Chapter 407

Episode 407 I am here (2)

“Frederick.”

Blue.

Even though I unpacked, I couldn’t rest right away. The longer time was delayed, the more difficult it was to appease, so there was nothing we could do.

“...We arrived within 30 minutes.”

Grrr.

As expected, I must have built up a lot of anger even in that short period of time. Frederick vibrated his vocal cords for a long time and bit my hand. The floor is full of marks made by hooves.

“I had no choice because this place was large. “I’m not late because I want to be late.”

Grrrr!

Are all horses usually like this? Or is this because he has a special lineage?

I gave up one hand and gently stroked the back of her neck as if I was talking to a lover. Frederick, who chewed his gloves until they left marks, took a long time to release my hands.

“If it were a normal person, it would have bruised...”

If he had really bitten it, his hand would have been torn off, so this would have been a good save, but...

Anyway, the bastard has a temper as bad as that of the Meister. I held the reins in one hand, barely swallowing down the opinion that would have made Frederick bump his shoulder if he had heard it.

If I was so angry because of boredom, I needed to let it go.

“let’s go.”

Purruk.

Well, I was also feeling stuffy from being in the basket all day.

I left the stable with Frederick, putting aside my mental fatigue. The stable keeper did not stop me, as if the stable keeper had previously told me.

“The training site is over there.”

Again, he told me which direction to go. It was something I was thankful for. I was wondering if I should ask and find it like I did when I visited the stable.

“It’s pretty spacious.”

There is no grass, but if it were this wide, I could just leave it loose. I gently rubbed Frederick’s back as I looked at the wide open space provided outside.

“Run as much as you want to run.”

Now, since there are no people and the ground is hard, you can run around and play as much as you want.

Tuk.

“...?”

But instead of moving forward, Frederick kept bumping his shoulder towards me. It was questionable at first, but as it was repeated, the intention became quite blatant.

“...Okay, I got it.”

I didn’t bring a saddle... but I guess it’ll be okay.

I followed Frederick’s request and climbed onto his back. Then Frederick jumped out. This was before I even got into my proper posture.

“You bastard.”

I almost fell backwards. I braced my thighs and barely managed to hold on, then quickly got into a proper position. Frederick looked excited and started hopping around the training ground with me on his back. It was like a wild horse that had just been tamed.

Phew!

Is this a rodeo or a tame horse? The fact that it’s jumping up and down and trying to throw me off makes me wonder if that’s why it picked me up in the first place.

“You’re being grumpy...!”

It’s so dynamic that it feels like you might fall off the horse if you’re not careful. I withstood Frederick’s grumpiness solely with my physical ability. If I pulled the reins too much, Frederick would get more angry, so I didn’t pull that part properly.

I put a lot of strength into my thighs to maintain the strength so that Frederick’s torso would not fall while not putting too much pressure on him.

Heehee!

“You must have been very excited!”

The time spent on Suzaku’s back was very difficult. After enduring Frederick’s jumping a few more times, I finally managed to get a good grip on the reins.

Knock knock knock knock. Frederick seemed to have lost his temper a bit and started walking out of consideration for me. Pyeongbo. The legs moving in 4 beats were cheerful.

“That’s splendid work.”

At about that time, the person who had been watching secretly from earlier started talking. Jewelry made of seashells and coral dangle from his hair and collar.

“It was such a wonderful sight that my inspiration soared. Thanks to you, I think I can create new works.”

“is it.”

I was just putting on a shit show by matching Frederick’s tunes. If someone else got something out of it, that’s a good thing.

I got off Frederick’s back and brushed off his gratitude. The other person’s scarlet hair was shaking in the wind that just happened to blow. The hair was thin and broad, like a fish’s fin, and was like a layered veil.

“Would you like to take a look?”

I’ve seen reptile-like ones a few times, but this is my first time seeing fish-like Shaggi... What now?

“...?”

But even after doing that, people were startled and screamed. Well, from their point of view, it was like a 190cm tall man and an even taller horse suddenly appeared, so I understood. I led Frederick to avoid those who had collapsed.

