[Yuna-chan, I found you!] Mel

[Mel-san?] Yuna

Mel-san hugged me.

Senia-san looks at her with a stunned expression.

If you are watching, please stop her.

[Senia-san’s group also arrived.] Yuna

[Yup. We just arrived, then Mel told me she will go and look for Yuna.] Senia

[Because I promised to treat her for a meal.] Mel

I did made a promise, but I had that conversation with Jade-san. But I couldn’t see Jade-san and Toya.

[Where’s Jade-san and Toya?] Yuna

[They are reporting to the Adventurer’s Guild. We acted differently and searched for Yuna-chan.] Mel

[When I asked the person who was at the gate about Yuna, I he told me about an inn, so we went there. But the innkeeper said, there’s no girl dressed as a Bear came there, so we walked around the city to search. Yuna’s appearance is very obvious after all.] Senia

[That’s why, if we walked attentively, we will find people who will be talking about bears, so when I heard that a girl dressed as a Bear was walked pass through here, we followed the lead by listening to the people’s story.] Mel

Well, if you heard that a girl dressed as a Bear was walking around here, there is a 100% chance that I’m in this city. If this is Crimonia however, the odds are lower because the orphanage’s children are wearing Bear Uniforms.

[Ah, Yuna-san, who are they?] Karina

[They’re adventurers that I’m familiar with.] Yuna

I introduce Mel-san and Senia-san, to Karina and vice versa.

[The lord’s daughter?] Senia

[I’m Karina.] Karina

[Cute girl.] Mel

Mel-san praised Karina, making her cheeks red and got shy.

[Well then, since we are able to meet you, why don’t we all have tea together? Of course, Karina-chan included.] Mel

I can’t refuse her and she’s also inviting Karina. Me and Karina are being () around by the two.

We were taken to an inn by Mel-san. Maybe this is the inn where I should’ve been staying earlier. The first floor of the inn can be used for meals and breaks.

The reason they chose to take us here was, this is where Mel-san and the others were staying, so even if Jade-san found me first, he will definitely take me to this inn as well.

Mel-san ordered drinks from the clerk working at the inn.

[By the way, where is the inn you are staying at Yuna-chan? At first I thought it was this inn.] Mel

I was going to do that at first.

[I’m staying at this Karina house.] Yuna

[Karina-chan’s house? In other words, the house of the lord?] Senia

[The delivery destination was Karina’s house.] Yuna

[Speaking of which, Yuna-chan did say that she was delivering something.] Mel

[Yes, Yuna-san delivered something important. So she was asked stay at out home while she’s here in the city.] Karina

Karina explains the situation and hides the important parts.

[So, how long will Yuna-chan planning to stay in this city?] Mel

[Hmm, I received a job from the lord, so it’s going to be quite a while.] Yuna

[A job?] Senia

When I talked about my job, they looked very interested.

[The smell of money.] Senia

I don’t know if we can make a lot of money, but it’s definitely a tough job.

[Is that job, exclusively for Yuna-chan alone?] Mel

[No, it’s not like that. I think, the adventurer’s guild has the same request.] Yuna

This morning, Rasa-san told Balima-san that one of his servants had taken a letter to the Adventurer’s Guild. Rasa-san was supposed to bring it there, but due to the pudding making session, Balima-san seems to have taken care of it and asked other servants to do so.

[Is that right? Then, can we take it?] Mel

[Lord’s work. Surely it will be a lot of money.] Senia

[Really?] Karina

Karina stood up from her seat at the words of Mel-san and Senia-san.

[Karina-chan?] Senia

Two people are surprised at Karina who suddenly stood up.

I calm Karina down.

[I’m sorry.] Karina

Karina apologizes and sits down.

[That… really, can you really help me?] Karina

Karina asks them again.

[Of course, it depends on the job and the reward. If Yuna-chan participates, I think it would be cheaper.] Mel

[How much does Mel-san knows about the city?] Yuna

[I think something about the lake is running low on water?] Mel

The two explain that they didn’t know there were monsters gathering in the pyramid.

[A monster gathering in that pyramid? Perhaps the job is to defeat the monsters?] Senia

[There’s that too, but maybe finding something in the pyramid?] Karina

[Did you lose something?] Mel

I don’t know how far I can tell them, so I can’t talk more than that.

[But it’ll help if we defeat the monsters. Hey, Senia also think it’s good.] Mel

[It’s good.] Senia

[How can you decide so easily? Don’t you need to talk it over to Jade-san and Toya?] Yuna

[If they refuse, both of us will go with you.] Mel

Senia-san nodded at Mel-san’s words.

[Are you sure? There are so many monsters gathering. No other adventurer wants to take it. It’s a dangerous job, you know? ] Karina

Karina checks over and over again.

[Are there really so many?] Senia

[I haven’t confirmed it, but there seems to be a lot.] Yuna

The two were anxious but I tried to give an answer immediately.

[Well, if Yuna-chan’s with us, we’ll be fine.] Mel

[We might not even have a turn.] Senia

I don’t want people to rely on me that much. But in this world, there are some jobs right after defeating the monsters.

For example, you don’t want to take the whole worm back with you.

[Anou, is Yuna-san really amazing?] Karina

[Umu, there are rumors that I don’t usually believe in, but they all seems to be true.] Mel

[I don’t usually believe that a girl dressed as a bear is strong.] Senia

They’re just saying what they want to say, but it can’t be helped because it’s true.

