Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 381

As I walked out of the inn with Almond and Rick, I saw something coming toward us with a cloud of dust.

"I guess I was just in time,"

"......What's that?" He smiled at them as they stared curiously at the smoke.

"That's the charcoal truck".

Not long after that, a "charcoal truck" pulling a cart stopped in front of us.

But it looked a little different from the charcoal wagons I knew.

It was larger than usual and had been modified in various ways.

'I see... ...... this is the charcoal truck I've heard so much about. This is the first time I've seen one like this."

"I didn't know such a lump of iron could move. ......No, no, Bhardia's technology is amazing."

Almond and Rick look impressed.

But, knowing what I know about regular charcoal cars, there's something about this car that I don't like.

"Haha thanks ......."

As I laugh, the passenger seat of the charcoal truck opens and a passenger steps out, saying, "Master Rid, thank you for waiting," but I can't help but roll my eyes at the person.

"Is that ......? Alex, are you here too?"

"Yes, some of the kidnapped children were working for me. The workshop is fine with my sister. But in place of her, I have prepared a "charcoal truck" that we were improving. With this, we should be able to go to the field in no time".

"I see. That's a big help, thank you."

With eyes full of determination, Alex confidently expressed his thanks, and the backseat door was opened and Selvia, a rat tribe member, got off the car.

'Master Rid, thank you for waiting. Also, sister Salvia contacted me just now and said that all the air force that can move as instructed by Master Rid has been sent to the scene. Also, the 6th division led by Lagarde seems to be getting very close to the site."

"I understand. Then we should head to the site immediately."

Then Alex noticed Almond and Rick and tilted his head.

"Master Rid. By the way, who are they?"

"Don't worry, they're cooperating with us. I'll explain the details on the way."

We got into the car as quickly as we could.

Almond and Rick looked around the car as if they were curious about the construction of the charcoal truck.

But when I saw the face of the person sitting in the driver's seat, I blinked.

"⁉ Why is that Capella driving?"

"Don't worry. I've already taken care of the mess after the attack. I am here because of my wife Ellen's wish and Fara-sama's order. I will tell you the details as I drive, so for now, let's hurry."

I see. Well, then, can you please depart?"

"Yes, of course."

Capella nodded and confirmed that everyone had boarded and buckled their seatbelts, and while holding the steering wheel with his right hand, he stepped on the clutch pedal with his left foot.

He then moved the gearshift with his left hand in a familiar manner.

"Now, let's go. Please be careful not to bite your tongue or hit your head."

"What ......?"

I wondered if a charcoal truck could make such a sharp start. After Capella's polite muttering, a rumbling sound came from the charcoal truck.

Not long after that, the vehicle we were riding in started to move at a rapid acceleration, which was hard to believe for a charcoal car.

I shouted in surprise, and Almond exclaimed excitedly, "This is great!"

"This is amazing! I knew it was a dwarf to develop such a vehicle. ...... No, Alex, you are indeed a wonderful man!"

Alex responded to these words by clearing his throat and then letting his voice echo through the car.

"Let me explain! This "charcoal truck, modified" is a test machine that my sister and I have been using to improve the performance of charcoal trucks. It is quite difficult to deal with, but that is not a problem because Capella, who usually cooperates with us in our experiments, is driving it. Furthermore, as an experimental feature, a special fuel that combines 'charcoal' with the magic stones 'flame stone' and 'water bright stone' is used, making it far more powerful than the charcoal trucks we have used up to now."

"What? ......⁉ I haven't heard such a report."

"Yes, that's right. Master Rid is known for his after-the-fact reports."

Alex smiles a black smile and I'm dumbfounded, but he doesn't care and continues to explain.

But there are still other functions. Capella-san, I'm out of town too, please."

I looked out the window and saw that we were indeed outside the city where we had just been.

What a speed, not unlike a charcoal truck. As I was thinking that, Capella nodded his head.

"...... understand. Well then, everyone. Again, be careful not to bite your tongue or bump your head."

Is that ......?"

As I was stunned, not understanding the intent of his words, Capella pulled the lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel toward him.

Shortly thereafter, a "bang! and the speed of the charcoal truck increased even more.

What is it this time⁉?" said Alex with a bad look on his face, smiling wickedly.

"You see, this is it. This is an acceleration aid that my sister and I devised together. Come on, Capella-san. Let's go as fast as we can to get to the people who are waiting for our assistance!"

Then Capella glanced at me sitting in the back seat and muttered.

'You mean ......, Master Rid. May I give you 'full speed'?"

What⁉ U-Uh, yes. Well, for now, the first priority is to get to the scene as quickly as possible, please.

Thank you very much. Then, I will be coming to you again at ......!

After that, the "charcoal truck" increased its speed even more and headed for the place where we had predicted the attackers would gather.
