Chapter 135 – Bear-san Goes To The Capital To Look For Mithril

After leaving the blacksmith, we set out to the capital to look for a mithril knife. Well, even though I said set out, it only took us a few minutes, thanks to the Bear Transfer Gate.

I had actually gone to the capital just a few days prior to this; I had gone to see Princess Flora since I finally got some rice to spare.
I made a lot of bite-sized onigiri that would suit the taste of a child and brought them to her.
Like usual, Eleanora-san and the king managed to sniff out my presence and came to eat them, too.
Well, Princess Flora was still a child and couldn’t eat a lot of onigiri even though I made them small, so it was okay for them to have some as well.
Although it hadn’t been long since I was last at the capital, it was different for Fina.

「It’s the capital!」

Fina said happily as we left the Bear House.

「It’s really a strange feeling, somehow. I can’t believe that we were in Crimonia just a moment ago.」

「It’s been a while since you last came to the capital, so is there something you want to see? We could pass by if you want.」

There was no reason to hurry, so I asked her if she wanted to go anywhere in particular, but she shook her head.

「Just walking around is fun enough.」

She was right, simply walking around aimlessly was a way to have fun.
Doing some sightseeing might also be good, so we decided to have fun on our way to the smithy. I soon realized something important, though. I had no idea where the smithy was.
I had asked Nert-san where it was, but she didn’t know.
Since I didn’t know where it was, I brought out the Bear Map, which showed me the whole capital in detail.
Yep, I had no idea where it was.
The capital seemed just like Tokyo’s metropolitan area on the map; it was impossible to find a specific shop in this mess.
Well, it might be possible if there was some sort of search function, but sadly there was nothing like that, so I had no chance finding it using just my eyes.

Well, it was a smithy, so the Commerce Guild should be able to tell me where it was.
We headed to the Commerce Guild, which meant we had to go to the main avenue: a really large avenue where carriages were always coming and going. There were other ways to get to the guild, but that would mean taking a detour, so we resigned ourselves and walked onto the main avenue.
Even for a main avenue, there was a lot of pedestrian traffic here, and a lot of people around also meant a lot of people looking and talking about me: something I was used to by now.

Hey, mother over there, please tell your child that it’s not nice to point at people with his finger.
Hey, the person over there, stop being so astonished just by seeing someone, please…
You there, weren’t you taught that you shouldn’t laugh at other people?
Also, the person on the other side, the suit isn’t on sale, so even if you go to a tailor, they won’t sell it to you. So don’t go to a clothing shop, please…
The person next to the one from before, don’t order one for yourself, too, please…
Yes, I’m a Bear…
Yes, it’s embarrassing. I’m used to it now, though.
You think it’s cute? Thank you very much.
You want to hug me? Please refrain from doing so.
You’re going to tell someone else that I’m here? Please don’t.
‘I will stand guard, so go,’ you say… I’m not an animal, you know! Do you plan on capturing me?
Yeah, I’m the rumored Bear.
You want to touch me? That’s strictly prohibited.

I rebuked everything that was happening around me in my head, and as I continued to do so like some sort of idiot, we reached the front door of the Commerce Guild.
As expected from the Commerce Guild of the capital, it was an immense building, and there were a lot of people going about.
There were also a lot of people at the Commerce Guild of Crimonia, but it was still incomparable to the amount of people here.
With this many people around, even more people were staring at me, but there was no way that I wouldn’t enter after coming this far.
I took Fina’s hand, and was about to enter the guild, when a voice called out from behind.
