Chapter 10:
(Kaito-dono, the horse will appear shortly, so please back off a bit.) Gerardo
I stand and back off, the black smoke is big, and i can't see what's inside those smokes. After a few seconds, the smoke slowly disappeared and a very beautiful pure black horse is standing in my front, it has a beautiful glossy red hair and tail, it has the same size as the normal fast horse that Gerardo-san have. But, the thing that surprised me the most is...
(I-it is an attack pegasus!!!) Gerardo
It has a black horn, and a wings. Attack Pegasus? What a lame name for a very bautiful horse. Anyway, it is my first time hearing that name even in manga and anime. I heared about the pegasus, but not the attack pegasus.
(Etto, attack pegasus? What's that?) Me
(Kaito-dono, you don't know what is an attack pegasus!?) Gerardo
(Just the pegasus, but not the attack pegasus.) Me
(Attack Pegasus is the rarest kind of a horse type monster, it is also the fastest animal in the world, and it's horn can generate strong attack magic, it's fur is very smooth and comfortable, yet it's very hard that even a mithril sword could not cut it, and it can understand a humans words. And since it has a wings, then ofcourse it can fly. I only see this horse on books when i was a kid, i never really thought that it's real. Kaito-dono, i knew it, you are really an amazing person, to be able to summon this legendary horse.) Gerardo
Gerardo's eyes are shining. Well that's to be expected, the horse that he can only see on books is now in front of him.
(Etto, so what should i do? Is that all i need to do to make this horse mine?) Me
(Ah, i'm sorry, i lost my composure. Ahem, Just touch it's head and pour your magic power while giving him a name. That would allow the horse to identify you as his master, and identify it's self when you call him.) Gerardo
I see. I touched it's head and pour my magic power. Hmmm, what name would be nice. It is a black horse, so...
(Kuroma) me
Ne~igh!
The horse cries happily and walks around me. Kuroma, from a japanese word "Kuro", means black, and "Uma", means horse.
(Kuroma, can you understand my words?) Me
Ne~igh!
Kuroma raises his head and cries as if saying "Yes". What an amazing horse. I should take care of it properly.
Gerardo-san's eyes is still shining, but i interrupted him because i want to know how to unsummon my horse.
(You can just order your horse to go back inside.) Gerardo
Go back inside? Where?
(Where?) Me
(In the ring on your hand.) Gerardo
Ring? On my item box? Ohh!!! there's another ring on my left hand. I didn't notice it at all. My ring item box is in my middle finger of my right hand, and the new ring is in the middle finger of my left hand.
It looks similar to my item box. It's black and has a red stripe. For now let's try to unsummon kuroma.
(Kuroma, return to my ring.) Me
Ne~igh.
Kuruma cried sadly, then his body light's up and suddenly disappeared.
(So, gerardo-san, how should i summon him back? Should i also chant "summon" just like what you do earlier?) Me
(You can also do that, but since your horse can understand your words, you can just call him normally, but don't forget to pour magic power in your ring) Me
I see. I poured magic power to my ring, and then called my horse.
(Kuroma!) Me
A light that looks like a horse with wings appeared in my front, and when the light was gone, kuroma was now in front of me. Are? It's strange. Unlike gerardo-san and the others, my horse doesn't come out from a black smoke. I tried asking gerardo-san, but he also doesn't know.
Well, let's just leave it at that. What's important is that i have my own summon horse now. And it is even the rarest kind. Fufufu now let's try riding it.
Etto~, how should i ride it? It doesn't have a leash and a seat.
(Gerardo-san, do you have an extra leash and seat? I promise to pay for it.) Me
(I'm sorry, kaito-dono, but i don't have any right now. But even if i have one, it won't fit on your horse because the wings would block the straps.) Gerardo
Certainly, the wings is on the way, so the strap would be blocked. Then that means i need to ask someone to make it for me. Should i ask a person who's job is to take care of horses? If yes, then i can just ask arnold-sans workers.
(But you don't need to worry, your horse are different from normal horses. Even if it don't have a leash, you can just tell him to turn right or left, or to run or stop.) Gerardo
(Eh?? that would make my butt hurt in just a short time of riding!) Me
(Well, you are right. In that case, you need to go to a blacksmith.) Gerardo
(Blacksmith? Why? It's just a leash and seat right?) Me
(Do you think a normal leash would be fine? Your horse is so fast and strong, a normal leather leash would break easily. You need a skin of strong monsters for that.) Gerordo
Ahh! so troublesome!
(*Sigh* i understand. I'll just go to a blacksmith next time.) Me
For now, i'll just go to the adventurers guild and register.
