Chapter 345

345 Bear-san Heads to the Meeting Place (Day 1)

[What about you, Shia?] Yuna

[About the swimsuit? I have prepared the swimsuit that I’m using at school, so it’s fine . ] Shia

[From school?] Yuna

[There are only a few students at the school, but there are also swimming lessons . ] Shia

According to Shia, she may practice swimming depending on the subject she is studying . It is said that mainly aristocrats such as Shia and voters, those who aim for a knight will take it . The knights sometimes cross the river when the need arises .

(TN: (主にシアなどの貴族や有権者たち、騎士を目指す者が取ると言う。) (no idea about the “voters” part . )

That’s why she also practices swimming .

[It’s okay then if you both have your swimwears . ] Yuna

[When is the departure?] Lurina

[Tomorrow . ] Yuna

I told them the schedule of departure .

[So early…] Shia

[You barely made it . ] Yuna

[U~n . Then, I wonder if this bear-san is going to be the ride . I will look forward to tomorrow . ] Lurina

[Lurina-san, let’s ride on it . ] Shia

Lurina-san tried to save it for tomorrow, but Shia wants to ride it now .

[It’s better to save the fun for later . And if I don’t send Shia-chan to her house, the request won’t be completed . Well then, Yuna-chan, see you tomorrow . ] Lurina

Lurina-san walks while she grabs Shia’s arm . And Shia has a face of regret while getting dragged farther away .

Now that the two of them are gone, I shall begin to modify the Bear Bus .

Etto, this will be like this, this will be like that, and the number of people was eight? Wait, was it seven? Nine? Well, it should be a little bigger .

Yeah, it’s finished . Though I want to ask myself, will this be good enough?

In front of me, there are two cubs following the parent bear on the front . The image is that the parent is me and Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are attached to the back .

I also thought about a double-decker bus, but it is dangerous for a double-decker when speeding up . I don’t think it’ll fall, but when I thought about something I got this result .

The children from the orphanage, the director, Liz-san, and Nifu-san will ride on the parent bear bus . On the bear cub bus, Morin-san, Karin-san, Tirumina-san, and Genz-san along with Anzu and the others from Anzu’s shop .

Then, on the other bear cub bus, I’m going to have Noa, Shia, and Misa, then Marina and Lurina-san as well .

Fina and Shuri are free to decide whether they want to ride together with Tirumina-san or Noa .

And the next morning . Shortly before the sun rises, I was awakened by Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .

[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear . Good Morning . ] Yuna

I thank them for waking me up and got out of bed .

I’m still sleepy . I slept early yesterday, but at this hour drowsiness still calls .

After I wash my face to wake myself up, I went out of the bear house wearing my white bear costume . Then, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear who’s currently in bear cub forms came along with tokotoko footsteps .

I didn’t forget to change my clothes . the Bear Bus uses a lot of magical powers . If you just move it slowly, the magic power consumption will be little . However, if you increase the speed, the magic power consumption will increase . My appearance is of a white bear, thinking about what to do considering the schedule of the tunnel .

At the meeting place . When I reached the entrance of the gate, some people are already there .

[Yuna-san, what’s with that look?] Shia

[Yuna-oneesama is so cute . ] Misa

[Hugging Bear-chan’s parent?] Noa

[…………] Marina? Eru?

Noa and Misa, Shia, Marina, and Eru are surprised at my appearance . Well, it would be surprising since I always dressed as a black bear then out of nowhere I turned into a white bear .

[Well, for some reason, it would be helpful to me so, please don’t mind it . ] Yuna

[Usually, your Swaying Bear-chan look is cute, but Hugging Bear-chan look is also cute . ] Misa

[Uh, yeah…… Thanks . ] Yuna

After all, Swaying Bear is a black bear . If it is white, it will look like Hugging Bear .

Then, Noa greets Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in the morning .

[So, Yuna-san, what about the carriage?] Noa

[Un? Shia didn’t tell you?] Yuna

[Oneesama? She hasn’t told me anything . ] Noa

Noa looks at Shia .

[Because it would be a surprise, so I kept silent about it . And I can’t explain it anyway . ] Shia

[What? What does oneesama know?] Noa

Shia has an imposing smile .

