Just as the rear of the bus was about to slam into the Prayer House wall, a mass of shadow suddenly burst from the ground beside it, swiftly expanding into a swamp-like expanse of black.
When the bus crashed into it, it was as though it had sunk into a quagmire, its speed instantly bled away.
Clearly, Yuna's true body lurking in the shadows had made a move.
Seeing this, Ron, who was gripping the handrail, let out a breath of relief before saying with a headache, "Take it easy when you're driving... Hey!"
Before Ron could finish, Yuna had already stomped on the accelerator on the left. The bus immediately broke free of the shadowy mire behind it and shot forward with a whoosh.
Excitement lit up her delicate, pretty face. Yuna gripped the steering wheel and sped across the desolate wasteland outside the city.
As she floored the accelerator, the wind blowing in through the window tossed up her long black hair, exposing her snowy-white neck. She laughed happily. "This feels amazing! It's so much more comfortable than driving a carriage, and I can control the speed and direction myself."
Ron clenched the handrail tightly, planting his feet firmly on the floor as he felt the bus jolt violently over the uneven wasteland. Helplessly, he pressed a hand to his forehead. "What's so fun about this car...?"
Yuna drove the Liya bus like it was a supercar, swerving left and right across the wilderness, carving out winding tire tracks amid billowing clouds of dust.
The first time people from another world drove an Elemental Car like this, they would probably all be as excited and curious as Yuna... No, most people would probably be curious but nervous instead, right?
"Once you've had enough fun, we should head back,"
