Chapter 20 Long Congestion

The rain in the middle of the city makes the traffic feel heavy. Puddles in the city make congestion longer. Many other vehicles pulled over for a moment around the road. Waiting for this rain to stop.

The vehicle that pulled over was blocking the other riders. Vincent who was driving it complained about the state of this waterlogged City.

"Allah. pake flood all this way. It's jammed." With his angry expression.

The situation in the middle of the city is getting worse coupled with trucks that pass around. Many vehicles broke down due to the puddle. With forced me and Vincent had to wait a while due to the traffic jam caused.

Vincent tuned music on the car radio. Relaxing songs accompany this bottleneck. The anger that had come out for a moment began to slowly subside due to the song that was installed. The resulting tones are able to make one's mind calm again.

We're both stuck in this jam. I can drive a little bit at a time. The government is not working properly to overcome the congestion that occurs. The government is now more focused on the events that caused major disasters such as the Dungeon Break and the Tower.

The city's infrastructure is now out of control as it should be. The drains do not work properly because of the covering of the soil. Making rainwater inundated can not recede quickly. As a result, puddles are left in the middle of this crowded city road.

"When this is smooth.the puddle can not disappear quickly what yes." Said the slightly upset Vincent.

"Patience to Vin. It still rains that way anyway. This old thing."

I responded to Vincent's annoyance about this over-stalled city road. I'm guessing maybe this traffic jam came from the traffic lights up ahead. Behind and beside we were filled with vehicles.

I see them as upset too. City transportation like the Bus is now a little late from its schedule. The car in front is now moving slowly, Vincent directly stuck the gas. However, before long the car in front did not move back.

"This little gesture. There's no traffic cop to control what's up."

"Then Vin was patient."

I tried to calm down Vincent who was upset by the traffic jam. Despite having heard a quiet song, Vincent's emotions only subsided a little. Not making his frustration because the traffic jam disappeared.

********

We have been stuck in this traffic for 20 minutes. Not going well either way. The rain that had been raining slowly began to subside. But, there was still this long traffic jam. We only moved about 200m from where we were.

People started to get out one by one from the car. They were upset because the bottleneck wasn't over yet.

"Woe, who's ahead again. Forward woe Forward this behind daritadi wait." Said one of the people who got out of his car.

"Tau nih's. I'm tired of waiting in the car."

They seemed to be expressing what was on his mind. Vincent was provoked by their words.

"Go ahead. Don't be put in place. It's daritadi still here." Vincent spoke with his head out of the car.

Shit, over time I also bete with this situation. I wanted to get out of the car and walk to the front. Seeing what's ahead doing to make a traffic jam like this.

In about 5 minutes, we didn't move at all. Makes me upset because it's too jammed like never before. Vincent just put his head on the steering wheel. He had no energy to be upset anymore.

I decided to go outside the car and check what was going on in front. I opened the door on the right and got out of the car.

"Where are you going Raph?"

"I want to check what's up ahead. Sampe jammed gini no motion."

"Oh Yaudah. Don't forget to come back."

I went ahead past the sidewalk on the side of the road. Walk for about 3 minutes. I see, there are a lot of people who stop at the edge of traffic lights. My curiosity appeared.

{There's a fuckin' rame-rame. Kusamperin by dah.}

I approached the crowd of people who were there. Some people hold their phones like they are/taking pictures. I couldn't see what was happening because of the crowd. I took the initiative to ask one of the crowd.

I patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man.

"Excuse me sir."

The man looked at me in confusion.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"What happened to the gini crowd?"

"There was an accident there. 3 cars and a truck rolled over."

"Well! Accident because of what, sir?" I was surprised to hear that.

"Ga knows too. I also just saw. So don't really know the chronology."

The man did not know the exact chronology of the accident. I thanked him for giving me the information.

"Thank you sir."

"Together."

I also returned to the car with my uniform slightly wet because of the rain which was still in a drizzle. Get in the car as soon as possible.

I opened my uniform in the car and put on the shirt I was wearing today. While opening my uniform, Vincent asked what was going on up front.

"What's in front of Raph?"

I'm telling you what made this long traffic jam.

"There was an accident up ahead. That's what makes it jam so like gini. ehm." Opening the uniform.

"Oh, the accident turned out. Quickly from that time no movement. Yes, that's it."

"Would not want us to have to wait until the vehicles that were in an accident were immediately cleaned by the officer." Put my wet uniform in my bag.

"Until this afternoon it looks like.it is also impossible to catch his old accident quickly. Especially the rain conditions like this."

"I guess.."

Vincent and I waited until the accident was cleared up. Vincent was busy with his smartphone while waiting for the bottleneck to be resolved. I just sat quietly leaning my hand between the windows of the car.

Listen to the tuned music and think about the system that Triniade gives. I still don't understand how it works. Especially after defeating Adela, I got a notification from Vania.

