Chapter 327: 327

When I woke up in the morning, Karina was hugging me while sleeping . Swaying Bear, whom she was hugging before going to bed, was curled up and sleeping next to Karina . Whether it’s glad to be released or lonely, only Swaying Bear knows .

By the way, Hugging Bear was comfortably sleeping on my arm .

For the time being, I decided to wake everyone up .

After finishing our breakfast, Balima-san asked me to come to the office when I was about to go out . It seems that there are many things he wants to talk about in this case .

Karina came together with me, but she didn’t get permission from Balima-san so she couldn’t enter .

[Once again, thank you, Yuna-san . I have no other words of gratitude . Karina also has a smile on her face now . This is all thanks to Yuna-san . For the past few days, Karina has been blaming herself . There were also times she’s crying in her room, she won’t come out no matter how much we called her . As a parent, it felt bad when I couldn’t even comfort my own daughter or soothe her heart . But Yuna-san saved Karina’s heart . I’m really thankful to you . ] Balima

When I first met her, Karina felt like she had a dead expression . But Karina was trying to do her best . And I think Karina did her best with that small body .

She didn’t run away even in front of the monsters, and she didn’t even whine . If you were a child in that situation, you might have said you don’t want to go because you’re scared . You may have acted on your own . But Karina didn’t do that . She knew exactly what we were doing and didn’t bother us .

When I told her about that, she looked very happy .

[So Yuna-san . Are you sure you want to borrow a guild card reader? If so then let me use my guild card reader . ] Balima

Mine would be treated as the King’s request, but what about Jade-san and others?

I handed my guild card to Balima-san . Balima-san, who received it, placed the guild card on the crystal plate, then operated the crystal plate . The process ended easily, and he returned the guild card to the mouth of my Bear Puppet .

[Yuna-san doesn’t want anyone to know about the Scorpion, so I’ll put it as part of the Kraken magic stone delivery . ] Balima

[You mean, the only ones who knew were you, the guild master, and a handful of people?] Yuna

[Yes, If there is a case where the proof of the subjugation record is asked, I and Follout-sama will handle it . ] Balima

[What about His Majesty the King?] Yuna

[Please give this letter to Follout-sama . I’ve written it here . He might want to see the Scorpion . ] Balima

In other words, the letter is about the Scorpion . I can’t get Balima-san to write a false report, so it can’t be helped this time .

But the King .

I’ll definitely show it to him . The King should not say anything, so I think I can feel relieved in that part . So far, neither the story of me killing 10,000 monsters nor the story of killing Kraken has spread throughout the royal capital .

However, it will definitely be known by Eleanora-san . In that case, it means eventually it will be known to Cliff like a chain .

Still, will Cliff say something?

[So, I would also like Yuna-san to give my thanks to Follout-sama . ] Balima

[Sure, I’ll give it to His Majesty the King, so it’s okay . ] Yuna

It is planned that I’ll receive money from the King . It also includes the cost of Kraken’s magic stone . It’s the money from the country anyways . If it’s from a King, it shouldn’t hurt him .

Not even an itch .

[No, the request was supposed to be the delivery of a magic stone . Finding the crystal plate and replacing the magic stones are separate matters . In addition, Yuna-san is the one who defeated the big Scorpion . I can’t let you go home without properly thanking you . ] Balima

[Don’t worry about it, Balima-san . You didn’t even know that a big Scorpion was there . If I sell the materials, it will become money and about the replacing of magic stones, I only followed Karina . ] Yuna

I almost did nothing during the switching of magic stones . I just got on top of Hugging Bear and followed Karina’s instructions .

[It’s different . Yuna-san should be aware of what you did . ] Balima

I know what you’re saying, but I don’t like to be condescending . If he’s a dirty businessman, then he’s asking for it, but he’s Karina’s father, and he’s not a bad person .

But no matter how much I refuse, Balima-san just won’t listen . Just say thank you and be done with it .

Today I was thinking of heading to the commercial guild to buy a house so I can set up a Bear Gate .

As a result of searching for a good location to set up the Bear Gate, I decided to buy a house in the city .

I thought the pyramid or in the middle of the desert would be a good location, but I couldn’t do it considering the monsters and human perception . So it was better to buy a small house in the city and set up a Bear Gate in it .

There I’ll come up with good things .

[Then, can you write a letter of introduction to the commercial guild?] Yuna

[A letter of introduction to the commercial guild?] Balima

[Yeah, I was thinking of buying a house in this town . You see, I look like this . ] Yuna

I showed my appearance to Balima-san .

[Bear-san, huh . ] Balima

[So, whenever I stay at an inn, people look at me with strange eyes, so I think I’ll buy a house so I’ll have somewhere I can stay whenever I come to this town . ] Yuna

[Etto, can’t you just look normal? . ] Balima

I usually think so too . But I answered the question immediately .

