-No One's P.O.V-

After you, Yuna, and Gawr Gura handled the monsters and Ghoulzam outside the Royal Capital, everyone begins to celebrate the new event which is the King's birthday~!

And now, inside the Royal Capital's castle, all of the invited guests were trying out the new dessert known as "Pudding" which was created by you, Yuna, and Gura. The guests hesitated to eat the pudding, but they eventually scooped up a bit of it and ate it until they expressed a delightful expression on their faces.

King: *Raises the Pudding* This food is called pudding! I wanted everyone who attended my birthday celebration to taste it! I hope everyone enjoys it!

All of the guests were now thanking the king for the pudding they tasted and celebrating his birthday.

Yuna: It was a personal request from the king, but making 200 was really tough.

(Y/N): Indeed, but me and Gura helped you out to make them since we can't let you do it all alone.

Gura: *Nods and Smiles* Yup~!

Yuna: *Nods* I appreciated the help...again.

You, Gura, and Yuna let out a lighthearted chuckle with each other.

-Time Skip-

After the King's birthday celebration had ended last night, everyone is currently enjoying life in the royal capital in the bear house that Yuna had made. Fina, Noa, and Misa came to chat with each other...(Y/N) sparring with Shia...or enjoying some teatime with each other's companion. Gawr Gura has been helping out with other people's needs in town. All sorts of people come every day and the house is quite lovely. Finally, the Princess and His Majesty would come to visit Yuna's bear house.

Right now, everyone was relaxing in the living room until you noticed that Fina seemed a little anxious. You put your book down and asked...

(Y/N): Hey Fina, something the matter?

Fina: You three are so amazing that even the princess and His Majesty come to visit.

Yuna: We just happened to meet at the castle.

Fina: *Smiles Nervously* I don't think they normally do house visits.

A few minutes later, Fina brought a tray of snacks and tea to the living room table until Yuna asked...

Yuna: Should we head back to Crimonia, you guys?

Gura: Yeah, I think we've been spending a couple of days in the Royal Capital. We should go head back to the Crimonia.

(Y/N): Hmm...yeah, I do agree.

Fina: Um...

Yuna: Fina?

Fina: I-I was thinking we haven't done anything together lately...

Yuna: Now that you mentioned it...

Fina: So, I wanted to go out with you guys again before we go back...*Smiles* Can we?

Yuna looks at you and Gura as she asks...

Yuna: What do you think?

You and Gura looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Gura: Sure, we'd like to go out~!

(Y/N): *Nods* Yes. Should we do it today or tomorrow?

Yuna: Eh, I'd say we do it tomorrow.

Fina: Really? *Smiles* Thanks~!

-The Next Day-

Once the next day comes, the four of you are walking at the town of the Royal Capital until Yuna begins to speak up...

Yuna: We have to buy souvenirs for everyone.

Fina: Then we should go to the marketplace.

That is when all of you hear...

Boy 1: It's a bear~!

Boy 2: And there's the wolf~!

Girl 1: Oh, and the shark, too~!

Fina: You guys are so popular!

(Y/N): That's just our costumes, Fina.

Gura: *Grins* Hehehe~!

-Mini Time Skip-

About an hour would pass by of taking a grouping stroll together, the five of you were at the park and lying down on a hill.

Fina: Are you three really not going to open a shop?

Yuna: Even you, Fina?

Fina: Well, I could eat delicious food any time if you guys opened a shop.

Yuna: I mean, the three of us can do cooking, but it would be hard to do as a business.

Fina: Why?

Yuna: You have to make a lot every day. It'd be way too troublesome.

Fina: I see.

(Y/N): (Wait, no. That's just wrong...)

Yuna: And...

Fina: And?

Yuna: *Smirks* We won't be able to go on adventures.

Fina: *Gasps in realization* I wouldn't have any harvesting work?!

Yuna: Exactly. Right? We can't open a shop, *Looks at (Y/N) and Gura*, isn't it, you two?

You and Gura looked at each other and gave nervous smiles before turning to Yuna and said...

(Y/N): Well, that's actually both right and wrong.

Fina & Yuna: Huh?

Gura: Even if we did open a shop, not only the three of us can cook, but we also need to hire workers as well to provide the business to run. We may have cooked before, but we also need to show recipes to show how it's done before serving the customer.

