228 Al and horse (1/2)

”I can finally move my body!”

Elinora unnie, who jumped out of the carriage, raised his voice.

Riding the carriage early in the morning, about three or four hours. We had a break on the plains in time for a horse break.

The plains with good views have soft grass and small rivers. There are no obstacles such as forests around, and you can see at a glance even if monsters and ferocious animals approach. The water is flowing and it's a great place to take a break.

I got off the carriage slowly and stretched up my arms.

Then, the muscles on my back grew, and my joints sounded pleasantly.

Is it because I was sitting in the carriage all the time? The stiff muscles seem to be loosened.

Exhale at the same time as you lower your hand, and inhale deeply.

Feeling like fresh air enters the lungs and circulates through the body. The air is good and it's great.

It seems like you can spend time here slowly.

”Oh, that's a good place”

”Oh, really, Mr. Rowe. He seems to have parked him in a good place.”

Mr. Nord and Elna, who have been active as adventurers, praise her. After all, Rowe is accustomed to traveling, so I think that such a place selection and way selection are good.

Looking at Mr. Rowe, he was walking with a horse toward a small river.

Probably hydration or snacks.

I'm worried somehow, I'll follow you.

”Oh, Alfleet. You shouldn't be too close behind the horse. I'm going to be disciplined, but I could get kicked.”

”OK, got it”

The horse's leg strength is amazing. Even large adults can be kicked and seriously injured or even killed. I don't always communicate with horses. You have to be careful.

Be careful with your position and accompany me.

When Mr. Peru pulled the string and guided him, there was a small, narrow river that would hide in the grass.

The river is probably less than three meters wide. The depth is as calm as my ankle.

Whether the horse was thirsty, and drank his head into the river, drinking water.

Then he sniffed and squirted something in a mist that was not clear whether it was water or a runny nose.

Dangerous. If it wasn't upwind, it would depend on me.

But the horse is big. It's like a seven-year-old looking up to me.

I know it's not as ferocious as a monster, and it's an animal that existed in the past, but it's scary to be a creature much larger than you.

I'm confident I'll run away when the horse chases.

But when I look at my face, there is a big double, and my eyes are somewhere calm.

It is very tempting to stroke with the soft fur in front of you.

”Is it okay to stroke?”

”Yes, try approaching while calling out diagonally”

Believing in Mr. Low's words, I moved to a position diagonally in front of the horse.

”I'll stroke you, I'll stroke you.”

As he gradually approached, saying, he came closer to see if the horse had shown interest in it.

A horse that sniffs the palms of my palms while breathing.

Are they also distinguishing by smell? I don't know because I'm not familiar with the ecology of horses, but this horse doesn't seem to be very vigilant.

He glanced at him to confirm, and he nodded firmly with a gentle smile.

After confirming that, I lightly stroke the horse's forehead.

”warm”

The first thing I felt was the warm body temperature of the horse. It's natural because it's a living animal, but it was much warmer than I expected.

And then it was a soft horse coat.

When you run your finger quickly, your finger sinks into the soft hair. It's almost like combing a soft woman's hair by hand. I want to stroke it all the time.

Since the horse doesn't seem particularly angry, I just stroke the neck and bangs.

It is a solid and thick neck. You can easily understand the unevenness of the muscle when you touch it.

The bangs have a little habit and are stiff.

”... maybe something like my hair”

”Hahaha, there are parts where the bounce of the hair is a bit similar.”

When he mutters casually, Mr. Low laughs cheerfully.

Sure, it's similar to the bangs and the outer part. But I'm glad it's like a horse.

When I stared at the horse with a complicated feeling, the horse suddenly approached my face.

I had a bad feeling for a moment and went down a step, but it was already late.

“Yeah yeah!

Probably, if you go on a rampage like this, your hair will break out and come off.
