The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 195
Second Vacation (2)
All kinds of scenes unfold at the Horse Market.
“Hey now, this won’t do. How can you buy such a stallion with this money? Absolutely not.”
“Come on, give us a discount. Its eyes are all cloudy and those hooves look like they haven’t seen a farrier in over 10 years!”
“Hey, you think I don’t know your tricks to get a lower price?”
A showdown between those trying to buy cheap and those trying to sell expensive.
“Come on, let’s move along. Let’s move along.”
“My goodness, what is all this? Where did all these stallions come from…?”
“Don’t you know that guy? He’s famous. He comes to the Horse Market exactly once a year and displays all his stallions.”
A wealthy Horse Dealer who travels around with horses of incredible breeds.
And-
“What kind of scene is that…?”
“I’ve never seen someone like that before…”
“What in the world…?”
Even a scene that probably everyone here was seeing for the first time.
It was the sight of Ziel taming one damn unruly horse.
Just moments ago.
“Neighhh!”
“Whoa!”
Ziel, who instantly moved behind the horse, drew gasps from the people.
Surely a horrific scene where he’d be struck by the hind legs and have every bone in his body shattered!
But Ziel blocked it.
“Neighhh?”
That tremendously powerful kick from the hind legs.
With his bare hands, no less.
“Hmm.”
He even tilted his head with a perfectly calm expression after blocking it.
“So this is the level of strength. It would be nice if I could compare it with other horses.”
A Horse Dealer muttered in disbelief at that murmur.
“Who compares something like that in such a way…?”
A horse’s kick is truly tremendously powerful.
Even an old horse can easily send a person to their grave.
Stories of people dying from being kicked by a horse’s hind legs are nothing particularly special.
But he blocked it with his bare hands.
‘Boss had it all planned out.’
Gilbert was impressed.
He hadn’t expected the plan to involve blocking it with sheer strength, but anyway.
Actually, Ziel had a different reason for drawing upon the Breath of Extreme Night.
It was to assess the horse’s condition.
‘It’s agitated. Seems to have a lot of emotional dissatisfaction.’
Breathing.
Heartbeat.
And other externally observable factors.
From those alone, he could infer the general emotional state.
“Neighhh…”
The creature was confused.
All the humans it had met so far couldn’t handle its strength.
But this human was a bit different.
“Continue.”
“Neighhh!”
Thwack!
He blocked it again.
With just one hand, too.
Then when it charged-
Crash! Bang!
He simply dodged.
He even managed to mount its back without anyone noticing!
It was angry.
Very angry.
Of all places, on its back!
Every creature that had mounted its back until now had been thrown off.
This one would probably be the same.
“What am I even watching…?”
“Won’t he really die doing that?”
“He’s maintaining his balance remarkably well.”
But contrary to expectations, Ziel was riding so well that the surrounding people were impressed.
That’s our boss!
Gilbert cheered at Giel’s stunt.
No matter how frantically it thrashed around, went berserk, and tried to shake her off, Jiel held on tight.
And it wasn’t clinging desperately with all its might, but looked completely peaceful.
Instead, they grip the reins tightly, control the horse, and even overpower its strength!
Who is that guy?
“How would I know? He is handsome though. Isn’t he some nobleman’s son?”
“What you’re doing… it’s like you’ve been a trainer for 20 years or something…”
“That guy is someone even a 30-year veteran gave up on.”
Now exclamations of admiration burst out from all directions.
A showdown between horse and human!
But now it was a match where humans dominated completely.
From the horse’s perspective, it’s a decisive battle, but for GL, it’s nothing particularly difficult.
Mm.
In the midst of all that chaos, Jiel discovered one fact.
The flow on this side isn’t smooth.
It was toward the neck.
The flow of mana was unusually disrupted.
Something that looks completely blocked or stuck.
Even as the horse reared and bucked, Jiel held tight to the reins and searched through its mane until she finally found the wound.
It was a fairly old wound.
It had gotten so bad that pus had accumulated, likely because it wasn’t treated properly.
It had been hidden behind the mane, so nothing could be seen.
Given this type of wound in this location, it’s clearly an intentional injury inflicted by someone.
What are you doing?
