We are back in Crimonia.
Our quiet home.
I thought so for a moment.
"Ah, I'm back!"
"Where have you been?"
Fairies with bright, beautiful wings fly around us.
"Prim, Rhone!? Why are both of you here?" (Yuna)
"I came to play."
Prim starts flying around me and Rhone starts flying around Noa.
"Prim-san, Rhone-san, you came." (Noa)
"Yeah"
"We came to play."
The two appeal while holding hands.
They are good sisters.
I'm really glad I was able to help Rhone.
"Um, who are Yuna-onee-sama and Noa-onee-sama talking to?" (Misa)
Misa looks at me and Noa with a suspicious look.
"Ghost?" (Shuri)
Shuri gets scared and grabs Fina's clothes.
"Yuna-onee-chan, is Prim-san here?" (Fina)
Fina, who knows Prim, asks.
"Prim-san?" (Misa)
Misa looks around but doesn't notice Prim and Rhone.
"Prim, Rhone. Make sure these kids can see." (Yuna)
If I ask, Prim and Rhone will use my and Noa's mana to make it visible to Misa and the others.
"……fairy?"
"Tiny and cute!"
"Are you really a fairy!?" (Misa)
Shuri and Misa see Prim and Rhone and make a fuss.
"Prim." (Prim)
"Rhone" (Rhone)
"They're sisters. By the way, Rhone is the older sister and Prim is the younger sister."
"My name is Misana." (Misa)
"It's Shuri." (Shuri)
"Oh, you're such a polite kid."
Prim and Rhone fly around Misa and Shuri.
"I heard about it from Noa-onee-sama, but it’s really beautiful." (Misa)
"Yeah, really beautiful." (Shuri)
Misa and Shuri are looking at Prim and Rhone with shining eyes.
"Hehe, not that much."
Misa and Shuri praise them, so it doesn't seem like they're doing anything wrong.
Prim and Rhone are actually mysterious and beautiful.
"Well, unless they open their mouth."
Prim slaps my face with her small hand, but it doesn't hurt at all.
This is going to be a long story, so I move from the room where Bear's Transfer Gate is located to the living room.
"So, you say you came here to play, but did you get permission from the Queen?" (Yuna)
Because they had come here so many times, the Queen got angry and finally a ban was issued.
They came to introduce to Fina just before going out with Noa and the others.
"Of course we have."
"Since when have you been here?" (Yuna)
"Two days ago"
I'm glad we came back early.
If I had gone to a dwarf town or the royal capital, they would have had to wait longer.
Then they might have made more noise.
"Is this the mirror connected to Fairy's Forest?" (Misa)
Misa touches the fairy mirror with interest.
However, the mirror is no different from a regular mirror, so if you touch it, you won't be sucked into it.
The only thing reflected in the mirror was a beautiful girl with silver hair.
"So, where did Yuna and the others go?"
I tell them that we went on a short trip at Bear's Transfer Gate.
"I wanted to go too." (Prim)
"If only the Queen's permission had come sooner..." (Rhone)
Prim and Rhone look disappointed, but I think it would have been noisy and difficult if Prim and Rhone had also come, so I'm glad we left before they arrived.
Thank you, Queen.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"Next time, take us with you too."
"I don't know when I'll go." (Yuna)
"I'll wait no matter how many years."
That's right. These kids have a different sense of time, just like the elves.
"Okay, then." (Yuna)
I add in my mind, "If the timing is right."
"I'd like to go to Fairy's Forest where Prim-san lives." (Misa)
"I want to go too!" (Shuri)
Shuri also raises her hand at Misa's words.
"I'm sorry. I'd like to take you with me, but I can't bring anyone with me."
"The Queen will be angry at me."
"Yuna-onee-sama and Noa-onee-sama have been there before, right?" (Misa)
"Me and Yuna-san were only given permission to search for Rhone-san." (Noa)
She tells Misa and the others how we came to look for Rhone.
"That's what happened. But is it a forest with many fairies? It's mysterious, isn't it?" (Misa)
"Ugh, I wanted to go there too. I wanted to see a lot of fairies." (Shuri)
"Are you saying we aren't enough?"
Prim puffs out his cheeks in front of Shuri.
"No, Prim-neechan. It's just that there are a lot of fairies. I just wanted to see a lot of fairies." (Shuri)
Well, a single beautiful flower is nice too.
Flowers blooming all over the place are a sight to behold, and with a variety of beautiful flowers, you'll never get bored.
The sight of so many fairies in that forest was spectacular.
That's why I can understand Misa and Shuri's feelings.
"Sorry"
"Please do not worry"
"Yeah, I'm sorry for saying it was impossible."
