Bear-San Reunites with the Harem Party

It was Rosa-san who hugged me.

We defeated bandits in the town of Mileela and met again in the desert.

After Rosa-san, Ran also hugged me.

I almost fell over, but I could stand my ground thanks to my bear gear.

“Why are Rosa-san and the others here?” (Yuna)

“That should be our line.” (Rosa)

“You are the real Yuna, right?” (Ran)

Rosa-san and Ran looked at me as if they were checking me out.

I also couldn’t believe this, so I reaffirmed, “It’s the real Rosa-san and her friends, right?” (Yuna)

“Yes, we’re real. I can’t believe we’re meeting Yuna-chan here of all places.” (Rosa)

“Thank goodness.” (Ran)

The two of them were so happy to see me again that it didn’t feel like they would separate from me anytime soon.

“Can you get away from me, for now?” (Yuna)

“You’re not going to run away, right?” (Rosa)

“No, I’m not running away.” (Yuna)

I couldn’t talk to them about the details with them holding on to me.

“Rosa, Ran, get away from Yuna. She’s probably troubled.” (Blitz)

“Yuna, long time no see.” (Grimos)

As I was having trouble with Rosa and Ran, Blitz and Grimos appeared, completing the full harem party with three beautiful women.

“Yes, it’s been a long time, Blitz and Grimos. The last time we met was in the desert.” (Yuna)

I haven’t seen them since then, so it has really been a long time.

However, I didn’t expect to encounter them here.

Maybe this place was closer than I thought?

“Yuna-san, who are these people?” (Noa)

Noa, who was behind me, asked, not understanding what was going on.

“They’re adventurers I’ve met a few times.” (Yuna)

“If anything, we are the ones who have been taken care of by Yuna.” (Rosa)

“We worked together to defeat bandits in the town of Mileela.” (Ran)

Ran added to Rosa-san’s words.

It was a few months ago, but it was a fond memory.

“I see.” (Noa)

“I’m Rosa. Nice to meet you. Um…” (Rosa)

“My name is Noire.” (Noa)

“Noire-chan.” (Rosa)

“I am Ran. Nice to meet you.” (Ran)

“Grimos.” (Grimos)

“I’m Blitz.” (Blitz)

Each one of them introduced themselves.

“So, Yuna, may I ask you something?” (Blitz)

“What?” (Yuna)

“Where are we?” (Blitz)

“…huh?” (Yuna)

Blitz’s sudden question left me confused for a moment. Why was he asking me “Where are we?”. I should be the one asking that.

“We have lost our way and ended up here somehow.” (Rosa)

“But since we have now met Yuna here, we can return to Mileela, right?” (Ran)

Rosa-san and Ran rejoiced.

Then Rosa-san and the others told me how they ended up in this town.

“So that’s why we don’t know where we are or how to get home. But meeting Yuna-chan, I’m relieved. I don’t care if we’re dropped in the capital or in Crimonia. I would appreciate it if you can tell us how to get home.” (Blitz)

Everyone looked so relieved.

Apparently, they thought I knew the way back to Crimonia.

Well, normally I wouldn’t blame them for thinking that.

“Sorry, I don’t know the way back.” (Yuna)

“What, why! Then how did you get here?” (Rosa)

“Maybe Yuna got lost the same way we did?” (Ran)

Rosa-san and Ran asked.

“Well…” (Yuna)

To explain that we came here using fairy powers, we needed to tell them about Primme, but it wasn’t an easy thing to talk about.

“Is it something you can’t tell us, by any chance?” (Blitz)

Blitz asked, perhaps reading the expressions on my and Noa’s faces.

“It’s not something I can’t answer. It’s just hard to say it here.” (Yuna)

“Then just answer me this: Will Yuna be able to go home?” (Blitz)

Blitz cut to the chase.

“…Yes, we have a way to get home.” (Yuna)

So, I answered them honestly.

We could go back to Crimonia, either by fairy mirror or by Bear Transfer Gate.

“What kind of way? Can we also use that way to go back?” (Rosa)

“If you are asking me whether we can use it, we can, but it won’t be easy. I need permission as well.” (Yuna)

“If you need money, I’ll pay you.” (Rosa)

“I’ll work hard.” (Ran)

“Well, it’s not about the money.” (Yuna)

“Are you saying that we can’t leave?” (Rosa)

“…” (Yuna)

Rosa-san and Ran became depressed.

“Yuna-san…” (Noa)

Noa pulled at my clothes when she noticed that I was in trouble.

To use the fairy mirror, we needed Primme. Moreover, we had to go inside the fairy forest, so we needed the Fairy Queen’s permission as well to use the fairy mirror. I doubt that the Fairy Queen would let four additional people in.

The Blitz and the others were not bad adventurers. If anything, they were good people. But that did not mean that I could take them to the fairy forest on my own.

However, that also didn’t mean I could just abandon my acquaintances who were in trouble in this strange land.

