A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Episode 109: Horseback riding after yesterday. Surprisingly well... what is it?

Breakfast and tea time in the morning guest room were over, and Takeo and Alice were coming to the stables.

"Well, that's what happened yesterday, isn't it?

"Yes, Master Takeo, let's practice turning today if we do yesterday's iterations.

"Okay.

and bring one head saddled by a servant from the stables.

Yesterday's horse. Takeo approached to ride because of yesterday's repetition.

"Kapu" bites me on the shoulder.

"Uh-huh!?

Takeo is surprised and flies back.

What now!!????

Takeo doesn't move with his body stiff.

"Dear Takeo, you've been missed by that horse.

Alice says with a couscous laugh.

"I was surprised?

"Yes, Master Takeo was flying very fast ~

Is that so?

"I had no idea.

Horses bite, too, don't they?

"Because you're a creature. There will also be pranks.

"Is that what it is...

So that's yesterday's review.

and start horseback riding.

First, repeat Ride - Forward - Stop - Down 5 times.

"That's good.

So shall we turn left first?

Weigh gently to the left as you walk and gently pull the left of the reins.

Takeo rides as he was told - forward - turn left - forward - stop - do descent.

"Shall we turn right next?

The opposite is true just now.

Takeo rides as he was told - forward - turn right - forward - stop - do descent.

"For now... it's done... right?

Takeo asks Alice terribly.

"Yeah, you did it.

... Well, we've got the foundation, so let's go back and forth to the castle gate.

"Suddenly... right?

"Yeah. I can make you walk, so I'm fine.

In front of the stables forever, it won't improve, will it?

Practice is the best.

"Okay.

"Then prepare a horse for me, too.

Alice tells the servant that, and the servant brings another head.

Alice rides refreshed.

"Okay... hmm? Master Takeo, what's wrong? Jeez, look.

"I said I'd ride refreshingly... and fall in love.

"Is this the case?

Alice laughs bitterly.

"Again, I thought I was a fruit payer.

"Yes, Master Takeo is a happy man.

You made me your fiancé, didn't you?

So shall we go to the castle gate?

If anything happens, don't panic and make a stop, you'll be fine.

"Okay.

and Takeo also rides.

------------------------

Takeo and Alice had almost come to a place called the Castle Gate while walking their horses in Tokotoko.

On the way, Takeo forgot to kick his horse with his leg and said he was going to stop, but nothing in particular went well.

"... you had nothing..."

Alice squeaks so.

"... did you expect anything to say that's the way you put it?

"No... I'm not expecting...

Is there a sudden run out or a jump? and. "

To Takeo's inquiry, Alice returns with a bitter smile.

"... I think they're both dangerous?

"Yeah, I'm glad I didn't.

So, now that you're here, do you want to run the exercise area?

"... Now there's a word out there that hasn't been taught?

"Because the way you do it is a basic extension.

First... "

and Alice begin to explain without answering Takeo's anxiety.

Takeo makes a few mistakes, but now we have to listen carefully to the explanation and let him run.

Don't give it any extra thought, but imagine letting it run desperately now.

------------------------

"... you have nothing..."

Alice squeaks like that again.

Takeo had repeated the run - stop, run - bend - stop more than a dozen times at the end of the exercise field.

... Well, I know how you feel... but you want me to make a mistake early, don't you? And Takeo thinks.

I know what Alice thinks, but now that I'm concerned, it's not the other way around.

"Miss Alice, shall we take a break?

"Yes, I understand.

and Takeo and Alice descend from the horse and sit at the root of the tree with a reins on the nearby tree.

Takeo serves a tea set out of his backpack and makes tea for Alice.

"Yes, Miss Alice.

and pass the tea you made to Alice in a mug.

"Thank you.

Alice makes it a receiver.

"Phew... it heals.

"It feels good to drink outside, too.

Takeo also speaks tea and shares his thoughts.

And, Alice stood up unexpectedly and sat back on top of Takeo sitting on his seat.

"Eh heh."

I left my body with Takeo and Alice is pleased.

Takeo lays the mug aside and gently hugs Alice.

"... Miss Alice, are you worried I won't fail?

"... Master Takeo has done too much without doing anything.

I'd like to make a small mistake before it matters one day.

"Yeah, I know what Miss Alice thinks, too... but I'm just trying so hard right now.

Well, I'm a cautious person, so I'm only doing what I'm told, so I won't fail much.

... you think the horse runs all of a sudden, but was it also a bug-stabbed stimulus or something?

I used to read in some book that horses react rapidly to sudden stimuli or something.

"Yeah, you're right.

So I'd like to let it go through in a serene horse so that other horses can handle it...

Master Takeo is not relaxed today... please loosen it.

"You say you can't... you can't do it at the time I'm thinking about it.

Because I am unconscious.

Takeo can only smile bitterly at Alice's demands.

------------------------

"Well, shall we go back to the mansion?

Alice says so, but leaves her body with Takeo.

"What you're saying isn't what you're doing, is it?

"Eh heh. ♪ Surprisingly, this place is cozy.

"Anytime.

and listening to Takeo, Alice gets up and goes to get the horse's reins.

Takeo also stands up, gently watering mugs and tea sets and carrying them in his backpack.

Go to Alice and receive the reins.

"Now it's time to go back to the mansion.

"Yeah."

And when they rode, they walked toward the castle gate.

------------------------

An emergency message had arrived at the Elvis residence when Alice and Takeo were on their way home.

Grandpa Elvis, who checked inside, said something.

"... that one doesn't know what he's doing..."

And he held his head.
