Liese had been busy.
　Krusty's disappearance had not increased Liese's original work, the duties of the teaching unit, but as the unrest spread throughout the guild, the number of matters that required minor adjustments increased.
　Offers and communications were no longer communicated smoothly, and the need to check every single one of them arose. It also increased the amount of time required for relationships, such as consulting, listening to concerns and comforting people.
　The most excruciating part was not knowing if these tasks were necessary.
　Liese had no idea what tasks needed to be done or how far they needed to be accomplished to make tomorrow brighter. That anxiety had made her want to understand and monitor every part of the operation, and the sheer volume of information had almost blown her away like an armor-sleeve.
　I wish I could give up with that, but perhaps out of a sense of impatience, I've been working to my limits and causing trouble for those around me.

　I didn't know the priorities of what I had to do, and I didn't know how much I needed to do enough. There were many nights when everything I did seemed like a failure and I felt like I was just getting in the way of the operation.
　My sleep was shallow and I would often jump out of bed in the middle of the night.
　My perspective on events was out of whack, and the slightest trouble seemed like a major problem standing in the future of the guild, and I was terrified to the point where I couldn't put my teeth to it.
　On the other hand, he had underestimated the cases that needed to be dealt with immediately, causing more damage to be done.
　Riese had the pride of having seen his work on guild management the closest, even without his fondness for Krusty. It wasn't just Liese, Drei-Klauen should have been such a position.
　But now that Krusty was gone, he realized that he didn't understand guild management, the division of work, or even the reporting system.
　The operating system, where the entire guild continues to operate autonomously with the division as a unit, as Krusty has been promoting, is working very well. If it had been flawed, the would have fallen apart in mid-air during the month that Takayama Trilogy had been out of action.
　Without a doubt, the fact that we were able to survive that shocking month was the result of the organizational structure Krusty had created.
　But after the New Year's Winter Festival (Snowfell), the days after that were slowly eroded by invisible metal fatigue. And it was a darkness with no end in sight.
　It was Henrietta and the others who saved me from those days.

'You're looking blue again,'
Is that right?
　Today, Liese was again kidnapped by Henrietta and brought into the guild hall of the Crescent Moon Alliance.
　The not-so-small dining room was filled with plants here and there, and paintings and strange stuffed animals were displayed in the gaps between them. They were supposed to be cluttered, but everything was also filled with handmade warmth. The table is a simple beige wood, which blends brightly under the faint orange lighting.
　The dining room of the Crescent Moon Alliance has a homely and warm feel to it. Riese thinks so.

　We are invited to have a late lunch, which is already a feast.
　It's a cream stew prepared by a "chef" named Girov. Even though it was the end of February, the weather was still cold, but it was a welcome treat.
　It was a quiet meal with few words.
　I heard that the members of the Crescent Moon Alliance had already finished their lunches. To begin with, it seems that nearly half of them are out with their lunches.
　In the afternoon, a peaceful time was flowing through the Guild Hall. From somewhere, there was the sound of small talk and the sound of the kitchen being cleaned up.
　It was the sound of life in this medium-sized guild, and Lise felt reassured by the sound.

'Your eyes are getting steely, too. Liese. I'm with my lord.'
　The other participant, Akatsuki, informed Liese. The petite, dark-haired girl stared at Liese with a slightly troubled expression in her dull eyes. Now that she was friends with Akatsuki, Liese could tell that the expression on her face was an expression of concern.
'I'll be fine. I won't be dented just yet.''
You can't be too stubborn.
　Liese was chastised by Henrietta with a flattering expression. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're going to be able to get it.
''Akatsuki-san is 20 years old, right?
"?　Yes.
"Ms. Henrietta is a double.
"Kohon.
　The confirmation was interrupted, and Lise let go of that easily. There are many things in the world that are best not pursued too much.
'I am twenty years old.'
Yes, sir.
　Liese feels saved by Akatsuki, who seems to be in a bad mood.
　She suffers from the gap between her age and her appearance, and she avoids looking young, but if anything, it's an enviable trait. It also means that she's young.
　However, if I were to say that as a high school student, I would be a bit of a hornbearer. That much is understandable to Liese.
''It's kind of strange.''
　Thinking that far, Lise suddenly realized and felt startled.
　Akatsuki was a twenty year old college student. Henrietta was an office worker at a large company. Mikakage was a student at a culinary school who wanted to become a confectioner, Minori was a junior high school student, and Nazuna was a dentist's assistant.
''You mean old?''
No, I just knew that in my old world, we probably wouldn't have been friends.
Maybe so.
　Akatsuki replied quietly with a look of being at a loss. It was funny to see her friend being bothered by Henrietta, and for the first time in a really long time, a smile broke out from Liese's cheeks.
　That feeling of loosening cheeks is surprising to Liese because it's been a long time. She was much more nervous than she thought she was.

