Chapter 346

346 Bear-san, Drives the Bear Bus (1st day)

[Fina, Shuri . I’ll let you have Bear-san for now, but we will take turns . ] Noa

Noa points her finger to the two .

Somehow this feels like a dèja vu? Certainly, the same thing happened before . However, she used to say that she would not give up, Noa seems to be growing .

Or did she want to keep her promise to Cliff? For the time being, there was no competition for Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .

Morin-san enters after Noa and the others got in the carriage .

(TN: Somehow the author decided to call the Bear Bus a “carriage” . ) (ノアたちが馬車に乗り込んでいるとモリンさんがやってくる。)

[Yuna-chan, here’s bread for breakfast . I made it because I thought you were hungry . ] Morin

[Thank you . Is this all of it?] Yuna

[There seem to be 3 horse-drawn carriages, so I’ve divided them into 3 . There’s a lot of them, so please eat together with the children . ] Morin

Morin-san looked at the strangely-looking Bear Bus and handed me a bag containing pieces of bread .

[Yuna-san, I am looking forward to the sea for the first time . ] Karin

[I’ve never been there before . ] Elena

Next to Morin-san, Karin-san and Elena-san look happy . The two seem to be close in age, and I often see them making friends .

And then, I simply gave a brief explanation to everyone who got on the bear cub bus .

The Bear Bus has a refrigerator(minibar) with cold drinks, so they can drink it freely . I may speed up a little, but I told them not to panic . They can eat breakfast in the Bear Bus . But lunch is supposed to be eaten when we have a break . Etc . I gave a brief explanation . If they have a concern or need to call me for an emergency, I told them to press the button on the right side of the passenger seat .

We will be running while it’s still dark and needed lights, so the bear’s eyes lits up by a push of a button .

[Yuna-chan, so how does it move? And who will drive?] Tirumina

The parent bear bus and bear cub buses are not connected together . Tirumina-san’s question has a point .

[Because it’s my golem, it moves with my magic . I’ll be instructing it to follow the big bear carriage in front of it, so don’t worry about it and just enjoy the ride with everyone . ] Yuna

Golems will follow simple commands/programs that will work even without me directly moving them .

However, the operational range of the golem is not very wide . If I left it too far, the magical power will be severed and it will not move . This time, the parent bear bus and the child bear buses are not too far apart, so it’s okay .

[Magic power?! Then it will burden Yuna-chan . ] Eru

The magician Eru got worried .

[It’s just the same as when I captured the bandits in the cage before . And if we encountered a problem, I’ll speed up . Though it may drain a little more of my magical power . ] Yuna

And that’s the reason why I am a white bear .

[I’ve been thinking about it ever since . But I believe there’s nothing Yuna-chan can’t do . ] Eru

Everyone nodded at Eru’s words .

I can’t deny that . And I also think they are awesome . But all of these were God’s fault who gave me these strange abilities .

[Well then, we’re about to depart . ] Yuna

[Yuna-chan, don’t do anything dangerous . ] Tirumina

[I won’t . There are kids on board . But it’s faster than a carriage, so it might get a bit noisy . ] Yuna

The children are likely to make noise due to excitement when we started running, but the adults are likely to make noise for another reason .

After shoving all anxious adults into the bear cub buses . I went to the parent bus and I sat in the driver’s seat . Next to me are Fina and Shuri, sitting while holding the tiny Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .

When I grabbed the steering wheel, it started to drain my magical power, then the Bear Bus moved .

When the parent bear bus started moving, the children began to make noises .

[Some children are still sleeping, so don’t make too much noise . ] Yuna

When I say that to the back, they became quiet after replying with and . Thes kids are really disciplined .

However, it’s kinda funny to hear them whisper or , that makes me happy . It is possible that some of them have never ridden in a carriage before . If that’s the case, then it’s unavoidable that they make such noises .

The bear cub buses are also following us from behind .

I made the Bear Buses run slowly . Though even if I say run slowly, it’s still a bit faster than a carriage .

But Shuri who’s sitting next to me doesn’t seem to like it .

[Yuna-oneechan . It’s slow . Isn’t it faster before?] Shuri

[Well, I’ll go slowly at first . ] Yuna

We were only doing an experiment at that time . Besides, there are many people riding this time, so I can’t go crazy on the speed . However, I will gradually increase the speed while checking the time and the children .

The sun rises gently while the Bear Buses were running . I took out the bread Morin-san made for us and handed it to Fina .

[Morin-san made it for breakfast, so go and share it with everyone . ] Yuna

[I understand . ] Fina

[I will help too~ . ] Shuri

[Okay, Shuri, there’s a refrigerator over here, give everyone a drink . ] Yuna

I referred to the refrigerator behind the driver’s seat . Inside the refrigerator is a water bottle made of bamboo . Just in case, I prepared it so that she would not spill it .

