The Story of Demon Hunter
187
After walking for quite a while, Satoru and Ono arrived at the riding club.
“Atur breath. You look pretty fucked up. Don't make too bad an impression.”
Hearing Satoru's words, Ono took a deep breath. The young man nodded with a stern expression, seemingly indeed not wanting to look bad in front of the seniors, especially Natsumi.
There, Satoru and Ono see five other people wearing uniforms similar to theirs. It seems that they are new members who also signed up to the equestrian club. But they both did not know the five.
Three men and two women.
“You guys came a bit slow, line up soon!”
Seeing Mr. Sengoku glaring with dissatisfied expressions, Satoru and Ono glanced at each other with wry smiles on their faces. It seemed that the middle-aged man held a grudge against them due to the previous incident.
‘If you have to be angry, you should be angry with your nephew.’
Satoru complained inwardly. But he also knew that it was one of those human traits that was hard to change. Not wanting to be blamed and likes to vent anger and mistakes to others.
“Good!” answer them both in unison.
Satoru and Ono then marched with the five first-rate disciples like them. Standing still on the spot while listening to the explanation from Mr. Sengoku.
“First of all, I congratulate you for joining the riding club. I'm not going to give you a gift or anything like that because that kind of thing isn't necessary.
As long as you're in this club, I want you to do it in totality. I don't want you to just learn to ride horses, but understand the basics. Whether it's caring for, looking after, and making friends with horses.”
“...”
A few question marks appeared above Satoru's head. He seemed to have little understanding of what Mr. Satoru meant.
‘Care, look after, and make friends? Didn't I come to learn riding? What the fuck?’
Satoru was confused. However, Mr. Sengoku's next remark really made him even more astonished.
“As the beginning of everything, as a member of the equestrian club, from tomorrow you should wake up at 4 am and come to the stables at 4.30 am. Clean cages, feed and care for them like your own family!”
While Satoru and the five others were stunned with an expression of disbelief, Ono almost fell to his knees to the ground.
Ono thought that the nightmare of having to wake up early and work hard was over, but now he had to wake up earlier than before!
“After getting acquainted with each other, your job today is to clean the horse manure and move it to the collection place!”
Hearing that, the shock disciple was completely dumbfounded. Absolutely do not expect that they are immediately told to do menial work without basic guidance on horse riding.
Even work as a dirt shovel officer!
***
Around five in the afternoon, the club's activities were finally completed.
From start to finish, let alone riding, Satoru and the six other new members did not even approach the horse.
They're just in charge of removing dirt and cleaning the cage. It made the seven people feel somewhat depressed. Especially Ono who seemed to be able to collapse at any time.
“Gosh. Not only do we not ride horses, we even become dirt shoveling officers.”
Walking towards the dormitory, Satoru let out a long sigh with a depressed expression on his face. It seems to feel rather sorry to have joined the equestrian club.
Just then, Satoru and Ono heard a noise in the distance. Looking at the source, Satoru could not help but mutter with a dull expression.
“What else now?”
Just then, some third graders ran towards them while shouting, “Class 1 child! Some chickens from the cage escaped, help us catch him!”
Hearing that, Satoru and Ono looked at each other then nodded. They followed the seniors to catch the chicken.
Less than an hour later when the sun was about to set, the escaped chickens were finally caught.
“Thank you for your help! Whose name are you and from what hostel number?”
“My name is Ono from dorm 303.”
“Good! Satoru and Ono from dormitory 303. After the chicken is finished smoking, I will send it to you guys.”
The handsome 3rd class senior smiled amiably as he swung the knife in his hand. He slaughtered the chicken he had just caught.
Seeing how the blood splashed, Ono suddenly felt dizzy. He had never seen such a sight of ‘bloody’, so it felt too overwhelming for him.
Instead, Satoru looked at the few seniors who had started slaughtering chickens with somewhat confused expressions.
“If you guys have other tools, maybe I can help? I mean .. It's late and the work seems to be pretty much.”
Hearing that, the previous handsome senior was shocked. He asked doubtfully. “Do you know how to slaughter chicken?”
“I had time to learn it before.”
“Then we will thank you for helping.”
Hearing that, Satoru shrugged as he said, “In exchange, please take care of my dinner.”
“Hahaha! So straightforward, but I love it!”
That way, Satoru ended up helping the seniors slaughter the chickens, pluck out the feathers, and cut them.
The people Satoru helped turned out to be from a non-addictive foodstuff research club. A club formed to research how to preserve food without chemical preservatives that are harmful to the body. A club with good intentions that made Satoru quite salute with them.
“I really didn't expect that you had such an amazing skill, Satoru-kun. How about joining our club?”
Finishing their work, the seniors looked towards Satoru with astonished and extremely friendly expressions. It made the young man feel a bit uncomfortable because those people were rather horrible.
“Thank you for the offer, Shigeo-senpai. But I've joined the riding club and want to study, so I'll turn down your offer.”
“Then you can come back. Take it easy, I'll give you both parts!”
Looking at Shigeo and his comrades, Satoru nodded lightly. He walked away with Ono while waving his hand.
“Then see you.”
After saying goodbye, Satoru and Ono left. Back to the dorm without hurry.
***
Next morning.
Finished cleaning the stables, changing the straw mats, removing dirt, and feeding the horses, Satoru and Ono went to take a bath and had breakfast with Takeo and Manabu.
“Are you okay, Ono? You look pale, like it will collapse anytime.”
Hearing Takeo's words, Ono immediately complained.
“It would feel strange if I was fine after studying, working all day, then helping to take care of the chicken and finally taking a bath too late!”
By the time Ono's words were finished, they all immediately turned their eyes to Satoru who was eating breakfast quietly. It seems that what happened yesterday did not affect him at all.
‘This beast ..’
The three roommates could not help but complain inwardly. Although Satoru is not familiar with the work of the breeders and the habits of the local people, but his very strong physique makes him look resilient.
If you think about it well, it feels kind of awful. Doesn't seem like a normal teenager.
“What?” satoru asked while raising his eyebrows.
Hearing that, his three roommates immediately shook their heads simultaneously. There was absolutely no daring to say that feeling that Satoru was abnormal in some aspect!
After breakfast, Satoru and his three friends were about to return to the dormitory to prepare. However, just then the figure of the two-robed beautiful girl blocked their path.
The girl pointed towards Satoru then said in a somewhat irritated tone.
“You ... follow me now!”
