Safari Park♪ 1

_________________________________________________________

Leaving Wazu"s herd aside, we dashed through the gra.s.s field.

Horse riding is surprisingly shaky. What should I do if my b.u.t.t starts hurting?

While I was thinking that, Target Spotted!

…A cow herd?

Un. One species was cows. From the horns, it was one of those water buffalos?

But, what was the other one??

"What ish dat?" (What is that?)

"The smaller one is called Land Bull. (TL – Randoburu) It can only be found on this continent. The bigger one is called Horn Head (TL – Houn heddo). They have a wild temperament so they are better suited for war."

The Land Bull"s job was to carry luggage. It was gentle and it wasn"t hard to breed it so they are apparently bred on farms to help till the land. So they actually were water buffaloes.

The Horn Head"s horn was very fascinating.

The horn was shaped like a T with a horizontal line. There was another one from the top of the head to the upper lips, hiding the bridge of the nose. Along with that, the eyes and ears are parallel, lined up to the sides of the nose.

It"s size is about 3m with the horn I believe? Without it, it was probably around Wazu-kun"s size.

"I"m gonna chee em closwaa!" (I"m going to see them closer!)

"That"s fine but don"t stimulate them too much alright?"

Fufufu. I have learned.

I"ll touch them after I called them over.

The Land Bull"s all had kind eyes. They must be popular since they were kind and strong!

I wonder if it"s because the feed was high quality but they had glossy hair that felt like a smooth blanket.

As I was studying their fur, one of them came over and licked my face.

Wai-, the drool, DROOL!! There was so much salva, my face was soaking set.

Seeing me, Lestin  wiped the saliva off.

When he wiped it off, the child that licked me cried out "b.u.moo."

Hm? It was a symbol of affection? Well then I must accept it am I right?!

As I joked around with the Land Bull, the Horn Head who got curious, gathered around.

Ohh? Onii-san, that"s some nice fur you got there!

Pomf

I buried my head into his fur.

Ah, it wasn"t stink. It smelled something like hay or rice patties.

The hair lines felt soft like wool. Ah but it wasn"t wool, it was acrylic..

I wanna touch the horn too! But I can"t reach it!!

Postpone it? After coming this far!?

I can have the Horn Head squat down for me but looking at their stature, it will cause quirt a burden to their legs.

Hmm how troubling.

As I was discouraged, the Horn Head lowered his neck as if he realized I couldn"t reached.

That"s right! Since they eating gra.s.s, they can lower their mouth to the ground!!

The horizontal lines, I realized as the horn came closer, were patterns.

Moyō ka to omotta ōsen wa,-kaku ga dandan ni nattetakara sō mie teta nda.

The horn itself was slippery/smooth.

But I had a feeling that I had the felt this before. What was it again?

Ahh I can almost remember but but it"s not coming up!!

Well, until I do, let"s continue patting/stroking. Hmmm pats/strokes. Not yet pats/strokes.

………I remember now!!

c.r.a.pe myrtle, it was c.r.a.pe myrtle!!

Phew, I"m refreshed now.

"BUGOOOO!!"

The child I was patting/stroking letted out a low pitched roar.

"Huh?"

"Careful!!"

Out of surprise bto the sudden change, I couldn"t move in front of the Horn Head who had turned rough.

As the Horn Head stood up, I flew backwards.

Ueeeee!!??

一瞬、ホーンヘッドの角にでも引っかかってそうなったのかと思ったが、着地点はダンさんの腕の中。
For a moment, I thought I was going get caught by the Horn Head"s horn but it landed in between Dan-san"s arms.
状況がわからずに目を白黒させていると、ホーンヘッドが別のホーンヘッドに突進して行く所だった。
The Horn Head darted its eyes around not yet sure of the situation/what happened and was at the point of rushing off to another Horn Head.

ガシンッ―――
Gashin―――

It sounded like 2 trees banging into each other and the Horn Head"s started attacking each other with their horns.

