Chapter 20 (2/2)

Rüdiger peeked through the window.

“We will soon arrive at Neuhardt.”

“Neuhardt?”

“Yes. From here, we will transfer onto the train. As soon as we get off the train, we will arrive at Winterwald, so before we board, we should do some shopping at Neuhardt.”

Ah, right. The city, where the train station is located, is Neuhardt.

Even if it was one of my favorite novels, it’s been a while since I last read it, so I completely forgot about the names of these areas.

I may have forgotten the name, but the reason why I still remembered Neuhardt was simple, even if it was just a city we passed through to reach our final destination.

Here, there was an episode where Rüdiger completely transformed Luca into a young lad fit to be a member of the wealthy aristocratic family.

This was the moment where the old Luca, in ragged, moth-eaten clothing, became a young gentleman first savoring the life of the riches.

This was one of my favorite episodes, where Luca’s thrill and awestruck continued with the banquets basked in luxury.

I still wasn’t pleased with going to Winterwald; I feel like if I could, I would turn back right now.

But, if I could actually immerse myself in the small scenes that I loved firsthand, I wouldn’t mind as much.

I wonder how eager Luca was since what I read in the novel must’ve felt different from looking at it afar from the sidelines. Of course, you can’t beat the real deal…

Besides, since Luca was like an angel, he would look good in anything he wore.

A navy blue children’s tailcoat, sleek umber equestrian uniform too…

The detailed description of his outfits from the novel came across my mind.

It was essentially picture-perfect… Does this world not have cameras yet? If it were up to me, I would like to capture the images in my head as photos.

The thought of dressing up Luca piqued my ever-growing enthusiasm.

Unable to hide it, my face was flushed with excitement as I spoke.

“It would be nice if we arrived at Neuhardt quickly. I’m looking forward to it.”
