Bear-san, Moving Out

The next day, we convened at the Bear House.

Noa was dressed in comfortable clothes. Her clothes were patterned in red and white, which suited her well. She may not look like an aristocrat, but she exuded the air of a lady.

This might be because of her upbringing as a noble.

And on her waist was a pouch carrying Primme.

“I think it may have been fine to do it at my house.” (Noa)

“It is more convenient to do it here.” (Yuna)

“Is that so?” (Noa)

In theory, Primme should be able to move around anywhere as long as she was in range of the fairy mirror. So, we could have stayed at Noa’s house as Noa said.

But if I had to return using the Bear Transfer Gate, I would have to explain to Cliff how we returned without coming out of the fairy mirror. Things could get complicated if that happened, so I decided to use the fairy mirror in my Bear House.

I had to predict every possible outcome and prepare for it.

Although I didn’t believe what Cliff said was right, I do end up in trouble everywhere I go, in one way or another.

However, I doubt I would get into trouble this time too.

For now, I am in the mood to travel.

Noa didn’t seem convinced of my decision, but she didn’t press me too hard.

“Well then, Primme, please.” (Yuna)

After I said that, Primme approached the fairy mirror on the wall and touched it. The mirror shook like ripples.

“We’re connected. Let’s start with Yuna. Noa, please wait for a moment.” (Primme)

I ensured Primme was on top of my Bear Puppet and slowly touched the fairy mirror. Then, as if being sucked into the mirror, I walked through it.

“Where am I?” (Yuna)

I looked around.

“A lake?” (Yuna)

I was on a small island at the center of a lake. The lake was surrounded by what looked like a forest.

When I turned around, I saw a mirror-like object floating in the water, about the same size as the mirror we entered.

This was the water mirror, huh? It looked like we came out from here.

It was fantastical.

“It’s a lake in the fairy forest. I’ll explain the details later. For now, I’ll go get Noa here.” (Primme)

After saying so, Primme flew back into the water mirror.

I checked the map with my skill, but as I expected, the map was all black, showing only the location where I stood. I couldn’t zoom out, so I couldn’t even tell where I was.

While I was looking at the map, Primme came out of the water mirror with Noa.

“Is this the fairy forest?” (Noa)

Noa looked around, as did I.

“Noa, check first. Can you feel anything?” (Yuna)

I would ask her to return to Crimonia if she could not sense anything.

“Wait.” (Noa)

Noa put her hand on her chest and closed her eyes.

“I feel something in the distance.” (Noa)

“Really?” (Primme)

“Yes.” (Noa)

“Good. Then let’s get out of this forest.” (Primme)

Primme said and once again touched the water mirror. The water mirror collapsed, turning into plain water.

Apparently, fairy mirrors aren’t supposed to remain forever.

“But how do we get to the other side?” (Noa)

We were on an island in the center of a small lake.

“I can fly, but...I forgot to think about what to do after bringing someone.” (Primme)

Fairies could fly, but we couldn’t. I could use a certain skill, however.

I could walk on water with my skills.

“Primme, be sure and bring Ronne back.” (Queen)

“Yes.” (Primme)

“But if she is living happily, let her do what she wants to do.” (Queen)

“Yes.” (Primme)

Queen-sama, who had been talking to Primme, looked at me.

“You are Yuna, right? Primme is a bit of a goof, but she is a kind girl. Please take good care of her.” (Queen)

“Yes, I don’t know how much I can help her with, but I’ll do my best.” (Yuna)

Queen-sama then looked at Noa.

“You are Noa, right? I’m sorry to drag you into this, please take care of Primme as well as Yuna.” (Queen)

“Yes. I’m glad to meet you fairies, and I’ll do my best to help Primme-san.” (Noa)

“Fufu, thank you very much for your understanding. I apologize for not being hospitable enough, but the other fairies are already becoming frightened.” (Queen)

“It’s fine. I understand.” (Noa)

From a moment ago, I could see the fairies spying on us from behind the trees.

I think it was warm-hearted of them to let us into the fairy forest without much trouble.

“We’ll be going soon, don’t worry.” (Yuna)

The fairy forest... I have a desire to explore it, but if fairies dislike having humans here, it might not be possible for me to visit this place again in the future. If I could be friendly with them, maybe someday I would get the chance to check out the place.

“Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Primme, you also take care of yourself. And be sure to come back. I would miss you if you were to disappear as well.” (Queen)

“Yes, I will return safely. We’re going. Yuna and Noa, let’s go.” (Primme)

Primme flew ahead of us.

Noa and I bowed to Queen-sama and followed Primme.

“This way. If you get lost, you won’t be able to get out, so be careful.” (Primme)

“Really?” (Noa)

“This is the route that links the fairy forest to the outside world, you see? This area is called the Forest of the Lost by humans.” (Primme)

“The Forest of the Lost...” (Noa)

It was a scary name.

“That’s why you have to take the proper path, or you’ll get lost.” (Primme)

“So there are specific routes?” (Yuna)

“Yes, but I’m sure it will be difficult to remember.” (Primme)

I checked the bear’s map and found that the route was well-marked. If I didn’t stray from this route, I would be able to return to where we came from.

As expected of my bear skills.

And soon after, we exited the forest, revealing a vast clearing.

“Well then, what shall we do next?” (Yuna)

“Uh, wait a minute.” (Noa)

Noa put her hands together on her chest and closed her eyes.

Then, after a moment, she opened her eyes and pointed.

“I feel something coming from over there.” (Noa)

“Alright, let’s head in that direction.” (Yuna)

I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“I didn’t realize that those bears were summoned beasts. It is quite spectacular how they can grow big and shrink.” (Primme)

“Yes, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were both wonderful.” (Noa)

Noa praised Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear on my behalf.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear squealed happily at the praise.

“Okay, we’ll take turns on the ride, Noa, ride Hugging Bear for now.” (Yuna)

“Yes.” (Noa)

I got on the Swaying Bear and Noa climbed on the Hugging Bear.

“Okay, let’s go!” (Yuna)

After I declared so, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with me and Noa riding on them, started moving.
