Chapter 303
303 Bear-san Proves Not Being Suspicious .
Sponsored Content
When I left the guild to chase the girl, I saw the girl walking with her head down .
I felt sorrow crawling from my back .
Her tiny body appears even smaller than normal .
For now, I don’t know what to do, so I’ll take a note of that for later .
Sometimes girls makes gestures with their hands in their eyes .
Perhaps to show they’re crying .
Unfortunately, I don’t have the necessary skills to talk to a crying girl .
If I talk to someone like Fina while crying, I can somehow be of help, but if she refuse, then there is no way to deal with it .
While I was being worried about how to call her, the girl suddenly stops and turns around .
[Why are you following me?] Karina
She noticed me!
The Bear Shoes does not make any sound like footsteps, so I shouldn’t be noticed .
Did you perhaps felt my presence?
The girl’s eyes appears to be slightly reddish .
She was crying after all .
[I see, you noticed that I was behind you . ] Yuna
[Are you stupid? Take a look around you, everyone are saying bear this, bear that, anyone will notice you after hearing that . ] Karina
I looked around…
Certainly, there are people around us looking at me and muttering the word [Bear] .
I was too focused on the girl and so I did not hear the voice around me .
Certainly, she will obviously become aware of me .
[So what do you want? Why are you following me?] Karina
[Um … yes . I came to see your father . ] Yuna
That was the first thing that came to my mind .
But that’s not wrong .
I am to meet Balimsan, the lord of this city .
In other words, this girl’s father .
[My father?] Karina
[I have something I need to hand over to Balimsan as a request . ] Yuna
It’s not a lie .
[Really?] Karina
The girl looks at me with doubtful eyes .
She’s probably wondering, why would a weird girl in a Bear Costume came to see her father?
Appearance is really important it seems .
[Is there anything that proves that?] Karina
May I show her His Highness’ letter?
If I show her the Royal Crest and she said she didn’t know what that is, then that would be it .
For now, as a proof, I showed the girl the envelope I received from the King .
The envelope has a wax seal that was used by the nobles from the manga .
The seal was engraved with the Royal Crest of Elfanica kingdom .
[This Crest… . . ] Karina

The girl was surprised to see the wax seal of the Elfanica Kingdom’s crest embedded on the envelope .
Somehow, it was good to know that they knew about the crest .
[Forgery of the royal crest is a felony . ] Karina
[Oi that’s real!] Yuna
[Even if it’s real, I don’t think the royal family will ask a woman like you dressed like a bear . ] Karina
Ugh, I can’t deny that .
Thinking about it, normally the credibility of a girl wearing a Bear Costume is low, even if she said that she’s working on behalf of the country .
This girl was even more cautious than I thought .
Weird, there shouldn’t be any elements for the Bear to watch out for .
This may be the strongest child I have ever met .
[What can I do for you to believe me?] Yuna
[Show me your guild card . I’ll believe it if you are a high ranking adventurer . ] Karina
[Well, how high does the rank you’re looking for?] Yuna
An A rank would be impossible .
[I want to say B or higher, but I believe it if you’re at least C rank . ] Karina
That’s good .
I took the guild card out of the Bear Box and showed it to her .
[Occupation Bear…] Karina
What part are you looking at?
[You’re looking at a different part . ] Yuna
The girl looks at the guild card again .
[Adventurer rank C!?] Karina
Yes, that’s where you should look .
[To forge a guild card…] Karina
[I did not!] Yuna
When I deny it, the girl smiles for the first time .
[Excuse me… I was joking… I already believed that Bear-san was an adventurer, from that time when you helped me . I knew that the opponent adventurer was trying to put all of his strength . You also protected me from behind . But I can’t believe that the person dressed as a bear is the messenger of Elfanica kingdom . ] Karina
[That’s right, if you read the contents of that letter, I’m very positive that you’ll believe me… . I think . ] Yuna
I am not informed of what is written in the letter .
But the King said that he had written it so that I could meet the lord .
So it should be fine .
[Okay then . I’ll believe in Bear-san . ] Karina
[Thank you . But please, stop with the Bear-san . You can just call me Yuna . ] Yuna
[Yes, Yunsan . ] Karina
Nice…
I’m a straight girl and so I sometimes ask the people not to do so, but there are still others who keeps calling me Bear-san .
Then the girl introduced herself once more .
[As you may already know, my name is Karina, I’m the daughter of the lord of the city . Thank you for your help earlier . ] Karina

