Chapter 330: 330

I used the Bear Gate to instantly return to the Bear House in the royal capital .

Going to a faraway place was quite difficult, but the return trip was very easy, so the Bear Gate really helped me a lot . The instantaneous movement was also good, but this one was rather convenient . It can also be used to defeat the Scorpion just like the last time .

Well, it’s nice to be back after some time, but it’s also a good idea to go and meet with the King as soon as possible .

So I’ll make time adjustments here as well .

I have many things to do . But first, I have to clean the Bear House in the royal capital that I don’t use often .

Since it was only used as a base for moving, it has accumulated dust . I don’t know when I’m going to bring an acquaintance .

Fina might stay with me here .

I’ll spend my time cleaning, washing, etc . Then, in the afternoon, I’ll head to the castle when it’s time for a snack .

While I was heading to the castle in the shape of a bear, I heard the sound of someone running from behind .

What’s that about?

someone was shouting my name . When I looked back, a beautiful blonde girl hugged me .

[Tilia?] Yuna

It was Tilia in her uniform who hugged me .

[Yuna, what are you doing here? are you perhaps heading to the castle?] Tilia

[Yes, but did Tilia just came back from school?] Yuna

Well, she’s wearing a school uniform, so it’s obvious .

[Yup . So while I was on my way back to the castle, I ran because I saw the back of someone familiar walking in front of me . ] Tilia

It’s embarrassing to be told with such a cute smile .

[Does Tilia walk from school?] Yuna

[Yeah, that’s right . ] Tilia

[Even though you’re a princess? Don’t you use a carriage or be guarded by an escort?] Yuna

[I go by carriage to school . But I go with my friends on the way back, so I’m walking back home . ] Tilia

I thought she was being protected by a strict bodyguard, but that doesn’t seem to be the case . Well, there wasn’t one at the school festival either .

However, it’s quite surprising that she’s not using the carriage on her way home . Was it okay for the princess to be walking out here alone?

Though I remembered one time, Tilia’s father, the King himself, went to the Bear House alone .

I get it .

The members of the royal family were doing whatever they please . It’s no use thinking about it .

[So is Yuna going to see Flora?] Tilia

[I am going to meet with His Majesty today . ] Yuna

[With Father?] Tilia

[He asked me to do a job . I’m going to report it because the job was done . ] Yuna

[Speaking of which, Yuna is an adventurer . ] Tilia

That’s right .

By no means, my occupation and my race was a bear .

I’m a human adventurer .

[But it’s amazing that Father personally asked you to do a job . ] Tilia

[Eh?] Yuna

[He’s the King, so he won’t ask you if he didn’t trust you . ] Tilia

[It just kinda happened . There’s something I wanted to get there . If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t do it . ] Yuna

[Is that right? Father seems to like Yuna very much . ] Tilia

Um, that King?

I have to think about that .

……I wonder if that’s true?

[The food you bring were very rare . ] Tilia

[I think that’s what he likes very much . ] Yuna

He just wanted to eat pudding .

After some time while I was having a casual talk with Tilia, I can see the castle gate .

[Tilia-sama, welcome home . ] Guard

[I’m home . ] Tilia

[Also, it seems that Yuna-dono is with you?] Guard

[It just happened by chance . ] Yuna

The soldiers were used to my responses . They were hardly surprised by it .

Though sometimes when they change shifts, there were others who were very surprised . But quite often, the soldiers who knew me were at the gate .

[When Yuna-dono comes, we were told to take her to His Majesty the King . ] Guard

[Shall I go there alone? Or with someone else?] Yuna

[I shall take you…] Guard

[It’s okay . I’ll take her . ] Tilia

[Tilia-sama?] Guard

Tilia stopped the soldiers who were trying to take me and offered to take me instead .

[But……] Guard

[Leave it to me . Father is in the Oval Office, isn’t he? I’m going with Yuna . ] Tilia

Tilia grabbed my Bear Puppet and she donna-donna me into the castle . The gate guard saw us off without saying a word .

While we’re walking, I met someone I wouldn’t want to see .

[Ara, Yuna-chan, and Tilia-sama . ] Eleanora

[Eleanora-san . Are you skipping your work again?] Yuna

[Even Yuna-chan, is saying the same thing as His Majesty . I’m just taking a break . So, why are Yuna-chan and Tilia-sama together?] Eleanora

[Yuna is going to meet with Father, so I’m taking her to his office . ] Tilia

Eleanora-san thinks a little .

[Well then, I will also go with you . ] Eleanora

[Hey, are you really working?] I wanted to tsukkomi her, but I held back… Well, she’s always like that anyway .

[I’m not going there to play . I’m not giving you delicious food . ] Yuna

It’s a problem if she misunderstood why I’m here, so I’ll just say that just in case .

[Yuna-chan, just what do you take me for?] Eleanora

I was right, aren’t I?

I always go to Flora-sama’s room . Then you’re coming in from out of nowhere and eat food every time, weren’t you?

[Come on, let’s go . ] Eleanora

I got sandwiched between Tilia and Eleanora, so I’m being donna-donna by both of them .

And so, we arrived at the usual office .

[Father, I’m coming in . ] Tilia

She opened the door without waiting for a reply from inside and entered the room .

[Tilia? I’m working right now…… Yuna? And Eleanora?] King

The King, who was going through the mountains of papers, looked at Tilia and noticed that I and Eleanora-san were standing next to her .

[Yuna, you’re back . ] King

[Just a moment ago . ] Yuna

That’s a lie .

[So why are you together with Tilia and Eleanora?] King

[When I came back from school, I found Yuna swaying her pretty tail . She said she wanted to see Father, so I brought her here . ] Tilia

I’m not swaying my tail . I was just walking normally .