[I won’t . ] Yuna

I want to, but I don’t have the courage to stay at an inn in as a normal human . If I take off Bear Costume, I’ll become weaker than a normal girl . Even if I’m at home, I can’t do it because I’m scared of being in a normal outfit .

And I can’t install a Bear Gate in the inn .

[And even if I say I want a house, I don’t know whether it looks good, I might get looked down because of how my age looks, and I do not want those strange houses in strange places to be pushed at me . ] Yuna

I made excuses so I can set up a Bear Gate .

Besides, until now, the purchase of a property has been done with the help of others, except in Crimonia .

In the royal capital, there were Gran-san and Eleanora-san .

Atora-san in the town of Mereera .

In the city of Larouze, Letobert-san gave me a home .

And at the Elf Village, I got permission from Mumroot-san .

That’s why I was able to build Bear Houses or acquire houses without any problems .

So, if I want to buy a house in this city, I should be able to buy it without any trouble if I have a letter from Balima-san .

[Why are you buying a house, when you’re not living in there?] Balima

[It’s just a small house . I promised to visit Karina as well . ] Yuna

[In that case, it doesn’t matter if you stay at my house . Then my daughter will be happy too . ] Balima

If that is the case, I cannot set up a Bear Gate just like at the inn .

[I don’t know how long it will take to get to this town, which may be annoying…] Yuna

Well, another excuse…

[I don’t think it’s annoying . ……I see I understand . I’ve been persistently inviting you, so I’ll write a letter of introduction to the commercial guild . ] Balima

Balima-san suddenly changes his mind and writes a letter of introduction to the Commercial Guild . He’s probably wondering why a girl dressed as a bear didn’t want to stay at his house?

If you think about it that way, I’m a little sad .

And Balima-san gave me a letter of introduction .

[Thank you . ] Yuna

[No, I’m the one who should thank you . ] Balima

I asked Balima-san about the location of the commercial guild and left the room . I decided to head to the Commercial Guild .

Karina stood in the hallway .

[What did you discuss with my father?] Karina

[It’s about rewards . He thanked me for defeating the Scorpion . ] Yuna

[If that’s the case, I think it would have been nice if I could talk to you as well . ] Karina

[You don’t want to see the adult’s business, right? Perhaps I might ask Balima-san a lot . ] Yuna

Some people may call it unreasonable gratitude .

[Yuna-san, did you make various requests to my father?!] Karina

[No, I didn’t . When I told him I didn’t need it, Balima-san got angry . He should be aware of what you did . He’s such a good Father . ] Yuna

When I praised Balima-san, Karina replied with a big smile, [Yes] .

Then I went to the commercial guild to buy the house on schedule . Karina is walking beside me .

[Even if you don’t tag along, I won’t go home without saying a word . ] Yuna

When I said I’m heading out, Karina came with me . When I went out, she said, [Don’t go home yet . ]

[Then where are you going?] Karina

Karina doubtfully asks me .

You don’t trust me, do you?

But if I said I want to buy a house, I don’t want to be told [just stay at our house], like Balima-san, So I was silent, but it wasn’t a situation where I could lie .

[At the commercial guild . There’s something I want to buy . ] Yuna

[Something you want to buy? Like what?] Karina

[A house . A place to stay when I come here . When I stay in an inn, I will be stared at, so it’s very troublesome . ] Yuna

[If so, then please stay at my house . ] Karina

I can’t lie, after all, thus this happened . So I got silent .

[I would be a bother . I don’t want to bother you guys whenever I come to this town, also I’ll let you stay overnight . ] Yuna

[You’re not a bother . You won’t be needing a house . ] Karina

[At the moment, at the moment . ] Yuna

(TN: 「そのときは、そのときだよ」)

Isn’t Karina’s deception skills getting better?

We arrived at the Commercial Guild .

By the way, while going to the commercial guild, there was a moment when I got surrounded by children . When I held Karina in a princess carry style and ran away, Karina got angry at me again .

Why? Even though I’m not jumping .

[This is the commercial guild . I wish I get a good house . ] Yuna

The commercial guild was unexpectedly close to the adventurer’s guild where I first met Karina .

[I have a letter of introduction from Balima-san so I’m all set . ] Yuna

[If something happens, I will try my best . ] Karina

[Karina, don’t do your best . ] Yuna

[Wha…, why?!] Karina

With a little anger, she protested . I explained why .

[I don’t want Karina to become a child who misuses the power of her parents . Karina should not grow up as an adult who just gives orders . I want you to become an adult who’s thoughtful and giving instructions . ] Yuna

[I… I understand . I will stay silent . ] Karina

Whether it’s Karina or Noah, I want them to grow up without misusing the power of their parents from a young age . When they grow up, they will inherit the power of their parents .

At a young age, they shouldn’t learn much about commands and obeying . When they grow up, they’ll lose compassion for others .

But I think it’s okay if you look at Balima-san and Karina now . However, this time it’ll be a problem if she used her authority in the commercial guild, so I asked Karina to shut up .

I have a letter of introduction from Balima-san and it should be enough .
