Chapter 6: (Self Edited) The Return Trip
After the bookstore, we went to cutlery store and clothes store. Then, Rook went out of the capital.
I wondered what we would do on the way home. As I was strangely wondering, Rook went to a place that looked like an outskirt guard post. He immediately brought back a Galloping Bird.
I was seriously worried if we were going to return on foot, but I was surprised that it was easy to secure the transportation.
“Are they renting out the bird?” (Yuri)
I asked that.
“That is the country’s stables. It wouldn’t loan the birds except for the business of the country, but the delivery this time was for the country’s associate.” (Rook)
Now that he mentioned it, it felt like he was talking to someone when we got out of the castle. I was wondering whether he was asking for the permission to leave the castle, but apparently, I was wrong.
“I see. Then, you got it.” (Yuri)
“Yes. It’s because we usually have to wait for couple of days to ride a carriage, or look for merchants, or rent an expensive horse, or even walk to go back home.” (Rook)