Well, I just wish I could take out the Bear Bus without causing a commotion . I checked the surroundings . There are only two sleepy guards at the guardhouse watching us .

But then, if we gather so early in the morning, they’ll be curious .

Noa will definitely make a noise if I take out the Bear Bus here . Then it will cause a commotion this early in the morning .

While I was thinking about what to do, I could hear someone speaking from behind me .

[Ah, Yuna-oneechan . White!] Shuri

[You’re right . ] Fina

There are the figures of Shuri and Fina running towards me . When I turned around, Shuri hugged me .

[Shuri, Fina, good morning . ] Yuna

[Good morning . ] Fina

[Why is Yuna-oneechan white?] Shuri

[I feel like becoming Hugging Bear today . ] Yuna

When I said so, Hugging Bear at my feet cried happily . Well, he may be happy because whenever I go out, I’m always a black bear .

[Swaying Bear-chan, Hugging Bear chan . Good morning . ] Shuri

Shuri crouches down and greets Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . Shuri has been fine since morning . I thought she will be sleepy as well . But from behind Fina and the others, it looks like Tirumina-san and Gentz-san are the ones that are sleepy .

[Tirmina-san and Gentz-san you look sleepy . ] Yuna

[Normally you’d expect that they’ll be sleepy since it’s still early . But these girls are strangely energetic today . ] Tirumina

Gentz-san ​​nodded to Tirumina-san’s words while yawning . And when I look at him, it looks like he’s about to say something, but held back instead .

I appreciate the response of an adult .

After Fina and Shuri hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, they went to Noa and Misa .

[Everyone’s not here yet . ] Yuna

The only ones left are Morin-san, Karin-san, the children and the people working at the orphanage, the girls from Mereera, and lastly Lurina-san and Gil .

[Tirumina-san, can I ask you to wait for them here? When everyone comes, please come outside the city . I will have the carriage outside ready . ] Yuna

[I’ve heard it from my daughters . It seems that you made something strange again . ] Tirumina

It seems that my reputation got worse . But I only made a Bear Bus .

After asking Tirumina-san to wait, I put my guild card over the crystal plate .

[Are you going out with the kids so early in the morning? Well, I think it’s okay if it’s Bear-jo-chan, but still, be careful out there . ] Gatekeeper

I said my greetings to the worried gatekeeper, left Tirumina-san and Genz-san to wait for the others, and took the rest outside of the town .

It’s dark outside . But the sun is finally rising .

[Does Fina and Shuri knows about the carriage that Yuna-san prepared?] Noa

[Yeah, I know about it . It’s a big bear . ] Shuri

[Bear-san? Not a carriage?] Noa

[Well, you’ll know when you see it . ] Yuna

I took out the Bear Bus after walking a little further from the gate .

[Wha, wha… What? What is this?!] Noa

[It’s Bear-san] Misa

Noa and Misa were both surprised .

[Are, Yuna-oneesan . What are those little bears behind?] Fina

Fina looks at the Bear cub bus . I made it yesterday, so neither Fina nor Shuri knew about Bear cub bus .

[I made it because there are more people joining us . Noa and Marina and the others will get on that bear cub . ] Yuna

[The bear cub? I want to ride the parent bear, but I also want to ride the bear cub . ] Misa

[Well, if you really want to ride on the bigger one, then its fine to ride the bigger one . ] Yuna

[Really?] Misa

[Yuna, are we riding on the same one as Missana-sama?] Marina

[No . Marina and Eru will be riding on the bear cub . Don’t worry, there’s nothing dangerous . ] Yuna

The road to the tunnel was being maintained by the adventurers, by subjugating the monsters in the vicinity . Besides, it is safe inside the Bear Bus . Even if a monster appears, there are five adventurers inside including myself . As long as a high-ranking monster such as a dragon does not appear, we can immediately respond .

[Missana-sama, please let’s ride here together . ] Marina

Marina began to persuade Misa . For me, it doesn’t matter which one Misa gets on . Fina and the others can enjoy riding on the parent bear bus and in the bear cub bus . They’re so energetic in the morning .

After a while, the children from the orphanage came out from the gate .

