Bear-san, Calls Fina And Friends

For now, we left the hot springs for later and decided on where to place the bear gate.

After checking the third floor, we went down to the second floor.

“The second floor will be the servants’ quarters.” (Sakura)

“The cooks and guards will stay in this room. I’ll be staying here.” (Shinobu)

“But the view is as good as on the third floor.” (Sakura)

It looked like Sakura may come too, but which one would she stay in? Would she be on the third floor, given King Suou’s attitude? Speaking of which, what’s going on with King Suou’s family?

The rooms on the second floor were not as spacious as those on the third floor, but there were more rooms, many of which were about six tatami mats in size.

After looking around upstairs, we went downstairs. There was no sign of Jubei-san or King Suou. It seems that they have gone back.

On the ground floor, there’s the cooking area and a warehouse. Naturally, the warehouse was empty. On the other hand, it would be a problem if there were a lot of stuff in there.

Also, there was a smaller hot spring on the first floor that was properly installed for the use of the servants. I knew that the hot spring upstairs was for the exclusive use of the royal family.

After completing a tour of the building, I decided on the room I would use and placed the bear gate there.

I thought about the warehouse, but it would be more convenient to have it on the third floor if I wanted to go to the hot springs.

“Then I think I’ll take this room as my room.” (Yuna)

I decided on one of the rooms on the third floor.

“This isn’t the largest room, you know? I thought you were going to take that one.” (Kagali)

“It’s big enough for me.” (Yuna)

The room size was more than ten tatami mats, enough for one person, and I have no plans to live here anyway.

“You can use the largest room, Kagali-san.” (Yuna)

It may have been King Suou’s room after all.

“You sure it’s okay? Then, I will be very grateful to use that room.” (Kagali)

I installed a bear gate by the wall.

“It’s strange to think that there’s another place connected to this door.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san uttered such a thing while looking at the bear gate.

“I remember that Kagali-sama was at Yuna-sama’s house over there. What kind of town was that place?” (Sakura)

Sakura casually asked. But Kagali-san couldn’t answer immediately.

“I haven’t actually seen it…….” (Kagali)

Kagali-san replied in a small voice.

“Kagali-san was so exhausted after the battle against Orochi that she was asleep for a long time.” (Yuna)

I felt a little sorry for her, so I helped her out. She was trying to focus on recovering her body, eating, and sleeping like an animal.

“Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry.” (Sakura)

“No, don’t worry about it. I exhausted my magic power and physical strength, and my mind was also tired. No amount of sleep was enough. And it was also because, for the first time in a long time, I could sleep peacefully. Moreover, I felt warm and safe in that house for some reason.” (Kagali)

Did she feel the magical power of the bear house?

“So, are you feeling better now?” (Sakura)

“I’m okay.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san laughed so as not to worry Sakura.

There is no problem, except that she can’t return to her original adult form.

“Next time, let’s take our time and see the sights.” (Kagali)

“I’d like to see it, too.” (Sakura)

“Okay then. I’ll give you a tour next time.” (Yuna)

“Really? I’m looking forward to it.” (Sakura)

While Sakura was smiling happily, Shinobu was looking at us. I slowly averted my eyes from her gaze.

“Why are you turning away from me?” (Shinobu)

“I’m not turning away.” (Yuna)

“Lies. You cannot deceive my eyes. I saw Yuna look away with my very own eyes.” (Shinobu)

“I won’t take Shinobu.” (Yuna)

“Wha, why?” (Shinou)

“Because you’re going to do something, aren’t you?” (Yuna)

“It’s terrible. It’s bullying. It’s cruelty. It’s discrimination.” (Shinobu)

Shinobu made a crying imitation, but I went through with it.

I don’t mind taking her with me, but I can already imagine seeing Shinobu laughing if I take her to my restaurant. So I’d rather not take her there.

While I was thinking about this, Kagali-san opened her mouth.