"That"s why I told you to not stimulate them too much didn"t I?"

Uーmm, what do you mean?

Lestin was surprised, seeing my confused expression.

"I seem You didn"t know about it. Horn Head"s are stimulated by having their horns touched. I have been told that they court each other by rubbing their horns together.

"And, after they are stimulated, they thrust their horns at one another to determine the superior one. Since the Horn Head"s society is run by who was the strongest, the gender doesn"t matter."

Hmm, what an unexpected ecology. There were many males that were war-like but the females are amazing huh!

But, putting aside the Horn Heads…

"Leshu-san threw mee!"

The person who threw me was Lestin.

"I apologize for being rough. But if I didn"t make it on time, you would have been trampled you know?"

Saying that while smiling shows that you"re not sorry at all!!

As I thought he is black-hearted? You"re a black-hearted character?!

Hugh walked over to me who was sulking and lightly chewed on my cheeks.

You came over to comfort me? As I thought you"re my Prince Charming!

Well, I have a lot of fluffy children who would let me pet and stroke them so I"m alright.

Healed by the knight, Hugh, I headed to find my next target.

I gave the Land Bull and Horn Heads, my farewell.

As I informed them, they cried out once "b.u.mou~ Fumou~." There were 30 of them so it was quite some force.

But it felt like they were telling me to come again so I was a bit happy.

Next time, let"s come after thinking of some counter-measures to touch the Horn Head"s horn. That sensation could become a habit.

Clop Clop

After a short carefree walk on the horse, Target Spotted!

Two rhinoceroses who are leisurely chewing on gra.s.s.

There was nothing different aside from their horns being a little longer than the rhinos back on Earth.

"It"s rhinoshuases!!" (It"s rhinoceroses!)

"They have a delicate and timid personality so lets watch them from afar alright?"

GAーN (TL: Depressed sound) Prohibited from stroking them!?

Alright! Since it"s like this, it"s time to call them ov-…or not.

Lestin-san"s eyes were scary.

"Good girl. Well then, I shall talk a bit about rhinoceroses to Nefertimsama."

Apparently, in this world, Rhinoceroses were like a living legend.

The horn of a rhinoceros, depending on how it is prepared, can become a medicine that can cure anything. It can also become high valued weapon or furniture and so it was a famous game that will allow hunters to get rich at once.

But, there were some encounters and eyewitnesses but there was only 3 cases where they were caught or hunted since these several years.

It was because they were timid and immediately flees once there was a human. Their habitat was also called the Dwelling of the Spirits/Deceased and no magic could be used in there.

By the way, apparently, the rhinoceroses here are all born and raised here.

The founding king"s rider beast was  rhinoceros and during one of his expeditions, his rhinoceros paired with a female rhinoceros and these children were made from their trial and error to increase their population.

Not only that, their breeding method was also strange.

They only release the female rhinoceros into the Dwelling of the Spirits/Deceased if there was a person who was a master of a sacred beast in the palace.

Since no magic can be used in the Dwelling of the Spirits/Deceased, they will ask the Sacred Beast to guard and bring the female back when she becomes pregnant. When they do, without omission, the male of the pair will follow.

…I won"t say that this is like the Badger Game! (TL: Badger Game – Scene where a man and a women trick another man into compromising for blackmail)

But well, the visual of a king"s riding beast being a rhinoceros is pretty questioning.

The founding king must have been a stranger person.

In the end, I admired the rhinoceroses I couldn"t come in contact with from afar and headed back onto the horse to find the next animal.

There is a Okkotonushi!! (TL: It"s a character from Princess Mononoke)

Wait, no. The species? Was a Boar G.o.d.

The huge boar who appears in a certain Anime is digging a hole you know!

But like, why a hole? Don"t tell me it"s one of those pitfalls!?

"What are dey doin?" (What are they doing?)

My articulation turned strange after the shock I recieved.

