Bear-san Sends Noa Home

The Bear Transfer Gate opened and led to Crimonia.

“Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, help carry Blitz and the others.” (Yuna)

“”Ku~un””

The Blitz and the others were sleeping quietly in the Bear Bus.

I slowly put them on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s back so as not to wake them up.

After crossing the  Bear Transfer Gate, I laid Blitz and the others down in the bedroom on the second floor of the Bear House.

The sleeping powder must have worked well because they didn’t wake up while they were transported.

“Is this really a town far from the fairy forest?” (Ronne)

“It’s a town called Crimonia, and Noa is the daughter of the Lord of this town.” (Yuna)

“Is that so?” (Ronne)

“Yes, that’s right. But father is not the kind of person who would do anything to a fairy, so don’t worry.” (Noa)

“I met Noa’s father, too, and he wasn’t a bad person.” (Primme)

Ronne looked out the window as if she were stuck to it.

“So, how long before the Blitz and the others will wake up?” (Yuna)

I asked Primme, who was putting a blanket over the Blitz and the others, and Ronne, who was looking out the window.

“It depends on the person’s sleep condition. If a person is sleep-deprived, getting up will take a while. Someone who gets enough sleep wakes up fast. Sleeping powder is something that induces sleep in a person.”

In other words, it depends on the person’s physical condition.

If the body was tired or sleep-deprived, it would take longer to wake up.

If they were in good shape and slept well, they would wake up earlier.

In the end, since I didn’t know when Blitz and the others would wake up, I had one last job to do.

That was to send Noa to Cliff’s place.

“Well, I’m going to take Noa home, what about you two?” (Noa)

“I’m going, I have to thank Noa’s father.” (Primme)

“…I’m going with you. All this happened because of me.” (Ronne)

“I don’t mind if you guys join us, but I don’t want you to be seen by others. It will cause a commotion, so hide in Noa’s pouch or disappear.” (Yuna)

“Okay, I’ll disappear then.” (Ronne)

“Me too.” (Primme)

“I can’t see Primme-san anymore.” (Noa)

Noa’s eyes were now unable to see Primme-san.

“But you can see me, right?” (Ronne)

“Yes, I can see Ronne-san.” (Noa)

“But instead, Yuna can’t see me anymore.” (Ronne)

Maybe I should just tell her now.

“Well, I was wondering when I should tell you. But I can see Ronne, as well.” (Yuna)

Ronne was surprised by my words.

“No way!” (Ronne)

“I could also see you when Ryan-san was doing his little experiment. I didn’t tell you about it at that time because I thought it would complicate things.” (Yuna)

“So Yuna-san is also a partner for Ronne-san?” (Noa)

I shook my head.

“It doesn’t mean we’re partners. I think I can see all the fairies.” (Yuna)

“You’re kidding.” (Noa)

“That’s just my guess.” (Yuna)

Maybe thanks to the Bear Equipment, I could see all the fairies.

It was a God-granted cheat equipment, after all.

But there was no way to confirm it now.

The only way to confirm it was if there were other fairies here.

In fact, miraculously, it may be possible that I was really compatible with two fairies, Primme and Ronne. And all of this had nothing to do with Bear Equipment, but that also meant the other fairies may not be visible to me.

I couldn’t bring any other fairies to confirm it, so I would not be able to verify this right now.

But I also wondered about what the Fairy Queen said.

Nostalgic Magic Power.

It could have something to do with that.

“It’s not fair that only Yuna-san can see the two of you.” (Noa)

I didn’t want to hear such a statement.

I think this was a blessing from God as well.

I calmed Noa down and left the Bear House.

“We have finally returned to Crimonia, haven’t we?” (Noa)

Noa looked around her and said, with a somber look on her face.

“A lot has happened, but this is the end, right? I’m a little sad.” (Noa)

If there were a beginning, there would be an end.

When it ends, you just have to start something new.

But I’d like to relax for a while.

“After coming back to Crimonia, I feel like I’m back in reality. Everything that has happened before seems like a dream and a strange experience.” (Noa)

Well, we encountered many unusual things on our journey.

