Chapter 203 – Bear-san Gives Princess Flora the Plushies as a Present

A few days had passed since the mochi pounding event.
During this time, Noa kept pouting at me angrily (cutely) any time we came across each other, and I also taught Morin-san how to make red bean paste, so that we could serve anpan at our shop.
I had been quite busy last few days…
Hmm, maybe I should head to the capital for a quick breather?
I still hadn’t heard any news about the toad family. Maybe their trial wasn’t finished yet?

I was curious, but Cliff hadn’t mentioned anything, and it was possible that he wouldn’t tell me even if the results were out.

Still, Misa’s safety was depending on the toad family’s verdict. Eleanora-san had said that the family’s rank would most likely be stripped from them based on all the evidences collected, but I was still interested in the full verdict from the royal family.
Even if their rank was stripped down, the toad family might return to Sheelin.
Well, there was no point in worrying about it at this very moment. I could just ask Eleanora-san about it if I ran into her, so, for now, I decided to just go and visit Princess Flora to give her the plushies.

As usual, I used the Bear Gate to go to the capital.
I greeted the castle guards and headed straight to Princess Flora’s room. Again, as usual, one of the soldiers ran off to give his report.
It looked like they hadn’t been given orders to stop me from entering. So, had Sheelin’s mess already been taken care of?
Well, there was no point thinking about it.
As I walked through the castle, I realized that everytime I came here, I went directly to Princess Flora’s room. Even if I ran into somebody along the way, they never stopped me. Did they not feel strange, seeing a commoner entering the castle and going straight to the royal princess’s bedroom?
Pondering the issue over, I arrived at Princess Flora’s room.
I knocked on the door, and just like always, Anju-san let me in.
As I entered, I immediately noticed Princess Flora was studying at her desk.

「Did I come at a bad time?」

「No, it’s fine. I was just thinking that it would be a good time for a break.」

Anju-san turned to Princess Flora.

「Princess Flora, Yuna-san has come to see you.」

Anju-san called out to Princess Flora, and she immediately turned her small face to look over at us.

「Bear-san?」

She smiled and rushed to me.
Sometimes, just seeing her smile was enough to make me want to visit more often.

「Are you doing well?」

「Yes!」

She replied energetically.

「I brought a present for you, Princess Flora.」

「A present?」

I took out the Hugging Bear and Swaying Bear plushies from the Bear Box.

「It’s Bear-sans!」

The plushies weren’t big, but when compared to Princess Flora, they seemed quite big.
I had wondered which one she would take first, but she grabbed them both at the same time.
The plushies slipped out of her hands, of course, but she got onto the ground and continued to hug them anyway.

「Princess Flora, please don’t play on the floor.」

Anju-san sternly reprimanded her.
Princess Flora looked as if tears would begin to well up in her eyes, so Anju-san gently tried to persuade her.

「Don’t the Bear-sans look sad lying on the floor like that? That’s why you should get up.」

Anju-san seemed to think the floor was dirty, but it looked quite clean to me.
There was a beautiful carpet laid out on the floor, and the whole room seemed quite tidy. If it were me, I wouldn’t be bothered about it and just lazed and rolled around. However, that was indeed an inappropriate behavior for a princess.
Anju took the plushies out of Princess Flora’s hands and placed them on the table. Princess Flora quickly sat back down in her chair and resumed hugging the plushies.
