Bear-san, Goes To Sheleen’s Comrcial Guild
Going back in ti a little…
We arrived at the city of Sheleen before the sun sets.
“You’re really amazing, Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan.”
This is what happens when Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear get serious. But today I made them run back and forth between the mountains and Crimonia, and then to Sheleen. They look fine though, but I’ll have to give them a treat when things settle down.
Along with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, Mylene-san and I approached the city gate. The gatekeeper standing at the gate was surprised to see , Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear. And then he muttered, “Could they be the bears that the lord ntioned?” We were able to enter without being asked about Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, or my outfit.
!!
Was it Gran-san? Or maybe his son, Leonardo-san, told the gatekeeper about .
When I was here before, I had Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear run through the city, startling the residents. So maybe they were just being considerate.
But I am wondering if the “bear” the gatekeeper was referring to was or Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“Yuna-chan. Let’s hurry.” (Mylene)
Once inside the city, Mylene-san and I went to the comrcial guild. Of course, I repatriated Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so we ran from here. “Kuma?” “Kuma?” “Kuma-san?” “The bear from that ti?”
Outside of Crimonia, this would be the kind of reaction I’d always get.
“Yuna-chan’s outfit really stands out.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san said and started running down a deserted street.
“Mylene-san, are you familiar with Sheleen?” (Yuna)
“I sotis go to the towns around Crimonia, so I know of it to so extent.” (Mylene)
Despite saying that, she took her steps without hesitation, and shortly after, we arrived at the back door of so building.
“It’s the back entrance to the Comrcial Guild. Let’s go in here.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san opened the door to enter the building as if she were entering her own room.
As we entered the building, they were surprised to see a woman in a comrcial guild uniform, who suddenly barged in.
“And you guys are?” (Staff)
To the surprised guild staff, Mylene-san showed her guild card and said, “I would like to et the guildmaster”. The guild staff was montarily in a daze when she found out that we were “from Crimonia”, but still, she quickly guided us to the guildmaster.
As expected, when they knew she was a guildmaster, it made things quicker.
The guild staff was staring at , but I decided to not mind it.
“Guild master, the guildmaster of Crimonia, Mylene-sama, is here.” (Staff)
When the guild staff called out, a surprised voice could be heard from inside the room.
“Thank you. I’ll take it from here.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san thanked the guild staff and went inside the room before she was given permission from inside. I could not stay outside the room either, so I followed her.
In the room was a slender man about 30 years old.
The man stood up with a surprised look on his face as Mylene-san entered the room.
Is this person the new guildmaster? From what I have heard, the guildmaster of the comrcial guild that had ties to the toad aristocracy was forced to quit and was replaced by a new guildmaster.
“Mylene-san?! Wh- why are you here in Sheleen? If you had called , I would have gone to Crimonia myself.” (Guildmaster)
Mylene-san is younger than him, but sothing seems to indicate that the man is in a lower position than her. Is it the difference in how long they served as Guildmaster, not their age?
To begin with, it’s one of the mysteries of Crimonia that she is the guildmaster of Crimonia at such a young age.
“Mylene-san. You know the new guildmaster?” (Yuna)
As expected, she knew about him through her connections as guildmaster, didn’t she?
“Long ago, I helped him when he made a huge blunder and wrote a letter of recomndation for him when the guildmaster of Sheleen was replaced.” (Mylene)
I was surprised by Mylene-san’s words. I didn’t think she had written a letter of recomndation.
The guildmaster of Sheleen tried to prepare tea, but Mylene-san refused.
“It’s fine, I don’t have ti for tea.” (Mylene)
She explained why we ca here.
She briefly told him about the bandits, that a rchant nad Reedent was in the city, and that she was going to entrap him.
“I get what you’re saying. In other words, all I have to do is to make sure that the rchant nad Reedent hears that the adventurer and the comrcial guild have moved?” (Guildmaster)
“Yeah, if possible, I’d like you to put it in Reedent’s ear today.” (Mylene)
The handover of the package will happen tomorrow. We need to have it in Reedent’s ear by today or tomorrow morning.
Otherwise, we would just end up catching him as is.
According to Mylene-san, they were going to corner him to make sure he can’t get away with a lot of things.
“Also, if the adventurers move too soon, he may avoid contact entirely, so tell them that they will move in about three days.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san and Sheleen’s guildmaster finalized the conversation.
Then, once the conversation was settled, the guildmaster called one of the staff.
“Is there sothing you need?” (Staff)
A man in his mid-twenties entered the room.
