Bear-san Deciding to Help Prim
“Wait, where did my sister’s handkerchief go!” (Prim)
Prim climbed on Noa’s hand, trying to find her handkerchief.
“When I tried to catch it, it disappeared in my hand.” (Noa)
Even to my eyes, Prim’s handkerchief seed to have disappeared into Noa’s palm.
“You’re lying. It might have fallen on the floor.” (Prim)
Prim didn’t seem to want to believe Noa’s words and started searching around Noa’s feet. Both Noa and I crouched down to search but couldn’t find the small handkerchief.
“It’s not there. I finally found soone who could see and talk to . I thought I could go look for my sister…” (Prim)
“Do you have anything else of your sister’s?” (Yuna)
“No. I only have that.” (Prim)
Until a little while ago, when she saw and agreed to let go to the fairy forest, she was smiling. Now she looked like she was about to cry.
“Hey, did it really go inside your body?” (Prim)
Prim asked as she climbed onto Noa’s hand to check, touching it.
“I tried to catch it in my hand, but it disappeared when it landed on my palm.” (Noa)
“Noa, did anything happen to your body?” (Yuna)
Noa touched herself, opening and closing her hands.
“No, I’m fine… but I can sowhat feel sothing different.” (Noa)
Noa said as she put her hand on her chest.
“Hey, are you feeling alright?” (Yuna)
“I don’t know how to explain it. I can feel a different kind of magic power inside , a tiny bit. It is similar to the feeling I had when Yuna-san taught how to use magic before, and where you channelled magic power into my body.” (Noa)
I once channelled magic power into Noa and Fina’s bodies when I was teaching them how to use magic.
“But I could barely feel it. However, compared to the Yuna’s magic power entering my body before, the Fairy’s magic power did not disappear.” (Noa)
“Maybe my sister’s magic power has resonated with you?” (Prim)
“Isn’t that dangerous? Is there any risk of sothing strange happening to Noa?” (Yuna)
“I don’t think so, it’s not sothing that will affect Noa. It’s like having a bit of your magic power.” (Prim)
If it was similar to the way I channelled magic power to Noa and Fina to teach them magic, then it might not be that dangerous.
“The magic power is still in that girl’s body, then maybe… Hey, do you think you can tell us where my sister is? Do you feel as if you are connected to sothing from far away?” (Prim)
Prim asked Noa with a glimr of hope in her eyes.
Noa closed her eyes and put her hands on her chest.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know. But I do feel sothing. Maybe it’s because she’s far away, just like Prim-san said.” (Noa)
“Then, maybe, if you go to the fairy forest…” (Prim)
“Will you take to the fairy forest as well?!” (Noa)
Noa asked happily, thinking she too might be able to go to the fairy forest.
“No, you can’t.” (Yuna)
“Why not?” (Noa)
“It will take ti to find soone, let alone a fairy. I don’t think we’ll find her in a few hours. That ans you will have to stay away from ho for a while. And I don’t think Cliff would allow you to go to a place he doesn’t know.” (Yuna)
“Ugh, that’s true, but…” (Noa)
“Prim, I’m sorry, but that’s the reason I can’t take Noa with .” (Yuna)
Noa was not a child who could join on an adventure without permission. On the other hand, I could ask Tirumina-san to bring Fina along with without any problems.
But this ti, I would need Cliff’s permission. Besides, Noa was the daughter of a noble family. She was not soone who could easily go on an outing.
“I’m sorry. Because of …” (Noa)
Noa understood her situation and apologized.
“It’s not your fault. It was who made so much commotion that I dropped my sister’s handkerchief. You were just trying to catch that handkerchief so it wouldn’t fall on the floor.” (Prim)
“But…” (Noa)
“Yuna, I’m sorry. Even though you told you were going to help .” (Prim)
Prim apologized profusely.
But my feelings haven’t changed.
“I’m going.” (Yuna)
“What? But, we don’t have any clues.” (Prim)
“I can at least go to the nearby village or town and ask if there are sightings of fairies around. Your sister usually left the fairy forest after all, right?” (Yuna)
“Yes.” (Prim)
“Then, for now, we can just look around for nearby places where there might be people who can give us clues. There might be so information about people who have seen fairies nearby. But if there is no information, and we don’t have any ans to find her, we will have to give up.” (Yuna)
I couldn’t promise that I would be able to find her sister.
It might be possible to find soone if it was simply a human we were looking for or if soone might have seen the fairy.
However, even if soone had noticed that fairy, it would be all useless if they had kept quiet about it. There would be no information to work with, so it would be impossible to find her sister.
Without checking, we would not know anything at this point.
“Yuna, thank you.” (Prim)
For Prim’s sake, I really wanted to help her find her sister, but I also have a great desire to go to the fairy forest.
It was a give-and-take.
