Bear-san, Returned Home After Work

I left the village where spiders attacked and returned to the village where the Wolves and Tiger Wolf attacked. Then, I entered the village after returning Swaying Bear that I was riding.

This village had also been attacked by Wolf and Tiger Wolf a few hours earlier, so there were villagers who were dealing with the destroyed houses and fixing the fences.

As I walked to the village chief’s house, I saw a man standing in front of a house.

“Miss from that time!” (Villager)

The man in front of the house noticed me and ran up to me.

He was the one who came from the village attacked by spiders, asking for help.

“How is the village?” (Villager)

The man grabbed me by the shoulders.

Too close.

“The spiders that were attacking the village have been eliminated, so it’s okay.” (Yuna)

“Are you sure?” (Villager)

“You don’t believe me? I can’t just tell a lie that will be easily discovered, you know?” (Yuna)

“I see.” (Villager)

The man looked relieved and removed his hand from my shoulder.

“So everyone in the village is okay?” (Villager)

“Probably, I think so.” (Yuna)

By the time I got to the village, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that someone had been killed, but looking at the village, it didn’t look like anyone had died.

Deborane had let the village residents flee into their homes. I think that was a good first move.

I didn’t appreciate it, but many lives were saved thanks to Deborane and Lanz.

“At first I was worried when a girl dressed strangely like Miss told me that you were going to defeat the monsters, but the chief of this village was right, I guess.” (Villager)

“That’s why I told you not to worry.” (Village Chief)

The village chief spoke from behind the man.

He had come out of his house, perhaps noticing my return.

“Well, when you look at this young lady, I suppose you really won’t expect her to be able to fight monsters.” (Village Chief)

“Well, yes.” (Villager)

The village chief looked at me and nodded at the man’s words.

“But I told you the part about how she defeated Wolves and a Tiger Wolf, didn’t I?” (Village Chief)

“Yes, but…” (Villager)

The man looked at me again.

“Thank you so much, Miss.” (Villager)

The man scratched his head and thanked me shyly.

“Ask the village Chief of your village for the rest of the details.” (Yuna)

“Okay. So, about the request fee…” (Villager)

The man looked a little uncomfortable saying it.

He asked for help but had no money. It was like a scam.

“If it’s about the commission, you don’t have to worry about it.” (Yuna)

I think that was a bad choice for an adventurer by nature.

Adventurers put their lives on the line to fight and get paid. There might be people who would complain that “that adventurer didn’t take money” or “he helped us for free.”

But, despite the hypocrisy, I could not ask someone who didn’t have money to pay for my assistance.

In the first place, I was never in need of money, and my purpose was to enjoy another world, not to take money from those in need.

“But this is only one time. Next time, make sure you have the money ready before you make a request.” (Yuna)

I emphasize that this would be the only time.

If I didn’t make that clear, he might ask me again and again.

“I’m sorry. I can’t offer much hospitality, but if you are ever in the vicinity of the village, please drop by my place. Thank you so much.” (Villager)

The man bowed his head, thanked the village chief, and returned to his village.

After that, I told the village chief that I was leaving, then made my way back to the royal capital.

I rode the Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear back to the Royal Capital. All I had to do now was to report to the Adventurers’ Guild and then go home. We’ll probably make it back home before it gets dark.

“You’re back? And about the village? And the Tiger Wolf?” (Shreid)

When I arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild, I found someone waiting for me.

When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by the person who had come to the Adventurers’ Guild this morning to request my help in defeating the Tiger Wolf.

Apparently, he had been waiting for me at the Adventurers’ Guild ever since.

“Don’t worry. I took down the Tiger Wolf.” (Yuna)

I felt like I’ve said this line many times today.

“Are you sure?” (Shreid)

“It’s true. I have proof that I killed the Tiger Wolf.” (Yuna)

Unlike the spiders, the Tiger Wolf was recovered at Sanya-san’s request, so it’s easy for him to believe me.

“Tha, thank goodness.” (Shreid)

The man looked relieved.

He may have been anxious all by himself until I came back.

Good thing I came back early.

“Yuna-chan, welcome back!” (Sanya)

Sanya-san arrived.

Apparently, the receptionist saw me and called Sanya-san.

“Well, I guess I don’t have to ask how it went, do I?” (Sanya)

This one didn’t seem worried at all.

I think she should be slightly worried, but Sanya-san, who knew about the 10,000 monsters and Elf Village raid, would probably not worry so much about me defeating a Tiger Wolf.

“I’ve taken down Tiger Wolf. I have something else to report, though.” (Yuna)

“Another matter? Okay, let’s go to my room and talk about it. But first, we need to confirm that you have dealt with the Tiger Wolf and arrange for a reward.” (Sanya)

The man from the village also joined us to confirm that the Tiger Wolf had been killed.

After showing the Tiger Wolf, the man thanked me repeatedly and apologized for his outburst at the beginning.

After bowing his head, the man left the Adventurers’ Guild.

He would be returning to the village first thing tomorrow morning.