(Y/N): *Chimes in* But that's not all, We're also going to need an approval permit from the Guild, funding, the interior designs, and lots of supplies to apply our business to be opened. Yuna's skill is capable of manipulating the power of the earth and making almost anything work, but Gura and I don't have that kind of skill like Yuna's.

Yuna and Fina were in awe of you and Gura's explanation.

Yuna: Oh yeah...I guess it's a fair point.

(Y/N): (That's because we have the "Entrepreneurship" subject in class that you can learn to run a business if you dream of it...)

That is when Gura lets out a yawn while stretching before lying down on the ground. You, Yuna, and Fina also lay down on the grass and looked at the sky for just a few seconds until all of you heard your stomachs rumbling one at a time.

All of you looked at each other and let out a lighthearted laughter after the stomach rumbling.

(Y/N): Looks like it's time for lunch.

Fina: Yeah. What should we eat?

Gura: What about the bakery? We could go there and get some grub.

Yuna: You took my mind off right there, Gura.

-Mini Time Skip-

Fina: The bread there was delicious.

Yuna: Yeah, we have to eat there one last time before we go back.

Gura: I'll be taking some usual ones as well~!

(Y/N): *Smirks* Heh, same here.

Upon arriving at the bakery, the four of you find a sign that is pasted to the glass door that says that they are closed.

Fina: Wasn't this the place?

(Y/N): It should be, but...

Yuna: No way, they shut down?

That is when the female baker in her 30s' would exit the building with a box which surprised you all.

Morin: Didn't you visit my shop before? My daughter and I thought you kids are such cute animals. *Realizes* Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Morin. What are your names?

Yuna: My name is Yuna.

Fina: My name is Fina.

(Y/N): *Nonchalant* It's (L/N). (Y/N) (L/N).

Gura: *Enthusiastic* And I'm Gawr Gura~! You can always call me Gura~!

Morin: Yuna, Fina, (Y/N), and Gura.

Yuna: Um, what happened to the shop?

Morin: We are losing the shop. We couldn't pay back the money we borrowed when we opened.

(Y/N): Would that mean that you have a debt?

Morin: Yes. We ended up borrowing from a shady place. The debt grew so large before we realized it.

Fina: *Lowers her head in sympathy* Even though it was so delicious...

Morin: Thank you. I worked so hard with my husband and daughter, Karin, but...My husband collapsed from overwork and passed away. Now, we have to give up the shop.

Gura: *Sympathetic* Darn...I'm really sorry about your husband.

Moring: *Reassuring* No, it's okay. We've already moved on from that.

That is when a girl with brown hair with braids wearing an autumn color-liked dress exists out of the building with a small box that she's carrying in her hands.

???: I won't give up! We'll definitely open the shop here again! *Walks back inside* We definitely will! We need to clean this place out and plan for the future!

(Y/N): Hmm... (That girl must be Karin.)

You thought to yourself with an analytical face.

Morin: My daughter is stubborn, so we'll continue trying our best. I don't know when, but please come visit again when we open a new shop.

Yuna: Um...

Morin: Hm?

Yuna: Can I have a moment of your time?

(Y/N) and Gura glanced at each other in confusion.

-Time Skip to Evening-

Later, the five of you brought Morin and Karin into the Bear House to have a discussion. On the table, Morin and Karin made burgers, budding, pizza, salad, and steak and eggs that followed the recipe that was given by Yuna.

Morin: We made it according to the recipe, but I'm not sure we did it correctly.

(Y/N): No way, they look really great than I thought.

Morin: Is that so?

(Y/N): *Nods* Mm. You followed the recipe and its design looks really good.

Karin: I've never seen food like this before.

Yuna: Let's have a taste test.

Everyone begins to have a taste test. Morin is eating the burger, Karin is eating the pizza, Fina and Gura are tasting the pudding, you are tasting the burger, and Yuna is eating the Best-Ever Steak and Eggs.

Karin: *Delightful* Mm?! What is this? It tastes amazing!

Morin: It is delicious.

Fina: *Amazed* This is...

Yuna: *Nods in approval* Theirs taste more delicious. Would you like to work at my shop?

Morin & Karin: Huh?

(Y/N) & Gura: ("My shop"?)

Yuna: I expected the bread to be great, but you made everything so delicious in one try. I don't want such talent to go to waste.

