Chapter 118

Carefully, trying not to wake Cattleya up, I stretched and left the carriage with my blanket still rolled up around me.

I was still embracing Hugging Bear, of course.

"Yuna-san, why did you wake up?"

Shia whispered when she noticed me leaving the carriage.

"You see, I would feel bad if I was the only one sleeping without being on the lookout duty. So, I will do it with you."

I sat next to Shia.

"Thank you very much."

Shia thanked me. She then shivered and extended her hands toward the fire.

"Are you cold?"

"Just a little."

The sun didn’t rise yet, so it was probably chilly.

Not like I could feel it wearing the Bear Clothes, though.

I was also hugging something warm under my blanket.

"Shia, should I lend you something warm?"

"Something warm, you say?"

I showed her Hugging Bear from inside the blanket.

"B… Bear-san!"

"He is warm, you know!"

I offered Hugging Bear to her. Hugging Bear gave me a confused look, as if to say “What is going on?”.

"Hugging Bear, keep Shia warm, okay?"

"Is it really okay?"

Even though she said that, she was already stretching out her hand. Hugging Bear cried out softly and was then hugged by Shia.

She brought him under her blanket.

"He is warm. Yuna-san, thank you very much."

She seemed really happy while holding Hugging Bear.

"But why is he small?"

"He is a summoned beast, so he can be made small. Well, even if you ask me about the specifics, I wouldn’t be able to answer."

"He is warm and feels good. It makes me sleepy."

She closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling.

"Sleeping is no good!"

"Yes, but I will be able to boast to Noa about this."

"Boast, you say…"

"Noa was boasting she had slept with the bears, you see. And she was talking about it really happily! It made me really frustrated."

I couldn’t understand what those sisters were competing about…

After some time had passed, the sun began to rise, so we decided to wake everyone up.

That also meant saying goodbye to Hugging Bear.

"Hugging Bear, thank you!"

Shia said regretfully.

When everyone woke up, we ate a simple breakfast and departed towards the village.

The boys drove the carriage while the girls rode in the back.

When I was with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, I didn’t really notice it, but traveling was really boring, huh. There was nothing to do in a shaking carriage. Would some games help kill time? Thinking about traveling, the standard games were Poker or Othello, but would we be able to play them in the carriage?
