Shinka no Mi

"Here..."

Salia and I broke up, and I made it to the store where I was selling horses, as per the map Gastle had me write.

Incidentally, the name of the store was "The Demon Dealer," and the sign on the outside of the store said, "I'm selling a cute demon that's going round my head."

...... Hmm!?

Wait a minute! Are you sure the demons that glimpse from your head are cute?!?

No, Mr. Adriana's house is full of milk...!

hey, are you cute if you get used to it......?

I was already anxious before I entered the store, but I never set foot in the store.

"Hmm? There you are! What kind of demon are you here to see?

When I walked into the store, Osama talked to me, balding beautifully at the top of his head, who seemed to be feeling good.

"Uh... I want a horse"

I told him that I wanted a horse, which was the purpose of coming to this store immediately.

Then Osama laughs niggly.

"Ha ha. You're going to the next tournament, too, right?

"To? Games?

All of a sudden, in the words of my first ear, I make an unexpected dumb voice.

Seeing how I was like that, Osama also realized his mistake, which turned into a bitter laugh.

"Oh, what, no? No, I thought I was going to compete in the [Wangdu Cup] next time."

"Uh... what is it? It."

To my question, which I really don't understand, Osama taught me politely without being bothered.

"Simply put, I mean the race around the walls of this king's capital. The demons to ride, of course, the horse lineage. In this race, you decide on the best rider in the king's capital. The winner gets a prize every time. Apparently, you're not in that race to see how you react."

"Yep. For once, in an adventurer's request, I was told I might use a horse"

But... a race. Is that like horse racing?

Well, from what Osama says, it looks like anyone could join us.

"Right. Well, follow me. I'll show you the horses that adventurers often use."

When Osama took me and kept me in the back of the store, a variety of demons, including wolf-shaped demons and monkey-shaped demons like Clevermonkeys, were in sturdy cages.

"We're here. These are the horses that are typically used among adventurers."

"This is..."

Among the cages guided by Osama were several black horses with silver scales, such as flanks and feet.

"You're a kind of horse called 'Horse Dragon'. Wild horse dragons are ferocious, but if they are kept as livestock, they become warm people who listen carefully to humans. We have horsepower, so we can pull the carriage, we can work it, we can stay on, we can run pretty fast."

"Heh."

Horse dragon... From what I've heard, you look great.

Well, I don't need the horse itself in the first place, okay? Fortunately, I have enough money.

"This horse dragon is good. How much is it?

"Right... I'm about to say five gold coins... ah! Yes, I forgot to ask..."

As soon as he told me the price, Osama asked me in a hurry.

"Do you have 'horseback riding' skills?

"Horse-riding skills...... no, I don't have one"

"Then you can't do that."

"What!?"

Too abruptly they say that, I'm flabbergasted.

You have horseback riding skills? Besides, even with my cheat skills, I don't seem to be able to master them just by asking my skill name...

Do I have to ride a horse once to master it?

That's all I think about, I come up with a name plan.

If you can't learn by your skill name, ask how to ride a horse, maybe you can learn it?

I thought so. I decided to ask Osama soon.

"Ah! Sounds strange, but can you tell me how to ride a horse?

"I can ride a horse!

"Nantecotta......!

You're selling demons, and apparently this Osama can't ride all demons and animals, not just horse dragons. Chickshaw!

With that in mind, an inorganic voice sounded on my head.

"Activate all language comprehension skills - Success. I can now understand the language of the horse dragon '

What are you talking about?

It was me who was surprised by the way things unfolded too suddenly, but soon I understand what the word just means.

Oh, well. "Understanding All Languages" was a skill acquired from a crate that was defeated in the labyrinth where the Black Dragon God was.

It doesn't always succeed, but it also said it was valid for demons, and I guess that activated this time.

With that in mind, I decided to point my gaze at the horse dragons and ask them what they were talking about.

Horse conversations are not something you can hear.