Both Karin and Morin were surprised by Yuna's offer, including you and Gura due to the fact that the three of you were unsure whether to make a business.

Morin: This is awfully sudden. We've only just met. I'm not sure we can trust such an offer...

You then gently grabbed Yuna's arm and said...

(Y/N): Wait, Yuna. We need to talk in private. We can't just go and agree without a reason.

Gura: *Nods* Yeah, (Y/N)'s right.

Yuna: *Realizes* Oh, right. Fina, you stay here and keep an eye on things along with Morin and Karin, okay?

Fina: *Nods* Right.

You, Gura, and Yuna went upstairs to the bedroom to have a talk with each other privately.

...

Yuna: So, what is it that we need to discuss?

(Y/N): Well...remember when we said about being unsure of opening a business, yeah? What's the sudden offer though?

Yuna: *Smiles in reassurance* I understand, (Y/N). However, you two need to think of something outside the box.

Gura: How so?

Yuna: To put it simply, Morin and Karin's cooking and tasting are different from how we usually cook. So, if we open a shop in Crimonia with Morin and Karin as our cookers and bakers, we can always go there to have a taste of their cooking instead of our own. What do you say?

You and Gura widen your eyes in realization about Yuna's plan until Gura speaks up with enthusiasm.

Gura: Ooh, that's a good idea~!

That's when you add a bit of skepticism.

(Y/N): That's nice and all, but if we were to find a place we could open for business, Gura and I can't decorate nor create everything like your abilities Yuna.

Gura: *Realizes* Oh shit, you're right

Yuna: *Understanding* I'm aware of that. Even if you two can't decorate or create anything like me, you two can always provide recipes for the business we already knew before we got here. (Y/N), you told me this once earlier ago...

-Flashback-

(Y/N): But that's not all, we're also going to need an approval permit from the Guild, funding, the interior designs, and lots of supplies to apply our business to be opened. Yuna's skill is capable of manipulating the power of the earth and making almost anything work, but Gura and I don't have that kind of skill like Yuna's.

-Flashback End-

Yuna: Isn't that, right?

(Y/N): *Realizes* Oh yeah, I guess my own advice helped out.

Yuna: *Grins* Hehe~! So, what do you two say?

You and Gura looked at each other and nodded.

(Y/N): Alright, we'll take it.

Gura: I wholeheartedly agree~!

Yuna smiles at you and Gura's agreement about opening the business in Crimonia.

-Time Skip-

Time would pass after the agreement between you, Yuna, and Gura about opening a business in Crimonia. Yuna gives Morin and Karin a sack of gold coins for them to travel and prepare for the cost while Yuna herself will also provide the necessities and living for Morin and Karin for a place to stay and have business. After that (Y/N), Yuna, Fina, and Gura headed back home to Crimonia.

-Somewhere in the Woods with (Y/N) and Gura-

While Yuna was busy dealing with finding a place to open a business for Morin and Karin to have and also recruiting the children from the orphanage to work as recruits, both you and Gura had nothing to do but spend time with each other along with Alphax since you didn't use Alphax for a little bit of time. Right now, you and Gura were finished walking together in the woods as the two of you were heading back to Crimonia.

(Y/N): Whew...it's been a while since we spent time together back in the real world. I always remember where we walked together after school.

Gura: *Nods with a smile* Mmhm~ I heard that the other students were thinking of us as a cute couple~!

(Y/N): *Chuckles* Sometimes students think about love and tease about it, but they've got studies to do.

That is when felt your Summon, Alphax, calling out to you and wanting to get out.

You snapped your fingers until you summoned out Alphax which confuses Gura.

Gura: Huh? Why are you summoning Alphax?

(Y/N): *Shrugs* Dunno. Alphax, something the matter?

Alphax went off in another direction before looking back at you as if to say that she wanted to be followed. You and looked at Gura looked at each other before following Alphax into the woods.

-Very Short Time Skip-

It wasn't that long to follow Alphax until you and Gura arrived at an unfamiliar location that was led by Alphax. There was a big circle with a pedestal in the center and it had three gems which are red, white, and green.

Gura: What the heck is this?

(Y/N): Alphax, are you leading us to some kind of location or something?

You asked until Alphax was seen sitting down next to the pedestal. That is when Alphax uses her upper left paw to pat on the ground as if to say "Come over here." Skepitcal at first, both you and Gura decided to trust Alphax and walked to the big circle. That is when the gems begin to float upwards until a bright light shines in front of your eyes which causes you and Gura to cover your eyes.

