22. In the carriage

I'm fine with the departure, but I've almost met my friend Zeros and my friend Gents. It's nice to ride in the same carriage as these two, but what's the air? I feel nervous. Thinking like that, Yua pulled the hem of my clothes.

What's the matter?

When I heard that, Yua drew her mouth closer to my ear.

"(Well, it's kind of awkward)"

Looks like you were thinking the same thing. Well, it might be natural to think of the same thing as me...

"(... let's not worry about it until the request is over. If you're worried, you might get tired.)"

"(Well, maybe, but can you do it?)"

"(Well, let's try our best for now?)"

Mr. Xeros spoke to me while I was talking about it.

"What are you two talking about?"

I thought it might not be good to answer as I was asked, but I decided to answer with a little turbidity.

“I was just talking about something like what to do now.”

On the road?

Well, that's how it is.

I was talking about the road, so I shouldn't have gone wrong.... maybe.

Then you don't have to talk to me in private.

"Zeros. Keep it around." There must be a reason for them to be hers, too. "

"... that's true, too. I'm sorry to hear that."

No, don't worry about it.

"Oh, yes, I didn't say much!"

"Well then... if you have any concerns or questions, just ask me."

Mr. Zeros told me that.... so why don't you ask why we're riding in this carriage? And I thought about that.
