The Chaudgals were fairly aggressive. They were interested in everything around here, constantly triggering the security system. What drew their curiosity the most was Char Non-Violence.
âOh my! Nothing less of you, Lady Indra! Your cheats are incredible! You built a âcar,â didnât you!?â
âAs a replacement for a carriage, yeah⊠I usually ride this one here if I donât have to observe a high level of decorum.â
Iâd be totally okay with Char, but sadly this world wouldnât allow me to use him for every occasion. Duke Chaudgal also latched on.
âThisâŠoutstanding! So not even the royal sorcerers are able to match you, Indra!?â
âNo, theyâre not. The only one whoâs somewhat on her tracks would be our local elf, I guess,â Sword chimed in.
Damsel Scarlet got immediately triggered by that, causing the duke to also latch on, ââE-Elf!?ââ
ïŒ
So, we introduced Plana to them, and since they had taken an interest in the plates, Sahad as well. And while at it, we also introduced the brave, Mr. Amato.
âAh! A diligent noble lady!â He cried out as soon as he saw Damsel Scarlet.
âŠHey? What about me?
ïŒ
Damsel Scarlet apparently became unable to hold back after seeing Car Non-Violence, and unleashed an adorable pleading pose in my direction.
âSay, Lady Indra. What about a car? Is a car no good? Canât you make me one? I got my driverâs license during spring break before I was reincarnated! I was super eager about driving all over the place, just to die soon after!â
âŠwas what she told me, butâŠ
ââŠI wonât mind if youâre okay with ărentingă it. My magic tools are all ărent-onlyă. Except for the items I made for Swords, I hold the highest priority with all other items. Other people are only given rental rights. Are you still okay with that?â
âYep! If itâs a rental car, Iâll actually be able to have you do the maintenance for me!â
âŠSo thatâs her take on it, huh?
âWell, youâre not wrong about that. However, Iâll demand you to take care of the daily maintenance. Then again, you probably wonât do it yourself as a noble lady, so have your servants take care of it.â
âI knowww! Yay! Yay!â
She was dancing around in joy. Anyway, sheâs cute, so Iâll allow it. And humor her.
Having watched that exchange, Sword retorted, ââŠHey, why are you oglinâ women with a lewd look? Beinâ weak to cute women is a fault of old men, isnât it?â
Shut it! Iâm not ogling! Iâm simply admiring!
âI believe in the justice of cuteness, regardless of race, gender, and age.â
When I made such a clear statement, I got casually rejected by Damsel Scarlet, âWhoaaa, Lady Indra, so you swing both ways? But, you should give up on me since Iâm a big fan of the prince?â
Sure, even in my wildest dreams I havenât thought that I want to become your lover.
âLetâs stay great friends from now on, okay?â I struck back with a smile.
ïŒ
Anyway, I made it. After being told that she wanted it to be like a camping car, similar to Char, if possible, I quickly and easily adjusted the designs, used a classy rouge as color, and finished building the car.
âThis is a Char Non-Violence â Special Edition, Iâd say.â
âWhat a long name.â
I was shot down, but it canât be helped, can it? Damsel Scarlet showered me with questions as she looked all over its exterior.
âIt doesnât have a side mirror?â
âIt comes with cameras.â
While at it, I also explained the specs to Damsel Scarlet.
âIt uses biometric authentication. Please make sure that only someone, who had their biometrics registered, opens the door. If someone else touches it, the antitheft magic will activate.â
Damsel Scarlet froze.
ââŠâŠIsnât that scary?â
âThey just donât have to touch it. Iâm sorry to say, but this is a spec of the car. I canât stand people trying to touch my things all over as they please. I recommend you have your servicemen register their biometric data. ââAh, you can only drive this if youâre registered. âŠHowever, Iâll hand you a key card for emergency situations.â
I showed her the key card.
âRegistering with this key card allows the card holder to drive for one hour per day. Since Iâm going to give you three such cards, youâll be able to drive three hours per day. Anyone wanting to drive for longer than that requires my permission. ââOf course, before that, theyâll also need your permission though, Damsel Scarlet. And a driving course.â
Since we have no traffic rules around here, itâs not all that difficult to just drive a car. I mean, they mostly run on auto anyway. And they have an in-built navigation system.
âI took the liberty to incorporate a speed limit. The roads arenât really all that great, so itâs possible to topple over if you race too much. Ah, moreover, driving while drunk is forbidden. If the car systems detect alcohol in the air, theyâll stop the car.â
ââŠYou sure added a huge bunch of things to prevent car accidents, havenât you?â
Of course I did. I get angry if something I built gets broken, you know?
