“Yup, a train. This, ahm, is a vehicle that travels on laid out track on the ground.”
“This thing moves?”
Hmm, I wonder which button I should press…well, the door’s open, so…
“Ahh, is this it?”
*Pshhhhhhhhhhh!*
“W-wha!?”
Selen’s reaction to the sudden closing of the doors was to be ready to draw her swords.
“It’s alright, it’s alright. I just closed the doors.”
After that, I proceeded to press buttons and pull levers left and right until I finally figured out how to get the train to move forward.
Once I pull this lever, it’ll finally move, right? …but, I wonder, how can it move at all?
There were no overhead powerlines that could provide it with electricity and the railways didn’t seem to transmit power either. But then again, considering we already had houses in the village which had electricity and gas flowing into them, it might be too late to wonder about the source now.
“Wow, it’s really moving! B-but shouldn’t we stop soon!?”
Selen shouted so, fearing we would crash into the village’s rampart.
As quickly as I could, I used my Facility Customization to reshape the rampart to have a tunnel and then extend the railway tracks.
Like that, the train went to the fields outside of the village. Well, technically, the fields were still part of the village though. We continued to cut through the fields until we were truly out of village and were in the wasteland.
*Clickety-clack**Clickety-clack*
The train made such sounds, almost like it was humming a tune, as it dashed across the wasteland.
“It’s so fast! And we’re still speeding up!”
“……”
“We’ve just left and we’re already at end of wasteland! It’s almost like we teleported!”
“……”
“Hey, what’s wrong? You’ve been quiet for a while now.”
“Ahm…promise not to get angry?”
“I can’t promise that, but if you don’t tell me now, I promise I will be angry.”
