Chapter 199 – Bear-san Returns To Crimonia

After a few leisurely days, the inspector finally arrived from the capital and released Cliff from his work. Eleanora-san and Gran-san now formally took over to resolve the issue, aning today was the day we could finally head back to Crimonia.

「Noa, listen to Cliff properly, okay? I will be coming ho as soon as I get my next vacation.」

A few people had gathered to send us off, with Eleanora-san in front, making sure to say goodbye to her daughter.

「Okay. Mother, please tell Big Sister Shia I said hi.」

Eleanora-san would be departing back to the capital tomorrow, and Gran-san intended to join her, too. They were going to take the toad man and his son along with them, of course, as well as the black-clothed man. At the capital, they would finally be officially judged by the king.

A few of the servants working for the toad man would also be brought along while the rest of them would be sentenced by the town instead.

Their sentences would surely vary depending on who would be making the judgnt, but I was sure they would be able to distinguish between those more guilty than others.

The only one I was worried about was the maid who had been taking care of the abducted children. Eleanora-san had told that she had cooperated and confessed everything, so I hoped she would only receive a light punishnt. Either way, she seed like a nice person to , but sadly, I would get no say in her judgent.

Eleanora-san patted her daughter’s head, then turned to Fina and .

「Please continue to take care of my daughter. She can be a little selfish sotis, but she’s a good girl at heart.」

We nodded in reply.

We knew that Noa was a good girl; she had beco such good friends with a commoner like Fina, after all.

She did go a bit nuts over anything bear-related from ti to ti, but she was usually just a simple, kind child.

Looking to the side, I noticed that Noa looked embarrassed as if she wanted to tell her mother to stop.

With Eleanora-san’s goodbye all done, Zelef-san decided to speak up next.

「Yuna-dono, I would like to thank you for all the valuable experiences I received on this trip.」

「Sorry that it got a bit out of hand.」

「Oh no, I’m really happy that I was able to et up with an old friend. There is nothing you need to apologize for, Yuna-dono.」

I was glad that he thought of it that way.

Zelef-san had really saved us this ti around even though we had only ended up causing him a lot of trouble in return.

「It is unfortunate, however, that I will be unable to ride on Swaying Bear-dono and Hugging Bear-dono on the trip back. I would have loved to experience that again.」

Zelef-san looked rather glum.

Zelef-san would be taking a carriage back together with Eleanora-san, which was why he was so disappointed.

Since Zelef-san had taken his ti to help us out, I decided I would make sure to bring him a new recipe next ti I visited the castle.

After Zelef-san said goodbye to everyone else, the Faren Gramm family approach .

「Yuna, thank you for your help. If you weren’t here, my family would most likely end up in ruin.」

Gran-san said with a bow.

「It’s fine. You’ve already thanked plenty of tis.」

Gran-san and Misa’s parents had thanked so many tis in these past few days that I had completely lost count.

Since they wanted to show their gratitude, they kept asking if there was anything they could do for , but it felt wrong to receive sothing for simply doing what I wanted. I most certainly hadn’t rescued her because I wanted a reward, so I had no intention of receiving money from them.

If I accepted it, all the anger and feelings I had felt when saving Misa would just be a lie.

「Everybody’s going ho...」

Misa looked sad, but we couldn’t really help it.

Crimonia was our ho, after all.

Misa then looked at her father enviously.

「Uuu, Father, this is unfair. I want to go, too.」

Misa’s father, Leonardo-san, was coming to Crimonia with us because he wanted to apologize to Fina’s parents for what had happened here. Originally, the plan had been for Gran-san to go, but he was required at the capital, so it was decided for Leonardo-san to accompany us instead.

Fina had told them that it wasn’t necessary, and tried to stop them from going, but to no avail.

She had looked at many tis for support, but I didn’t really have any say in that matter, either. I had to apologize to Terumi-san and Gentz-san for putting Fina in danger as well, so I understood how Gran-san and Leonardo-san must feel. That was why I had simply kept quiet.