Fairies, and then for Noa, the Bear Transfer Gate as well.

As we were having this conversation, Noa’s house came into view.

As soon as we approached the house, the gatekeeper noticed and contacted Lala-san, who led us to the room where Cliff was.

“Father!” (Noa)

Noa ran up to Cliff.

“Are you hurt?” (Cliff)

“No, I’m fine.” (Noa)

Noa smiled at Cliff.

Cliff was relieved to see her smile.

“Oh, I see. But it looks like you were quite late.” (Cliff)

Cliff looked at me.

I replied “Well, there’s been a lot going on, you see.”

“Before we get into all that, what happened with the fairies?” (Cliff)

“Thanks to Noa, we found Primme’s sister. Primme, Ronne, can you two show yourself?” (Yuna)

Cliff’s eyes turned to Primme and Ronne, who were standing by Noa’s side, as I called out to them.

“So they came here with you.” (Cliff)

“Yeah, they said they had to thank you.” (Yuna)

“So that fairy is Primme’s sister.” (Cliff)

“Yes, that’s Ronne. Noa has been a big help to us in finding her.” (Yuna)

“I’m glad you found her. I hope Noa’s part in all of this is over.” (Cliff)

“Yes, thank you, it was a great success thanks to your daughter.” (Primme)

Cliff expressed relief at those words.

“So, are you going to explain what happened?” (Cliff)

I told Cliff what I could.

“A fairy-obsessed human ran amok, huh? Even abandoning the role of Lord and tormenting the people.”  (Cliff)

“So, Father. Do you know where a country named Sahel is located?” (Noa)

“Never heard of it. I do know of a cluster of small nations across the sea. It might be one of them. If you ask the name of a large country nearby, then I might be able to tell you.” (Cliff)

“So there are some things even Cliff doesn’t know.” (Yuna)

“Local lords are like that. The most someone like me would be involved with is a neighboring country. And the chance of getting involved with a country across the sea is almost slim to none.” (Cliff)

If you put it that way, I couldn’t say anything.

Not knowing the names of countries he had no connection with was to be expected.

Even I knew very little about small countries in the Middle East and Africa, including their names and exact locations, in my previous life.

I sometimes wondered where even the prefectures of Japan were located.

I think only a Geoguesser would know all the countries’ names and locations.

(Editor’s Note: Google it, it is a legitimate competition)

In this other world, I am curious to know if there is even a detailed world map available.

“If you really want to know, ask Ellelaura in the royal capital. If it’s your request, I’m sure she’ll look into it.” (Cliff)

“Hmmm, I’ll ask her if I feel like it.” (Yuna)

The fact was that it didn’t matter where that town was. The Bear Transfer Gate was already in place.

I have no plans to go on a boat to that town.

“And there’s one more thing. I have to tell you something.” (Yuna)

“What?” (Cliff)

“Don’t you think something is weird?” (Yuna)

“What do you mean by weird?” (Cliff)

Cliff looked at us, but didn’t seem to notice anything strange.

“I don’t understand what you are implying. What do you think is weird?” (Cliff)

“About you being able to see fairies?” (Yuna)

“Wasn’t that a compatibility thing? So most people can’t see fairies… ah” (Cliff)

After saying all that, he seemed to realize what was going on.

Cliff looked at Ronne.

“How is it possible that I can see them?” (Cliff)

“Simply put, it seems like Noa and I are compatible with them.”  (Yuna)

“Noa?” (Cliff)

“It’s not me who is special, Yuna-san is compatible with both Primme-san and Ronne-san. I can’t believe it.” (Noa)

Cliff’s eyes, which had been watching Noa, turned to me.

“Is that so?” (Cliff)

“That seems to be the case.” (Yuna)

“Who really are you, Yuna? You’re more mysterious than any mysteries I have been involved with.” (Cliff)

“I’m just an ordinary adventurer.” (Yuna)

“Do you want a mirror? There’s one right there.” (Cliff)

Cliff pointed to a mirror hanging on the wall.

Was he asking me to look at myself? 

I didn’t need to look; I already knew that I was dressed like a bear.