“Anyway, I’m hungry.” (Kagali)

Didn’t she say something earlier about not having to eat for a day or so?

Well, there’s plenty of food in the bear box. There’s also a kitchen, so we can cook.

Oh, but there’s a lake in front of us.

“Then let’s have a barbecue at that lake, shall we?” (Yuna)

I opened the window and looked at the lake.

I wanted to see the lake up close. I was going to go and check it later. But then I thought, barbecue by the lake.

As a former hikikomori, I have changed, and I’ll be barbecuing outside now. I guess it’s because I came to this world and traveled around a lot.

“A barbecue?” (Sakura)

“What’s that?” (Kagali)

“We’ll be grilling meat and vegetables outside and eating them together.” (Yuna)

“Oh, that sound’s good.” (Kagali)

“But what about the ingredients?” (Sakura)

“Well, we can have Shinobu go to town and get some. Now go.” (Kagali)

“Eh? By myself? Then why not have Yuna use her gate? It’s faster that way.” (Shinobu)

“I already have the ingredients.” (Yuna)

I have everything from ingredients to cooking utensils.

“I’d like to invite Ruimin-san and Fina-chan to join us. It would be a good idea to call them over before the meal.” (Sakura)

“You’re right. I’ll invite Ruimin and Fina.” (Yuna)

I took out my bearphone and let magical power flow and called Ruimin.

After a while, Ruimin’s voice could be heard over the bearphone.

‘Yuna-san?’

“Ruimin, have you had lunch?”

‘Not yet, but why are you asking?’

“Then we’re all having a meal together over here now, do you want to come over?”

‘Over there? Didn’t you go to the Land of Harmony to meet the King, Yuna-san? Well, I’d like to meet Sakura-chan, but I’m not having a meal with the king.’

Oh yeah, I did mention that when I told Ruimin that I would see King Suou. Did she just refuse?

“Ruimin-san, it’s okay. The talk with my uncle is over. We are the only ones to eat. So can you come?” (Sakura)

Sakura turned her face to the bearphone I was holding and spoke to Ruimin.

‘Sakura-chan!??’

“I would also like to talk to you. I plan to call Fina-chan, too.” (Sakura)

‘Fina-chan, too…… I understand. I’m on my way.’

“Oh, and when you come, please bring mushrooms.” (Yuna)

‘Mushrooms?’

“Yes, the best ones please.” (Yuna)

We need mushrooms for the barbecue. Since Ruimin is coming here, I’ll ask her to bring some.

‘Understood.’

“If you come near the bear gate, contact me.” (Yuna)

I hung up the call.

Next, I connected to Fina’s bearphone

‘Yuna-oneesan?’ (Fina)

“Is now a good time?” (Yuna)

‘Yes, it’s fine.’ (Fina)

‘Yuna-oneechan?’ (Shuri)

I also heard Shuri’s voice from the background. Apparently, they’re together.

“Have you eaten yet?” (Yuna)

‘No, not yet.’ (Fina)

“Then, can you come to my house now? I would like to eat together here.” (Yuna)

‘Ara, Yuna-chan, you’re taking my daughter out again?’ (Tirumina)

This time, I could hear Tirumina-san’s voice in the background.

“Tirumina-san? Yeah, I was thinking of having a meal with Fina. Can’t I?” (Yuna)

‘Fufu, that’s not the case. Of course, it’s okay.’ (Tirumina)

‘I want to go too!’ (Shuri)

I also hear Shuri’s voice.

I took my face away from the bearphone and asked everyone.

“Can Fina’s sister come?” (Yuna)

“I don’t mind, but does she know about your door?” (Kagali)

“Yeah, she knows.” (Yuna)

“If you’re fine with it, then I don’t have a problem with it.” (Kagali)

“Of course I’m fine with it too.” (Sakura)

“Me too.” (Shinobu)

I brought my face closer to the bearphone.