"Hm? Oh thhe Giant Boar? …It"s searching for food."

No…yeah. Right.

That doesn"t count as an explanation!!

"Like that, they search for earthworms living in the dirt."

Yep yep. This was the type of answer I wanted to hear Dan-san.

Even so, that"s some dynamic way of eating.

Ah, they were in the middle of their meal. Hmm, I don"t really want to bother them while they are eating.

While I was wondering what I should do, they noticed us and cried out. "Buhi Buhi"

Ah, they cry like a pig huh. They were big so it was a deeper but it was still a "buhi".

"Aah, you found us."

Lestin mumbled while smiled bitterly. Is there something wrong with being discovered?

But the Giant Boars didn"t look like they were going to move.

As they stared at us motionlessly, something from behind them approached us with a staggering force.

"Do Do Do" Along with the sound of stamping, I finally realized what it was. …Oh~ it was just a Boar piglet.

It had bloodshot eyes and was making a strange expression and was around the size of an adult pig but it was just a piglet!

WAIT A MINUTEE! STOOOPP!!

I called out cried out loudly in my mind.

The piglets suddenly braked and screeched to a stop in front of us.

To be able to do such manglike actions, what in the world are you guys.

There were 4 huge piglets…. If they continued with that force, we won"t just be a pile.

Each of us will fly off like characters in a manga.

"Buhi buhi! Buhi buhi!!"

They attacked us, asking us to play with them.

No no. We can"t even play like this!

It wasn"t just me. Dan-san and Lestin-san were also taking damage.

He-herupumeee! (TL: This was in j.a.pangrish) The mother of these kids!!

Their stretchy b.u.t.t was squishing me and my clothes were getting dirtied by their drool. The fur hitting my cheeks were also painful.

By now, I wasn"t in the state to stroke and pet any of them.

As I was floundering and drowning between the piglets, a strong cry rang out.

"HIHIーN"

The piglets, surprised by the cry from the horses, ran back to their mothers with the same force from before.

…what on Earth was that…

"Wazu, thank you. You saved us."

Lestin thanked Wazu.

I see. Wazu helped us.

Hugh also walked over to me worried.

Oops, my legs gave away slightly.

Those kids were like a storm.

"It was misfortunate we were found by them huh."

"The children of Giant Boar are highly curious creatures and when they find a person, they will charge at them because the human will play with them. Because of that, there are casualties every year."

To be injured from playing with them, just how wild was this work place!

For now, Lestin cleaned us up with magic and we headed to a elevated area for a break.

I satisfied my stomach with sandwiches made by the Cook-san from the Beast House.

Things what are wrapped with bread are called Pallas over here but that would means hot dogs and sandwiches were both Pallas.

There were many different ingredients such as flavored chicken and mashed potatoes, cheese and colorful vegetables, along with in season fruits sandwich.

What made me happy was that bite sized ones were properly prepared.

I must give my thanks when I return. I"m thankful for their thoughtfulness.

Now then, since I"m full and I"ve recovered my stamina, time to search for the next child!

Chapter 19 ~~

Safari Park♪ 2

As we our break and started the horses once again, we heard some footsteps from behind us.

I asked to stop and dinosaur-like animals came out in a swarm, walking on 2 feet.

"It"s abswa of Wakkas (ワァッカ)."

Ooh. An oval shaped face and long neck. They had slender, long legs and most of all, their round body is particularly cute!!

They were yellow with light brown spots and stripes on its body.

It might be to maintain balance but while walking, it kept it neck and tail level to the ground.

Not sure if it is because it degenerated, I can"t find the front legs.

I wonder if it was because it specializes in running.

The speed was incredible!

"Wakkas are the fastest animals on Earth. They are used as messengers and during emergencies even here."

I see.

But I wonder just how fast are they?

And so~

"I want chu wride it!!" (I want to ride it!!)

…yup. My speech is devastating today too.

