333 Bear-san, Makes a Vehicle. (1/2)

The day after Tirumina-san came to my home, I went outside the city with Fina and Shuri to find a way to get a carriage.

[Where are we going, Yuna-oneesan?] Fina

Fina asked me while riding on Swaying Bear.

[I don’t want people to see me, so we’ll go just a little further away from the city.] Yuna

As I explained to Fina, we came to a place a bit far from the highway. No one should see us here because it’s far from the road and there are lots of trees.

I get off from Hugging Bear, Fina, and Shuri get off from Swaying Bear.

[Yuna-oneesan, what are you making?] Fina

[A ride for everyone.] Yuna

I’ll make a vehicle for them, so I’ll let them watch. Originally, I brought them to check the ride’s comfortability.

There are 27 children in the orphanage. Then Liz-san, the director, Tirumina-san, Fina, Shuri, and Genz-san. That’s 33 people. And then Morin-san, Karin-san, Elena, and Noa, plus a group of 5 people going to Mereera. That makes a total of 42 people.

There are a lot of people, but most of them are children, so it should be okay if I adjust the chair considering the sitting space. So in order to confirm the comfortability, I asked Fina and Shuri to do an experiment…. err, do the confirmation.

[Are we riding a carriage? But can you make a big carriage?] Fina

[I can make it. However, I didn’t know how will the ride’s comfort turn out, so I had both of you come to try it.] Yuna

I don’t know if the ride is going to be a little uncomfortable because I have the Bear Equipment. This is where Fina and Shuri will do the experiment… I mean the test ride. I asked them to check the ride’s comfort.

First of all, I use earth magic to make the part of the flatbed on which the people will ride. It has a width and size of two carriages. In this case, it should be fine for about 40 people to ride in it. In the worst case, there is also a way to make it connected to another one.

[Huge….] Shuri

[Yuna-oneesan, isn’t it too big?] Fina

[But we have no horse. Are you planning to make Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan pull it?] Shuri

Shuri got scared. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear appealed to me with sad eyes. They don’t want to pull it.

[Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear will not pull it.] Yuna

To my words, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried happily.

Next, I made a big Bear Golem, the same one that I made when I first went to the royal capital.

[Bear-san! ~] Shuri

[Yuna-oneesan. This was the bear from that time.] Fina

Fina seemed to remember it. The bear that pulled a mobile cage with a group of bandits in it.

For the time being, I’ll attach the large flatbed to the Bear Golem.

[Yuna-oneechan, it’s too big?] Shuri

[Yeah, it’s too big after all.] Yuna

Looking at the Shuri, she’s struggling to try to climb on the loading platform.

[Yuna-oneechan, will it move?] Shuri

[Let’s make it move for a little while.] Yuna

[I did it~] Fina

Shuri raised her hands and rejoiced.

Fina was tired just by getting on the flatbed.

I jumped in and ride on it. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear followed me and jumped in as well.

When I saw everyone was on board, I made my magic flow to the Bear Golem and ordered it to move. The Bear Golem began to walk slowly.

[Wow, it moved.] Shuri

Well, it works, doesn’t it?

Gatagata. (rattling sfx.)

Gatagata.

Let’s speed it up a little.

Gatagatagatagata.

[It’s shaking.] Yuna

This was also one of the reasons why we moved away from the highway. Well, I’ll just use my detection magic to make sure there were no people on the highway and order the Bear Golem to use the highway.

[Yuna-oneesan. It’s too big after all, isn’t?] Fina

It feels like we took more space on the road. Should I make the flatbed narrower?

Come to think of it, what’s the situation in the tunnel?

One-way alternating traffic?

A size restriction of the carriages?

Because I always move using the Bear Gate, I don’t have any information about the surrounding area.

Though I said that I was not interested because I had nothing to do with it.

Above all, I don’t want to go because of the bear statues. When someone I know asks me, I’ll say I was asked by Cliff. Well, it’s not a lie. I just didn’t say all of the truth.

For the time being, I’ve never gone to the Bear Tunnel ever since it was completed. Because of that, I don’t know what kind of situation the tunnel is in. I should have asked Tirumina-san yesterday.

[Fina. Do you know if the tunnel is a one-way alternating passage? Or if there is a carriage size limit?] Yuna

I don’t think she knows, but I’ll ask Fina anyway.

[It’s a one-way alternating road. It seems to alternate every day.] Fina

[Is that so? But how does Fina know?] Yuna

[My mother said we can’t go through the tunnel today, so the fish will be coming tomorrow. I remembered it because she was saying that last night.] Fina

I see the source of the information was Tirumina-san. But you’re having that kind of conversation with your family.

Anzu and the others are doing the purchases, but Tirumina-san is also managing it. So there’s no reason for her not to know.

In that case, it’s okay for the carriage to be a little bigger. However, the carriage which takes all the width of the road is rejected after all.

I drop them off and disassemble the carriage.

[Are you going to erase it.] Shuri

Shuri looks sad.

[Yeah, I made a little mistake.] Yuna

Also, we went far from the highway once more. Now then, I will make the vehicle design for the second plan.

That becomes this, and this becomes that, and this becomes it.

The Kuma-Bus was completed.
