Chapter 192 – Bear-san And The Chefs Visit Town
There were many people opposed to placing the Iron Golem at the entrance as Gran-san was thinking about doing .
「Father, please don’t put it at the entrance . People who see it will be scared . 」
「Isn’t that fine?」
「No, it is not . If you’ll insist on putting it at the entrance, I will tell Yunsan to take it home with her . 」
As more and more people objected, Gran-san had to reluctantly give up on putting it at the entrance .
After talking it out for a bit longer, they decided to place the Iron Golem in the middle of the hall on the second floor .
It was not a place guests visited often, but if Gran-san ever wanted to show it off, he just needed to bring them there .
Everybody agreed that this was the best solution, and for some reason, I ended up being the one who had to set it up there .
「We can’t move such a heavy object that easily . 」
They told me . Since I didn’t have any other choice, I put all the golems back into the Bear Box and went upstairs to the hall, where I set the tough-looking one up at a place they pointed out to me .
Yeah, it did look good up here in the hall .
It was made of good quality iron, so unlike the Earth Golem, it looked elegant, and not too brittle .
It made me want to line up a Silver Golem and Gold Golem next to it .
There was also the Fake Mithril Golem I had, so maybe I could put it next to them as well .
Oh, but if we were only decorating, maybe just coating the surface of iron golems would be enough, too .
Now that the party was over, and the golem had securely been set up, I returned to my room, where I quickly took off the dress and put my Bear Suit back on .
I definitely couldn’t stay calm without my Bear Suit on . Knowing that I now thought this way made me a bit concerned, especially since I used to be so embarrassed to walk around in it .
Perhaps the Bear Suit was cursed after all, seeing how I missed wearing it so much .
Well, usually cursed equipment couldn’t be removed . Instead, the Bear Suit spoiled me and made me completely dependent on it .
Now that I had changed back into the Bear Suit, I went to find Noa to ask her what I should do with the dress .
I wanted to wash it first before returning it, but I didn’t know how to wash dresses . I didn’t think they had laundromats in this world, but I honestly wouldn’t know of one even if they did since I never had to wash my Bear Suit .
When I told Noa I was returning the dress to her, she replied in an unexpected way .
「Yunsan, you can keep the dress . 」
There was no way I could accept an expensive dress just like that .
「I can’t take it . 」
「No, it’s a trade . I will trade you that dress for the Bear-san plushies . I want the full set, okay?」
Oh, she intended for it to be a trade .
Since she already did her side of
the trade, that meant I had no other choice but to really bring her a set of the Bear plushies .
I didn’t mind giving them to her, but how many chances would I get to wear this dress again?
「I will let Fina keep her dress as well, so I hope I can get my hands on those plushies soon . 」
Fina tried her best to refuse, but Noa wouldn’t budge at all .
「Even if I take the dress, I won’t have any opportunities to wear it again . 」
「Fina, you went to Misa’s party, but you aren’t planning on coming to mine?」
「Well, that’s…」
「You will come, right? Then, please wear the dress to my party . If it won’t fit you anymore, just let me know, and I will get it fixed . 」
Fina lost all chances of getting out of it, so she accepted the dress reluctantly .
Did that mean I had to attend Noa’s party as well?
The next day, Cliff and Eleanorsan came to our room early in the morning .
To put it simply, they wanted to talk about the plans going forward .
Cliff planned on staying for three more days and told us to do what we want till then .
Eleanorsan also planned to wrap up her task quickly, so she could accompany us .
「If Noa is leaving in three days, then I guess I should also finish things up by then . 」
Eleanorsan, could you please do your job properly… .
In the end, it was decided that we would all be leaving in three days time .
「Well then, I’m heading out now . 」
「Stay safe . 」
The girls saw me as I headed out alone .
Today, I would be doing my own thing without the girls tagging along .
Misa had promised to show Fina and Noa her garden flower bed . She had invited me to come and see it too, but I had declined so that I could go and check out the specialities of this town .
At the mansion entrance, I ran into Zelef-san and Botts-san .
「Yundono, are you heading out?」
「Yes, I am . And you two?」
「We are going out as well . Botts is going to show me around town . 」
「Are you going out alone today, Young Bear Lady?」
「Misa is showing the other two girls her garden flower bed, so I decided to go out and look around town on my own . 」
「Why don’t we walk together then, Yundono?」
「Oi, Zelef . You plan on walking around with a young girl dressed like a bear?!」
I was aware that I was a bear, but… He didn’t have to point it out .
