Chapter 712

Bear-san Heads for the Fairy Forest

They all saw us off as we left the town.

“Now we can finally go home.” (Rosa)

“That is, if I get permission from the Fairy Queen...” (Yuna)

I told that to Rosa-san and the others.

“What are you talking about?” (Ronne)

Ronne was the only one who didn’t know what was going on.

I explained everything to her.

After hearing it, Ronne replied resolutely, “I don’t think it’s possible.”

“Really? We’ve been told that by Primme-chan.” (Rosa)

“No human can enter the fairy forest. I can’t believe the Fairy Queen actually allowed even one human to enter the fairy forest. Primme, you did something so dangerous by bringing in two humans against the Fairy Queen’s decision.” (Ronne)

“Because, sister, you...” (Primme)

“But still. If things had gone wrong, these children’s lives could have been in danger.” (Ronne)

“Is that so?” (Noa)

Noa expressed her surprise.

“That’s just the worst-case scenario. Usually, we put humans who mistakenly enter fairy forest to sleep with sleeping powder and leave them somewhere.” (Ronne)

Ah, was it that the sleeping powder which Ronne used on me and Noa when she came to see Primme? Well, it didn’t work on me.

“That’s why I never told Ryan about the fairy forest. I was surprised that Yuna and Noa even met and talked to the Queen before that.” (Ronne)

It seemed that the Queen rarely appeared in front of people.

“I guess that’s how worried she was about Ronne.” (Noa)

“Umm, that’s... But there are more than a few fairies who leave the fairy forest.” (Ronne)

“Still, I think she was worried about you. You should apologize to her when we get back.” (Noa)

“Ugh.” (Ronne)

Ronne looked uncomfortable.

But I could tell that it was rare for the Queen to forgive them without a little punishment.

“So is it impossible for us to go home using your fairy powers?” (Rosa)

“I don’t know. Normally, I don’t think so, but I guess it depends on Yuna and Noa.” (Ronne)

“Well, in the end, we’ll have to go and ask the Fairy Queen for permission. After that, we’ll have to figure out what to do later.” (Blitz)

Blitz was right.

Either way, I was planning to use the Bear Transfer Gate to transfer them while blindfolded, so I didn’t need the Queen’s permission or anything like that.

However, it might be a good idea to tell Ronne.

I called Primme.

“Yes?” (Primme)

“Tell Ronne about the Gate in a way that the others can’t hear you.” (Yuna)

“Is that okay? It’s a secret, right?” (Primme)

“If it’s Ronne, it should be fine.” (Yuna)

“Okay.” (Primme)

Primme nodded and flew over to Ronne, grabbing Ronne’s hand and pulling away.

“So how are we going to reach the fairy forest? Even if we ride Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, all of us won’t be able to ride.” (Rosa)

Blitz, Rosa-san, Ran, Grimos, Noa and I. There were six of us.

If they were children, three people should be able to ride on each of my bears, but not grown-ups.

“We can’t return the horse if we borrow it, so are we going on foot?”

“I have a solution.” (Yuna)

After saying that, I pulled out the Bear Bus from the bear storage that I had made for the employee trip to the sea.

“What?” (Blitz)

“...!?” (Ran)

“A bear?” (Grimos)

“A bear indeed.” (Yuna)

Blitz, Grimos, Ran and Rosa-san were surprised to see the Bear Bus.

“It’s the Bear Carriage!” (Noa)

Noa, who knew about the Bear Bus, rushed to it with delight.

By the way, I think they wouldn’t get the idea if we said buses, so Noa called it Bear Carriage.

“A bear carriage?” (Rosa)

“Could it be that Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear will be pulling it instead of horses?” (Ran)

“”Kuhn!””

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear squealed in denial.

“No, that’s not it. This is moved by my magic power.” (Yuna)

“Something this big?” (Rosa)

Rosa-san and Ran walked around the Bear Bus, while Blitz and Grimos touched it.

“But Yuna really likes bears, doesn’t she?” (Ran)

“My body fell backwards, that was scary.” (Ran)

The Bear Bus was moving forward.

Noa was having a good time beside me.

Noa would probably enjoy riding roller coasters.

Primme and Ronne were holding on to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

I was thinking if I should make Bear Bus fly, but I kept my mouth shut.

The Bear Bus was going steadily up the mountain.

And then the Bear Bus crossed the summit and headed down.

“Yuna-chan! Please slow down!” (Rosa)

“Ugh, I’m falling forward.” (Ran)

“...” (Grimos)

“...” (Blitz)

“Don’t talk, or you’ll bite your tongue.” (Yuna)

Behind me, it was noisy.

Noa was saying, “It’s great!” “It’s fun!” and so on.

Noa, you were too strong.

Primme and Ronne were flying to avoid the vibrations.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were holding their seats tightly to keep themselves from falling.

Soon, we finally crossed the mountain and arrived at the flat land.

The bear legs changed to wheels and started running.

Behind us were Blitz and the others, looking exhausted.

“Are you okay? Do you need some rest?” (Yuna)

“I’m fine.” (Rosa)

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” (Ran)

“I’m fine.” (Grimos)

“I’m fine as well.” (Blitz)

“But Yuna-chan, is your magic power okay? Can you continue making this vehicle keep moving like this?” (Rosa)

“I’m fine. I can continue anytime.” (Yuna)

The Bear Bus picked up speed and started to run toward the fairy forest.

Thanks to the Bear Bus, we arrived near the fairy forest.

“We made it back.” (Ronne)

Ronne stared at the forest.

The fairy forest was at the far end of this forest.

For Ronne, it was her first time back home in years.

“Blitz and the others, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait here.” (Yuna)

We couldn’t take Blitz and the others with us.

I and Noa got off the Bear Bus and returned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to their original size.

“Yuna-chan, please.” (Ran)

“I trust you.” (Rosa)

Rosa-san and Ran looked at us with pleading eyes.

They might be worried that if the Fairy Queen refused our request, they would not be able to leave this land.

Well, I was already planning to use the Bear Transfer Gate before asking the Queen, so everything would be fine regardless.

“Well, I’m off then.” (Yuna)

Noa and I got on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, while Primme and Ronne flew ahead of us.

The Lost Forest.

If one entered normally, one could get lost, and they would not be able to reach the place where the fairies live.

If things go badly, it would even be impossible to come out of this forest for the rest of one’s life, so they say.

Even in such a forest, with the help of the fairies, we continued to go deeper.

Ronne’s expression was half happiness and half confusion.

After a while, we heard voices around us.

“Ronne is back,” “It’s the bear,” “The bear from last time,” “Report to the Queen,” and so on.

As we continued deeper into the forest, we came to the location of a lake.

When I saw this lake, I felt that we had finally returned home. This lake was where it all started.

“We have returned.” (Noa)

Noa must have felt the same way because she looked at the lake and said so.

But it was my job to get Noa back to her home in Crimonia.

While we were looking at the lake, Ronne reacted.

“Queen...” (Ronne)

I turned around and there she was, the Queen.

“Primme, Ronne, welcome home.” (Queen)
