Chapter 673

Bear-san Telling Noa about the Transfer Gate
“Hey, what about me?” (Primme)
I was about to take Noa to the room where the Bear Transfer Gate was placed when Primme called out to me.
“Am I intruding?” (Primme)
Primme looked like a child who had been excluded from the group.
“I’m sure you were listening, but I’ll just ask, can you promise not to tell anyone?” (Yuna)
I doubt she could even talk to any human, let alone about the Bear Gate.
“Not even the Queen?” (Primme)
“Yes” (Yuna)
If I was planning to place a Bear Transfer Gate near the fairy forest, I might as well brief Primme about it.
Besides, I doubt that anything would happen just because the Fairy Queen knew about it.
However, it was also true that it wouldn’t do any good for me if Primme informed the Queen about the existence of Bear Gate, so I made that request.
“For now, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk about it.” (Yuna)
If I were to talk to the Fairy Queen after the quest, I’d like to get permission to erect a Bear Transfer Gate in Fairy Forest.
“Yes, I understand. I promise to do the same.” (Primme)
Once again, we moved to the room where the Bear Transfer Gate was located.
The Bear Transfer Gate was placed against the wall as camouflage to make it look as if it were connected to the next room. However, unlike ordinary doors, the Bear Transfer Gate was large enough to make the room feel strange.
“This is a wonderful Bear-san door. Does this door lead to a room related to Yuna-san’s secret?” (Noa)
The door of Bear Transfer Gate was carved with a relief of a bear, so I did expect Noa to admire it.
“No, it’s not a door to a secret room. You see, this door leads to my house in Crimonia.” (Yuna)
Actually, each Bear Transfer Gate could be set up to connect different places, but that would be too much trouble to explain, so I just gave her a rough idea for now.
“…Yuna-san, is that a joke?” (Noa)
Noa’s expression seemed to be saying, “What are you talking about?”, so I was not sure if she would really believe me.
As expected, no matter how much I told her about it, she just would not believe me, so I had to prove my claim.
I opened the Bear Transfer Gate, and it led us to the Bear House in Crimonia.
To remove any doubt, I even asked Noa to look out of the window.
“…I can’t believe it. We really are in Crimonia.” (Noa)
Outside the window, we could see the sight of the town lights that had been lit. Previously, we were supposed to be in a place where the Bear House for outings was supposed to be located, which was in the middle of nowhere, so there was no way you would see the town lights outside if we were still in the same house.
“Are you sure it’s your town?” (Primme)
Primme stuck to the window and looked out.
“Yes, I’m sure. It’s the town where I was born and raised.” (Noa)
Noa had been to my house so many times that there was no way she could be wrong.
“Are humans capable of such fantastic things?” (Primme)
“No, I have never heard of a door that you can just open and go to another place.” (Noa)
Noa dismissed Primme’s statement.
So far, I had never heard of such a thing either.
“It’s a kind of magical tool. By connecting gates to each other, we can go back and forth to both locations. So, Noa, remember that if there is any danger, I will ask you to use this door to escape to Crimonia.” (Yuna)
“Yuna-san…” (Noa)
“If something happens, Noa’s safety comes first. So, when I tell you to enter this door, don’t hesitate to do so. Promise me.” (Yuna)
This one thing was non-negotiable.
Noa stared at me for a moment, then gave a small nod.
“Understood. I will follow Yuna-san’s instructions then. But I’m glad Yuna-san told me such an important secret, though I’m sorry I can’t even tell Fina.” (Noa)
“Fina knows.” (Yuna)
Not mentioning that Fina knew about the door made no sense at this point, so I told Noa about it.
“What?” (Noa)
Noa was surprised at my words.
“I told Fina about it before.” (Yuna)
“I didn’t hear about this from Fina.” (Noa)
She puffed out her cheeks a little.
“Well, I did ask Fina not to tell anyone about this. So it is to be expected that she won’t tell you about it as well.” (Yuna)
“Yes, but…. Is there anyone else who knows?” (Noa)
“There are a few, but the only people Noa knew among them would be Shuri and Tirumina-san.” (Yuna)
Noa did not know about Sakura and the others in the Land of Wa, or Mumulute and the elves, so I didn’t tell her about them.
“Shuri and Aunt Tirumina as well? I am disappointed that it is not a secret only between me and Yuna-san, but I understand.” (Noa)
“And by the way, I’ll give you this as well.” (Yuna)
I handed Noa my new Bear Phone.
Since I already let Noa in on the secret about the Bear Transfer Gate, she should also know about the Bear Phone. It would be a hassle to tell her later if I needed her to use it.
“It’s a cute Bear!” (Noa)
Noa happily accepted the Bear Phone.
“This is called a Bear Phone, and it’s a magical tool that allows you to talk to me from afar.” (Yuna)
Noa looked at the Bear Phone in disbelief.
I decided to let her test it out to see if it worked. But I couldn’t go out late at night when we were in Crimonia, so we could only test the device by having one of us staying on the first floor, and the other moving to the second floor of the Bear House, which was more than enough distance to test the Bear Phone.
After explaining how to use the Bear Phone, I went upstairs and tried to use it.