*Sighs* "I thought you would say that."

What. Don"t look so troubled.

It"s alright isn"t it? I won"t say I want to ride alone. I"m alright with riding together with Dan-san or even the two of them together!

"There is some training required due to the speed of the Wakkas…"

"Noo! I wan chu!!" (Noo! I want to!!)

It doesn"t have to be at full speed. I"ll satify myself with a fifth (check ５割くらい) of the speed. Let me ride on the Wakka~!!

I gazed hopefully at Lestin.

I endured myself earlier with the rhinoceroses so I"m not giving in this time okay!

Lessltin gave in after a short minute.

"…for safety, we will be putting a lifeline on you alright?"

If I can ride on them, then that"s not a problem!

Lestin whistled. Unlike with Wazu, the length of the whistle changed.

"Pi~ Pyui Pyui" (TL: This looks kind of stupid in English but I a.s.sure you it"s better in j.a.panese)

Noticing Lestin"s whistle, the Wakkas changed their direction, heading this way.

"If it"s 2 people, then it should be Yosh (Yosshu) who has stamina."

Rather, just how many names had Lestin remembered?

He was checking their health while I was playing with the animals and called them by the ones who are fawning him by their names.

Dan-san at the Dragon Knight Unit also called them without any mistakes.

But I believe the animals breeding in the beast house goes easily over the 4 digits.

"How many names hav yuu remembered, Leshu-shan?" (How many names have you remembered Les-san?)

"Do you mean not the species but the names of each of them?"

"Mhm"

"Let"s see. Once you have time to grasp their traits after observing them, you can remember every one of them here."

Now here is the answer that didn"t betray m6 expectations!

Dan-san"s case, he remembers with affection but Lestin remembers with his amazing memorization skills am I right?

Leaving me, Lestin headed towards Yosh.

"Dan, please raise Nefertimsama."

I was raised by Dan-san who safely transferred me to Lestin and mounted.

Hmm, the position of my b.u.t.t is uncomfortable. I moved around searching for a comfy area. Alright, all good~!

"Well then, time to attach the lifeline."

Lestin wrapped the rope around my lower waist and quickly tied it Ito a bow.

"Please lean forward and cling onto Yosh. Not the but lower…yes like that. If you grip too hard, Yosh will stop so be careful."

Saying that, Lestin placed his hand on top of mine. Isn"t this making me lean even further?

"Kyaa~ pervert!" and the throbbing of romance. Just kidding~! There was no way~!

For me, a women who had given up on love, Romance? What"s what? Is it delicious? Ohh carp? (TL: It"s a j.a.panese pun.  Love and carp are both p.r.o.nounced Koi) It"s definitely delicious in cooking. That was the situation I"m in. There is also Bunny (TL: Her backpack) behind me so it"s not directly either.

Anyways, I am getting excited from the fur over here!

It"s short and hard but very smooth~.

"You will be thrown off if you don"t concentrate."

"Aye commander~!"

Lestin must have given a signal because Yosh started running.

In this situation, we couldn"t enjoy the scenery or even have a lesure chat, First of all, I couldn"t even lift my face!

Doddoddo

Unlike the light footsteps, the speed of the ground we pa.s.s by along with the wind pressure was unbelievable. Along with that, due to the pressure, it was hard to breathe and my eyes were dry and painful.

elmet…Where Is The Helmet!!

It was very surprising and I don"t know if it was because I was shaking in pain but Lestin noticed my abnormality.

I heard a chant and immediately my breathing eased and the wind pressure was gone.

"I accidently forgot about it. Are you alright now?"

Accident? …No, it was intentional wasn"t it!

After all, you voice says you were having fun….

Did I flip on a weird switch or something?

"I"m going to speed up a bit more alright?"

Saying so, Yosh sped up even more.

Tatatatata

The way it ran reminded me of the bird from a foreign anime from before. If the cry was like a car horn, then it will be exactly like it though.