Some children are still sleepy, and others are pulling their hands to keep them walking .

[Ah, Yuna-oneechan . She’s white!]

[It’s true! She’s white!]

Children ran towards me .

[Good morning everyone . ] Yuna

[[[[[[[[[Good morning . ]]]]]]]]]

After all, I’m a white bear right now and not many people have seen me like this in public so it’s gonna make a lot of noise .

It makes me feel a little embarrassed because I remembered the feeling when I walked around the city in a bear costume for the first time .

[That’s why everyone can sit on the parent bear, so sit wherever you like . But the front and the back are no good . ] Yuna

When I said so, the children’s attention shifts from me to the Bear Bus .

[Wow, it’s a big bear . ]

[So big . ]

Children started to make a commotion when they saw the Bear Bus . As expected, it was a good idea to take out the Bear Bus outside of the town .

There are children touching the Bear Bus and the children who are sleepy a while ago woke up after seeing the Bear Bus . There’s also a child running around the Bear Bus .

[Alright stop making a lot of noise and get in one at a time . ] Yuna

[Ha~a ~ i !]

After the children replied, they started riding the Bear Bus .

[Etto, Yuna-san, are we riding on this?] Liz

After the children, Nifu-san appears together with Liz-san and the director .

Liz-san who asked me has a small child is sleeping on her back and if you look closely, there is also a sleeping child on Nifu-san’s back .

[It may look like that, but it’s faster and wider than a horse-drawn carriage . Liz-san would sit on the back . ] Yuna

The back is a little wider so that you can sit comfortably together with the director .

Liz and the others are anxious to get on the Bear Bus from the front entrance . After Liz-san entered, Nifu-san and the director entered as well .

Then, when I wondered what happened to Misa, it seemed that she decided to take the bear cub bus because of Marina’s persuasion . Besides, it seems that Noa and Shia decided to ride together .

Fina and Shuri seem to have consulted with Tirumina-san and Gentz-san but have not decided yet .

When the children decided their seats, Gentz-san and Tirumina-san enter . Behind them, there were Lurina-san and Gil, then Anzu and the girls from Mereera, Morin-san, Karin-san, and Elena-san .

Now then, it looks like everyone is here .

[U~u, I’m sleepy . ] Seno

Seno-san makes a big yawn .

[I’m sleepy too . ] Anzu

Anzu agrees to Seno-san’s words . Apparently, the group who were former Mereera residents seems sleepy .

On the other hand, Morin-san and Karin-san are not sleepy . Is it because the bread is made early in the morning? But the inn also operates early, right?

However, the sleepy Mereera group woke up when they saw me .

[Yuna-chan is white . Am I dreaming about it?] Anzu

Their eyes look awake, but it seems like they’re still half asleep .

[I’m wearing white today . I won’t accept any questions about that, so please get on quickly . ] Yuna

I silenced Anzu and her group, Morin-san, Karin-san, and Lurina-san by looking at them sharply . The explanation would be troublesome .

[So what is this? What about a carriage?] Anzu

After seeing the Bear Bus, Anzu’s group was looking around it .

[This is the carriage . Anzu and the other’s will be riding in the bear cub . ] Yuna

I refer them to the second bear cub bus . The second bear cub bus contains the 7 cooks from the two restaurants Anzu, Seno-san, Forne-san, Betoru-san, Morin-san, Karin-san, and Elena-san . Additionally, Tirumina-san and Gentz-san .

[Where should we ride?] Lurina

Lurina-san who saw the Bear Bus yesterday didn’t seem as surprised as everyone else . However, there is an expression that it looks like it’s making her excited after getting on .

[You can sit anywhere you like . You can ride with Shia . You can ride Tirmina-san . ] Yuna

[What should we do? Where would you want to ride Gil?] Lurina

Gil looks at the members riding on the bear cub bus .

[Same as Gentz-san] Gil

Gil went to where Gentz-san is .

[Then I’ll be on the same bear as Shia . I want to deepen the fellowship between adventurers . ] Lurina

Lurina-san heads to the bear cub bus where the Marina and the other’s are riding .

And Fina and Shuri, who were unsure until the end, decided to sit next to my driver’s seat .
