Luke left on the saan to teach Kurotan horseback riding immediately
“Kurotan, you have to kno to ride a horse Unfortunately, we have toeasily”
“All right”
“Horseback riding is rather challenging for new beginners, just consider it a way to train your reflexes and whatnot Come, I’ll teach you how to mount”
Luke taught Kurotan how to n the horse as well Kurotan nodded
“All right I should be able to ride a horse now”
“Hey, you bastard, don’t look down on horseback riding You’ll regret it when you fall off your horse and become disabled…”
Kurotan looked slightly confused when he approached his horse
“The horse isn’t scared How strange When I was an Orc, I could not approach horses without the havoc”
Kurotan ht
“How do I make the horse run?”
“Dig into its side with the heels of your feet, but that’s too hs and slowly start it off in a trot… Hey!”
Luke gave a startled shout Kurotan had kicked into the horse’s side with his heels without a second thought
Hihihiing
The horse gave a shout and started to run ahead
“This bastard! What if he falls?”
The startled Luke hurried to mount his own horse, but his eyes soon widened in horror and amazement
“Wh-What the fuck?”
Surprisingly, Kurotan was doing just fine above the speeding horse His loose waist and upper body swayed in rhyth the shock froround Apparently not satisfied with the horse’s speed, Kurotan continued to kick the horse’s side
Dudududu
Kurotan was riding a horse like he was an experienced Knight Luke folloith disbelief showing on his face
“Ho is he riding a horse so well? I know for a fact that this is his first time”
His stance was a little aard, but Kurotan was riding the horse at full speed like they were sharing one body Kurotan rode on for around thirtyback at Luke
“How do I stop the horse?”
“Pull the reigns”
“All right”
A little while later, Kurotan’s horse slowed to a trot and finally came to a stop Luke approached hurriedly to ask his question
“What the hell? I thought this was your first ti a horse?”
“I have not ridden a horse before I have ridden wolves countless times”
Luke understood how Kurotan was able to display such skill at horseback riding
“Of course Orcs ride wolves instead of horses, right?”
“Yes, and I was an experienced Wolf Rider Not justout with es were Wolf Riders”
Kurotan took a look at his heaving horse
“A horse is easier to ride than a wolf There is less shaking, and the horse follows orders well”
“Is that so?”
“But their ability to jump and instant acceleration is far behind that of a wolf’s However, wolves get tired easily”
Luke smiled bitterly
“Well, it’s a relief that you are so skilled at horseback riding You should be fairly fa on top of a horse as well”
“Of course I killed countless hu my time as a Wolf Rider”
“Hey, I’s You’re an apprentice knight, as well”
“All right”
Kurotan continued to perfect his horseback riding, with Luke only having to tweak his stance fros that he had been taught, even once
“How do you raise a wolf, anyway?”
“You catch one when it’s young You have to be prepared to be bitten a lot, of course”
Kurotan reminisced back to his days as a Wolf Rider
“Horses are not bad to ride, but they are not as good as wolves Wolves are able to jump over most obstacles”
“But you can’t ride any wolves fro us too unbalanced to ride horses”
“You are right And the food on my plate decreased when I raised a wolf I have to feed the wolf rather than myself”
“Ah, wolves and Orcs both eat meat”
Luke and Kurotan rode side by side, conversing It was interesting for Luke to learn about the previously hidden lives and culture of Orcs
“So, Kurotan”
“What is it?”
Luke’s face darkened
“My fiancée is currently in a dangerous situation”
“Fiancée?”
“The woman who has promised to marry me”
“Ah, I see What about it?”
“We er e arrive at Lea Marquisate We have to be prepared”
Kurotan puffed out his chest, as if telling Luke not to worry
“Life as an Orc was constant danger Danger does not scare me”
“Ah, as expected froift during dinner tonight”
“Gift? Food?”
Luke rolled his eyes in disbelief and muttered
