"We've been traveling for almost an hour now, right?" I ask Marilyn, who's currently sitting beside me with her head resting on my shoulders.
"Actually... It's just been thirty minutes, master. Do you even realize how fast this carriage is moving?" Marilyn replies, her head still resting nonchalantly on my shoulders.
"Can it go faster?"

"It can go faster... However, the faster it goes, the more energy it consumes. You don't want to know how much energy this carriage used to guzzle when it was driven by the elf monarch," Marilyn says with a wide grimace that doesn't suit her.
"Well, we can just buy some energy crystals," I say with a shrug.
"Yeah... that's true, but you don't understand how expensive energy crystals can be. There are different grades, and this carriage uses high-grade crystals," Marilyn explains, sounding a bit worried this time.