'No, of course not!　It's said that cuteness is attraction, and Akatsuki and I would have met anyway!
There's no need for such assurances.
But he doesn't get angry at me for stroking him these days. I'm so happy!
　In front of Liese, Henrietta and Akatsuki were playing around as usual. Henrietta, who looks like her heart is flying, and Akatsuki, who is mortified but not so much disgusted. Akatsuki may not like it, but he's given up on resisting. Liese expects that this is probably because Akatsuki is still feeling the drawback from last year's incident, but she didn't dare to help.
　The reason is that I thought Akatsuki needed the body heat of a hug.

　Whatever the case, it was peaceful to spend time with two people that Liese felt close to.
　Naturally, my cheeks loosen up. I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of music.
''........It's hard when the scary glasses are gone?''
'Yes, I know. I've found that I've relied on Master Krusty a lot.
　Akatsuki, who had been shrugging his neck like a borrowed cat and enduring Henrietta's attack, asked Liese with a small smile. 'That's the problem Liese is facing.
'My lord was in trouble too,'
'I'm sure Master Shiroe is too. Master Krusty was the face of the diplomacy at the Round Table. He's still fine in terms of his absence, but it's clear that there's going to be problems in the future.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not able to cover the work of the Roundtable.
　Krusty's disappearance would certainly be a big problem for the Round Table.
　However, it is indeed impossible for Liese to bear that. She was finally able to honestly say that she couldn't bear it.
　As the commander of the instructional unit, I can command a large scale battle. I can also write the strategy process chart 《Management Plot》. However, those were only the strategies of the game. If I can pat myself on the back a little, I'm just applying game strategy to guild training in the current Akiba, an alternate world.
　After the , Krusty had always said that it was no different than before. 'The guild management we've been doing and the guild management from now on will be the same. Life over there and life here will not change.'' Many guild members seemed to think that this was an elusive statement that Krusty was good at, but Liese knew. That was a true statement that was priceless.
　The world after the Catastrophe is just as uninspiring as the real one. Krusty has spent the D.D.D. as it was meant to be, as his daily routine has not changed.
　Shiroe, the young man Akatsuki calls his master, is also a blinding presence. The young master of the Log Horizon guild has taken the same techniques used to attack the Catastrophe that he used to attack the game.
　The methods and policies of the game are easy to understand once explained: MMORPGs are games of communication. Therefore, if you are willing to risk your life for it, the strategy in a game (,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,) can be transferred to reality. I understand the logic, but I can't believe that they would take such a theory seriously and implement it.

　But is it really that crazy?
　Krusty and Shiroe are special, but Michitaka of the Oceanic Organization, Roderick of Roderick's Trading Company, Karashin of the Eighth Shopping Street, Soujiro, Isaac, Ains, Marielle, Henrietta, Kushi Yatama, and many others.
　In a sense, they hadn't all changed before and after the catastrophe, had they?
　In this ever-changing world, they continue to fight, using "being themselves" as their greatest weapon.
　Krusty and Shiroe mesh well with the situation, but everyone else is no better, if not more so, than they are in solving the situation at hand with their unwavering selves and experience.

　After all, Akatsuki at the end of last year and Liese now are just the same.
　I can't win because I'm focusing on game strategies and manuals, whether they are accurate or wrong, sufficient or inadequate, and that's why I can't win, and every day I feel anxious and distressed. That's the equivalent of Akatsuki worrying about his level and the presence or absence of 【Illusion Level】 equipment.
　Instead, he should focus more on his own will, determination, determination and way of life. Riese thought to himself. Krusty, as well as Michitaka and Isaac, are strong because they have that center.
　-- though I can't have confidence in them.