It had been a while since somebody reacted to me like that .
「Still, why are you always dressed like this? Your outfit yesterday made you look more normal even though I can’t really say the same for your personality . 」
「I think you should be able to tell seeing what I could do yesterday . My Bear Suit comes with many useful gadgets, like the Bear Gloves, which are an item bag and a home to my Bears . 」
I gave him a vague explanation .
「True, you did bring out a massive Iron Golem yesterday . You were also able to store all of the ingredients needed for the party by yourself . 」
「Botts, didn’t you want to do something to thank Yundono? Why don’t you show her around as well?」
Do
well?」
Do something to thank me? Was there something I did that Botts-san was supposed to be thankful for?
「Fine, I get it . Where does the Young Bear Lady want to go?」
「Oh, I want to taste the town’s specialties, and if there’s time, I also want to check out your Adventurer’s Guild . 」
「Now that you mention it, are you really an adventurer? Zelef told me you are, but I still find it hard to believe . You being a chef makes more sense to me… . 」
Well, with my Bear Suit, I hardly looked like an adventurer .
「Eh, whatever . It doesn’t really matter . After checking out the specialties, I will also take you to the Adventurer’s Guild . 」
There was no reason for him to refuse, especially since the Adventurer’s Guild was close to the market area . If they didn’t feel like accompanying me there, we could just split up at the marketplace .
Zelef-san, Botts-san, and I . This very unusual group headed out towards the town center .
「Young Bear Lady, I want to thank you for bringing Zelef here in our time of need . Thanks to you, the Salbert family had no other choice but to flee . 」
Botts-san thanked me again . So, that was what Zelef-san was talking about when he mentioned that Botts-san wanted to thank me…
I hadn’t been there to see what happened at the party in person, but based on what everybody had told me, the Salbert family had been quite unbelievable .
「By the way, Yundono, where did you learn to cook? Zelef told me that you know how to make many delicious dishes that can compare to pudding and whipped cream . 」
「Botts, you promised me not to ask Yundono about that . 」
「I did, but as a chef, I’m still very curious about it . 」
「I understand how you feel, but a promise is a promise . 」
「Zelef, she showed you some of those recipes, didn’t she?」
「Yes, Yundono taught me many delicious recipes . 」
For some reason, Zelef-san almost sounded like he was boasting .
If Botts-san had asked me why I had taught him, I would tell him it was all for Princess Flora’s sake . I wanted her to be able to eat whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, so I had taught Zelef-san how to make some of the things she liked .
However, Botts-san didn’t seem to know about it and was quite upset with this treatment .
As we walked towards the town center, he continued to ask me about the pudding and cake I had made .
「You’re opening a shop in the capital?」
「Yes . Not many people there know about Yundono’s cooking, so we will be opening a shop that will serve her recipes at the capital . The shop will be supervised by me since everybody working there will be taught her precious recipes . Now that I think about it, Botts, why don’t you come work at the shop as well?」
「I’m sorry, but I still owe a lot to Gran-sama . I can’t leave until I have repaid his favor . 」
Despite what he looked like, Botts-san was actually quite a level-headed fellow .
「Do you want me to teach you?」
「You would?!」
「I don’t really mind, but you must promise me something . 」
「Promise what?」
「You cannot reveal the recipes to anybody . I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to open up a shop yourself, but please wait a while
a while before doing that . 」
「Wait a while? How long would that be…?」
「Maybe until everything calms down with the capital’s shop opening? I would have to discuss it with Zelef-san first . 」
「That would make Botts your second branch, huh?」
「I don’t have the money to open up a shop anyway, so you don’t have to worry about me opening one for my own gain . I promise I will keep the recipes a secret, too . I will even sign a contract if I have to . 」
「I don’t need you to sign a contract, but there is one very important thing I want you to make sure to keep in mind . 」
「There’s something even more important than keeping the recipes a secret?」
Don’t spread the recipes, and don’t make your own store . There was something even more important than those two things .
「Ah, I know what it is . It is indeed very important, considering that you are cooking for Gran-dono’s family . 」
Zelef-san realized what the most important thing was, it seemed .
「Zelef, you know what it is?」
「Yes . I also had to make a similar promise when she taught me . 」
「There’s something that important…」
「Yeah, there is . I want you to promise me this: Even if Misa wants to eat it, do not make it for her every day . Especially, in the case of things like cake, which has a lot of sugar . She can only have one per week, two at most . 」
That was one promise he must not break .
