The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~-Chapter 212 - Bee-san: “I’ll do my best!”
Since there was some leeway in this aerial journey, I flew while talking with Leanne, and by noon, we landed on the ground once and teleported back to the dorm.
“Welcome back—how was it?”
Natalia asked.
“It’s pretty warm and going smoothly. Leanne, how long do you think it’ll take to get there?”
“At this pace, it’s quite fast. Since we’re in the sky, we can bypass things like forests, and Bee-san is really fast, so if it stays like this, I think we’ll arrive by evening.”
So we’ll get there in a day.
Bee-san is amazing.
“......Which means work starts tomorrow?”
“Faster than I thought.”
The two floating-head mages sat up.
“It’s fine to rest too. First, we need to go to the guild and hear what they have to say.”
It’s not like we’re in a rush.
“......No, we’re going too.”
“It’s better if everyone hears the story.”
They’re unusually motivated.
“Did something happen?”
Curious, I checked with Natalia and Lily.
“We just had a little talk while you two were out.”
“We figured that if Yuuma goes to the guild, he might bring someone back like Pamela or Leanne, so we decided to all go to the Lian guild together.”
Not saying anything, but we all went to the capital’s guild too, you know.
And you guys didn’t say a word and just left it all to me.
“Hm... well, either way, it’s probably better to show our faces from the start.”
“......Exactly. That’s why we’re all going tomorrow.”
Well, regardless of the reason, it’s good they’re motivated.
Basically, everyone gathers in this room, and in Alice and Annie’s case, they spend far more time here than in their own rooms.
“Ah, Leanne, is tomorrow okay for you? For now, I’d like you to come with us at least until we get to the inn that’ll be our base.”
Annie checked with Leanne.
Once Annie gets out of the kotatsu, she can handle this kind of coordination too.
“I have a meeting in the capital in the afternoon, so I can go in the morning. I just need to head back by evening, right?”
“Yes. Let’s go with that. Tomorrow from the morning then. Alright, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“......Chibi-masu, enjoy your sky date.”
Annie and Alice returned to being floating heads.
“Dinner’s ready, you two—”
“AI-chan will bring it over.”
Come to think of it, AI-chan isn’t here.
I don’t feel her presence in the kotatsu either.
“Sorry for the wait—this is AI-chan’s special Clive-style copied cooking—”
AI-chan entered the room and lined the food up on the table.
“Copied cooking?”
“I installed Clive-san’s ability, so I can also make Clive-san’s dishes. This is paella.”
Huh...
“You’re amazing.”
“Right? But I learned through experience that even if you have the knowledge, if you don’t have the skill, it’s no good. It’s a bit burnt.”
“Didn’t you install the technique too?”
“My body’s short and my arms are short too—”
So even if you install the technique, it’s difficult because the body type is different.
Well, now that I think about it, even though AI-chan installed Mother’s abilities, she’s still weak.
“Everyone fails sometimes. Let’s eat.”
“Master’s kindness really touches my heart. I’ll forgive you for quietly leaving me behind.”
No, you’re the one who didn’t come out of the kotatsu.
We ate the rice dish called paella that AI-chan made for us.
It was indeed a bit burnt, but it was still delicious.

After finishing lunch, this time we brought AI-chan with us, teleported, and headed toward the town of Lian on Bee-san.
“Oooh, with this kind of temperature, the wind really does feel nice—”
AI-chan stood up on top of Bee-san and felt the wind.
Her beautiful blonde hair fluttered, and she looked like she was having fun.
“Don’t fall off.”
Riane, who was clinging to me, gave a warning.
“It’s okay! Foxes have excellent sense of balance! Ahhh, we should’ve brought Lily-san too—”
She was excited when we were on the dragon too.
She was born and raised in the trees as an elf, so she probably likes high places.
“As expected, the dragon might be fine, but four people on the bee would be tough. And the speed would drop—we wouldn’t be able to make it today.”
“That’s true—”
As I watched AI-chan having fun, we continued on.
Then, the sky gradually began to turn crimson.
“I don’t see the town?”
Weren’t we supposed to arrive by evening?
“Hmm, we passed a river just now, so maybe around here?”
Leanne pointed at the map.
“Not yet...”
We were definitely getting closer to Lian, but it still looked like there was some distance.
“According to the estimate, we should be almost there though...”
Riane looked at AI-chan, who was sitting cross-legged.
“C-could it be, you think I was heavy? Me, who is famously as light as a feather?”
Like that Crow-chan who wheezes just by breathing.
“It’s definitely your fault.”
Leanne narrowed her eyes.
“Bee-san, that’s not true, right? Mm-hmm... It’s saying that’s not true. Apparently, we just took a wrong turn along the way.”
Liar.
“Leanne, will we make it by night? Bee-san can fly at night, but its sense of direction is shaky.”
I don’t know the details, but I feel like bees don’t move at night.
“Probably, it’ll be okay...”
Well, it’s not like we absolutely have to arrive today, so it’s fine...
“Bee-saaan! Do your best! It’s not acceptable for me, whose role is to support Master, to be the one dragging us down—!”
When AI-chan smacked Bee-san’s body repeatedly, Bee-san’s speed increased.
“Ohh, awesome.”
Really giving it your all.
And kind too...
“As expected! Even if you run out of stamina, you can just disappear and come back again, so fly like your life depends on it!”
You demon...
Ah, no, she’s the avatar of that mean fox.
As Bee-san flew at full speed like that, it gradually began to get dark, and about an hour later, it had become pitch black all around.
However, many lights could be seen up ahead.
“It’s a town... is that it?”
It’s still a bit of a distance away, but it’s really bright...
Reminds me of the entertainment district in the royal capital.
“Yes. Judging by the amount of light, it’s probably Lian. Lian is a town of adventurers and is said to be a city that never sleeps. I’ve heard that the entertainment district stays open late into the night.”
So it really is an entertainment district...
Well, if adventurers gather and make money, it’s only natural for it to turn out like that.
“Bee-san, around here is fine. We’ll walk the rest tomorrow.”
When I said that, Bee-san slowly descended and landed on the ground.
As I held Leanne, AI-chan jumped onto my back, so I carried them both and jumped down from Bee-san.
“Thanks, Bee-san.”
“As expected of Bee-san!”
“Ah, th-thank you...”
Leanne was slightly taken aback.
It wasn’t that she was scared of Bee-san, but because Bee-san looked completely exhausted.
“Good job. I’ll give you some honey next time.”
Saying that, I made Bee-san disappear.
“Shall we head back? It’s gotten quite late.”
“Yeah. I’m counting on you.”
“Yes.”
We decided to return using Leanne’s teleportation.