Come on, horse...... what conversation are you having!?

'Hey, that hooded man... he can't even ride a horse, huh?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

"Ooh, people who can't even ride horses go home!

"We don't obey people who can't ride."

I regretted it so much.

... what am I to be fooled by a horse...

If I noticed, there was sweat coming out of my eyes. Because it's not a tear. Because it's not.

Osama can't have noticed me taking a lot of mental damage, and he normally talks to me.

"Well, don't give up horse dragons. Because there are other novice horses. He doesn't need horseback riding skills, and while he's riding, he can learn horseback riding skills."

"Oh, really?"

Oh, no, that's fine.

Besides, if it's for beginners, it's perfect for me right now.

"I only have one head left. Follow me."

Once again, Osama will be guided to a different cage.

"He's the horse."

"Oh!"

There he was, with a crisp expression, gracefully stood a beautifully hairy horse of koshi tea, which produced something like a splendid deer tuna.

Unlike the horse dragon earlier, he's classy and cool. There's no scales, but they're growing.

"He's the type of guy named 'The Horse'."

It's a terrible kind of name though.

Umasika...... if you make it kanji, you mean stupid, right? Couldn't you have had another name?

Sure, though a horse grows like a deer tuna......

"He says it's for beginners, but he's good at a lot of things, huh? First of all, the horsepower is different. That's twice as good as the horse dragon."

"Twice!?"

Awesome horse!

"The speed is also abnormal, with the speed of eating at the top among the horse types. Yet, I am loyal to the Lord, and not as fierce in the wild as a horse dragon. Well, that's a good horse."

It's true! The horse dragon just now is summery!?

The name's losing, but the performance's a ton of demo. Hey, you're a horse!

My heart was already set on this horse.

But Osama came here and said something surprising.

"Just? He's... amazingly stupid."

"As the name is!?"

It wasn't just a horse, it was really stupid!

The fact of the shock, I accidentally stumbled on, Osama goes on.

"You say how stupid you are... First of all, you can't get to where you're going"

"It's already deadly!

"Forget I ate the bait"

"Seriously!?"

"Forget the owner"

"Isn't that the worst!?"

"And... forget to breathe"

"You're gonna die!?"

"Oh. So you don't even realize you're dead..."

"You're the ultimate idiot!

I can't save you......!

Why don't you open the lid and it's just a waste of horses?

The high specs are ruined!

I'm tired of all these scratchy horses.

When I'm breathing, I realize I have one.

... When you're a horse dragon, why aren't your skills activated against horses when your skills have been activated unconditionally?

To such a question, leaning his neck, Osama was sometime inside the equine cage.

"Well, it's definitely stupid. With proper discipline, you can use it as a fine horse. Beep!"

That's what Osama said, slapping the horse in the neck.

...... dosa.

At that moment, the equine fell in the opposite direction to that beaten by Osama, while still standing.

Seeing a suddenly fallen horse, Osama said something.

"... ah. He's gonna die."

Umasika, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

No way did I really forget to breathe and die!? I feel like I can't clean up with the word "idiot" anymore!?

If you didn't think your skills would activate, you were dead!? Then there's no word or shit on the body!

Most importantly, I feel the most Manuke is that the look on the horse's face that should be dead is still Rin......!

Do something about your head before you cool it...

I don't feel sorry for you when you look at all the idiotic things that go diagonally up the equine's prediction.

Then Osama, who had been watching such a horse silently for a while, accidentally opened his mouth.

"I don't know if he's dead. Do you want a horsesprick?"

"Whoa, come on, come on, come on, come on!

I love you so much! At least feed him...!

You noticed how I felt, Osama turned to me and explained.

"You can eat horses. That's why every owner eats horses when they die like this."

"I see..."

"Just for horses, it's delicious!

Osama's cocksucker gag went through.

"Hold on... because he's dead, there are only two more types of horses I can introduce... Besides, those two types are proper wakaari..."

