Luke finished up the paperwork for official retirened by the commander of Fort Potellan, Luke turned in the last paper that would officially turn hiular citizen
All the while, Kurotan had been following hi
“That’s a lot of weight off my shoulder, finally”
Luke left the office and headed towards the market Esteban Earldom, his hometoould take two months of travel to reach Ample preparation was needed for the travel
Luke glanced at Kurotan
‘This bastard has cos’
His original plan had been to hireto Esteban Earldom to return home
Taking Kurotan, an Orc in the guise of a human, to join a caravan would be too risky Even the mercenaries would be suspicious
‘I have a lot to teach Kurotan, so we should travel by ourselves’
Luke wandered around thethe travel supplies needed
“There’s a lot of baggage, so you’ll be holding some”
Kurotan seemed to have decided to follow the Orc law and obey He wordlessly took up the two bags handed over to hi all the dried foods and clothes needed for travel, Luke went over to an armory
“If I’d known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have donated my armor to the fort…”
Luke grudgingly complained, but what could he do over spilled water?
Luke purchased two sets of sturdy chain armor One was for Kurotan and the other one was for himself
The armors were brand new, and their shi+ne set a smile on Kurotan’s face
Chain arst the Orcs
“Why? Does a new armor make you that happy?”
“Yes I’ve never worn an armor that didn’t have holes or rust”
Kurotan’s large smile made Luke smile bitterly
‘Such a siuy’
Luke also purchased a horse It ell tans
“You don’t kno to ride a horse, do you?”
Kurotan shook his head
“I’ve eaten a lot of them, but never ridden one”
“I suppose no horse would be dull enough to let an Orc mount it”
Luke hung the bags of supplies on the saddle
Kurotan handed Luke the bags he had been carrying and proceeded to do so out of place Kurotan took off the battleaxe he had been carrying around on his back, and began swinging wildly They were in thewith people
Hal’s untrained arht of the battle axe
Booooong
The axe left Kurotan’s hand and hurtled through the air, startling and scaring the people around him
“Ehuuk!”
“What the hell are you doing?”
Luke frowned as he held his hand to his face
“Kurotan, what are you doing right now?”
Kurotan had, in turn, been surprised by the people’s reaction, and was standing there stupidly when he answered
“I a to train”
“In a place with so many people?”
“I can’t?”
“Of course not Let’s get out of the market first”
Luke, with hurried steps, left the market with Kurotan in tow
“It’s not just a thing or two I have to teach you”
“…”
“Let’s start by organizing our points Kurotan, you wish to recover the strength you had in the past right?”
“Of course I will train this weakling’s body and beco without a doubt Just like it was before”
Luke stood there in near amazement
“I guess you’re an Orc after all, being so simple…”
“What are you saying?”
“All right Kurotan, I’ methods are made for Orcs?”
“Yes”
“And how do Orcs train their body?”
Kurotan gripped his hands into tight fists
“Si your weapons until you can’t If you do that, row on your arht everyone”
“You’re going to become bedridden before then”
“…”
