Bear-san Explaining to Cliff

Noa and I explained to Cliff what had happened at the haunted house.

Cliff clutched his head in his hands as he listened to Noa, Primme, and me. He also looked at Primme again and again.

Primme’s appeared more visible after absorbing my magical power.

“…That’s why I need Noa’s help in finding this fairy’s sister. Can I take Noa with me? I will protect her.” (Yuna)

“Father, please. I won’t do anything dangerous. Just let me help Primme-san find her sister.” (Noa)

Cliff looked at Noa and then at Primme, who was sitting at the table.

“Haaah, a fairy. I never thought I’d see a fairy with my own eyes. Do you really need Noa, Yuna?” (Cliff)

“We still have to go to the fairy forest to confirm our hypothesis. But I think we will most likely need her help.” (Yuna)

The fact of the matter was that we would need to find out if Noa would be needed in tracking Primme’s sister before entering the fairy forest. Above all, I would like to respect Noa’s feelings.

“Granting a fairy’s wish. If we don’t grant the fairy’s wish, we will be unhappy or…” (Cliff)

“As I said to these girls. We don’t have the power to make people happy or unhappy.” (Primme)

“No, even if the fairies themselves don’t think so, if that’s what the legend says, I can’t deny that it’s impossible.” (Cliff)

I guess you could say there’s no smoke without a fire.

They may be making people happy or unhappy without people knowing.

“As for Noa, I will protect her. Moreover, we might find Primme’s sister sooner, and no other event may happen.” (Yuna)

“I’m not doubting your competence, not really. I’m just concerned about your tendency to invite trouble.” (Cliff)

“Invite trouble?” (Yuna)

What was he talking about?

“You, when you went to the sea, there was a Kraken. When you went to the royal capital, there were 10,000 monsters. When you went to the school festival, you ended up in trouble with the Knight Commander. The Golem when you were looking for Mithril. The same happened with the dessert case. There was also the strange person who appeared in the town of Euphalia as well when you went there. Wherever you go, there is trouble.” (Cliff)

Cliff listed the incidents I’d been involved in one after another.

“Ugh.” (Yuna)

I couldn’t refute him.

But still, it seemed like Cliff knew a lot of things that happened. Most of those cases were known to Ellelaura-san and the King, so it was not surprising that Cliff had heard about them.

There were also things that Cliff didn’t know about, such as the Elven Forest event, the trouble in the Land of Harmony, and the Slime event.

Certainly, everywhere I went, something was happening.

But…

“That doesn’t mean I’m inviting those troubles, you know. It was already happening before I arrived.” (Yuna)

The Kraken was already in the sea in Mileela before I went there, an acquaintance of the King caused the appearance of 10,000 monsters in the royal capital, and the commotion at the school was to protect Shia. The incident in the desert had already happened even before I arrived, and the case with the golem was simply a coincidence; all I did was defeat it.

The incident in Euphalia was also caused by a man who wanted to take revenge. In the Land of Harmony, there were signs of the resurrection of the serpent, and in the Elven Forest, I only followed along with Sanya-san when she said he was going to the Elven Forest.

I was not the cause of anything. It wasn’t my fault, you know.

“Yes. It’s not your fault. I just can’t help but feel uneasy about where you’re going.” (Cliff)

It was a normal reaction for a father.

“But at the same time, I know how many people you have saved. Without you, many of them would have been unhappy, and the same goes for Shia.” (Cliff)

With that, Cliff bowed his head.

“Take care of Noa.” (Cliff)

“Leave it to me.” (Yuna)

“I’m sure she’ll be fine with you.” (Cliff)

Cliff then switched his attention to Noa.

“Thank you, father.” (Noa)

“You are heading to Fairy Forest. And who knows what might be in there. Be careful.” (Cliff)

“Yes!” (Noa)

“Yuna’s instructions must be obeyed, and you must not act selfishly.” (Cliff)

“Yes, I will not leave Yuna-san.” (Noa)

She then hugged me, who was sitting next to her.

“Yuna, take care of my daughter.” (Cliff)

“I’ll protect her, I promise.” (Yuna)

“”Kuuunn.””

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were hugged by Noa and me, squealed as if to say, “We will as well”.

“Of course, I’ll also ask you, little ones, to take care of Noa.” (Cliff)

Cliff said to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in return.

“And Primme. I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t do anything dangerous involving my daughter.” (Cliff)

“No, I won’t. We’ll only need a little bit of help from her, that’s all.” (Primme)

Well, we wouldn’t be heading to a place where we would need to defeat some monsters.

But we should be careful about the possibility that the people who were with Primme’s sister could be dangerous. They could also be keeping Primme’s sister locked up. If that happened, a discussion wouldn’t be enough to settle things.

“Then we’ll need to prepare for Noa’s journey. Can you tell Lala to help with preparations as well? Lala may end up worried if you don’t tell her about the situation.” (Cliff)

“Yes.” (Noa)

Noa replied happily.

