Volume 1 Chapter 10 Rampaging Carriage
We had come to a town called [Sakutz], which is the border between the beastman country and the human country.
It was a wonderful town where green and the city mixed together.
"The roads are nice, and the town is clean!"
It might be even more beautiful than the place we were before.
Getting off Chippy, we entered the town.
"It's the Divine Beast!"
"Lady Haku has returned!"
Wow...!
The people in the town all came running to us at once.
It seems they have business with me, or rather, with the Divine Beast Haku on my head.
"Lady Haku! Welcome back!"
The beastmen were all smiling.
I could see how popular Haku was.
'Yes, I'm back! I brought this big brother!'
The beastmen started to buzz with excitement.
"...Is that person the one who saved the Divine Beast?"
"...Wow, he's super handsome. My type..."
"...But he's a human, right?"
"...I've never left the town, so I've never seen a human before."
The people in the town looked confused as they stared at me.
"Do they dislike me?"
"No way! That's not true. Everyone is thankful and friendly to you for saving Lady Haku."
The servant Mintha shook her head in a hurry.
"It's just that everyone is seeing a human for the first time, so they don't know how to act."
I see....
We walked through the town.
The beastmen all looked at us, but they kept a little distance.
Just then, while we were walking like that.
"Lady Haku!"
A beastman child came running towards us with great energy.
"Lady Haku! We got some delicious apples! Want to have a bite?"
'I want to eat!'
Haku jumped onto the child's head, and they both ran towards the shop.
It seems he is the son of a vegetable shop.
"Oh, watch out! Move aside!"
"Huh...?"
A carriage was coming at full speed towards the child and Haku.
"Ahh...! The child!"
"Watch out!"
The carriage was about to run over the kids... and then it happened.
"Got it!"
I quickly moved, grabbed the child, and rolled to the side.
The carriage passed by without hitting anyone.
"Are you okay, little boy?"
"Y-yeah! Thank you, big brother! That was amazing!"
I gently patted the child's head.
"Are you okay, Lady Haku! Sir Zeke!"
'Mintha! Yes, I'm fine because big brother helped me!'
Mintha came to us and sighed in relief.
"I-I'm so sorry...!!!"
A beastman who looked like a merchant ran up to us.
"Oh, my carriage caused a big trouble! And to think it almost ran over the Divine Beast!"
By the way, the horse was calm now.
I had used a gentle spell called [Sleep] on it, so it seemed to calm down.
"I will have this horse put down right away! It tried to kill the Divine Beast! It suddenly went wild!"
"No, wait a minute."
I said to the merchant.
"This horse doesn't seem to have meant any harm."
"W-what do you mean...?"
I walked with the merchant to the horse.
I pointed at the horse's hooves.
"Look, its hooves are so long. No wonder it hurts."
"H-hooves can grow long?"
"Yes, they are like nails for humans. You need to trim them. It might even have a hoof disease."
I got closer to the horse.
"Oh, be careful! That horse is a wild one and shouldn't be approached by anyone but me!"
But the horse stayed calm.
When I lifted its leg, it was indeed swollen.
I took out some tools from my pouch and quickly applied medicine to reduce the swelling.
"Okay, this will help the swelling. trim the hoof later."
"Neighhhh!"
The horse licks my cheek.
"Its leg hurts, so it was scared. It didn't mean any harm. It would be sad to kill it."
'Yeah, you're right! Don't kill it!'
Then the merchant came close to me, crying, and held my hand.
"You are... a wonderful person!"
He sniffled and cried.
"This horse was passed down from my family... it's very important to me... I felt bad about killing it... Thank you, you saved it!"
Then the parents of the boy came and bowed their heads in front of me.
"Thank you for saving our son!" "Thank you!"
Now the beastmen around us gathered around me.
"Amazing! You saved the child and the horse! You understand how the horse feels, like a god!"
Uwoooo...!
They cheered.
"You really are a wonderful person, just like the rumors said!"
"Please take care of us, doctor!"
It seems like the people in the town accepted me.
"As expected of Sir Zeke. You are truly a wonderful person...♡"
