Once we got inside the commercial guild, we saw the counter was vacant, and there are only a few people in such a large room .
I went to the reception . The receptionist is working while facing down without noticing my presence .
[Ano~……] Yuna
[Oh yes! I’m sorry…… Bear-san!? And Karinsama?] Receptionist
When I called out, the receptionist raised her face and got dumbfounded . She was even more surprised to see me, than seeing Karina next to me . And she even made a stunning three-stage surprised expression .
The receptionist is a woman in her 20’s with brown hair .
The receptionist looks at my face and Karina alternately . There’s a appeared, floating above the receptionist’s head .
Well, you know what I mean .
However, I have no reason to answer that, so I will carry out my purpose of coming to the guild .
[I have something to ask, is it okay?] Yuna
[Um, yes . What would it be?] Receptionist
The receptionist nods while being confused .
I talked about wanting to purchase a small house and gave the letter of introduction I got from Balimsan . The receptionist looks at the letter of introduction that was given to her and repeatedly look at me, the letter, and Karina in a loop .
[Karinsama, this is…] Receptionist
[I’m sorry . I just came along with her, so I don’t know the contents of my father’s letter . ] Karina
Karina replies politely like the lord’s daughter should be .
[Etto, Yunsan right?] Receptionist
The receptionist spoke my name . Did Balimsan even mention my name in the letter?
[Yeah, that’s right, so I want a small house, but is there any available? I think I can afford it even if it is a little expensive . ] Yuna
There is no problem even if it is small since it’ll only have a Bear Gate in it . But the reply from the receptionist was very unexpected .
[No, no payment is required . ] Receptionist
[…………?] Yuna
This time, a appears on my head .
I don’t even understand what she’s saying . But the receptionist answered my question immediately .
[It says here in the letter, . ] Receptionist
What was that? I haven’t heard anything like that from Balimsan .

However, it may be possible after remembering Balimsan’s face and behavior . At first, he told me to stay at his home, but when I thought he was just thinking, he suddenly agreed to write a letter of introduction and let me buy a house .
Did I offend him because I refused his offer of gratitude?
[Etto, Karinsama I would like to confirm to you but is Bear… Yunsan connected to the Ishrit family?] Receptionist
[Yunsan is an important guest of the Ishrit family . I can guarantee it . ] Karina
After all of that, even if there was a letter of introduction, she still can’t trust it, huh?
Just because I’m a Bear!
[I understand . Then, can you please tell me your desired home?] Receptionist
The receptionist endured wanting to ask about my appearance and handled her job swiftly .
Many eyes have been staring at me everywhere . Words such as [A bear], [She’s a bear], and [Cute] can be heard from the merchants and guild staffs .
Karina turns her line of sight to those people and silenced them .
I told her not to use her authority . However, I have to thank Karina for being with me here .
I explained to the receptionist that it would be helpful if my house was nearby a store . It’s convenient if I want to go for a quick shopping if the store is just nearby .
When I told her that, Karina cuts into the conversation .
[I would like her house near my house . ] Karina
[Um, why?] Yuna
[The closer you are, the better!] Karina
Karina said strongly . I replied, [Y~yeah, sure . ] as Karina pushed herself to me .
The receptionist who saw that was laughing .
[I’ll look it up . Please wait a moment . ] Receptionist
When the receptionist checked the map, words like, , , , , and can be heard from her, then followed by a long <………> .
[Sorry for the wait . ] Receptionist
The receptionist spread the map and told us where Karina’s house was and the nearby streets where shops were lined up . There must have been a shop where I can buy spices somewhere along these streets . That could work .
Then she told us the locations of the candidate houses . They were all in the streets between the shops and Karina’s house . I’ve seen a few of the houses close to the shops on the street where I pointed my Bear Puppet .
[Right about here would be good, I think?] Yuna
[Right here!] Karina
On the contrary, Karina pointed at a house close to her house . Both of our opinions were divided .

[Why are you pointing over there?] Karina
[Because it’s closer to the store?] Yuna
[If that’s the case, this house isn’t so far away either, so there’s no problem!] Karina
[But if I want to go shopping, this one is more convenient!] Yuna
I and Karina look into each other’s eyes . Neither of us backed down .
I could back down, however… Somehow, it turned into a showdown .
[Ano~ what about here?] Receptionist
Watching us having a big showdown, the receptionist proposes a new option . The place suggested by the receptionist was a house in the middle of the area that I and Karina had pointed to .
[This house is relatively new, it’s close to Karinsama’s house and close to the shops as well . I think it fits both of your requests . ] Receptionist
I and Karina looked at each other again .
We nod at each other with a expression, face to face .
I and Karina accepted the proposal of the receptionist . Looking at us, the receptionist made a relieved expression . But, as expected, she is a staff member of the commercial guild, so she is also good at mediation .
Well, all I have to do is to check at the actual house and decide whether to buy it . If it doesn’t work, I’ll play at Karina’s house again .
We went to check the house together with the receptionist . Its location on the map was halfway along the street between Karina’s house and the shops .
I look at my house .
[Yeah, it’s nice . ] Yuna
It’s a small house, though it’s a two-story house .
[Isn’t it small?] Karina
[It’s enough because it’s only me who will be staying there . ] Yuna
There are no plans to come here in a large group . It’s fine even if I come here with Fina who knew about the Bear Gate . Even so, I can just go home without staying here . So I really don’t need a big house .
[Do you want to check inside?] Receptionist
[Yes, please . ] Yuna
The house is new and the interior is beautiful . But it’s a bit dusty and it needs cleaning .
The first floor has a kitchen, a dining room, a bath, and a toilet, also a small warehouse at the back . There are two rooms on the second floor .
Apparently, it looks like a house for newlyweds .
[Yeah, it’s decided . I’ll take it!] Yuna
[Ah, thank you very much . Then let’s head back to the guild to make the contract . ] Receptionist

