334 Bear-san Goes to the Adventurer’s Guild.

Yesterday, I made the Bear Bus, a vehicle that we can use safely to go to Mereera, and now I am heading to the adventurer’s guild.

That was because I thought that I needed some escorts to protect the children. I can’t watch the children for 24 hours a day. I may act separately.

To be clear, the traveling members are mostly women and children. Genz-san is the only adult man. But Genz-san would want to be with Tirumina-san, Fina, and Shuri, so he can’t afford to take care of the other women and the children.

There are also young women such as Anzu, Elena-san, Karin-san, and Liz-san. It’ll be a problem if a strange man approached them. These were my important employees who were entrusted to me by their parents and guardians. If you think so, it’s not only for the children but also for the women’s escorts will be needed.

So I came up with Gil.

I’m trying to get Gil to intimidate the weird guys so they don’t get near us. If Gil stood nearby, no one would make a foolish move. It’s proven when I asked him to guard the shop before.

Also, Gil knew the kids, and he’s well known by the staff because he comes to the shop quite often.

I entered the Adventurer’s Guild and looked around. There were several adventurers sitting in chairs chatting, but Gil and Lurina-san were nowhere to be seen.

Are they out working?

It’s past noon, so the Adventurer’s Guild seems to be free. All of the Adventurer’s guilds were busy in the mornings and evenings.

Right now, the remaining adventurers were gathering information and waiting for new requests.

[Yuna-san, what’s up?] Helen

While I’m looking around, Helen-san, who’s sitting at the reception desk, calls out to me.

[I’m looking for Lurina-san and Gil.] Yuna

[Lurina-san and Gil-san? I’m sure they went out a while ago.] Helen

[Is that so?] Yuna

Then, it isn’t possible to go to the sea together?

[Do you have a business with them?] Helen

[There’s something I need to ask them a little.] Yuna

[Then, when they come back, shall I inform them?] Helen

I don’t know when they’re coming back, so I might as well ask her to.

If they come back by the time I left, then, please. If they don’t come back, you just have to say they didn’t come back.

[Well, then, please.] Yuna

I want to talk to them about going to the town of Mereera with the children of the (corn) orphanage. So I’m going to ask Lurina-san and Gil to be the escorts. (TN: Sorry can’t help it.)

Though I said it’s an escort job, it’s actually an invitation to play with us.

Gil is too serious when it comes to working, so I feel like he’s going to do his job without playing.

[Come to think of it, Yuna-san will go to the town of Mereera with the children of the orphanage.] Helen

[And everyone who works in the shops. But how did you know that?] Yuna

Did you see the announcements posted in the shops?

I’m sure, Tirumina-san was saying that she would post the flyers early.

[Genz-san wants to go to the town of Mereera, so he asked the Guild Master for a vacation. That’s why Genz-san is working even on his off days to get a vacation, so every guild employee knew about it.] Helen

I see, so it’s via Genz-san.

[Genz-san. Is he okay?] Yuna

If he’s tired, I’ll let him drink the tea of the sacred tree. The tea of the sacred tree has the effect of fatigue recovery. It’s terrible if he falls down due to overwork before the trip.

[I think he’s okay, he works happily every day.] Helen

If so, then all is well.

[I’m still envious. I also want to go to the sea.] Helen

[Then, why don’t you just come with us, Helen-san?] Yuna

When I invited Helen-san, there was a rattling sound in the back, so when I turn around, the male adventurers look away. There were also some adventurers who were whistling.

Even though I’m insensitive, I can understand them. Apparently, the adventurers seem to like Helen-san.

Helen-san is a beautiful woman after all.

[Helen-san, you’re welcome to join us.] Yuna

There is no problem because I only need to stretch the torso of the Bear Bus even if the number of people increased by one.

[Fufu, thank you. I appreciate your words. But please, have fun with everyone this time.] Helen

That’s too bad. I’ve always been indebted to Helen-san, so I wish I could thank her somehow.

I asked Helen-san to give a message to Lurina-san and Gil before I left the Adventurers Guild.

Then, I went to

Today I wanted to see how things were going, not as a customer, so I entered through the back door. When I entered the kitchen, I saw everyone was working hard. Lunchtime had passed, so there is no rush. Still, there’s a lot of work to do.

The children noticed me. They wanted to approach me, but they’re being patient. The children seem to be growing up, too.

