#8 Monastic Practice (3)
In first class, each seat was divided by a partition.
Of course, it wasn’t just a partition blocking the view.
There are more than 3 magics in each of these seats.
Soundproofing, blinding, and shock mitigation.
Should I say that I can definitely feel that it is a khan for aristocrats?
In that coziness, Tyria’s tension subsided a little.
Of course, it didn’t last long.
Woo woo woo-
The moment the horn sounded and the train rattled loudly, Tyria stiffened.
After that, it got even worse.
Considering motion sickness, I was about to sit Tyria by the window.
But isn’t she starting to stumble at the speed of the scenery passing by?
Elric asked with a blank laugh.
“What are you doing?”
“What are you talking about?”
Her shoulders were trembling slightly.
For some reason, her straight posture was gradually receding.
His gaze was no longer directed out of the window, but over my lap.
Elric had never before seen a woman with such severe civ.
Having been so frightened, I felt apologetic on the contrary.
“Would you like something to drink?”
“Yes, please.”
I heard you say please.
Elric knocked on the cubicle twice.
Then the door opened and a courtesy attendant appeared.
“Did you call?”
“Give me two cups of tea here. I like anything… What would you like your wife to eat?”
“Daria leaves, please.”
“I see.”
Daria leaves were one of the tea leaves cultivated in the East.
It is known for its sedative effect.
“I will prepare it soon. Do you need refreshments too?”
“Simple please.”
“yes.”
As he said, the staff brewed the tea at a fairly fast pace.
They brought out some cookies, but Tyria couldn’t even touch them.
What Elric saw was a strange sight.
Dalgrak, moongrak.
She, who hadn’t made the sound of clinking dishes even when eating, was rattling her teacup.
It was a face that had lost its soul.
He drank tea horok horok, but it was mechanical.
I’m starting to feel really sorry now.
“… sorry for my I just wanted to get on the train.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“I was just saying that.”
“You like jokes. The lord.”
How long are you going to pretend to be strong?
Her stubbornness is almost tongue-in-cheek.
I don’t want to show off, so there’s no need to bother.
Elric didn’t bring up the same thing any more.
For about two hours, the strange silence created by Tyria’s tension continued in the seats.
A meal was served in the middle, but she couldn’t handle half of her portion, and after that, she tried to calm herself down by reading a book, but it led to a worsening of motion sickness.
Her appearance was like someone undergoing torture.
But you can’t get off a train you’ve already boarded.
Openly, Elric’s hand was tapping Tyria’s back.
Normally, she wouldn’t react to such an action, but,
“… Excuse me for a moment.”
Today’s Tyria leaned her head on Elric’s shoulder.
“… !”
Elric’s breath choked as her body thickened.
For some reason, his breath became hot and his eyes wandered in the air.
A strange tension plagued Elric, but not for long.
“… ma’am?”
It was because the condition of Tyria, which he glanced at, was not very good.
Mouth was open.
The eyes were out of focus.
“when do you arrive?”
It was quite pitiful to see her trembling with a mixture of motion sickness and phobia.
“Well, I think I have to go seven more hours.”
“that… .”
Her hands gripped the hem of Elric’s coat pleadingly.
An awkward smile appeared on Elric’s lips.
That was the moment.
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~!
A bell rang through the soundproofing magic.
Elric’s eyes opened wide.
Because there was only one bell that could be transmitted beyond soundproof magic.
“… Is there a problem?”
I couldn’t answer Tyria’s question right away.
Doubt and bewilderment crept into him.
‘this? really? why?’
It was because an accident that I had never experienced even once in the past 10 years, even though I had taken so many trains, happened today, now, at this time.
rattle!
The door is open.
From noble mtl dot com
The staff said with a firm face.
“Te, terrorism! Lock the seat door and wait!”
train terrorism.
With a creak, Elric’s head turned toward Tyria.
She stared blankly at the employee with a devastated face as if the world had collapsed, then moved her gaze to Elric.
A blatant resentment filled his eyes.
Even without words, her intentions were palpable at a glance.
He said there would be no such thing as terrorism.
The voice seemed to be stuck in my ear for some reason.
It was right after.
“ah… !”
