Chapter 154: Arc 3, - 64: Not Alone
Barely taking a glance at the long and wide streets of brown bricks, the scent of spices fluttering through the air and the various rows and heights of buildings, the four were rushed to Galuvit Station.
Made of dark metals, steam slightly blowing at the front, the train was ready to go. Several other trains were parked, not yet sanctioned to leave.
Two tracks for arrival and departure. The first train of the day had been reserved—the number four painted on the front. They had two entire passenger cars to themselves that had been booked.
Lavish interior, carpets of purple and gold, cushioned seats coloured bronze and tables in between. Each window had shades of their own—a long cable to tug on for an emergency stop.
With their luggage taken care of, they were rushed into the train, three of them surveying every inch with their mouths agape whilst Jotou looked around, mildly amused.
As Jotou stepped in, something slipped into her coat pocket; Jotou immediately turned, squinting around. "Is there an issue?" the Royal Guard behind her queried.
’He would be too occupied, he couldn’t have... Wait.’ Jotou saw a hooded figure, walking off in a hurry. Jotou placed a hand on her pocket to feel out—a thin something—like an envelope. "Nothing, just, nervous," Jotou replied.
"Do not worry, we have accounted for that. Please, get comfortable in your seat," she reassured as Jotou nodded and stepped in, following her friends.
"Woah... it’s like a carriage, but longer!" Asobi ran inwards.
"Well, duh genius," Fumeko’s head looked to the ceiling... She grumbled, "This is too awesome... WE’RE IN A SUPER EXPENSIVE TRAIN CAR!" she blinked all over the place, admiring the interior.
Hotaru grinned, her fangs shining, "So Jotou, is it like the ones in your world?" Her tail wagged, gawking at the interior herself, wondering how it would feel when it started moving.
"It is a beautiful train, I’ve never been in one like this before," Jotou gave up in trying to act aloof and glanced about.
