Chapter 86 Bear-san Explores The City

After filling my belly with a delicious dinner, the uncle led me to my room.

Since there were a lot of vacant rooms, he let me take the biggest single room for the price of a normal room.

I plunged into the large bed, took out the Bear Phone, and called Fina in Crimonia to tell her that I had arrived in Mireera.

Fina was relieved to hear that I arrived safely.

I didnt want to make Fina worried, so I didnt tell her about the Kraken, or the state of the city.

I just told her that I wouldnt be returning to town for a while.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, I saw a big white Manjuu and a big black Manjuu on my bed.

Taking a better look, they were Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that were sleeping on the bed curled in a ball shape.

I remembered that I summoned them yesterday as crime prevention.

A 15-year-old maiden was sleeping alone. This sort of precaution was necessary.

However, the bears were sleeping so soundly. Would they wake me up if something happened?

I trusted them though.

I petted the sleeping bears.

They did a little yawn before going back to their ball shape.

I returned them to gloves and got out of the bed.

I changed back to the Black Bear Suit from the White Bear Suit and descended to the first floor, where the dining room was.

How early. Well, food is prepared.

Macho brought out breakfast.

The food was so delicious that you would never believe that it was a muscled macho who made it.

At least his wife looked normal, and their children inherited her looks, not his.

Their son, who was older than me, was helping the inn and was also a fisherman.

It seemed that the fish offered by the inn were caught by the son, but because he couldnt go out to the sea, he was just helping the inn now.

Their daughter was around the same age as me (she was taller than me though), and she helped her mother do the cleaning, the laundry, and food preparations.

Looking at the two of them, I really thought it was great that they are not like the Macho.

They should thank their mother for her genes.

While I was taking my time to eat a delicious breakfast, Ranya-san came.

Yuna-chan, good morning. Did you sleep well?

Good morning. Thank you for taking me to this good inn, I slept really well.

I finished eating my breakfast so I left the inn.

So, where should we go first?

The sea first, I think. If there is a place that sells fish, I want to see that too.

There were no marketplaces now, though.

The Commerce Guild is managing the fish sales, so if you want to buy some, you will have to go there. It will be at an incredibly absurd price though.

Well, they were in a difficult position where they could just fish in the shallows, so it was absolutely normal for them to be pricey.

I had money so I could buy them, but after hearing what Ranya-san said before, I instinctively didnt want to buy them from the Commerce Guild.

And I want to go to the Adventurers Guild too.

I didnt want to fight with the Kraken, but I wanted some information about the bandits.

If I could defeat the bandits, the coastal road would be accessible again. If that happened, the minimum necessary goods would be able to enter the city, and there would be no more people who would try to use the mountain range.

By the way, where is Damon-san?

Damon went to distribute the food Yuna-chan gave us.

Is it okay? Will it be enough for all of you?

It will be okay for a while. We are exchanging the few ingredients we have amongst us, after all.

If you dont have enough, just tell me, okay?

After walking for awhile, the beach came into our view.

The sea spread infinitely from my point of view.

The blue sea, the infinite sea, the blue sky. It was a sea so calm that it was hard to imagine that the Kraken was there.

As I s.h.i.+fted my gaze to the left, I could see a lot of fishermens boats, anch.o.r.ed in the port.

I bet if the Kraken wasnt around, a lot of these boats would be out on the sea.

Is Ranya-sans boat here too?

Yes, it is, but right now, since we dont have the approval of the Commerce Guild, we arent able to move it.

Around where does the Kraken come out?

I pointed at the sea I was looking at.

I really couldnt imagine that, in this immense sea, this calm place, there was a Kraken.

Where you say? Its not only one place. All the boats that go too far from the sh.o.r.e are attacked. Sometimes, even if you fish near the sh.o.r.e, you can be attacked, so I cant really accurately say where it will appear.

For now, I had no methods of killing the Kraken.

I didnt have any ways to fight on the sea.

I couldnt fly in the sky, and I couldnt dive into the sea.

In the game, during the sea event, there was an item that enabled us to breath underwater. That was why you wouldnt die even if you fell from the boat, and you could attack as well.

