While Chante was waiting for her health to return, the hotel received an invitation from Orlov Rocco.

On a cardboard card that seemed to be fine, there was information about the store operated by Rocco and how to contact someone in advance when visiting the store.

The location appears to be in the south-eastern part of the kingdom of Genoa. Very close to the border with the Empire.

"I wonder, isn't this almost the Empire side?

Taketo roars as he leaves a map and an invitation on the table to see where it is.

Chante, who took a day off and recovered, peeked into the map.

"There's no big city around here."

"I wonder if there is a small village a little further away. We're out of business. How do we get there? Here"

He looked at the map with interest as he raised his finger with the glasses that Karon was wearing on his nose next door.

"On the map, borders are drawn with lines, but in reality there is no clear border on the ground. Simply a loose distinction between villages and towns to the east of the line being under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Genoa and the west being under the jurisdiction of the Empire. So the wilderness without villages or cities nearby is an ambiguous place that cannot be said to be either territory. Both jurisdictions are difficult to reconcile with land. That's why Rocco has a shop there. Even when I was there, there was a shop in a similar location."

The text of the invitation was transcribed on paper and sent to King's Landing by the bat, a message from Karon.

I'll get back to you as soon as I get a letter from Karon asking me to make a reservation and send it to a designated location.

The appointment was made three weeks later.

Upon returning to King's Landing, Taketo reported to the King and his superiors and immediately went to the Magic Life Sanctuary.

Pegasus, who won that auction, must have already been brought in. Pegasus was supposed to pay the taxis once they received it, and then be carefully transported here by a route separate from the taxis so that they wouldn't be followed.

Exit Ulu and head to the central administration building with Chante.

"Clinston, are you there?

I knocked on the office door and opened it, but I didn't see him in the room like that big brown dog.

"Is that it? No."

As I locked the door to find another place, there was a call for the tackles from the back of the room.

"I hear voices coming from over there."

As usual, Tonyoshi clings to the head of the tacket with his hooves.

There's a door over there.

Chante said there was a small door at the back of the room.

It was a thin door that looked like a rear door, so I thought it was a storage or something, but apparently the voice would come from the other side.

When I opened the door, it looked like a stable with a high roof.

Around the passage running in the middle of the stables, both ends were divided into comb-like compartments. From one of its partitions,

"This way!

Criston's voice rang. When I went there, I found myself standing on a large fork called the pitch fork that Criston stabbed on the ground.

"If it were Pegasus, I'd be here."

The point he pointed to. There was that pure white horse in the corner of the stables.

"Wow...."

The tacket is taken away by its too beautiful appearance.

"It's beautiful....."

Chante shouted with admiration.

Even in the dim stables, there is not a cloud of pure white fur that seems to shine slightly. It felt even bigger than a normal horse. Large angel-like wings are folded around the back. How beautiful it would be if I opened it.

One step away, Criston raises a pitch fork and spills through.

"Ah, you'd better stay away from me. I'm in a really rough mood."

"Eh... are you gonna attack me?

Indeed, Pegasus was staring at us with his sharp eyes.

I didn't think the Magic Beast Atlas described me as such a dangerous Magic Beast, but I couldn't help but be warned.

Pegasus used to live in herds in the northern prairies, but has a history of being overwhelmed by its divinity. Due to its high pride, nostalgia and difficult breeding, the number was quickly reduced, and now it has become a rare beast that rarely appears in back auctions.

"I don't think they'll attack if we don't get close. For the time being, he let me treat the wound. But I'm threatening to get closer except for the minimum allowance."

Despite Criston's restraint, Tongi jumped from the head of the tacket to the ground and approached Tokoto and Pegasus.

"Ah, here. Tongi"

Little Tonyoshi doesn't seem to get kicked by that fat leg.

However, Tongyi looked up at Pegasus with his round eyes, showing a vigilance so strong that his hair was about to stand upside down as he approached his feet in a calm state.

"I'm very angry."

"... you're mad at me..."

I guess so. He was captured by force and put in such a bad state. It seemed natural to have a strong sense of anger and vigilance towards humans themselves.

Strong vigilance against humans can be a little tricky to heal, but it's important for them to live in nature. There is no problem with that.

"If the injury heals, I'll put you back where you were."

As Taketo said, he tilted his neck, which was not sure whether Tongi was there.

"That's not all I'm feeling angry about."

"Isn't that all?

At that time, Chante, who was behind her, recalled something called "speaking," and took out a piece of paper folded from a shoulder pochette.

I opened it, and I recognize the tacket.

It was a list of the items sold that day that were distributed in advance to the participants in that beast auction.