-was what I was thinking in the beginning.

GYAAAAーーー

It felt like I was riding a rollercoaster with no no seatbelt.

The feeling of not knowing when you will be thrown off was super scary.

I give up! Yosh, slow down.

Yosh obeyed and slowed down to a stop.

"That was about half its fastest speed. How was it?"

"It makes me admire pepo who wride on Wakkis…" (It makes me admire people who can ride on Wakkis)

Though there will be a proper saddle and rein, it we measured the speed it"s number won"t be that high but it wasn"t a speed for a living person to ride on!

My experience of speed was the average biking speed.

We headed back to Dan-san who laughed at my exhausted state.

It isn"t funny at all okay!

PyuiーーーYooーーー

From somewhere, a bird cried out.

Lestin and Dan-san looked up simultaneously.

Seeing the bird, he stretched his finger out.

Eh? Where is it?

PyuiPyuiPyui

He whistled a signal to the bird. (TL: It"s those finger whistling)

Ah, there it is. A light brown bird was heading this way.

Meanwhile, Lestin took out a leather glove from inside his bag.

It was a glove connected to an arm cover. A gauntlet?

Wearing it, the bird landed on Lestin"s arm without hesitation.

Thi-…this was!!

Round and pretty eyes and a curved black beak. It had magnificent flight feathers…this was a falcon! It"s a raptor isn"t it!

HOW COOLーーー!!!

Lestin was like a falconer.

How nice~. I also want it on my arm!

…hmm. But it was impossible with my weak arms.

s...o...b..ri (TL: Sound of being depressed)

"Sighs I seems like one of my subordinated did something. They want me to return."

Eh? There was a letter attached?

Ah, looking closer, there was a tube like object attached to its leg.

Not a Carrier Pigeon but a Carrier Falcon!?

"Does it carry letters?"

Lestin-san seemed weary so I asked Dan-san.

"Yup. We use Gray Hawks in the daytime and Night Owls at night to exchange letters."

Owls and letters! I saw that somewhere before but how extravagant!!

How nice~. I want a raptor too.

"Leshu-san Leshu-san. Gimme it!"

Ah. I made a mistake. My desires flew out my mouth.

Lestin must have misunderstood and thought I wanted to touch it and slowly crouched with the Gray Hawk on his arm.

The feathers on the side was firm but the ones on the stomach was fluffy. I tried placed my fingers between its wings and it was super warm.

Will it be even more fluffier when it grows its winter feathers? I"m looking forward to it!

"Well then, this should be the end for today."

Boo, how disappointing. I wanted to see more of these mysterious animals like the Wild Hare or the Rye Panther, which is a black leopard. I was really looking forward to it but since Lestin-san has to work I guess it can"t be helped.

I did promise the King that I won"t go to places like the Dragon and Beast House or the ones with weapons or magic without the person in charge present so it can"t be helped.

"Can I pway wif the Wild Heas next time?" (Can I play with the Wild Hares next time?)

"Of course. As long as I am free, I will guide you around."

We said next time but, the commander doesn"t have a lot of free time….

As I thought, should I ask Vi to guarantee and time separately?

When we returned to the buildings, 2 Beast Knights greeted us.

"Commander Les! I am terribly sorry!!"

One of them got onto his knees apologized with great vigor.

"We can"t stop what already happened. Let"s hurry and come up with a plan."

Yup yup. If he is reflecting on it, then it is better to try to fix the situation rather than getting angry.

What a good superior….wait Lestin, your eyes are super scary. Are you fuming inside?

What Did You Do!?

"What happened?"

I asked Dan-san secretly.

"Ahh, apparently a White Moose ran away while they were patrolling.

White Moose? Sounds Delicious! It"s name sounds like a type of dessert!

No no. He meant a White Deer.

It will be a big issue if an animal runs away right? My condolences.

Well then, let"s head to Gisel-san"s place to play with my free time.
