05-01 Beginning of the Trip
It is the start of a new chapter.
Unlike when it was the competition, the plaza is deserted and dreary.
Jin stood there reminiscing for a moment. Even the same sea breeze is different from the seaside of Hourai Island. Perhaps Jin imagined that this was because there was people living here.
Reiko’s voice broke such a thought. Apparently it seems that the carriage to pick them up has arrived. Two two-horse carriages came.
At having a quick glance at the first carriage, he saw that the arm supporting the wheel of the carriage fulfilled the function of the suspension as it was. Arms extend back and forth from under the cabin.
If it is only a spring, it is easy to get car sickness because the vibration lasts long. Modern cars have a damper (shock absorber) to promptly converge vibrations, but this carriage doesn’t have that.
The circumference of the wheel is covered with iron. It will be durable, but the sound is very loud. Well if the ground is made of soil it won’t make much sound.
“We are the back carriage”
A girl whose face was shown from inside blond that it is near silver, light blue eyes, white skin. Reinhart’s cousin, Elsa Randol.
Today she wasn’t in her swimsuit, she now looks like a young woman in a colorful dress like a nobleman’s child would wear. It was a simple dress, but the cloth has gloss was sewn carefully. Collar, sleeve opening and hem, etc.
“Oh, it’s been a while.”
Jin presented Elsa a scarf in my pocket. But Elsa shook his head,
Elsa said that and then instructed the butler to load the baggage of the Jin and Reiko on the carriage who previously came down the carriage behind. Since there wasn’t much baggage, the butler finished loading quickly.
Elsa invited Jin and Reiko to hop onto the carriage.
When the butler asked if there were any other people coming, Elsa answered that it was only herself, Jin and Reiko.
Jin and Reiko sat towards the direction of the driver, while, Elsa sat behind the driver facing them.
“Are you ready to leave?”
After she gave the command the carriage started running. As they were moving the wheels started to make a noise, did it go over a protruding stone? The room shook with a feeling like it was tipping. It seemed that you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t get used to it fast.
“If you feel Sick Just say, I will cure you”
“I came because elder brother Rye wasn’t able to come because of some unforeseen business ”
“Yes, thanks for that”
“you don’t have to be polite, I’d like you to talk to me like you do to my elder brother.”
“Well then … … Thank you for coming to pick me up today.”
Elsa nods.
Saying that Elsa breathed out,
It was a very straight-forward question. To guess from what Elsa was saying with her way of speech, the conversation didn’t seem to be a very good topic.
Jin who tried to dodge the question said. Elsa who nodded agreeing asked,
Jin thought for a moment what to ask from Elsa,
I asked for the destination of the carriage.
“What is the name of the capital?”
“The capital of the Elias Kingdom is Borgia(Borussia), did you not know?”
When Jin talks a little about the setting that was previously discussed,
Elsa began to explain by saying.
“ah, I knew a little bit about that”
“Okay then Potlock would be the southern province”
“Yes, that’s why the province we are heading to is in the North and its name is Nord”
[norudo][ nordoh]
“There are four main roads in the Elias Kingdom, all of them extend from the capital Borussia to the east, west, south and north, so far you understand?”
“That’s right, the importance of the east and the west provinces is lower than that of the north and south provinces ”
“What’s wrong?”
Elsa who was obstructed by Jin in the middle of the story with his eyes supported himself, but Elsa immediately realized what was wrong. Although Reiko didn’t seem to know why Jin is having a blue face.
saying that Elsa took the hand of Jin after saying that.
“… Healing”
“How?”
“Oh, ah, I felt better. Thank you, was that magic just now?”
“Yeah, of course, after all, it’s for a person who is quite drunk making them feel comfortable?”
“Yeah, those who get on a carriage for the first time usually feel sick.”
“… ….”
“I want to put on a damper,”
“What is a damper?”
“Suppress the shake …”
“It seems to be difficult with this structure,”
“After all, Jin’s ideas, I want you to tell me a lot during the trip”
“Ah, great”
It is still the beginning of the trip and I would like to experiance this world through Jin’s point of view.
And Reiko, what’s wrong?
Thank you for reading.
