Bear-san and the others Visit a Town in the Land of Wa
Early in the morning, I went out of the house.
“How are we going to travel?” (Sakura)
“By riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, surely?” (Kagali)
“Hayatemaru is there too.” (Shinobu)
Hayatemaru was the name of Shinobu’s horse.
The eight people heading to town were Fina, Shuri, Noa, Misa, Sakura, Shinobu, myself and Kagali-san.
I didn’t expect Kagali-san to join our excursion.
Kagali-san said she was just passing the time.
Thus, the means of transport were Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, and Hayatemaru.
To carry everyone, we had to divide everyone into groups of 3, 3, and 2.
“I will be going with Swaying Bear then.” (Kagali)
“Kuu~n.”
“Um, I will...” (Sakura)
Sakura looked at Hugging Bear.
Of course, Fina, Shuri, Noa and Misa also wanted to ride Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“”Kuu~n.””
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear looked at me with a “What are we going to do?” expression.
It would be a little troublesome if they started fighting over who would be riding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
Besides, Hayatemaru was also there, and if no one but Shinobu wanted to ride it, I would feel sorry for Hayatemaru.
If I didn’t deal with the situation immediately, it would become a big problem.
I thought about how to deal with this.
Since we were a group of people...
“We’ll instead travel in a bear carriage.” (Yuna)
“A bear carriage?” (Sakura)
Technically, it was a Bear Bus, but they didn’t know what a bus was, so I called it a carriage instead.
It was quicker to show them the Bear Bus than to explain it, so I took out the Bear Carriage, or Bear Bus, from my bear box.
“What is this?” (Kagali)
“It has the face of Bear-san.” (Sakura)
“It’s big.” (Shinobu)
Kagali-san, Sakura and Shinobu were surprised when they saw the Bear Bus for the first time.
“Is Swaying Bear-sama and Hugging Bear-sama pulling it?” (Sakura)
“Fufu.” (Noa)
Noa laughed when she heard Sakura’s words.
“You are saying the same thing I once asked, but Sakura, no, it’s Yuna-san who moves it.” (Noa)
“Yuna-sama?” (Sakura)
“I’ll explain the details when we get on.” (Yuna)
I opened the door of the Bear Bus next to me.
“Sit wherever you like, but the front seat is mine.” (Yuna)
I didn’t want them to sit in the front as it was the driver’s seat.
“Misa, come on in.” (Noa)
“Yes.” (Misa)
Noa boarded the Bear Bus with Misa.
Then she turned around.
“Sakura, too?” (Noa)
“Yes.” (Sakura)
Sakura also boarded the Bear Bus with Noa.
“Sis, us too.” (Shuri)
“Yes.” (Fina)
Fina and Shuri followed, and then Kagali-san and Shinobu got on the Bear Bus. I was the last one to board after Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear transformed into cubs.
After boarding the Bear Bus, I looked at the seat behind me and saw Noa and the others sitting there.
“It’s so unusual to see Noa in the back.” (Yuna)
Last time, she sat next to me as if she were competing with the others.
“If I sit in the back, I can sit with everyone else.” (Noa)
Noa looked to the left and right.
Shuri, Fina, Noa, Sakura, and Misa were seated from left to right.
Noa and the others looked out with delight.
The Bear Bus continued driving forward without incident, and soon, the destination came into view.
“Is it safe if we keep going?” (Yuna)
The entrance to the town came into view.
“I’m afraid there will be a commotion if we continue like this...” (Sakura)
“I suggest we stop here.” (Shinobu)
Taking Sakura and Shinobu’s advice, I stopped the Bear Bus.
“Are we going to walk from here?” (Shuri)
Shuri appeared to be sleepy.
Fina pulled her hand, and we got out of the Bear Bus.
Noa and Misa followed her.
“Wake up, Lady Kagali.” (Sakura)
“Have we arrived already?” (Kagali)
Kagali-san fell asleep on the way and was roused by Sakura.
“Yes. It’s a bit of a distance to town, but we’ll walk from here.” (Sakura)
Sakura explained why we would walk to the town instead of riding the Bear Bus.
“Why don’t we ride Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear instead?” (Kagali)
“The people will be surprised if we take the Bear Bus, or even approach them while riding bears.” (Sakura)
“That will indeed be too much attention and trouble for us.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san reluctantly got off the bear carriage.
When I confirmed that everyone had dismounted, I put the Bear Bus away in the bear box.
Then we all started walking towards the town.
“Hmm, I’m looking forward to it.” (Noa)
“What kind of town is it?” (Misa)
Noa and Misa seemed excited.
But Sakura and Shinobu responded differently.
“Well, I’m sorry to say that even if you are looking forward to it, it’s just a normal town.” (Sakura)
“That’s right. There’s nothing much to see.” (Shinobu)
Sakura and Shinobu appeared a little apologetic.
But Shuri denied it.
“That’s not true. There were many unusual things, it was fun.” (Shuri)
“Yes. I think Noa-sama and Misa-sama will enjoy seeing so many things they’ve never seen before.” (Fina)
“I’m glad to hear that.” (Sakura)
In Mileela, Cliff said something similar to the people living there. But for those living there, it would be the same old thing, scenery and food, which would be attractive to people from other places.
“There is good food, but there is also stinky food.” (Shuri)
Noa reacted to Shuri’s casual remark.
“Stinky food?” (Noa)
“Yes, sticky, disgusting and smelly.” (Shuri)
“Are you talking about natto?” (Sakura)
“Oh, I did remember eating natto when I came here with Fina and Shuri.” (Yuna)
“I see, so you like it.” (Sakura)
“I heard that people don’t eat natto outside the Land of Wa.” (Shinobu)
“Do you eat that sticky, disgusting, smelly stuff?” (Noa)
“Yes, we eat it. It’s delicious.” (Sakura)
“I agree with that, but people from other countries seem to have a problem with it.” (Shinobu)
“I guess we have to try it to understand.” (Noa)
Noa said so.
“Noa-sama, I don’t think you should force yourself to eat this.” (Sakura)
“Has Fina tried eating it too?” (Noa)
“Yes. It had a strange and mysterious taste.” (Fina)
“When you say so, it makes me want to try it.” (Noa)
Noa was willing to eat natto.
I wondered if this would be a case where I would end up eating the leftover natto.
Well, I didn’t mind because I didn’t dislike natto.
While having this conversation, we approached the town.