...

The bright light fades away for a moment, you and Gura uncovered your eyes until you three were no longer out in the woods, but instead, a different location that looked like a secret hidden area.

(Y/N): *Surprised* What the shit is this?

Gura: Whoa...we must've been teleported somewhere.

That is when the two of you can hear a "ding" notification which came from God himself as the two of you begin to read...

God: Greetings, youngsters. It seems that you have found a hidden area that can be located by your own summon beasts! Now then, this place is only for players to those who want to have a once-of-a-lifetime opportunity to have a free summon creature who lacks one! Gawr Gura, you are the only person to have no summon beast. (Y/N), you have a special gift that is awaiting ahead of you! Be sure to take time around the hidden area as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Good luck~!

The message would disappear in thin air.

Gura: *Excited* Really?! I get a free summoned beasts~!? Horray~!

(Y/N): Strange. This is way too convenient and also sudden. *Skeptical* However, it's best if we keep our guard up. You go find your own summon, Gura. While I go find this "special gift" of mine...

Gura: Okay~! Alright, God. I'll go find one summon for myself~!

And just like that, Gura runs off like a little kid while you smile at seeing her excitement until you see Alphax walking ahead of you.

(Y/N): Where are you heading, Alphax? Are taking me to another location?

Alphax looks back at you as if to follow her once again to which you let out a sigh before following her.

-With Gura-

While Gura is running off to find her own summon beast, she does find most of the creatures cute and friendly until Gura senses something coming from the waters. Gura approached the water until she saw a small silhouette beneath it. That is when a small shark would appear out of the water and Gura was surprised to see another shark just like her. The small shark had weird goofy eyes and had an empty can above its head as if it was a hat.

Gura was in awe upon seeing the shark until she gently picked it up before saying...

Gura: Wow, you look cute~! I never thought I'd see a cute shark like this before~!

The small shark smiles with its eyes closed as if it is feeling complimented until Gura notices beneath the small shark's body. The small shark had legs on it which surprised her until Gura asked...

Gura: Can you walk?

The small shark moved its upper body up and down as if was nodding to Gura's response. Gura tilted her head in curiosity as she set the small shark down and was surprised that the small shark could walk on its two feet on the ground.

But that's not all, the small shar covers itself with a bubble as it begins to float around Gura in a playful way which earned a giggle coming from the shark girl.

Gura: Okay, okay~! You got my attention~! I guess I'll pick you as my summoned beast, but you look cute though...can you like...transform or something?

The small shark nodded as it flew above the water before the bubble popped itself, dropping the small shark onto the water.

Gura waited for a few moments until the small shark revealed its true form which looked like an ordinary great white shark while also wearing the same empty can above its head.

Gura: Whoa! That's amazing! Okay, for real, I wanna pick you!

The shark transforms back into the cute small shark form with a bubble around it as it makes a happy face upon hearing Gura's answer of picking the small shark.

Gura: Now then, I'm going to name you...Oh wait, before I name you...Are you a male shark?

The small shark nodded its upper body up and down, indicating that it was a male shark.

Gura: Okay, I'll give you your name since you're a guy...

Gawr Gura begins to think of a name for her small shark until an idea pops into her head.

Gura: I know! I'll call you "Bloop"!

The small shark known as "Bloop" was now flying up and down to show his excitement and also like the name that was given by Gura.

Gura: You look happy. I guess "Bloop" is going to be your name. I'm Gawr Gura. Let's take care of each other, hehe~!

Gura says with a smile while Bloop also smiles with his shark teeth showing.

Gura: Now then, time to find (Y/N) and Alphax.

Gura looks around until she and Bloop see you and Alphax entering a big hole in the wall.

-With (Y/N)-

Back to (Y/N), he was following Alphax somewhere until she led (Y/N) onto a big hole entrance. Upon entering, (Y/N) and Alphax would find a magical pond.

(Y/N): A pond? I have a feeling that it is no ordinary pond. What are you showing me, Alphax?

You asked in curiosity until you saw Alphax walking over to the pond and stood there for a few moments until her body was glowing which widened your eyes in surprise.

(Y/N): Wait, what?! Alphax, get out of there, right now!

