Noa Talking to Sakura
Noa’s PoV
When Yuna-san opened the door, it was a large room.
The floor was a strange greenish color.
Inside the room, there was a girl about my age was sitting in the room, together with a person about Yuna-san’s age nearby, and a beautiful girl at the back of the room.
The girl about my age was named Sakura, and although she said she was not, she was of royalty in this country. Why would such a girl be here?
I called her Sakura, and she called me Noa.
Sakura was wearing a light peach-colored outfit that I had never seen before.
She had a beautiful bearing, and I could tell by her tone of voice that she was not an ordinary child.
She may not have the right of succession, but she definitely was of royal blood.
Then there was the woman who, I think, was the oldest of them all.
Her name was Shinobu; she appeared to be Sakura’s escort.
And finally, there was the girl at the far end.
She was the girl Yuna-san had mentioned.
She looked younger than me, but Yuna-san addressed her as “Kagali-san” while Sakura, who had royal blood, called her “Kagali-sama”.
According to Yuna-san and Sakura, she is a very important person.
I remembered what Yuna-san said before we arrived here: Do not pursue too deeply.
Even I knew that there were things that it was better not to pry into.
So I decided not to ask about her any further.
After the greeting exchanges were over, we talked about what we were going to do, and I looked out the window to see a large lake.
Yuna-san said we were going to stay at this house today.
I was eager to go to the lake, but first, I decided to explore the house with Misa, Fina, and Shuri.
But soon I became curious about Sakura and called out to her.
“Would you like to go with us, Sakura?” (Noa)
“Are you sure?” (Sakura)
“Yes, because people who like Bears are our friends.” (Noa)
Sakura looked surprised, but quickly smiled and came over to us.
“Yes. If it’s not too much trouble, I’ll be happy to join you guys.” (Sakura)
Sakura walked alongside us.
“Fina, Shuri. It’s been a long time.” (Sakura)
“Yes, it’s been a while.” (Fina)
“Yes, Sakura nee-chan.” (Shuri)
Fina and Shuri were happy to be reunited with her.
“So you know not only Yuna-san, but also Fina and Shuri?” (Noa)
“Yes, Fina took care of Shinobu, and we also had dinner with Shuri and even took a swim together at the lake we just saw outside.” (Sakura)
That’s what happened….
As a member of the Bear-san fan club, I would like to protest to Fina and Shuri for not informing me, but even I understand that this was something I could not talk about.
It was sad that the existence of the Gate was kept a secret from me, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Even among nobles, some things remained a tight kept secret.
People who divulge information easily lose credibility, even if it were to someone close to them.
After all, no one would easily trust someone who gave away people’s secrets.
So I wouldn’t blame Fina and Shuri.
“We rode and played with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.” (Shuri)
Shuri happily shared.
“Hmm, you are right. We also played with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear at the lake, didn’t we?” (Sakura)
I couldn’t believe that they even played with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear at that lake.
I was envious.
Then Sakura gave me a tour of the building and told me about her relationship with Yuna-san.
She said that Yuna-san saved this country when it was in trouble.
If Yuna-san had not saved her, Sakura would probably be dead…
