Chapter 267: When We Returned to the Bus Carriage, It Had Somehow Become Hawaiian-Resort-Like

"What is that..."

The words Ana leaked were probably surprise rather than a question.

Well, if there is a square object with a capybara drawn so realistically it could be mistaken for a photograph, of course you’d be surprised.

And I also leaked "What is that..."

Somehow a pond had appeared in front of the bus carriage, and a small luminous body like a mini-sun was floating in the sky above...

Looking closely the identity of the luminous body was Kaka or Pipi. Because they were glowing I couldn’t tell which. Or rather, those two are stuffed animals produced at the same factory so there is no difference in appearance.

When I approached it was warm...

The area around the royal capital should also be winter and cold, but the area around the hut was as mild as early spring.

"Aloha Oe~♪" ×4

By the pond, four capybara girls were holding hands and singing the Hawaiian folk song Aloha Oe.

Cute. Just like a kindergarten play.

But the quality was lower than kindergarten; they were only endlessly repeating the opening "Aloha Oe~♪." I only know that part of the folk song, and Rui, who must have taught them this song, probably also only knows that part.

In the pond, capybara girls, beaver girls, and nutria girls were swimming. There were also children sunbathing by the pond. I can’t assert it because there are children submerged in the water, but I feel the number has increased again...

Under the luminous body, a bloomer-wearing dog girl was lying on a recliner that I have no idea where they prepared.

Just like a beachside.

Hammocks were strung between the trees in the interstices of the forest, and the cat girls were swaying leisurely.

The ones who finished it into a comfortable space were probably Dura-san and Lucia.

Dura-san, who gained knowledge in the royal capital, processed wood and wool to make furniture, and Lucia probably made the pond.

Ana looked around restlessly at the surroundings.

"Iria. Is this what you wanted to show me?"

"Ah. Yes. It has changed quite a bit, but essentially it hasn’t changed. This."

The dog girls seemed to have noticed my return and came running.

Letree-san and the Lian sisters, perhaps wary of the unfamiliar humans, slowed their speed midway. Petit Letree and Shepa didn’t mind and swarmed over.

"Welcome back, Masaharu!"

"Welcome back, Master!"

They bounced pyon pyon trying to jump and cling to me. Their faces reached the position of my face while I was on Iferaski. As expected of dog girls. Their jumping power is also amazing.

I dismounted from Iferaski and hugged the backs of the two who jumped at me.

Together with the Lian sisters, I was licked all over by the four dog girls.

"Wan!"

When Letree-san barked the four quickly separated and stepped back.

"We are in front of guests. ...Um. If you don’t mind, this way please."

Letree-san was holding the plain medieval-style clothes she usually wears in front of her waist, trying to reduce skin area as much as possible. As expected of the precious common-sense slot.

While I was being rumpled by the dog girls, Iria had Ranjou help her remove her armor and changed into plain thick clothes.

Ah. Could it be that when those cheeky mob knights were talking behind our backs earlier, the reason nothing was said about having no attendants is because the horse girls also serve as attendants?

Horse girls are really nice after all.

They’re smart and good at taking care of people.

Really, Ranjou is a good girl.

Iferaski, who was already lying in the very center of the five recliners of all places, please learn a little from Ranjou...!

"Hey. There are three guests, so don’t take the dead center. The next person will have trouble finding a place to sit. I don’t think you’ll understand even if I say it, but what you’re doing is as airheaded as coming to stand next to someone at a men’s urinal."

I princess-carried Iferaski and laid her on the far end.

I’ll stand next to Iferaski.

The frame of the recliner is wood, but the parts that touch the body are woven from reeds so it’s soft and has good ventilation. There’s also a part to rest your feet so it should be comfortable. Perhaps tasting a southern-country resort mood, Iferaski pleasantly undulated her hips left and right.

Iria and Ana also immediately laid their bodies down, but Ana’s two attendants, perhaps bewildered by the inexplicable scene, or perhaps unable to lay their bodies next to their master, remained standing.

"You two can also rest your bodies."

"No. If we rest our bodies we cannot deal with something if it happens."

The staff attendant seriously shook her head in response to Ana’s words.

Then she directed a gaze at the surrounding beast girls that seemed to want to say she was on alert.

"Then I’ll give an order. There are no enemies here. Rest."

"...Yes."

With a reluctant manner the two attendants also sat on the recliners.

From the two girls’ gestures at that time, I noticed.

Of course they couldn’t rest in front of their master, but that wasn’t all. They probably resisted placing their bodies on things used by beastman slaves. From the momentary change in expression I somehow guessed that.

