Chapter 56 (2/2): Huh? Villagers?
Next day. I checked everything in the morning and nothing special has happened.
The weather was fine today and the weather forecast reported that it wont snow.
It happened after getting in the car to enjoy smooth drive to our destination.
“Ah, They are persistent! Its foolish to drive on the road when there is still snow!”
Seiwa shouts without trying to hide her resentment.
Carol and I coudnt afford to speak. We grabbed our seatbelts so we stay stationary.
The road running through the snow covered plain maybe a beautiful sight which should be eye catching in normal times but we have no time to enjoy the scenery.
A few minutes, the car next to us started colliding with us.
“I still have years left in my life!”
Miss Seiwa stepped on the accelerator and got away from it but then another sturdy and expensive foreign car cuts through the direction of the road.
The situation is just like when the previous car hit us earlier. She is struggling to get rid of them.
“If you do harm us directly, you will be out!”
She shouts loudly as if not wanting to lose to the sound of collision and engine sound.
“That car behind us is more thirsty so the player is in front!”
That may be true as the car in front of us didnt touch us at all.5
The man named Hatabata said that he uses people without getting his own hands dirty.
If one of the tires is petrified using the power of Destiny, we can escape but doing so could result to a serious accident and I dont want anyone to be injured.
The situation is dangerous now and that gives me the courage to make a decision that might kill the other party….
If only there was a more gentle way to dismiss….Ah, I noticed it now.
“Speed up if they hit us from behind!”
“You have some ideas!”
I raised my thumb towards the rear view mirror.
The sound of the collision shook the body of the car and it seemed as if we were about to be blown away.
The accelerated on my signal.
I take out my smartphone and activate the miracle. Trigger a [Blizzard] by specifying the range overlapping with car following us.
It seemed like as if we would be caught in it as well but the car was at a pretty high seed…faster than the speed of snowstorm to reach us.
The car behind which got separated due to the impact and acceleration, face a snowstorm.
The view suddenly turns white.
Snow covers the road.
What if I plunge into such a place at the current speed? I would immediately moved to the side.
“Yoshio! The car behind is off the road!”
The car slides into the plains. It seems that he has somehow managed to apply the brakes but is spinning now.
“They are not good at responding to slips or they woudnt have applied the brakes immediately.”
I check on the side mirror and Miss Seti was laughing as if finding the situation amusing.
For the non-locals, it seems that they are not good responding on snowy roads.
They wont be able to catch up with us. The only car left is now the one blocking the path in front of us.
“Can you slow down a little?”
One of the obstacles has been eliminated so I want her to slow down a bit.
Carol is frightened. She is clinging to me and trembling.
After a while the foreign car should also adjust their speed..
“As it is, slow down to about 20 kilometers per hour.”
“It’s okay, but”
It seemed she followed what I said despite the doubts and the speed gradually decreased.
The car in front of us also slowed down to 20 kilometers per hour.
“Destiny. Do you see that black thing thats spinning under it? On my signal, turn it into stone.”
I asked.
It stared at the tires and nodded heavily so the only thing left was the timing.
This is a one-way, two lane road. Four lanes including the opposite lane.
There are no cars visible on the opposite lane.
“Miss Seti. Please turn towards right at once. You may jump on the opposite lane if needed!!”
“I don’t know what is going on here!”
The body of the car shakes heavily while being pulled towards the side. I scream while holding Carol’s body firmly.
“Now!”
As soon as Destiny opened his eyes, the tires of that foreign car stopped spinning and the car started shaking heavily.
When I looked into the car while passing by, I was surprised to see Hatabata with a distorted and regretful face.
When I waved my hand while smiling, it seemed more effective than yelling. The horns echoed from behind.
“They wont do anything now, Carol-chan. It’s okay. After this, please enjoy the scenery leisurely.”
Perhaps she was relieved to see Miss Seti smiling in a funny way, so the one grabbing my arm tightly was now stuck to the window.
Is it a child’s privilege to change the behavior quickly?
I have lost all my strength so I left all my weight on the car seat.
After that we arrived at the multi-purpose building…Caro, Destiny,…What a weird sleepiness.
When I felt relieved, I fell asleep. I coudnt sleep much yesterday because of various reasons.
Even if you dont have a perverted heart, its hard to be with a woman in the same room.
I make excuses to myself and close my eyes to get a little sleep.
–You worked hard even though its just a game in the beta testing period. Lets give you this experience as an apology for bothering you due to this mistake.
My body sways and just before falling asleep comfortably, someone’s gentle voice echoes in my head.
It gently flutters into my head and heart with a compassionate tone.
I felt rude after only replying Thank you to her words.
“Yoshio, get up! Get up!”
Carol is making noise.
Have we arrived at the destination already?
“Oh, good morning. It’s already …”
When I opened my eyes, I see many log fences extending in my view.
If you slowly look around, you will find a forest filled with huge trees on the otherside of the fence.
When I turn to face back the front again, the door attached to the corner of the fence opens. People with familiar faces appear from inside.
“Eh?”
No matter how or where I look….the visible ones are the inhabitants of the Village of Fate.