(Thankyou for helping me, Gerardo-san.) Me
(No, i should be the one to thankyou, you saved us earlier. And now, thanks to you, the legendary horse that i like since i am a kid is now in front of me.) Gerardo
(Then, i'll be going now.) Me
I told kuroma to go back inside the ring, and i go outside the mansion gate. It's getting dark now, i'll just go to the adventurer's guild tomorrow.
I am looking around to search for an inn while walking. But i am in the inner part of the town, so the only inn i can see are the expensive ones.
It's troublesome to just walk, so i called kuroma and ride on his back. I told him to run slowly because we are inside the town, so our speed right now is just like a carriage's speed.
I just noticed it now, but my butt doesn't hurt at all even though there's no proper seat, it is even so soft like a couch. I rubbed kuroma's neck to praise him, and he cried happily.
After a while, we finally arrived at the outer part of the town. The people are looking at kuroma, and keep saying, (a horse has a wing!)(what a beautiful horse), but i just ignored them. Hmm... I can't see any inn.
I stopped in front of a stall selling fruits, and gets off from my horse to ask the old man selling the fruits. He was surprised when he see me stopped in front of his stall.
(Ano, is there any inn near here?) Me
(Eh? Ah, yeah. Turn right on that road. And you can see a building that has a beer mug. That was a bar, but also an inn.) The old man
The old man pointed at the road at the right side at my back, then continued staring at my horse. Kuroma can really attract of attention, i don't care at their stares first, but it's becoming more and more uncomfortable. Maybe i'll just keep him inside the ring everytime i'm in a town or a city.
The oldman's apples looks delicious, so i bought ten of them. I eat one of the apples and store the rest to my item box. I also told kuroma to return to my ring, then the people looks sad and says...
(ahh, the horse is now gone)
(too bad)
(he unsummoned the horse)
You keep staring at us, Ofcourse i will unsummon it.
*Sigh*
I go to the road that the old man pointed. When i turned right, i look around, then i saw a building that has a beer mug above it's door. That must be the bar that the old man was talking about. I approached it then i go inside... Uwa~a, it stinks. It stinks of beer, there are drunk people around, and there are some who just started drinking.
(Welcome to my bar, are you new here? This is my first time seeing you.) Bar owner
I am greeted by a muscular bald man with a beard. He must be the owner.
(Yeah, i'm new here. Do you have an available room?) Me
(You look like you are not used to this kind of place. There are available room above, but it's noisy, is that okay?) Bar owner
(If i said not, would you recomend another inn?) Me
I don't like a place like this, it's noisy, so i want to find a more relaxing place. The bar owner laughed and answered.
(Hahaha, I want to get as much customer as i can, but you are an honest fellow, so i will just recommend that inn on the other side. That's more expensive than this place, but you can surely relax there. By the way, i'm Barsa, the sakes here are delicious, so please come sometimes.) Barsa
(Yeah, i will be in your care when that time comes.) Me
I go outside the bar and head to the opposite building. It's much bigger and cleaner, but there's no sign saying it is an inn or what. I opened the door and a girl the same age as me wearing an apron is standing at the reception table. She has a long red hair, and green eyes. She greeted me when she saw me.
(Welcome!) The girl
(Etto~, This is an inn right?) Me
There's no sign outside on what this building is, so i confirmed it from her.
(Yes, that's right. Please come in.) The girl
When i come in, there are many tables around, and a moderate amount of people are sitting. It doesn't look expensive, but it is a nice place. It looks like a restaurant.
(Did my father reccomend you here?) The girl
(Father?) Me
Who?
(The bar owner from the opposite bar. His name is Barsa.) The girl
(That's your father? Then this inn is also his property? He said he didn't want to recommend me here because he wants more customer on his bar.) Me
(Fufu, He's just teasing you. By the way, i am sarah. I'm the one that manages this inn, do you want to rent a room?) Sarah
That muscle geezer, even though this is my first time here.
*Sigh*
(Yeah, do you have available rooms?) Me
(Yes, it's 2 silver coins per night, that includes the dinner and breakfast and also the bath.) Sarah
Yooosh, thats good! I didn't take a bath since yesterday. I can't smell myself, but i'm sure i'm getting stinky now.
(I'll stay for a month) Me
I paid 6 gold coins that i take out from my item box. Sarah was surprised when she saw that and she looks like she want to ask me something, but she hold back.
(Y-yes, thankyou very much. Here's your the key to your room and your room number. The dinner is every 6pm, and the breakfast is every 7am. We will cook just the right amount everytime, so if you don't eat during that time, we can't keep your food warm.) Sarah
Does that mean there's a clock in this world? I tried to look around, and it's there, there's also 12 hours in it.
(Yeah, i understand) Me
I looked at the clock, and it's already 5:40. I'm hungry now so i'll just wait for the food before taking a bath.
