Chapter 176 – Bear-san Goes To The Capital To Fetch Zelef-san

*Petchi Petchi*, *Petchi Petchi*.

I was sleeping nicely until something soft began tapping my face.
As I opened my eyes, I saw Hugging Bear’s paw in front of me.
Oh right, I had to leave first thing in the morning today.
I looked out the window and saw it was still dark.

「Thank you, Hugging Bear.」

I thanked Hugging Bear and petted its head before getting out of bed.
Doing so, I woke up Fina, who sat up immediately.

「Big Sis Yuna, are you leaving now?」

「Oh, did I wake you up? I’m sorry, Fina. You can sleep in a bit more.」

「No, I wanted to see you off, so I asked Swaying Bear to wake me up too.」

I was pleasantly surprised by her response.
I thanked her and changed into my usual Black Bear Suit.

「Well then, I’m leaving now. If something happens, call me using your Bear Phone, and I will return as quickly as I can. Otherwise, please wait for me here without going outside since that could be dangerous.」

I felt a bit anxious knowing I wouldn’t be around for a while. Well, as long as they stayed inside the mansion, they should be fine.
Taking some precautions, like the Bear Phone, wasn’t a bad idea, though.

「Okay. I’ll call you if anything happens. Big Sis Yuna, you have to be careful as well, okay?」

I patted Fina’s head, unsummoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, and headed out onto the balcony.
Stopping just long enough for Fina to send me off, I jumped onto the roof.
This place should do, right?
The center of the roof was a good blindspot, so I set up the Bear Gate there.
I laid it down against the roof, so nobody would be able to see it.
Checking one last time, I opened the door below me, and transferred to the Bear House at the capital.
As soon as I passed through, though, I fell down due to the direction my body was facing.
It felt like jumping down a hole on the other side, but since I exited through a normal door here, I ended up buckling down.
It didn’t hurt at all, but it was still rather embarrassing. I was glad nobody saw me.
I had breakfast at my Bear House then headed to the castle when the sun hit the sky.
It was still early morning when I reached the guards at the castle gate.

「Hello. Can I head inside?」

「Yes, feel free to enter.」

Just as I was about to head inside, another guard ran over to me.

「Please wait a moment.」

The guard told me.

「I’m not here for Princess Flora today but rather want to see His Majesty and Eleanora-san. Would that be okay?」

「Oh. Please wait a moment, anyway. Eleanora-sama has already arrived at the castle, but I don’t know where she is right now. As for His Majesty, unless you had a prior arrangement…」

Well, it made sense for me not to be able to meet the king on such sudden notice.
Still, they didn’t know where Eleanora-san was, so I wondered what was she up to now.

「Could I talk to Zelef-san, then?」

「I don’t have the authority to permit that either, unfortunately.」

Could it be that I only had permission to visit Princess Flora?
Maybe it would be quicker if I just went over to her room like usual and waited for the king and Eleanora-san to show up there?

Just as I decided to do so, I noticed Eleanora-san heading over to me.

「I knew I saw a bear from far away. It was you after all, Yuna-chan. How rare for you to come here this early, though.」