“…I’ll go, too.” (Noa)
Noa said with a look of determination on her face.
“If you really want to go, then ask your father for permission. If your father allows you, I will bring you with .” (Yuna)
“Noa…” (Prim)
“But if I, who is helpless, go with you, I might cause trouble for Yuna-san. I will do my best to avoid causing trouble. If I can help the fairies, I would like to help them. If father permits , may I go with you?” (Noa)
Noa had a serious expression on her face, not because she wanted to go to the fairy forest like or because she had impure motives. She was not motivated by a desire to go to the fairy forest like , but she seed to regret what happened to Prim, even though it wasn’t her fault.
“Noa, are you sure? We’re going to a strange place. It could really be dangerous.” (Yuna)
“I’m a little scared, but I’ll be fine with Yuna-san. Besides, I don’t want to be the kind of person who waits and does nothing when there is sothing I can do. But if Yuna-san thinks I’m a nuisance…” (Noa)
I looked at Noa’s sad face and then at Prim.
“Just to confirm, we’re going through that mirror to the fairy forest, right?” (Yuna)
“Yes.” (Prim)
“Can we take Noa with us?” (Yuna)
“The Fairy Queen said I’m only allowed to bring one person, so she’ll be mad if she finds out, but as long as we leave the fairy forest right away, I think we’ll be fine.” (Prim)
As a Fairy Queen, she probably wouldn’t overlook the idea of bringing a bunch of humans into the fairy forest.
Well, there was also the possibility that I could go ahead of Noa and use the Bear Transfer Gate to bring her with if needed.
If I decided to do that, then I would have to reveal the Bear Transfer Gate to Noa.
And also, if it was dangerous, I could use the Bear Transfer Gate to let Noa escape to a safe place. It might be just the right ti to tell her about the Bear Transfer Gate.
I was a little worried that she might tell Cliff or Ellelaura-san, though.
“Okay, let’s do that. For now, let’s go ask Cliff for a favor, shall we?” (Yuna)
“Yuna-san!” (Noa)
Noa’s serious expression quickly turned into a happy one.
A smiling expression better suited Noa, after all.
“But promise . Don’t do anything dangerous, and don’t act alone. If you really have to leave , then at least stay with either Swaying Bear or Hugging Bear.” (Yuna)
“”Kuhn.””
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear approached Noa.
“Yes. I promise.” (Noa)
If push cos to shove, I would just throw her inside the Bear Transfer Gate to protect her.
“I’m going to ask father for permission to go out for a while, so wait for .” (Noa)
“I’ll be going with you. He’ll believe if I explain it to him.” (Prim)
“Yes, you’re right. I’m sure father will believe when he sees Prim-san.” (Noa)
Indeed, it might be easier to convince Cliff if the fairy was right in front of him.
“If that’s decided, please take the mirror with you. Actually, I can’t get too far away from the mirror.” (Prim)
According to Prim, if she gets too far away from the mirror, the fairy’s water will lose its effect.
That was probably why the ghostly commotion appeared only in the mansion. If she wanted to find soone who could see her, it was certainly better to go to a place where many people might be around.
I picked up the mirror hanging on the wall and held it with both hands.
Surely, I wouldn’t be accused as a thief because of this, right?
“Yuna-san, is it heavy?” (Noa)
“Not really, I’m fine.” (Yuna)
It was big, but it would be easy to carry if I could store it in my bear storage.
But I didn’t know what would happen if I stored it, so I simply carried it along.
We left the supposedly haunted house and headed for Cliff’s house. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who have turned into cubs, walked along with us while Prim hid in Noa’s clothes because it would cause a commotion if other people found her.
As we moved along, Noa asked Prim.
“Prim-san was looking for soone who could see her, right?” (Noa)
“Yes, at first, I went to the nearest village to look for soone to help , but I didn’t find anyone who could see . I also tried to look for my sister alone, but she seed too far away for to chase after.” (Prim)
“Were you not scared? You were doing it on your own, right?” (Noa)
“It can’t be helped. I could only do it on my own even if I’ve hardly ever been out of the fairy forest, and I’ve only been to the nearby villages a few tis.” (Prim)
With such a small body, I guess it would have been close to impossible.
Even if she could fly, I doubt she would be able to fly as fast as a bird.
“Feeling hopeless, I decided to use fairy water to connect to a place where soone could find . It has always been said that fairy water will guide fairies in finding those who can see them. So I guess that’s why I ended up connecting to that fairy mirror.” (Prim)
“So Yuna-san and Prim-san were destined to et.” (Noa)
Noa said that without embarrassnt.
While listening to their conversation, we soon arrived at Noa’s house and went to see Cliff.
Cliff was working, but when he saw us with the fairy, his expression turned to surprise, but he soon understood the situation.
