Tiruminsan and I were headed to the Anzu’s shop together . It is so close that you can see it from
[By the way, did you make a bear carriage? I heard from Fina and Shuri, but I didn’t really understand what they meant . Shuri can only say
Certainly, the explanation does not make any sense . All they know is that it’s a vehicle that shaped like a bear .
[Well, it’s exactly what they said . ] Yuna
[I’m not sure if it’s pulled by a bear or a horse . Which is it after all?] Tirumina
[Um, it’s a bear . ] Yuna
[So, Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan are the ones pulling the carriage?] Tirumina
Tirumina says the same thing as Shuri . Should I say like mother, like daughter?
[They won’t pull it . It will be operated with my magic . ] Yuna
[You can do that?] Tirumina
Tiruminsan was surprised by my words and stopped at a moment .
[It’s magic after all . ] Yuna
[Yunchan is a mysterious girl, all right . ] Tirumina
Tiruminsan was frightened for a moment but immediately smiled .
[So, the bear carriage? How fast is the bear carriage?] Tirumina
A bear carriage was a vehicle that you don’t even know whether if it’s being pulled by a bear or a horse .
[How fast?] Yuna
[We might stay and wait in front of the Bear Tunnel depending on the time we arrive . ] Tirumina
I’ve been avoiding it until now, but when I heard it again from Tiruminsan’s mouth, about the Bear Tunnel, I felt embarrassed .
Damn it, this was all due to Cliff naming it Bear Tunnel .
If I have the skill to turn back the time, I’ll go back and stop him . Though unfortunately, I don’t remember having such a skill at all .
According to Fina, the tunnel has one-way alternating traffic . Travel is prohibited at night . So the next day, the tunnel would switch the flow of traffic . In other words, if we don’t arrive in the tunnel while it’s available, we’ll have to spend one or two nights in front of the tunnel, as Tiruminsan said .
I have to think properly before we leave .
It’s nice to come to Crimonia because there is a tunnel nearby connected to Mereera, but it’s inconvenient to go to Mereera going around the mountain range from Crimonia .
[So, what now? How about changing departure time and date depending on that?] Tirumina
It feels like our speed yesterday was faster than a carriage . But it’s still slower than Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
To be clear, it depends on my magical power . The speed changes depending on the amount of magical power being poured .
It was about 4-5 hours when I went to Mereera together with Fina and Shuri by riding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . Even on half the speed, it would take about 8-10 hours .
But in the first place, I don’t know how many kilometers-per-hour Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear can go when running on full speed, and I don’t know the speed of the Bear Bus either . I don’t even know half the speed of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
It might be possible if I was driving a car or a motorcycle before, but I don’t know because I don’t have a license .
[I don’t know for sure, but if we leave at sunrise I think we’ll arrive at Mereera in the evening . ] Yuna
[I wonder, will it be possible to pass through the tunnel?] Tirumina
[We’ll make it in time . ] Yuna
If I think we can’t make it in time, then I’ll speed it up . As a last resort, there is also the method of becoming a white bear .
[Will you be okay? ] Tirumina
[I will do my best . ] Yuna
[Then, I’ll believe in Yunchan, so let’s depart at sunrise . ] Tirumina
The scheduled departure didn’t change, it was still on the sunrise of the day when we can pass through the tunnel .
When the topic ends, we walk towards Anzu’s store .
[Also I have a request for Yunchan . ] Tirumina
Tiruminsan looks like having a little difficult to speak .
[What is it?] Yuna
[Noire-sama, the daughter of the town’s lord, wants to go with us . ] Tirumina
She feels a little anxious .
[She’s a good girl, so it’s fine . ] Yuna
[Yes, I know that . I’ve met her several times . ] Tirumina
[So what’s wrong?] Yuna
[Can I ask Yuna to contact Noire-sama? It is nice that Fina can have conversations with her . But it’s a bit of a trip going to that mansion . ] Tirumina
Indeed, she doesn’t want to see the lord, Cliff .
Well, from an ordinary person’s view, Cliff is a lord, an aristocrat, and a great person . So an ordinary person wouldn’t want to go to the lord’s mansion .
[Very well . I will tell Noa . ] Yuna
[Thank you . ] Tirumina
By the end of that topic, we arrived at Anzu’s store .
Since lunchtime was over, there were no customers here, unlike
[Yunsan and Tiruminsan?] Seno
[Ara, it’s true . ] Forne
Upon entering the shop, Seno-san and Forne-san, who were both wiping the table, noticed us .