“Shuri is also good. By the way, Tirumina-san. They might be late to return today or they might stay at my house tonight, is that okay?” (Yuna)

‘It’s okay with me, I feel relieved if they’re with you, Yuna-chan. Of course, if my daughter becomes damaged goods, I’ll have you take responsibility.’ ‘Mom!’

I can hear a faint popping and tapping sounds from the other side of the bearphone call.

Perhaps Fina is hitting Tirumina-san.

‘Fufu. Well then, Yuna-chan, take care of them both.’ (Tirumina)

‘U~u, Yuna-oneesan, I’m coming.’ (Fina)

“Yes, I’ll be waiting. By the way, can you do me a favor and go to Anzu’s shop and get me some big clams, like turban shells. Enough for 7 people.” (Fina)

Since we’re here, we decided to grill and eat turban shells.

Okay, now we’re ready to go.

Then we welcomed Ruimin, who arrived first.

“Oh, Ruimin, take off your shoes.” (Yuna)

“Sorry~” (Ruimin)

Ruimin hastily took off her shoes.

By the way, wearing shoes was strictly forbidden in this mansion.

“Ano, so where are we?” (Ruimin)

Ruimin looked around the room, while holding her shoes.

“It’s a mansion that I got from the Land of Harmony’s King.” (Yuna)

“You got a mansion, Yuna-san?” (Ruimin)

“Well, it was his back-up plan because I refused his main reward. This is also to thank you too, Ruimin, so please enjoy your stay.” (Yuna)

Shortly after that, the bearphone rang and Fina arrived.

“Yuna-oneesan, where are we?” (Fina)

“This is a place called Land of Harmony. It’s a faraway country.” (Yuna)

Shuri was scurrying and looking around at the room and then at Kagali-san and the others.

“Are you Fina’s sister?” (Kagali)

“You’re a cute one.” (Shinobu)

“You look like Fina-chan.” (Sakura)

Shuri hid behind Fina.

“Who?” (Shuri)

“I am Kagali. Yuna is a friend of mine, and we fought against monsters together.”

Kagali-san introduces herself while puffing her chest out.

She’s not wrong, though. Shuri was surprised to hear that Kagali-san, who (is currently physically more petite than her), fought monsters.

“My name is Sakura. Yuna-sama saved my life.”

Sakura introduced herself politely, with her hands together in front of her, like a light bow.

“I’m Ruimin. I’m Yuna-san and Fina-chan’s friend.”

Ruimin introduced herself cheerfully and energetically.

Come to think of it, this was the first time Ruimin and Shuri have met, wasn’t it?

“I’m Shinobu. Yuna’s slave.”

In any case, I hit her.

“That hurts~!” (Shinobu)

“Shinobu is just an acquaintance, so don’t worry about her.” (Yuna)

“So terrible.” (Shinobu)

Who’s terrible?

“Shuri, say hello.” (Fina)

“I’m Shuri. I’m sister’s sister.” (Shuri)

She introduced herself while holding Fina’s hand.

“Yuna-oneechan……” (Shuri)

Shuri looked at me with a troubled expression.

Apparently, they were trying to figure out her relationship with me, but they had no idea. Indeed, it was difficult to explain the relationship between Shuri and me. From my point of view, her older sister saved my life?

But if I say that, Fina will get angry, so I won’t say it.

“So Yuna-oneesan. Are we eating here?” (Fina)

“We’re going to eat over there.” (Yuna)

I pointed out the window.

“U wa~a ~~” (Shuri)

“It’s amazing.” (Fina)

The two looked out the window as they leaned out to see the expansive view.

“Are we eating over there?” (Fina)

“Yes, it’s beautiful, isn’t it? Well, now that we’re all here, let’s go.” (Yuna)

We left the mansion and walked about 10 minutes towards the lake.

The hot spring scene would likely be a little further.

First, there will be a barbecue party at the lake.