I let it pass, but when Ana laid her body down the attendants had surprised faces, and even now when they sat they brushed off dust with their hands. It’s sad, but is this the general attitude of people toward beastmen.

Come to think of it, it’s natural that the intensely shy Fullru doesn’t show herself, but what about Rui and Rafilia-san.

Just as I was wondering that, they apparently had been in the blind spot of the bus carriage.

"Everyone! Attention!"

Rui, who probably hadn’t noticed the visitors, came out.

In her hands was a kendama!

She made one!

"Hai!"

Kacha. Poro.

"Hai!"

Kacha. Supo.

She failed once but Rui placed the ball on the wide side hole.

"Oloha~ Oe~! ...Oe. Oe."

The capybara girls in charge of resort music, perhaps surprised and forgetting the lyrics, began repeating only the strange part.

"Oe~ Oe~"

"Hai!"

Kacha.

Rui inserted the stick into the hole!

This is a pretty difficult technique, right.

As expected of someone good at inserting sticks into holes!

The newcomer Rui probably wants to get along with everyone and is trying various things.

"Oe!!"

After letting out an especially large pained voice at the end, the Aloha Oe capybara girls stopped singing.

"What is that!"

When the four Aloha Oe girls near Rui jumped at it, the other children also rushed in one after another.

The rodent girls other than the capybara girls also seemed interested in the unfamiliar tool and directed their gazes. One, two, they slowly approached Rui.

Furthermore from the shadow of the bus carriage, Rafilia-san on stilts came out unsteadily. Capybara girls also rushed that way.

Rafilia-san handed the stilts to the capybara girls, gave a small bow toward us and said "I’ll prepare wine."

Zapaah.

Capybara-sama sluggishly leaped out from the pond.

Zapaah.

Then Capybara-chan also leaped out.

When the two lined up it was easy to see that Capybara-sama is a size larger. Especially around the belly it’s completely different. Furthermore Capybara-sama’s fur is reddish, quite different from the brown Capybara-chan.

Biku.

Perhaps startled by the water sound, or because it was their first time seeing capybaras, the two attendants sat up and went on alert.

Without seeming to care about the two girls’ gazes, the capybaras shook their bodies like dogs and sent water flying.

Capybara-sama started walking and Capybara-chan followed behind.

After walking a few steps the two—

Pita.

Capybara-sama suddenly stopped, perhaps finally noticing the horses Ana and the others had come on.

Zumu.

Capybara-chan, who continued forward, rammed into Capybara-sama’s butt and stopped.

The two then became motionless as if time had stopped.

The horses paid no attention to the capybaras and were eating grass on the ground.

Su.

Capybara-sama, perhaps noticing the horses had no hostility, took only one step and stopped again.

Zumu.

Capybara-chan again rammed her face into Capybara-sama’s butt.

The horses started moving. The horses slowly approached the pond, lowered their necks and drank water.

Now then. The capybara girls’ Aloha Oe has stopped, so shall I sing in their place.

"Aloha Oe~♪"

"Hey. Masaharu. Even though they’re acquaintances, Ana is here as a guest."

Hey, Iria, what do you mean by that...

Iferaski was covering her ears with both hands.

The dog girls’ ears were flattened shut.

A cat girl rolled off a hammock.

The fairies’ lights disappeared into the depths of the forest. I heard Martha-san’s voice "Bakaharu stop it, desu!" Who’s Bakaharu, Bonbon!

The rodent girls playing with kendama and stilts stopped moving, and those on the outside of the group each turned their faces in different directions so as to eliminate blind spots.

From atop the bus carriage Mirai-chan’s crying voice could be heard.

"Could it be that my singing voice is terrible?"

Just as I was sunk in sorrow, a beautiful voice that instantly erased that sorrow could be heard.

"Aloha Oe~♪"

Rafilia-san.

Because it doesn’t seem to be a religion that sings hymns a lot I have never heard Rafilia-san singing in church, but I was surprised. She was the owner of such a beautiful singing voice.

Rui, completely mimicking a plain medieval girl, distributed cups, and Rafilia-san poured wine while singing.

There were five cups, so the last one was probably prepared for me, but Iferaski naturally reached out her hand. Well, because the four people next to her received cups in order, she would think the last one is hers.

Rui glanced at me so I nodded, and Rui handed the cup to Iferaski.

Ah.

Ranjou, who is taking care so that the guests’ horses that aren’t tied anywhere don’t run away, is really a good girl.

See?

Horse girls are kind and smart, and liked by everyone.
