Reasons

This time, Erend said that he would take over the wheel of the car.

He purposely did that because he thought it would be easier for everyone.

What Erend said was something quite surprising. Although actually not something that is beyond reasonable.

If Adrien drives the car. He might become too shocked to keep the wheel.

The car had been running for several minutes after they finished filling up the gas.

The sky above them was so blue. The sun was getting higher but not yet scorching hot.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Aurdis who was sitting next to Erend who was driving asked. Her question represents the curiosity of the others.

Saeldir, who had been putting on a bored face, suddenly looked up at Erend with concern.

Everything Erend says always turns out to be something big. That something includes not only their world but also their world.

So it's only natural that Saeldir pays full attention this time.