If only it would come onto land, then I could fry it and make a giant grilled squid.

Well, just asking for the impossible would get me nowhere.

Even my omnipotent Bear Equipment couldnt help me fight on the sea.

Lets just pray that a rank S adventurer or the army would do something about it.

But with it being this calm, its hard to think a Kraken is there.

We walked along the coast, looking around.

We saw children on the nearby sandy beach.

They might be picking up manila clams.

It made me want to eat miso soup made of manila clams.

I started to really yearn for j.a.panese food.

Someone, please kill this Kraken.

I would pay, so could a S rank adventurer come, please?

WHile thinking something like that, I continued walking.

Next to the sandy beach, I could see a cliff.

After this cliff, the bandits appear, so be careful if you are going there.

Ranya-san warned me.

Would they attack me if I was walking on my own?

If that was the case, it would be less troublesome, since I wouldnt have to go and look for them.

After checking out the sea, she brought me to a secondhand shop and a weapon shop.

Finally, I asked her to show me where the Commerce Guild and the Adventurers Guild were and parted ways with her.

I decided to go to the Adventurers Guild alone.

I went there alone because I had learned from my past experiences.

The same thing happened every time when I first went to the Adventurers Guild. (All because of my clothes.

I couldnt bring Ranya-san to a place like this.

For such a reason, I came to the Adventurers Guild alone.

It was smaller than the Adventurers Guild in Crimonia.

Preparing for a brawl with the adventurers, I entered the guild.

As I entered, the gazes of all the adventurersdidnt turn to me.

n.o.body is here

Ara, thats not polite. I am here.

I turned to where the voice came from, and saw an exhibitionist there.

Emphasised b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Skin laid bare around the waist, and a mini skirt.

A girl was sitting on a chair, drinking alcohol.

Ara, why would a cute bear like you come to this Adventurers Guild?

This is the Adventurers Guild, right?

Had I gone to the wrong place and entered a place for adults?

Thats right.

It seemed that it was the right place.

Then, why would an exhibitionist be in this guild?

Ara, thats not nice. I am in my civilian clothes. It makes the men really happy.

She said that while tightening her chest.

It was a technique that the flat chested me couldnt do at all.

I will be able to do it in a few years though.

You say that it pleases the men, but there are no adventurers here.

Of course. Bear-san, didnt you hear about this citys affairs?

I heard that the city is troubled by the appearance of the Kraken and bandits. I also heard that all the high rank adventurers fled the city, escorting some of the citizens, and the only adventurers that remain are low rank ones.

Thats right for the most part. Only, the remaining adventurers are at the Commerce Guild.

Adventurers at the Commerce Guild?

Even if they are low ranked, they can hunt low ranked monsters or animals. And the Commerce Guild pays a lot to procure food, so the adventurers all went there.

I see, if they didnt sell it in the Adventurers Guild but rather in the Commerce Guild, they would make more money.

In the end, the adventurers chose money over big b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

I wouldnt say that out loud though.

The Adventurers Guild doesnt buy it at the same price?

Ara, are you tell me to do something like those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds did?

The woman glared at me.

For a second, I faltered under her gaze.

Fufu, it was a joke. Dont be so startled. So, Bear-san, why did you come to the Adventurers Guild?

I came here to get some information about the bandits who appeared on the coast and also the Kraken.

Ara, what will you do after hearing that? Will the missy defeat them?

Its impossible for me to defeat the Kraken, but depending on the information about the bandits, I plan on getting rid of them, yeah.

When I responded like that, the woman started laughing.

Fufu, ahahahahaha It has been awhile since I last laughed that hard. Bear missy doing a bandit extermination? There are some people that like little girls like you in the bandit group, you know. Do you know what would happen to you if they caught you?

I can do something as easy as bandit extermination, you know.

Ara, is that so. Then I wont say more than this. If you are caught, dont expect someone to come and save you.

The woman said, looking annoyed.

Bring out your guild card, then.

The woman went behind the counter of the guild.

You are?

Ah, now that I think about it, I didnt introduce myself. I am the master of the Adventurers Guild in this city, Atora.