'I'm sure I've annoyed them a lot, and I'm sure I will still do so.
You don't need to worry about it, ma'am. I'm aware of the trouble you're going through. Besides, Shiroe must be doing something about it.
"...my lord doesn't think it's a bother. Besides, if you stop me, I'm sure I'll come to your aid myself.
　Liese's reply to her question was surprising.
　Henrietta assured her that she was fine with a sullen face, and the petite beautiful girl hugged to her bosom also had her cheeks dyed and was smiling resolutely.
　Her smile, always expressionless, was like petals spilling out of a flower.
　After that battle, Akatsuki had changed too. And I must have changed too.
　I too must take another step forward. Now is the time to do the task you've been putting off, not out of impatience or anxiety, but because you have to do it. The situation cannot be improved by just blaming Takayama and Liese alone.
　Now that Krusty is gone, D.D.D. needs Drei-Klauen.

　There are many magical items (magic items) in this world.
　They range from weapons, armor, equipment, books, and even furniture.
　After the Great Disaster, the number of magical items available to the adventurers exploded, but even before that, there was one item that was sought after as a useful item for the adventurers: bags.
　In Elder Tail, an accurate description would be "container". These items can be used to store other items, and range in size from small, handy items such as pouches and bags to large items such as wooden boxes, safes, and chests of drawers.
　Typical container items can hold a variety of items inside if the capacity allows. Magical container items can be stored without regard to size, reduce the weight of the stored items, or even alter certain stored items to create a variation that is difficult to grasp.
　The Magic Bag of Dzaneg is a magical container item that can be equipped at level 45 and above. There are some magic container items at lower equipment levels, but they are not major due to the amount of items that can be stored and the difficulty of obtaining them.
　Also, if you don't buy or sell items as a production worker, this bag can hold 200 kilograms, which is enough for everyday use. Moreover, there are high-level quests that increase the bag's performance, so it's a gem that many adventurers will use for a long time.
　The Dazanegg's Magic Bag is a must-have item for those who have completed the Elder Tail and is a gateway to the world of magic.

Are you ready for this?
That's what I'm talking about, Master.
　Touya replied to Naotsugu as he appeared in the living room, his heart pounding. In this large room, the younger group, including Touya, Minori, Isuzu and Rundelhaus, are preparing for their trip.
　It would have been easier to pack up their bags if they had a magic bag, but unfortunately, the younger students haven't gotten one yet. Instead, they set out on a journey to get their hands on the bag. The quest to obtain Dzaneg's Bag of Magic is available at the 45th level. It's a meaningless restriction now, but even after the catastrophe, the item's equippable level was still binding.
　They were going to leave the city of Akiba for the first time in order to obtain the materials needed to build the bag of magic.
''The carriage is ready, Naotsugu-san.
　Minori, who has just given an additional report, seems to be busy preparing for the trip with a notepad in hand.

　Our destination was the 'Redstone Mountains'.
　It's about 160 kilometers along the road. Since they were heading by horse and carriage, it would take about twenty days to travel there and back.
　Tohja dreamed of the mountains and nature she had never seen before and fidgeted a bit.
The Redstone Mountains are in the Nagano area, right?　Mountains, rivers, and forests!　And then there's the village I've never been to!
'Hmm. It's been a long time since I've traveled. Leave that knowledge to this Rundelhaus-Code.
Didn't Brother Rudy travel with you?
Yes, I was with the Adventurers all the way to Akiba, but I came alone from Bogport to Akiba. I was with the Adventurers all the way to Akiba, but I came to Akiba from Bogport by myself. So I'm very experienced.
Yeah, yeah. Put a barrel of water in the wagon.
I know!
Touya, here. Two more pairs of underwear.
It's already packed over here, Minori.
　Even Touya couldn't stop his heart from boiling over. It's a long time ago that I went on a trip in my former world. Even going away is rare. Moreover, this time, it's an overnight trip with just my friends from the younger group. It was much more interesting than a school trip, wasn't it? Going out in a horse and carriage is also very romantic.

　Touya and the others spread their luggage out on the wooden floor.
　They packed a change of clothes, stored food, and first aid supplies in their luggage while Minori checked them out. However, Touya doesn't need to think as hard as Minori does. Even if it's hand-made clothes, equipment derived from the Elder Tail will automatically erase dirt and scratches as long as it's sufficiently durable. In that sense, if you spend all your time in armor, you can at least get a change of clothes with a pair of underwear. Even food, if you're not looking for fun, you can spend your time in this world even with simple things.
　However, Touya doesn't make such tactless remarks.
　I know Minori is working hard, and that's a good thing. As an older brother (although Minori says she's an older sister), he's supposed to take care of his sister.
'Muu.'
　Beside him, Rundelhaus got down on his knees and began to rummage through his stuff.
'What's going on?　Brother Rudy.
Mmm. Mmm. I don't have my brush. It's an elegant adventurer's duty to keep up appearances.
What?
　Is that right?　Rundelhaus continues, ignoring Naotsugu's breath, who looks like he's about to rush in and say.
''I'm in trouble. This is an important item. It's a very important item, after all, it cost me a hundred gold coins.
"Rudy,
　It was Isuzu who approached Rundelhaus.
　Putting down her own bag made of ethnic fabric, she deftly pulled out a smoke blue pouch from among the bags Rundelhaus had scattered around.
'It's in the vanity set, okay?　Rudy. I'll take care of the rest of your stuff.
'Well, Miss Isuzu. I'm glad I found you.
　Seeing the two of them smiling and starting to put away their belongings made Touya happy.

