After All, This is My First Time
Scalding Sands - Silk City
*vroom vroom sfx throughout this episode because they are in the limo*
Kalim
The car’s chilly, right? Sit back and relax, guys!
Trey
Even if you say so… I’d tense up just from receiving such VIP-level treatment.
Being guarded by escorts and travelling via a super luxury car… These are distant dreams for an ordinary student, after all.
Malleus
……
Jamil
Is something the matter, Malleus? You’ve had a stern look for a while now.
…AH! C-Could it be that we’d made a blunder earlier that ended up spoiling your mood?
Trey
…Isn’t he spacing out instead? He’s looking off into the distance.
Cater
Now that you mention it, he hasn’t said anything since we got in the car…
Trey
And he’s been looking out the window…the entire time…
Trey and Cater
Could it be…motion sickness!?
Jamil and Kalim
HUUUUHHHH!?
Kalim
A-Are you okay, Malleus!? Should we stop the car for now!?
Jamil
Stay calm, Kalim! I have motion sickness medicine prepared for such a situation!
Malleus
…How noisy. Do I really seem like someone who would be afflicted with trifling ailments like motion sickness?
I was just revelling in this marvel you call “car”.
Jamil
I-Is that so… That’s a relief to hear.
Cater
If you think about it, being quiet is already his usual self, yeah~
Trey
So we were jumping to conclusions… Goodness.
Grim
Then, waddya lookin’ at, Greenhorns? Is there anything interesting out there?
Malleus
I was just admiring the scenery.
After all, this is my first time riding a car.
Jamil, Kalim, Trey, Grim and Cater
WHAAAAAATTTTT!!!???
Malleus
There is hardly any machinery in Briar Valley. In addition, flying is a much quicker form of transportation.
I used to think that there was no need to specially use land-crawling apparatuses and the like. However…
Now that I’ve ridden one, it’s spacious and certainly comfortable. It’s not bad.
With this, I can finally understand why you humans use such cars so frequently.
Trey
This is the most special of cars, though…
Cater
It’s rare for anyone to have their first car ride on such a super luxury car, yeah~
Grim
Still, when we first arrived in the Scalding Sands, I thought the heat was gonna be the end of me!
Cater
It’s all thanks to Kalim that we can get to chill in an air conditioned car ♪
Trey
…But the temperature’s set a little too low, don’t you think?
Grim
Really? It’s just right for your majesty here, yanno.
Cater
C’mon, that’s only because Gri-gri is so fluffy~
Kalim
The temperature outside is usually hot here, so it’s a norm to have our air conditioners set to lower temperatures!
Jamil
That’s why there are also many who fall ill due to the temperature difference. It seems that it is too cold for everyone here, correct?
Malleus
If so, would you like me to spit some fire to warm you all up?
Trey, Jamil and Cater
!?
Kalim
Ahaha~! Oh, Malleus! You say such funny things!
Trey
…When it comes to Malleus, though, I can never tell if he’s joking or serious.
Cater
Feels like I’ve cooled off way more than I had to and it’s probably because of the chill that went down my spine.
Jamil
Allow me to ask the chauffeur to raise the temperature a little. Please wait for a moment.
Trey
…Phew, it’s much more bearable now. Thanks, Jamil.
