Chapter 711
Bear-san Bids Farewell
After cleaning up the mess of the situation, we were ready to return to Crimonia.
I would say that the cleanup was over for us, but it was just getting started for others.
The Guilds and the influential people of the town were discussing the future.
With Lord Bellung’s death, no one was left to rule the town.
Since Bellung did not seem to have any siblings, according to the Guild Master, a distant relative of the Lord may be the one to take over the town as a ruler.
We decided to leave the town after hearing that Bellung’s distant relative would be visiting soon.
Blitz was now a hero in town, but he was also the one that killed the Lord.
Although he was not going to be captured now, there was a good chance that Blitz would be captured if Bellung’s relative came to the town.
No matter what the reason, killing a Lord was unforgivable. And if the other party were a nobleman, it would even be a bigger deal. Even if said nobleman did something wrong.
There was a possibility that they would be executed as criminals.
In this town, the influences of my acquaintances were also limited.
If this were in the area near Crimonia, where I live, or in the royal capital, many people would lend me a hand, but in this unfamiliar land, nothing would be of use.
We had no choice but to leave the town.
“Blitz, I’m sorry.” (Guild Master)
The Guild Master apologized for putting all the blame on Blitz this time.
“Don’t worry about it, I’m not from this country. If anyone has to take the blame, it should be me. The Guild Master and the others are the ones this town needs. Besides, I’m the one who ultimately killed the Lord, so it’s not exactly wrong.” (Blitz)
It was because I could not kill Bellung.
If Blitz had not come, I might have killed him.
Not only did Blitz have to bear the responsibility, but he would also have to bear the weight of killing a person.
“Sorry about that.” (Guild Master)
“Guild Master, I’m counting on you to take care of the town.” (Blitz)
“Yeah, I’ll take care of it.” (Guild Master)
We would not be involved in what the town would do from now on. It would be the Guild Master, Carla-san, and the residents of this town who would have to work hand in hand to move in the right direction.
We could only hope that the relative of Bellung, who would rule this town, would be a good person.
Not all the nobles were good.
I remembered the Lord who ruled the town where Misa lived. A lord who looked like a toad and did terrible things to Misa’s family. I hope this new Lord would not be like that.
“And thank you, Yuna and Lady Noire. Without you girls, this whole thing wouldn’t have been a success.” (Guild Master)
“Well, it’s just that my goal and the Guild Master’s goal were the same.” (Yuna)
Our goal was to take Primme’s sister, Ronne, with us.
I would have done the same thing even if the Guild Master had not asked me to.
Noa added, “Yes, I just did what I could.”
I would not have found Ronne if Noa had not come with me. And even if I had, it wouldn’t have been this easy.
With that in mind, Noa may have been the one who contributed the most this time.
“Maybe for Lady Noa, it didn’t mean much, but it was with your help that Primme managed to come all the way here and speak with Ronne. We couldn’t have done this without you, missy.” (Guild Master)
“At first, I was surprised when a cute girl dressed as a bear came to sell me monster materials. I didn’t expect her to save the town.” (Carla)
When I first met Carla-san, I lied to her because I didn’t know what was happening.
Sorry about that, but I had no choice.

“Well then, should we get going?” (Yuna)
“Where are Primme-chan and Ronne-chan?” (Rosa)
Rosa-san looked around.
“Ronne is saying goodbye to Ryan, and I think Primme is with her.” (Yuna)
Ronne was going back to the fairy forest.
So she went to bid Ryan goodbye for the last time.
We didn’t know when she would see him again, so we gave them some time together.
With that in mind,
“Yuna!” (Primme)
Primme flew in.
“What’s wrong?” (Yuna)
“Ryan wants to talk to you, and then Blitz and the others.” (Primme)
“Us as well?” (Blitz)
We went to Ryan’s room.
“I’m sorry to call you here.” (Ryan)
Ryan-san was up and sitting on his bed.
His health was improving day by day, but with all the blood that had been spilled and the fact that he had been sleeping in a coma for so long, it would take a while before he could move around again.
“You are leaving today, right?” (Ryan)
“Yes, it looks like some noble is coming to replace the Lord.” (Yuna)
“I’m so sorry I didn’t get a chance to thank you.” (Ryan)
Ryan-san bowed his head.
Ryan had already thanked us many times for saving his life, stopping Bellung, and protecting Ronne.
But I believe that Ryan-san had a hard time forgiving himself.
From now on, he would shoulder responsibility and repercussions for his actions.
“If you are sorry, then do your best for this town.” (Yuna)
“Yes. I will spend the rest of my life taking responsibility for what I and Bellung have done.” (Ryan)
I wonder if this would be easy.
