Chapter 185 – Bear-san Wastes Some Time Away

The party was well underway now.
All the maids and other employees were very busy due to the amount of guests that had arrived.
As much as we would like to help, both Fina and I knew nothing about noble parties.
We just hid ourselves in our room to stay out of the way.
If I walked around the mansion in my suit, I would only draw attention to myself, which would only end up causing a commotion.

「Fina, what should we do?」

「Hmm, how about some dismantling?」

She said after thinking about it for a bit.
She came all the way here, so she should stop thinking about dismantling and just take a break.

「You don’t have to do that right now.」

「Okay, how about cleaning?」

「You don’t have to do that either.」

「Uuu, Big Sis Yuna. I can’t calm down. I’m in a Noble-sama’s mansion; I just can’t stay still knowing that.」

Fina couldn’t stay calm even though this was her third day here already, huh.
I had to help her feel comfortable staying at mansions, somehow.
Noa and Misa were her friends, so they were bound to call her over to play at their homes, after all.

「Should we play a game, then?」

「A game?」

I climbed onto the bed and gestured Fina to join me.
The table was a bit too wide for us to play a game where we had to face each other.
I told Fina to sit on the opposite side of the bed and took out a checkerboard and two small boxes from the Bear Box.

「What are these?」

「It’s a game called Reversi.」

I passed one of the small boxes to Fina and opened mine, prompting Fina to open hers as well.

「Uwahh. It’s a black bear on one side and a white bear on the other!」

Fina said while turning one of the flat, round pieces in her hand happily.

「How do you play this game?」

「You play by placing the pieces down on the board. Fina, do you want to be the black bear or white bear?」

「I can’t chose. The black bear is Swaying Bear, right? And the white bear should be Hugging Bear. I just can’t pick between them.」

I honestly couldn’t choose, either, even though the drawings on the pieces weren’t Hugging Bear and Swaying Bear but rather just basic deformed bears. Even so, we both felt bad having to choose a side. I had planned on having Fina choose, but since she couldn’t do it, either…

「Okay, then we’ll switch sides every round.」

「Okay.」

We would do what we always did with my Bears: just switch every so often to keep things fair.

「Okay, I’ll explain the rules now. First, you place two of your pieces in the middle of the board like this.」

I placed two black pieces in the middle.

「Fina, put two of your white pieces on the two open spots in the middle.」

Fina did as I told her to.
I then placed another black piece down, and flipped one of Fina’s white piece that was trapped between mine, changing it into a black bear.

「Okay Fina, now try placing a white piece in the same way to capture a black piece of mine.」

「Can I put it anywhere?」