Still, it was because of how things had turned out that Misa was now envious of her father, who got to accompany us to Crimonia.

「I’m going so that I can apologize to Fina-dono’s parents. I won’t be long, so be a good girl and stay at ho, okay?」

Leonardo-san patted his daughter’s head to soothe her.

「Misa, you can co along next ti, and I will even take you to my shop.」

On the side note, both Misa and Noa really wanted the shop’s bear uniforms, so we decided to let them keep the uniforms.

What would they use the uniforms for, though? I couldn’t think of any other use for them other than pajamas...

Anyway, when I got back to Crimonia, I would have to order two new Bear Uniforms for Fina. Luckily, I could just ask for them as I pick up the plushies.

「Okay. I’ll co for sure!」

Crimonia was not that far away from here. At the very least, it was a distance we could travel fairly quickly, so we could et whenever we wanted. Thanks to the ‘Play with Bear-sans’ event, I could now safely co back to this town without having to worry about causing another Bear incident. Well, soone might still try to bother us, but that was just the usual reception I could receive at any town.

Once everyone finally said their goodbyes, we departed for Crimonia.

Because Leonardo-san and his guards were coming along, I decided not to use the Bear House this ti around. Cliff was okay with it, but Noa seed very disappointed. In order to cheer her up, I promised her that she would get to spend so extra ti with the Bears and even snuggle to sleep with them.

Before long, we returned to Crimonia safely. I had felt a bit hosick by this point, so it seed like I hadn’t been ho in ages.

When we entered town, I took a look up at the sky; it would be getting dark in a couple of hours. I wanted to head straight ho to take a bath and cuddle up in a bed, but I had to take Fina ho first. Oh, and I also had a lot to report to Terumi-san.

We parted ways with Noa and Cliff then headed to Fina’s ho together with Leonardo-san.

He had planned to apologize to Fina’s family the following morning, but I told him that they would most likely be busy then, so we decided to just take him there now.

I didn’t really lie about them being busy, but it was mostly because having to go there first thing in the morning would be a pain for , so it ended up being a good excuse.

I had to go with them as it would be best if I explained what had happened; I was responsible for Fina on this trip, after all.

Besides, regardless of when we would pay them a visit, I was sure they would be a bit freaked out having a noble show up at their door unannounced. I kind of felt bad for them, but I really wanted to get this over with, so that I could go ho and relax.

「Is it really necessary to speak with my parents?」

Fina tried asking again, looking really dispirited.

She still hadn’t given up even though Leonardo-san had already ca all this way.

She really didn’t like the idea of having a noble like Leonardo-san visit her ho, huh.

Well, I kind of understood how she felt.

Back in my old world, I would have felt uncomfortable if the mayor had co all the way to my house to apologize for sothing. Heck, anybody would feel troubled if soone of a higher social status ca to their house.

Not to ntion that, there was a large, visible gap between the commoners and the nobles in this world.

Still, since Leonardo-san was already here, Fina might as well give up.

「I allowed Misa’s beloved friend to be put in such a dangerous situation. If I don’t properly apologize, Father will scold .」

「But, nothing really happened to .」

「You were put in a dangerous situation; not getting hurt doesn’t change that.」

Fina finally gave up when we reached her ho.

「I’ll go call Mother.」

Fina said and entered the house. We could hear her call out「Mother! Mother!」to Terumi-san. Since Fina left the door open, we heard Terumi-san’s reply. 「Fina, you’re ho?」「Fina, you’re back!」Gentz-san pitched in as well. 「Mother, can you co out? There’s sobody who wants to see you.」

Eventually, Fina dragged both Terumi-san and Gentz-san outside. Gentz-san must already be done with his job for the day since he was ho, huh.

「Oh my, Yuna-chan. Welco back. You’re back a little later than you’ve originally planned, though. Is that why you wanted to see ?」

「I’m glad you’re both back. We’ve been worried.」

They didn’t look concerned in the slightest, though.

