13 Stories: Weird Horses and Poachers * 7

It was on the bed when I woke up.

For a while, blurry memories of why I'm here and what I remembered before I went into bed... then I saw a horse peeking through the window on the side of the bed and remembered a lot.

I get up in a hurry, get out of bed, and come close to the window. Then I saw a bunch of horses, near the window.

And at the head of it... are the three heads who have been terribly done by poachers. I remember the feathers and hyena colors, so maybe, definitely.

"Were you okay?

When I opened the window and reached out, the horse rubbed against my hand. On its back, the wings are moving. Because the injury has a proper bandage wrapped around it and there's no blood seeping through the bandage... maybe the wound is getting better.

"... good"

I was relieved, and then, as soon as I was relieved, my body lost its strength.

For the first time there, when I entered the floor, I realized that there was no strength in my body.

... Is that it? How long have I been asleep? [M]

I left the room telling the wall and tried to leave the house, where Mr. Redgard was. Mr. Redgard looks very worried as soon as he looks at me.

"Oh, man. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I can handle it"

Although there are strange temples that don't seem to help your body... on the contrary, that's all. Even though I can't help myself, I can't move.

"Was it Mr. Redgard who carried me?

"Oh, oh... sorry. I left it to Pegasus and the others, and they started trying to put me to sleep in the fountain."

That's... I'm glad you carried it. I think I might have caught a cold if I slept in the fountain.

"Good. Thank you. By the way, what about the poachers?

"Those guys have been escorted. I'm stuck in the town."

Oh, yeah. Good, because if those people were still in the woods, I was worried about the horses.

"... I just..."

But Mr. Redgard looked sinister.

"So far, the charges against them are" breaking and entering the woods that have been forbidden. "

"... poaching, not?

"Oh, unfortunately, I didn't even see the scene where they were sneaking fish, and those guys, where the hell did they get the wisdom," We didn't poach ourselves, we just went into the woods, "he says. I guess neither Pegasus feathers nor unicorn horns were taken yet. I couldn't find him, so I'm not guilty."

... right. Me and Tenma were the only ones who found them in the current offender, and maybe what Mr. Redgard saw was three invigorated Tenma and the poachers heading there, and me falling down without any particular significance. If I hide the wings or throw them away somewhere, I really... 'I'm not poaching' goes by.

Thinking about it... it's regrettable that I fell without doing anything. Yeah.

"Good for you. For now, Pegasus and you are safe."

"Yeah. Thanks"

For now, I'm glad I found out what happened after I fell.... as far as the results are concerned, it's never a good situation though.

"Totally, really freaked out. You found the poacher before me, and the poacher attacked me... and you fell for three days."

... Is that it?

3, day...?

"3 days"

"Yes. Three days!... What the hell did you do? Every time I come here, you haven't changed a single posture. I thought you were dead, really..."

Ugh, wow... that's scary.

You mean I've been unconscious for three days? No trauma? That's... that's scary. I'm so scared. What is that? I wonder how it was.

"Did you even use some big magic? I know a wizard who used to be like that when he hit me."

"... maybe that's it"

Maybe drawing two horses at a time and healing worked. One at a time would take about six hours of stunning, but that's, like, three days...

"You, be really careful, huh? I don't know, I'm unfamiliar with magic. Come on... I'm anxious to see."

"Ugh, yeah... that's, I'm sorry"

Well, I'm unfamiliar with that. What's magic? Because that's the state.

Yeah, but... let's just be careful in the future. If you draw a horse poorly, they're going to keep you asleep for three days.

"... by the way, I'm talking about poachers"

"Whoa. What's up?

Leaving me asleep, I care about you.

"Can't you manage to judge me for poaching? For example... can't I testify or something?"

"Thanks for the sleigh...... how do you testify to what?

"Huh?"

"No, because. Look, Pegasus and you, you're safe."

Mr. Redgard tilted his neck, he said.

