Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Farnie town
Chapter 21:
「Kaito-sama! It's very fast!」 Athena
This is very fast for her? I don't think it is that fast though.
「Sorry! Kuroma, slow down a bit!」 Me
Ne~igh!
Kuroma slows down, i think we are now running at 100 kph.
「Athena, how about this?」 Me
「It is still fast, but i can take it without any problem.」 Athena
「I see, then let's continue it like this.」 Me
After an hour of running, we saw the place where i first meet the duke and athena. When i look at athena, she is smiling.
「Athena, why are you smiling? Isn't this an unpleasant place for you?」 Me
「Ofcourse, it is an unpleasant place, this is where we thought our life would end after all. But...」 Athena
「But?」 Me
「This is also the best place that i have been. That's because this is the place where i meet you.」 Athena
Eh? Ehhh??? What's that?
「Wha! What are you saying all of a sudden? Meet me, you say.」 Me
My face becomes red. She's a girl, how could she say it that bluntly? Even the dense me can also understand that you know?
「Fufufu, your reaction is so cute. I guess someone would also tease you a lot before.」 Athena
「....」 Me
I just didn't answered her. I remembered my sister, she always tease me a lot before. I miss her.
「Kaito-sama, i'm sorry, it looks like a said something i should have not.」 Athena
「N-no, it's fine. I don't really mind it.」 Me
The smile on her face earlier has gone. I don't want to make her feel bad. But i can't help myself. I remembered my sister all of a sudden after all.
While we are running, we encountered some monsters, but they are not that strong so i just plan to use my water bullet. But kuroma cries, and his horn is turning red and he shoots water bullet.
Areh? It's simillar to mine.
「Kuroma, can you copy my magic attacks?」
Ne~igh!
He cries happily like saying yes. I see, gerardo-san told me that this horse can release strong magic power, but i didn't think that he can even use my magic.
There are small and weak monsters on the road, so we just past them while kuroma is shooting them.
「Kuroma-chan, you are so amazing! I hope i also have a horse like you, but my magic can only summon a chasing horse.」
Chasing horse?
「Athena, what do you mean by chasing horse?」 Me
「Chasing horse are horse that was a half faster than normal horse.」 Athena
「Then that means you can also use magic?」 Me
「Yes! People with colored hair can use strong magic. My hair is blue so my strongest element is water.」 Athena
Areh? This is the first time i hear of that. Wait, is that why stacia can use strong wind magic? Her hair is green, and nick can also use strong earth magic, and his hair is brown. But wait...
「How about the brown haired people? I can see a lot of them. Don't tell me they can all use strong magic?」 Me
「No, many people have a brown hair. So it's hard to identify using the eyesight if their earth magic is strong or not. So they need to test their magic aptitude if they can use that element or not.」 Athena
I see. But wait...
「Why can you only use water magic?」 Me
God told me that everyone can use magic and make many different kinds of them like water, fire, and etc. They can even use another type like electric if they just have the knowledge.
「What are you saying? Kaito-sama, everyone can only use one or two types of magic you know? I'm even wondering why you can use so many types of magic, and you didn't even need to say a chant. And what's more surprising is that your hair is black.」 Athena
Ehhh? So i am the weird ones here. But don't tell me that god is lying to me. No, that's impossible, god won't lie. Then that means...
「What do you mean by i don't need a chant?」 Me
「Everyone needs to speak a chant to use magic. Like how i use water ball, or water bomb, or water rain. I need to chant those words to shoot.」 Athena
So it is simillar to the games, i need to chant to use magic. But that's so inconvenient. That's why i choose to be a magic swordsman instead of magician, because it's so annoying to chant different kinds of words. In games i just need to pour magic power on my sword, but the mages need to pour magic then chant something.
Ah right, so that's why mika-san and stacia-san asked me why i didn't speak the chant when i enetered battle mode and mind accel.
I want to try something later.
After a few hours of running, it's already noon, and we arrived on the town of Farnie. The guard was surprised by my horse, but when she saw athena take out a silver card with gold writings, he stiffen up and then checked athena's guild card.
I also take out my guild card and showed it to the guard.
「Athena-sama, thankyou for your cooperation. Please enjoy the town.」 Guard.
After he said that, we entered the gate. The people are staring at kuroma, and some of them are staring at athena. The town is full of people and stalls. But what caught my attention are the kids selling, i stared at them and looked properly, they are still a kids who looks like five to seven years old. Could that be...
「They are cumans」 athena
Athena answered the question i want to ask like she read my mind. I see, so that was cumans. They are really like children, there's no difference at all.