[Both of you trust Yuna-san so much.] Karina

[Well, we’ve worked together not too long ago.] Senia

[Can I hear the story about Yuna-san?] Karina

Suddenly, Karina said something weird.

On the other hand, the two are smiling unpleasantly.

[Well then, let’s talk about the legend of Yuna-chan shall we?] Mel

[Yuna-san’s legend?] Karina

Karina’s eyes are sparkling brightly on Mel’s words.

More importantly, what the heck is that?

Yuna-chan’s legend….

I don’t remember making such a legend.

But I definitely have a bad feeling about this.

[Etto, Karina. Don’t we need to return soon? Mel-san too, I would like to thank you for accepting the request.] Yuna

If I can escape here its my win.

I tried to get up, but Mel-san and Senia-san grabbed the Bear Puppets on the table.

[Well, why are you grabbing me I wonder?] Yuna

[The girl said she wants to hear Yuna-chan’s story.] Mel

[There’s no escaping.] Senia

They will not let me escape.

I can shake it off.

[If Yuna-san doesn’t like it….. I’m sorry.] Karina

Karina looks sorry.

You don’t have to apologize for that.

If you show me such a face, I will not be able to refuse.

…..I gave up and sat down on the chair.

[But if you say something weird, we’ll leave.] Yuna

Then the story of my legend by Mel-san and Senia-san begins.

From the , to the . They didn’t say anything about the black viper as expected, but they enthusiastically talks about the .

[She beat a rock golem with a single punch.] Senia

[A Punch!?] Karina

[And then.…………] Mel

Karina is delighted with the conversation between Mel-san and Senia-san.

[And then our group and the other adventurers gave up the golem that Yuna-chan alone defeated.] Mel

Karina looks at me with an amazed look.

[I can’t believe that a girl dressed like this cute bear has defeated it.] Senia

[Yeah.] Mel

Yeah, she said…..

Well it can’t be helped. There is no one who can see through the power inside of me at first glance. But when they do, they get extremely terrified.

[Well then, I shall give the credits to you guys.] Yuna

[Is that so?] Mel

[I just don’t want to stand out.] Yuna

[Such a cool speech but its very unconvincing.] Senia

Senia-san cuts it.

I know that.

I just want to eliminate any elements that makes me stand out.

[And there’s even rumors about her defeating the Kraken.] Mel

[We’re not really there though.] Senia

Mel-san and Senia-san laughs.

[Oh, that’s true…] Karina

The moment Karina is about to say something, I closed her mouth since I’m sitting next to her. (TN: Oi no .)

[What’s wrong?] Senia

[Nothing… Hey, Karina.] Yuna

I looked at Karina’s eyes.

Karina nodded a little, as she understood what I wanted to say.

That would have been dangerous. That was close, the story about the Kraken nearly spread.

While everyone (except me) was having a fun conversation, I saw Jade-san and Toya coming in from the entrance. Jade-san seems to have noticed us and went here.

[You found it?] Jade

[We captured her where she’s taking a walk.] Mel

Oi don’t treat people like animals just because they were dressed as a Bear.

[Oh right. Jade, me and Senia decided to help Yuna-chan on her job.] Mel

[A job?] Jade

Mel-san explains the job details.

[Oh yeah, I saw that posted at the adventurer’s guild. The guild also asked us.] Jade

[Is that so?] Senia

[However, as Mel said, the number of monsters were very odd. So before I went here, I took a ride on the Ragaroot to scout and saw it.] Jade

I’ve seen it as well.

Well, it’s not that clearly.

But should I go to see it once more?

[That’s why it’s impossible, so I turned it down.] Jade

[Are there really that many?] Senia

[Yeah, I saw it from a distance, but I saw a lot of sand moving.] Jade

[Wolves are fine, but the worms are in the sand. But if Yuna participates, would you accept?] Senia

[If we have Yuna-chan, we can beat them just as before.] Mel

[But then, the amount is overwhelming, can we do it like before?] Jade

[Yuna-chan, is it okay?] Mel

[I don’t know how many are there. But it’s easy to get them out of the sand.] Yuna

[This is unusually troublesome.] Toya

[Well then, Toya. Run to the guild and take it alone.] Senia

[Me, alone? No way, let’s go together!] Toya

[Too troublesome.] Mel

[Good luck.] Senia

Negative words came out from the two.

Toya has a sad face. Jade-san taps Toya’s shoulder.

[I’m going with you.] Jade

[Jade….] Toya

[Well, it’s the role of leader.] Jade

[Everyone seems to trusts Yuna-san.] Karina

When Jade-san, who was reluctant at first, heard that I would be participating, realized that he was flowing in a direction he could accept.

[Well, I don’t usually believe in a girl dressed like a Bear.] Jade

Toya bangs his head.

[But I probably only believe in adventurers in the town of Crimonia.] Jade

[That’s right, when we come to the desert, we worked together to kill the worms.] Mel

[I acknowledge Yuna’s strength.] Senia

That strength is also due to the Bear Equipment.

[Thank you everyone.] Karina

Karina’s eyes were a little teary.

Mel was surprised to see it, but Karina immediately thanked them with a smile.

Author’s Note:

And that’s how Jade’s group joins, as expected.

Is it time to depart?
