Chapter 63: Exploration in the Mountains
"Master, if you're planning to head to the mountains, it's very easy and won't take much time."
"How would we do it?"
"You'll ride on my back."
"Huh, ride on your back?"
Mofurun gave an unexpected answer to my thoughts.
If I were to ride on her back, it must mean not in her current state, but in her beast form.
"Yes, I can freely transform into a beast as well. In my beast form, I can get to the mountain faster than walking."
"I see, so we'll be moving with me riding on Mofurun the beast. That's quite interesting. Mofurun, I'm counting on you."
I requested to ride on Mofurun's back. I wasn't sure if it wouldn't be too heavy even with me on it.
But since she's transforming into a large body, I might be fine.
"Right, if Mofurun is in her Fenrir beast form, she's swift on her feet."
"Yes, then I shall transform now!!"
Mofurun transformed.
It's the same beast as before.
Seeing it up close, it's quite impressive.
The fangs and all are quite something.
"I envy that. If only I could become a magical dragon, I could fly."
"Have you always been in this form?"
"I've been in this form. As long as Lord Franz is with me."
"Well, I'm scared of you turning back into a magical dragon, so it's fine for now, just like this, Sui."
"Yes."
"Master, please hop on."
"Alright, then I'll get on."
She lowered her head and body to the ground, making it easier for me to mount.
When I got on, her fur was fluffy, and my rear didn't hurt; it was quite soft.
This is my first time riding on the back of a beast or monster.
In Japan, there's a tactic of riding horses, and they had famous cavalry units.
I guess I'm the only one riding on a Fenrir tribe member.
"How is it?"
"Riding on a Fenrir tribe member for the first time might be fun."
"In that case, let's set off to the mountain!"
When she rose up from her lowered position, it was quite high.
Since it's just me riding, Sui will stay behind this time.
"I'll be going into the mountains, so Sui, please stay at the house or the fields. Is that okay?"
"I will. I'm monitoring if anyone comes near the house or fields. Go on and have a safe journey."
With Sui keeping an eye out, I can be at ease. Those who come will have bad luck.
"Grrrr! Departure!!"
Mofurun put me on her back and started running.
She's fast, incredibly fast!!
