him father, then this must be Balima-san right?

[I’m sorry, But I just heard that father is working . ] Karina

[Ah, I’m fine, I just can’t sleep in this situation . ] Balima

[But… . ] Karina

Karina anxiously approached Balima-san .

He doesn’t look like he’s hurt, but it might not be visible because it was hidden under his clothes .

[Well then, how about introducing me to the cute lady over there dressed as a Bear?] Balima

Balima-san looks at me while patting Karina’s head .

[This is Yuna-san, an adventurer . She came from the Kingdom of Elfanica to see father . ] Karina

[To see me?] Balima

Surprised at Karina’s words, he looked at me as if he’s seeing something strange .

[I’m Yuna, an adventurer . I came here as a messenger for His Majesty . You are the lord of Dezerto city, Balima-san, is it correct?] Yuna

I gave my greetings with unfamiliar language .

[Ah yes, I’m the city’s lord, Balima Ishrit . ] Balima

I walked towards him and gave the letter that I received from the King .

[This is, a letter from His Highness . ] Yuna

It is easier to show the letter than to have me explain it in words .

Moreover, he can’t believe that I have been asked by the King .

It has already been confirmed earlier by Karina though .

[This letter is from the Kingdom of Elfancia… is this real?] Balima

He’s looking alternately between me and the seal on the letter .

I get what you’re trying to say .

It’s hard to believe that a girl dressed in a Bear Costume is the messenger for Elfanica Kingdom .

[I believe the details were written in the letter . ] Yuna

It is written, right?

If he didn’t wrote it, I’ll scream here in the castle .

I don’t need such kind of prank .

Balima-san cut the seal of the envelope and took out the letter .

Then once again, he looked between the letter and me alternately .

You can clearly see the surprised expression of his face .

It seems to be written properly .

But, what is written in there, how scary~~~~~~ I’m getting curious .

[Father, what is written in the letter?] Karina

Karina asked him what I wanted to hear .

[Oh, it looks like there is no doubt that she is the messenger of His Highness the King of Elfanica Kingdom . ] Balima

He said that, even though he’s looking at the letter with the face saying [unbelievable] .

Well, it’s about the Bear isn’t it?

[It also states that she brought a replacement for damaged water magic stones . ] Balima

[Father, is that true?] Karina

[May I ask you for confirmation?] Balima

I took out the Kraken magic stone from the Bear Box and placed it on Balima-san’s desk .

[Here you go . ] Yuna

[Huge… . ] Karina

[So its true… . ] Balima

Balima-san lifts Kraken’s magic stone .

[I’ve heard that it’ll be a replacement for the broken magic stone, is that okay?] Yuna

[Will you really hand over this magic stone to us?] Balima

He looked astonished at the magic stone placed in front of him .

[I think its written on the letter as well . ] Yuna

It is written, right?

[Well, I didn’t expect this big magic stone to arrive, so what else can I say but thank you . ] Balima

[Please give your thanks to His Highness instead . ] Yuna

It is my magic stone, true…

But I don’t want anything troublesome .

Ostensibly, it is supposed to have been prepared by the King .

[Thank you… . ] Balima

I gave the Kraken’s magic stone, but his expression doesn’t look happy .

As expected, there is a problem isn’t there?

[Father… . ] Karina

Karina also whispers .

Balima-san gently puts his hand on Karina’s head .

Balima-san once again alternately looked between the letter and me .

And then, he called out to me with a determined expression .

[Yuna-san was it?] Balima

[Yes . ] Yuna

[The King says that if I have any trouble, I should read the other letter in this envelope . ] Balima

Balima-san takes out another envelope inside the envelope .

Two envelopes?

I haven’t heard from the king that there is another envelope .

[It is written that . ] Balima

[My permission?] Yuna

I don’t even understand what his saying .

I haven’t heard anything about this from the King .

[It is also written here . ] Balima

Ah, so that’s what he meant .

He didn’t write anything weird, did he?

I want to refuse, but Balima-san seems to be troubled as for getting the help from a Bear .

Normally, a sane person wouldn’t ask for help from a weird girl like me, even though he’s in trouble .

[In short, is it alright?] Balima

[To be honest, I am kinda bothered . I don’t know what the King had written . ] Yuna

Well, I wouldn’t normally know .