We couldn’t let a cute girl like her get fat . Not to mention that eating too many sweets would be bad for her health .
「That’s such a trivial matter…」
「No, it’s not . It’s a very important thing for girls . If Misa can’t get married because she’s fat, it will be your fault, Botts-san . 」
「Ugh, I guess it is quite important when you put it that way…」
「Botts-san, I don’t know how long you plan on working for Gran-san, but please keep an eye on everybody’s eating habits . Even if Misa wants to eat something every day, make sure she eats other foods as well . 」
「I also promised not to cook the same thing for Princess Flora all the time . 」
「I understand . I promise that even if Misansama asks me to make something for her, I will make sure not to cook it for her every day . 」
Zelef-san then told me he could teach Botts-san the recipes in my stead as he would be staying here for a while longer .
Just as we were finished with our conversation, we reached an area that looked like a marketplace and proceeded to take a look around .
「We were getting stared at while coming here, but even more people are staring at us now that we’re in a crowded area . 」
True, there were many shoppers and shop owners staring at us .
I even heard a few of them whisper “Bear” .
Well, as usual, I just ignored it as long as nobody approached me or tried to touch my suit, of course .
Anyway, since Botts-san would now get to learn the recipes, he didn’t try to complain about it anymore . Instead, he guided us to many different shops like he didn’t have a choice .
The shops here more or less just sold the same thing that could be found
could be found in Crimonia . Hmm, Sheelin wasn’t far from Crimonia, so maybe I would have to head to a place with a different climate to get different ingredients .
From time to time, I saw things that didn’t exist in my former world, so I asked the two ingredient experts about it .
「That fruit is sour and sweet . It can be used as a substitute for strawberries . 」
「True, but it might be more suitable for adults . 」
「Well, that one is just very sweet, so it would go very well with your cake . 」
Mhm, I could learn a lot from this .
「Mister! Give me an entire box of that fruit!」
「Yundono?」
「I don’t know if I can get them in Crimonia, and even if I could, this saves me the trouble of having to search for them there . 」
「I understand that, but aren’t you buying a bit too much?」
「I’m going to give them to the children at the orphanage as souvenirs . 」
「The orphanage?」
Oh, I had never told them about it before .
「I’m sort of a part of the orphanage’s management in Crimonia, so I thought I’d bring the children there some souvenirs . 」
「You’re doing something like that, too?」
Botts-san said, surprised .
「Well, things just ended up that way . 」
「Young lady, are you from some noble family?」
「No, I’m just a normal person . 」
「Normal, you say…」
He said, looking at me suspiciously .
Back in my old world, I had been a normal person, so I wasn’t really lying .
The shop owner also wore a shocked expression as I paid for the fruit . I couldn’t blame him for being surprised since he most likely had never had anyone buy this much of it at once .
It was definitely not because of my outfit .
We then continued making our way around the marketplace and bought everything we wanted .
Since Botts-san wanted to learn the cake and pudding recipes as soon as he could, I suggested they headed back first, and Zelef-san agreed .
「What will you do now, Yundono?」
「I’ll head back after dropping by the Adventurer’s Guild . Botts-san, Zelef-san, thank you for your time . I learned a lot today . 」
「I’m glad to hear that . Next time you come to the capital, I will take you to a few shops that sell some less-known ingredients . They sell ingredients from many different places, so I’m sure you will find something interesting there . 」
Really? That would be great .
After making the promise with Zelef-san, we parted ways, and I headed to the Adventurer’s Guild on my own .
Based on what Botts-san had told me, it should be pretty close .
As I looked around aimlessly, something suddenly started ringing .
「Kuun, kuun, kuun . 」
It was coming from my White Bear Hand .
It took me a couple of seconds to realize that my Bear Phone was responsible for the noise then
I quickly took it out of the Bear Box to answer .
「Hello?」
『B-Big Sis Yuna… Missama got…』
「Fina? Fina, what happened?! Respond to me!」
『…………』
She didn’t respond .
I immediately turned around and ran back to Gran-san’s mansion .
Author’s Notes:
The idiot son has made his move . w
Well, there’s no massive hidden plan or plot, so things will end smoothly .
By the way, the Bear Phone is made using God’s skill; that’s why she can hear it from inside the Bear Box .