　Both Rudy and Isuzu are important friends of the , and nowadays they are like brother and sister.
　When I was a child, Touya was a soccer player. Looking back, I don't know if he loved soccer that much or not, but for an energetic Touya, a ball was certainly enough to run around the school grounds with his friends after school.
　Even after she couldn't move her legs, Touya still went to a few gatherings with her friends.
　But after a couple of months, Touya stopped doing so.
　It wasn't that he felt jealous or hateful. He felt sorry and unhappy that his friends were so anxious to get rid of him and stop playing football in front of him.
　Touya had to keep his friends at a distance.
　It's important for Touya that everyone there has a smile on their face.
　Her family did not begrudge her the time she had to rely on a wheelchair. They knew they were being taken care of. But apart from that logic, she has also bitten her lip at the moment when her family's faces were furrowed. If someone had to put up with a smile for him, Touya was a boy who felt it as pain.
　So Touya was relieved when he saw the smiles of Rundelhaus, Isuzu and Minori.
　He also respects a young man named Shiroe.
　What Shiroe protected was not the life of Rundelhaus, but the smiles of everyone. It was the smiles of everyone.
　He was protecting the time we were able to spend in this way. That's a special and amazing thing.

''Mm-hmph~''
　After finally packing up her belongings into a small pile, Isuzu carefully patted the lute case she was holding with a twinkle in her eye.
　I'm going to go out on a hunt with just the younger group to obtain the material items for the . It's a quest trip--when I made such a plan, I think I was the one who was happiest, and Isuzu seems as happy as anyone else. Aside from Touya herself, I don't know what Isuzu's reasons are.
'Are you happy about the trip too, Isuzu sister?　Why?
'I'm glad, okay?　It's fun to go together. Besides, doesn't it feel like a tour?
　A tour?
　Everyone there, including Naotsugu, failed to grasp the meaning of those words.
'Because, you know, in a carriage, jakka jakka!　And...
　Isuzu stands up and makes a gesture as she hugs the case and stirs it up. Her happy pigtails bounce around, seemingly expressing Isuzu's feelings.
Touring is when musicians travel for the purpose of performing. Some famous artists perform on a global scale, and some indie musicians travel at their own expense.
　Nyanta emerged from the kitchen with a tea set and explained that as he approached the sofa table where Naotsugu was.
'Good, tour!　The Great Galactic Concert Tour!
We've got to get to Izu.
　The next tête-à-tête appears and rushes over to Naotsugu, while Akatsuki and Shiroe, as if to discourage him, enter, the members of the "Record Horizon" are all present.

　If that's how it's described, even Touya has heard of it.
　I've never been to a live music venue or the Budokan, but I've seen the video clips on the web.
　Myself, Minori, Isuzu, and the Rundel House. And then there's Serara from the Mikazuki League (Otari). The five of us set out on a tour in a carriage. I hadn't thought about it, but it sounded like a very exciting idea.
I see, a tour!　Boom, boom, boom. Thud.
　When Touya tapped the rucksack in hand like a drum with his palm, Isuzu looked a little startled, but he immediately laughed and spun around with his mouth, saying "riin riin fuiin" and imitating the sound of the instrument.
The first time I've heard the word "tour" but that's amazing. You're going around the village in forty-two.
No, no. I don't think I'm going to tour the village that often. You know?　Minori.
If you go all the way to the Redstone Mountains.......according to Shiroe's map, there are still four or five villages in there.
Come on, let's get out of here, village. You know, I need to get some water and supplies anyway.
　Touya quickly suggested.
　It would be fun to climb the mountain and hunt small wyverns, but I think it would be just as fun to visit and play in the Land Man village. When you meet a village, you're going to stay there for at least one night. If you can do both, it's much better to do both.
　Everyone seemed to agree, and Isuzu said, "Wow!　Tour. Yeah, the tour! I was delighted. His smile was dazzling.
Okay, leave it to me to show you the way and make up for it.
　Rundelhaus looks radiant as he stands up and declares.
　Touya didn't know much about music, but he could keep beating the drum with his physical strength. Serara could play a simple keyboard instrument, and Minori must have learned to play the lute from Isuzu. If we're talking about an artist's live show, it might not be very easy to keep up with, but it looked like it would be fun enough to help Isuzu out.

