Chapter 562

Bear-san, Is Asked To Teach Magic

Misa was happy because Fina and Noa were pleased with their gifts.

After that, there were also other gifts presented to Fina and Noa. Incidentally, Cliff’s gift to Fina was a family invitation to a fine restaurant in Crimonia. He gave it to her, saying that it was an apology for this time and that he wanted her to enjoy some time with her family. Fina could not refuse and accepted it with a wry smile.

I know that behind Fina, Tirumina-san and Gentz-san also had indescribable facial expressions.

Well, it’s a restaurant invitation. I hope you enjoy it with the whole family.

Then, Gran-san tried to give her a necklace with jewelry, and everyone looked at her like she was dumbfounded. Since she couldn’t accept jewelry with stones, she had to decline. Cliff also interjected so she could say no, much to the relief of Fina, Tirumina-san, and Gentz-san.

“Old man Gran, at her age, I’d say you’d better think of something they’ll be more likely to receive.” (Cliff)

Hearing Cliff’s words, Gran-san looked dejected.

He also prepared one for Noa, but since Fina didn’t accept hers, Noa didn’t accept it either. So I felt a little sorry for Gran-san.

Well, this time, I can’t rescue Gran-san from his dilemma, so it can’t be helped.

Cliff advised, “You’d better learn to feel a little more like a commoner.”

I wonder about the invitation to a fancy restaurant. But still, my mind decided that it was better than jewelry.

I talked to Noa, who seemed to be enjoying herself.

“Too bad Eleanora-san and Shia couldn’t make it.” (Yuna)

I thought maybe they would come, but neither of them could. Eleanora-san has work to do, and Shia has to go to school, so they can’t easily come to Crimonia.

In a situation like this, I could have brought them here if I had told them about the bear gate. However, I was hesitant to tell Shia and Noa because if Eleanora-san knew about it, it would cause me a lot of trouble.

But then, should I tell Noa and take her to the capital instead? While I pondered that, Noa shook her head as if to disagree.

“I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss them, but Mother already gave me a birthday present. Besides, I was able to see her the other day when I went to the capital, so I’m fine. Plus, Mother has an important job.” (Noa)

She looked a little lonely, but her expression said she understood.

Perhaps they were absent last year or the year before, either.

Noa looked at the necklace around her neck.

As I recall, Eleanora-san gave it to her so she could learn magic, right?

Noa looked at the necklace and pondered for a moment. She then made up her mind about something and went over to Cliff.

“Father, I have a request.” (Noa)

“What is it?” (Cliff)

“I’m going to study magic, right? But is it okay if Yuna-san teaches me?” (Noa)

“Yuna?” “Me?”

Cliff’s gaze met mine.

“Father, you gave me permission to practice magic, right? But if possible, I would like to learn magic from Yuna-san.” (Noa)

“If Yuna teaches you magic, won’t your magic turn into a bear?” (Cliff)

“……”

Usually, I would laugh it off.

But I can’t because bear magic exists, and I’m actually using it.

“Well, with earth magic, it may be possible.” (Cliff)

Cliff arrived at his own conclusion.

That reminds me, he already knows about my bear earth magic.

But bear magic also has both fire and water. If you include bear claws, that’s wind magic, and there’s even electric bear.

Cliff looked at me, thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“If Yuna doesn’t mind, I’m fine with it.” (Cliff)

“Really! Yuna-san, please.” (Noa)

Noa grabbed my hand and pleaded.

“I don’t mind teaching you. But I’m self-taught, so I might not be able to teach you well.” (Yuna)

Once, I taught a rookie adventurer girl how to use magic, didn’t I? I’ve taught her how to increase her magic power and how to defeat monsters. But Noa has never used magic at all. Teaching someone who has never used magic would be a different story.

“For now, I’m studying the basic knowledge of magic. So I think it’s okay.” (Noa)

“Well, if it doesn’t work, we can just prepare a magic teacher.” (Cliff)

“That’s fine with me.” (Noa)

Noa looks happy when I agree. In the midst of all this, Fina looks like she wants to say something.

“Fina?” (Yuna)

“Ano, I also want to learn magic from Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)

When Fina opened her mouth, she looked at me and then at Tirumina-san.

“Mom, I don’t know if I can use magic, but can I study it?” (Fina)

“You’re not going to tell me you’re going to be an adventurer, are you?” (Tirumina)

Fina shakes her head.

