(Mariel) 「W-w-wha…..?」
It was clearly abnormal.
Hihiin, Buhihiiinn.
The mysterious girl was neighing alternately with the horses.
The reaction from the horses themselves explained the situation that it can only be seen as a mutual conversation.
Although the Viscounty members were dumbfounded about this, only the present head, Mariel was stiffened not because of her astonishment, but another emotion was lingering within her.
(Aah, if I could meet this girl a little earlier..! Then I might have been able to talk with Carlos before he died…)
Apparently Mariel was told that Carlos had died suddenly.
And Kaoru continues her conversation with the horses, regardless of Viscounty members’ concern.
(Kaoru) 『Ah, I come here as an animal doctor. I need to disguise like this for some reason, so do you guys have any injury or illness? I will cure all of it. And if there’s a request for the people here, I will convey it to them.』
(Horses) 『『『『『『Reallyyyyyyyy!?!』』』』』』
And after going Buhihin Buhihin for a while.
(Kaoru) 「This riding horse said, 『A nasty guy hurt my butt with an unnecessary whipping just for a distraction』. Did anyone lend him to a shitty guy who abuses horses?」
(Viscounty Members) 「「「Eh……?」」」
It cannot be someone else other than that uncle.
(Kaoru) 「And the other riding horse said, 『My right knee is not doing well because the man, who sold Carlos to get rid of him, was riding me rough』.」
(Mariel) 「Eh!?」
(Stableman & Butler) 「「Ah……」」
Mariel was surprised with the half portion of Kaoru’s last words while the butler and the elder stableman stiffened once again as it had already been decided to keep it as a secret but yet it was exposed to their young mistress just like that.
However, the bomb was not only that.
Assuming that the previous one was a 50 kg bomb, the next one turns out to be a nuclear bomb.
(Kaoru) 「And this carriage horse seems to be in emotional distress, you see… He said 『I hate to bring the culprit for master’s family assault. I don’t want him to ride alongside the deceived young miss』….」
(Viscounty Members) 「「「EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH!?!」」」
Shocked. Dumbfounded.
(Mariel) 「T-that is……, what do you mean about that……?」
(Kaoru) 「No, I don’t know anything about it. I just conveyed what the horses were saying. Next is about the place where it’s in bad shape, you see….」
The butler and the others were worried and supporting Mariel, who was trembling with a ghastly paled look but still won’t likely collapse, to their fullest extent.
(Kaoru) 「They are having difficulties in running as the wheel on the one side of the carriage is becoming strange and always turn to the left side, the thorns from this child’s saddle is coming out so please remove it, please put apples and corns in their food every time, and sometimes they want something sweet, is what they want to say.」
And the items that were pointed out by Kaoru are all confirmed to be true by the elder stableman.
A wound from what seems like a whip was found on the horse’s behind. The horse that are moving strangely as if he wants to cover his right foot since a few days ago. A hangnail that was found standing out from the saddle. The left wheel of a carriage that is found out to be not rotating smoothly….
Does that mean that the 『other part』 is also true?
Was that part also exactly what the horses have testified?
(Viscounty Members) 「「「……」」」
The silence that was no more than just a few seconds, felt so long. It was long, very long, as if it will last forever….
After that, The finally rebooted Mariel asked Kaoru to interpret her words for the carriage horses. Of course, what she want to hear is….
***************
(Kaoru) 「…is what they said.」
Kaoru finally finished all of the interpretation.
Before she began interpreting, an experiment was started in which her figure was completely blocked from the horses’ eyes with everyone’s body, turned to the back, and being watched as to not make any strange move or order the horses with complex movement. The experiment was conducted by letting her do nothing and interpreting for a number of times.
They also asked about the information of the horses themselves which can only be known only to the elder stableman.
The result was unquestionable.
And silence spread once again.
The existence of their enemy has now become clear.
……However, they couldn’t do anything.
Even if they appealed to this, they only have the proof of a stranger girl with the foundation being 『the horses had said so』. Hence, there won’t be any chance for them to be responded due to the fact that everyone could only hear 『Buhihin Buhihin』. In conclusion, it will all be according to what the suspicious girl will say.
