When we returned to the mansion, Rassan welcomed us .
[We’re back, Rasa . ] Karina
[Karinsama… you safely returned . ] Rasa
Rassan gently embraced Karina .
Well, if you think about it normally, of course she’s worried . That’s because a 10-year-old girl, along with some adventurers, went to a place crawling with monsters .
Seeing her being hugged like this, it felt like an older sister was very worried about her .
[Rasa, it’s painful . ] Karina
[I am very sorry . I was worried and very anxious when I heard the story from the adventurers who came back a while ago . ] Rasa
The adventurers who came back?
It’s probably Uragan’s party .
[It’s okay because everyone was with me . ] Karina
[But there were hundreds of worms, and there was also a big worm . I almost collapse when I heard the story . ] Rasa
It’s definitely Uragan’s party .
[Yup . But it’s okay because Yunsan defeated each and every of them . ] Karina
[Yes, it was okay because I heard that the adventurers cooperated and defeated them . ] Rasa
[It’s mostly thanks to Yunchan . ] Mel
Jade-san’s party members were laughing while listening to the conversation .
Certainly, Uragan’s party worked very hard to kill the worms that I dug . And the only one in his group that kept up with me was Uragan .
Uragan’s party was also very helpful by dismantling the countless number of worms .
[Yunsan was really cool! She killed such a big worm all by herself . ] Karina
Karina tried to express the size of the big worm by holding her hands wide open .
She also stretched her arms to imitate me, casting my magic .
Do I really look like that?
[Fufu, that’s amazing . ] Rasa
[A~~, Rasa . You don’t believe me? It’s true! I’m telling you . There was such a big worm!] Karina
[Fufu, I believe you . I heard from the adventurers . ] Rasa
[So why are you laughing!] Karina
I think that’s because Karina’s expression was so cute .
Karina puffs her cheeks to Rassan who’s smiling .
Jade-san, who was watching these two, called out apologetically .
[Karina, it’s about time we report to Balimsan right?] Jade

[I am very sorry . ] Rasa
[I’m sorry, Rasa, let’s talk later . ] Karina
Karina and Rassan both apologized, after noticing that they were talking to each other for too long .
[Yes, I’m looking forward to it . ] Rasa
We were guided by Rassan to the room where Balimsan is .
When we entered the room, Balimsan looked at us with a surprised look .
[Karina!?] Balima
[Father, I returned . ] Karina
When Karina entered the room, she was immediately approached by Balimsan .
[Karina, were you hurt anywhere?] Balima
Balimsan distorted his face in pain as he tried to hold his daughter while approaching her .
[Father!] Karina
[I’m alright . The scar just hurts a little . But more importantly, I can’t help but holding my precious daughter . ] Balima
[You’re injured, so don’t overdo it . Hold me when you’re fully healed . ] Karina
[Then we have to hurry it up and heal it . ] Balima
Balimsan gave up on holding her and just pet Karina’s head instead . Then, he turned his attention to us .
[I received a report from the adventurers who returned . I heard that you all killed a swarm of worms and a big worm in the desert . You even defeated the monsters around the pyramid, which was not in the contract . I don’t know how to thank you . Of course, I will add it separately from your reward, so please receive it . ] Balima
[Do…… . ] Yuna
Before I open my mouth, Jade-san obediently said, [Thank you] .
Toya suddenly said [Oh yeah! I can finally afford the Mithril Sword!] . Mel-san and Senisan were both happy as well .
That would have been dangerous . I almost said, [Don’t worry about it] .
Jade-san’s response is the response of a normal adventurer . It’s normal to receive a reward for what you’ve done .
If I was the only one who came here, I might have turned down the reward by saying, [Don’t worry about it] or [There was only a monster in my path] or something like that .
Anyway, I almost refused everyone’s additional reward .
[So I heard that a big scorpion appeared in the underground of the pyramid and there was something inside its body, is that true? Uragan-san and his colleagues have told me to listen to the details when you returned . ] Balima
He anxiously asked us .
Uragan and his crew’s information was only to the extent of what they heard from Jade-san’s party, so he has no choice but to ask us .
[Father, it’s true . But it’s okay now . The big Scorpion was defeated by Yunsan and the crystal plate was recovered . ] Karina
Karina took the crystal plate out of the item bag and gave it to Balimsan . He looks very happy when he received the crystal plate .