'It's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!'
　Shouting, Isuzu held Rundelhaus' head in her arms as she always did. It's a good thing that you're not a fan of Isuzu's skinship, even though Rundelhaus is supposed to be the oldest and tallest of Touya and the others, he seems to be uncomfortable with Isuzu's skinship and is unable to resist and is left at the mercy of it.
--I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. Hehehe.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
　It's because I realized that I'm the same way because I've been indebted to Minori for whatever reason, and I can't disobey her. Reflection.
　Throughout this trip, myself and Rundelhaus have had to demonstrate the cockiness of boys. A man has to put his body on the line when there's a need for it! I remember the look on Naotsugu's face as he crosses his arms and develops his own theory.
　Of course, he's a reliable companion, but three of his traveling companions are girls.
　What would I (and my friend Rundelhaus) do if I, as a boy, didn't protect them?
'Minori, Minori!　I'm going to buy a bunch of spare strings and stuff!
d*mn it, Miss Isuzu!
　Touya thought that while looking at the members who were laughing happily.


　◆


　There are several types of carriages in the Elder Tail, but the technical innovations that followed the formation of the Round Table were also influential. It is said that plate springs were originally used in some of the higher-end carriages, but now suspension and spring-loaded carriages, as well as light-weight materials, are being introduced.
　The Roderick Company developed a new type of carriage that used all of this strange technology without sparing a moment's thought, and the residents of Akiba were stunned. They didn't know what the point of a carriage with aerodynamic considerations and tail wings was. However, the ingenuity gained from some of these outbursts, simple and inexpensive, has slowly spread to the market.
　Of the various products made in Akiba, carriages are one of the most in demand by the "landlords".
　Some of the items made in Akiva's city that require magical powers are difficult for the Daichijin to use because they don't have a lot of mana, and the items that are made for the comfort of the modern earth are considered by the Daichijin as "why do we care about them so much? Most of the items are questionable.
　The adventurers may be able to buy these items with their pocket money, but the earthlings are not. Of course, the expensive items purchased by the lords and nobles of the Free City Alliance Eastar were fine, but that wouldn't increase the number of items needed.

　That's where a new type of carriage is really an ideal product.
　Some of them use magic, of course, but other mechanically designed carriages can also be used by the Daichijinshi. Improving the performance of the carriage too much will increase the level of the guru, but fortunately, the positions of guru and tradesman are popular among the Dairyman, and there are many of them, so this is not a problem.
　The cost of the carriage is naturally high, but the carriage is not a consumable item. When a merchant uses them, it is possible to make a profit on them in a short amount of time, considering the efficiency of the business. For this reason, high prices are unlikely to be a problem.
　Along with chrome-molybdenum steel farm equipment, the top product the Daichijin wanted to buy from Akiba was a horse-drawn carriage.

　The carriage that Isuzu and the others purchased was one of those products.
　Of course, there were high-end carriages for adventurers, but they were basically just ordinary carriages. The performance of 80 fire resistant and cold air versus electric shock defense rank is beyond the reach of Isuzu and the others.
　It's enough if it's sturdy, easy to maneuver, packs a lot of stuff and can carry five or six people. Isuzu considered the possibility of a wagon or box carriage, but they settled on a covered wagon. We went to great lengths to make the cloth used for the hood a water-repellent material. Since we were going to be camping in tents anyway, we didn't need to make the carriage itself more comfortable in the rain.
　It was a relatively lightweight carriage.
　As a result of considering the fact that Isuzu and the others are still at the medium level and that there are many uneven terrain on the road to the destination, it is better to have a carriage that is not too heavy - as a result of the advice I received from the duo of Nyanta and Roderick, such as The decision was made.
　The price was paid in exactly five equal parts, so the carriage belonged to Isuzu and the others. Serara and Minori bought quilted cushions at the market and installed them on the inside of the hood. The luggage compartment is waterproof, so even if it were to get flooded, you would be safe inside this compartment. Touya puts the LOG HORIZON logo on the top.　And it was unanimously supported.
　Isuzu strangled Minori when she tried to draw, which I don't want to remember.

