Intro
Whether it was two weeks ago or five days ago, Lady Felicienne kept calling for me so much that I couldn't find any opening to talk to other people. Maybe that's why I'm starving for a passenger today. Ah, I want to talk to someone else soon and wash away all the bizarre things that happened while I was with the young lady. So, I gently steered my beautiful beloved Peugeot 201 onto the road and began to drive around.
Whistle—
I whistled lightly while looking for people on the street reaching out their hands, shouting for someone to please give them a ride! Hmm-hmm~ As long as they aren't a nightmare customer, everything is okay today. Please, God! Help me out~ As for my ancestors... I think I'm fine without your help today!
I hummed and lingered around the area. But for some reason, I can't seem to catch a single passenger today...
Thinking I have the worst luck, I finally got out of the car, took the keys, and stepped out of the driver's seat. After locking the door, I started walking lightly along the sidewalk. Ah, yes. I guess this kind of freedom is the sweetest. If there are no passengers, that's fine by me. I can spend this time however I want, enjoying this freedom and leisure. So, I strolled smoothly through the sidewalk.
While walking, I saw someone standing on the sidewalk across the street. I couldn't see clearly, but they were definitely a (probably) completely introverted passenger waiting for a taxi to stop. There's no way a taxi would just stop if they only keep glancing at the road like that. Thinking how remarkable they were, I rushed back to my car, started the engine, and made a U-turn to the other side of the road.
I pulled up right in front of the passenger, rolled down the window, gave a light wink, and smiled.
"Need a ride, traveler? I can take you anywhere in Paris! I'm Adele, the coolest taxi driver in all of Paris!"
I patted my chest gently to reassure the passenger. Then, I watched with a relaxed smile as the passenger opened the passenger door and climbed in.
As the passenger sat down, I gripped the steering wheel with a smile. Since they were my first passenger of the day, I was dying to take them anywhere. I turned my head to look at them.
"Where shall I take you? The Eiffel Tower, Paris's famous landmark? Or a famous cultural heritage site? Or perhaps the Fabre Museum? Just say the word! Adele's taxi can take you anywhere~"
Feeling excited, a smile naturally formed on my face. The passenger seemed happy too and told me their destination with a smile. Hmm, I've heard of it, and I've been there before. 'Great,' I thought as I stepped smoothly on the accelerator.
"Alright then, here we go!"
Just then, a small red dragon fluttered its wings and landed gently on Adele's shoulder. It tapped Adele's shoulder with its front paw.
Grrr... Rawr—
It seemed to be grumbling, as if it were sulking because she wasn't playing with it.
"...There he goes again."
I chuckled and took one hand off the wheel to place it on Pepe's head, stroking him. What a jealous little thing.
"We're almost there, passenger! Get ready to hop out!"
