Chapter 559 - Strange Horse

nSummer.
nI brought watermelons for the horses in the ranch area.
nI would prefer chilled watermelons but the horses in the ranch area seem to prefer room temperature watermelons.
nBecause of that, I directly brought the watermelons I picked from the field to the horses.
nThe horses eat the skin too so there’s no need to cut it.
nThe horses are all now gathered.
nI can only bring two watermelons but the spiderlings helped me so we brought a lot.
nYou don’t have to rush eating.
nAnd spiderlings, thanks for your help.
nKuro and Yuki are rolling around which I found funny.
n
n
nThanks to you too.
n-0-
nI count the horses eating the watermelons.
nThere’s a total of 15.
nTwo of them are unicorns.
nFew cows are born every year but the reason they don’t seem to increase so much is because they are moved to a ranch in Village Five.
nI think it would be nice if they can stay in the ranch area too but it seems like if you keep them in the same place together, their blood won’t be too thick.
nBecause of that, new horses not only leave but also arrive.
nHowever, the stallion and the mare that first came to this village will stay here and won’t be moved to another ranch.
nThe horse management is done by a beastgirl but it seems like it’s quite hard.
n-0-
n…..areh?
nAccording to the report, the total number of horses and unicorns should be 15. This is strange.
nI will count them again.
n16.
nDid I count wrong?
nOr is there another wild unicorn?
nNo, I’m wrong.
nOne of them is clearly different.
nIt looks like a horse but it has wings of a certain size on its back.
nPegasus.
nThe Pegasus doesn’t give a darn about me and just crazily eats watermelon.
nWell, that doesn’t matter but….you wouldn’t destroy fields, would you?
nThe horses already taught you rules? Okay.
nGood.
nHowever, why is this pegasus’ body and wings dirty?
nIs it hurt?
nNo? Then, okay.
nAfter that….let’s report this to the beastgirl in charge of the ranch area.
n-0-
nPegasus.
nA flying horse.
nWhen flying, it flaps its wings but it seems like it doesn’t fly by using its wings.
nIts flying speed is as fast as its running speed.
nIt can fly as high as 20m but it seems like others can fly or can’t fly that high.
nIt can run normally but it is slower than a horse because the wings on its back are getting in its way.
nCan’t you put your wings in and out like an angel?
nIt seems like it is mainly bred in human countries and is rare in the demon king’s kingdom.
nSo, an spectator came.
n「Is that a Pegasus?」
nThe first one was a civil servant girl.
nShe looks very excited. She finally saw something that only an enemy was using.
nIt’s nice to get excited but you are only wearing your swimsuit. Don’t wander around like that.
nGo back to the pool.
n-0-
nNext are the elves.
n「How does it taste?」
nWhat an honest impression. However, stop or the Pegasus will hear you.
nIt will be scared.
nAlso, don’t wander around in your swimsuits.
n-0-
nNext are the oni maids.
n「Can it fly while you’re riding it?」
nI want to know too.
nLoo answered that question.
n「In human countries, they have a regiment called Pegasus cavalry.」
nHeh.
n「However, Pegasus are not so powerful and they can’t fly for a long time so they are only used in show-off ceremonies. It’s rare to see a Pegasus in the demon king’s kingdom so it is probably caught in a human kingdom.」
nSo, where did this Pegasus come from?
nDid it fly over to the forest of death and come this far?
nOf course not.
nIt seems like it came here as a horse from Village Five.
nAccording to Futa, the one who’s managing the teleportation gate to Village Five, the Pegasus passed through there.
n-0-
nWhen I asked about the circumstances in Village Five, what I received was a letter of apology from a ranch manager of Village Five.
nThe summary of the letter is….
n「Pegasus is a rare horse so village chief must be its owner so I sent it.」
nThat’s it?
nOkay.
nHowever, he should have written only that. 90% of the letter is him apologizing.
nIt’s painful to read.
nAm I that scary?
nI won’t get angry with something like that.
n-0-
nI know now how it came here but who’s the real owner?
nIf it’s a wild Pegasus, it would be great because it means it only got accidentally mixed in Village Five. However, it would be troublesome if it belonged to a merchant or a noble.
nLet’s have Youko investigate.
n-0-
nA report arrived after three days.
nIt seems like one of the Pegasus imported into Shashaato City escaped and is now missing.
nFrom the color and description, it is definitely the Pegasus in the village.
nThe Pegasus was imported by the Goroun Company so Michael-san went to Village Five to contact us immediately.
nHe took the other Pegasus.
nHe imported a total of six Pegasus.
nIt seems like they plan on selling them to nobles of the demon king’s kingdom so their destination hasn’t been decided yet. As for why he brought them all, it’s because I bought them all.
n
n
nThe children love the Pegasus.
nIt seems like they love the feeling of flying while riding it.
nHowever, it’s dangerous to let them do that alone so they are accompanied by beastgirls….
nAs Loo said, the Pegasus can easily get tired and can’t fly for a long time. They also can’t easily turn when flying.
nThe neighs of Pegasus get louder when they are tired.
nI also want to ride.
nWhen I try riding one, the horses, the centaurs, and even the angels sulk so I did not do so.
n-0-
nAN: The angels are sulking because they think “it’s our duty to carry village chief to the sky”.
