As they approached the forest, they could feel the presence of a demon from within.


　Dimol seemed to be squealing in response to this presence.

　This is where he must be hiding.


　As I was about to enter the forest, a huge, black, scarred body emerged from deep within the forest, slithering.


'Bullfiffin'


　The giant horse must have sensed my arrival and snorted as if to say, 'What do you want?


'I didn't expect you to greet me from there. How did you know I was coming?

"Bull Fifteen.


　The giant horse was pointing at Dimol's figure from a break in the forest with the tip of his chin.


'You knew I was coming when you saw Dimol. I knew you were a smart guy.


　The giant horse in front of me that hadn't been demonized and was considered to be an ordinary war horse, but its intelligence showed that it was more than humanly possible.


　This smartness must have been demonstrated many times, and it must have escaped capture by the adventurers.

　He doesn't speak the language, but he can communicate normally.


　I was once again impressed with the giant horse in front of me.

　I'm sure you'll be able to see that the giant horse is looking at me like that, and he's once again crying, 'What do you have to do?


I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was an errand you came here to do. It's no use telling a lie, so I'll cut to the chase from the beginning, but I actually came here with the intention of capturing you. But first, I want you to listen to me.


　Even though the giant horse heard my words, it didn't show any signs of running away and began to sit in front of me, as if to say, 'Let's listen to what you have to say.

　If it were a wild animal, it would not sit down in front of the hunter and would have run away at the first sign of a human being, but the giant horse in front of me sat down without running away boldly.


'Thank you for listening to me. It can't be a bad story for you and your pack, can it?


　'Let me hear the rest of the story,' the giant horse sat down and shook his head up and down, as if to say.


''First of all, it seems that the order to capture you was originally issued when you escaped from a branch of the Kingsguard Knights of Invahannes. After you escaped, the request to capture you went to the deputy of the lord through the Konoe Guard, and the deputy got into trouble and sent word to the Adventurer's Guild, and the adventurers are coming to capture you and your flock one after another. Can you understand this?


　The giant horse that was listening to my explanation made a thoughtful gesture for a moment, but eventually nodded as if he understood.


'As long as you are on the run, the herdsmen who are following you around in adoration will always be targeted by the adventurers. That's not your intention either, is it?

Brule.

'So there. I'd like to propose that you be captured and handed over to the Konoe Guards on the basis that you've accomplished the request, and then you'll escape. Once you've accomplished your capture request, the Adventurer's Guild has assured me that they won't accept your capture request ever again. Once you've escaped, only the Kingsguard would be the only ones who would come after you. That way, you won't be caught in this wide open grassland, and your flock won't get hurt, what do you think?


　The giant horse that had been listening to me had his face down to the ground as he pondered the proposal.

　The branch of the Kingsguard of Invahannes seemed to have a small size of personnel, and if the Adventurer's Guild didn't receive a request to capture them, it was the same as getting substantial freedom.


　The giant horse that had been thinking about my proposal for a while stood up and nuzzled the forest with a loud voice that echoed through the forest.

　Caesars and horn horses in the forest gathered around that voice.


　The giant horse bellowed something to the assembled herd, and then let the next largest horse, the Chaos Horse, bite his mane.


　Does that mean that he gave up the leadership of the herd to that chaos horse (Keos Horse)?

　That guy might decide that he's causing trouble for the herd and he's trying to leave the herd.


''Bullfifeen!


　Once again, when the giant horse cried out loudly, the herd of horses galloped away from the forest at once, with the newly led chaos horse (Keos Horse) in the lead.


''You ....... Are you sure that was a good idea?

Brule.


　''It's obvious,'' the giant horse whined as if to say, ''It's natural.


　I don't know how the giant horse in front of me ended up leading a group of horses that were turning into demons, but I was impressed with his decision to give up his position of leadership and let the herd escape after realizing that his presence was causing trouble, which was amazing.


'I see. If it's all right with you, but if you run away from the Kingsguard's post and have nowhere to go, you can come to me. We're renting a room in the Royal Army's garrison outside the city of Inverness. And we plan to leave the area when we're done with our business, and then we'll be traveling around the kingdom. The only way I'll come is if you're not busy and have nothing to do.


　The existence of the giant horse was fascinating to me, and I couldn't help but ask him if he would like to join me.

　When the giant horse heard those words, it tilted its head slightly and gave a small nod, as if to say 'I'll think about it.


'Yeah, just if you're bored and don't have anything to do. I don't want to force you to do anything either. Dimol seems to like you a lot more than you think, and he's pretty smart too, so I think he'd make a good partner. Noelia and Susana are both very nice people. Oh, I mean, Syntzia-sama is the only one who's weird, but I don't think he'll do anything bad, so you'll be fine. As long as he doesn't start asking for your bones--


　I couldn't stop talking to him about various things, and when the giant horse sucked on the collar of my cloak, he put it on his own back.


'Bullfiffin'


　The giant horse that had me on his back whined as if to say 'let's go' and started walking towards the exit of the forest.
