Thrown Into Madness - Lord of the Mysteries

Aristocracy

Juny calmly watched the landscape outside of the carriage change.

With the speed they were moving at, they would arrive in the Feynapotter city in around two days.

With that knowledge, Juny began to miss quick transport, like cars and busses.

Normally, if they wished to travel to a big city like the Feynapotter city, they would take the train.

But, the thing was, there was no train leading to the Feynapotter city from the Inizio city.

This left them with two choices: they either take a carriage to a different city and then take the train, or they take a carriage that goes directly to the Feynapotter city.

And since their group was very... young.

They decided that directly taking the carriage was the safest option.

Other than the three underage and one 18 year old girl, there were a couple more people inside the carriage.

An older man, a young lady with a black hound, a mother with a young boy and a young man with an adventurous vibe to him.

The carriage was actually very lively, the mother was quite talkative and the young lady was bored, so she spoke as well.

Ellone and Airina joined in many times while the male part of the carriage stayed silent.

And Juny, she felt that a 10 year old joining the conversation would simply make others uncomfortable.

She decided to stay silent throughout the entire travel, only.

"Tomy, why don't you go play with that cute girl, she seems around your age."

Juny's world instantly shattered as she instinctively looked at Dager, who sat opposite her.

He was covering his mouth and clearly trying very hard to hold back his laughter.

'I don't want to play with a kid...'

Unlike her wishes, the boy seemed more than happy to have someone he could play with.

Walking over, the small boy spoke.

"Hi! Want to be my friend?"

Juny flinched.

'Too straightforward! You're being way too straightforward!'

Juny's brain was on overload thinking of a way out.

Looking at the boy's expectant eyes, Juny secretly sighed.

'I am a child, a child... How should a child act in this situation?'

'S-Should I be straightforward as well?'

Juny showed a very happy expression and made her voice very high-pitched.

"Sure!"

"Pft!"

Juny's gaze whipped up at Dager.

'What are you laughing at? How else am I supposed to act?'

Ignoring her distaste, she patted the place next to her on the bench.

Unlike what she was afraid of, the kids's conversation was completely led by the boy.

'How long did he have to travel to have so much to say...'

It was quite obvious that Juny was the first 'child' his age the boy has seen in a while.

"I'm going there with my mom! That's my mom! Where's your mom?"
