Chapter 274


(274) Centaur comfort ride


Translator: Tseirp


That is Centaur no matter how I look at it? I can’t imagine it to be anybody, no, any other donkey … I’m pretty sure its Centaur .


There was the two-man saddle on its back and Centaur probably ate as it walked as the path I imagine it came from was pretty much devoid of gra.s.s and leaves . I can’t imagine there being any other donkey like this .


“Or perhaps all Slow Donkeys are gluttons?”


I took out from my item bag a tomato I harvested from My World .


It immediately sprinted toward me the moment the tomato came out .


“Woah . ”


I threw the tomato due to shock from the sudden speed . Showing off leaping abilities unlike a donkey, Centaur jumped and caught the tomato in mid-air . I was astonished by its physical ability unexpected of a donkey but I recalled that it mowed down monsters in Ferruit so this donkey was just that way .


“Hey, what happened to Jofre and Elize?”


I knew it wouldn’t reply but as expected, it didn’t respond at all either .


Was it lost?


For now, I should bring it to My World … no, I shouldn’t .


I could easily imagine the farms becoming a wasteland in an instant . If that happened, I don’t know what Pionia would say .


That said, leaving it here … wouldn’t be that bad either .


This guy would probably survive in the wild just fine .


I thought to myself but looking at the path this guy took, I sighed .


I felt that if I left this guy to its own devices, the spa.r.s.e forest would turn into a wasteland too .


I don’t believe Jofre and Elize (those two idiots) would die after getting caught in the fire so they were probably doing something stupid somewhere else .


Also, I might be able to get information on Miri if I find the two of them .


But I probably can’t look for livestock such as cows with this donkey in tow .


“Goblins, thank you for showing the way . You can go back now . ”


After I said that, the goblins lowered their heads and returned from the path they came from .


I returned the Goblin Sword into my item bag and sighed .


Then, I checked the surroundings with Hawk Eye .


It looked like Centaur came from the mountain where the Dwarves live .


I’ll just have to bring him along .


“Centaur, let’s go together . Let’s find your owners . ”


I said to it but Centaur immediately began eating gra.s.s after finishing the tomato .


… Is it even listening to me?


If I attached a tomato to a wooden stick and hang it in front of Centaur ― knowing it, the moment I take out a tomato, it would come attacking and I don’t wish to ride on it when it is charging after a tomato .


Centaur’s speed had increased even further from the time I met it in Ferruit . Did it eat even more Rare Medals?


If I’m not wrong, I somewhat recall hearing that lesser monsters have a limit to how strong they can become by eating Rare Medals .


“Are you actually originally an incredible monster? You’ll probably sweep the prizes if you partic.i.p.ate in a horse race . ”


Should I give it a rat teacher to train it? No, the protagonist of that manga is not a donkey but a fully-fledged thoroughbred .


Well, a donkey can’t partic.i.p.ate in a horse race in the first place .


“Tomato . ”


Centaur reacted to my voice .


Did it understand me? It may be a donkey but it isn’t completely stupid .


“I’ll give you ten tomatoes so let me ride you and walk slowly . ”


After hearing that, Centaur took a step back and stared into my eyes .


There was a saying that the eyes convey as much as words and I could understand what Centaur was implying .


“Twenty . ”


Centaur nodded and sat down in front of me .


It was probably letting me on .


Its gluttony was even greater than the desert runner .


Should I let them have a gluttony match and see who wins?


No, this donkey eats gra.s.s while desert runner eats meat so it won’t be a fair compet.i.tion .


“Well, it’s easier to control compared to Fuyun . ”


That women-lover would never let me ride on it .


Centaur kicked off the ground just as I was in thought .


Centaur started running all of a sudden . Moreover, it ran at a tremendous speed .


“Uoo! Oi, stop!”


I was confident in my own speed . However, this speed was not just at the level of a cheetah, it was that of the fastest cheat . And that was coming from me, a person with the Jobless and Growth Cheats .


And in the blink of an eye, Centaur arrived in front of the Dwarf mountain that I was heading toward .


Centaur abruptly came to a stop and I was tossed over it .


I failed in riding it ― I was amazed Jofreli could ride this runaway horse ― runaway donkey, without any issue (although I didn’t know what was their situation at the moment) .


There was a fence roughly about 1 meter tall in front of the mountain . Centaur could easily jump over it but it seemed that Centaur was telling me to hand over the tomatoes since it had already carried me out of the forest .


It’s terrifying how I could converse with Centaur through tacit understanding like this … I thought to myself as I pa.s.sed 20 tomatoes to Centaur .


I threw the first tomato a distance away before placing the remaining 19 down during the time it took to eat the first one . I would never make the mistake of feeding it by hand .


“E-em, is that donkey yours?”


A soldier dressed in Shiraraki Kingdom armor asked .


He was probably patrolling the border .


“Erm, it’s an acquaintance’s donkey … Well, you can take it that I am taking care of it now?”


The moment I said that the man blew into a whistle made of bamboo .


Hearing the whistle, soldier riding on horses rushed over .


“Please submit obediently ― you are under arrest for treason . ”


… . . Ha?