Misa and Shuri apologize.
"I'm happy just to meet Prim-san and Rhone-san." (Misa)
"Me too!" (Shuri)
"Then you can look at it as much as you like." (Prim)
Prim flies around in front of Misa and Shuri.
"But don't tell anyone about fairies. If you make a fuss, you'll never see Prim and Rhone again." (Yuna)
There is a possibility that people who have heard about fairies will come to my house.
That's how rare fairies are.
"Yes, I won't tell anyone." (Misa)
"Neither do I!" (Shuri)
"Thank you"
Then, when Misa holds out her hand, Prim stops on Misa's hand.
"Prim-san, you went on a big adventure with Yuna-onee-sama and Noa-onee-sama, right? Could you tell me the story of that time?" (Misa)
"Yeah, okay."
Noa and the others didn't go home that day, but Prim and Rhone joined them and they had fun telling Prim's adventures.
Now, if Cliff asks me about the Fairy's Forest, I can use the excuse that I met a fairy and talked to them.
The next day, Prim and Rhone went home, and so did Fina and Shuri. I will send Noa and Misa to Noa's house.
"You've been staying a little too long, but Cliff isn't angry." (Yuna)
"I think it's okay. I told him it might be a little late." (Noa)
In that case it's fine.
When we arrive at Noa's house, Lala-san greet us and lead us to Cliff's office.
"Father, I'm back." (Noa)
"Are you back? Are you hurt or anything?" (Cliff)
Cliff takes his eyes off the document in his hand and looks at us.
"Yuna-san is with me, so it's okay." (Noa)
"Are you okay, Misana? I don't know what Gran-san will say if something happens." (Cliff)
"Thank you for your concern. I didn't have any injuries either." (Misa)
"So, what should I do with Misa? Should I just send her away?" (Yuna)
"Oh, please."
Gran-san and the others have returned to town, so I'm going to drop her off.
"Misa, it was fun. Let's go out together again." (Noa)
"Yes. Please invite me then." (Misa)
Noa and Misa hold hands and make a promise.
"Yuna-san, please take care of Misa." (Noa)
"I'll send her off properly." (Yuna)
I take Misa and leave Noa's house.
"Then let's go." (Yuna)
"Yes!" (Misa)
I summon Kumayuru and Kumakyu.
I ride Kumayuru and Misa rides Kumakyu.
Just go out of town.
Kumayuru and Kumakyu are well known, so even if I ride them around town, it won't cause any trouble.
However, some people are sometimes surprised when they see Kumayuru and Kumakyu, perhaps because they are from another city.
"Well then, Kumayuru, Kumakyu. Hurry up and go to Misa town. If you hurry, we can come back today." (Yuna)
"Yuna-onee-sama, please wait." (Misa)
Kumayuru and Kumakyu start running but stop.
"Yeah? What?" (Yuna)
"Um, why don't we go home slowly? It's my first time alone with Yuna-onee-sama. I want to talk to you while we go home." (Misa)
"I don't mind. Is it okay if you don't go home early?" (Yuna)
"It's okay" (Misa)
"In that case, let's talk slowly before heading home." (Yuna)
"Yes!" (Misa)
Misa happily replies.
Kumayuru and Kumakyu, the ride we're on, slowly drive towards the town of Sheelin, where Misa lives.
"Thank you, Yuna-one-sama, for telling me about that door." (Misa)
"I'm sorry. I couldn't teach you until now." (Yuna)
"No, don't worry about it. I understand that you couldn't talk about it." (Misa)
I head to Sheelin town while telling Misa about my adventures with Fina and my outings with Noa.
"So you went to the dwarf town with Fina-chan and Luimin-san?" (Misa)
"A lot of things happened and it was tough." (Yuna)
She heard about the dwarf town from Luimin and Fina when we went to the elf village.
As a supplement, I'll tell her a story about a blacksmith who created a weapon and an adventurer who handles the weapon, who were paired together and took a test.
Misa listens to this story with sparkling eyes.
Then, Noa and I went to support Shia's school's exchange party.
"Yuna-san also participated, right?" (Misa)
It seems like he heard about the exchange meeting from Noa as well.
"Yeah, it'll just take its course." (Yuna)
"I also wanted to go and support Shia-onee-sama and Yuna-onee-sama." (Misa)
"I won't be participating, though. If Shia is participating again next year, I'll bring Fina and Shuri along and let's all cheer together." (Yuna)
"Yes!" (Misa)
Only school officials are allowed to tour, but I think it's okay if I ask Ellelaura-san.
It was evening when we arrived at Sheelin.
