Heroes In Other Worlds
START THE DEPARTURE
After listening to the king's explanation, Sagachi and Kenta Ken set off for their destination, the Zephyra— Kingdom, where the demon king Totemo Hokori rules.
The departure was soon to be made, and the king had the soldiers prepare the horses for Sagachi and Kenta's ride as they departed for the Kingdom of Zephyra. However, just now the king said to the soldiers to have them prepare the horses ....
"No need, Your Majesty," said Sagachi, refusing the horse which the king was about to prepare.
The king narrowed his eyes to hear the words of Sagachi just now, as well as Kenta Ken, he also felt astonished by Sagachi, in his heart he wondered, why did this blue-mistered teenager refuse the horse that the king was going to prepare?
"Sagachi, why did you refuse the horse I was going to prepare for you? Your journey will be far away. And surely, you need a mount to travel there," said the king inquiring.
Sagachi answered the king's question with the excuse, "Previously sorry, Your Majesty. It's not that I'm rejecting the horse you're about to prepare. However, I have a friend of a Mage who can create a Teleportation Portal. And I can ask for their help to move around to the place using their Teleportation Portal."
"Oh, that Teleportation Portal you used last night, right?" This time Kenta Ken spoke.
Sagachi replied, "Yes. Yesterday we headed to the Snow Land, where the Ice Dragon was. We went there using the Teleportation Portal created by Cika and Chizu."
Kenta Ken patted Sagachi on the shoulder, and then he said, "Sagachi, the Teleportation Portal can only be used once every seven days."
Hearing the words from Kenta Ken, Sagachi immediately debated, "But, that time Cika and Chizu used the Teleportation Portal twice. To head to the Snow Land create a Teleportation Portal, and after that return again to Hikari City as well by creating a Teleportation Portal again."
"Of course it can, but it still counts once. If we go there to create a Teleportation Portal, we can still create a Teleportation Portal again to return but cannot make the Teleportation Portal to another place if it has not been seven days," Kenta Ken explained, and he also hopes that Sagachi can understand the explanation.
"Oh, so so, huh?" tanya Sagachi responds to Kenta Ken's explanation.
"Yes" Kenta Ken replied briefly.
The king also spoke up. "You've heard, haven't you, what Ken just explained?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand" Sagachi said in response to the king's words.
"So don't you turn down the horse I'm going to prepare you, yeah!" the king said while patting Sagachi on the shoulder, and the blue-haired teenager nodded his head slowly, as a sign that he was responding to the king's words. "Then fight! Because this is going to be hard. First of all, go first to the Zephyra Kingdom! Because the kingdom was located closest to this region, compared to the kingdoms that the other demon lords ruled."
"All right, Your Majesty. Ken-san also told me that the kingdom of the first demon king that we will go to first Zephyra— kingdom where the demon king Totemo Hokori is," Sagachi said. The blue-haired teenager turned to Kenta Ken and said, "Well, Ken-san?"
"Yes" Kenta Ken replied briefly.
After that, the king ordered two of his soldiers to prepare a horse. Of course, the horse was for the rides of Kenta Ken as well as Sagachi.
The soldiers that the king commanded to prepare the horse also immediately carried out their duties. They prepare two selected horses that have a fairly strong physique compared to other horses. You could say, the horse is the level above the horses in general.
The two soldiers who prepared the horse, put the two horses in the palace courtyard, near the gate to exit the area of the Alcazar Kingdom of Seville. Each of the soldiers was in control of the horse, and the horse was tied to the gate.
"All right, thank you, soldier. You can continue your other duties" said the king in response to the soldier's words.
"All right, Your Majesty." The soldier then left this throne room and continued his other duties.
The king who is still sitting on the throne, stands and walks near Kenta Ken and also Sagachi who are still in this throne room. Then the king said, "The soldier has prepared his horse, you can already leave!"
"Well, Your Majesty," Kenta Ken and Sagachi said simultaneously.
"Bring this!" The king gave a brown cloth tied with a red rope to Kenta Ken.
"What is this, Your Majesty?" kenta Ken asked after receiving the cloth from the king.
The king replied, "For your supplies, it's 100 gold pieces."
"But, isn't this too much, Your Majesty?" ask Kenta Ken who is feeling sad. Because, it is not usual for the king to give such a large supply of money to him.
"No. Never mind, just take it!"
Kenta Ken put the money in his robe and said, "Well, Your Majesty, thank you very much. In that case, please withdraw!"
"Please!" the king invited.
After that, Kenta Ken and Sagachi came straight out of the throne room. They walked towards the palace grounds, to the place where the horses that the soldiers had prepared were. Arriving at the palace courtyard, they saw two black and white horses.
Kenta Ken, who saw the two horses tied up at the gate, pointed at the horse and said, "That's the horse, let's go!"
"Alright, come!" sagachi said Kenta Ken.
They approached the horses and then rode them. Kenta Ken rode on a black horse, while Sagachi was white.
Kenta Ken drives his horse. However, Sagachi did not follow him. Since Kenta Ken felt that Sagachi was not following him while he was walking his horse, he stopped his horse and then looked back. He saw that Sagachi was still sitting quietly on a horse near the gate guarded by two soldiers.
"Why don't you follow me?" ask Kenta Ken. He turned around and drove his horse towards Sagachi.
"A–I can't control a horse, I've never been," replied Sagachi honestly, after Kenta Ken was nearby.
That, too, makes Kenta Ken and also the guard soldiers feel astonished at this blue-haired teenager. In their hearts they wondered, pas'yeah, the one who was predicted to exterminate the seven demon lords could not ride a horse?