And that I wasn’t an ordinary adventurer.

“Well, does it matter?” (Yuna)

“No problem. I just thought I’d let you know. Besides, I don’t think I’ll be seeing Primme and Ronne that often.” (Yuna)

“I’ll come visit you, okay?” (Ronne)

Ronne denied what I had said.

“Really?” (Noa)

“Because I promised Ryan that I would. You promised Ryan that you would be my friend.” (Ronne)

Ryan did ask for it.

But I didn’t expect to hear it from Ronne.

“Not only my sister, but I’m coming to visit as well.” (Primme)

In other words, it sounded like both sisters were coming to visit me and Noa.

“Cliff, first of all, I want to warn you not to spread rumors about fairies.” (Yuna)

There were people in this world who approached fairies with malicious intent. Sometimes, even goodwill could turn into malice.

“I won’t talk about it.” (Cliff)

“Also, you shouldn’t even try to study fairies.” (Yuna)

“No one is going to!” (Cliff)

“What? Does that mean you’re not interested in us?” (Primme)

“Why would I? You are friends with Yuna and Noa, aren’t you?”  (Cliff)

“Yes.” (Primme)

“I consider myself a decent person. I don’t want to study my daughter’s precious friends. Above all, I don’t see the benefit of picking a fight with that bear.” (Cliff)

“You mean you’d do it if I wasn’t involved?” (Yuna)

“Don’t get carried away. Fairies can make people either miserable or happy. It depends on how humans and fairies interact with each other. It’s the same with humans. So, I’m not going to do anything as long as you guys don’t harm my daughter.” (Cliff)

In other words, if you do something terrible to his daughter, he’ll take action.

Well, that’s normal for any loving father.

“You wouldn’t do anything terrible to Noa, would you?” (Cliff)

“I won’t. I promise that.” (Ronne)

After the discussion, Noa made arrangements to meet Primme and Ronne.

Noa then happily told Cliff about her experience.

“Thank you Yuna, I think Noa had gained a valuable experience.” (Cliff)

“I’m glad it was a good experience for her because I want Noa to become a respectable noblewoman.” (Yuna)

“I am already a respectable young lady.” (Noa)

Noa said proudly.

Cliff and I laughed at her.

Finally, as Noa started to look sleepy, perhaps relieved to be home, I left Noa’s house with Primme and Ronne.

We returned to the Bear House and went to the fairy mirror.

“Yuna, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to help my sister.” (Primme)

“It was tough, but I’m glad I was able to help you.” (Yuna)

After all, in the end, I let Blitz kill the Lord instead of doing it myself.

“Thank you, Yuna and Noa, for saving Ryan.” (Ronne)

Ronne also thanked me again.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go see Ryan-san?” (Yuna)

“No, I don’t want to go see him. I’m sure that Ryan will come to see me when he’s ready. I will wait until then.” (Ronne)

I have no idea when that would be.

But I do not doubt that Ryan-san would come to see her.

“Well, I have to report to the Queen, so we’re going home.” (Ronne)

“Alright.” (Yuna)

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. Thank you. It felt so good riding on your fur.” (Primme)

“”Kuu~un””

“And tell Blitz and the others thank you, as well.” (Ronne)

“I will.” (Yuna)

“Primme, let’s go.” (Ronne)

“Yes.” (Primme)

She touched the fairy mirror as she looked at us longingly.

“Yuna, I’ll see you again!” (Ronne)

With these words, Primme and Ronne entered the fairy mirror as if they were being sucked into it.

I approached the fairy mirror and touched it.

I was not sucked into it. It was just like a normal mirror.

It was just me in the mirror, dressed as a bear.

I took the fairy mirror, carried it into the room where the Bear Transfer Gate was located, and hung it on the wall.

Just as I was done, I heard a voice calling me from outside.

I opened the door to find an out-of-breath Fina.

“Yuna Onee-chan, you’re back.” (Fina)

Seeing Fina made me feel like I was home.

“Fina, I’m home.” (Yuna)

“Welcome home.” (Fina)

When Fina smiled, I smiled as well.