「2 SP has been added thanks to his win. Please use wisely this Point」

What is SP and how to use it. I tried to open my status window.

The status window appeared before me. I just had a chance to check it, it turns out that my Level has risen to Level 3. It's just, the other status is still the same as when I won against Frans.

I had 3 SP when I saw it in my Status window. It was under Unique Skill. I'm trying to communicate with Triniade.

×Hey. Did you hear me?

Triniade did not respond. It seemed like he was doing something so as not to respond to my words. It's Yaudah, I'll think about it myself later.

************

1 Hour later, finally the congestion began to slowly resolve. We managed to get through the traffic jam after 1 hour. Huft.I think we'll both be in this jam till night.

Passing through the traffic light, I saw a car crushed unceremoniously on the side of the road. There's a tow truck also carrying the skeleton of the remaining car. Looks like the accident was bad enough to make a car destroyed like that.

"Gerrin was also his accident. Ampe is destroyed like that." Mumbled myself.

"It looks like it's in a fast-speed position. If it's slow, it might be like that."

Vincent drove all over to see the wreck. It seems like it is as Vincent said, the tight position involving 2 cars and 1 other truck makes the car body destroyed as badly as it was destroyed.

Thanks to the accident, we had to wait about 2 hours stuck in the traffic jam. The rain that had fallen was now gone. The small splashes of water in the streets began to dry slowly.

Vincent drove through the city centre at 80km/h. Stable speed for a BMW M4 Car. People passed around the sidewalk there. I looked to the side with my head resting my right hand against the window of the door.

They-they don't seem to be too busy with Dungeon Break events that can happen at any time. They were not worried that a Dungeon Break would suddenly appear in front of them. Busy with their lives without thinking about the threatening dangers around.

Wearing fashionable clothes without thinking about their safety. Today, the city that was once still left behind with the times. Started to erode with the era of modernization around them.

*********

Located in the Stuttgarter City Region, the sky has begun to orange, blue light is now turned into reddish Oren. The clock shows at 18:12. it has started to enter at night and we both just arrived in the city of Stuttgarter.

It would take another 1 or 2 kilometers to get to the Solitude Area. Fortunately the streets of Stuttgarter are not as crowded as the streets of Freiburg. So that we can get there faster than expected.

I saw Vincent yawn while driving. With my initiative, I talked to him to replace him driving.

"Vin, you look sleepy so horrified. Here I am the one who replaced."

"Ah? What Vin, blee.blee." while moving his head.

It seems like he's already sleepy. It is quite dangerous to drive in a sleepy condition. I'd better advise him not to drive alone next time.

"I'm the one who took over here. You sleep there."

"Hoam."

Vincent pulled the car over for a moment. I switched positions with him. Now, I'm the one in control of the wheel right now. Vincent who had just exchanged a sitting position immediately closed his eyes.

I think he was very sleepy because of the jam and the song on his radio. I plugged the gas back to go home in place of that sleeping Vincent. Looking at the rearview mirror in the right direction ensures that no vehicles are passing around.

I returned to the main Road after seeing the desolate conditions. Driving all the way to my residence.

*********

20 Minutes passed, finally arriving right in front of my residence. I woke Vincent who was asleep.

"Wake Vin. It's a nyampe." While moving Vincent's shoulders.

His closed eyes opened slowly. He looked out the window.

"Have you arrived?"

"Yes has arrived in front of my house. Take the wheel again."

Vincent is Placing His Hands forward. Continue by moving his body to the right and left. He yawned back and immediately covered his mouth with his hands.

"Jude, you go out first. I still cuss my life."

"OK. don't forget to go home. I'll fall asleep in front."

"Yes, you just went in there. Abis came in and I went straight home."

"Jude."

I got out of the car like Vincent said.

"Bye Vin."

"Bye too. Hoam.."

I went into my residence. The condition of my luminous residence Because it was night made like an attraction of light. Scanning to open the door.

scan Accepted, welcome Mr. Raphael.

The door opened slowly, in the living room, there was already a Mother and Father sitting there. Along with Sister Lily and Brother Kaizo. I don't know what they're gonna talk about.

"Tumben just came home, son, why are you?" My mother asked me.

"I'm stuck in a traffic jam Mother.."

"You got the car?"

"Not bring it."

"Keep why get stuck when not bring a car?" Mother was astonished.

"I was riding with Vincent earlier. He took the car to school by chance. He invited me to be with him. Yes I've gone down his will." I explained what happened.

"Oh. so. Yes, you went to change clothes first. Later after changing clothes back here again. Your clothes look so cute."

"Hehehe. happened to be my uniform wetness of the rainbow nation Mother. I took a shower, Mother."

"Yes, that's fast."

I went to my room to take a shower and change my wet clothes