As a last resort, I could get Rosa-san and the others to return to Crimonia with Bear Transfer Gate.

“All right. I’ll tell you how I got here for now, but you have to keep it a secret.” (Yuna)

“A secret? Of course, I won’t tell anyone.” (Rosa)

“Yes, of course.” (Ran)

As I didn’t want anyone else to hear what I had to say about fairies, we decided to talk about it in the inn where we were staying.

When we returned to our room at the inn, Rosa-san, Ran, Noa, and I were sitting on the two beds, while Blitz and Grimos were sitting on the two chairs provided.

“Where should I start?” (Yuna)

“You can start from the beginning and tell us as much as you can.” (Rosa)

Then I should let the person who brought us here, it is time to come out.

“Primme, I’m sorry, but can you come out? These people are okay.” (Yuna)

“Really?” (Primme)

Primme emerged from Noa’s pouch and appeared in front of Rosa-san and the others.

“A fairy?” (Rosa)

“This fairy, Primme, asked us to look for her sister, and we used the power of the fairies in the fairy forest to get here. Using that power, we were able to move from Crimonia to the fairy forest, and from the fairy forest to this place.” (Yuna)

“So if we join you when you return to the fairy forest, will we be able to return home too?” (Rosa)

Primme replied, “No, you can’t. If I bring all of you back to the fairy forest, the Fairy Queen will be furious with me. She might not even let us in. Originally, she only allowed me to bring one person, but I ended up bringing two, making her mad at me.”

“Two?” (Rosa)

This time, I replied, “Noa is not from here. She came with me from Crimonia.”

“I see.” (Rosa)

Next, I explained why Noa came with me from Crimonia.

“So Noire-chan joined you from Crimonia to this place because the handkerchief filled with Primme-chan’s sister’s magic power went inside her?” (Rosa)

“Yes.” (Yuna)

“It must be hard for Noire-chan to come to such a strange place, even though she is still so young.” (Rosa)

“No, I’m fine. Yuna-san is with me along with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.” (Noa)

“You’re strong despite being so young.” (Rosa)

The way Noire acted could not be helped. After all, she was the daughter of a noble family. She was well-educated, she had associations with Fina, and she didn’t look down on commoners.

I have no idea if it was because of Cliff’s education or because of Ellelaura-san’s bloodline that caused this, but I think she was raised in a good manner.

“I understand how Yuna-chan and her friends got here. Ah, as expected, we can’t go home that easily.” (Rosa)

“I thought we could go home now that we’ve met Yuna.” (Ran)

“I guess, we don’t have any other choice.” (Blitz)

Rosa-san and the others looked at Primme and tried to give up.

“Well, if that’s the case, why don’t you just ask Yuna. She could–.” (Primme)

I quickly grabbed Primme.

“Yuna-chan?” (Rosa)

“Um…” (Yuna)

I smiled and tried to cover it up.

I had planned to use the Bear Transfer Gate from the beginning when I decided to talk to them, but my confidential disposition kicked in.

“If we can find Primme’s sister, you all might also be able to enter the fairy forest as a reward.” (Yuna)

“Yuna!” (Primme)

Primme was surprised, but I continued with my story.

“However, the location of the fairy forest is a secret, and so is the method of travel. I think you’ll have to be blindfolded as we travel to that place. If that’s okay with you.” (Yuna)

If we blindfold them and have them go through the Bear Transfer Gate, they would never know how they were transported.

Rosa-san and the others could go home, and I could keep my secret. That was a good idea.

Besides, if Rosa-san and the others helped me, it would be easier to get information about Primme’s sister. After all, I was just a strange girl dressed as a bear, and Noa was a child. Not the best choice when it comes to gathering information.

“If that’s what we need to do for us to leave, I’m fine with it.” (Rosa)

“The Fairy forest, and how to get there. I wanted to know.” (Ran)

“Alright, let’s have Ran stay behind here. After all, if the Fairy Queen is displeased with us, we won’t be able to go back home. We’ll be in big trouble.” (Rosa)

“That’s mean, Rosa. I’m a person who keeps my promises.” (Ran)

“Then it’s settled. We’ll help Primme find her sister.” (Blitz)

Rosa-san and the others agreed with Blitz’s words.

“I’m sorry to ask this, but are you sure?” (Yuna)

“We really want to go home, but I’d like to help Yuna-chan.” (Rosa)

“And I’m sure I can curry some favor with you.” (Ran)

“No problem.” (Grimos)

“Ignoring Ran’s comment, it’s always better to impress the fairies a little bit.” (Blitz)

The four of them agreed to help Primme find her sister.

[Yuna, what are you planning? We can’t enter the fairy forest even if they are blindfolded.] (Primme)

Primme said in my ear.

[It’s okay. I’ll use that gate. But I don’t want people to know too much about it, so I’d appreciate it if you can pretend that we used the fairy’s power.] (Yuna)

[Well, if that’s the case, I think it will be fine.] (Primme)

Primme understood my point of view and agreed with me.
