Chapter 343

343 Bear-san, eats Bear-Bread?

[There are a lot of bears inside the shop . ] Misa

When Misa enters the shop, she made a very big smile . Because she saw the walls, the columns and the tables were decorated with deformed bears in various poses . A bear climbing a wall . A bear clinging to a pillar . On the tables there were running bears, parent and child bears, honey licking bears, fighting bears, sleeping bears, bears holding fish, and various bears .

Misa was looking around like a child at an amusement park . Then, Misa’s gaze stops at a little employee .

[They really look like Bear-san . Moreover, you have so many children working here . ] Misa

There are some things that are difficult to say . All of them are the children who offered themselves to me, I’m not forcing them to work . Besides, a lot of children in this world are helping their homes .

[But this place looks pretty . There are so many bears in this shop . ] Misa

Misa was excited and I need to calm her . So I grabbed her hand and went to order bread .

[Yuna-chan, Welcome . ] Karin

Karin-san was at the bread corner .

When Misa saw Karin-san, she whispers, . I heard it, and it seems Karin-san heard it as well .

[Today you’re with someone that I don’t know about . ] Karin

Karin-san was looking at Misa .

[I’m Misana from the city of Sheleen . This time I was invited by Yuna-oneesama and Noa-oneesama to go to the town of Mereera together . Pleased to meet you . ] Misa

[…Yuna-oneesama?] Karin

[Yes, I’m calling her that . ] Misa

[Yuna-san, who is this girl?] Karin

Karin-san whispered to me . It seems like she felt something .

[Someone related to Noa?] Yuna

Karin-san seems to understand it with just my few words .

[Don’t worry . You can treat me like Fina-chan and Shuri-chan . ] Misa

Karin-san seems troubled even if Misa said so .

[By the way, how do you call Noa-oneesama?] Misa

[……I’ve been calling her, Noire-chan . ] Karin

I’ve been concerned about Noa forcing the children of the orphanage to call her . However, because her status cannot be abandoned, Karin-san and Morin-san settled with calling her as . So the children of the orphanage are also calling her as and . Though I have never seen an older boy approached and talked to her .

By the way, only me, Fina, and Shuri were calling Noa by her nickname .

[So please call me Misana . ] Misa

[Well then, I’ll call you Misana-chan . ] Karin

[Yes . ] Misa

[Then, Misana-chan . Which bread would you like?] Karin

[Everything looks delicious, so I’m not sure . ] Misa

Misa is looking at various pieces of bread .

Then Misa saw a certain bread .

[It’s Bear-san bread! I’ll have Bear-san bread!] Misa

Misa looks up at me pointing at the bread .

Yes, what Misa found was a bear-shaped bread . A round bread with a cute bear-face .

[I would like this bear-san bread . ] Misa

[It’s a popular bread in the shop and It’s delicious because it’s just baked . ] Karin

Karin-san puts the bread on the plate .

[What do you guys want to have?] Yuna

[Karin-san, please give me bear-san bread . ] Noa

[Me too . ] Shuri

[If everyone is going to have bear-san bread, I will also have it . ] Fina

When Misa chose bear-san bread, Noa and Shuri followed, then finally Fina chooses bear-san bread as well .

This bear-san bread is the bread that is made using the mill that I made in this shop .

At first, a small child in an orphanage tried to make a mill… But then he was troubled because he couldn’t make bear-shaped bread using that mill . After seeing that, I helped him make it while thinking it was for the children in the orphanage…

(TN: (ミル = miru) I’m not sure if it’s a grinder, a mold or a seaweed . )

I don’t think it’s a failure . And a few days later, I have a sad memory that Bear-san bread was lined up in the shop .

When I talked about the mill, Karin-san said, .

So the story reached Morin-san and Tirumina-san, and they decided to sell bear-san bread at the shop . Why didn’t they consulted me? Is it because I will feel bad about it?

But now the bear-san bread is one of the most popular pieces of bread .

With a small resistance, I ordered another portion of bear-san bread . Karin-san, on the other hand, was laughing .

[Here’s the payment . ] Yuna

I gave the payment to Karin-san .

[Thank you very much . ] Karin

Karin-san thanked me, received the money, then she returned to the counter .

[Yuna-oneesama, you’re paying even though it’s your store?] Misa

[Whenever I come in as a customer, I pay it in the store . ] Yuna

We put our bread on plates and sit on an empty seat .

[Bear-san is sleeping . ] Misa

Misa enjoyably touches the deformed sleeping bear on the table . Then, when she grasped it, she tried to take it .

[U~u, I can’t take it . ] Misa

[You won’t be able to take it no matter how much you pull . ] Yuna

Everyone who comes to the shop for the first time tried to take it . But the bears in the store aren’t easy to remove . Misa looks disappointed . I already gave her plushies, so let’s be patient .