　As for the horse driving the carriage, Isuzu bought a summoning flute, just like an adventurer.
　The flute is a type of magical item that summons a beast to be used by the Adventurer. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to summon flying creatures and fantasy creatures, such as the Gryphon and other high-ranking ones. This is a huge variety of items, and there are quite a few that simply call horses. The type of horse you call, its abilities, how long the horse will help you after you call it once, the number of times you use it, and how long it takes to become available again after you use it. There were various factors, and naturally the price was also very high.
　In this world, there are also 'ordinary horses' that are mainly used by the 'earthlings'. These horses are animals that stay with you and share your life with you for a long time; they don't appear out of the blue when you blow your whistle, and they don't run away after the time limit has passed.
　But such horses must be fed and cared for, and they can't be made to listen to the adventurer's level. The safest option is still the Summoning Flute.
　The item Isuzu and the others purchased was the Lyman's Twin Flutes.
　Considering the size of the carriage we purchased, we needed two horses, and the item that can summon two horses was cheaper than buying two flutes. But if anything, the love at first sight aspect of the name and the horses was also a big part of it. The name "Twin Horse Flute" made me think of Minori and Touya, and the horse that was called out was a packhorse, but it was sturdy, fearless and supremely good-looking.

''Wafuah. Wafuah!
　With an unintelligible cheer, Serara was overjoyed and gave the twin horses cabbages. Since they were summoned horses, they didn't need to be fed, but that didn't seem to matter.
　From behind Rundelhaus, who was wiping the horse's neck with a rag with a familiar gesture, Isuzu spoke in a hushed voice.
'Rudy, you know what?'
What's going on?　I'm not that scared.
Wouldn't he be offended if I touched him?
'He'll be fine. She's quiet, and she doesn't seem so irritated right now.
　The horse glanced at Isuzu and then seemed to lose interest and focused the rest of the time on the cabbage that Serara and the others were feeding him. Maybe it's just more of a bite than a docile one.　Isuzu remembered such a question, but her curiosity was not overcome.
　She swallowed raw saliva and touched it fearfully.
　The horse's body was warmer than she'd imagined, and she could feel the muscles under her palm. Isuzu was inexplicably moved by it. Come to think of it, it was the first time in his life that he had ever touched such a large animal.
　Just by stepping over his legs as if he were writhing, he could feel the overwhelming muscle power of the horse driving him. It's an indisputable momentum, "Oh, it's a creature! Isuzu was given the realization that this was a good thing.

　I don't mean to make excuses, but Isuzu had little experience with the skin of other creatures. It's not so much Isuzu, but rather I don't think most high school girls touch large creatures on a daily basis. If you are a high school student, you are not old enough to spoil your parents. They may jokingly hug their friends, but that's only on the premise that they are wearing clothes and there is no such thing as direct physical contact.
　That's why I was surprised by the emotion of touching a large creature.
''Hmm?　Miss Isuzu. What's up with you?　Are you afraid of horses?
　Isuzu rolled her eyes, and Rundelhaus peered at her with a worried look, smoothing her brilliant blonde hair.
''Nope.''
　Isuzu shook her head buzzingly.
'I'm not scared at all. Cute.'
　Well, that's good, then. Isuzu ran a hand through that hair of Rundelhaus's hair and stroked it crisply. Rundelhaus' mouth was hollowed out by that, and he had a dissatisfied expression, but Isuzu's cheeks became hot, and she stirred it up like a tease.
(Yeah, it's okay. I don't mind touching the doggie.)
　Isuzu checked that way.
　The moment she touched the horse, she felt somewhat extremely embarrassed and startled, but she cheated by touching Rundelhaus. I felt bad for Rundelhaus, who resisted, but still, what had to be done had to be done.
''Isuzu-san, do you want to give her some cabbage too?''
Yeah, I'll give it to you. Come on, Rudy!
I'm fine. I'm fine with that.
No, no, no. She's part of the tour.
　Isuzu shouted to blow away her embarrassment.
　The horses, startled by her voice, snorted and glared at her, but she bowed her head in disbelief. The horse is a coward, you can't scream," Rundelhaus snapped at her.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You should apologize more often.
"I'm sorry. Come on, Rudy, apologize too!
Huh. I'm sorry, my horse.
　By the time I offered four carrots to him and made up with him, the sun was already setting.
　And so the day of our departure arrived in the blink of an eye.
