"We can return now." Keith pumped his fist. The three hunted down even more monsters. He had gotten enough meat. He turned to the two, "Let's go home and plant these vegetables!"
"Po!" "Yeah!" The two were excited. As they walked,
"Ngeh!" Keith heard a loud cry! Huh? Was that a horse?
"Grab the rope!"
"We can't let this war horse get away!"
Keith's ear twitched when he heard that. War horse? He remembered the war horse the academy caught. Keith wasn't able to tame it, so he let it free.
Later on, the war horse also helped him out with saving Skar and the other dwarves.
It couldn't be, right? Keith didn't think it could be the same horse. There was no way...
It is! Keith couldn't suppress his curiosity as he took a detour. And what he saw caused him to look up at the sky.
Keith slapped himself when he saw the same horse being tied down. Well, tried to be tied down. Those guys were having a tough time doing it.
Should I? Keith sighed. It seemed they were working. It would open a whole can of worms if he jumped in. However, he stared at the horse that fought back.
"Keith, should we help him?" Fira tilted her head. Despite asking, her expression said it all. That was the case of Mir as well.
"Hah," Magic time. Keith quickly casted wind magic. It was hard to detect. Keith fired some wind bullets.
"Ahh!" The men screamed out as they dropped to the ground, unconscious. The horse stopped shaking when he noticed the men had just been knocked out.
"What's going on?!" Some turned around frantically, wondering what was going on. Even if they searched, they would never figure it out.
"Seriously, how did you get caught again?" The war horse's vigilance shot up. Keith jumped down from the tree. When the horse saw who it was, its vigilance died down.
"Let's not stay here any longer. These guys are going to wake up in a few minutes." It was stun, not kill. They would wake up soon. The horse understood as the group quickly fled the scene.
In the clear,
"How did you get yourself captured again?" Keith shook his head at this horse. Did you not learn from the first time?
"Ngeh!" Keith could speak Samui and owlese. But he couldn't understand the horse.
"Fira, please translate."
"He said he was eating grass, and those guys popped out!"
"Shouldn't there be grass deeper in the forest? Why are you eating the ones so close to the city?"
"Ngeh!" "Tasiter."
"..." Taste is going to kill you.
"Ngeh! Ngeh!"
"Huh?"
"The horse wants another apple." Fira translated.
"Here," Keith took an apple from the storage and handed it over,
"Ngeh!" "Thank you!"
"Don't mention it. Also, I think you should stay with me in the meantime."
"Ngeh?" The horse gave Keith a weird look.
"Why?"
"Because you're injured. It would probably take a day or two to heal. So stay on my island for a few days," Keith noticed the wound on his body. Those guys weren't like Tennol and the other instructors, who tried to capture him without hurting him.
They ruffed him up.
"After resting a few days, you can return to the forest."
"Ngeh!" "Agreed."
"Alright, let's head back." Keith smiled. Like that, the group of four head back to the city.
"Keith, you- what's that?" Gabriel noticed Keith had brought back a horse with him.
"The horse will be staying here for a day or two. Don't worry. He'll be leaving in a few days."
The others stared at the horse. Jack stated, "Is that really a horse? It looks like it could eat mine up for breakfast."
"Relax, he's harmless." Keith turned to the horse, "Right?"
"Ngeh!"
"As long as no one attacks me, I won't bother them." Fira translated.
"Okay, we're good." Keith sighed as he brought the horse to the back.
"Ngeh!"
"What's the matter?" Keith noticed the strange expression on his face.
"He's saying the grass is really delicious."
"Huh?" Keith tilted his head,
"Then you can eat the grass there," Keith pointed at a spot on the island. It was farther away from the mansion and garden,
"No one will bother you. And I'm not planning to use that part,"
"Ngeh!" "Thank you."
"No problem." Keith didn't look at the horse as he turned to Diana,
"Diana, can you tell me what these are?" Keith had picked five new fruits and vegetables.
"Oh, that's a milk fruit."
