The speed of the limousine was fast, and Kasia sat in the passenger seat and kept urging. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info's mood that had calmed down was a little agitated again.

Outside the windows were flowing lights, and the rain crackled against the fast-moving cars. Under the temptation of Kasia's double price, the old driver who seemed to be an extremely stable and mature person sitting in the limousine also became energetic, and the hands holding the steering wheel and steam valve were very dexterous, and the car turned into a nimble black cat, overtaking the chaotic limousine cars on the road, and driving towards the outskirts of Manoma at a very fast speed.

The limousine wagged its tail on the slippery pavement, and even with the seat belts on, Cassia had to hold onto the handrails to stabilize her body, which had begun to move with the body. The car was accompanied by the undulating sound of horns, which was the angry announcement and warning of the other limousine drivers.

It's the effect of money, and it's an extremely useful thing most of the time. Kasia sighed as he looked at the old driver who was driving next to him.

And the old driver was humming a familiar tune in his mouth at the moment, ignoring the sound of the warning and angry horn.

"It's an exciting job, sir!" the old driver didn't forget to chat with Kasia, who pressed a button that seemed to be an extra addition with a mysterious smile on his face as early as when Kasia offered him double the price to pursue extreme speed.

The car has been modified by the mechanics, and the button is used to activate the device that obscures the license plate number and then slightly changes the shape and appearance of the limousine, so that no one else will recognize the limousine. From the words of the old driver, it is not difficult to conclude that he once wanted to be a professional mechanic, but later due to various reasons, the trajectory of his life also changed like this.

"At first, I was very interested in mechanics, and the books I read when I was in school could be calculated in terms of weight. I usually go to the steam factory when I have time, on the one hand, I can earn some extra subsidies by working there for a short time, and on the other hand, I want to take the opportunity to learn more technical and theoretical knowledge from the professional masters there. The old driver held the steering wheel steadily, the acceleration and deceleration were carried out smoothly, and the words on his lips were also smooth and without a little intermittent feeling, "But after graduating from school, the things I once hoped for have changed too much." At that time, it was the period when industrial manufacturing was at its poorest, because the war had ceased for a long time, and ordinary civilian machinery had long been produced in surplus. So I thought about changing careers and doing something else, but I didn't expect that this change would be almost a lifetime thing. ”

The old driver made a frantic turn in front of him, drifting and gliding through the vertical curves, and the rain on the ground that had not yet had time to enter the underground water was shoveled up and splashed far away. Luckily, it has left the heart of Manoma, and there are few moving vehicles on the road at the moment, and the whole road is left to the old drivers.

So what was once a hobby for machinery has become a hobby in life and leisure, and when there is nothing to do, I do a little mechanical transformation or something, and this car is the product of this. The old driver continued happily, the wiper in front of him waving enthusiastically towards Cassia and the old driver in the car as if it were a swaggering arm in cheer. Then, in the corner of Kasia's vision, the old driver pressed another button, and the body vibrated violently. To his sensitive ears, Kasia could distinctly hear the opening and closing of the ultra-high-pressure steam valve, a device accessory that should only be found on the machinery of a steam factory. The function is to control the steam output in the super-steam system reasonably and precisely. But it's now mounted on top of this ordinary-looking limousine.

The speed of the limousine was once again abruptly increased by a step, and it was not the ordinary tires that provided enough friction to the car.

"Little brother, if you are interested in the future, you can go to a small workshop in Manoma to have a look. I don't think you will be disappointed there, and you will definitely find something you like. For example, this limousine, which has been modified beyond recognition, is the product of the hands of that small workshop. Compared to amateurs like me, the people there are very professional. The old driver said that the limousine was speeding down the road, and the raindrops were completely tilted in Kasia's eyes. Because of the addition of many accessories, the weight of the car has also increased a lot. With the design of professional tires and body, it gives the car enough grip power. The speed has stopped in the area where the limousine should not be involved, but the body is still in a stable state.

At this rate, the planned time of about an hour to reach the destination can be reduced by more than half. Looking out the window at the speeding past, Kasia thought with such a feeling.

Leaving the center of Manoma, the wide road that surrounds it outside, because of the weather, or because of the geographical location, the shadow of a car can only be seen almost every minute or so. The street lamps on both sides silently contributed their own light, and even though they were connected in rows, they still stood there alone like tree trunks that had been frozen to the surface with a layer of frost on the surface in winter. The same feeling is felt in the low houses behind the street lamps, and it is not even clear what they look like under the rain curtain. Except for the occasional flash of lightning that briefly illuminates them, the rest of the day is always a dull still life painting.

Much earlier than the estimated time, Kasia paid double the price and then asked the old driver if he could wait for him here for a while, and was willing to pay a certain amount of waiting fee. If he doesn't come back after a long time, the driver will have time to go back.

"Of course, there isn't much business on a rainy day. I'm tired today, so I'm listening to some music in the car and smoking a few cigarettes waiting for you. The old driver smiled indifferently, while tuning the electronic sound "sizzling" the radio, while touching the cigarette on his body. Signaling if Kasia would come to one, of course, was politely refused.

Holding up his umbrella, Kasia stepped on the pavement covered in a fine layer of rainwater. Didn't let the limousine drive in, and chose to walk relatively safely. Ahead was the black-gray shadow of a sparsely lit building under a rain curtain, not a little lifeless, corpse-like silence.

It was once a bustling industrial area, and Kasia learned about the details of the area in the books in the library of the military school, and the map information was memorized in his mind. It's not that you came here unprepared, but there are only so many things you can prepare.

"I don't know if Carla is still here. Cassia felt a strange emotion in her heart. It was the feeling of expecting it, but not wanting Carla to stay here. Knowing that after the last time he and Kara met, they were completely separated. It is possible that the trajectory of life will also change at this point, like a train on the railroad tracks, which is divided into two different routes just because of the action of a change of direction.

There will be a chance to meet in the future, and Kasia will definitely comfort herself with such words when she thinks of herself in the future. The empire is said to be very large, but with the power of the airship, it only takes less than two or three months to cross the farthest distance. If it is small, even if it is in the same Manoma territory, there is no clue, and trying to find the other party is doing a mathematical probability problem.

With mixed feelings, Kasia walked step by step in the rain curtain, and the edge of the umbrella fell into a slender column of water, and the rain still did not decrease a little, and it fell in a trickle.
