Bear-san receives a Letter from a Summoned Bird

A few days have passed since the Huge Slime incident.

I have been holed up for the first time in a long time, and I had to stay indoors. However, I could not stay at home alone like in my former world.

Since I came to this world, more and more people have come to my house.

“Yuna Onee-chan, please watch over my magic training again, even if it’s just once in a while.”

Fina started to say such a thing, probably because of the Slime.

Fina asked earnestly, so I said, “Sure.”

It was nice to have more means to protect myself than anything else.

Then Noa came to visit me between studies.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. Over here.”

Noa played with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who had turned into cub-sized bears.

“I knew it, Bear-san is the best.”

Noa looked satisfied as she hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear as they approached her.

“Now I can study hard again.”

“Well then, I’m glad.”

Peace.

Then I heard from Tirumina-san that the store was doing well, and the director of the orphanage told me there were no problems with daily life, and I was left with nothing to do but relax.

I enjoyed my adventures, but spending time relaxing like this was also nice.

While I was lounging on the bed with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear squealed and looked out the window.

“What’s wrong?”

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear look out the window and see a large bird.

For a moment, they were surprised but soon realized it was Sanya-san’s summoning bird.

The bird was as large as an eagle, and when I opened the window, it entered the room and perched on the back of a chair.

Sanya-san, were you watching me?

Sanya-san could see things far away through the summoned bird’s eyes.

It was useful but also an ability that could be used for criminal activities.

If you put it that way, magic could be used for various crimes.

A kitchen knife could be used to make delicious food, but it could also be used as a weapon to stab a person.

As with anything, the power depends on the mind of the person who uses it.

I waved my hand in front of the bird, but it didn’t respond, as it was not supposed to be able to control the bird.

At any rate, as before, I looked at the bird’s neck and saw that a tube was strapped to it.

“It’s a message, right?”

I opened the lid of the tube attached to the summoned bird’s neck, and a curled-up piece of paper came out from inside.

“What is it? It’s not a problem, is it?”

I had a bad feeling about this, but I couldn’t help but look at it.

I unfold the rolled-up paper.

I knew it was from Sanya-san.

I thought it would be a hassle, but I was wrong.

It was more like a letter to Fina.

It said that once a year, the Adventurers’ Guild of the Royal Capital sponsored an event to compete in dismantling techniques.

The letter was a request for Fina to participate in the event.

I didn’t know there was such an event.

Maybe I should tell Fina about it.

“Kuh.”

The summoned bird chirps.

“Here, you can return now.”

“Kuh.”

The bird didn’t fly out the window.

“Are you waiting for a reply to your letter, by any chance?”

I couldn’t reply right away, so I just wrote what I would tell Fina on a piece of paper and put it inside the bird’s tube.

When the bird confirmed that the letter was inside the tube, it flew away from the window.

I closed the window and went to Fina’s house.

Fina was helping out at home, and Tirumina-san and Shuri had gone shopping.

And instead, there was an unusual person in the house, even though it was daytime. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

“Gentz-san, you were at home.”

“It’s my day off.”

As a matter of course, the Adventurers’ Guild was not closed on regular holidays. So it was a rotating day off.

“Yuna Onee-chan, have some tea.”

“Thank you.”

I drink the tea.

Yes, it was delicious.

“So, what happened today?”

I told him I had received a letter from Sanya-san and what it said.

“They have a dismantling…”

“Oh, I remember something like that.”

Gentz-san, who was listening to the conversation with me, interjects.

“Father, do you know about it?”

“Fina doesn’t know?”

“Yes.”

“Well, it’s an event sponsored by the Adventurers’ Guild in the Royal Capital. Besides, Fina has been a member of the guild until recently…”

Gentz-san seems to remember something about Fina in the past and closes his mouth.

Yes, I know. It was easy to forget because it was hard to imagine now, but not so long ago, Fina was busy living.

It was only natural that she didn’t know about events like that in King’s Landing.

“Dad, I’m happy now.”

Gentz-san smiled happily at Fina’s words.

“So, what are you going to do?”

The letter only said that there was a demolition event and that he wanted Fina to attend.

It did not say anything about the contents.

“Simply put, it’s a Dismantling Skills and knowledge competition. The main participants are adventurers and employees of the adventurers’ guild.”

“Have you ever participated in this event, Gentz-san?”

“No!”

No need to be so puffed up and proud.

