Chapter 136: Case Solved (3k)

This train is indeed just as Shuona said, it can only travel for a day at most.

But...

That doesn't mean it will really travel for a whole day!

Looking at the sun above his head, it has turned half a circle, and the train has no intention of slowing down and stopping. Will feels a little tired.

Luckily, there should be someone stationed in the observation car - maybe something went wrong when the train left at night, so there are a lot of dry food, otherwise Will and Shuona think they will starve to death on the train.

"Actually, this hard bread is quite delicious."

Shuona praised the hard bread.

But...

For Will, who is used to eating fine grains, this is a little bit of torture.

He looked at the hard bread in his hand, and he was entangled for a long time before he finally took a bite. Isn't the life of a young master who reincarnated here too wonderful?

"Well...at least you should drink some water for this? Are you going to chew it dry?"

"Hmm?"

Shuona suddenly handed him a glass of water.

It's just...

This glass of water looks a little strange.

For people who can do magic, there is no shortage of water. Will once thought about where the magic water came from. After thinking about it, it was probably the water vapor in the air.

He didn't think much about it and took the cup from Shuna.

Then...

"...Wait, this taste..."

He felt that the memory of his previous life was awakened.

It tasted different from ordinary water. This familiar taste, plus she got some sugar from nowhere.

The sweetness was accompanied by a kind of "only the first sip was particularly refreshing" pleasure.

"...Is this a carbonated drink? Shuna, are you also from that place-?!"

"What place? What is the thing you are talking about...carbon?"

Shuna tilted her head and didn't understand what Will said.

"Eh? You don't know what I'm talking about?"

"Well... If you want to ask how to make this... Hehe, I also discovered it by accident. It's a unique skill."

Shuna picked up a bottle, picked up the limestone that could be seen on the street from the side, and then sealed the bottle mouth.

Wait...

She wouldn't want...

"This thing uses fire magic at a fixed point, and the magnitude is controlled at about 9000 Sildenafil."

From a chemical point of view, carbon dioxide can be produced by high temperature, but high temperature is achieved by magic? And the temperature can be controlled through accurate data?

It turns out that this is also possible in this world? !

"Discharge the gas into the sugar water just prepared, seal it for a while, and fully absorb it. Then it will become the taste just now. It's amazing. How is it? Delicious, right?"

Xuna doesn't seem to know the real principle behind it, as if she burned stones to play with it.

This kind of behavior style that is full of exploration and always finds some knowledge close to the world outside of Will's original story...

Reminds Will of the protagonist Xiu in the original work.

The original work seems to add some "Wow, it turns out that magic can be explained by real physical chemistry" content to the work, and also makes Xiu behave a little different. There are often such plots where the natives find out things that exist in the world outside the story.

Adding the "black hair" that is indeed rare in this world, what is Xuna's identity...

Will began to doubt again.

Rather, he had never stopped doubting since he met Shuona.

Illusion, right?

After all, Shuona looked too lively and cheerful, which was completely different from the silent and crazy protagonist in the original work who seemed to have lost a hundred friends.

Even if she had a gender change, her personality would not have changed drastically? If the personality changed to the point where it was not the same person, then there would be no point in changing gender.

If I had to say, the only similarity should be...

It was very easy to get drunk, and after getting drunk, she could do such a crazy but reasonable thing as taking him on the train.

"It's really delicious."

Will sat down with the hard bread. Now that there was a carbonated drink that tasted like cola, he could accept such hard bread calmly.

"Yeah!"

"So, Shuona, do you often hitchhike?"

"Ah, it's not to save money. I have money. I just think it's a pity that such a cool transportation is only used to transport things. One day, I wondered what it would feel like to sit on it, and my destination happened to be Novis Town, so I hitchhiked on one to try."

"That's it?! Then... hard bread... you seem to eat it often?"

"Yes, I eat it often. I am an orphan, right? Anyway, I don't have parents, and I can only eat hard bread with the children who were adopted together."

Her tone was a little depressed.

But...

After saying that, Shuona seemed to be afraid that Will would pity her too much, and she patted his back hard to cover herself up.

"It's nothing. Anyway, I will go to school later, and I am super happy to explore the dungeon. I don't think I live worse than others."

But in fact, Will's heart-

Wow, what a traditional setting, even a "protagonist" setting.