As you were about to grab Alphax, her wolf body began to shine which made you stop your tracks. You begin to watch Alphax's body transform into something else. Her whole body as a wolf would stand up as her body begins to transform into a feminine human figure until...

(A/N: Ignore the blood and swords.)

(Y/N): My god...

You were shocked upon seeing Alphax transformed into a human woman until she walked up to you and leaned down. You were surprised that Alphax was taller than you and you can assume that she's the same height as Gil.

Alphax: It's quite refreshing on this form, isn't it, Master?

(Y/N): Alphax...Is that really you?

Alphax: Of course, it's me~! Just a little upgrade or perhaps...an evolution from this pond, hehe~!

(Y/N): Damn...I didn't know that this place could evolve my Summoned beast.

Alphax: Sure as heck you didn't know. Besides even in this body, I can still change back to my wolf form if you'd like.

(Y/N): I see. Oh, and I wanna apologize for riding on your back.

You said with a bit of guilt in front of Alphax until she lets out a lighthearted laughter before patting you on the head.

Alphax: Don't worry about it, Master~! It ain't a big deal for someone like you or anyone to ride on my back. I'm strong, ya' know?

You let out a small chuckle before saying...

(Y/N): Thanks, Alphax. Oh, and you really shouldn't call me "Master" in front of everyone. It's going to make them think the wrong idea.

Alphax: *Nods with smile* Sure, sure, but I can only call you Master either when you're alone or with Gura and Yuna.

(Y/N): Now that's something, but okay.

Alphax: Hehe~!

Gura: (Y/N)! (Y/N)!

Alphax: Oh? That must've been Gura.

Gawr Gura then arrives along with Bloop.

Gura: There you are! *Sees Alphax* Oh? Who's that girl?

(Y/N): Oh uh...Ahahaha...This girl here is Alphax. She evolved from the pond itself during her wolf form.

Gura: *Surprise* Wait, what? Alphax evolved?

Alphax: That's right, Gura. I just evolved from that magical pond.

Gura: *Stars in her eyes* Wow, that's amazing! Oh, (Y/N), look what at I picked~!

Gura then shows Bloop toward you and Alphax.

(Y/N): Wow, this small shark? It looks really cute.

Gura: Of course~! Oh, I gave this shark a name which is "Bloop", and he's a male shark.

Alphax: Bloop, huh? What an odd name, but whatever suits his name as a shark.

Bloop nodded in confirmation.

(Y/N): By the way, can Bloop do something?

Gura: He can transform into a real shark! He's quite scary when he is in shark form, but he's cute when he's like this.

Bloop nodded in agreement after Gura finished her words.

(Y/N): I see. But anyways, we gotta leave this place, we wouldn't wanna make Yuna worried.

Gura and Alphax: Yup.

As anyone was about to do something, a green pentagram would appear beneath your food which widened everyone's eyes until a glowing light would shine in front of your faces which forced everyone to shield their eyes.

...

The glowing light then fades away momentarily before opening your eyes and seeing that everyone got out of the hidden area.

Alphax: We're back. I guess that pentagram teleported us out of here.

(Y/N): So it seems.

Everyone looked back at the big circle and the pedestal, but to their shock, it was gone.

Gura: Wait, did it just disappear?

(Y/N): God did say that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after he sent us that message when we arrived at the hidden area. I guess we're the only ones to find it. Yuna would be disappointed if Kumakyu and Kumayuru weren't to transform.

Alphax: *Grins mischievously* Hehe, I can't wait to see their faces~!

-Mini Time Skip-

After getting out of the hidden area, Alphax, Gura, Bloop, and you arrived back to Crimonia. The four of you went to the location where Yuna sets up her business and al of you were in awe of what she had made...

(Y/N): Holy shit...

Gura: She actually did it~!

Alphax: So that's where Yuna's business, huh? There are a lot of people waiting in line. Let's go and greet her.

(Y/N): *Nods* Yeah.

You, Alphax, Bloop, and Gura approached Yuna and Fina who were standing out at the entrance.

Gura: Fina, Yuna, we're back!

Yuna: *Turns to see you* Oh, welcome back you...two?

Yuna and Fina had a confused expression as she saw you with Alpha along with Gura and Bloop.

Yuna: *Looks up at Alphax* Whoa...she's tall...

Fina: Um...who is this woman, Big Bro (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Ah, this is Alphax. She's just gotten an evolution.

