Chapter 390

390 Bear-san Enters the City of Ludnik

Jade-san and Toya are sitting on the coachman’s seat and drives the carriage . The other members are inside the carriage .

[But are you really going to buy pots and pans?] Mel

Mel-san asks Fina and Ruimin instead of me . You simply can’t believe my words, can’t you?

[Yes . My mom asked me for some pots . ] Fina

[I was also asked by my mom and everyone in the village . ] Ruimin

Fina and Ruimin validated my words . Mel-san sighed after hearing the words of the two .

[Really? I thought it was a job to subdue a vicious monster because it was Yuna-chan . ] Mel

[If I’m going to such a place, I won’t take Fina and the others with me . Moreover, what do you mean by vicious monster?] Yuna

[Because there are ridiculous monsters anywhere Yuna-chan goes? You went to goblin subjugation and encountered a rare goblin king . Then, subjugated a black viper . ] Mel

Mel-san answers while raising two fingers .

[The black viper is different . ] Yuna

[But you still did it by yourself . ] Mel

[That’s, uh……] Yuna

[Additionally, there was a golem that Babord’s party couldn’t beat . ] Mel

Another finger was lifted .

For a moment, I wondered who was Babord? I thought hard, but I remembered because of the word golem . It was the baka rangers .

[And then, there’s Karina-chan . ] Mel

Mel-san seems to be talking about a giant scorpion .

Besides, there are 10,000 monsters, Kraken, and Wyvern that Mel-san doesn’t know . With that in mind, monsters do appear everywhere I go apparently .

That doesn’t mean I’m calling them for my amusement . It was mostly from helping people .

[Also, Yuna-chan . Thank you . I got a very nice armor . ] Mel

Mel-san seems to have remembered it from talking about Karina . She then raised her arm, rolls up her sleeve, and showed her wrists . There was some sort of a silver gauntlet on it .

[Is that a part of the shell of Scorpion?] Yuna

It seems that it was colored silver, so it’s nearly impossible to miss it .

[Yes, I had it processed and made to a gauntlet . It’s strong but light, so it doesn’t get in the way even if I use magic . Well, I don’t fight in close-quarter combat, so I don’t need it that much . But thinking about it, it’s better to have it on in case of an unexpected situation . ] Mel

[I had it made for my wrists and feet . ] Senia

Senia-san shows her wrists and legs . Senia-san’s armor is black .

[It’s convenient for kicking Toya . ] Senia

[That is not for kicking Toya!] Toya

Toya, who was sitting beside the coachman, shouted . Apparently, he can hear our conversation .

[But it’s lighter than the armor I’ve been wearing before, so it’s easier to move . ] Jade

Jade-san shows his arm from the coachman’s seat . Apparently, Jade-san has the same equipment .

[Also, I wanted an adventurer I knew to wear it, so I sold a part of the shell . But was that okay?] Mel

[Mel-san, I’ve already given that to you and your friends, so you can do whatever you want with it . ] Yuna

The big scorpion that I have was still untouched except for what I gave to Jade-san and his party . I glanced at Fina . She can now dismantle the small scorpions, so can she do the big scorpion next?

Imagine this . Fina is dismantling a scorpion that is way taller than herself .

Yeah, it’s impossible . One wrong move and she will be crushed by the crustacean .

[Well, that gave us enough money for Toya’s Mithril weapons . ] Mel

That’s more than enough .

[Now Toya has to thank Yuna-chan . ] Mel

[Uu . ] Toya

[Hey, say thank you to Yuna-chan . ] Senia

[Uuuuu . ] Toya

Even though his back is facing us, I can clearly tell that he is distressed .

[O-okay then . I made a promise, so I’ll just have to keep that promise . ] Toya

Yet, Toya opened his mouth regardless .

[Mi-Miss . Tha-thank you . ] Toya

If you’re so embarrassed by it, you don’t have to say it .

Moreover, that’s part of the hush money . Besides, I also got a lot of magic stones in return, so I got a great bargain . That’s why I don’t need to be thanked .

Though perhaps they sold it at a much higher price than I expected? Oh well…

And so, the carriage arrives in the city of Ludnik .

Ludnik is a mining town with two mountains, so the atmosphere here feels like a city at the foot of the two mountains .

At the entrance of the city, we held our guild cards over the crystal plate and entered the city . At that time, the gatekeeper dwarf who saw me, looked suspicious of me while touching his long beard, but we were able to enter the city safely .

Is this also thanks to Jade-san and his friends?

The carriage goes on as it enters the city center .

When I look through the small window of the carriage, though I’m not borrowing Ruimin’s words, there are indeed a lot of dwarves out there . Because they are short, they are mistaken for lively children when viewed from a distance .

It feels like I’m in a different world for the first time . I thought there were many stone houses because it is a city where dwarves live, but that is not the case, and there are many common wooden buildings .

