Chapter 754

Noa, Sharing Secrets

[Noa’s PoV]

“Haah, this is fun.” (Sakura)

Sakura exclaimed with a big smile.

“It’s fun for me too. Talking and going out with everyone.” (Ruimin)

“I can’t believe that we all live so far away from each other, and yet we are now here playing together.” (Sakura)

“Yes, I never thought Sakura, Noa, Misa, and Ruimin-san would ever talk together.” (Fina)

“I also never thought that I would get to know not only Fina-chan, but also Noa-chan and Misa-chan.” (Ruimin)

Misa, Fina and Ruimin-san shared their thoughts on my words.

“It’s thanks to Yuna-san that we can have such a magical experience.” (Ruimin)

“Without Yuna-san, I would not have been able to get to know and chat with Fina and Shuri, Noa and Misa, and Ruimin-san.” (Sakura)

Ruimin-san and Sakura looked at us.

“But there was one among us who had a magical experience and went from place to place with Yuna and got to know everyone.” (Noa)

Everyone looked at Fina.

“That’s because Yuna told me to keep it secret.” (Fina)

Fina gave a troubled look.

It was pitiful to tease her so much.

“Fina, I’m just kidding. Don’t give me that look.” (Noa)

“Fina-chan was just keeping her promise to Yuna Onee-chan.” (Shuri)

“On the contrary, if Fina had told Yuna-san’s secret, I think she would have been despised for doing so.” (Noa)

“Yes, because Yuna-sama trusted Fina and told her secret without getting bounded with any Contract Magic.” (Ruimin)

Fina’s face, which had a troubled look because of my and Misa’s words, now had a happy expression.

“But I think the reason why Yuna Onee-chan didn’t tell Noa-sama or Misa-sama about the Bear Gate is because the Bear Gate is too powerful. She said it may be used for wrong things if bad people knew about it.” (Fina)

“Wrong things… Yes.” (Sakura)

“Well, it is a Door that you can enter whenever you want once you place it at the desired location.” (Ruimin)

“And if Noa’s father finds out, he might think about using the Bear Gate to make more money. If that were to happen, I think it would take away the merchants’ jobs, and there would be no need for adventurers to escort the merchants, and there would also be no more riding wagons.” (Misa)

“If that happens, more people will lose their jobs.” (Noa)

I didn’t think my father would use that Door for such a thing even if he knew about it, but I was also unsure if he would.

“Noa and Misa, I don’t think any of your fathers would do such a thing.” (Fina)

Fina said to cheer me up, perhaps because Misa and I looked worried.

“…Thank you, Fina.” (Noa)

“I’m glad to hear you say that.” (Misa)

Father was doing his best as a lord and always worked with the welfare of Crimonia residents in mind.

I didn’t think he would take away the residents’ jobs just because he knew about Yuna-san’s Bear Gate.

“You two are doing great, even though you two are still young.” (Shinobu)

Shinobu-san, who was listening to our conversation, looked impressed.

“Also, you can use that Bear Gate to run away in case of an emergency.” (Shinobu)

“That’s right. When I was in danger, Yuna-san told me to use that Bear Gate to escape.” (Noa)

Yuna-san was going to fight the people who had captured Primme-san’s sister. I used the Bear Gate to escape to Yuna-san’s house in Crimonia.

As Shinobu-san said, one could avoid danger by fleeing far away.

“Also, if we are at war with another country, we can send our soldiers directly there without using ships, right? That Bear Gate can be used for good or bad.” (Shinobu)

That was what I thought as well.

When I went deep into the mansion to look for Primme-san’s sister, I thought about it when we took Blitz-san and the other adventurers back with us.

“That is probably the reason why Yuna-san only revealed the existence of the Bear Gate to whom she could trust.” (Noa)

“So she couldn’t simply tell us, who she had just met at that time, about it without precautions.” (Sakura)

Yuna-san also made a Contract Magic with Sakura, who was also still a child.

That was why I think it was not easy for Yuna-san to talk about such matters. To respond to her trust, I must guard her secret properly.

At first, I thought it would be nice to be able to go anywhere easily, but this could both be considered a boon or a burden depending on the circumstances.

I was able to reconfirm that it was not something I could easily talk about with others.

“So Fina-chan, who interacted with Yuna-san the most since she arrived at Crimonia, is the one who is trusted the most by her.” (Misa)

It was frustrating, but Misa was right.

Yuna-san always took good care of Fina.

“I’m number 2!” (Shuri)

Shuri raised her hand looking happy as she said so.

As far as I could tell, Shuri was indeed the second to know about the Bear Gate’s secret.

“We may not be the only ones who know about the Bear Gate.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin-san chimed in.

“I just found out today that Fina-chan and Shuri-chan know about the Bear Gate.” (Ruimin)

“I only found out recently.” (Noa)

I didn’t think Yuna-san would have told me about the Bear Gate if it weren’t for the fairy incident.

“I only found out a few days ago, too.” (Misa)

Misa said.

