213 6.7 *Ding!* Welcome To Fasuto Japan Airways. Hahahahaha... (1/2)

When Miroku or was known as Hoshi-sama arrived with Hachi to gather and meet me in the garden to meet me and Hiko-sama, they were rather surprised at being summoned from the monastery where they were having a peaceful day by themselves.

”What's the matter, Chosen One? It seems that there's such urgency in some emergency matter when you summoned us immediately. May we be of your assistance?”

”Hoshi-sama, there's no emergency when you were being called here. I need to address something to you before I suddenly forget about this matter totally. Come, have a sit first, Hachi you do the same as well.”

I reassured Hoshi-sama the there is nothing wrong anywhere that needs to be addressed except for the flash of an ingenious idea this had struck me a few moments ago.

”Join us for dinner, shall we? We dine at the same time discuss the stroke of an idea that I had and we discuss the pros and cons of it. But first, could you and Hachi bring out your coin pouches please...”

They both brought out their coin pouches and both had a few silvers and coppers while not even one contains a gold coin. I slapped my foreheads and frown at their pathetic conditions and was wondering how to uplift their spirits as well as their savings in their own coin pouches.

I told them to hang on and I grabbed a handful of coins from the charity basket and poured the coins that I had managed to grab from my little hand. I counted a few pieces of gold coins, several silvers and coppers and I divided each of them equally.

”Here's a little something for the both of you to tide over the next few days in case you both would be engaged in future expeditions,” I spoke as I handed them their coin pouches back, and both of them looked at me in surprise. Maybe they thought that they are done for this time and I was buying them through the coins I offered.

”OK, listen very carefully to what I would be asking both of you...” I began as I took my sketchpad and prepared to note down their answers to my queries.

”Hachi, how long can your floating gourd stay in the air?”

”I think for some good hours, provided its clear skies and there's no thunderstorm or any flying Youkai chasing after us. Yellow is our standard colour and it is bright and easily seen from the ground below.”

”What's the highest have you ever climbed before?”

”It depends on the weather, Himura-San. I could climb from a few feet from the air and till it reaches the clouds above .”

”Alright, my next question is, how heavy a load could you carry at the most? The last time you managed to carry us covering a walking distance of 3 hours easily with 8 of is on you.”

”8 people on your back would roughly equivalent to 300 kilograms or more, right?”

”Well, Himura-San, I could almost carry 2 horses over a period of 2 hours of non-stop flight before I take a break of 15 minutes before continuing.”

I remembered a Kiso horse would weigh about 400 kilograms and Hachi was able to lift 800 kilograms over a flight distance of 2 hours. Considering Hachi would fly nonstop to Nagoya from here, it would take slightly over 5 hours of flight with an additional stop if 15 minutes in between.