She’s quite polite .
She seems to be well educated like Noa .
Like the children in the orphanage, children in this world are clever .
But I don’t want to become suspicious in any way nor do I want to run away .
After being trusted by Karina, I was taken to the lord, Karina’s father .
Today’s event was crazy, but finding the inn later is probably fine .
[Well, why are you dressed like that though?] Karina
[Because my occupation is a Bear . ] Yuna
When I was jokingly answer what was written on the guild card, Karina smiles .
[Fufu, Is there really such a job?] Karina
[Isn’t there?] Yuna
I’m not sure if that’s the case .
I only jokingly wrote it in the Adventurer’s Guild registration form, but Helen-san really applied it in the guild card .
, is what was floating in the back of my mind at that time .
However, this is also a story for laughter, I wonder if it will be fixed .
But then when it comes to my profession, I still can’t answer that properly .
I’m not a swordsman nor a wizard .
If I need to forcefully say it then, I’m a Bear .
I feel that there is not much different from then till now .
Well, it is going to stay this way for a while .
[Then, is Yunsan from the Capital City?] Karina
[Roughly, yes . But I’m living in Crimonia to be exact . It’s a city that is a bit far from the Royal Capital . ] Yuna
[Is that so?] Karina
[While I was in Crimonia, I got suddenly called by the King . Then I was forced to work . ] Yuna
Though, I wanted to come to the desert too, so I’m not really forced .
[And then, you were asked directly by His Majesty the King?] Karina
{That would be the case wasn’t it?] Yuna
Karina doesn’t seem to believe in my words, but she trust the crest on the letter and guild card shown earlier .
[Yunsan came from such a distant place, so far away . It’s amazing considering that you didn’t age in the process . ] Karina
I’m not aging?
It is a phrase that is worrying, but straight .
[No, It’s not like that . ] Yuna
Using the Bear Gate, I instantly arrive to the Royal Capital, then after that I just rode like the wind on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
[How old is Yunsan?] Karina
[I’m 15 . ] Yuna
[…………！？] Karina
Is it so surprising that I look like an adult?
[I thought it was a bit more lower . ] Karina

I guess not~ .
[How old is Karina?] Yuna
[I am 10 years old . ] Karina
She is the same age as Fina and Noa after all .
If she went to the same school, she might be in the same class as Noa .
But couldn’t she go because she’s not from that country?
[Karina is smart though . I didn’t thought you’re ten years old . ] Yuna
[I often hear that . ] Karina
What is this feeling of defeat piercing into my chest?
I feel like I’m losing though I should be having a conversation that seems to be different .
For the time being, lets mend my glass heart so that it does not break and then laugh it off with adult response .
And so I went to the lake near the house together with Karina while watching the cityscape .
I thought about it when I saw the lake from a distance, but it does lack water .
[The water seems a little scarce, wasn’t it?] Karina
Karina speaks as if she noticed me looking at the lake .
[Until about 20 days ago it was a flourishing lake, it was so vast that it’s overflowing with water . The water was magnificent and it was also a playground for children . I often played here with my friends . But now it’s forbidden to go into the lake . ] Karina
[Why is that?] Yuna
I guess it was the cause of the broken water stone .
But Karina is quietly looking at the lake without opening her mouth .
Then she slowly open her mouth .
[Because of my fault . ] Karina
[What do you mean?] Yuna
I got something different from what I was expecting .
[…………] Karina
To my question, Karina didn’t open her mouth .
However, it seems that Karina caused something, which resulted in the current lake .
Is that why you were seeking for adventurers?
But what does it mean that its Karina’s fault?
I’ve heard that the magic stone is broken, but I don’t think magic stones will break with only the power of a child and even if you drop it, the magic stone won’t easily crack .
So I don’t think it’s The responsibility of Karina .
But if it’s caused by magic stone, I don’t think hiring adventurers will solve this problem .
Well, I don’t really know .
Even if I ask Karina why, she doesn’t seem to answer .
If I ask her father, Balimsan, maybe he’ll tell me .
[Yunsan, let’s go to my house quickly . ] Karina
Then silently, me and Karina went to the lord’s residence .
Walking along the shores of the lake, a large mansion is visible from a distance .
[That’s my house . My father is also there . ] Karina
The appearance of the mansion doesn’t seem to be so different from ones in the royal capital .
When we arrive at the front of the mansion, a woman with brown skin around the age of 20 looks around .
Then, started running towards us when she saw us .
[Karinsama!] Rasa
The woman hugs Karina while calling her name .
[Rasa . ] Karina
[Where have you been! I was so worried . ] Rasa
[I’m sorry . ] Karina
After that, the woman embraces Karina strongly .
[That’s good . I was worried that you would have left the desert alone . ] Rasa
[I’m not going to do that kind of stupid thing . ] Karina
[It’s because Karinsama can do it . ] Rasa
[I just went to the Adventurer’s Guild . ] Karina
[Even so, you went alone . If you want to go, I’ll go in your stead . ] Rasa
[Wait, this is my responsibility . ] Karina
It seems that the woman was really worried about Karina .
The woman wipes her tears and looks at me .
[So, who is this pretty girl?] Rasa
[My father’s guest and I met her at the Adventurers Guild . ] Karina
[I’m Yuna, an adventurer . ] Yuna
I raise my hand carefully and give my greetings so as not to be suspicious .
The hand I raised is a Bear Puppet .
[Um, my name is Rasa . I’m the caretaker for Karinsama . ] Rasa
Rassan holds the Bear Puppet .
[Is Yunsan an adventurer?] Rasa
[It’s true, she showed me her guild card . ] Karina
Karina explained for me .
Also, Karina explained why I’m here .
She also talked about our meeting at the guild and why I came to see Balimsan .
[Are you the Master’s guest?] Rasa
I’m being looked at with suspicion .
[Rasa, its true . I also had the letter for my father . ] Karina
[If the young lady says so . ] Rasa
Apparently, somehow they believed me .
Without the King’s letter, it would have been very difficult .
[So, here we are, please head inside . ] Karina
And with that…
I was guided into the house .
