Chapter 12 – The Hero Rode a White Horse
“We have to start, so get in the carriage.”
I frowned at Genoa, who kept talking nonsense to me, who was like a warrior.
Of course, even if she was not a hero, but her grandfather her, her hero her, she knew that if he was from a poor background, she would be rude, but it was true that she was in a bad mood.
“Word.”
“… What?”
“I don’t want to ride in a carriage, so bring a horse.”
I glanced at the carriage and said so to Genoa.
Anyway, it was a long distance from my village to the capital, which would take a week if I had to rush on horseback.
Being in a carriage with a saintess I don’t even like very much is a chore, so in the first place I enjoyed riding a horse more than a carriage.
“Under? Do you know how to ride a horse?”
At my words her, Genoa laughed and asked me that.
Maybe that was a natural reaction.
Horses were usually more expensive animals than people, and there was little chance that there would be anyone who could ride a horse in a corner like this.
It was probably for that reason that the other paladins also did not hide their mocking faces at me.
“Do you have a bad head? He knew how to ride, so of course he would have asked for a horse.”
“What?”
I fired at Genoa like that.
Genoa tried to argue with me as if her heat her was running out, but I didn’t give her a chance.
He headed straight to where the Paladins were preparing to depart, and began looking around at the horses there.
I felt that Genoa, who had no one to irritate in an instant, glared at me.
He seemed to think that I would be disgraced for dropping a horse anyway.
While feeling Genoa’s gaze her, I was leisurely watching her horses her.
And one of the Paladins was able to find a dazzling white horse that was belatedly dragging it.
‘That must have been the year of Genoa?’
With a strange smile on my face, I approached the big white horse, which was a hand taller than the others.
According to my recollection, it was Genoa’s favorite horse of hers.
Seriously, a guy with a grandiose name of Talion in addition to his horse.
Maybe he resembles his master his, or because he has a damned personality that won’t ride on his back his unless he’s someone I approve of, it’s probably because he’s still refusing the paladin’s touch, so he arrived late.
“I like this guy.”
I said while looking at the white horse that the paladin had been dragging along, and at the same time the paladins burst into laughter.
For they also knew that no one had ever ridden the white horse except Genoa.
“These are the words of the captain. If you really want to ride a horse, choose another horse…”
“Give me the reins of Talion. Let’s see where we can get on.”
A paladin gave me advice and said that, but Genoa cut him off.
She would have had no reason to stop me from embarrassing myself.
No, on the contrary, he was smiling expectantly as if he had a very interesting spectacle in front of him.
“… Ruler. Take it here.”
At Genoa’s words her, the paladin eventually handed over the horse’s reins to me.
As soon as I took over the reins, I abruptly rode on Talion’s back his.
Some of the paladins were surprised by his skillful horseback riding his.
“Hee-hee!”
But that’s for a while.
Perhaps it was unpleasant to have a stranger on his back, Talion raised his front legs wide as if he wanted to shake me off.
The paladin and Genoa looked at me with the same expression they wanted.
In particular, Genoa’s expression her as she looked at me with the corners of her mouth her rolled up made me feel very dirty.
“Where is the beast!”
I tightened my thighs to press my hips against the saddle, and at the same time, I grabbed the horse’s mane, not the reins, with my hands.
As soon as he applied enough force to make his mane fall out, Talion started to go mad even more.
However, since I was already holding the mane, I could easily balance despite his struggles.
But you can’t wrestle with a beast for a long time.
I lightly spilled life on his back.
The horse belonged to the quite clever side, and it was an animal that was as quick as it was.
It didn’t take long for Tallian to become docile, realizing that the being on his back was someone who could end his life at any moment.
“… Me, I can The captain’s words burned someone else.”
One paladin muttered as he looked at me sitting on the tallion in surprise.
Perhaps that comment was offensive, he could see Genoa glaring at the knight.
The knight, who belatedly realized that he had made a mistake, kept his mouth shut, but he was probably going to get a kick out of it.
“What are you doing? Did you say let’s go?”
I drove Tallian skillfully and stopped in front of Genoa as I asked.
How did Genoa feel when she saw another man riding the horse she was so proud of?
I could n’t tell her mood her for sure, but Genoa’s distorted expression her looking down from her horse was pretty good.
“Depart.”
Genoa, her face her flushed red, shouted at her petty men.
Perhaps her wrath her spilled out on her minions her.
Since I had told myself to hand over the words to me, it was a natural result since I couldn’t change my words or get angry with me again.
‘Wait and see. I’m going to destroy everything that you consider important.’
I looked at Genoa as she climbed onto her other horse with a grumpy look on her face, and she thought so.
Her end was longer than expected, and she would have to deal with her own faults on her own.
**
‘This is too blatant.’
I was looking at Genoa with her astonished expression.
It’s only been half a day since I left town.
It must have been quite resentful to have her horse taken away from her, so he resorted to tricks that did not allow him to become Genoa.
It wasn’t the time when the demon king’s army was running wild, and it wasn’t the time when monsters were overflowing in the empire.
No, monsters at this point in the first place avoided humans except for a few classified as large.
Otherwise, remote villages like Calane would have run out of supplies and disappeared long ago.
Moreover, is the group I belong to an ordinary group?
Only the Paladins clad in glittering armor were a group of about 10 or more.
That’s why it didn’t make sense for the goblins, who were not just other monsters, but also cowardly, to attack our party unless they were crazy.
“What are you doing? Genoa! Get rid of them quickly.”
The saintess Marian seemed to be annoyed by the sudden appearance of the goblins, but Genoa did not move a finger despite the saintess’ words to her.
The Paladins, her subordinates her, are also standing in the same way.
I looked at those paladins and slowly counted them.
It was evident that the number of people was a couple of fewer than when they left the village.
“Genoa! Can’t you hear me? You, this is neglect of duty!”
The saintess was urging Genoa to get rid of the goblins as soon as possible.
Naturally, it was obvious that Genoa, who had done this, would not listen to her saintess.
“I heard you’re a warrior, where can I see your skills?”
Genoa lightly ignored Marian’s words and asked me that.
A provocation that I can’t help but laugh at.
However, the saintess seemed to be different from what I thought, and she was screaming at Genoa.
“What nonsense is that? Even if you are a hero, you are someone who has just awakened. Of course, I have no skills yet.”
“Lady. I asked the warrior, not you.”
“What qualifications do you have for asking to see his skills?”
The person in charge was still, but I laughed as I saw the two fighting.
Obviously, I was filthy weak at this point in the first playthrough.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t complain at all even if Genoa bitch viciously harassed me under the pretext of training.
The saintess, who initially tried to dissuade Genoa, was also surprised by her poor skills and tolerated the situation.
That would be the case, too, because her saintess her Marian had staked her all on me, her warrior her.
It seemed that she thought that if the skills of the warrior she had taken so hard to bring were insignificant, the oracle she received would become meaningless.
“Great. If you’re curious, I’ll show you.”
I said that while looking at Genoa and Marian, who didn’t back down even an inch from each other.
At my confident words, Genoa showed an obvious sneer, and the saintess’face was a mixture of her worries and expectations of her.
‘I feel sorry for the goblins, but…’
The situation of those who were living well among themselves and suddenly dragged in was pitiful, but that’s all.
Anyway, if the Demon King’s army started to attack, they were the ones who would be led by demonic nature and attack the humans.
I pulled out the sword I had stolen from Parril and slowly began to approach the goblins.
I saw a goblin who was looking at me with fearful eyes, and finally threw up an unpleasant cry and rushed at me.
“Big! Kruck!”