[Let’s eat quickly before it gets cold . ] Yuna

It’s freshly baked bread . It is better to eat while it’s still warm .

To my words, Fina and Noa shred the ears of bear-san bread and started eating . Shuri grabs and bites the bear-san bread as it is . Everyone is eating while Misa seems to be holding back and doesn’t want to try eating it .

[Are not you going to eat?] Yuna

[I feel pity for it . ] Misa

[I know how you feel Misa . When I ate bear-san bread for the first time, I felt sad as well . ] Noa

[Noa-oneesama, you as well?] Misa

[But after eating it many times, I could eat it normally now . ] Noa

Getting used to it is kinda scary .

[By the way, when I shredded the ear of bear-san bread, Shuri seems to have a tear on her face . ] Noa

[No I did not . ] Shuri

Shuri inflates her cheeks while eating the cheeks of bear-san bread with delight .

[For now, Misa, eat your bread . It may have a bear’s face, but it’s delicious bread . ] Yuna

[Yes . ] Misa

Misa rips the ear of bear-san bread and puts it in her mouth .

[It’s delicious . ] Misa

After taking a bite, she started eating the other parts as well .

By the way, I don’t want to think that my face is being eaten . My face isn’t a bear after all .

After we finished eating our bread, a girl working at the store comes over .

[Yuna-oneechan . Morin-san wants to talk to you a little . ] Bear-girl

[Morin-san?] Yuna

[Un, she told me to call Yuna-oneechan, because she wants to talk to you . ] Bear-girl

Hmm, what is it? Is it about Mereera?

[Hey, I’ll go to the kitchen for a bit, so everyone for me here . ] Yuna

Leaving the four behind, I head to the kitchen in the back .

[Morin-san, what do you need?] Yuna

[Yuna-chan, what is about? Suddenly, Gentz-san brought me Scorpion meat and asked me to cook it properly . Even if I receive the message, it’s just…] Morin

Ah, so that’s what you want to ask?

I was so tired from the swimsuit fashion show, so I asked Gentz-san for a message . I forgot about it was yesterday .

[I got some ingredients, so I thought I’d have them cooked properly . If it tastes good, we’ll sell it for a limited time . ] Yuna

[If so, then please tell that properly . ] Morin

[Sorry . ] Yuna

[But Yuna-chan, can we really afford to go to Mereera . ] Morin

Morin-san is quite amazed .

Certainly, if we are going to make a new dish for a short period before a long vacation, you can’t help but wonder .

[So, could you use it for cooking?] Yuna

[Yeah . It was a bit subtle for bread, but it fits pizza . I tried baking it and it was delicious . ] Morin

That’s true and it seems that she already cooked some .

[Since I’ll bake it for trial, Yuna-chan should give it a try too . ] Morin

After Morin-san said that, she skillfully made the pizza dough and put the ingredients on it . Finally, she added the scorpion meat and put it in the stone oven .

After a while, a delicious burnt smell wharfs throughout the kitchen .

[Then, let’s get Fina-chan and the others eat it as well and let us know what you think . ] Morin

Apparently, she heard that I brought Fina and others .

I returned to the dining hall with the Scorpion pizza on a plate .

[Yuna-san, what’s with that pizza?] Noa

[Morin-san made a new one, so please ask for a tasting . Can everyone still eat?] Yuna

[Yes, I’m still fine . ] Fina

[I’m still fine too . ] Misa

It was good that Fina and the other’s stomachs seemed to have room for more . It’s not much, but I can’t eat it alone .

I put the pizza I already cut with a knife on everyone’s plate .

[Be careful because it’s hot . ] Yuna

Everyone started eating before I even finished saying it . So there is a sight of everyone blowing because it is hot . I will also start eating .

It feels normally delicious . I don’t know the taste of Scorpion, but it has a crunchy texture like shrimp .

[It’s delicious . ] Shuri

[So Yuna-san . What’s in it?] Noa

Is it okay to tell them?

[It’s a scorpion . ] Yuna

[Scorpion? Speaking of which, Lala said she bought such meat . ] Noa

Well, I brought it to the guild yesterday, so it shouldn’t be strange for it to be on the market as early as possible . Since it’s the guild, they probably want to sell it quickly .

[She said it’s quite nutritious . ] Noa

[Is that so?] Yuna

I’m a little reluctant to say it’s Scorpion meat, but they’ll normally buy it .

But the pizza isn’t bad . As Lala said, do people want as much nutrition as they can?

Then, I went to the kitchen and said to Morin-san, I could give some of it from my stock and maybe sell it for a limited time .

[I was a bit reluctant when I heard of Scorpion, but it was delicious . ] Morin

Basically, pizza is delicious no matter what you put on it .

(TC: Though I love it, Hawaiian haters disagree . )

Apparently, everyone’s evaluation seems to be good .

Then, we told Morin’s impression and left the shop .