So, I’ll come up to them and say, [Please do your best].

With that kind of feeling, Morin-san comes over as she wanders around the kitchen.

[Yuna-chan, welcome. I heard from Tirumina-san, but are you sure we’re going to have 10 days off?] Morin

[Well, that’s the plan. Though we might come back sooner so we’ll have plenty of room for any adjustments.] Yuna

We can come back earlier and have a rest when getting tired of playing. In the first place, I want to take a break.

I think I’ve been doing too much work lately. I should be able to rest for a little while.

[But if you take 10 days off, the sales will…] Morin

Morin-san has the same worries as Tirumina-san.

[It’s okay. I’m not going to reduce everyone’s pay, so just have fun.] Yuna

[I’m not worried about that…] Morin

Then what are you worried about?

[Is there any merit for Yuna-chan? If you close the shop, you won’t get any money. Moreover, you’re paying our salary even when we’re resting. I can’t understand what Yuna-chan is thinking.] Morin

I wonder, is that’s how everyone normally thinks?

What’s more, Morin-san is a craftsman who has been working all the time, so she might think so.

[This is to thank all of you for working hard.] Yuna

[I’m grateful when I’m working.] Morin

[I’m also trying to prevent Morin-san from pulling out. If you want to work somewhere else, please tell me. I will offer you better conditions than that.] Yuna

[Fufu, there is nothing better than this.] Morin

Morin-san laughs.

[But Tirumina-san came here, right?] Yuna

[She came here yesterday and she’s also here right now. She said that she wanted to talk to Elena-chan, so she’s probably in the break room with Elena-chan.] Morin

[With Elena-san?] Yuna

I was interested, so when I parted from Morin-san, I went to the break room.

Entering the break room, as Morin-san said, there were Tirumina-san and Elena-san.

[Yuna-chan?] Tirumina

[What’s up with you two?] Yuna

I asked straightforwardly what they were talking about.

[I asked Elena-chan about the inn] Tirumina

[The inn?] Yuna

[Like I’ve told you before. Teaching the people who’re coming to take care of the birds was a commercial guild request, and the commercial guild is looking for a place for them to stay. This time they’re asking us, so I’ve been telling you that we need to secure a place to stay.] Tirumina

Wait you did?

Maybe you did, though I don’t remember.

But that’s what Tirumina-san says.

[So I asked Elena-chan to secure an inn.] Tirumina

Elena-san’s parents’ house is an inn.

[As I’ve heard, there are four people right?] Elena

[Yeah, the commercial guild was supposed to help as well.] Tirumina

[Then I will tell my dad when I get home today.] Elena

[Please do.] Tirumina

Tirumina-san stands up in a hurry.

[Now then, I’m going to Anzu-chan’s shop.] Tirumina

Somehow, Tirumina-san seems to be busy. Tirumina-san greeted Morin-san and left the store. I also left the shop after Tirumina-san left. Then I chased after Tirumina-san.

Not because I have free time. I have to talk to Anzu before we go to the town of Mereera.

[Tirumina-san looks so busy.] Yuna

When I said so, she turned her eyes to me. Her eyes were saying, . The message was sent without saying a word.

[I’m sorry,] Yuna

[Fufu, what are you apologizing for?] Tirumina

Tirumina-san’s expression changes into a smile.

Because there is a saying, .

(「目は口ほどに物を言う」)

[It’s because of me that you were inconvenienced.] Yuna

[It certainly became difficult thanks to Yuna-chan. But it’s fun to be busy.] Tirumina

[Is that so?] Yuna

I’m happy during my free time.

So maybe, Tirumina-san is an M?

[As you already know. I couldn’t get out of bed for a long time because of my illness. That’s why I’m happy to be able to move like this, and it’s fun to work hard with everyone. So it’s fun to help, even though Yuna-chan does stupid things sometimes.] Tirumina

What stupid things?

I don’t remember doing any stupid things.

[And I thought I could never see the ocean once more, so once again I’m thankful for Yuna-chan. That I can be a little busy.] Tirumina

[I don’t mean to cause you trouble, but don’t overdo it. Because, if you fall down, Fina and Shuri will be sad again.] Yuna

[Fufu, right. Thank you for worrying, Yuna-chan.] Tirumina

Tirumina-san pats my head as I walk beside her.
