14 Stories: Scarlet Dragon * 1

That night, I revealed the night where I wasn't in bed.

Outside. Outside, in front of the house.

Under the tree, wrapped in a blanket... slept surrounded by horses.

I ended up relaxing in the fountain until evening after dropping Mr. Redgard off, but then when I tried to get into the house, the horses wouldn't let me go home.

I think you're probably anxious. The horses have just been badly looked at, and it looks like they've been worried about me because I was down.

... so I went outside and slept surrounded by horses.

of, but restless.

... Basically, when I go to bed, I think it's a restless nature when other creatures are nearby. Especially horses, they have higher temperatures than humans, and when they're close, they know they're close, or... well, they're restless.

The horse is also a horse, and I don't know if it's open, sleeping, or not sleeping if I thought I was closing my eyes. I guess I won't settle down.... No, although I can't say anything because maybe it's because a creature called a horse is such a sleepless creature in the first place.

I can't sleep, so I think about it a lot.

First of all, it's about the poachers. Will they be punished properly?

... Thinking about this neighborhood makes me feel somewhat discontinued. I want you to be punished, but I feel guilty for thinking 'I want you to be punished'.

Well...... yeah, I can't help it. That's who I am.

Then, about that bird.

It was that bird who brought the testimony that would have been the material to punish the poachers.

... that bird, I wonder what it really is. Because it's a world with feather-bearing horses and horn-growing horses, I also wondered if giant comatose gummies are normal, but I don't know... I think he's crazy.

It's expressive. I'm not afraid of people. I'll give you an egg. I'll even bring a deposition as to where you brought it from.

What the hell is that?

... and the last thing that comes to mind is the original world.

I wonder if it's been about a month since I've been in this world. Though I suspect the days are well counted. Maybe a month or so.

A month... when I get back to my old world, will it be okay? What's your high school credit? Am I going to be attending enough days?

I don't know how it works around there because I never cared about it at all.... Well, I've never been out of school unless I caught a cold, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Yeah, well, I've been attending pretty much everything, so maybe, the unit's fine, you know.

If I can't... Yeah, I don't really want to think about it. Let's not.

But even if you keep your high school credits, I'm sure, don't go to school every day. Because I have to study late minutes in my absence... I may not have time to paint.

... I don't like it.

I don't like going back to the original world.

There's only one clear reason I want to go home, but that's all... too much else, too much hassle.

I don't know what's extra because I'm having fun in this world right now... but I kind of hate going back to my old world.

I was wandering amongst the horses while I was thinking, and sometime the night was dawning. Though I don't know if I stayed up all night or if I could have slept at some point.

... well no.

The sky at dawn, glowing like pink, is so beautiful. Even if they just saw this, I think it was worth the trouble sleeping for.

And then... well, maybe the horse would have been satisfied.

I was being taken care of that day by a horse.

When I slept and woke up, the horse had already brought me breakfast fruit, and then I was transported by a unicorn beast and allowed to bathe in the spring, wiped my body with heavenly horse feathers, and the dressing was taken by the boulder myself and dressed, and then again, I was to be surrounded by horses and take a nap.

... what is this.

Instead, all sorts of horses come next to me. Apparently, they're keeping the order right. Um, I don't know why it's in order, but for now, they're smart......

And I was also supposed to sleep that night surrounded by horses... and it was getting hard to sleep blankets and horses on the ground on boulders on bedding, so I decided to hang a hammock on a tree and sleep there. I hear the horse still convinced me. Still, I snuck under my hammock and slept, and I tried to stay with him.

And the next day.

... I was feeling a little better.

I couldn't sleep much because I was surrounded by horses last night and before, so I wondered if he had made any particular recovery, but he didn't... his body discomfort was gone.

"I guess it's because I slept surrounded by horses"

I try to whine to the horse, but the horse didn't answer anything in particular. He was just relaxing and walking and eating grass.... Animal therapy, horse therapy, I don't think there's any reason. Hmm.

I paint again because my body is feeling a little better.

This time drawing, it's just sketching.... I wanted to keep track of that kanji because there was a beautiful stone in it that Mr. Redgard was wearing, and I drew it.

Bracelet with deep red stone. I'm going to draw it, remembering it was in my left wrist.

That was the time.

"Hey! Towgo!

... From afar, I could see Mr. Redgard smiling.

"Yay! We've got all the poachers!

Apparently, he was able to use his testimony safely after that to incriminate the poachers, apparently.

"We still have a lot of procedures ahead of us. But for now, that settles one thing!

"Oh well. Good."

Now there will be no more poachers. That way, the horses will be safe. Good.

Good for you, I called out to the horse and he hissed cheerfully. Yeah. Good for you.

"You've really taken care of me this time. I got a poacher... and I even got a deposition ready."

"It was the horses and the birds that helped. Not me. Besides, I don't need it for poachers. It's like I put a lot of effort into it."

"No, thanks. This time, I gave you the exact statement. It was easy for me, and the guys I was buying and selling pulled it with."

Oh, well. If there are guys who sell horse feathers and horns, that means some of them buy them. And this time they caught that 'buyers' too, huh?

That's good. Not at all, though, not my power.

"... and I knew you were the one who helped me. If you weren't here, I'm sure both Pegasus and Unicorn would be... uh, birds? I'm sure he didn't move either."

But Mr. Redgard said so and slapped me in the back.

"So thank you, Togo!

Yeah. If it helped, most importantly.

... but please weaken your beating power a little bit more.

"... so, thanks to you, I wondered what I'd do. Things are different, aren't they? You can get everything you want if you draw it..."

Mr. Redgard's eyes look at the drawing bracelet in the sketchbook.

"Um, no. I didn't draw this because I wanted it, it was beautiful, for the record..."

"Hmm? Oh, really? Record, hey... If the real thing stays that way, it's the strongest record ever."

That's not true either... I didn't mean to materialize it, and that's why I was drawing it while trying not to draw too much... let's keep it quiet.

"I don't know what you want... a medal after all? I'm gonna talk to my dad."

"Um, you know, it's nothing."

"Really? Territory, then?"

"I don't want it"

I don't care if I get land or something....... but yeah.

"Then what do you want? If there's anything you want, I'd like to make it as much as I can."

"... anything at all?

I was a little lost looking up at Mr. Redgard... but I decided to say it for the future.

"Well, permission to live here, please"

"... you have no desire..."

I want you to say it's safety-oriented.

... then.

Mr. Redgard has been going through all kinds of proceedings ever since? so they did something about the poachers. He seemed busy, but he looked between them and came to see me.

Bring me food for souvenirs or a brush for horses.

And let me tell you a lot of stories... most importantly.

"Well, I'll let you take a nap!

"Yeah. Well, let me draw you a little."

"Ha. Nice. Take your time."

"Take your time there"

Mr. Redgard returns from a nap or a break when he comes to visit here. The point is, it looks like he's here to breathe.

And while he's taking a nap or taking a break or reading a book, I... I'm using him to make people dessant.

Even today, he started his nap in a hammock. Quickly, it's dessant practice.

Humans are complicated in shape. That's funny.

...... yeah. Glad Mr. Redgard is here now. Fun.
