The door of the Bear's Transfer Gate opened and was connected to Crimonia.
"Kumayuru and Kumakyu, help carry Blitz and the others." (Yuna)
"Kuu~n" (Both Kuma)
Blitz and the others were sleeping quietly in the bear bus.
In order to avoid waking up Blitz and the others, I slowly put him on Kumakyu's back and put him to sleep in the bedroom on the second floor of the bear house.
Perhaps the sleeping powder was working, but he didn't wake up while I was carrying him.
"Is this really a town far away from Fairy's Forest?" (Rhone)
Rhone looked out the window of the bear house.
"It's a town called Crimonia, and Noa is the daughter of the lord of this town." (Yuna)
"Is that so!?" (Rhone)
"Yes, but her father is not the kind of person who would do anything to fairies, so don't worry." (Yuna)
"I met Noa's father, and he wasn't a bad person." (Prim)
Rhone was glued to the window, looking out.
"So, how soon will Blitz and the others wake up?" (Yuna)
I asked Prim and Rhone as they covered Blitz and the others with a blanket and looked out through the window.
"It depends on the person's sleep status. People who are sleep deprived sleep deeply. People who get enough sleep wake up early. Sleeping powder is something that induces sleep for that person."
In other words, it seemed to depend on the person's physical condition.
If your body was tired or lack of sleep, it would last longer.
It seemed that if you felt well and got enough sleep, you would wake up earlier.
After all, I didn't know when Blitz and the others would wake up, so I would do the last job.
It was about sending Noa to Cliff.
"Okay, I'll take Noa home, but what are you two going to do?" (Yuna)
"I'm going. I have to thank Noa's father." (Prim)
"...I'm going too. This time it's my fault." (Rhone)
"I don't mind. It will cause a commotion if other people see you, so please hide in Noa's pochette or disappear." (Yuna)
"Then I'll disappear." (Prim)
"Prim-san is no longer visible." (Noa)
Prim seemed to have disappeared from Noa's eyes.
"But I guess I can see you." (Yuna)
"Yes. I can see Rhone." (Noa)
"Instead, Yuna can't see me." (Rhone)
Maybe I should say it now.
"Well, I was wondering when to tell you. I can see Rhone too." (Yuna)
Rhone was surprised by my words.
"It's probably a lie." (Rhone)
"I saw her when Riyan experimented. I didn't say it because I thought it would be confusing." (Yuna)
"So, does that mean Yuna-san is also a partner with Rhone-san?" (Noa)
I shook my head.
"It's not like I'm a partner. I think I can probably see all fairies." (Yuna)
"You're lying!?"
"It's just my imagination though." (Yuna)
If you had bear equipment, there was a good chance you would be able to see.
It was a cheat equipment.
But there was currently no way to confirm that.
I couldn't confirm that there were no other fairies here.
In fact, miraculously, it was only compatible with Prim and Rhone, and might not be able to see other fairies.
I couldn't confirm it now because I couldn't bring the fairies to confirm.
However, I was also curious about what the queen said.
A nostalgic magic.
Maybe it had something to do with it.
"It's cheating. Yuna-san is the only one who can see the two of you." (Noa)
It bothered me when people said things like that.
Maybe this was also a blessing from God.
I calmed Noa down and left the bear house.
"So I've returned to Crimonia." (Noa)
Noa looked around and said somberly.
"A lot has happened, but this is the end. I'm a little sad." (Noa)
If there was a beginning, there was an end.
When it was over, you could just start something new.
But I wanted to relax for a while.
"When I came back to Crimonia, I felt like I had come back to reality. Everything I had been through now seemed like a dream and a strange experience." (Noa)
Well, there were a lot of things that were far from reality.
Fairies, and maybe Bear's Transfer Gate for Noa as well.
As we were having this conversation, Noa's house came into view.
As soon as we arrived near the house, the gatekeeper noticed us, contacted Lala-san, and guided us to the room where Cliff was.
"Father!" (Noa)
Noa ran up to Cliff.
"You're not injured?" (Cliff)
"No, I'm fine" (Noa)
Noa smiled at Cliff.
Cliff also felt relieved when he saw that smile.
"I see. Anyway, it seems like you were quite late." (Cliff)
Cliff looked at me.
"Hey, there's a lot going on." (Yuna)
"Before we hear all those stories, what happened to the fairy thing?" (Cliff)
"Thanks to Noa, we were able to find her. Prim, Rhone." (Yuna)
When I called out, Cliff's gaze turned to Prim and Rhone, who were by Noa's side.
"I guess you were there." (Cliff)
"Yes, I thought I should thank you." (Prim)
"So, is that you sister's fairy over there?" (Cliff)
"It's Rhone. I was indebted to that child." (Rhone)
"It's great that she was found. Well then, Noa's role has been successfully completed." (Yuna)
"Yes, thank you for your daughter." (Prim)
Cliff looked relieved at those words.
"So, are you going to explain it to me?" (Cliff)
I told Cliff what I could explain.
"Is this a rampage caused by a human who loves fairies? To think that he would abandon his role as a lord and caused the residents to suffer." (Cliff)
"So, father. Do you know where there is a country named Sahel?" (Noa)
"I've never heard of it. There's a group of small countries across the ocean. It might be one of them. If you tell me the name of a large country nearby, I might be able to figure it out." (Cliff)
"There are things that even Cliff doesn’t understand." (Yuna)
"Local lords are like that. Even if they have anything to do with it, it's only with the neighboring country. And the country across the ocean has nothing to do with me." (Cliff)
If he told me that, I couldn't say anything.
It was no wonder I didn't know the names of countries that I was not involved with.
I also hardly knew the names or exact locations of small countries in the Middle East or Africa.
