Chapter 1230
I barely managed to complete the run
“Papa! Almost there!”
“Wuff-wuff!”
“You can do it, Mr. Takumi!”
“Hah! Hah! Gah…hahh!”
I felt bad that I could not reply to the voices I was hearing, but I had to keep moving, as my legs felt like they were about to stop.
As Liza said, the walls of Ractos were getting closer, and I could see the gate.
Just a little more…
How long had I been running?
I didn’t know the exact distance, but it was around one hour by horse.
And it would be a little longer by carriage…
Why was I doing this to myself?
Was this what it was like to run a marathon?
Now that I thought about it, there was sothing called ‘runner’s high’?
It made your body feel lighter, or you felt numb… There were a lot of theories.
In any case, I still felt terrible, so it definitely wasn’t that.
As I thought of such things, I approached a place with n in armor. They looked at in surprise. I wonder why?
“Now…! I…arrived… Bah! Hah! Hah!”
I practically collapsed as I stopped in front of them.
With my hands on the ground for support, I panted for a mont, and then fell over onto my back.
I didn’t even care if my clothes got dirty.
“…Good Leo, thank you.”
“Wuff.”
“You did it, Mr. Takumi. You’ve run all of the way to Ractos.”
“Hah! Hah!”
“Here, papa. Mama made so wate!”
“Hah…! Ahhh! Th-thank you…Claire…”
“Huh? I’m not sister Claire, papa?”
“Hehehe. I see. Mr. Takumi. You should stay there and rest for a while. I will deal with the rest…”
“Huh…?”
I barely rembered what happened after that. Apparently, I had mistaken Liza for Claire.
Thinking back, I thought I probably saw Claire smiling in my head…?
To be honest, since she was the reason I pushed myself to the limit, it was no surprise that I would think of her in the end. Though, I did not tell the others that.
—
“Hah… I finally feel better. Thank you, Ms. Lyra. You too, Liza and Leo.”
After resting for about ten minutes, I drank so water and took so of the energy recovery herbs.
I thanked Ms. Lyra, who had talked with the guards, and Liza and Leo, who gave the water.
“No, it was nothing. That is why I accompanied you.”
“Yes!”
“Wuff!”
Ms. Lyra had to explain to the guards why there were so many fenrirs behind us. It probably looked like we were running away…
“Well, we’ve arrived now…but I suppose all of these fenrirs won’t be able to stay in the stables?”
There were twenty of them in all.
They could not be allowed to run freely in the town, and we couldn’t take all of them with us.
“I’m sorry…”
As I thought, the guard shook his head and apologized.
There really was no need to apologize. I had been the one who saw the fenrirs looking disappointed, and decided to bring them here without considering the rest.
Regardless, we could not make them wait by the gate either.
Even now, people were passing through and looked at us in surprise.
“Ah, I know. Isn’t there a forest on the south side of the town?”
“Yes. You can see the trees… Over there.”
The guard pointed to where the wall stopped. And you can see trees in the distance.
It was the forest that led to Bleiyu village.