“I need you to do sothing for ASAP.” (Guildmaster)
“And he is?” (Mylene)
“Rest assured that he is a trustworthy man.” (Guildmaster)
“My na is Maran.”
The man who introduced himself as Maran glanced at but said nothing.
The Guildmaster explained to Maran what he discussed with Mylene-san.
“I understand. I know a rchant by the na of Reedent, and I can spread the word very well.” (Maran)
Maran said reassuringly.
“We’re in a hurry, okay?” (Guildmaster)
“Yes. It’ll be fine. Please leave it to . Also, would it be okay to have an Adventurers’ Guild official help us to add credibility?” (Maran)
“Yes, of course. I’ll leave it to you.” (Guildmaster)
“Thank you.” (Maran)
“How promising~.” (Mylene)
“Please don’t pull him out.” (Man)
“I would never do that~.” (Mylene)
He seed really good. As an ally, he would be reliable, but as an enemy, he would be scary. In mangas, novels, and video gas, there were often cases where soone you thought was an ally turned out to be an enemy.
Of course, I don’t want those flags, I want him on our side.
When I looked at Maran, he smiled.
I can’t determine if I’m being ridiculed or being treated like a child.
“You seem to know Reedent, but what kind of rchant is Reedent from your point of view?” (Mylene)
“He’s a small man who humbles himself in front of the strong and takes advantage of those who are weaker than him.” (Maran)
Maran answered Mylene-san’s question succinctly.
“Then I guess everything is fine.” (Mylene)
“Yes, indeed.” (Maran)
Mylene-san and Maran laughed.
What’s this? This duo. I’m scared.
I think it’s been a long ti since I’ve seen Mylene-san’s guildmaster mode.
She’s usually kind, but she’s a scary person to make enemies with. By the way, when I asked her not to sell eggs to Cliff, she agreed just like that and she really didn’t sell them to Cliff, the feudal lord.
Let’s not just make enemies of Mylene-san.
“Also, just in case, we need to keep an eye on Reedent’s shop.” (Guildmaster)
Blitz and his harem were supposed to keep an eye out for any escaped bandits who might co.
“Yes, the adventurers I hired from Crimonia will be keeping watch. They will arrive this evening, I think.” (Mylene)
Blitz and his harem were heading here on horseback. Even if Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were faster, the distance isn’t so great that it should not make a difference.
“I could ask the Adventurers’ Guild for help.” (Maran)
At Maran’s suggestion, Mylene-san pondered for a mont.
“You’re right. I don’t know when they’ll arrive, so please ask them to keep an eye out as well. But please make sure it’s a trustworthy adventurer.” (Mylene)
It was certainly important. You’ll never know where information would leak.
I know a trustworthy adventurer party in Sheleen.
“In that case, a female adventurer party led by a person nad Marina is trustworthy, so if they’re available, ask them for a favor. If you tell them that it’s a request from Yuna, I think they will accept it.” (Yuna)
Marina and her party had escorted Gran-san many tis and were trusted by him. They have risked their lives to protect Gran-san. So they shouldn’t be with the toad.
They’re the most trustworthy adventurer party in Sheleen right now.
“Oh, Marina. I understand. If she’s here, I will ask her for a request.” (Maran)
Maran accepted my words with an open mind.
Does he think nothing of ? A bear?
Like the guildmaster, Maran never asked about my bear outfit. Whenever I et people for the first ti, they definitely ask.
Shortly, Blitz and his harem will co to the Comrce Guild asking for the location of the rchant Reedent’s store, so we also asked them to handle that as well.
“Then, I’ll try and get it into Reedent’s ears ASAP, so please excuse .” (Maran)
Maran bowed his head and walked out of the room.
“I didn’t know you had such a Guild staff.” (Mylene)
“He’s a trustworthy subordinate.” (Guildmaster)
Guildmaster proudly replied.
“He keeps a close eye on things, which makes my job a lot easier.” (Guildmaster)
Not long ago, the comrcial guild in Sheleen was under the toad. With a new Guildmaster and a new structure, there will be so discontent.
I don’t know how far the comrcial guild has been corrupted, but I wish them the best.
However, with the creation of an enclosure for Reedent, all we have to do now is gather evidence and make sure he can’t get away with it.

Author’s Note:
I thought the story was going to go to the part where Yuna and Mylene-san go to the forest, but it didn’t…
And it was supposed to connect to the previous story.
But it didn’t work out.
※ I’m really sorry. I’ve finished the manuscript for book 13, but I have to write new pages and deal with the store benefit, etc. I’d like to prioritize writing the web version, so I’ll be taking a break from replying to your comnts for a while. Thank you for understanding.