Even in Japan's prefectures, where were they? Sometimes it became like that.
Maybe only map enthusiasts knew the names and locations of all the countries.
Moreover, I didn't know how detailed the maps were in this other world.
"If you really want to know, you should ask Ellelaura in the capital. She will find out if you ask." (Cliff)
"Hmm, I'll ask her if I feel like it." (Yuna)
Actually, it didn't matter where that city was. Bear's Transfer Gate had been installed.
I had no plans to get on a boat and went to that city.
"One more thing. I have something to say." (Cliff)
"What?" (Yuna)
"Do you ever look at you and think you're strange?" (Cliff)
"Do you think I'm strange?" (Yuna)
Cliff looked at us, but I didn't seem to notice anything strange.
"I don't know. What do you think is strange?" (Yuna)
"How can you see fairies?" (Cliff)
"We were compatible. That's why most people can't see fairies..." (Yuna)
It seemed like he noticed that much.
Cliff stared at Rhone.
"Why can I see her?" (Cliff)
"Simply put, it seems like she and Noa were a good match." (Yuna)
"Noa" (Cliff)
"I'm not the only one. Yuna-san is compatible with both Prim-san and Rhone-san. I can't believe it." (Noa)
Cliff's eyes, which were looking at Noa, turned to me.
"Is it so?" (Cliff)
"It seems so." (Yuna)
"Who are you really?" (Cliff)
"I'm just an ordinary adventurer." (Yuna)
"If you need a mirror, it's there." (Cliff)
Cliff pointed to the mirror hanging on the wall.
I mean, look at how I look?
Even without looking, I know I was dressed as a bear.
Also, I was not an ordinary adventurer.
"Well, does that matter?" (Cliff)
"No problem. I just thought I'd let you know. Besides, I don't think we'll see Prim and Rhone that often." (Yuna)
"I'll come see you, okay?" (Rhone)
Rhone denied my words.
"Really?" (Noa)
"Because I promised Riyan that you would be my one to talk to." (Rhone)
It was definitely requested.
But I never expected it to come out of Rhone's own mouth.
"Not only sister, but I too will come to visit." (Prin)
So, it looked like the fairy sisters were coming to see me and Noa.
"Cliff, first of all, let me tell you that you shouldn’t spread the word about fairies." (Yuna)
There were people in this world who approached fairies with malicious intent. And sometimes a goodwill turned into a bad faith.
"I won’t say." (Cliff)
"Also, it's no good trying to research fairies." (Yuna)
"Who will do it!" (Cliff)
"What? Does that mean you're not interested in us?"
"How can that be? You guys are Yuna and Noa's friends, right?" (Cliff)
"Yeah"
"I consider myself to be a fair person. I have no intention of researching my daughter's precious friend. Above all, there is no point in picking a fight with that bear." (Cliff)
"So you'll do it without me?" (Yuna)
"Don't get complacent. Fairies can make people unhappy or happy. It's the actions of how humans and fairies interact. It's the same with humans. So I'm not going to do anything unless you guys end up harming my daughter." (Cliff)
To put it the other way around, if we did something terrible to your daughter, he would get to us.
Well, I guess that's normal for a father.
"There's no way I'd do anything terrible to Noa." (Yuna)
"I know. That's why I'm saying I won't do anything either." (Cliff)
Noa made a promise to meet Prim and Rhone.
Noa then happily told Cliff about her experience.
"Thank you, Yuna. I think Noa also had a valuable experience." (Cliff)
"I want Noa to become the daughter of a fine nobleman, so I hope it was a good experience." (Yuna)
"I'm already a fine young lady." (Noa)
Noa said proudly.
Cliff and I laughed at that.
Then, Noa started to feel sleepy, probably relieved to be home, so I decided to take Prim and Rhone with me and left Noa's house.
We returned to the bear house and came to the fairy mirror.
"Thank you, Yuna. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to save my sister." (Prim)
"It was tough, but I'm glad I was able to help." (Yuna)
In the end, I had Blitz kill the lord instead of me.
"Thank you Yuna and Noa. Thank you for saving Riyan." (Rhone)
Rhone also thanked us again.
"Are you sure you're not going to see Riyan?" (Yuna)
"...Yeah, I won't come to see him. I'm sure Riyan will come to see me. I'll wait until then." (Rhone)
I didn't know when that would be.
But I was sure Riyan would come to see her.
"Then I have to report to the Queen, so I'm going home." (Rhone)
"Yeah" (Yuna)
"Kumakyu, Kumakyu. Thank you, too. It felt so good." (Rhone_
"Kuu~n" (Both Kuma)
"Also, thank Blitz and the others too." (Rhone)
"I'll tell them." (Yuna)
"Prim, let's go." (Rhone)
"Yeah" (Prim)
She looked at us with regret and touched the fairy mirror.
"Yuna, I'll come see you again!" (Prim)
With that, Prim and Rhone entered the fairy mirror.
I approached the fairy mirror and touched it.
I didn't get sucked in. It was just a mirror.
The only thing I saw in the mirror was me dressed as a bear.
I took the fairy mirror and carried it to the room where Bear's Transfer Gate was located. I hung it on the wall.
When I looked in the mirror, I heard a voice calling me from outside.
When I opened the door, I found Fina out of breath.
"Yuna-onee-chan, you're back, aren't you?" (Fina)
When I looked at Fina, I think I had come home.
"Fina, I’m back." (Yuna)
"Welcome back" (Fina)
When Fina smiled, I smiled too.
Author's Note
I was going to write about the part where Blitz and the others woke up, but it seemed like it would end up being half-finished, so I'll end the story about the fairies here.
As I said before, I would appreciate it if I could take a break for a while.
To put it simply, the reason is that I have a lot of work to do.
I have written more details in the activity report.