Alphax: *Raises her hand up* Yo.

Yuna: Wait, what? Alphax evolved?! When!?

(Y/N): Allow me to explain.

You begin to explain the whole situation between you and Gura about finding the hidden area.

-Mini Time Skip-

(Y/N): And...that's how we got it.

Yuna: Aw man...*Sulks* I could've gone there myself, but I got too busy...

(Y/N): *Apologetic* I'm really sorry...

Fina: *Giggles* I'm quite happy that you got yourself a Summon, Gura Sis.

Gura: *Nods with a smile* Yeah. Bloop is really the cute shark that I picked~!

Bloop then makes a joyful expression as if to show his appreciation to Gura.

Yuna: *Smirks in amusement* Heh, he's really cute. As for Alphax...

Everyone looked over to Alphax and saw that she was having fun interacting with everyone in her human form.

Yuna: Well...it's a little weird to see her in that form.

(Y/N): We'll get used to it. Oh, did you tell anyone about our situation at the restaurant design, Yuna?

Yuna: I already have, so you guys won't be worried about being asked.

(Y/N): *Sigh of Relief* That's good to hear. Anyways, we should head inside the restaurant you made, Yuna.

Gura: *Raises right fist in excitement* Yeah~!

Yuna: *Giggles* Okay, okay, let's head inside. *Leans in closer* Plus, I gave you free access wherever you ago, but as long as you two don't do anything funny. We're friends here, got it?

(Y/N): *Chuckles* We won't.

-Mini Time Skip-

Later, Yuna explains everything and shows the ropes inside the restaurant known as "Bear Haven". You, Alphax, Gura, and Bloop were amazed at the interior design and it was fully bear-themed and also saw the children wearing brown bear hoodies as costumes for workers.

Gura: *Smiles* Wow, we're really impressed with what you've done, Yuna.

Yuna: *Scratches the back of her head* Ehehe...it's all in a day's work of helping people making them smile.

(Y/N): I see.

You then gently patted Yuna on the head and said...

(Y/N): You may be a lazy bum, but you've grown. That's what makes you the best.

Yuna lightly blushes at your praise as she lowers her bear hood as if not to show her blush before nervously saying...

Yuna: Y-Yeah...thank you so much...(Y/N)...

Alphax: *Teasing* Oh my, someone's got a little crush~

Yuna: *Flustered* A-Alphax...!

Everyone except Yuna lets out a lighthearted laugh as they all begin to enjoy the experience inside the Bear Haven restaurant.

-Time Skip at Evening-

Mirein: We have sold out of everything on the menu! A complete success!

Orphan Children: *Raises their hands in victory* Alright!!

Both Fina and Shuri slumped their heads on the table due to exhaustion.

Fina: I'm happy...

Yuna: I'm happy, but this place isn't really a "haven" at this rate...

(Y/N): I mean, you were the one who named it, so there's no going back.

Yuna: Yeah, yeah...

Fina: It was so busy.

Shuri: We worked a lot!

Morin: *Realizes* Oh, that's right. I made some for everyone to eat after we finished.

Morin shows a cup of pudding in her hands and gives it to everyone who works hard.

Karin: Thank you for all your hard work today!

Everyone: Great job!

Everyone began to eat the cup of pudding and they all had delightful expressions on their faces.

Gura: *Notices Yuna's expression* Something the matter, Yuna?

Yuna: Actually, I imagined a quieter kind of place...

(Y/N): *Smiles in amusement* Is that a joke?

Yuna: Ehehe...probably~

You shook your head with a smile before the three of you continued to eat your pudding.

That is when everyone hears the sound of the front door opening, revealing to be Noir and Cliff Foschurose

Noir: I did not make it in time...

Noir said with her shoulders slumped down as if to express her disappointment.

Fina: Lady Noa!

Noir: *Amazed* Ah! Wh-What is that? Such wonderful bear clothes!

Fina: This is the shop uniform.

Noir: Uniform...

Fina: Would you like to try it on, Lady Noa?

Noir: *Grabs Fina's shoulders* May I?!

Fina: Y-Yes...

Noir: I shall wear it immediately!

While Fina was having fun trying out the brown bear outfit...You, Yuna, and Gura were talking to Cliff.

Yuna: How was it?

Cliff: It was terrible. The interest rate on the loan for the bakery was illegally exorbitant. I had them punished properly under the law. Here is the document for the loan.

