CH 68

[Return to Inbahanes]

Having succeeded in persuading the giant horse to go to Inbahanes, I returned to Noelia and the others who were waiting outside.

“Bruhihiin.”

“So huge. His bones must be pretty big; seems like it is worth proces—”

“Cinzia-sama, I’m not giving you this guy’s bones!”

After I got off the giant horse, I stood in front of the bone bird.

“Frick you stingyy-. Well, fine. I just have to make the most beautiful bone in the world.”

Cinzia immediately gave up on the bones of the giant horse; with a flap, she flew toward Noelia.

“Frick-sama, seems like you have successfully persuaded the giant horse. With this, the Inbahanes Guild Master can pat his chest in relieve.”

“Ahh, this guy properly understood what I said and agreed to be captured by me. As I thought, he’s a smart guy you know!”

I patted the body of the giant horse who began to eat the grass at his feet and introduced him to Noelia and others.

“I had this thought when you two fought together on the highway, but this child sure is so huge that I can’t really think of him as just a war horse. He is even bigger that a Chaos Horse…”

Noelia also seems really interested in the giant horse, as she approached the giant horse and touched his body that was full of scars.

I had been curious since I came back with the giant horse, but Noelia’s attire is different from before I went.

Even though Inbahanes is also in the south, it is different from Youg Hannotes, which humidity was dry and crisp, its climate is hot and humid; I wonder if that is why she changed into a thin robe and a short skirt.

Even on the way here, it was pretty hot, so I was sweating a lot.

If we’re going to act in this territory, perhaps I should wear light clothes like Noelia.

If that’s the case, it would be better to buy a change of clothes in the city of Inbahanes, but due to the mess with Dimol’s case, I’ve decided to seclude myself in the garrison.

When I returned to the city, should I buy clothes that suit the climate of Inbahanes?

If I’m traveling alone, I don’t have to worry about it, but my cloak and clothes are full of sweat, and I’m traveling together with women; it will be bad if I don’t at least put my appearance in order, right?

Seeing Noelia’s clothes, I suddenly remembered that I was full of sweat, so I smelled the smell of my cloak.

When I was adventuring with Alfine, she didn’t really care, but Noelia and Suzana wouldn’t necessarily be the same.

Let’s buy a change of clothes when we get back to the city.

“Frick-sama, is there something wrong?”

“Ah, no. Nothing.”

Perhaps she noticed that I was directing my gaze toward her, I could see Noelia’s cheeks reddened a bit.

I was staring a little too much.

I have to make sure that she doesn’t think that I’m a weirdo.

After I turned my gaze back to the giant horse, I decided to talk about my thoughts about the future course of action.

“Now that we’re done with the urgent request, I’m thinking of going back to the city temporarily. We already have the information about where the Abyss Walker was sighted, so I’d like to investigate as soon as the preparations are done, how about it?”

“I think that is fine, but before that, there is one thing I want to confirm. Will you hand over the giant horse to the Adventurer’s Guild and then help him to escape?”

Suzana who was silent asked me a question about my future plan.

Help him to escape, huh…

If it’s this guy, I feel like he can escape casually even without help.

Besides, I feel like he will come if we stop by and point him the place where I’m staying at on the way back.

Seeing the giant horse eating the grass under his feet, I thought so.

“I think this guy won’t need any help, so I won’t. Moreover, I feel bad for making Noelia and co have a dispute with the Magistrate.”

“Bruhihin.”

The giant horse neighed as if saying, “Help is unnecessary”

“Understood. Well then, as Frick-sama suggested, let’s go back to the city temporarily. Cinzia-sama, please disassemble the Cloud Whale bone golem when we get close to the city.”

“Yes yes, I know~.”

“Well, let’s go back to the city of Inbahanes. Dimoool, we’re going back to the garrison!”

“Kuee!”

After I told Dimol who was on lookout by flying in the sky that we’re going to return, he went ahead toward the direction of the city to scout the way.

“Bruhihin.”

Having judged that the talk was settled, the giant horse held my cloak in his mouth, put me on his back again, and started chasing after Dimol.

“Ah, Frick-sama! Suzana, Cinzia-sama let’s get going.”

“Ah, yes! Immediately.”

“Everyone sure is impatient~. Moving a golem is a lot of work too you know~.”

Noelia and the others who were left in the back were also hurrying, getting on the wagon and started to run after us.