「It’s not who wanted to see you, it’s this person.」

Leonardo-san took a step forward.

「Yuna-chan, who is this?」

「He’s the son of the Sheelin’s feudal lord. He is Misa’s father.」

「Good evening. My na is Leonardo Faren Gramm.」

Leonardo-san greeted them with a bow.

「Feudal lord’s son?! As in, a noble?! Why is he here?!」

Terumi-san and Gentz-san panicked a bit, which was a normal reaction since it was unusual for nobles to visit commoners’ hos.

「Could it be that our daughter did sothing rude?」

Terumi-san asked with dread in her voice. Yeah, it made sense for most people to think of that first if they had a noble co to their ho.

「No, on the contrary, I have co today to apologize for the trouble we brought upon your daughter.」

Terumi-san looked at like she was begging to explain what was going on.

Just as I was about to do so, Leonardo-san explained everything himself with simply chipping in so details from ti to ti.

「When my daughter was being kidnapped, your daughter tried to save her.」

Terumi-san looked at Fina.

「I see, that’s why you ca all the way from Sheelin. We apologize for the trouble.」

Terumi-san and Gentz-san were quite troubled, as they didn’t know how to deal with this situation.

They seed conflicted on whether to invite us into the house and try to do sothing for the sake of hospitality, or simply stand here.

They even looked at a couple of tis, but I didn’t know what they should do either. We only had two choices: head inside or stay outside. Well, Leonardo-san had ntioned that he would head ho right after apologizing...

It was a strange sight to see Terumi-san worry, however. She always had this image of doing her work with steadfast confidence.

Gentz-san looked even more concerned than her. He looked pitiful though he was the head of the household.

Once Leonardo-san was done with his apology, he handed over so goods.

「Even though such a thing occurred during their trip this ti, I hope that you will treat my daughter kindly the next ti you et her.」

Leonardo-san said and bowed once again. Terumi-san and Gentz-san followed suit and bowed back.

「Well then, I will be taking my leave now.」

Leonardo-san said then turned to .

「Yuna-san, thank you for all your help.」

「Leonardo-san, are you leaving tomorrow?」

「Yes. Father will be heading to the capital, so I should get back to Sheelin as quickly as possible.」

He bowed at Fina’s parents one final ti and left. He would be staying the night at Cliff’s place and then depart early tomorrow morning. He seed like he wanted to stay longer, but with Gran-san being absent from Sheelin due to the kidnapping incident, Leonardo-san was forced to return early.

「Phew...」

Terumi-san sighed the mont Leonardo-san was out of sight.

「Now this was sothing. I never thought a noble from Sheelin would visit our ho.」

「Yeah...」

「Mother, Father, I’m sorry.」

Fina apologized.

「You have nothing to apologize for. You tried to protect your friend, right? Just try not to make us worry too much.」

They said and gently patted Fina’s head, not getting angry at all.

「Thank you, Yuna-chan, for taking such good care of our daughter.」

「I’m sorry, too. I had promised I would make sure nothing happened to her Fina, after all.」

「Don’t worry about that. We know that you care deeply for our daughter. I’m just happy you’re all back ho safe and sound.」

Terumi-san said and pulled Fina in for a hug.

「Mother, it hurts.」

「It’s been a while since I last saw you, so this much should be okay.」

「It’s embarrassing.」

What a pleasant sight. Gentz-san looked like he wanted to join in, too, but held back.

As I didn’t want to bother them any longer and ruin the mont, I told them I was going to head back ho.

「Before you go, why don’t you join us for dinner? There’s lots I want to hear about.」

「You should spend this evening together as a family...」

I tried to talk my way out of it, but Terumi-san wouldn’t budge.

「What are you saying? Don’t worry about that, we want you to join us. Co on in.」

Terumi-san grabbed my arm with one hand and Fina’s hand with the other. I knew it would be aningless to resist and let her drag into the house.
