ā€œRifael!ā€
I called my beloved horse, Rifael.
Houyhnhnm. (Horse neigh)
Rifael, who was grazing in the grass, raised his face as I waited for him to notice me, and he lifted his forefoot and neighed.
ā€œCome!ā€
In response to my call, he came galloping towards me ā€“ or at least I saw it that way. In reality, he brushed me off and I had to drag him over.
Ah, excuse me, I ā€œrodeā€ him over. Details.
But his name is true. Dad named him. Seems he liked catchy names.
ā€œā€¦ Itā€™d be better if he was a little smarterā€¦.ā€
Originally, the Larmee type were bread for their strength and power that could carry a load calmly with ease. It would be nice to say that he was an essential item in this country.
Perhaps itā€™s human to say so, but even if this horse was reincarnated, it would still only have the wisdom of a horse in its past life.
I connected the wagon to Rifael while thinking about such things.
Sitting in the coachmanā€™s seat, I grab the reins.
ā€œHigh-Ho Silver!ā€
You shouldnā€™t need a translation to understand that one. Yes, I know. It is a nori. It is a joke. I promise.
I beat down Rifaelā€™s ass with a whip and we departed.
ā€¦ ah. I want a friend whoā€™d understand my stories and jokesā€¦