As promised, the Tiger Wolf carcasses were handed to the Adventurers’ Guild.

The guild staff member who came to pick up Tiger Wolf was surprised to see how clean it was.

In addition, they also wanted the Wolves, so I handed them over as well.

“So, what’s this other thing you want to report?” (Sanya)

I moved to the guild master’s room and told her about the spiders.

“A swarm of spiders and a king spider. Thank you, Yuna-chan. King spiders are nasty monsters, so I’m glad you were able to take them out early. If it hadn’t been for Yuna-chan, I don’t know how much damage would have been done.” (Sanya)

Well, Deborane did tell me to run away when we saw the King Spider. That indicated just how dangerous it was.

“Besides, I don’t even want to think about fighting in that guy’s hunting grounds.” (Sanya)

As with anything, there were places where one could fight to an advantage.

In our case, we fought in the village, so it was manageable.

If the other spiders, including the King Spider, were to fight together in a place where spiders specialize, it would be doubtful that we could defeat them.

That is, if they won’t allow me to burn the forest to the ground, turn a mountain bald, or attack without regard to the damage I might cause, then I would be able to defeat them.

“So the cause of this Wolf and Tiger Wolf case is that the spiders and king spiders entered their territory making the Wolves and Tiger Wolf that live there escape towards the village.” (Sanya)

Sanya-san checked the map.

The two villages were close together.

If so, maybe both Wolves and Tiger Wolf were victims.

“So, are you going to have a search party checking the forest?” (Yuna)

“I can put out a request for a small price. Then, depending on how much the village could add to the request fee, I will let adventurers decide whether to accept it or not.” (Sanya)

The Adventurers’ Guild would indicate the possibility of spiders in the forest, and then the adventurers would have to kill them and buy the materials.

If the amount were worth it, the adventurers would sometimes accept the request without any additional money from the village.

But in this case, it was okay because there was already a plan to sell the spider materials and use the money to pay for the request.

“Oh, and I think an adventurer named Deborane will bring the report and the spider materials, so please take care of that.” (Yuna)

“It is wasteful of you to give away all the materials, though.” (Sanya)

“I don’t like bugs.” (Yuna)

I could manage small spiders, but one the size of a Wolf is impossible. I did not want to touch or even look at it.

“Fufu, you don’t like bugs, Yuna-chan is acting like a cute little girl.” (Sanya)

“I am a girl.” (Yuna)

That was rude. Adorable or not, I was a girl.

“Just kidding. There are many female adventurers who dislike bugs, so it’s nothing to be ashamed of.” (Sanya)

Of course, some women also like bugs, so to each their own.

“By the way, what about you, Sanya-san?” (Yuna)

“I’m an Elf who grew up in the woods.” (Sanya)

“So you’re fine with that.” (Yuna)

Elves do live in the forest, after all.

“Fufu, If it’s big ones though, I can’t handle it as well.” (Sanya)

Despite the rejection, she still said it with a smug look on her face.

I doubt anyone could tolerate a bug of that size.

No one, male or female, ought to like those things.

When I think about it, Deborane was amazing at fighting the spiders, even though he was covered in their blood. And he even took care of the dismantling process, so let’s let bygones be bygones with our previous involvements at the Adventurers’ Guild. In the first place, I’d already forgotten about it.

“Well then, when this Deborane adventurer comes, I’ll talk to him and see what I can do with it.” (Sanya)

Leaving the rest to Sanya-san, I returned to my Bear House.

The Bear House made me feel at ease.

Although it was not the same as the Bear House in Crimonia, seeing my own house made me feel like I had come home.

And when I entered the house, Fina greeted me.

“Yuna Onee-chan, welcome home.” (Fina)

“I’m home.” (Yuna)

These “welcome home” and “I’m home” used to be a little embarrassing, but now they have become the norm.

I guess that was just because Fina was around my house more often.

“Yuna Nee-chan, welcome home~” (Shuri)

“Yuna-chan, welcome home!” (Tirumina)

Tirumina-san and Shuri also greeted me.

Having someone at home when I came home from work was nice.

Tirumina-san was preparing dinner, and Fina and Shuri set the plates on the table.

I tried to help, but everyone told me to sit down and wait for them to finish since I was tired after coming home from work.

I sat in a chair… it was as if I was a father coming home from work…

No, no, Fina’s father was Gentz-san. I am not that old, and of a different gender, so I would like to think that I am just a big sister coming home from work there.

Then we had dinner prepared by Tirumina-san and took a bath with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who had turned into cubs and given them honey, as promised.

They also slept together with me when I went to bed.

Shuri wanted to sleep with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but I asked her to be patient this time.

When I got into the futon and opened my arms, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear came into my arms.

I held Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in my arms.

Even if I dream that I was attacked by spiders, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear will help me. I would be able to sleep peacefully.

I promised to sleep with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but I was also worried about spiders, so I might have wanted to sleep with them.

And thanks to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, I didn’t suffer nightmares of being attacked by spiders.
