Chapter 33 (2/2)

I tell Ballad that I will at least try to keep the promises I make He looks at me with a discontent expression that contains a hint of frustration

”I do understand that you have never broken a promise that you have once made! But this matter is not about that! This is truly another hinis name and my only master! It is only natural for me to worry like this”(Ballad)

”Is that so?”(Doyle)

I am surprised at Ballad's response, as he si full of htly angry voice

”It is so!”(Ballad)

I ahtly taken back by Ballad this time because I have not seen hiave the ok to continue practice, I try to challenge the Oxer again

”Then I will challenge it once nal when I am in position, okay Ballad?”(Doyle)

”Understood”(Ballad)

I tell Ballad that I anal when I am back in position He connects Amaro's reins to the fence near the well and replies to htly discontent tone

I thought this the day I made the bouquet for Claire, but Ballad has this aura around hi that you should not disobey him, but I think it is also because he is usually very obedient and follows order to the letter

I still feel that aura so I start to quicken my pace as I return to the start point I wonder if there is sory about?

I wonder if Leo said so to him?

While thinking these things, I return to the start position and readjust myself

”Yes!”(Blanc)

”Are you ready?”(Doyle)

”Yes!”(Blanc)

Blanc gives a loud cry shortly after saying that He seehted with this I stroke hinal that I anal The burden onI strongly grip the reins and look forward at the first obstacle Ballad swings the flag to signal to me, and I ride out with Blanc immediately

As I make my way to the last Oxer, I close my eyes I can ride Blanc even with my eyes closed I keep balance with the vibrations I feel from my feet and body Blanc is also a very skilled horse Thus, he did not make any weird movement, proceeds towards the last obstacles, and ju over that obstacle is quite easyI have learned so truly important from Jin

I feel I have obtained a new skill and pat Blanc who has performed remarkably

”Thank you Blanc”(Doyle)

”Please do not worry Master, I will handle everything Blanc will forever support you as far you require, no matter the distance!”(Blanc)

Blanc proudly states that he will go on no matter the distance and carry ratitude
