Well, enjoy!
Ch. 12: Novoselic e no tōchaku
About an hour after departing from Japan, you can see the airplane flying as it is now past the Asian continent, and the airplane has several hours left before reaching Europe, and the scene shifts inside where you can see Naegi sitting on the seat next to the window, watching the skies and beside him was Sonia, and there the two teens are chatting, in which they are having a good time as she tells him about Novoselic, its culture, and its landmark, which piqued his interest as he wondered what to expect there once he and Sonia arrive.
As the two teens are talking, they were unaware that some of the passengers are residents of Novoselic, and they recognized Sonia as the princess, and were intrigued at seeing her sitting next to Naegi and wondered if he is just a friend or if he is Sonia's suitor, which the passengers whispered among themselves speculating the relationship between the two, which sparked a gossip that soon spread to the social media within Novoselic.
"Look…"
"It's princess Sonia…"
"How lovely she is…"
"Who's that boy?"
"Is he a friend of hers?"
"Must be a suitor…"
"Look how close they are…"
"I bet they are dating…"
Neither Sonia or Naegi are aware of this as they continued to talk and enjoy each other's company while their flight is ongoing, and Sonia is hoping that their vacation would not encounter any problem, though she has no idea that their problem has begun.

At Novoselic, the scene shifts at the Royal Palace, where the King and Queen are directing their staff to prepare everything as Sonia will arrive in four hours, and while the Queen is happy to see her daughter coming home for a vacation, the King felt that something unexpected might happen, and hoped that things would go well without incident, yet the Queen can see her husband getting a bit stressed out and tries to get him to relax and calm him down a bit.
"My love…why are you so stressed up?"
"Well, my dear…I always look out for our family…and for the country…"
"Then why…?"
"I am worried that the paparazzi would make a big deal out of Sonia if they see her do something weird…"
"Oh, you worry too much…it's good that she is coming here for a vacation before she heads back to Japan…"
"That is what worries me…we do not know what she is doing there while we are not watching her…"
"Now, now…Sonia is old enough to know what is right or…"
"But still…"
However, the chancellor came running in, and panted upon facing the king, and when the king asks the chancellor what is wrong, he is told that rumors began spreading about Sonia having a possible suitor, if not lover. The chancellor showed to the king the cellphone where it showed the pictures about Sonia and Naegi close together, and this made the king quite concerned, as he wanted Sonia to have a lover who is also of Royal Blood and not a COMMONER, which the chancellor urged him to discipline Sonia once she arrives at the royal palace.
"Sire! Heed my advice! Once Sonia arrives, have her grounded to her room! She must be re-educated and follow the traditions of Novoselic!"
"Well…"
"Please, sire! The reputation of the Royal Family is on the line!"
"I…see…"
"And that boy in the cellphone…he must be deported at once…"
"But…"
"He may be a spy…intending to woo your daughter so he may have access to the palace and…"
"!"
The queen heard this and felt that the two men are overreacting and she told the chancellor not to jump to conclusion saying that the ones who took the pictures may have misunderstood what they saw, but the chancellor insisted that Sonia must know her place and should act like the royal princess and not like a peasant, pointing out that Naegi may be a bad influence thus he must be deported back to where he came from, but the queen sternly told the chancellor that he has no right controlling Sonia's action like that, and he should respect Sonia's decision on who she want to be with.
"But your majesty…!"
"Look here!"
"Huh?"
"My daughter is old enough to choose who she wants to hang out with! And if she thinks that the boy she is with is only a friend, so be it!"
"But…what if he is a spy? What if he has an ulterior motive towards your daughter?"
"Then let us wait till Sonia arrives, then we will get the answers from her…but for now, you will do no such thing!"
"But…"
"That is my word!"
The king sighed as he never thought that problems like these would appear all of the sudden, and he hoped that Sonia would not act rebelliously once she arrive home, as he intend to have a word with her later.

Four hours later...
The scene shifts at the Novoselic International Airport, where Sonia and Naegi arrived, and the Luckster is surprised to see many people approaching and greeting Sonia, seeing that she is well-recognized in her country and is somewhat popular as many lined up to shake her hand which Sonia happily obliges as she greeted her countrymen, residents and tourists.
"Princess Sonia!"
"Welcome back!"
