30.5. The Intermezzo Part 5
"Berati we can make Baghdad Battery to charge this electronic equipment"
"What are you talking about? How big does it take and how much copper and citron to charge it to the brim?"
"Or can we make some kind of diesel engine?"
"Where can we get the materials to make that machine? How much more can you get the fuel?"
"Hm, if the steam engine?"
"We still need the materials and the people who can make the furnace and the piston"
"Oh-oh, I have an idea. How about we figure out a way to convert magic into energy power?"
"Then how can we find a way if we just can't use magic?"
"Oh, we can ask Lily for help. I think he must be very good at using magic. Uh, by the way, why haven't I ever seen Lily use her magic?"
"Truely, does the magic she has the same as Jean's?"
"You mean the one to make the iron plate shine?"
"So is it okay for us to leave them?" Soon Lucia interrupted Nata and Aksa's debate, which had already happened almost this early, before Jean had a chance to react.
It had been two weeks since they met with Lugwin to plan an attack on Kotaraja. Now they are on the border of Elbrasta.
"I've explained the situation and the plan in detail. I have also written a backup plan if there are things that are not expected to happen" replied Nata.
"But is it really going to be okay?" Looks Lucia worried.
"Then why are the three of you still following us? Didn't you leave your hometown yesterday?" This time Aksa spoke to a trio of hunters who rode beside their horse-drawn carriage.
"Because it seems interesting to follow the two of you" Huebert replied with an expanding smile on his horse.
"really. We have asked permission from our village chief, family and relatives there, that we will go on an adventure and hone our talents" Deuxter added.
"You guys are weird hunters. But it is okay that your decision to follow the messenger of the gods is not wrong" said Aksa who returned unheeded by others.
"Are you princess? Why are you still following us?" This time Nata asked Lucia.
"I'm not following you. Both of us just happened to be in the same direction as you" said Lucia evasive, "Then after Garya you were going to go where?" Continue with questions.
"It is possible to go to Baltra to visit Couran" Nata replied, "Maybe we will start growing crops in the village" he added later. Which Lucia considered as a non-serious answer.
"But I wanted to meet Lumire first. I miss the Azzure merchant's cooking. I hope we can meet them when we get to Garya later" Aksa said.
"If you are a princess? What will you do when you get to the place you're going?" Ask Nata later.
"Married?" Aksa timps with a tone that is like explaining and not asking.
Lucia silently stared at Nata and Aksa in turn. It was as if he was confirming the answer he was about to give.
Looks like the trio of hunters turned towards Lucia. They were also curious to hear the answer.
"I'll think about it on my way to Garya" Lucia replied later.
