Chapter 349: 349 Bear-san Decides Room Allocation (Day 1)

349 Bear-san Decides Room Allocation (Day 1)

Credits to: valiant, Philip

Unlike the Bear House in Crimonia and the one in the capital or the Bear House for travel which were all shaped like a sitting bear, Mereera’s Bear House was a small multi-floor building shaped like a standing bear.

This Bear House is about the size of a four-story building and is built so that two Bear Buildings stick together. The two bear buildings are connected on each floor, but the bear on the right is for girls and the bear on the left is for men. By the way, there are small tails behind it.

The children are looking upwards at such a huge bear building.

[Yuna-oneechan, are we going to stay here?]

[That’s right. Now if you guys got separated from Liz-san and the director, you must come here. You can probably ask anyone for direction.] Yuna

[Un~ understood.]

Although they replied, I wonder if they listened properly.

While the children are happy, the looks on the faces of the adults says otherwise.

[Yuna-chan. Are we staying here too?] Karin

[It’s a bit embarra.s.sing.] Seno

[It’s so cute, but it doesn’t suit me.] Elena

I heard some complaints from Karin-san, Elena-san, and Seno-san.

[If so, will Elena-san and the others camp out in the garden?] Yuna

[Yuna-chan. I’m just kidding. U wa~a, I’m glad to stay at such a cute bear-san’s house.] Elena

So easy to read.

Though it’s not like I don’t know how she feels. If I were a normal girl who didn’t have the bear’s abilities, I might have thought the same thing. But presently, the bear’s abilities were my powers that I cannot live without.

And yet some people are eager to see such a magnificent bear building.

[U~u, Yuna-san. What is that cute house. I want my house to be a bear. Please make it.] Noa

[Yuna-oneesama, please make my house into a bear as well.] Misa

Noa and Misa were looking at Bear Building when they said that. If I turn Cliff’s mansion into a bear house, Cliff will surely get mad at me. And Gran-san might collapse due to shock.

That’s why I told them…

[Sure. But only if you could get the permission from Cliff and Gran-san, then I’ll make it.] Yuna

I placed a difficult condition on them. Those two won’t give their permissions. Though, if I consider Eleanora-san as part of the condition, it will be dangerous since she will playfully give her permission, because she is that kind of person. But if it’s Cliff, he’ll never give his permission. And I hope Gran-san can stand his ground just like Cliff.

Then, I called out to everyone who were looking at the bear building and invited them to go inside it. The entrance is between the small legs of the bear. There are two entrances on the left and right, but we entered from the right-side entrance of the Bear Building.

On the first floor of the Bear Building, there’s the kitchen and the dining hall. The inside is connected so the dining hall and the kitchen were quite s.p.a.cious.

[We will eat here, so please gather at the time of the meal.] Yuna

I briefly explained what’s on the first floor, then we went up to the second floor. On the second floor, two bear buildings are connected by the corridor.

The right wing is for the girls and the left wing is for the boys. Each room is a one-floor layout, so it is larger than the school cla.s.sroom. Each room can easily accommodate 20 people.

[That side is the boy’s room and this side is the girl’s room. Is it okay for Liz-san and the director to stay with the children?] Yuna

[Yes, it’s okay.] Director

Nifu-san also agreed on staying in the room with the children, so I will put her in this room as well.

[Can Gill also stay with the boys?] Yuna

[I don’t mind.] Gill

The boys were happy with Gill’s words, and so Gill was taken to the room.

[Yuna-chan. What about me?] Lurina

Lurina-san asked.

[Is the girl’s room okay with you?] Yuna

[Yes, that’s fine.] Lurina

Lurina-san accepted it without any resistance. The girls took Lurina-san to their room. Then, I explained about the closet that contains the futons.

[You can use whatever in this room.] Yuna

[Yuna-san, are we also sleeping here?] Noa

[Noa and the others will be staying on the third floor.] Yuna

After finishing the explanation on the second floor, I took Noa and the rest to the upper floor.

There are several individual rooms on the third floor. I let Fina and her family stay in one of the rooms.

[Can our family use it?] Tirumina

[This time, think of it as a family vacation.] Yuna

[Thank you, Yuna-chan.] Tirumina

Tirumina-san went into the room together with her daughters and Gentz-san.

[Noa and the others will use the next room.] Yuna

Noa wants to share the same room with Shia, Misa, and the escorts Marina and Eru.

Finally, the three members of Bear-san’s rest shop, Morin-san, Karin-san, and Elena-san, as well as the four members of Bear-san’s restaurant, Anzu, Seno-san, Forne-san, and Petoru-san. All seven of them will be staying in the same room.

After a.s.signing everyone to their respected rooms, I went to my room.

I am alone but I’m not lonely. I will sleep with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear who are walking behind me.

I left Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear who are both tired from accompanying Fina and Noa today, then I left the room. When I got down to the first floor, Morin-san, Anzu and the others were preparing dinner. I took out the ingredients and handed it over to them.

[Tomorrow, I’m going to buy the ingredients that I don’t usually buy in Crimonia and cook them.] Anzu

Surely we came to Mereera so we can eat the food here. That’s why I let Anzu handle the purchasing of the ingredients. Please ask the commercial guild to collect the payment.