We went back to the Commercial Guild .
[So, may I have your guild card?] Receptionist
Name: Yuna
Age: 15 years
Occupation: Bear
Adventurer Rank: C
Commercial Rank: E
She looked at my guild card and said .
[Occupation: Bear?] Receptionist
As always, why would everyone look at that?
[Yunsan is also a member of the commercial guild . ] Receptionist
[Well, I have some little businesses . So I’m paying with my money . ] Yuna
[As I said earlier, it’s okay because it will be covered by the Ishrit family according to Balimsama’s letter . ] Receptionist
[I will pay half . ] Yuna
Even before I heard about it, I had no intention of having Balimsan pay all of it . But if I pay it all, I would hurt Balimsan’s feelings . So I decided to pay half of it .
The receptionist seems to be confused at my words . Balimsan’s letter of the introduction states that . But I suddenly said that I’ll pay half . She doesn’t seem to know which of the instructions to take .
[Yunsan . It’s gratitude from my father . Please, accept it . ] Karina
[I can’t accept all of it . But I’ll take half because I can’t ignore Balimsan’s feelings . I won’t back down here even with the words of Karina and Balimsan . ] Yuna
[Yunsan……] Karina
I asked the receptionist about the purchase price of the house .
[But……] Receptionist
[I will talk to Balimsan . ] Yuna
[……I understand . ] Receptionist
The receptionist took a deep breath and accepted my words . I paid half of the amount presented and bought the house .
I can’t believe how much he wanted to thank me, he even wants to pay for the house .
Although, haven’t I received a house with picture books and stuffed animals before? Well, I couldn’t refuse at that time . Everything was modest .
After successfully paying, Karina and I went to the house that I just bought, to clean it . Although they did manage it, it’s still somewhat dirty .
[Yunsan, you really are wealthy . That Oneesan was really surprised by you . ] Karina
She was surprised that I paid half of the price of a house, even though I only paid half .
When I entered the house, I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to help with the cleaning . Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear wiped the floor with a rag .
(TN: Whew, for a second, I thought they were the rags . )
I want to borrow a cat’s paws for cleaning, so I decided to borrow the bear’s paws . Even if I say that they’re helping with cleaning, it feels like they’re just playing .
Well, I’ve been spending so much time with Karina, so I thought this time, I’ll also be spending it with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
[Hey, Karina will also help with the cleaning . ] Yuna
[Yes, of course . I will not lose to Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan . ] Karina
Back at the commercial guild, I tried to say good-bye to Karina because I was about to go and clean my house, but Karina said she would also help . At her home, they have maids . So I’m worried if such a lady can clean properly, I’ve never seen a lady who can be good at cleaning .
[…………] Yuna
And so, my worry was right on the target .
[Karina, Swaying Bear is there!] She almost trampled Swaying Bear .
[Karina, look out!] She hit her head against the door .
[Karina, watch your step!] She’s looking at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cleaning with a rag, she steps on her rag that was on the floor .
[Karina, watch out for the bucket . ] This time her clothes got stuck on a bucket of water and tripped .
[Uu, Yunsan, Hugging Bear-chan, I’m sorry…] Karina
Hugging Bear was splendidly soaked . The water splashed and hit Hugging Bear who’s right next to her . The water was dirty because it was being used to wash the rags . The white bear became a little darker .
Hugging Bear sadly cries .
Karina hurriedly tried to wipe Hugging Bear with the dirty rag she had in her hand, so I quickly stopped her .
[Hugging Bear is fine . Karina just continue to wipe the floor . ] Yuna
I unsummoned Hugging Bear and quickly summon it again . A beautiful Hugging Bear appears .
[Hugging Bear-chan has become beautiful!] Karina
[Karina is prohibited to clean near Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear!] Yuna
[Uu~u, but that’s…] Karina
Karina became gloomy and depressed .
If I don’t act like an Oni here, the damage will escalate even more .
And it goes without saying that I was very tired when we finished cleaning .