But it may have helped that the residents didn’t know about Ryan-san, since he had been lying in the basement for so long.
If they knew that Ryan and Bellung researched fairies together, Ryan would not have been able to work for the town. Even if he managed to work here, he would have been kicked out immediately if he did poorly.
“I will not forget this favor.” (Ryan)
“Then promise me one thing. That you will never study fairies again.” (Yuna)
I got rid of all the fairy-related research materials and spells, but there was one thing I couldn’t get rid of.
That was Ryan-san.
Ryan-san’s head and body still contained things related to fairy research. If Ryan-san resumed his research, he could become a second Bellung.
“I promise you. I will never do research again. I will not tell anyone. I am not going to keep any documents. That is also my promise to Ronne. If I ever perform research on fairies, please come and kill me.” (Ryan)
“I don’t want that kind of trouble.” (Yuna)
Killing someone was no easy task.
If I had to dye my hands in blood, I should be prepared to see the person I killed in my dreams.
I didn’t want to go through that kind of hassle.
Ryan-san smiled at my response and turned to Noa, standing beside me.
“And, Noire-chan, is that correct?” (Ryan)
“Yes.” (Noa)
“Thank you for finding Ronne.” (Ryan)
“No, it just so happens that Ronne-san’s handkerchief went inside me, and I started to sense her location.” (Noa)
“Still, it must have taken a lot of courage for a little girl like you to go to a place so far away from home.” (Ryan)
“That’s because Yuna-san was with me. Without her, I don’t think I would have been able to show up.” (Noa)
Noa grabbed my arm.
“There is one last thing I want Noire-chan to confirm…” (Ryan)
“I beg your pardon?” (Noa)
“Right now, Ronne is using my magic to make herself visible to others. Let us see if you can see her without my magic.” (Ryan)
“Ryan?” (Ronne)
Ronne looked surprised.
“Ronne, please.” (Ryan)
“…Okay. I’ll stop using Ryan’s magic then.” (Ronne)
She said that, but Ronne’s figure did not disappear.
But the reaction of the others was different.
“Ronne-chan is gone.” (Rosa)
“I can’t see her.” (Ran)
Rosa-san and Ran were looking at where they last saw Ronne, but they couldn’t see her anymore.
“Yeah, I can’t see her either.” (Blitz)
Blitz was in the same state.
But I could see Ronne.
Ryan asked Noa softly, “How’s that? Can you still see Ronne?”
Noa stared at the place where Ronne was.
Ronne was also looking at Noa.
“I can see her, yes.” (Noa)
“I see. Thank you.” (Ryan)
“What is the meaning of this?” (Noa)
“It means that you can see Ronne just as well as I can.” (Ryan)
“Is it because Ronne-san’s handkerchief is inside me?” (Noa)
I thought so too, but Ryan shook his head.
“No, Primme-san’s handkerchief didn’t go inside your body when it landed on your hand. You were compatible with Ronne from the beginning. That’s why you could somehow absorb the magical essence from Ronne’s handkerchief into your body.” (Ryan)
In other words, not only one person could be compatible with a particular fairy; there could be other people, too.
“I’m one…” (Noa)
Noa looked at the hand that received Ronne’s handkerchief.
“Now I feel relieved, Noire-chan, please. I want you to see Ronne once in a while and talk to her.” (Ryan)
“I’ll…” (Noa)
“Ronne is a loner.” (Ryan)
“I’m not a loner. But if you insist, I’ll see you once in a while.” (Ronne)
Ronne said in a tsundere-like tone.
Noa looked at Ronne and smiled gently.
“Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Ronne-san.” (Noa)
Then, even with Noa’s magic, Ronne’s figure became visible to everyone, and Ran was envious.
I shouldn’t tell them I could also see her here, right?
If I reveal it to them, it would obviously cause some trouble.
It was definitely an effect of my bear outfit that I could see Ronne.
Then we said our final goodbyes and left the Adventurers’ Guild.
The Guild Master, Carla-san, the other guild members, and the remaining adventurers in town. Everyone saw us off.
“Thank you very much again from the bottom of my heart.” (Guild Master)
“Yuna-chan, Noire-chan, if you ever stop by town, please don’t hesitate to drop by.” (Carla)
Carla-san and the others did not know where we were going, since we had yet to tell them about it.
I did not set up a Bear Transfer Gate near town as I could not explain it, but I would set up one near the fairy forest.
With Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, we would be able to reach this place in less time than before.
So, I said, “I will come back.”