I was about to leave when I realized.

“Oh, what should I do about the Adventurers’ Guild report? If I told them, there was a fairy, it would cause a commotion, wouldn’t it?” (Yuna)

With so many eyes on us, it would not be surprising if someone thought of doing something bad.

Primme, she might be arrogant and naive, but it was not a good idea to expose her to the eyes of so many people.

Even though without my magical power, Primme would not be visible, there was no advantage in spreading rumors about a fairy appearing.

“I’ll deal with the Adventurers’ Guild as I see fit. I’ll also have them ban people from entering that mansion until you guys return, so don’t worry.” (Cliff)

“Thank you.” (Yuna)

Cliff seemed to know how to deal with this situation, and he was more than willing to keep the fairy thing a secret.

Leaving Cliff in charge of the Adventurers’ Guild, we moved to Noa’s room.

“What do we need?” (Noa)

“I’ve got the basics, don’t worry.” (Yuna)

We have a Bear House and a large food supply in my bear storage. Even if we were lost on a deserted island, we would have enough food to survive.

There would be no problems with food and shelter.

“I guess all you need is a change of clothes or something.” (Yuna)

I looked at Noa’s clothes and realized.

“Maybe you should change into something that looks like a commoner girl’s outfit?” (Yuna)

“Yes, that’s true.” (Noa)

Noa replied as she looked at the dress-like outfit she was wearing.

It would not be suitable for travelling.

This time we might end up travelling in the forest or going to unknown villages and towns on our search. Considering the situation, commoner clothes would be better.

“But you don’t change your clothes, do you Yuna-san?” (Noa)

“I always wear this wherever I go.” (Yuna)

It was too late for me to change that.

Besides, this time I had to protect Noa, so I couldn’t take my outfit off.

…I wouldn’t take it off even if I was alone.

“I feel like you are running away from something, but it is indeed better to wear clothes that are easy to move in, and I’ll discuss it with Lala when she arrives.” (Noa)

Not wanting to be pursued further about my attire, I changed the subject and asked Primme something that I was curious about.

“Anyway, why did Primme use the Fairy Water to come here? Why didn’t you use it to go to another village or town to look for her?” (Yuna)

“There is an old saying, ‘The Fairy Water will show you what you are looking for’. So I did use fairy water to find her. Besides, the only place I know where people live is a village nearby to the forest, so I can’t really think of other places.” (Primme)

I wonder if the fairy forest was in a secluded place.

Well, if people were nearby, it wouldn’t be surprising if the word about fairies spread more widely.

As we were talking about this, there was a knock at the door, and Lala entered.

“Young Lady Noa…I heard from Cliff-sama that you are going away…” (Lala)

Lala-san’s words stopped.

Ahead of Lala’s eyes was Primme, flying around us.

…

“A fairy…” (Lala)

We explained the situation to Lala.

“I see. So Young Lady Noa is going to look for a fairy? I thought they were just fantasy stories, but there really are fairies, huh?” (Lala)

Lala looked at Primme.

“But it’s going to be a hassle if Primme can be seen by just about anyone. Can’t you make yourself visible only to those you want to see you?” (Yuna)

This time, it was Lala who saw her, so it was fine, but there was a possibility of strangers seeing her.

From Lala’s line, it sounded like fairies were on a fantasy level. If someone saw Primme and told everyone about it, it would be a big problem.

“No, I don’t think I can do something that convenient. I’m just using your magic to make myself visible to other people.” (Primme)

“Then it will be a little inconvenient when we travel, you know?” (Yuna)

“What?” (Primme)

Primme puffed out her cheeks.

“In that case, please wait a moment.”

Lala left the room.

“I wonder what she was up to.” (Yuna)

“I don’t know.” (Noa)

Lala-san quickly returned with something.

“How about hiding here?” (Lala)

It was a cute little pouch, the kind that a girl would carry around with her.

“Since Noa-sama is wearing commoner clothes, I don’t think it would stand out if you had it with you.” (Lala)

“You want me to get inside this thing?” (Primme)

“You can’t?” (Noa)

“When we go out in public, I can just stop the magic from Yuna, you know?” (Primme)

“Then I won’t be able to see Primme-san, and I won’t be able to talk to you.” (Noa)

Noa looked a little sad.

“Ugh, I understand. I just have to stay inside it, right?” (Primme)

“Primme-san, thank you.” (Noa)

“Hmph, it might not be really necessary. But, it certainly would be a problem if I couldn’t have a conversation with you when asking about my sister.” (Primme)

Now she was acting like a tsundere.

“So when are you leaving?” (Lala)

“As far as I’m concerned, I want to leave soon, so will tomorrow be okay?” (Yuna)

“Then you can leave the rest to me. I’ll have everything the Young Lady would need by tomorrow.” (Lala)

Alright, I would leave that part to Lala-san.