“Noa, can you hear me?” (Yuna)
[Oh, yes, I can hear you.] (Noa)
[Wow, I can hear Yuna from this bear.] (Primme)
I could also hear Primme’s voice, perhaps she was with Noa.
It was working properly.
“Using this magic tool, no matter how far away I am, you will still be able to talk to me.” (Yuna)
[Around how far away?] (Noa)
“It can be as far as Crimonia to the royal capital, we can still talk even with that distance.” (Yuna)
[Really, that far?] (Noa)
In fact, I could talk from the Land of Wa to Crimonia.
[So I can talk to Mother in the royal capital as well?] (Noa)
“If I am with Ellelaura-san, you might be able to talk to her. But this magic tool is also a secret, so please don’t leak the secret to Ellelaura-san or Cliff about it.” (Yuna)
[I am a little disappointed, but I do understand. If Father or Mother knew about it, they would definitely ask to be allowed to use it.] (Noa)
I also wanted to know if a magic tool similar to the Bear Phone existed. There might be one such magic tool in the royal family’s treasury, but that would be a very first-class magic tool.
I determined that such a magical tool on par with Bear Phone was not available to the public, so there was nothing good about spreading the word about its existence.
I then asked Noa to try it herself, and after confirming that it was connected to me, I returned to the first floor. Then Noa came up to me excitedly.
“Yuna-san, this is great. I could hear Yuna-san’s voice from this Bear.” (Noa)
“If you ever get separated from me, or if you are in danger when I am not around, use it.” (Yuna)
“Okay.” (Noa)
I may have to leave Noa in an emergency. There was also the possibility that she might get lost or separated from me. It was a good practice to be cautious about everything.
She may never need to use it, but that didn’t matter. I would not want to regret later that I should have told her about it earlier.
“That’s great. If only my sister had one of these, I could have asked her where she was?” (Primme)
Primme said as she flew around the Bear Phone Noa was holding.
Indeed, I agree. However, the Bear Phone could only contact me.
“By the way, does Fina know about this as well?” (Noa)
“Yes, she knows.” (Yuna)
“Ugh, she knew after all? Why didn’t she tell me about it? How come you didn’t tell me earlier?” (Noa)
“Because I didn’t want Cliff and Ellelaura-san to know.” (Yuna)
“I wouldn’t have told them if you asked me to keep quiet.” (Noa)
“I’m sorry about that. But you know, to show you my trust, I’m now revealing it to you.” (Yuna)
“Then I forgive you.” (Noa)
Noa smiled smugly.
“Yuna-san, like the door you just mentioned, where did you get this magic tool?” (Noa)
“It’s a secret where I got it. This is something I never told anyone, not even Fina.” (Yuna)
I couldn’t tell her that I could make them with the skills God gave me.
“Not even to Fina…I understand. I won’t ask for details.” (Noa)
Noa was as understanding as Fina, thank goodness.
“Well then, now that we’ve finished talking, let’s take a bath.” (Yuna)
“Yes.” (Noa)
I headed to the bathroom with Noa, followed by Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who had turned into cubs. And Primme, for some reason, also followed us.
“Humans like getting into warm water, huh?” (Primme)
“Don’t fairies do the same?” (Noa)
“We do, but only for bathing.” (Primme)
“Then why not just join us?” (Yuna)
“I can come along and join you?” (Primme)
“Well, I never mentioned that you can’t.” (Yuna)
While we took off our clothes, Primme’s clothes simply disappeared.
“Your clothes are gone.” (Noa)
“They are made with magic power, so they can disappear at will.” (Primme)
After explaining this to Noa, Primme flew after us and entered the bathroom.
Indeed, with her wings, she might have difficulty getting dressed.
“There’s hot water coming out of the bear’s mouth, Yuna really likes bears, doesn’t she?” (Primme)
I knew from experience that Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear would be sad if I denied that I really like bears, so I didn’t respond.
“The Bears are cute, right?” (Noa)
“Yuna, you look so different without the bear outfit.” (Primme)
Well, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were indeed adorable.
Then, we took a good bath to recover from the day’s exhaustion. Of course, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear joined us. We washed them to thank them for giving us a ride for the day.
Primme got into a tub of hot water and looked comfortable.
“Hot water feels so good, Yuna. The water is getting lukewarm, please.” (Primme)
“Yes, yes.” (Yuna)
I scooped up some hot water from the tub and slowly poured it into Primme’s tub.
Primme looked comfortable in the new hot water.
Then, slowly, we finished our bath.
“Oh, that felt so good!” (Primme)
Primme said, and then, poof, her clothes appeared.
It seemed she could change freely.
After drying Noa’s hair as well as Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, we moved to the bedroom.
“Yuna-san, can I sleep in the same room with you?” (Noa)
Noa asked, a little embarrassed.
We were far away from her home and her parents. Maybe she was anxious. She used to sleep with Fina when we travelled, but Fina was not here this time. I agreed, and we slept in the same room. Of course, Primme was also in the same room with us.
Noa slept with Swaying Bear, and I slept with Hugging Bear, while I made Primme a small futon bed in a basket, and she happily went inside the cloth in the basket.
I turned off the magic stone of light as I went to sleep.
