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 the qualified people such as nobles like Shia and those who aim to be a knight will take it. Shia and her friends learned it to protect themselves and the knights sometimes cross the river when the need arises.

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’re 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 move 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.