[That’s good . That is really good . Thank you, everyone . ] Balima
[Even if you say that, it’s Yunchan who defeated it alone . ] Mel
[We’re not very useful in that fight . ] Senia
When Balimsan thanked everyone, Mel-san and the others answered honestly . You don’t have to say that . Mel-san and the others were very helpful to me .
Karina seemed to notice and gave her support .
[It’s not like that . It’s true that Yunsan defeated the Scorpions, but Mel-san and Senisan protected me on both sides . Toysan protected me from behind . Jade-san defeated the monsters that appeared in the front . With everyone’s help, I was able to go to the underground of the pyramid with a peace of mind . ] Karina
[Fufu, thank you Karinchan . It made me happy when you said that . ] Mel
[It’s exactly what Karina says It was because of everyone’s help . I would like to thank everyone again . Thank you . We will prepare a small feast for dinner, so please eat with us . ] Balima
[Oh yeah!] Toya
Toya is very happy .
Mel-san elbowed Toya’s side .
[Thank you . ] Mel
Mel-san expressed gratitude on behalf of everyone .
[Then, please take a rest before the meal . ] Balima
Jade-san and others left the room .
[Karina… . ] Balima
Finally, when Karina and I tried to leave, Balimsan stoped Karina . Then, he approached her slowly .
[Father?] Karina
[Karina, you should have this . ] Balima
[But this is… . . ] Karina
[I’m sorry Karina, but I’ll need you to go to the Pyramid again . ] Balima
Well, that’s true .
Only Karina and her mother, Ristil-san, can use the crystal plate . It’s impossible for Ristil-san, who has a baby in her stomach . So, Karina who can use the power of the crystal plate is needed .
However, what I am concerned about is the possibility that I can also use it .
When I remembered that time at the sacred tree of the Elven Village, I wonder if it could be used by me . However, I can’t give it a try just like that . If the crystal plate reacts to me and it is found that I can use it, it will be very troublesome .
Karina stared at the crystal plate .
Then slowly extend her hand to the crystal plate .
[Father… I understand . You can leave it to me . ] Karina
Karina received the crystal plate with great care .

[Yunsan, I leave my daughter to you . ] Balima
Balimsan bowed a little .
We went to the designated room until it’s time for dinner .
Uragan’s party and the other adventurers were there . Each of them was either sitting on a sofa or a chair and relaxing .
One of them was kinda frightened and muttering the bear is back .
Hey, I’m not doing anything, right?
[It looks like you’re back safely . ] Uragan
[I have just reported to Balimsan . So Uragan and the others are here . ] Yuna
[When I returned to make my report, I was told to rest in this room . So I was asked to go and check on you if you didn’t come back . ] Uragan
Certainly, he needed insurance when his daughter didn’t come home .
Uragan’s party who knew the reason were quicker to ask, than going to the Adventurer’s Guild .
[So you killed the big Scorpion that Jade’s party were talking about?] Uragan
[Of course, Yunchan defeated it . ] Mel
Uragan asked me, but for some reason, Mel-san replied with pity in her eyes as if he had fallen to the abyss .
Well, it’s okay, though .
[Is it just as rumored?] Uragan
[As rumored?] Yuna
[A story about you . ] Uragan
It’s fine that you’re telling stories to others, but I’m really worried about the content of the rumors that you’re spreading .
Well, I’m sure the rumors were just about the bears, bears, and bears .
[Oh right . It’s Yuna’s request, but can you all keep the fact that Yuna killed a big Scorpion, a secret?] Jade
Jade-san asked them for me .
[But why?] Uragan
[She doesn’t want to stand out . ] Jade
Everyone’s gaze turned to me .
Yeah, I know what you mean . I really understand what you mean .
However, there is a big difference between standing out because of Bear-san’s appearance and standing out by killing a big monster .
If rumor spreads, the troublesome work will surely come .
It’ll be a pain .
It’s good to stake your neck for yourself, but it’ll a pain to be troubled by it .
[Ahahahahahaha . ] Uragan
You don’t have to laugh that much .
Uragan laughed at me . Along with that, his party members also laughed .
Except for one…
Yea, that one adventurer who always gets terrified whenever he sees me .
[Everybody, stop laughing! Stop making fun of that bear!] Man
The man tried to stop their laugh .
[Oh, yes, yes, of course . We’ll stop laughing at you as well . Even so, I wonder if you also pummeled him before… You really are one ridiculous girl . I’m fine with keeping silent about it . ] Uragan
[Really?] Yuna
[Oh, just show me that Scorpion . I’m an adventurer, too . I’ve never seen a Scorpion so big that made Jade’s party ran away . ] Uragan
[We didn’t run away . we just followed Yunchan’s words . ] Mel
[It’s the same thing . ] Uragan
[………] Mel
[If she really defeated such a big monster, I’d love to see it as an adventurer . ] Uragan
It’s a subtle deal .
If I don’t show it to him, he’ll go and tell others . (Well, most of them won’t believe it even when he says it . But if the adventurers from Crimonia knew about it, it may be recognized as true . )
But I think it’s better to show it and make him promise to shut up than to say something like .
When I look at Jade-san’s party, they don’t try to get their mouths in the way .
This seems to be up to my judgment .
[Fine then . I’ll show you, so shut up . If you talk about this to anyone, you’ll be like that guy . ] Yuna
Though I don’t remember him at all, I point a finger at the adventurer who was scared of me .
The adventurer who was scared replied,
Still, was he one of those whom I’ve beaten up when I first came to Crimonia?
To be clear, I don’t remember any other faces except Deborane .
[Oh, okay then . I promise . Everyone promised as well . ] Uragan
When Uragan replied, the other adventurers’ nod as well .
[But where can I show it?] Yuna
The Scorpion is too big .
And I don’t want outsiders to see it .
Then, the place where the Scorpion will be put out is limited .
[In that case, the backyard is wide, so it’s okay . ] Karina
Karina, who was silently listening, suggested .