"Hello…"
"You are so graceful…"
"We are glad to have you as Novoselic's princess"
"Oh, please…we are all equal here…"
"Of course not…you are the future ruler…"
"And we hope you would lead us to greatness…"
Naegi smiled seeing that she is adored by her countrymen, and understood why she was given the title of SHSL Princess, yet he felt quite out of place since he is a foreigner accompanying Sonia here, and hoped that he won't be noticed, as he dislike being stand out, and he just stood there waiting for Sonia to finish greeting her people.
However, he noticed that some of the passengers are backing away from him, and when Naegi turned around, he stared in shock seeing a Caucasian-furred bear standing behind him, and you can hear the other passengers showing worried reactions as they try to stay calm and urges Naegi to stay calm and not provoke the bear so he won't be attacked, as some called for security to come to Naegi's aid as they are worried for him.
"Boy…stay still…"
"Don't provoke that bear…"
"Help is on the way!"
"Stay calm…"
"Everything will be okay…"
"Oh boy…I just arrived at Novoselic and now BAD LUCK followed me here…"
"Where are the guards?"
"That boy needs help!"
However, Naegi blinked his eyes as he noticed that he has seen the bear before, and saw the bear wearing a black, shoulder-length wig, a fake moustache, and when Naegi looked downward, he noticed the bear wearing long tights and his face printed at the crotch area, and there the bear placed his paws behind his head and swayed his hips in a circular motion, which Naegi realized that it was the same bear he encountered in Tokyo.
"Oh no…not again…!"
Sonia was equally surprised as she wondered how the bear, cosplaying a Rick Rude, ended up at Novoselic, and she tells Naegi to run for it, which the Luckster is more than willing to oblige, not wanting to experience another embarrassing moment.
"Naegi-san!"
"Uh…"
"You better run for it!"
"Uh…"
"Hurry!"
"I'm on it!"
"Why is that bear doing here?"
"Don't ask me!"
As Naegi is about to make a run for it, the bear grabbed Naegi, holding him in a semi-laying position and kisses him on the lips, and the Luckster's arms flapped non-stop as the passengers gasped at what they saw, and are in a state of disbelief at what the bear did to Naegi, some feeling sorry while others are bemused at the rather hilarious scene.
"My word!"
"Did you see that?"
"That bear kissed that boy…"
"And is dancing like a stripper…"
"Is that bear…GAY?"
"Who knows?"
"Well…this is one funny scene…"
"Yes…and a hilarious one at that…"
The bear dropped Naegi on the floor as he began to sway and dance seductively while the Luckster CONVULSES in an exaggerated way, but Sonia saw a passenger carrying a bag that has a baseball bat, and she grabbed the bat and smacked the bear on the head, knocking the bear out, and by then a Novoselic citizen came, and sighed in dismay. It turns out that this man came from Japan and bought the bear from Gundam Tanaka, as the man is revealed to be a ringmaster of a Novoselic circus and brought the bear with him back, once they arrived at Novoseloc the bear sneaked out, found Naegi, and the rest is history.
Sonia learned about this and berated the man for his carelessness which the man apologized, promising to ensure that the bear won't trouble anyone again even though Sonia is visibly irked and annoyed at the situation at hand.
"Are you the owner of that bear?"
"Um…yes…"
"How can you be so careless?"
"I'm sorry…"
"Look what that bear did to my friend! I could have your head for that!"
"A thousand pardons, your highness!"
"Take that bear and leave…NOW!"
"Yes, your highness!"
Soon Novoselic airport officials came and assisted Naegi, and gave him water to drink, and minutes later he finally calmed down and Sonia apologized to Naegi about what happened, which he smiled as he used his optimism to assure that he is okay, even though he is still visibly shaken by that incident since it happened in front of a lot of people.
"Naegi-san…I am sorry…"
"Uh…it's…okay…"
"No, it is not…"
"I'm fine…"
"Calm down…"
"Um…"
"Please…calm yourself…"
"…"
Sonia then stood with Naegi and talked to him so that he would calm down, and once he is, there they will proceed to the royal palace so that they can settle down and rest, and little do the two teens know that the Royal family are having problems of their own as they are dealing with the rumors spreading about Sonia and Naegi, as King Nevermind is concerned about his daughter being perceived to be dating a mere commoner, and the chancellor is aggravating the situation by claiming that Naegi is trying to woo Sonia so that he can take advantage of the Royal family.
