Well, here we go, another chapter. Also, for anyone who’s following Master of the Brave, I just sent a chapter to the editor. I’ll get to work on TLing another chapter as soon as I get out of finals week. (empty promises)

Again, no guarantees sleepy me didn’t miss anything.

(TL note: more coming in an hour or so, to make up for the short chapters.)

Finished with the negotiations, Dogrude-san finally remembered he still had to give us the bracelet back. Sanysan immediately took various gemstones out from her item bag and placed them on the table. I didn't know how valuable they were, but Dogrude-san picked them up one by one to examine them. 「This should be enough.」 he said, and took a couple, returning the rest to Sanysan.

「Thank you for keeping your promise.」

「With this, I also kept my promise with Mirandsan, so I'm glad we were able to do it this way. Promises are very important to us merchants.」

Hearing Dogrude-san's words, Letobell-san laughed out loud, probably since he had said the same thing just earlier.

「Thank you, Yunchan. Without you, we wouldn't have even made it here in time, much less be able to procure the painting.」

It was thanks to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that we had gotten here so early. Had we gone by horse or carriage, we wouldn't even have reached the city yet.

「Please give your thanks to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear next time we ride them.」

「Of course.」

Finished with our task here, we now just had to return the bracelet to Ruimin. That way she would leave no regrets behind here, and we could head straight for the Elf Village. We thanked Dogrude-san and were about to head back to the inn when Letobell-san stopped us.

「Well then, Young Bear Lady, could you meet with my granddaughter now?」

「Right now?」

Wasn't this a bit to quick?

「I would like to see my granddaughter's smile as soon as possible.」

His face had "Don't run" written all over it. Well, I guess there was nothing for me to do once I got back to the inn anyway.

「Okay, I'm fine with going now.」

「Yunchan?」

「Sanysan, you can return to the inn first, so Ruimin can be at ease.」

We had spent a long time out here already, so she was probably already worried at this point.

「Will you be okay going by yourself?」

She asked, even though she should know that I can take care of myself by now. What could she possibly be worried about?
Well, I was happy she was worried about me, though.

「I'll be fine.」

「Well, if someone tries to pick a fight with you, don't fight them, okay?」

Oh, that was what she was worried about, huh. I couldn't promise her that, unfortunately. It was a habit I had picked up back in my gaming days. Still, I did choose who to fight and who not to, so she didn't have to worry that much.
I parted ways with Sanysan, who headed straight back to the inn, and got into Letobell-san's carriage to meet with his granddaughter by myself. The sky was still cloudy, but at least the rain had stopped, so the carriage moved quite smoothly. Rodis-san sat in the coach seat while Letobell-san and I sat inside.

「Your name is Yuna, right? Why do you wear an outfit like that?」

Everyone wondered about that, didn't they? I decided to just respond as usual.

「It’s a long story, you see.」

「I still find it hard to believe that you're an adventurer. Not to mention that you're rank C. You're stronger than most of the adventurers in this area.」

「It just happened by chance.」

I was sure he wouldn't believe me even if I had told him the truth, so I just made something up. I started thinking about it recently, but maybe it would be better if I just lived in peace so that my rank didn't go up any further? Or wait, maybe it was possible to demote my rank?

「I won’t probe too much into it if you aren't willing to share. I'll also let you know right now that you also don't want to hear about my life experiences up until now.」

There wasn't any deep reason behind not sharing it; I just didn’t want to talk about it. As for his end of the story…

「By the way, how old is your granddaughter, Letobell-san?」

Even though he asked me questions about myself, I had nothing to talk about, so I changed the topic to his granddaughter.

「She's turning five this year. She’s so cute! She looks just like her grandpa!」

Are you sure about the cute part? If she was similar to an old man, she could hardly be called cute, right? Had he said something like the bridge of her nose looks similar to his, that would be believable, but just saying she was cute and looked like him… Without me asking further, he then began to talk about just how cute his grandchild was. Hmm, I had changed the topic, but he was still annoying. If we didn't arrive at our destination soon, I would lose my mind on the way.

As I let his boasting go in through one ear and out the other, the carriage finally stopped. Thank god, we arrived before I lost it.

「Oh, we arrived already? There's still so much to talk about.」

It was okay, I had heard enough. We got off the carriage, and I finally noticed that we stopped in front of a tall building. It looked like it was about five storeys tall.

「The bottom part is my shop, and the top is my home.」

In other words, the entire building belonged to Letobell-san.

「Rodis, I leave the carriage to you.」

「Understood.」

Letobell-san proceeded to lead me up the stairs into his home.

「I'm sorry, but could you wait in here? I'll bring my granddaughter over.」

Letobell-san left me in a wide room, and rushed off to fetch his granddaughter. I decided to take a look around the room while I waited for them. The room was decorated with various paintings and vases, but I couldn't tell whether they were good or bad. Maybe it would be a good idea to decorate the Bear Houses with stuff like this. Hmm, would it maybe be better if I decorated them with bear-related things? I felt like Fina and Shuri would most likely like that better. In that case, should I draw some stuff myself to hang it up? Eh, I didn't really want to decorate my own place with my own drawings. Maybe I could get Fina and Shuri to draw something instead? As I keep checking the room, pondering on what to do, the door opened, and Letobell-san returned.

「Thank you for waiting.」

Hiding behind Letobell-san was a small girl. I took a look at her and thought to myself: yeah, they looked nothing alike.

Author's Notes:
At least they got back the bracelet successfully now.
These chapters have been quite short recently, but I will work on getting them back to normal soon.
