First of All, Let's Hide My Younger Brother

First, Let's Hide My Younger Brother Chapter 21

  - February 23, 2023I felt quite calm.

No one will believe me even if I say the truth of what's going to happen in the future.

There’s no need to force those who do not understand.

In my case, that’s the truth of this world, which I have learned from my previous life.

It’s a great harvest for me that Franz now possess [Shitsuro]. Everything will change from here on.

I headed to the platform, hoping that I made a change of the future.

The platform was quieter than the station because only people with train tickets could enter here.

There were two types of trains you can take at Burke station.

One is an engine train using steam locomotives and the other is a magic train using magic stones.

The magic train works in a kind of a warp concept, and it was a magic ball that could arrive anywhere within 5 minutes.

The magic train costs about 100 times more than that of a steam train, so even nobles do not ride it often.

So, I see a lot of nobles like me who are waiting to for the steam train to arrive.

This is probably the only train station where both commoners and nobles can be seen in one space.

At this moment, a shout of admiration could be heard from the crowd filling the platform.

“It’s a magic train!”

“I’ve never actually seen one before.”

“Dad, look there! Over there! It’s a magic train!”

From the direction where people’s eyes are gathered, I see a train emitting a twinkling light.

The exclusive rail on which the magic train runs was cut off in the air in the form of a vertical rise from the ground.

I wonder how that train runs in the sky.

As if living up to expectations, the magic train rushed fast on the rails, leaving a scattering star-like light everywhere

“It’s running through the sky!”

“Woah, that’s so cool.”

The magic train, which left the railings that were cut off in the middle, seemed to fly through the sky and disappeared in the air.

Glitter sprayed by the magic train were still scattered everywhere, floating in the air.

“Ah…it left.”

“That takes you to another country in 5 minutes, right?”

“I want to ride it once.”

Even if the train is going to a distant country, the travel time is only about 5 minutes.

Steam engine trains powered by physical force could not keep up with magic trains, no matter how advanced the technology is.

Judging from its efficiency, the magic train’s price might have been rather cheap.

Only the passengers who were watching the spectacle and the guards dressed in black uniforms remained where the magic train had left.

The magic train is a kind of train that can travel to a foreign country in a short amount of time, so criminals would use it as a way to escape.

Therefore, the Imperial Palace would do a thorough investigation of the passengers’ identity who boards the magic train.

It’s also for the same reason that guards in black uniforms are present.

As the passengers moved towards the platform one by one, waiting for the train, I found a girl was slumped on a bench as if she’s about to collapse.

She looked a little younger than me.

As if I was possessed, I couldn’t help but gaze at the girl, whose face was so beautiful under the black hood that covered her hair completely.

Despite the sweat that drenched her white complexion, and her trembling pale pink lips, the young girl still looked beautifully elegant.

At first glance, one can tell that she comes from a wealthy family. She was dressed in a beautiful, bright blue dress that glimmered in the light, 

“Lady Estelle, are you okay?”

“Please have some water. Drinking cold water will make you feel better.”

It seems that the girl was not feeling well, as she drank several sips of water and spit them out.

“Is your head hurting?”

“Can’t you walk at all?”

The women seemed to be maids, surrounding the young girl named Estelle, and were busily fanning her.

The girl appeared to dislike the gentle breeze of the fan, waving it away with her hand.