“No, I won’t. But if I could use water magic, it would make my dismantling job much easier, and if I could use other magic, I could help everyone.” (Fina)

“Fina…” (Tirumina)

“Yuna-oneesan. I don’t have money, but I’ll do my best on my dismantling work. That’s why, please.” (Fina)

Tirumina-san started working, and she does dismantling work from time to time, but that’s for the orphanage or for the store. At Tirumina-san’s request, I don’t offer monetary compesation. However, I give her meat and other things as payment in kind.

But I am also building Fina’s savings and so on.

If Fina says she wants to go to the school in the royal capital, I’m thinking of giving it to her.

Well, I think that’s a long way off.

At any rate, I don’t intend to get money from Fina

“No, Noa, Fina, I don’t need money. But Fina, I need you to ask permission from Tirumina-san and Gentz-san.” (Yuna)

I don’t mind getting money from Cliff, though. Although I feel uncomfortable receiving money from Fina and Tirumina-san. That’s why it’s strange to get payment from Noa but not from Fina.

Above all, I can’t take money from Fina and Noa, whom I consider my own sisters.

And I didn’t get any money from the rookie adventurer girl.

“Mom, Dad?” (Fina)

Fina stares at Tirumina-san and Gentz-san and waits for a reply.

Tirumina-san lets out a small sigh.

“I get it. Do what you want.” (Tirumina)

“Yeah, but just don’t do anything dangerous.” (Gentz)

“Mom, Dad, thank you.” (Fina)

Fina has a big smile on her face.

“Good for you, Fina. Let’s study magic together.” (Noa)

“Yes!” (Fina)

Fina and Noa held each other’s hands.

Misa looked at them enviously.

“I envy both Noa-oneesama and Fina-chan. Grandfather, I want to practice magic too.” (Misa)

“Ask your father, for I cannot give you permission to do so.” (Gran)

Even though she’s his grandchild, he can’t just give her permission. If you think about it, that’s normally how it goes, she needs permission from her parents.

Misa looks at me as if asking for help, but I can’t help her because Gran-san is right on this one.

Incidentally, Shuri is also envious, but aside from Misa, Shuri isn’t old enough to use magic, so she has to give up on learning magic.

After the meal and the gifts, the adults are talking, so we move to the garden, at Noa’s request, to summon Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“Are you really going to ride like that?” (Yuna)

They are all still in their dresses.

“It’s not like they’re running around, and both Hugging Bear-chan and Swaying Bear-chan are clean, so we won’t get dirty. It’ll be fine.” (Misa)

“Ku~u ~ n”

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried, protesting that they were not dirty.

I know best that the newly summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are clean.

“Besides, getting dressed is troublesome.” (Noa)

After saying that, Noa hugged Swaying Bear.

“The stuffed animals felt good to the touch, but the real thing feels good too.” (Noa)

I’m not emphasizing that stuffed animals are fake, but the real ones are the best. The best thing about the real thing is that it’s warm. However, in the middle of summer, they get too hot. But the same can be said with stuffed animals.

“Yuna-san, can I get on?” (Noa)

“It’s fine, but don’t do anything that will really stain the dress.” (Yuna)

When I gave my permission, Noa and Misa happily climbed on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, while Fina took care not to get her dress dirty and held Shuri’s arm as she tried to run around some more. ｂ𝚎ｄｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

As for Fina, I think she wants to change her clothes. Especially now that we are here.

“You’ll get your dress dirty. You’d better change first.” (Yuna)

“It’ll be fine.” (Noa)

“But if you fall…” (Yuna)

“I’ll be fine. As long as I don’t fall down.” (Noa)

Noa and I had such an exchange.

“Come on, Fina and Shuri, get on.” (Noa)

Hearing those words, Shuri tried to run, but Fina grabbed her arm tightly.

“Shuri, you absolutely can’t run. You shouldn’t even fall down.” (Fina)

“Un, I know. I won’t fall.” (Shuri)

That‘s called raising a flag in my old world.

Both Fina and Shuri climbed on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, which Noa and Misa were also riding, and began their epic journey around the mansion.

In the end, they weren’t satisfied with one lap, so they did several laps.

I had tea with Lara-san, who came with us, and I spent my time relaxing while talking with Lara-san.

By the way, the flag was avoided, and no one soiled their dress.