[Many blacksmith shops are made of stone because accidents may happen . ] Jade

I guess a fire or something? A blacksmith is a job that uses fire . If the fire goes to the surrounding houses, it will cause a huge mess .

We left the city center to park the carriage .

There are places where you can park carriages and horses in the city . It costs money, but if you leave it to them, they will take care of the horse . Some inns have stables, but due to limited space, not all inns have this kind of service .

Therefore, businesses regarding carriage parking areas and public stables were established .

Carriages were moving in and out of a large hut . There was a person in the entrance having a conversation with Jade-san . Then, Jade-san told everyone to get off the carriage, and when we got off, Jade-san took the carriage into the hut . After a while, Jade-san came out of the hut .

[Now then, shall we head to the inn?] Jade

We left the carriage parking area and walked towards the inn .

We were supposed to stay in the same inn as Mel-san and her friends . With this, I don’t have to look for an inn, so I won’t refuse .

[Is the inn far away?] Yuna

I don’t want to walk too far . After all, the dwarves who passed by us whispered [A bear?] [There’s a bear?] [It’s a bear?]

Even from the dwemer point of view, bear costumes seem to be rare .

[There’s an inn nearby, but if it’s not available, we’ll have to walk a bit further . ] Jade

It can’t be helped then .

The closer the inn is to the place where you leave the carriage, the quicker it fills up . And the nearest inn has only one room available . So we decided to go to the next inn .

We are supposed to take three rooms . The first one is for Jade-san and Toya . The second is for Mel-san and Senia-san . And the third room is for Me, Fina, and Ruimin .

Mel-san tried to join in the same room as us, but I politely declined .

And so, we safely found the rooms at the next inn .

[U~u, I wish I had the same room as Yuna-chan . ] Mel

[I want Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to come with me . ] Senia

Mel-san and Senia-san look pitiful . But it was good that there were three rooms vacant by chance . I don’t want them to be in the same room as us and I don’t want to look for another inn .

After we rented the three rooms, we then proceed to check the rooms .

[Yuna-oneesan, did you really have to pay for my accommodation?] Fina

[If it’s money you need, then I’ll keep it a secret from my mother . ] Ruimin

These two were troubled that I paid for their accommodation .

[Don’t worry about it . I brought Fina with me in the first place, and Ruimin gave the directions . ] Yuna

[Thank you, Yuna-oneesan . ] Fina

[Thank you very much, Yuna-san . ] Ruimin

In the first place, I’m not going to let them pay for accommodation or meals . It is my role as an adult to pay after all .

After checking the room, we decided to have an early dinner .

Of course, the dwarves are the ones who’re running the inn . Obviously, not all residents of this city are craftsmen . Some are farmers, while others are innkeepers .

[Oh, I’m hungry . Let’s order quick . ] Toya

Everyone agrees with Toya’s words, so we order some meals .

[Yuna-chan, are you going to buy the pots and pans tomorrow?] Mel

[I will . But I’m looking for a certain blacksmith . ] Yuna

[A certain blacksmith?] Mel

[I have a letter for Ghazal-san’s master . I’m planning to go and deliver it . ] Yuna

When Ghazal-san’s name came out of my mouth, Toya had a face that looked like he remembered something nasty .

[Who is Ghazal-san’s master?] Mel

[Etto, I’m sure he said something like Rojina?] Yuna (TN: ロージナ)

I answer while trying to remember it .

[Rojina? You mean that Rojina?] Jade

[Do you know that person, Jade-san?] Yuna

I don’t know the person who is called Rojina .

[Quite a famous person actually . One of the best three blacksmiths in the city . If Ghazal-san was the disciple of Rojina-san, then I can finally understand how he got that technique . ] Jade

Apparently, Ghazal-san’s teacher is very famous in this city .

[Well then, Toya, do you want Rojina-san to make your sword?] Senia

[No, I’m going to the blacksmith who made your mithril weapons . If we go suddenly, Rojina-san might not be able to make it . Probably not without a reservation . Or maybe something like crafting a single weapon per month . ] Toya

[Is that so?] Senia

[Well, there are rumors like if the crafter is not satisfied with the final product, they will discard it . ] Toya

Where did you hear that? From the potters? In my head, a potter is the one who smashes the final product whenever they are unsatisfied with it . So on and so forth .

Since we’re talking about a blacksmith, will they melt it?

[That one was such a famous blacksmith after all . ] Jade

[Maybe they will make an exception to Yuna-chan since she’s acquainted with Ghazal-san?] Mel

Well, if it’s a weapon, then I don’t need it because Ghazal-san already made me knives . But lately, I’m starting to wonder about having an ordinary sword . However, if I really want one, then I’ll just ask Ghazal-san to make it for me .

And I don’t think that such a famous craftsman would easily make a weapon for a girl like me dressed as a bear .