Cliff hands Yuna the document until you, Yuna, and Gura look at the document.

(A/N: Can't read this shit, lol.)

Yuna: Thanks.

Cliff: *Smiles* Don't worry about it.

(Y/N): I guess that means we've done our job to save Morin and Karin's bakery shop.

Yuna: *Nods* Definitely. I'll go talk to them, you two do whatever you gotta do.

You and Gura nodded as Yuna went off to talk with Karin and Morin.

Back to you and Gura, Noir approached you two to take a look at the brown bear costume that she was wearing.

Noir: Mister (Y/N), Miss Gura, how do I look?

You and Gura smiled before answering...

(Y/N): You look really good in those, Noa.

Gura: Yeah! Plus, you look really cute in those~!

Noir: Hehe~!

Noir then notices something is wrong. She looked at the children who were still wearing the brown bear costumes until she looked back at you and Gura as she looked at your hoodies.

(Y/N): Something the matter, kid?

Noir: Why are the other kids not wearing your signature clothes? You two could have collaborated with Yuna since you three are close.

You and Gura looked at each other until you knelt down at Noir's level and began to explain...

(Y/N): We wish we could, kiddo. However, Yuna can create anything that she wants using her own skill, both Gura and I don't have that kind of skill.

Noir: Eh? Really?

Gura: *Nods* It's true. However, even if Yuna can't make a combination of a bear, shark, and wolf-themed restaurant like this, we still can provide recipes for everyone to eat. (Y/N) gave everyone the recipe to make the Beast-Ever Steak and Eggs which tasted great with Morin and Karin's cooking.

Noir: Aww...it's too bad, but that's okay! You three are still good friends~!

Gura then pats Noir on the head before saying...

Gura: Thanks a lot, Noa.

Noir: Hehe~

Gura: Oh, Noa. I wanna show you my Summon~!

Noir: Ooh, what is it?!

Gura gives her a grin until she summons out Bloop from thin air.

Noir: *In awe* Wow, who is this little shark?!

Gura: Noa, meet my Summon, Bloop!

Noir: Bloop? He looks cute!

Bloop waves his left shark fin at Noir until he begins to fly around Noir as a way to greet her, which amazes Noir at Bloop's actions.

Noir: Whoa...he's amazing!

You and Gura smiled at Noir's reaction until you heard Alphax's voice.

Alphax: I'm back from all the carrying, (Y/N).

(Y/N): *Nods* Thanks, Alphax.

Noir: Alphax? *Points at Alphax* Wait, that tall lady is Alphax?

Gura: That's her, alright.

Noir: *Confused* I thought Alphax was a wolf.

(Y/N): Yes, but you can still see the color of her hair and tail since her fur is white. Plus, she evolved when Gura and I went to a hidden area that we found in the woods.

Noir: She evolved!?

Alphax chuckles until leans down and gently lifts up Noir.

Alphax: *Smiles sweetly* My, my, you look really adorable wearing that costume~!

Noir: Is that really you, Alphax?

Alphax: Of course, it's me. Just a little bit of an upgrade, kiddo. Come on, I'll let you ride on my shoulders, just like you rode me on my back~!

Noir: Horray~!

And just like that, Alphax begins to have fun with Noir riding on her shoulders while you and Gura put up a lighthearted smile on your faces.

-Time Skip to the Next Day-

After having fun in the Bear Haven restaurant, you and Gura asked Yuna about the discussion with Morin and Karin. To your surprise, both Morin and Karin made their decision to stay in Crimonia rather than heading back to their usual bakery shop in the Royal Capital due to them hearing about that one child wanting to go back to Bear Haven to taste more of its foods. Without munch of a choice due to how the customers wanted to go back to Bear Haven after tasting the food, you and Gura agreed to let Morin and Karin stay and work in Crimonia.

Once morning came by, you, Gura, and Yuna worked your usual morning routine together as the three of you headed to the Guild to go on a quest.

(Y/N): Alright, what should we have for today's quest?

Gura: *Enthusiastic* I'm sure we'll pick something that is fun~!

Yuna: *Nods* Yeah, something fun for our daily lives.

(Y/N): So it's settled then, let's do this!

Yuna & Gura: Yeah~!

...

...

(A/N: That's that~! Stay tuned for Episode 10~!