“It looks like it’s looking towards the mane…”
The horse was still causing a commotion.
Running this way and that, and even trying to charge straight ahead.
Each time, Giel pulled the reins hard to maintain control while taking out tools from the auxiliary bag behind her waist and began treating the wounds.
Very peacefully and calmly.
“Boss, don’t tell me…”
The horse kept bucking so wildly that it was impossible to tell what Ziel was doing, but Gilbert could immediately figure it out.
Are you getting treatment?
“Treatment?”
The stable owner who had just received the horse asked in shock.
“You’re saying they’re treating someone up there right now? Why?”
“I wouldn’t know. But those tools are medical equipment…”
The healing tool that was always brought out whenever students got injured during training.
Disinfectant.
Scissors.
And even a cure.
While horses and humans have different body structures and certainly different treatment methods, the approach for simple injuries was quite similar.
The problem is that the treatment is being done on a bucking horse.
“Puhihihing!”
After spraying disinfectant and bursting the pus with scissors, he thrashed around even more from the momentary pain.
“Puhihing?”
I was gradually calming down from the refreshing yet sharp sensation.
There, Giel even tapped around the neck area with magic to smooth the flow.
This feeling of gradually losing strength while my body becomes more comfortable!
“Huh?”
“That guy seems to be getting more well-behaved, doesn’t he?”
And amazingly, the horse gradually becomes calm!
Wound treatment.
GL’s power that doesn’t give way at all.
And the phenomenon of the whole body becoming comfortable as circulation improves.
Three things are perfectly aligning and creating an amazing phenomenon!
And when Giel finally dismounted from the horse again, the creature was still excited but no longer bucking wildly.
Stop acting up.
“Hehehe, hehe.”
“If it keeps acting up even after treatment, I’ll assume it has a bad personality and feed it mint chocolate.”
“Huh…?”
Gasp!
Whatever it was, it seemed like it would be very scary.
The wound will heal soon.
The guy nodded as if he was relieved to hear that!
“That guy really… he’s gotten so well-behaved, hasn’t he?”
“This is impossible… How can this be happening?”
“No trainer has ever been able to solve this…”
Having already been abandoned multiple times, his trust in humans had diminished, and those wounds were even inflicted deliberately by someone.
Access itself had been impossible until now.
But Ziel had done it.
With strength and concentration.
‘As expected of Boss!’
Not only did he get the horse for free, but it was a horse good enough to rival the finest breeds!
Its damn temperament was nothing in front of Boss, so it was practically like gaining hundreds of thousands of cel!
Glancing at the horse dealer beside him, his expression looked complicated.
Inside, he was probably dying of regret.
Not only had he given away for free a horse that would have brought enormous profit if it had just been obedient, but he’d even handed over 300 cel.
Just then, Gilbert made a fuss as Ziel returned.
“Boss! Amazing! How did you suppress it like that?”
“I treated its wounds.”
“I knew it! I was right about what I saw.”
“It had a wound on its neck. Someone had deliberately inflicted it.”
“Ah, so that’s why it was so temperamental…”
“Its temperament was probably bad originally too. But it became more docile after I treated the wound.”
I understood immediately.
It was already in pain and stressed from the wound, but humans kept trying to control it, so of course it was furious.
‘I’d be the same way.’
“Boss, you healed that creature’s heart!”
“I cut the wound with scissors, drained the pus, then disinfected it.”
“That’s healing its heart!”
“Is that so.”
Ziel asked the horse dealer.
“Did you know about the wound on that horse’s neck?”
“I, I didn’t know… there was a wound…”
“I’ve disinfected the wound for now. Where can I buy medicine to treat horse wounds?”
“Uh… I’ll give you one.”
“Yes, thank you.”
The horse dealer clicked his tongue regretfully, but he couldn’t argue now.
Not only because it was his own decision…
‘How could I argue with someone like that.’
Because he’d seen Ziel mount the horse and control it without any wavering!
As a horse dealer who had met countless customers, he knew very well that even decent knights couldn’t do what Ziel had done.
To mount a horse, maintain balance like that, and suppress it with strength using the reins?
‘I’d be in big trouble if I crossed him.’