[But the King, whom I know, is a man who does not do anything senseless . ] Balima

Is that so?

I have never seen the King working, so I don’t know .

I only know the King who eat foods brought by me .

Oh, but when we first met, he might had looked like a King that time .

[I mean he’s the King… That definitely makes sense . ] Yuna

I need to clarify the meaning, shouldn’t I?

For the time being, Balima-san looks like he’s clinging on a straw .

Its not likely that I would refuse, so I gave my permission .

[Well then, I shall read it . ] Balima

When I give my permission, Balima-san opens the other envelope and takes out the letter from inside .

Then when he started reading the letter, his face turns into a surprised expression and looked at me many times .

[Father, what did that letter say?] Karina

Balima-san put the letter face down on the table to hide it from Karina .

[Father… . ] Karina

[Yuna-san, is this letter true? I don’t think His Highness will lie . ] Balima

[Hmm, let me see that letter . ] Yuna

Balima-san gave me the letter .

Upon receiving, I looked through the letter .

What was written in the letter was the highlight of my career .

The source of the water magic stone was obtained from the Kraken that I had defeated alone .

Furthermore, my subjugation of the Black Viper, the Wolf Tiger and the Black Tiger was also included .

It didn’t say anything about the 10,000 monsters, but something relatively close to it .

They were true and were written to help him trust me, if he wanted my help .

It also said to quietly send me back to the royal capital, If he still couldn’t believe it .

It also states that the commission will be paid by the Elfanica Kingdom .

At the end of this letter, a warning was written so that the contents of this letter will not be exposed even to his family .

So, when Karina tried to look into the letter, he put the letter faced down .

But curiously after reading the letter, isn’t this a bit much?

The letter states that .

Though at the end it was written .

Maybe he wrote this to make him believe me, but this is a bit disturbing .

I do hope that he don’t write such a letter in the future without my permission .

I wanted to shout out one of the complaints, but I do understand that it is taken into account .

I wonder if this anxiety is because of the King, for having me believe in him .

Did the King knew about the current state of this city before sending me to it?

Is that too much to think about?

[It’s all true… But would you believe me when I say that though?] Yuna

[It may be more accurate to say that I’m confused . If it’s a normal letter, I might say that this is a joke and tear it away . A pretty girl dressed like this, was dispatched to deliver such a big magic stone alone and she also had a lot of achievements in her career to back her up . Above all, she have the full trust of the King . ] Balima

That really seems to be confusing .

Well, it seems to be absurd saying that a girl dressed in a Bear Costume gained the King’s trust and did what was written in the letter .

However, it also looked like his brain wasn’t able to cope because of what is written in the letter, is from the King whom he trust .

Well, normally I wouldn’t believe it as well .

[Lastly, may I see your guild card?] Balima

[My guild card?] Yuna

[Yes, I’d like to confirm it if you don’t mind . ] Balima

I’m not sure if I’m going to leave the town without hearing the story, but I’m worried about the reason why Karina was in the adventurer’s guild crying .

I can’t just go home quietly .

I don’t know if Balima-san will ask me to do a job, but I’ll show him my guild card anyway .

When Balima-san received my guild card, he took the crystal plate out of the drawer and placed the card on it .

Then, the information of my guild card came out .

I can’t see it from here though .

Balima-san scanned the information on the guild card and after he saw it, he returned the guild card to me .

[Thank you very much… Yuna-san, please… Could you lend me a hand?] Balima

Balima-san bowed down to someone like me dressed as a Bear .

In other words, you believe in me right?

[Father!?] Karina

Karina was overwhelmed by Balima-san’s words and actions .

Well, it’s more surprising to say that her father bows down to a girl dressed as a Bear .

[Umm, what can I do to help?] Yuna

[Thank you . ] Balima

I accepted it, but what was Karina asking for at the adventurer’s guild?

Going to the bottom of that pyramid .

There was no problem because I wanted to go to that pyramid and get inside anyway .

[Then I would like to talk to you about it, I’m sorry to leave you standing for too long… Please have a sit… Karina, tell Rasa to bring some tea for her . ] Balima

When Balima-san asks Karina, a woman enters the room