[Why are the two of you together?] Seno
[I’m just checking with everyone . ] Yuna
[I want to talk about the purchasing of ingredients, so can I talk to Anzu-chan?] Tirumina
We answered their question .
[Wait a minute, I’ll go check on her . ] Seno
Seno-san dashed to the kitchen . After a while, Anzu and Petoru-san came out of the kitchen .
[Yunsan, Tiruminsan, I’ve heard that you want to talk to me . ] Anzu
[Are you free right now? ] Yuna
[Yes, as you can see, there are no customers at the moment . ] Anzu
[Well I guess it’s fine then . ] Yuna
[Yes . ] Anzu
We gathered at a nearby table .
The talk starts with the ever-busy Tiruminsan . Anyway, the topic is about purchasing .
[Don’t order anything other than what you can keep for a long time . Also, if Mereera delivers seafood and other ingredients, don’t forget to tell them that we will be closed during the vacation . ] Tirumina
Certainly, it would be a problem to have seafood delivered even though no one was there to receive it .
[That’s right… Then, on the last day, we won’t be able to serve much food . ] Anzu
Well, it can’t be helped . It’s better than wasting food .
[And if there are any leftover ingredients, I’ll put them in my bag, so we can use them when we go to Mereera . ] Yuna
[Yunchan, In that case, can you also bring the ingredients from
[Yeah sure . I’ll also get the eggs . ] Yuna
No matter how many eggs we have, she doesn’t waste them .
[Please, I’ll be counting on you . ] Tirumina
Tiruminsan stood up .
[Well then, I’m going to a commercial guild . How about you, Yunchan?] Tirumina
[I want to talk with Anzu and the others . ] Yuna
Tiruminsan left the shop in a hurry .
[So, what do you want to talk about, Yunsan?] Anzu
I looked at the three people who are helping the shop, Seno-san, Forne-san, and Petoru-san .
[Everyone really wanted to go to Mereera . But if you don’t like it, you can stay here in Crimonia . I came here to tell you that . ] Yuna
[Yunchan……] Sona
The three people understood what I wanted to say and looked back at me with a serious expression .
[You three had experienced something nasty, back in Mereera . That’s why I don’t want to force you to go back to your hometown . ] Yuna
[Thank you for worrying, Yunchan . ] Forne
[Because the four of us have already discussed and decided, so it’s okay] Petoru
The three people who came together with Anzu nodded at each other’s faces . Actually, there should be four of them who came together with Anzu, but Nifu-san is not here .
[We’re going to the town of Mereera . ] Petoru
[It’s true that some bad things had happened, but it’s the town where I was born and raised . I knew the people there, so I want to show them how energetic we are now . ] Sona
The three of them don’t look unhappy with the idea of going home . They really seemed to be okay .
[Just don’t overdo it . ] Yuna
The three replied with
If you add Nifu-san, who’s at the orphanage, the four of them will go back to the town of Mereera . There was something unpleasant about it before, but Cliff eliminated it . So it shouldn’t be an unpleasant homecoming .
[Even though Yunchan is small, she’s so kind . ] Sona
Calling me small is unnecessary .
[Usually, people doesn’t care that much . ] Forne
[Sometimes, it’s good to take everyone and have fun, while the shop is closed . ] Yuna
[It’s usually one by one . ] Anzu
[Well, this time we’re all traveling together . But isn’t it more like a homecoming to you because that’s where you all lived? Also, I made a promise to Degsan to bring back Anzu once in a while . Though Anzu doesn’t want to take a break at all . ] Yuna
[Yunsan . It’s only been a few months since I came to Crimonia . Usually, you don’t go back so early . If I go back this early, they would think I ran away . ] Anzu
[Is that so?] Yuna
[Normally, she shouldn’t be able to go back for years because of her training . Moreover, she shouldn’t be able to ask Yunsan for a day off, you even entrusted the shop to her . ] Petoru
[And we all get a day off every six days . ] Sona
[It’s a chance to rest to get rid of the fatigue . It’s also a chance for Anzu to find and date a man . ] Yuna
[Date!?] Anzu
Anzu was surprised at my words .
[Degsan asked me to look for a son-in-law . But I can’t search for it myself . So at the very least, I’ll give all of you a break, so that Anzu can give her best at finding one . ] Yuna
[I don’t care about that!] Anzu
[By any chance, was there someone?] Yuna
Then I have to report to Degsan . But is that man going to be okay?
You’re not going to kill him right? Degsan?
However, Anzu’s response was different than what I was expecting .
[I・ma・se・n! (I don’t!)] Anzu
[Is that so?] Yuna
I thought I’d give you a little pretty house when you got married . Well, too bad…