“I think this is enough.”

I gave Frederick a signal by patting his stomach. Frederick resisted a little, but eventually he started to slow down as we continued to give him signals.

It was about time we reached the end of the corridor around the corner.

“oh my god! “Timanuk!”

“Huhhh.”

Hmm, looks like the scarlet friend has just turned a corner. We are already at the end of the corridor.

I took a step down the new hallway to get my stalker off my mind.

“Timanuk, are you okay?”

“Why are you here like this...”

But a name that came from beyond the corridor suddenly grabbed me. I didn’t know why. I don’t know the name because it doesn’t sound familiar to my ears... It’s definitely a name I don’t know...

“Timanuk...?”

Why does it feel like I’ve heard of it?

“Lord Job!”

Just as I was hesitating for a moment, Daniel came from across the hallway waving his hand. My mind, which had been digging through memories, returned.

“What’s going on? “Has something happened?”

“Oh, that’s not it, don’t worry. I’m just going to see the city, and I came to ask if you would like to go with me. “At that time, a brother I had worked with had just finished his tour and was coming to this city.”

“Are you leaving the guidance to that brother?”

“yes. “I’m not a stubborn person, so if you ask me a favor, I’ll gladly oblige.”

It’s a city tour with a guide. That’s a pretty harsh story...

I reflexively turned my eyes to Frederick. Purruk. Frederick tapped me with his shoulder as if he was going to cause trouble if I left him alone.

“...I think I need to take him with me too. Is that okay?”

“...Well, it’ll be okay. “Let’s go first.”

I just hope that Daniel’s acquaintances know more about places where they can spend time with horses. I walked away with Daniel, feeling a little solemn.

“for a moment...!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice called to me.

“please...!”

Have you given up on that yet? I looked a little tired and just stared straight ahead. “...?” Conversely, Daniel’s head was facing behind me.

“Uh... I think there is someone who calls the Lord.”

“Ignore it. “He’s a magician who comes to me asking for my cooperation, inspiration and all.”

“ah. All right.”

Daniel, who immediately understood what I was saying, agreed with me. Our bodies left the place in a hurry.

“I know this is a bias, but wizards seem really strange.”

“I admit that they are a group in which it is difficult to find normal humans.”

It would be nice if everyone had the same level of politeness as the Archmage.

Daniel and I arrived at the temple, talking a lot about it. The divine power flowing out softly was a little unpleasant.

“Please wait here for a moment.”

“Sure.”

Still, this is an acceptable level. I stood at a distance near the temple entrance, receiving Daniel’s consideration. The priests passing by looked at me with wide eyes, and then rolled their eyes again when they saw the badge hanging around my neck. This was repeated several times.

“A person might want to get married, is that so wrong?!”

Then, suddenly, I saw a Sland tribe with purple hair coming towards me. His head is braided with a fabric decoration reminiscent of a butterfly. It had an appearance that seemed somehow familiar, but even more unique.

“You idiot, who says it’s wrong for me to want to get married? Is it love even if I treat you just a little bit well? “Just stop doing things that make your heart flutter.”

“But what can I do with my heart pounding!”

Maybe it’s because it’s on the front line, but I seem to see a lot of people who are different from the norm.

I gently brushed Frederick’s mane as I looked at the purple-colored Sland tribe following the scarlet Shaggy tribe I had seen earlier at the Magic Tower.

“So, just stop pounding like that!”

The Qureity people next to them also have gray hair, so it’s quite unique... Wait a minute. Does this one look a bit familiar?

I was lost in thought for a moment, looking at the crown of the head with two bulging horns, the thick gray-blue hair, and the red eyes that seemed to emit light of their own. I’m sure I saw it somewhere...I’m sure I saw it somewhere...

“Huh.”

At that moment, I realized.

The grey-blue Curity was a fighting character that was updated after the Meister and then renewed within a month—the reason was that the skill composition was confusing and too weak—and the purple Sland tribe was an archer character that was released with an unexpected Touhou setting—just before the CSAT. Since it was released, I haven’t been able to play it a few times.