“Well, basically, the Adventurers’ Guild in the Royal Capital will take the lead, so transportation and lodging will be at their own expense. There’s no merit in taking time off work to go.”

“So no one from the guilds in Crimonia will be participating?”

“No. I will be away from Crimonia for a few days. Besides, it’s just a festival organized by the royal capital, so we won’t get paid for dismantling.

It would certainly be hard not to get paid.

Given that, the benefits of participating from Crimonia were low.

“Besides, the staff can’t participate unless the guild master gives permission.”

“Really?”

“If we all joined, the Adventurers’ Guild would run out of staff.”

That was true. If every personnel from the Guild joined, there would be problems with the work of the Adventurers’ Guild.

“Besides, if the guild master gives permission, he’s like the guild’s representative in town.”

“So if I’m a representative of Crimonia?”

“That would be different. Fina is not a guild member, and according to Yuna, she will be introduced by the guild master of Royal Capital. Right?”

“Me, with an introduction from the guild master in the Royal Capital… Impossible!”

Fina shook her head.

“Just to confirm, are adventurers free to join?”

“Adventurers have freedom. What is it? Is Yuna going to be part of this? Did you get the ability to dismantle without us knowing about it?”

Gentz-san looked a little surprised, but there was no way I could dismantle the place.

“I don’t participate, I can’t dismantle, and I never will.”

“Yuna Onee-chan is fine with not being able to dismantle for the rest of her life.”

Fina raised her voice.

I wondered. Was it my imagination that it sounded like I should be a useless girl for the rest of my life?

“It’s okay. I’m not going to dismantle you for the rest of my life.”

“How is that that even possible for an adventurer?”

Gentz-san looked at me dismayed, but dismantling was impossible for a city girl.

I didn’t have the skills, knowledge, or experience to dismantle monsters, and that’s a triple whammy.

Even if I were to participate, I would probably fail the first round or fail the qualifying round.

I did not intend to participate, though.

“Fina, why don’t you participate?”

“…!”

“It would be a good experience.”

“…but…”

“Besides, Yuna is going with you, right?”

“Yes, I’ll go with you.”

If Fina would like to go, I would go with her.

Then I felt safe.

“But my mother…”

“You think Tirumina will stop me?”

Fina thought for a moment and shook her head.

“I bet, Fina, I don’t think she’ll let you go alone, but Tirumina’s trust in Yuna is very high.”

She was flattered but embarrassed to be told so clearly.

As I was talking with Fina and Gentz-san, the door opened.

“Oh my, Yuna-chan.”

“Yuna Nee-chan!”

Coming out of the door were Tirumina-san and Shuri, who had gone shopping.

“What’s wrong?”

“We were just talking about how Tirumina-san has a high level of trust in me, so I can let Fina go.”

When I replied, Fina said shyly, “No, I wasn’t!” Fina said shyly.

“And what were you talking about?”

Tirumina-san asked as she put away the items she had bought.

I told her about Sanya-san’s letter.

“So, if Yuna-chan goes with you, that means I’ll give you the green light…Gentz is right…there’s no better adventurer to trust than Yuna-chan.”

It was nice to know that they believed in me.

“Oh, but since you’re escorting her this time, I wonder if there’s a commission? I’d be happy to give you a discount on the friend price.”

“I don’t want your money.”

I had no intention of taking money from Fina and her family.

“But I’d like to see Fina’s courage too.”

“Me too!”

At Tirumina-san’s words, Shuri also raised her hand.

“Well then, Tirumina-san, would you like to go too?”

“Sure?”

“As long as there are no problems with my work.”

She knew about the bear’s transfer gate.

“Yes. I’m sure Liz-san and the others can take care of the eggs for a bit, and I’m sure we can get the store done ahead of time.”

“Okay then, me too.”

Hearing Tirumina-san’s story, Gentz-san expresses his willingness to go with them, but was rejected.

“Gentz-san must have caused trouble for everyone in the Adventurers’ Guild when he went to the sea.”

“Well, yes, but…”

“Besides, as the head of the family, I wish you the best of luck.”

Tirumina-san smiled at Gentz-san.

“Good luck, father.”

“Oh, okay.”

Shuri even said all he could do was nod.

Gentz-san, I feel sorry for you, but it was the husband’s role to be depended on by his family.

Above all, they can’t depend on me when I’m single, so maybe this would be a good thing for them.

As I am now, I might end up being single all my life.

From out of nowhere, I heard Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cooing.
