I told Claire and the others about cars
While talking to Claire and Sebastian about saving ti, and Leo pulling the carriage, a certain thought popped up in my mind.
How it would be very convenient to have a ans of high speed travel. Even if it wasn’t quite the sa as a train or driving down a highway.
However, in the end, it would rely on a living creature, a monster. So you would need to rest. Besides, it was not sothing that could beco widespread, like horses…
Fenrirs didn’t just live anywhere.
“A carriage made of tal would be too heavy for the fenrirs to pull. Well, nevermind that then.”
“Well, such suggestions can have an effect later. Now that I think about it, did you old ho not rely on carriages and horses, Mr. Takumi?”
“Ah, yes. I told you about it before. Uh… Of course, I am no expert and could not make anything like that.”
It was a while ago…I told them while riding in the carriage with Claire and Ms. Lyra.
The only thing I knew about cars was that the engines used fuel to move the wheels… I could not explain how it all worked.
While I had a license, I didn’t own a car and rarely drove. If I had to take the test again, I would probably fail.
“Um… How fast were these tal vehicles?”
“Uhhh…well…”
Seconds per kiloter was probably sothing they wouldn’t understand…
And so I would have to compare it to sothing that they had experienced.
“The speed that Leo and the others were running at in the beginning. That might be a little faster than normal…I think? Though, you could go twice as fast if you wanted.”
Race cars went at such a speed that driving on the freeway felt slow.
“Faster than that…I can not imagine it…”
“Haha. Well, the conditions are also quite different. Ah, perhaps Rahle could?”
“Rahle?”
“Though, it is probably too dangerous to test it out… But if Rahle were to dive down directly from the sky…it might match that speed.”
“Oh…I would not want to experience that…”
They said that birds swooped down incredibly swiftly when catching their prey. However, it would be dangerous, even with a saddle. So it was best to not test it.
Sebastian had ridden on Rahle once, and he was already shivering at the thought.
“Still, Mr. Takumi. Wouldn’t there be a lot of shaking then? Or perhaps you are used to it now?”
“I wouldn’t say that I’m used to it. I’m sure that I would have beco sick if I rode it much longer. However…it does not shake as much as a carriage.”
“These tal carriages sound amazing.”
“Hmm. It is probably more to do with the roads. As for these tal…uh, they are called cars. They have systems that reduce shaking.”
Suspensions. And the tires were made of rubber as well.
“What is different about the roads?”
Both Claire and Sebastian were very interested in this subject… Even though we had not decided to do anything.
“Indeed… Well, the roads here are often gravel, aren’t they?”
“Yes. Though, in large towns and cities like Ractos, they have roads paved with stone… But most of the other streets are gravel.”
“While waved roads would be fine, it is hard to have any stability with gravel.”
“That is true. So it was different where you ca from, Mr. Takumi?”
Hmm. How should I explain to them about asphalt…
I doubted they would be able to make it here.
