Chapter 249 – Bear-san Visits Noa

After giving Princess Flora the picture book, I went straight back to Crimonia and stayed there for a couple of days.
I soon realized I couldn’t come up with a solution to the means of travel on my own, and decided to bring in Fina.

「So, what do you think we should do?」

「Even if you ask me that, I’m not sure, either.」

I called Fina over to my house so she could help me decide but got shot down by such a response immediately.
I had even given her tea and snacks to welcome her, so she could at least have tried to entertain me. I kind of wanted to tell her that I wouldn’t give her anymore snacks if she failed to give any constructive insight, but I couldn’t bear to do something like that and rather brought out even more snacks.

「So, if I get this right, both Shuri and I are coming to the Capital with you?」

「Yes. Eleanora-san wants to thank the two of you for taking care of her when she was visiting my shop.」

「I didn’t do much, though.」

「Didn’t you guide her around and explain stuff to her?」

「I did a bit, but that was so Mother didn’t have to.」

Tirumina-san had really been too nervous to be of any help here, huh. I could clearly picture Fina trying her best for her mother’s sake.

「I don’t think you need to look into it to deeply. She just wants to thank you for being her guide. Or do you not want to go?」

「Is the school festival a festival that Shia-sama’s school will be holding?」

「Yes, I think so. I’ve never seen it before, so I’m not completely sure, either. I believe the students will run a few stands and put on a show or two.」

Having never experienced a school festival in my former world, I barely had any knowledge of it. Thus, I was basically clueless on what a fantasy world school festival would be like.

「I want to go, but am I allowed to?」

「Shia and Eleanora-san said it was fine, so there shouldn’t be a problem.」

「But we’ll cause trouble for you, Yuna-oneechan.」

Why did she think so?

「I never once thought of you as a bother. In fact, you will actually cause me trouble if you don’t come.」

Fina didn’t understand what I meant by that and tilted her head in confusion.

「If I don’t bring you along, Eleanora-san will surely complain to me. 『Why didn’t you make her come?』or 『Did you even ask her?』, maybe even『You didn’t tell her anything strange, did you?』, and so on.」

Well, I didn’t think that would actually happen, but she would definitely be disappointed.

「Uuu, when you put it like that, there is no way I can decline the invitation.」

What a good girl.

「I’m just kidding. Tell me if you really don’t want to go and I won’t force you. I’ll also make up an excuse for Eleanora-san, so you won’t have to worry about it.」

If she really didn’t want to go, I had no intention of dragging her along.
I wanted Fina and Shuri to have fun at the school festival; if they had to force themselves, then they would surely be miserable.

「I really won’t be a bother to you?」

「As I said, I have never once thought of you being a bother. Actually, I’ve dragged you around a lot, so did you think I was being a bother to you?」
