Chapter 715
They were affected by the shaking
“Mr. Takumi... I’m glad that you are alright...”
“I’m sorry! Ugh...gah...! Excuse me...”
“Ms. Lyra...and Ms. Gelda have left...”
After getting out of the carriage, Ms. Lyra had looked fine at first, but on closer inspection, she looked a little pale.
And then Ms. Gelda and her ran towards the door while covering their mouths.
Well, we had seen something similar on the way to Range village. They must have gotten sick...
Huh? I wonder why I didn’t feel sick at all?
The first thing I thought of, was that perhaps because I was used to riding trains, this kind of thing didn’t affect me as much.
“Uh...are you alright?”
“I...am fine. Well, it was a little bad, but... I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“Not at all. Perhaps you should get some rest?”
“Lady Claire, here is some water.”
“Thank you, Sebastian...”
She drank the water and looked a little better.
Sebastian had been checking their state after disconnecting the fenrirs.
Due to their weight, and also being made of wood, it was necessary to make sure that they had not been damaged.
It was like doing maintenance on a car, but it had to be done more regularly.
“There were a few parts that will need to be replaced.”
“Is that because of the speed it was going?”
“Yes, the speed does cause extra stress on the carriage. I’m sure the people who rode on it were able to feel it firsthand.”
“Indeed... Carriages always shake, but not that much. I thought that I was immune to it, unlike father...”
“That is what happens when you have it pulled by something that is faster than a horse. Hmm. I suppose it was not a good idea. Even though Liza and I were fine this time, it might be different if we tried again... Especially if it was a longer distance.”
The longer the distance, the more likely it was that the carriage would break. And it would be even worse if we got sick as well.
“Well, since this was the only time we will do it, there is no point in looking into it further...”
“Hmm. I was wondering if we could use it for delivering the herbs...”
“Mr. Takumi. Do mean when transferring the herbs from Range village to other towns?”
“Yes. It would be convenient to be able to deliver them so quickly, wouldn’t it? And it would mean that Claire would not have to spend as much time traveling.”
“Ah, I did not consider that. Indeed...shorter delivery time is...very appealing.”