“Fina, what other things do you know that we don’t?” (Noa)

I asked Fina, who seemed to know the most about Yuna-san.

“Well, I only know about what she told everyone.” (Fina)

“I see.” (Noa)

“I don’t know if she has told anyone else about the Bear Gate, but she did tell my uncle about it. That’s why he gave that mansion to Yuna-sama so that she could use the Bear Gate freely in the mansion” (Sakura)

If the mansion was far away from the castle town, it wouldn’t look suspicious even if she went in and out of the place. Maybe that’s why it was given to her and she accepted it.

“I don’t know who else knows about that Bear Gate.” (Fina)

Shuri raised her hand as she said.

“Shia Onee-chan!” (Shuri)

“Big Sister? My Big Sister knew!” (Noa)

I was shocked that she knew before I did.

“Oh, um, Shia-sama knows about the existence of the Bear Gate, but she doesn’t know that you can go to far away places using it.” (Fina)

Fina corrected Shuri’s words.

She explained why my sister knew about the Bear Gate and why she didn’t know that the Bear Gate could bring her to far away places.

It seemed that it happened when she went with Fina and the children from the orphanage to visit Mileela.

There, Fina and my sister were told to hide by Yuna-san when they went to the floating island, and they were attacked by monsters. At that time, Yuna-san used the Bear Gate to let Big Sister escape to a far away place.

That was what happened when they went out that time, huh?

Yuna-san did not tell the rest of us about that incident because she did not want us to worry.

“Shia-sama thinks it was just a sturdy room next door.” (Fina)

“But in reality, my sister was brought to a far away place from that floating island. So my sister has seen and even used that Bear Gate, but she doesn’t know that it actually moved her to another place?” (Noa)

“Yes.” (Fina)

After that, we talked about many things. Then I made a personal decision.

“Sakura, Ruimin-san, may I have a word?” (Noa)

“Yes?” (Sakura)

“Yes.” (Ruimin)

“This is my gift to you as a token of our friendship.” (Noa)

I offered Sakura and Ruimin-san a card.

“What is this?” (Sakura)

“This is a certificate of love for Bear-san.” (Noa)

“It’s a Bear-san fan club card.” (Shuri)

Shuri answered before I could explain.

I wanted to say that.

“Membership number 8.” (Sakura)

“I’m 9.” (Ruimin)

Sakura was number 8 and Ruimin-san was number 9.

“Member number 1 is me, the president. And number 2 is Fina, the vice president. (Noa)

“I am number 3.” (Misa)

“I am number 4!” (Shuri)

Everyone showed their membership cards.

They carried their membership cards with them.

That’s great.

“By the way, member number 5 is a girl named Sherry, who made the stuffed animals of Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan that were in Sakura’s room, number 6 is my sister, and number 7 is my mother.” (Noa)

“So that’s all the members. I thought there were a lot of them since you said you were aiming for 10,000.” (Fina)

Fina said.

“At first I also tried to give it to the people who admire Yuna-san, Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan. But then, there is a possibility that Yuna-san will find out.” (Noa)

“So you still plan to keep it hidden.” (Sakura)

“Because it’s unauthorized.” (Noa)

“I think Yuna-san might already be aware of it.” (Fina)

Fina’s words fell on deaf ears.

“Besides, at some point, I felt that there is some information that I can share with everyone here but not with others.” (Noa)

“Yes, that’s true. Like right now.” (Sakura)

“So I decided to make only those who know Yuna-san’s secret a member.” (Noa)

“Then it will not be possible to reach 10,000 members, right?” (Sakura)

“Yeah. At first I tried to expand the fan club, but as I said, there were some things I couldn’t talk about easily. However, that would be discriminating members as the president of the Bear-san fan club. I felt that was not good. So I decided to only create a fan club for those who know Yuna-san’s secrets.” (Noa)

“Sherry-chan, Shia-sama, and then Ellelaura-sama didn’t know…” (Fina)

“Let’s put that to the side for now. Let it be temporary.” (Noa)

I am sorry, sister and mother.

I apologized in my heart.

“Thank you. I will take good care of it.” (Sakura)

“If anyone ever goes to the Land of Wa, please let me know as well.” (Noa)

I would have to make a report about this time as well.

But if someone saw it, it might become a problem, so I have to think about how to deal with it.

“Well, am I included in this as well?” (Shinobu)

Shinobu-san asked, looking at the Bear-san fan club membership card.

“Well, Shinobu-san is an enemy of Yuna-san? A rival, and she doesn’t like Bear-san, so…” (Noa)

This was called Bear-san Fan Club, but it was also Yuna-san Fan Club.

“That’s not true. I love bears.” (Shinobu)

Shinobu-san hugged Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan.

“”Kuu~n!””

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear-chan shook their heads in denial.

“That’s terrible. I love bears. You know.” (Shinobu)

We all agreed not to grant Shinobu-san the Bear-san Fan Club membership card.

After all, Yuna-san did say that Shinobu-san was acting a little fishy all the time.