Besides, even if the horses can testify in human language, it will be judged to be false testimonies because they might had been told by their master as they are 『horses that were kept by someone from the accusing side』 and the judgement will be over. As long as there’s no convincing proof for everyone, they couldn’t do anything.
And in this world, neither fingerprint verification nor hair DNA identification that were left on the spot can be done.
Even if it’s possible, the criminal still cannot be decided yet. That is because neither the general public nor those who conduct the trial understand what it is….
(Mariel) 「What should I do for this……」
Mariel’s words were not the one who is at a loss and don’t know what to do.
She had already decided what she would do, but the problem is, how to make it happen. Mariel’s words were not 『to do things』 but to seek 『methods to make it happen』.
That eyes.
And that face had said so.
(This girl is motivated…)
It was believed that she would marry her uncle without thinking about anything from this, but it seems to be not the case.
She might have unwillingly accepted that marriage due to her deceased parents’ will.
However, if that turned out to be a lie and her parents did not want any of that….
And if that man who tried to deceive her turns out to be her parents’ nephew….
(TL Note: It’s interesting because the kanji for the word “nephew” was 仇 that has a double meaning for “enemy”.)
Kaoru had also thought that she would back out if Mariel was weak and wavered. With potions, it’s possible for them to 『forget』 about the conversation so far.
Without knowing anything, she will marry her parents’ nephew and have a happy life. She won’t mind even if she has such a life as it can’t be helped for the fact that she doesn’t know anything.
If they paid enough money for Carlos, that old man would probably take care of him until the end….unless the old man dies first.
Well, Carlos is also quite old.
A horse with a short life span might be much more likely to go first.
However, this girl seems to be motivated. Without any wavering so far.
If so, Kaoru’s line had already been decided.
(Kaoru) 「The truth is, not only as an 『Animal Doctor』, I’m also working for another job.」
(Mariel) 「Eh……?」
It was clearly an out-of-place line that was uttered in this gloomy situation. In other words, there was an intention behind it.
Mariel gulped her saliva and was waiting for the continuation of Kaoru’s words.
And finally, the words was released from Kaoru’s mouth.
(Kaoru) 「Avenging the unforgivable evil and clearing the unforgettable grudge. That is us, the divine punishers!」
(Viscounty Members) 「「「……」」」
Although they were all taken aback, Mariel immediately recalled Kaoru’s previous words.
『The truth is, not only as an 『Animal Doctor』, I’m also working for another job.』
Work. If she said 『work』, then….
(Mariel) 「Please…, Please accept my-……no, our.., Reifell Viscounty’s request!」
Neither the butler nor the elder stableman was surprised at Mariel’s words and did not even try to stop her.
That was a given.
As much as to say that they were all in a calm state.
However, the flames of anger and hatred were already raging inside their eyes.
And Kaoru’s reply was of course,
(Kaoru) 「I refuse.」
(Viscounty Members) 「「「EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH!?!」」」
Unexpectedly, a rejection.
But that is not because of how the story flows.
Kaoru then continued her words when the three members were still stunned.
(Kaoru) 「I don’t make double contracts.」
(Mariel) 「Eh?」
Kaoru told her closing word to Mariel who didn’t understand the meaning of her words.
(Kaoru) 「Because we have already received the request from Carlos.」
Mariel opened her eyes widely and cried with a loud voice.
(Mariel) 「CARLOSSSSSSSSS! EVEN WHEN YOU DIED, FOR US, YOU’RE STILLLLLLL-!!」
(Stableman) 「Ohh, ohh, Carlos…」
(Butler) 「What a loyal horse……」
The stableman and the butler also broke down in tears alongside Mariel on the spot.
(Kaoru) 「Ah, no, Carlos is not-…, no one wants to hear me, huh…?」
(Mariel) 「W-w-wha…..?」
It was clearly abnormal.
Hihiin, Buhihiiinn.
