89 68: Return to Inbahanes.txt




 I had succeeded in convincing the giant horse to take me to Inverness, and I was back with Noelia and the others who were waiting outside.


'Bullfiffin'

She's big. He's got some nice bones to work with.

Lady Cinzia, I won't give you his bones!


 I got off the huge horse and stood in front of the bone bird.


"Flick's ketch. Well, that's okay. I just have to make the most beautiful bones in the world.


 Cinzia seemed to have given up on the giant horse's bones immediately, pattering away and heading towards Noelia.


''Master Flick, it seems you have successfully convinced that giant horse. Now the Guildmaster of Invahannes will be able to pat his chest in relief.

'Yeah, this guy really understood what I was saying and agreed to let himself get caught. I knew he was a smart guy.


 I lightly tapped the body of the giant horse that had begun to eat the grass at my feet and introduced it to Noelia and the others.


''I thought about it when we fought together on the street, but I really don't think it's just a war horse, this kid has a big body. It's even bigger than the Chaos Horse (Keos Horse) and ......


 Noelia seemed to be curious about the giant horse as well, and as she approached the giant horse, she touched its scarred body. 

 I had been wondering about Noelia's clothes since we returned with the giant horse, but Noelia's clothes had changed since before we went.


 The Invahannes is a hot and humid climate, unlike the Huguenots, where it's less humid and more dry in the south, so I guess the robe was replaced with a lighter one and the skirt was shortened.

 It was quite hot on the road, and I was also sweating.

 If you're going to act in this land, you might as well wear light clothes like Noelia.


 I would have been better off buying some clothes in the city of Inverness to change into, but I had to refrain from doing so at the garrison due to the mess that was going on with Dimol.

 When I get back to the city, I'll probably buy a bunch of clothes that fit the climate of Inverness, too.


 If I'm traveling alone, I don't mind, but my cloak and clothes are covered in sweat, and with a woman with me, I need to at least be well groomed, or else it's bad.


 Looking at Noelia's clothes, I suddenly remembered that I was covered in sweat, and I cooed and sniffed my cloak.


 I didn't really mind it when I was an adventurer with Alfine, but it wouldn't necessarily be the same for Noelia and Susana either.

 Let's go buy some replacement clothes when we get back to the city, after all.


''Flick-sama, what's wrong?

Oh, no. It's nothing.


 I saw Noelia's cheeks turn a little red as she realized that she was being looked at.


 I've been staring at him a little too closely.

 I have to make sure he doesn't think I'm a weird guy.


 I returned my gaze to the giant horse and decided to talk about my thoughts on the future.


'At any rate, now that my urgent request is taken care of, I'm going to head back to the city. I've already got information on the location where Abyss Walker was spotted, and I'd like to explore as soon as I'm ready, but what do you think?

''That may be all right, but first, let me make one point. Do you intend to hand that giant horse over to the Adventurer's Guild and then guide it to escape?


 Susana, who was silent, asked me a question about my future plans.


 A guide to escaping or .......

 This guy seems to be able to escape normally without us guiding him.

 Besides, I have a feeling that if I stop by and tell him where I am before I leave, he'll come to me.


 That's what I was thinking as I looked at the huge horse eating the grass at my feet.


'Maybe I won't because I don't think this guy needs any guidance. It would be bad for Noelia and the others to get into any more trouble with the Invahannes deputies.

"Bull Fifteen.


 The giant horse also cried out as if to say 'no guidance'.


''Yes, sir. Well then, let's return to the city for once as Flick-sama suggested. Syntzia-sama, please dismantle the Cloud Whale's Bone Golem as well when we are near the city.''

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

'Well, let's go back to the city of Invahannes for once. Dimolu, let's go back to the garrison!

Queue!


 I told Dimol, who had been flying above and alerted, that I was returning, and he went out to scout ahead of me towards where the city was.


'Bullfiffin'


 Sensing that the conversation was settled, the giant horse sucked my cloak into his mouth and began to follow Dimol on his back again.


''Ah, Master Flick! Susana, Lady Cinzia, we're leaving.

'Oh, yes! I'll be out in a minute.

Everyone's so impatient. It takes a lot of work to move the golem!


 The remaining Noelia and the others behind us were in a hurry to get into the wagon and begin to follow us as we started to run.
