Chapter 124

Well, nobody would believe that a girl wearing a Bear Suit would be an adventurer, right?

"We didn’t believe that you were strong."

I didn’t think anyone who met me for the first time thought that I was strong.

"We were making fun out of you by saying that you were a strange girl wearing strange clothes."

Oh right, he did say that. Well, if I met anyone wearing these clothes, I would also laugh at them.

"We decided to do something dangerous without asking for your approval."

Well, they didn’t see me as an adventurer back then.

"We never thanked your bears."

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear tilted their heads.

"We didn’t properly thank you for saving us."

You guys thanked me plenty, though…

All these things were nothing to be upset about, you know…

Hmm, did I get used to it?

"You don’t really have to worry about these things. I just kept my true strength a secret since Eleanora-san asked me to let you guys do what you wanted unless I considered it dangerous. So, I wouldn’t have helped you if I didn’t consider the situation dangerous."

"But, you were still protecting us from the shadows, right?"

"That’s my job, you know."

"I was prepared to die when I decided to confront the Black Tiger. You saved my life."

"It was all my fault, but it was you, Yuna-san, who suffered the consequences of my decision. Thanks to you, we all made it back alive. I became arrogant just because I could kill some goblins. And because of my arrogance, you had to put yourself in danger."

What was this feeling?

Was I getting embarrassed?

"As I said before, you don’t have to worry about it. No one could have imagined that a Black Tiger would have appeared. Also, you wanted to subjugate the goblins for the sake of the village, not yourself. Finally, nobody would have ever thought that I was an adventurer the first time they saw me in these clothes, you know."

"But…"

"It’s not like you personally did something to me. For example, if you decided to pick a fight with me, I would get mad, but you didn’t do something like that, so you have nothing to apologize for. That’s why, you don’t really have to worry about it."

"…………"

"…………"

Marcus and Timor seemed like they wanted to say something else while Shia and Cattleya just kept silent and listened.

I wasn’t able to stand the silence, so…

"Want to eat something?"

The mood was getting really heavy, so I brought out potato chips, fried potatoes, sandwiches, and other snacks from the Bear Box and put them on the table.

"Can we?"

"Of course. I have a lot more, so go ahead and eat."

Marcus took a potato chip and ate it.

"It’s good."

Timor took a potato chip too.

"Yeah, it tastes great."
