BXBX NOVEL Chapter 309
Translator: Tseirp
For now, I switched Haru’s second job to Sword Saint .
And as traveling via the highway would actually be quite a detour, Carol led the way and led us off the highway .
However, it would have been difficult traveling on a carriage on unpaved paths .
As such, rather than use the carriage, we traveled on horseback instead . Haru rode on Fuyun while Carol and I rode on Desert Runner so we sped up even more .
We couldn’t work on our Blacksmith and Herbalist side jobs but our traveling speed was much faster .
“Haru, are you fine without reins?”
“Yes, there’s no problem . Fuyun is an excellent horse . ”
I see . Fuyun seemed somewhat delighted too . That female loving horse is seriously hopeless .
“Ichino-sama, a little to the left — okay, that direction please . ”
“Thanks for leading the way — but I don’t understand . There are no landmarks at all . ”
“There are a lot more landmarks compared to the sea . ”
“Well, that’s certainly true . ”
“Moreover, Ichino-sama prepared a good map . ”
Carol said with a smile as she looked at the map .
She was referring to a map that looked like one of those that the military use when planning strategies and I was surprised as well that I had it .
However, I couldn’t recall where I got it from .
“By the way, Ichino-sama . Have you thought of a name for this Desert Runner?”
“Yeah, I do have candidates . ”
I was troubled with what to choose .
It’s a Desert Runner so in short, 『Derun』 .
It’s a big eater so 『Gluttony』, with the meaning of overeating .
It’s not had a name until now so 『Noname(Nanashi)』 .
The best candidate so far is 『Noname』 after all .
All right .
“It’s name will be Nana … wat . ”
The Desert Runner suddenly jumped over a rock so I unconsciously exclaimed .
“Nanawat huh? That’s a good name . ”
… Eh?
Carol readily accepted the name I gave it .
No no, it’s not the lastest power consumption of the recent LED bulbs, seven watts . (TL: Nana = 7)
“I think it’s a good name too . Nanawat . ”
Haru agreed as well . Seriously? Is Nanawat the final decision?
The current atmosphere made it hard to say that it was a mistake .
Okay then . It sounds easy to call anyway .
“You are Nanawat from now on . Okay?”
The Desert Runner, now called Nanawat, didn’t reply as it focused on running straight ahead . I guess this guy is happy as long as he gets to eat delicious food .
“Carol . How long will it take for us to reach Mount Landau at this rate?”
“Let me see . I believe we will arrive by evening but there is a small village in front that I thought of spending a night in — ah, it might be better to rest in My World . ”
“That’s true . We probably can’t expect much of the bed quality in a small village . Incidentally, what is the specialty of that village?”
If the small village had its local delicacy, I definitely want to buy some . I believe that is also part of the fun during travels .
“The specialty of the next village is ginger . ”
“Ginger huh . I would like to buy spices if possible . ”
“The neighboring village is apparently famous for green onion . ”
“Green onion — ginger and green onion huh . They would go well for stew — no, at this season, it would go well with somen too . ”
I wonder if there are any among the Japan food Miri brought with her .
It would be good if any of us catches a cold too .
Since illness such as colds can’t be cured using the Detoxification spell .
“… Eh?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Ginger and green onion … I recall hearing about it somewhere . ”
I can’t seem to remember even if I try — or rather, I don’t want to remember .
I wonder why?
“Speaking of which, I heard that meat will become more tender if it is marinated in ginger juice . ”
Carol added on with something that sounded like it came from a grandma’s bag of wisdom — but I won’t use that for reference . Haru would be a little disappointed if I did that .
She loved tough meat after all .
“Even if we don’t wish to soften it, ginger and spring onion might be a good combination to remove the stink from the boar meat . ”
Nanawat happily snorted after hearing the word meat . Even though I let it eat that much just now, it still wants to eat?
He’s really a glutton .
Just like —
“Ah! I remember!”
I remembered after thinking that Nanawat was just like Centaur .
Ah, so I heard about these villages at that time .
After that, I resolved myself to forget about the two of them so I really did forget all about it .
“There are idiots in that village . ”
