FEBRUARY 20, 2017 ~ RHEA
After finishing his breakfast in the inn cafeteria, Souta equips the iron sword on his waist and leaves the inn.
At the entrance, Milfana, Miri, and Gordon sent him off.
「Take care.」
「… … also come again to eat the meal here.」
After waving his hand to those three people, Souta leaves the city of Toura.
Because it would take about a week to go from the city to the mountain of death on foot, Souta decided to buy a carriage.
Because Souta already heard the location from Milfana, it’s easy to navigate there.
The shop was quite large, the main body of the horse-drawn carriage was lined up in the shop, and from the back of the shop, the neighing of the horse could be heard.
「Excuse me, I want to buy a carriage.」
「I’m Souta, best regard.」
「What kind of carriage do you want? In terms of size, there are small, medium, and large. In term of hood type there are a hood type or a box type. There is also the unroofed one, but it’s not suitable for long distance travel, other than that … There are luxurious one that nobility rides.」
「I see.」
「…This one is good, how much is this?」
「For that one……One seat for the coachman and some space for three to four people in addition to it. If you load a lot of luggage, it will be a little small … the price will be 7 gold coins.」
「7 gold coins huhh I’ll take this one. Ahh, I also want a horse, do you also sell them?」
He nods and points to the back of the store with his thumb.
Guided by Stalen, They reach the stable, there were many horses there.
「I understand.」
The horses give various reaction such as one that steps back when it was getting approached, the one that tries to get the food, or some thin horses that didn’t respond even when people getting closer to them.
Because the horses make a crowd around Souta, he reluctantly considered to take the friendly horse he saw first.
But the moment he saw the horse that was in the back, that idea disappears.
It has vigorous eyes and nice fur, its body was larger than other horses, there was faint black color on its limbs, overall it has somewhat dark reddish brown color.
「Guest-san, that is!」
「Do you want to eat?」
ds out the Radi, the horse receives it straight with its mouth and start eating.
「… … that horse is a rampant horse, it was entrusted to me to train.」
Souta asks while his cheek was being licked.
「Let’s buy it. It should be 8 gold coins together with the carriage … There should be 8 gold coins in this, please check it first.」
The average price of the horse here was three gold coins, five gold coins for the first friendly horse he saw. Souta didn’t know about it, but if you look at only the horse’s ability you can say that the price for this horse was exceptional.
「…… It’s exactly 8. Well then, it will take a while to install it on the carriage.」
「Don’t worry about it, so, will you use the carriage immediately?」
「Is that so… Should we meet in the East Gate? If there is something else you need to prepare for, you can finish your preparation while we are working on your carriage.」
「…… Please do … I will join you later so please behave and listen to what Stalen says.」
「Haha, it’s really tame. You should come to East gate after an hour, the preparation should be finished by then.」
After stroking the horse back one last time, the horse was brought back by one of the coachmen.
An hour later
Stalen has already arrived and was doing the final check for the carriage.
「Mmm? Oh, it’s you. you are on time, I thought you would be late because you are an adventurer.」
「Well, there are that kind of merchant too, so it can’t be helped if you thought so … Leaving that aside, It’s ready. Do you know how to operate a carriage?」
「it’s all right, someone taught in the past.」
「that’s good then, I am also doing the repair of the carriage, so come here again if it breaks.」
Looking at Souta getting on the horse-drawn carriage, Stalen wondered for a moment that he didn’t bring any luggage, but a moment later, he convinced himself that Souta has a magic bag.
The horse seems to be happy to serve Souta, its neigh seems to contain a hint of delight.
What kind of name would Souta give to the horse? He grabbed the reins while making a list of name that would be the horse name in his head.
t/n: not sure about the quality as i translate it in hurry, so if you find any mistake or suggestion just comment below,
and i just notice someone still talking about my grammar in novelupdate review, is it still that bad? or is that guy means the earlier chapter? (which i still don’t have any motivation to edit yet) or just want a perfect english? you know, when you talk about my grammar, i got some motivation to make it better, if you comment here at least i know which is good or bad chapter wise, but if you put it there, it make it seems like my entire translation have bad grammar, or in other word, i’m not actually improving, not getting offended or try to say to not do that, just my heart hurt when the thought comes to mind
if you don’t notice it yet, i make a release schedule for this one in preparation for the 2nd project (already got a title in mind but not final yet) which probably will be started when this one reach chapter 30 or so. you can see the schedule on ToC or home page,
you can just come here when it’s time because there might be some delay (1-12 hours) on novelupdate, mainly because i might be asleep at that time
also character introduction was updated, if you are interested you can go there from ToC or the link in chapter 14
p/s: if this is 1st April, i’m thinking about making his name Stalin, heck, i hold back so much so that i don’t make him into Stalin this chapter