While talking with Anzu and the others in the kitchen, children came down.

[Yuna-oneechan. Can we go to the sea?]

[Right now?] Yuna

[Un!~]

It’s still a bit early for dinner. We are still preparing it.

The children are look at me with wide puppy-eyes. Besides, we’re in the town, so there’s no dangerous monsters in the vicinity. Though I’m worried about letting the children go to the beach alone.

While I was wondering what to do, Lurina-san came over.

[Yuna-chan, I’ll go with them.] Lurina

[Is that okay?] Yuna

[Um, the children are also dragging Gill along, saying that they want to go to the sea. They’re becoming restless, so it’s better to take them to the sea at once.] Lurina

I will accept Lurina-san’s words. I’ll leave the children who wants to go to the sea to Lurina-san and Gill. The children who remained in Bear Building are taken care of by the director, Liz-san, and Nifu-san.

After the children got out, Noa’s group comes in. And they’re looking around.

[What are you guys doing?] Yuna

[Exploring.] Noa

[Shia as well?] Yuna

[I’m checking out what kind of unusual things I can discover so I can tell it to Marcus and others as souvenirs.] Shia

No, you don’t have to.

Stop exploring, I’m not even living in here, so I’ve left nothing unusual. You can practically call it empty.

[Misa, Oneesama. First of all, we must search in the garden.] Noa

Noa goes out with Misa and Shia. Marina and Eru weren’t with them, so are they in the room?

Later, I found out that Misa told them, I wanted to see Marina’s face at that time.

After seeing Noa and others, I went up to the fourth floor to prepare the bath. Last time when I came with Fina, preparation was delayed and it took time to pour hot water into the bathtub. So this time, I’ll prepare it early.

When I came to the bathroom. Fina and Shuri were there.

[Oneechan. I’ll pour hot water.] Shuri

[Okay.] Fina

[Both of you, what are you doing?] Yuna

I can understand without asking. Fina has a cleaning tool, and Shuri is preparing the hot water. They seem to be preparing the bath. Though I couldn’t help but ask. I didn’t asked them to do that.

[The last time we came here, we couldn’t make the bath in time, so I thought we’d do it early. I tried to get permission from Yuna-oneesan, but you were talking and I thought it would be bad to disrupt you. So we went ahead and prepared it ourselves. I’m sorry.] Fina

Apparently, Fina was thinking about the same thing as me.

[You don’t have to apologize. I came here with the same idea, thank you. So, are you done with the boy’s bath?] Yuna

[Yes, I was thinking of doing it after we’re done here.] Fina

[Then I’ll help, so let’s do it together.] Yuna

[Yes!] Fina

[I will help too~.] Shuri

The three people prepared the baths.

[By the way, what about Tirumina-san and Gentz-san?] Yuna

[Mom tried to help with making dinner, but it seems that Anzu-oneechan refused because she said they’ll do it. So she went out to the garden with my dad.] Fina

It should be a honeymoon for Tirumina-san and Gentz-san, so I hope they enjoy it.

I asked them to do a quick cleaning of the men’s bath and I prepared the towels and a hair dryer on the shelves in each dressing room.

Then Fina and Shuri also finished cleaning and hot water was coming out from the mouth of the bear statue and filling the bathtub.

This will prevent them from taking a bath with little hot water.

As we were getting out of the bathroom, someone came in.

[So this is a bathroom.] Noa

[Noa?] Yuna

[Yuna-san?] Noa

The three who came in were Noa, Shia, and Misa. It seems that they have already explored everything from the garden to every corner of the first floor and have reached the bathroom on the fourth floor.

[If you told me I would have helped too.] Noa

For an aristocratic girl, cleaning a bath doesn’t look right.

[Yeah. You brought me along, so I’ll help you out with cleaning too.] Shia

[Yeah. I can also help.] Misa

Shea and Misa agreed to Noa’s words.

In that case, I will not treat them as guests, so I will have the three of them help tomorrow.

And so, I decided to take a bath together with Fina and Shuri who cleaned the baths before dinner. Also, Noa, Shia and Misa who will help clean the bath from tomorrow, joined us too.

[Yuna-san, can’t Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan join us in the bath?] Noa

Noa looks around.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are not here because they are sleeping in my room. If I tell her about it, she will be disappointed. If I went into the bath with them, Noa and the others wouldn’t be able settle with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, also Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear couldn’t calm down to take a bath. In that case, it would be better for Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to take a rest in the room.

I entered the bathtub, stretched my body, and got rid of the today’s worth of fatigue.

Then Lurina-san who went to the sea, returned before dinner. The children kept their promise. At dinner, they were excited to talk about what they saw at the sea, whether the sea was wide or salty. So now, it seems like the children who hadn’t gone want to go.

[Let’s all go tomorrow.] Yuna

After finishing the meal, the children first took a bath. So I asked Gill and Gentz-san to watch the boys. While the girls are with the director, Liz-san, and Nifu-san. The other people will have to go in later.

Finally, I asked the adult group to turn off the magic stones in each room and let me rest early. When I said, they all agreed.

I’m not tired because I’m wearing the white bear, but I’m sleepy. I’ve been driving the bear bus by myself since early in the morning. Therefore, I feel like I’m being attacked by sleepiness.

I laid down in the bed between Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and I fell asleep.