「They are really small, but i wonder what would happen if they give birth.」
「Their babies are also small, they are three times smaller than normal babies. They are like a puppy.」
I see. I can't imagine how they would give birth if ever their babies are just like normal babies.
「Kaito-sama, are we going to wait here until night and rest in an inn here? Normally, if we are from the town of ralles, we would arrive here at night. But your horse is very fast, so...」 Athena
「No, i want to arrrive to the capital as soon as possible. But don't worry, i have already prepared something where we can sleep.」 Me
「Is that so?」 Athena
「Yeah. And i can't also let you sleep in an inn where you will stay alone in another room.」 Me
「That was not a problem, but i can just sleep in a room together with you, you know?」 Athena
Eh? Ehh?? Ehhhh????
「Wha! What are you saying again? That's not good. I am a boy, and you are a girl, and you are cute and all, so that's dangerous.」 Me
「I- i am c-cute?」 Athena
「Yeah, ofcourse!. Did no one told you that? That's why you should not trust someone so easily.」 Me
「...」 Athena
She did not answered, and she was even blushing. Why? Did i said something weird? I just gave ger a lesson.
「Did i said something weird?」 Me
「N-no, i-i am just h-happy.」 Athena
Huh? Why? Did no one really told her before that she is cute? She's smiling to ears, so i'll just ignore her. I don't want tou ruin her mood after all. You can destroy a country, but you cannot destroy a girl's mood. That's what my sister told me.
While we are riding on kuroma through the streets, athena keeps on looking at the stalls.
「Athena, do you want to explore the town?」 Me
「Can i really do that?」 Athena
「Yeah.」 Me
I get off from kuroma's back and i told him to crouch so that athena can get off safely. After athena got off, i told kuroma to take his baby form. The people was stilk looking at kuroma, but now their reactions are different, they are mesmerized by kuroma's cuteness.
While we are walking through the streets, we bought different kinds of foods from the stalls. Then after a while, we sat on the chair where there is a big tree. It looks like a small plaza, but wait... The people that are here are just...
「Kaito-sama, there's so many couple.」 Athena
「Yeah, you are right. Let's get away from here before they will think that we are...」 Me
「Nooo!! I'm tired so let's sit here and eat our food.」 Athena
Eh? Why? Are you not worried that they might think we are lovers?
「Etto~, athena-san, are you not embarrassed?」 Me
「Kaito-sama, are you saying that you are embarrassed being together with me?」 Athena
She looked at me with a sad eyes. What are you saying?
「Ofcourse not.」 Me
「Then there's no problem if we sit here for a little longer. I don't also mind if they think we are lovers.」 Athena
Eh? Ehhhh???
「Now, kaito-sama, sit here.」 Athena
She's smilling to her ears, somehow, it feels like...
「O-okay, i-i got it.」 Me
While we are resting and eating our foods that sarah gave us, we also talked about different kind of things. I also learned a lot from her like how she wants to become and adventurer after she graduated.
I also learned that the school she is attending is a school for knights and magicians. And there's also something i learned. An information about mika-san.
She said that mika-san is the daughter of the royal knight commander.
「So thay's why she is so strong despite her age.」 Me
「No, ofcourse no. Even if she is the daughter of the commander, there's no way she can reach that level so easily.」 Athena
Eh?
「Then why is she so strong?」 Me
「That's because she is the disciple of the sword king.」 Athena
disciple of the Sword king? Isn't that a very amazing thing? Even in manga and anime, a Sword king won't easily allow someone to become their disciple. They only choose one to become their successor, so they choose their disciples very wisely.
「How did she become the disciple of the sword king? Even if she is the daughter of the commander, it is still not easy to be chosen right?」 Me
「Yes. Because the sword king is the strongest swordsman, there are a lot of people who want to kill him. Ofcourse he can beat them all easily. And there is someone who he beat to a pulp because of it's cheeky attitude. Then one day, that person asked him again for a duel, so the sword king accepted it. But while they are doing a duel, someone had suddenly arrived saying tjat the sword king's family was in danger, and the one who held them as hostage is the person who he beat to a pulp. He brings the swords king away from his family so that he can kill the family.」
And what happened to the family?
「Mika-san protected them, when the sword king had arrived, his family is safe, but mika-san was so beat upped, but she still protected the family. So after the incident, the swords king chose her as his disciple. That was five years ago when mika-san was still ten year old kid.」 Athena
I see. So that's why she is so strong despite her age. She didn't stop protecting the sword king's family even if she was already beat upped. It's not just her hair that was gold, but also her heart.
Anyway, we have already taken an enough rest.
「I want to arrive sooner at the capital, so let's get going now.」 Me
「Yeah.」 Athena
