Journey of 70 Copper Coins
And the next day
The day of our departure came.
"It's frustrating. In the end, we couldn't win at all."
Several off-duty soldiers came to the station to see me off.
"Well, I guess you’ll just have to keep working hard from now on."
To be honest
I'm tired of walking
So from here, let's take a trip by locomotive.
"I didn't know you were friends with the soldiers, Shiero-san."
Before I knew it, Wince had become friends with the ladies in the city.
There are a lot of them
"Take care of yourself, Fisse-chan."
"Be good to your boyfriend."
"If you need anything, you can count on me."
And so we board the locomotive.
The locomotive speeds up gradually, and we wave goodbye.
"It feels like I’m back to being an ordinary person for the first time in a while."
"It’s nice to take a trip like this once in a while."
We are headed for the old royal capital
Berdreich, the capital city of the humans
"How long does it take us to get there?"
"Tomorrow. It's quite fast."
Indeed.
It takes days to get there by wagon, but we'll be there the next day after we've slept.
"The cost is 70 copper coins."
Horses cost more.
"But Edgeworth territory was prosperous."
"It's amazing, isn't it? It was like the commercial city I went to before the collapse."
Even if you were told that it is the place where a massacre occurred 100 years ago, you wouldn't really feel it.
"I mean, if that's the case in Edgeworth, then maybe Berdreich is even greater."
"Like what?"
Like what?
Hmm...
"A city that never sleeps, where even at night it's as bright as daylight! Like that?"
"Sounds bad for your health."
Well, if you don't get used to it, you'll probably have trouble sleeping.
"Ah, that's right. I bought this."
Wince takes out a wooden box from her bag.
It looks like a cheap disposable item, but it is well-maintained.
It's a thin thing, 15 centimeters long and wide. Two of them.
Wince opens the lid of the wooden box.
"A bento!"
"It looks colorful and delicious."
Of course, the other one is mine.
"Then why don't we try it?"
"Yes"
""Itadakimasu!""
Both of us used a greet from Earth before the meal.
"Yeah, it's delicious, it's delicious."
"It’s good when it’s freshly made."
Various things are cooked moistly so that we don't get thirsty.
It's late, but the lid of the wooden box says, [Please eat by the end of the day]
"Speaking of which, how much did each of these cost?"
"It was 15 copper coins each."
Cheap!
15 copper coins are cheap for this flavor.
"By the way, Shiro-san."
"Hmm?"
"What does Earth's [Itadakimasu] mean?"
"I don't know."
In any case, before eating, you say [Itadakimasu].
When you finish eating, you say [Gochisousama]
Neither I nor Wince understood what it meant.
"Well, that's all right, isn't it? It means something."
"Well, it's a mystery nobody can solve anyway."
And so here we are, in the locomotive, at night.
The lights are getting dim inside the train.
The passengers begin to fall asleep.
Even so, the locomotive continues without stopping
Thank you for your hard work at night.
But since I'm a passenger, I'm going to sleep.
