Chapter 102 – Bear-san Does Various Things Before Going Back

We were planning to go back tomorrow, so I decided to leave the inn early.
I headed towards the harbour to look for Ranya-san and Damon-san.
I arrived at the harbour, but no boats had returned yet.
Was I too early?

I had some questions about seafood. At first, I wanted to ask the elders, but I held back since they seemed really busy talking to Cliff.
As I was walking through the harbour while looking at the sea, I saw returning boats in the distance.

It seemed that I had good timing.
Big and small boats were all arriving at the harbour, one after the other.
As I watched the fishermen return, someone called out to me.

「Bear Missy, what are you doing at the harbour this early in the morning?」

「I am going back to Crimonia tomorrow, so I wanted to say goodbye to Ranya-san and Damon-san, and stock up on seafood as well.」

「Oh, you’re already going back…」

The fisherman seemed sad.

「I came to this city to buy some fish after all.」

「I see. Then, to show my gratitude, you can take as much fish as you want from the ones I have caught today.」

The fisherman who called out to me said something outrageous. The fishermen who heard him also started saying that I should take the fish they had caught.
I was happy, but was it really okay?

「Yuna-chan, what is going on?」

Ranya-san and Damon-san came up from behind the fishermen.

「I am going back to Crimonia tomorrow morning, so I came to say goodbye. I also came to stock up on seafood.」

「Then you can just take the ones I caught. I don’t need any money, of course. You have saved us a number of times, after all.」

The surroundings became noisy when Damon-san said that.

「Oi, Damon! You can’t say that after coming late. We want Bear Missy to take our fish as well. You aren’t the only one who has been saved, you know! We are all thankful that we can fish again. It’s a chance for us to repay her at least a little, you know!」

「That’s right! We don’t normally get to approach her, since the elders said that it would be an annoyance, you know!」

The elders gave out an order like that, huh.

「Still, we have been saved on the snowy mountain as well…」

「That’s irrelevant.」

「That’s right! You aren’t the only ones who are thankful!!」

Somehow, it became a major incident.
In this situation, I had to say something like 『Stop! Don’t fight over me!』, right?

「Hmm, you should all calm down. I will properly pay for the fish.」

「Bear Missy, we won’t take your money.」

「That’s right! If we do, it won’t count as repayment!」

「That’s no good. You have to keep your business ethics, or it will be hard for me to come and buy fish at a later date.」

「If it’s Bear Missy, I don’t mind if you don’t pay next time either.」

「I have a food shop in Crimonia, so I would have to come back to restock on a regular basis.」

「…Understood. Next time, you will pay, but please take it for free today.」