He must definitely be a knight from some incredible knight order.
It was regrettable to give away such a prize, but it couldn’t be helped.
If not for that man, today would probably have become the day to put down the horse.
‘But I’ve never heard of such a handsome knight…’
The reason he hadn’t heard was simple.
Because Ziel wasn’t a knight but a teacher.
Anyway, having secured even the medicine, Ziel approached the horse again, when the horse dealer hesitantly approached from behind.
“I brought a horse care specialist. I thought it would be good to treat the infected wound properly…”
“Understood.”
“But could you possibly calm it down? It seems like even if it won’t listen to others, it listens to you, the buyer.”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
Ziel whispered in the creature’s ear.
“Stay calm from now on. Otherwise, I’ll feed you mint chocolate like I said.”
Flinch!
An instinctive tremor!
Though it couldn’t understand human words exactly, this feeling that something terrible would happen if it didn’t stay calm!
“It’s ready now.”
“R-really?”
“If it causes trouble, I’ll suppress it. By feeding it mint chocolate.”
“…?”
He didn’t understand what that meant, but anyway the wound treatment proceeded well.
The specialist trembled whenever the creature moved, but fortunately there was no dropping things or causing a scene.
“Phew, I’ve sewn up the wound well and cleaned up the infected parts properly. Just apply the medicine well while traveling. I’ve trimmed the mane around the wound area for treatment, so wrap this cloth over it when sleeping.”
“Yes, thank you.”
The horse dealer had a bittersweet expression.
Regrettable and disappointing, but what could he do.
“Still, I’m glad it found an owner.”
Money was important, but from a horse dealer’s perspective, killing a horse was also something he couldn’t do.
“Farewell, you bastard.”
“Neighing!”
“Hey damn it, still giving me attitude!”
The horse dealer sighed deeply at the creature’s defiant behavior to the end, then walked away.
“I’ve finished renting too, Boss.”
“We can depart then.”
The luggage was loaded too, so preparations were complete.
“Name? I haven’t heard one.”
“Then give him one.”
“Why should I?”
“Well, you need to bond with him. If you give him a name and such, you’ll become close.”
“I have no intention of becoming close.”
“Come on, you even healed him but you’re saying no again. Still, think of one while you’re at it. A fitting name.”
“Hmm. A name.”
“Hmm. A name.”
He had rarely named anything before.
If anything, there was his own name ‘Ziel.’
Having never raised an animal, he still couldn’t understand why he needed to bond with it…
Since I had never raised an animal before, I couldn’t yet understand why I needed to bond with one, but….
I should give it a fitting name.
Just like you couldn’t name stones ‘Jelly.’
Just like you can’t give a stone the name “jelly.”
It’s a fitting name.
“If it’s really difficult, you can just make up something based on what comes to mind when you look at it. For example, Black Wind or something like that…”
That very black thing he had eaten at the Imperial Palace not long ago.
That very black thing I ate at the imperial palace just a little while ago.
“Pardon?”
“It resembles the black potato I ate at the imperial banquet.”
“…Where are you going with this?”
“Look.”
Look.
GI pointed to the mane.
“…Then why drop the ‘black’ and just call it Potato?”
“The name is Potato. If you add Black, that’s the full name.”
“…I see.”
“But normally I’ll call it Potato.”
“But I’ll usually just call you Potato.”
If that’s the case, why not just call it Crow.
If that’s the case, why don’t you just name it Crow?
“Where exactly does it…”
“It just looks that way to me.”
It just looks that way.
To Gilbert, it seemed like she was just being stubborn no matter how he looked at it.
“What is it?”
What is it?
Are we finally getting a plausible reason?
“…Is this one delicious too?”
“No. I named it after something I like because it’s delicious. Isn’t that meaningful?”
“No. I named it after something I like because it tastes good. Doesn’t that have meaning?”
Gilbert gave up arguing further.
“Good. From now on, I’ll call you Potato. Potato, let’s depart.”
“Puhihing.”
“Hehe.”
It seemed like only the boss would be the type of person to give someone the nickname “Potato.”
No matter how I look at it, Heukpung is better.
Anyway, we were finally setting off on our trip to the West.
