Knight Of Pensylon: Rise Of The Cavalier
Chapter 9 - Horse Females

"ROOKERS!!" my yelling.

I screamed not without reason. That shout was useful to me to warn my neighbors about robbers.

That will not only make them alert, but also increase their chances of helping me catch the two assholes.

"ROOKERS!!" yell again.

This time, while I was shouting, I ran towards Spirit who was eating the grass. With my left leg resting, I darted until my butt landed on the Spirit saddle.

"SPIRIT! CHASE THEM!" my orders to the horse.

I could realize that Spirit was a bit surprised because I was riding him all of a sudden. Then tell him to move, also suddenly. Therefore, he did not speed up as soon as possible.

"Hurry, Spirit! We have to go after them!" myrag.

Spirit raised both of his front legs and neighed like a knight's horse (at least that's what it says in my Grandfather's book) before finally darting after the two unlucky robbers.

Just watch out for you fucking robbers. After I catch you both, I'll finish you off for mercy!

...----------------...

The clement! The clement! The clement!

Such was the swiftness of the horse's footsteps that sounded in my ears during the chase.

My eyes remained fixed on the two robbers. When viewed from his posture, one of them was a man who might be older than me, and the other was a girl my age.

As time went on, the two got more and more overtaken. Countless times have I said this, but Spirit... You are great!

But I can't be happy just yet. I had to stop them both as soon as possible before Spirit was exhausted again, like when I was racing horses with Norman.

Hmm, come to think...

My horse races with Norman and Victoria all this time turned out to be useful as well.

Also true!

I can see that my romp with these two jerks who stole my family's stuff is like my horse racing against Norman and Victoria.

To put it simply, this was just like my usual horse races! The difference this time, I can't lose.

No, I won't lose!

Logically, I will not lose because I have the advantage over these two robbers in front of me.

First, Spirit is the fastest horse I have right now. So, as quickly as the two robbers tried to escape with Shadow and Wood, Spirit was definitely able to chase after him.

Second, the two robbers had an additional burden on their shoulders. Know it? The additional load equals reduced speed.

While they had an additional burden, Spirit's current burden was only my body and his body alone.

Lastly, from the looks of it, the two people were completely blind to this place. From their eye expressions alone it was obvious they were not Wheatvilleans.

Unlike them, I've memorized out of my head the Wheatville village plan.

So, wherever they went, I could easily cut off the road and reduce the distance between us.

Not forgetting that as I chased the two robbers, I shouted so that the people around could hear and help me chase the two robbers.

If it's like this, I can definitely catch them!

Wait, what?

The two robbers went into the forest. The forest is very dangerous, especially for people who are not natives here.

"The maneuvers and the way they controlled Shadow and Wood were completely shrewd. I seem to underestimate them too much. But, it seems that they also underestimated me too."

If they think this fourteen-year-old doesn't know anything about the forest they're headed to, they're wrong!

That's where I'm going to catch them.

...----------------...

The clement! The clement!

As I expected, I got closer to the two of them. This is all thanks to my knowledge of this forest, as well as the incredible speed of Spirit.

I have to admit, my horse races all this time turned out to be useful as well. If only I had raced more horses. I guess without even getting into this forest I can reach both of them.

Waita minute.

This spot...

Hehehe, they really don't know this place huh?

The two robbers rode towards my horse race track with Norman and Victoria. Stupid them.

"Hey, Spirit. This is our chance."

...----------------...

I didn't think for a second that they were actually riding on my horse track with my two friends. Hehehe, damn it for them. I could definitely catch up with them

Wait, why am I slowing down?

I looked at Spirit for a moment. It seems that the horse was getting tired from running. But, yesterday he was not this tired during the horse race - Ah yes.

Damn it, I forgot that Spirit had just lifted an item from Victoria's house to the end of the village. He should be tired so soon...

Surely he was tired, it could be this fast when tired alone is actually a miracle. Sorry, Spirit. But I have to force you to run for longer.

Sraakk!

The two people turned their heads after seeing the obstacle before him. The obstacle that made me smile wide.

That obstacle was the same obstacle where Norman performed his cheated trick during the race with me earlier.

Shall I call it, "Norman Street"?

That's why I said to Spirit.

"Let's do it one more time, Spirit."

Spirit understands what I mean. This black horse raced towards the Norman Road quickly. As long as it happened, I was standing on the saddle.

Yesterday it was a less high jump, wasn't it? All right, this time I have to jump higher.

"Dad!" my peek.

The tep!

It worked! I can walk to this tree.

Now, I just need to run and land on Spirit. Just like Norman did.

The tep!

The tep!

The tep!

"Now!" I screamed while jumping.

Now I'm floating in the sky. In a moment, I'll land slowly

"Oh no! Damnit damnit! SPIRIT!!!"

The tep! The tep! Bruk! Grusks...

I fell down, again. Even though I was able to step on the ground as I shot, I still fell.

Damn, I really didn't take into account that Spirit was faster than Snow. Damn you, Norman. You're so good at doing this trick.

Just wait, hmm. Right too.

No wonder Norman broke his hand. Back then, he was trying to do this trick while riding Spirit as well.

I looked towards the front, and I saw Spirit slowly stopping. The horse is exhausted.

"Spirit... Argha! Goddamnit..." I held my forehead which was still injured.

The wound on my forehead was still not fully healed, and my friction with the ground just made it open again.

I could feel that from my wound was flowing a liquid. Whatever the liquid is that's obvious it's not good.

I hope this wound isn't really a permanent one...

Cretek! Cretek! Cretek!

Not only that, on my left I could hear the footsteps of horses approaching me. Help must have arrived.

