Chapter 51

Bear-san Departs for the Royal Capital

On the first day of the escort mission, I first stopped by Tirumina’s house to pick up Fina.

After that, we headed to the feudal lord’s manor to meet up with Noa.

"Big Sis Yuna, are you escorting Foschuroze-sama?"

Fina anxiously asked me.

"That’s right. Didn’t I say so?"

"This is the first I’ve heard of this! To meet Foschuroze-sama or the like…"

Fina’s complexion became rather pale.

Was the disparity between an aristocrat and a commoner in this world that large, like I had expected?

"You’re not going to be plucked and eaten, so it’s all right. Besides, the client who is supposed to be guarded is his daughter, Noa."

"Noire-sama, is it? Even so, for someone like me…"

Oh? Even though I’ve been calling her by her nickname, Noire’s name came out instead.

Were they acquainted to some extent?

"In any case, let’s go, alright? If it’s no good, I wonder if I should decline the request?"

"I-I understand!"

Fina followed along reluctantly.

When we reached the feudal lord’s manor, Noa was already waiting in front of the gate, standing with her hands on her hips in an imposing stance.

"You’re slow, Yuna-san!"

"If you thought so, wouldn’t it have been fine if you waited inside the house?"

"W-Well, when I thought that I could travel with the bear-sans, I got excited with anticipation and couldn’t endure it."

She said in a mildly embarrassed tone.

"Although I understand your reasoning, can I ask something?"

"What is it?"

"I also want to take this child along. Do you have any problems with that?"

I pointed to Fina, who was being timid next to me.

"Who is that girl?"

"The savior of my life…"

"T-That’s not it! I’m the one whose life was saved by Big Sis Yuna, geez!"

"So then, this girl is going to be coming along with us?"

"I wanted to get permission, just in case."

"It’s not particularly a problem. However, I won’t hand over bear-san!"

I could hear the crack of a whip in my head as she resolutely thrusted her finger at Fina.

"I was going to have the two of you ride on a bear."

"Then it cannot be helped. However, I won’t give up the front!"

"Is it necessary to greet Cliff?"

"It is fine. Father has given me permission to depart as soon as Yuna-san arrives."

"In that case, since permission was given, shall we depart for the Royal Capital?"

The three of us headed to the gate and left the town.

I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

I would be riding Hugging Bear today.

The other two got on Swaying Bear.