[Be careful, both of you, because we are moving . ] Yuna

Fina and Shuri put Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear on their chairs and went to the back to distribute the bread and drinks . I try to drive as safely as possible while the two are doing the distribution .

I also got a piece of bread and put it in my mouth . I’m not borrowing Shuri’s words, but still . I think we’re running late . The speed feels slow because my standard is Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s speed .

I have plenty of magical power, so I wonder if I should speed up after everyone finishes their breakfast .

And so, the children who finished eating breakfast are now sleeping because it was still early in the morning .

Shuri, who’s sitting next to me, is swaying sleepily while hugging Hugging Bear . As expected, it seems to be too early even for children . Looking at the sleeping Shuri, her drool is about to fall onto Hugging Bear’s head sitting on her lap .

But Hugging Bear looks also sleeping since his eyes are closed, and I don’t think he’s aware of the drool that’s about to fall on the top of his head .

Hugging Bear is in a pinch .

When I tried to wipe Shuri’s drool .

[Yuna-onesan, excuse me from the front . ] Fina

Fina, who is sitting on the opposite side of Shuri, reaches out and wipes Shuri’s mouth with a handkerchief . Apparently, Hugging Bear was able to avoid the drool .

But Fina seems to be always looking after her sister . Shuri is sleeping soundly without even realizing that her mouth has been wiped .

Everyone was sleeping, so I sped up the Bear Buses . I used my magic to increase the rotation speed of the wheels . The speed of the Bear Buses increased . It feels good . Thanks to the white bear costume, I don’t feel that my magical power is being drained .

The speed of the Bear Buses is the same as a packer horse that runs fast carrying a light packer . It’s faster than the carriage, so we’re likely to arrive before the tunnel is fully closed .

If I can point out a problem is that I can hear the comfortable and relaxed sleeping breaths on my side and behind me . I also want to sleep . Normally, I sleep on the back of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but I can’t make the Bear Bus run by itself while I’m sleeping, because it doesn’t have a self-driving function, nor can I have Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear drive the Bear Bus . I didn’t expect to know the feelings of long-distance drivers at this age .

I drove the Bear Bus while enduring my sleepiness . I asked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to detect monsters . The fact that Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are not reacting means that there are no monsters nearby .

I don’t want to be awakened from my drowsiness by the alarms when monsters appear, but it’s time .

[Fina, are you sleeping . Say something . ] Yuna

[Say something, like what?] Fina

[Anything is good . ] Yuna

Having a conversation should keep me awake .

[Etto, my dad and mom were grateful to Yuna-oneesan . They’re happy because this is a rare opportunity . ] Fina

Fina began to talk about her parents, the cause of her worries .

She tells me how much effort Gentz-san had to get his long holiday and that Tirumina-san told her,

That, going up diagonally, was it because of what I’ve been doing? I don’t mean to do that .

[But mom . She was happy that Yuna-oneesan asked her . ] Fina

Then Fina talks about playing with Noa and how happy the children in the orphanage were . In fact, it makes me happy to hear that the director was looking forward to it .

I have to enjoy this as well so as not to let everyone down .

Thanks to having talked to Fina, I lost my sleepiness and the Bear Bus proceeded smoothly . And it’s about time for lunch, we’re having a break .

[Everyone, we’re taking a break . Get off the bear carriage and let’s have lunch . Wake up the sleeping children . ] Yuna

The awake children woke up the sleeping children . I got off the Bear Bus and stretched my back .

I asked Fina and Shuri to tell the people on the bear cub buses that we will take a break .

Some children who got out were running around the Bear Bus . There is a figure of Liz-san screaming at them to stop .

It’s peaceful .

While I was resting leisurely, Lurina-san and Eru came to me .

[Yuna-chan, are you okay?] Lurina

[What do you mean?] Yuna

[Your magical power . You kept moving such a big golem . Under normal circumstances, it’s normal for the magical power to quickly run out . ] Eru

The magicians Eru and Lurina-san are worried about me .

[It’s okay . My magical power is higher than that of a normal person . ] Yuna

It’s a gift from God .

Actually, if I had this magical powers since I was in my former world, it would be interesting .

[Seriously, don’t overdo it . ] Lurina

[I’m not . ] Yuna

[Even so, please don’t overdo it . ] Eru

Since they are magicians, they seem to knew that the overuse of magical power can be terrible . When I was done fighting Kraken, I remember feeling limp and sleepy .

After that, I ate Morin-san’s bread for lunch, then we finished our break .