[When I was taking a walk, I found a cute bear, so I followed her . ] Eleanora

Eleanora imitated how cute the way Tilia talks .

[You should be working!] King

[I am working . ] Eleanora

Didn’t you just say you were taking a walk? The King was as amazed as I am .

[Okay . Thank you for bringing Yuna . You can both step out now . ] King

The King waved his hand and tried to drive Eleanora-san and Tilia out of the room like they were some annoyance .

[What? What are you going to do alone with her? Yuna-chan is still a child!] Eleanora

[Father!] Tilia [FBI-san!] Attattin

[Shi・go・to・no・wa・na・shi・da . (It’s about work . ) Eleanora, you should know about that . ] King

[I’m just joking . You don’t have to be so mad about it . ] Eleanora

[It’s because you said something stupid . Don’t make stupid remarks like that because it’s going to have a negative impact on my daughter . ] King

I think it’s too late . She’s already under her influence, she’s way too deep . She always said these things in front of Tilia, that’s why Tilia’s remarks were like that .

She’s definitely more influenced by Eleanora-san, than the queen .

On the other hand, Shia was a good kid because she grew up properly .

Shia was more like Cliff in a rather serious way . Even though Noa lives far away, she resembles Eleanora-san . I wonder, was it because of the blood?

[Then I can stay and listen to the report, right?] Eleanora

[That’s not fair . I also want to hear it . ] Tilia

[I just asked to do a delivery job . ] King

[Then it’s okay if we stay and listen to the report, right?] Tilia

Tilia looked at the King . The King looked at me .

[What do you think?] King

[Why are you asking me?] Yuna

[If it’s just an ordinary report, there is no problem . That’s why I’m asking you . I’ll be in trouble if I get blamed for it later . ] King

Did he know something about the pyramid?

[What makes you think?] Yuna

[It took too long . I thought, with your bears, you would come back a little sooner . ] King

Certainly, we waited a few days for the adventurers, we explored the basement of the pyramid and dived into the labyrinth . Furthermore, due to the time adjustment, I remained for two days in the city .

If you think about it normally, I should be back much earlier .

[But I might be doing some sightseeing in the city . ] Yuna

[In that case, there is no problem . You were late, I thought something might have happened, so I tried to get them out of the room . ] King

The King was trying to get them out for me, I see .

Certainly, I cannot speak openly about the pyramid .

But it’s like admitting that something must’ve happened to drive Tilia out of the room . But even if I don’t say anything, they’ll stay and listen .

Either way, it will be the same .

Also, it’ll be a problem if Tilia talked about it at her school…

[Tilia, this is my job as an adventurer . ] Yuna

[I knew it, something must’ve happened…] King

[Something happened . ] Eleanora

The King had a look .

Eleanora-san looks like she’s an aunt somewhere . Ah, Eleanora-san may look young, but is she an actual aunt?

[Yuna-chan, Did you think something strange just now?] Eleanora

[You’re just imagining things . ] Yuna

Don’t go and read people’s hearts .

[Okay . For now, Tilia should leave the room . ] King

[Eh?~] Tilia

[Don’t me . ] King

[Then, why can Eleanora stay?] Tilia

[Obviously . What would I do when I hear an outrageous story by myself . It’s necessary because she’s in charge of Yuna . And Eleanora knows what I asked Yuna . ] King

Eh? What? The person in charge of me? Now, where have I heard that phrase before?

[Then, I will also be in charge of Yuna . ] Tilia

That’s not a good idea .

I’m not a bear from a zoo and I don’t need you to feed me .

Moreover, what’s with the princess being in charge of me?

[I also want to hear the report . It’s unfair that everyone is hiding it from me . ] Tilia

[That’s not it . I made a promise to Yuna . I simply protect that promise . ] King

His promise .

The words reminded me of the hush order for the 10,000 monsters incident and the Kraken . Apparently, the King wanted to keep what I’ve been doing a secret to the public .

It’s harder than I thought .

[Then, on behalf of Tilia-sama, I shall listen to what Yuna-chan has to say . ] Eleanora

Eleanora-san’s words had been approved by the King, so she sat on a chair .

[That’s cheating . I also want to hear it . ] Tilia

Tilia grabbed my clothes . It doesn’t stretch, but I want you to stop pulling on it . I looked at the King to ask for help .

[You decide . ] King

[Yuna……] Tilia

Tilia looked at me in the eyes .

[…………] Yuna

I sigh as if I gave up .

[Don’t tell it to anyone . ] Yuna

[Yuna, thank you very much . I won’t tell anyone . ] Tilia

Even if I decline her here, she will definitely inquire about it later . Then I should give up and make her keep a promise .

Tilia happily sat on a chair, and so I did the same .

[Please keep quiet about it as well, Eleanora-san . ] Yuna

[It’s alright . I have a tight mouth . Oh, but I have to tell about it to my dear Cliff . ] Eleanora

[No, please don’t . ] Yuna

The King and I sigh at the same time . The King also seems to be having a hard time with Eleanora-san . Do men have a hard time with women in this world?

Cliff seems to have a hard time, too .

Author’s Note:

It’s kinda funny because it was supposed to end on her way back to Crimonia .

I was wondering whether to make Tilia or the crown prince, listen to Yuna’s story, but I decided on Tilia .

Also, the crown prince’s turn has come a long way .

In the activity report, I wrote the difference between the 5 volumes of the book version and the web version . In the future, the story will proceed based on the book version . It may be related to the orphanage, so it would be helpful if you read it before the sea arc .

I apologize for the inconvenience it caused to our dear readers, and thank you .