"Finally they came ju-" I said as I looked to the side.

When I looked there, there were only two people riding on horses, and both of them were robbers just now.

Ah, goddamn. I just realized one thing.

That's why I immediately tried to stand up, because I was the only one who could stop these two unlucky robbers.

"Argh! Goddamnit! My feet.." I said.

My legs hurt a lot, landing at the speed of a horse seems not to be a painless thing.

But yesterday Norman was even able to run towards me after he jumped off his horse.

Damn it, the more I think about it, the more I realize what a great Norman's really is.

Therefore, I could only sit in the hope that it would make the two robbers stop, but for what reason did they stop? Isn't it nice for them that I can't do anything anymore?

Cretek! Cretek!

Cretek!

Cretek!

The tech!

Wait, they actually stopped?

"Hey! Why are we stopping?! We have to stop" the girl jolted before the big one shut her mouth, and spoke.

"You okay?"

Whahuh? He asked me how I was? This man could have been arrested by this time, and he chose to stop and check if the pursuer was okay?

This guy must be crazy.

"Of course not, you fucking shit! You robbed my family, stole the two horses I had, forced me to chase you until I fell, made my feet hurt, he said,

HOW CAN I BE OKAY?!" my jolt with a tone of speech that grew higher with the words.

"Hey! Watch what you say! Were you not taught manners by your parents?!"  protest the girl.

"Why do I courtesy the people who have robbed my family?! I mean, do you think my family is rich?! A day of eating three times is classified as beru-" I reply.

"Sorry."

The man suddenly spoke, making me and the girl speechless. His words were very slow, but when he spoke, neither I nor the girl next to him could say anything.

"Sorry, we have no other choice. Once you know who we are, you'll understand." said the man.

Afterwards the man invites the woman next to him to resume their escape.

Surely, I didn't let them go carry all that stuff just like that. I have to stop them, or at least. Recaptured the things I could save...

"At least give me my horses back." I asked them.

Those who had originally wanted to go back looked at me with their own two eyes.

Oops, sorry, I think only one eye for the guy. His right eye was covered in the same way they covered their face.

"I'm sorry, I can't. It is precisely this horse that we need the most." said the man.

So from the very beginning their goal of robbing my family was to take these horses. It was only fitting that most of the items they took were horse care items.

"That's my grandfather's legacy, please give it back..."

I could not believe that I would one day beg this robber to return my horse.

Hey, just be fair. The horses were not ordinary horses, they were my grandfather's legacy.

I just lost one of my grandfather's belongings yesterday the day after (my book), I don't want to lose any more stuff.

"Hey! My brother told me we wouldn't"

So my guess is right, these two guys are brothers. I thought they were just lovers involved in monkey love.

But forget about it, why do these two brothers have to steal? Is it because they are orphans?

"Pst! Let's just listen to his request..."

'But, Brother..."

The brother came down from Shadow. Then he asked the little brother to come down from Wood.

"After all, we only need one horse, right? Now come down..."

The sister seems to have a lot of respect for her brother. Because even though her brother's request was a bit strange, she still obeyed him like a dog.

The girl got off Wood.

"alright, son. Which horse do you want back?" the sister asked.

"Both." I replied.

I could see that my sister was really angry with me. His hands clenched as if ready to hit me.

"Sorry, you can only choose one." the brother warned me.

"I don't like to choose. I never wanted to choose anything." I said.

The girl could no longer hold back her anger.

"Don't mess around, you son of a bitch! We don't have much wak-"

"Well if that's what you want." cut off her brother.

The younger brother suddenly fell silent like a lion, silent but deadly. I know that even though the girl was silent, she was actually holding back the anger.

To be honest, I'm not afraid of him. However, looking at my current condition that does not allow fighting, I think it would be better if I was a bit wary.

The older brother stuck his thumb to his chin and furrowed his eyebrows and forehead.

"What horse did you drive just now, what kind of horse is he?" tanyakanya.

A spirit? As I recall in my grandfather's book I wrote something about Spirit I. Damn, I totally forgot.

But as I recall, my grandfather once said that the origin of Spirit I was not from Pensylon, but from other regions.

"I don't know, which is definitely not from here. I think it's of the Thorough-type" I said.

"No, not that kind." she replied.

Whahuh? Whatdoes thatmean?

"I mean, is your horse male or female?" the man asked.

Ah, so yeah. Hm... Ah, they really don't know anything about horses huh? Hehe...

"Why are you smiling?" my sister suspects me.

Is that clear? I think I should learn to control my facial features.

"Body." I replied.

"Former man." said the brother.

Wait a minute, lest they want to take Spirit?! I won't let it!

"Don't you dare take the Spirit" I said.

"So his name is Spirit... Honestly, at first we wanted to take it because he was fast and also agile.

But since it seems that he is exhausted now and we must leave immediately, we will only take one of these two horses.

We will return the female horse and take the male one. My question...

Which one is the female between these two horses?"

They're these...

"Pffts... Hehehe.." I started laughing.

"Reply answer us! We don't have much time!"

Hehe... They really know nothing about horses huh?!

"Hahahahahahahahah!" my laughter is getting louder.

Damn, I really can't help my laughter.

"Hey, why are you laughing?!" the sister asked angrily.

I immediately pointed towards them and exclaimed with a triumphant smile.

"SHADOW AND WOOD ARE BOTH FEMALE HORSES KNOW! YOU FOOLS! HAHAHAHA! NOW YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO RETURN THE TWO"

BUGS!

Unfortunately, my laughter did not last long. I watched as a slender leg darted rapidly towards my head, and afterwards I could not remember anything as everything was suddenly black.