Tyria stumbled and eventually passed out.
“Boo, madam!”
Elric hastily grabbed her.
*
It’s not a very funny coincidence.
Elric let Tyria lie down on the seat and sighed.
I even asked the staff.
“What the hell is going on?”
The employee blurted out his expression as if he was troubled.
“They are the coachmen.”
“coachman?”
“Coachers who used to make long-distance trips are committing explosive terrorism, claiming that they lost their jobs because of the train. In the second class compartment… .”
“egg plant.”
“yes?”
“There is a group there.”
Of course, he is second class again.
This is the Khan with Aldio and the maids.
Could it be that they might have a problem?
Elric got up on his cane and left the cubicle.
The staff ran after Elric in a hurry, but Elric had no time to pay attention to him.
“Now, wait a minute! dealt with soon… .”
“It’s done. If something happens to me, I won’t blame you.”
For them, there would be no accident as big as getting a nobleman involved in it.
Elric understands that, but he hasn’t lived a life afraid of explosives.
He even harbored a mind to secretly shoot and kill the terrorists if the need arises.
It was a moment that crossed the border.
“No, it’s not like that! That said, I don’t need help!”
The scenery of the second class hung with the words of the staff.
At that moment, Elric stiffened.
“Okay, the situation is over! Let’s all fix it now. You there, collect the bombs and you put these corpses out of sight. Come on, passengers! Our trains are safe. This… Well, let’s make it an event. A crisis that suddenly came to your boring life? How is it?”
There was a man there who spoke fluently.
A skinny, elongated body, her hair was braided up to her waist, and ornaments were attached to it, and her outfit was a colorful uniform in gold and black.
“The coachman’s terrorism, news that deserves to be on the news. Well, since I’ve taken care of the accident, that’ll come along. At this point, it may be time to go through the process of general investigation of those who may be terrorists. um, good Now everyone can rest assured. Above all, we always strive for your convenience… .”
He bowed long and took an exaggerated ceremony.
“It was Edward Wight, the president of EW.”
“Wow, waaaa!!!”
The sound of shouts vibrated the entire room.
His smile grew inexplicable.
Elric was confused.
Then I felt a tingling sensation all over my knee.
‘why?’
Is the author here?
Elric’s complexion cooled.
What formed in his eyes was wariness and hostility.
“hmm?”
Edward Wight turned around and found Elric.
Then he smiled brightly and said,
“this… .”
It was a mischievous look.
“… A wonderful coincidence.”
On his chest, a badge embossed with a huge palace shone.
“Long time no see? Is it only four months?”
“What trick is it?”
“What is the trick?”
Gwt Edward laughed.
“Stop doing this, let’s move our seats.”
He passed Elric and headed for first class.
Elric still looked at him with the young eyes of an enemy.
It had to be.
Edward Wight.
The head of a company called EW, the supreme intelligence of this continent that changed the times, and an alchemist who is said to have seen the truth.
And the name given to him in awe of him is right.
‘Geumgong (金公).’
Because he is one of the top 7 on the continent, Edward, a goldsmith.
He was the golden duke, the real authority of the Armin Kingdom.
Also, he was the one who broke Elric’s knee in the Fall War.
My knees ached.
“Why aren’t you coming?”
His golden eyes shone through the monocle.
“Do you intend to stay there?”
The way he grinned was as humorous as that of a clown.
Elric glared at him sternly and headed for first class.
His seat was the most spacious at the end of the first class.
“Now, sit down here.”
He buried himself in the sofa and pointed to the seat across from him.
“Our old swordsman!”
Edward spoke in a friendly manner, as if meeting an old friend.
“You look good!”
Power filled Elric’s hand holding the staff.
You naturally become aware of the space.
The size of a room, only him and himself were seated.
there will be weapons
But it comes out faster than that.
why is he here
Is all this really a coincidence?
‘no.’
It couldn’t have been.
The owner of this train and railroad is the man in front of you.
Suddenly, I was worried about Tyria’s safety.
‘If you do… .’
I’ll have to kill him and try to escape.
Elric’s eyes grew cold.
It was just like the one of the sword demon Kasha who wandered the battlefield.