Unexpectedly, the guild master was an exhibitionist.

Was there a shortage of capable people?

I gave my guild card to Atora-san.

Are there no other employees?

With the citys situation, the Adventurers Guild is not allowed to leisurely do as we please.

Werent you just drinking alcohol before, looking totally free?

The ones who know how to fight went to the mountain range to catch some food, and the ones who are somewhat strong went to nearby towns to negotiate for a dispatch of adventurers. The last ones went to dismantle the monsters and animals and distribute the food.

Distribute the food?

Yes, we have a food shortage after all. It affects a lot of the inhabitants of this city. We cant just let them die. We are helping as much as we can.

Contrary to her appearance, she was an excellent guild master who did all she could for the sake of the residents.

Still, that should have been the work of the mayor though.

What is the mayor doing?

He isnt doing anything. He fled after all, taking his entire wealth with him. The Commerce Guild controls the town now.

Mayor-san, thats no good.

Was it because his position wasnt appointed by the country, so he wouldnt be punished?

I didnt understand how the politics of this world worked, so it was useless to think about it.

Atora-san placed the guild card she received from me on a crystal board and operated it.

Rank D adventurer

Atora-san read out loud my guild rank.

This is

Squinting her eyes, she read the words that appeared on the crystal board.

Hero

The word leaked out from Atora-sans mouth.

Monsters Subjugation of Tigers Black Percentage of request completion 100%

She muttered with a voice so small that I couldnt understand all of it. Fragments of what I could hear made me understand that she was looking at the list of monsters that I had subjugated.

Atora-san froze at the sight of my completed subjugations.

What happened?

Ah, sorry about it. I was overwhelmed by the information I saw on your guild card.

The information on the guild card?

The hero of Erufanica, Tiger Wolf subjugation, Black Viper subjugation, completion rate of request is 100%, recommendation of the capitals guild master. And finally, the seal of His Majesty, the King of Erufanica is stamped on the guild card.

What is this thing about the hero of Erufanica? The recommendation of the guild master? The stamp of the King? This is the first time I have heard of those things.

Those are the t.i.tles given to the person who has been recognised for their exploits by the King and the capitals guild master. Missy, what did you do?

It seemed that they didnt write what I did.

I just exterminated some monsters.

Just exterminated some monsters Missy, do you even know how amazing this is?

There was no way I could. It had only been few months since I came to this world. I didnt know the common sense of this world at all.

And the Kings stamp. What did you do for him to stamp it in?

What is this about the Kings stamp?

Its the stamp the King reserves for adventurers or merchants he has the most trust in. They are given to the ones who had worked for the country and made really big achievements. Missy, you didnt lie about your age, did you?

I am a young girl, 15 years old.

I didnt know that they wrote something like that on my guild card. I would really like them to stop doing such things on their own accord.

Would this make a huge racket every time I went to a new guild?

Is it possible to erase this?

Wh, what are you saying!? Theres no way I would erase it, you know. Its the Kings seal, you know!

Its a real pain though.

Its okay. Those t.i.tles can be seen only by the guild masters, so if you just use it normally no one will be able to see it. And if you encounter a problem in a guild, you just have to show your card to a guild master and they will suddenly treat you really well, I bet.

Was it like the all important seal case used a long time ago?

(ED: seal case = inr)

But if the Guild Master starts talking about it to everyone, there is no meaning to it, is there?

The message of the capitals guild master states that it has to stay confidential, so its okay. If they talked, they would face a big punishment.

It seemed that they muzzled them well.

If it helped me when I was in trouble, I would readily accept it and use it in place of a seal case.

Strong adventurers are always welcome! I will say this again, but welcome to the city.

She presented her hand, so I took it into my Bear Hand.

Then Hero-san, I want to hear it from you directly, can you kill the Kraken?

Impossible. I have no methods of killing it. If it is in the sea, I have no means of attacking it.

I clearly stated that it was impossible.

I see, as I thought, its impossible.

She said, looking disappointed.

I would like you to not think that a 15 years old maiden could do a Kraken subjugation.

I will do something about the bandits though.

Thank you. Even if its just that, it will help us greatly.
