Chapter 38 (2/2)

I just realized how huge the horse was after taking a look at it once again……. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I should start riding it…..

I might be able to get on the horse if I have something like a small stepladder but, it might look a little uncool.

“……Marina, Rebecca-san has taught you how to ride the horse to a certain degree previously, am I right? Did you, get on the horse by yourself at that time?” [Jirou]

“I can do it if it’s just riding the horse slowly! Do you want Marina to help you with it?” [Marina]

“Sure. Actually, both Diana and I don’t even have any horse riding experience yet.” [Jirou]

“Then Marina will help you get on the horse.” [Marina]

After saying so happily, she patted the horse’s cheek then mounted the horse by grabbing the reins and setting her foot in the stirrup. Oo….this is a good horse.

“I’m coming then!” With a huge beam across her face, she rode it slowly as it is.

“Marina….. really seems to be having fun.” [Diana]

“That’s true. Priestess-chan did say that possessing a specific vocation related to it will increase the efficiency rate by 5 times. Seeing that the talent will affect the progress to advance faster, it would definitely be more fun.” [Jirou]

“That might be one of the reasons, but………it appears, more like, she was simply having fun there.” [Diana]

I looked at Marina who was riding the horse with a smile on her face. Certainly, she did seem to be having fun just riding the horse. I wonder if she likes horses.

No………, even before she became a slave, she wasn’t living an easy life. So she might not have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of pleasure. That was because, even in this other world, horse riding is considered to be quite a high cla.s.s entertainment. Of course I have not tried it before too.

“This might be a great opportunity to take a commemorative photo.” [Jirou]

I took out a digital camera to snap Marina’s happy horse riding scene as remembrance.

“……? Goshujin-sama, you have used that tool from time to time before but, what is that?” [Diana]

I was planning to snap all the photos in secret through various ways but, it appears that Diana had noticed it. Well, I did take several photos before during the dinner party the other day and a few more every now and then. It’s not like it’s a big deal even if I am found out.

I turned my camera to Diana and pressed the shutter. Then I showed the astonished look that was displayed on the camera’s liquid crystal display (LCD) screen to Diana with a smug look on my face.

“Aa, is this a commemorative photo? I’ve seen it before among the treasures back in the hometown. Though most were actually reproduced onto the paper.” [Diana]

“Wh…at…..” [Jirou]

Based on Diana’s explanation, among the treasures back in the elf’s hometown, there were quite a number of ‘realistic looking pictures that resemble mirror projections’. They were ancient items from long ago so the methods in reproducing them were not handed down. It appeared that……..the sole information they have was just a note left with the items, stating that they were ‘commemorative photos’.

Un. They definitely do sound like commemorative photos, don’t they? I really want to see how they look like.

“This tool is what you call, a ‘camera’. You can take commemorative photos using this item……..Though I would never have expected Diana to know about the photos…..Well, I’ll print them out and bring them here the next time.” [Jirou]

“Camera…..So there is a tool like this. According to father, the methods in producing the commemorative photos are said to have been lost so I believed it completely.” [Diana]

“W-Well yeah. It is still a valuable item that has yet to be sold in market. There is a possibility that it’ll be aimed by the thieves so…..keep this a secret.” [Jirou]

Following that, I took photos of Marina who was happily riding the horse. Diana and I then took turns, practising the ways to mount and dismount the horse under Marina’s guidance. We have meals with everyone shortly after when Rebecca-san finished preparing the lunch.

First of all…….., I should buy a set of pants for Marina and Diana. I could clearly see their panties the moment they mount or dismount the horse and the sight of their panties and bare legs were far too dazzling………. That scene might be rewarding to me but, it was too defenceless. Rather, they shouldn’t be riding a horse in a one piece……..It would be good idea for me to prepare a set of clothing for physical activities too.

I guess I should probably get their measurements and purchase the clothing at an emporium on the other side. It might be a little embarra.s.sing to buy women’s things but it would be a lot better than buying the expensive second-hand clothing from here. All right, let’s do that then.