As it stands, there are no injured pegasus or unicorns.

... Ah.

Oh, well... yes... I purposefully erased the evidence. I can't prove the sin of hurting a horse because there are no injured horses. That's the thing.

"Well...... so glad to hear how you feel, but that's hard. All you can testify to is," I saw a poacher chasing Pegasus, "and there's no proof of that."

Right...... I failed.

The cure for the horse got in Mr. Redgard's way. It wasn't a good thing for the horses, maybe.

"... don't be so stubborn! Nah! The poachers. Well, let's do something about it... Look, Pegasus saved us! Pegasus is delighted! I miss you so much for that proof! Even these guys appreciate it. I stuck it in your window and I couldn't leave."

A horse rubbed against me, as if to prove Mr. Redgard's words. Then fluffy and tickled with feathers. Tickle.

"There you go. Just eat something. I let him drink about water. Still haven't eaten anything in three days, you."

... When they say that, I'm hungry, I feel. Yeah. I'm hungry.

The horses bring fruit, as if they were going to tell me to eat it. The funniest thing was the guy the unicorn brought with a peach stab at the end of the horn. Well, that's how you carry things. Yeah.

... although I was a little depressed by what I couldn't do very well, but I can't help but be depressed. For now, I've decided to eat food and get better.

"I knew it was delicious, the fruit here. Why is it so sweet?

There's no reason to say 'It's Japanese fruit' to Mr. Redgard, who eats with fruit from the fruit trees around the fountain, and strikes the gavel with appropriate delusion. I don't know what the fruits of this world are, but the varietally improved fruits are delicious.

"... Oh, yeah. Togo, I forgot to tell you, there's no way to do something about poachers."

"Huh?"

Surprised by the suddenly unusual story, I'm also surprised by its content. 'Cause I thought you just said you had no choice but to charge me with' breaking and entering the woods that you forbade '?

"I can't prove I caught it. But if he was selling it, maybe he could prove it.... If they still have evidence of a deal that flushed Pegasus feathers and unicorn horns onto the black market, we can slap them with it!

Oh, well. The poachers caught horse horns and feathers and sold them. And if you can prove you were selling it, you mean you can broil the crime of poaching out of there.

"I'm fine. I'll definitely do it. Hang in the name of the Redgard family, this Faye Brad Redgard will definitely keep the peace in this forest! Huh?"

Mr. Redgard said so and laughed brightly to reassure me and the horses.

"... so it's time for me to go"

Then Mr. Redgard stood up. I guess he's busy too. Yet perhaps you were worried about me and came all the way to the back of the woods.... I've done something wrong.

"I'm going back to town, and I'm going to listen to all the poachers, and I'm going to look for a home there. Come on, even one of your testimonies will be enough!

But when Mr. Redgard said that, he laughed at me like he didn't even show tiredness.

... but I was remembering something completely different then.

"Um, can I have a word?"

I had enough memories to remember that I did put them in my pocket. So I looked in my pockets... and there was a piece of paper that seemed to have been in there for the last three days, but it did.

"Can you read this?

Tatami spread it out and gave it to Mr. Redgard, he read it... and looked weird.

"... I found what I was looking for before I looked"

"Huh?"

"This is a statement. I traded Pegasus feathers for a unicorn horn, that's proof."

... Oh well. Yeah. Good, then.

"No, why do you have this? You picked it up near the poachers or something?

"Yeah. The bird got it"

"A bird... you, really, are a weird one..."

Yeah, that bird is the weird one, not me.

Then, Mr. Redgard took the deposition home.

... I couldn't ask for more details, but maybe he helped me. Next time, I want to thank you properly.

If I thought so and blurred, at some point my usual giant bird came and started taking a bath in the water. Because I haven't been here for a while, or you're looking at me and tilting your neck.

"... heyyyyyyyy"

I saw the bird, and I followed it, and I said so. Yeah. This bird, he's a pretty weird one, after all.