"Uh... for what reason?

To my question, Osama thought for a moment, but once again leads me to a different cage.

"Well, it's sooner to see it. Follow me."

As I followed, I reached a cage that seemed so sturdy that it was incomparable with horses and horse dragons.

Besides, it's not an iron lattice like earlier, it's surrounded by something like a complete iron plate, and there doesn't seem to be any way to check inside only with a small window in the part of the door.

"Ready? He's a creature I don't even know very well."

"Huh?"

"You look somewhat like a horse, so here's how I introduced you...... anyway, take a look"

Yes, Osama urged me to take a peek in the cage through the window.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow"

Immediately closed the small window.

………………

"That's crazy... it's like I saw a monster, not a horse..."

I peered into the cage through the window to check again.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow"

Inside the cage, walking on all fours with yellow skin, and without eyes or nose, there was an organism whose mouth could not be three.

…………

"I didn't see it wrong......!

It's not a horse! That was a monster! Plus, you look more like a monster than a horse dragon or any of the demons you've ever fought!

With all the confusion, Osama says in a smug tone.

"Hmmm...... I still don't get it. I've seen all sorts of demons over the years, but I've never seen a demon look so eggy. Honestly, it's creepy."

Wow. Sounds like a human selling demons enough to pull it off, too.

I peeked inside through the window again and activated my appraisal skills.

"Unconfirmed Life Form LV????

He said it was just UMA. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!?

Not a horse, it's UMA!

I thought it was crazy! More monsters than demons!

Besides, the level is a hatena mark!?

"Oh, Osama... I ask you once, this UMA... what's going on?

"Sure... I came down from the sky when I was sourcing horses and other demons' feed outside the walls. No, I was surprised then!

"I'm not talking about surprises!?"

It's not a girl from the sky, it's UMA!? Ji Oori is surprised too!

Not long ago, as intense scratching, an inorganic voice echoed my head, just as it did when I was a horse dragon.

"Activate all language comprehension skills - Success. I can now understand the language of unidentified life forms. '

They've succeeded.

Now I can make contact with the aliens in the dream of mankind!... Is that it? Why not, I'm not happy at all......!

Afraid, I peered through the small window into the cage to hear what UMA had to say.

"...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Osama, let's go see the last horse"

I decided not to listen to UMA.

Yeah, I didn't hear anything. Yes, I haven't heard a single resentful voice...!

"Oh? Is he good?

"Yeah, I'm already very satisfied. Don't worry, I'll never need it."

"Really? I hope so."

Osama takes me again and I reach a different cage.

Then Osama wrinkled between his eyebrows.

"Do you know what I'm saying? The last thing I'd recommend is a horse to show you now."

"Huh?"

"Whatever, I don't listen to the Lord. Kick all the males' horses, even if they mate to give birth to new ones. So, Soitz hasn't mated once since he was born. If you keep people close, even this me is gonna kick your ass, okay? Honestly, a female horse who doesn't have children is in the way of wasting her time eating rice. Well, I try not to take my life unless I die of nature. I'll feed you, and I'll take care of you till the end... Maybe it's my fault I'm in the way."

"Huh? But is that more dangerous to UMA just now? I didn't get a friendly vibe at all."

Osama sighs loudly when I'm absolutely natural.

"Sure, that monster would be the best thing to say in terms of danger and not listening. But he's a rare creature I don't even know about. Still, it's more valuable as a product, so it's more likely to sell. And the horse I have on my head, it's not even worth that rarity. Rather, it's inferior to even just a horse. You already know that, don't you? The horse..."

Osama urges me to take a peek in the cage.

Beautiful brown fur, horse dragons and horses... no, it's about a turn smaller than a normal horse, and then your ankles look strong.

Beautiful eyes with long eyelashes are very pretty, Rin and adorable.

Yes, what horse was in the cage -.

"- It's a loba...!

Osama's sad cry echoed into the room.