It's completely different from him, who at least has a father and a good family background when he was a child.

In this world, orphans are not uncommon. The main reason is that dungeon exploration was indeed difficult before it was optimized by the Systrom family, and there were many cases of adventurers and their children being killed.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a special charity organization in Entaq to take care of orphans.

Since she grew up in an orphanage, Shuna should also have the last name of Bolor, right?

No wonder she didn't say her last name when she introduced herself. People with the last name of Bolor usually don't want to say their last name.

But...

Looking at Shuna who was smiling so freely, Will always felt that there was something wrong.

"By the way, Shuna, I'm not doubting you, but..."

"Hmm?"

Shuna tilted her head, opened her eyes wide, and her long black hair fluttered with her action.

"I always feel that you are not the same as the one in the letter...?"

Will remembered that S was not so lively and lively in the letter.

On the contrary, he was a person who spoke with reason and evidence, and used a lot of honorifics in his wording, and wrote in a very elegant style.

This is why Will always misunderstood S as a reliable adult uncle.

Now it seems a bit too hasty, this is a completely unfounded stereotype!

"Ah... this... this..."

Xuna seemed to be too embarrassed to speak up and scratched her head.

"Can I not answer?"

"Hmm? It seems like there is something hidden."

Will guessed it.

"If you tell me, I can consider treating you to dinner when you get off the bus later?"

"Okay! I say, it's all your fault--"

Xuna pointed at Will and said.

"Is it my fault?"

"Because... because when I first received your anonymous question..."

Hmm? Anonymous question?

Will then remembered that he and S had been communicating for a long time, making it seem like they had known each other for a long time.

But in fact, at the beginning, it was because he encountered problems in the training of Iel, and someone suggested that he go to the Adventurer's Association to write an anonymous question and get a reply to get to know each other.

Perhaps it was because the subsequent communications were too frequent-although it was also anonymous mail delivered by the Adventurer's Association, Will naturally threw this initial communication into the trash can of memory.

"What happened to that anonymous question?"

"You..." Shuna rolled her hair with her hands, "You wrote it very seriously."

"Seriously?!"

Will admitted that he had forgotten this too.

It was a long time ago. At that time, he had not even attended a formal school and had just started to learn the formal writing of this world.

Perhaps he took the anonymous question that the Adventurer's Association wanted to make public very seriously, and was afraid that no one would reply if he wrote it too impolitely, so he specially studied quite formal written language.

I didn't expect that something he wrote casually at that time would have such a big impact a few years later.

The biggest impact is...

"...When I saw that question, I thought of what your question was in an instant. Now it's not a difficult problem. Even if you are little Will, you should be able to think of the reason now, right?"

"Yes. However, I admit that my thinking was too limited to books at that time."

Will took a bite of hard bread.

With the carbonated soda that Shuna gave him, the hard bread was indeed not so difficult to swallow.

"But you wrote too formally. This was my first time replying, so I wrote back and forth carefully for a whole day and studied a lot of calligraphy language."

"To be honest, I also studied a lot before writing that."

"It's not good to be too colloquial when you write too much, so it's like this later. To be honest...it's quite difficult to write a letter like that, and I have to pull out a few strands of hair every time."

"Then...then it seems to be my fault."

The case is solved.

It turns out that the origin of everything is that he wrote the letter too seriously at the beginning.

"To be honest, I...I thought you were some kind of boudoir lady, and your handwriting was so delicate and beautiful."

Xuna rolled up her long black hair with her hands and buried half of her face in her hair.

"Oh. It's just because the Systrom family really values ​​calligraphy. To be honest, I've been practicing for a long time... Wait, you just said you thought I was a lady from a boudoir?!"

"Well... it's been a very... long time, three months? If your letter paper wasn't from the Systrom family, and I just happened to know that there were no women of the same age in the Systrom family, I would probably have thought it until now?"

"That's it!"

"You're so excited, what's wrong?"

Will looked at Shuna like this...

Great!

After hearing Shuna's words, his sense of guilt instantly dropped to zero - although it probably wasn't that high before.

"Sure enough! We are so destined, so similar! You see, I mistook your gender, and you also misunderstood mine before, we are even!"

He also patted Shuna's back vigorously.

"Do you have to compete in a place like this?!"
