The Story of Demon Hunter

203

A few days just pass by.

In these few days, Satoru was doing daily tasks as usual. He got up early, cleaned the stables, fed the horses, and did more activity than usual. After all, the friends at the same club are now back at their respective homes during Golden Week.

However, Satoru still gets quite a lot of free time because there are no lesson hours. So, apart from taking care of the horses and the pigs, he was completely relaxed. Even feel quite confused about what to do.

In the end, Satoru used his time to visit other clubs, study 1st grade textbooks, and meditate at night. After all, he did not carry any electronic equipment.

Today, Satoru plans to go with Natsumi.

Walking towards the school gate, the young man could not help but feel nervous. Although it had always been ‘prince’ in the previous school, the young man had never dated at all. He shunned the girls and rejected them knowing what the girls were thinking.

As for now, Satoru was nervous about unknowingly going through his first date.

‘In Hokkaido that is still a bit cold even in spring, my appearance is not excessive, right?’

The young man then looked towards his clothes. Black trousers, black long sleeve turtle-neck shirts, white shoes, watches, and silver necklaces. Satoru had already tried a style that he considered minimalist, but was a bit afraid of being considered excessive.

Arriving at the location, Satoru saw the figure of Natsumi. The girl wore dark blue levis pants, a red-black plaid shirt with the top buttons opened and the long sleeves folded, featuring a black t-shirt inside. His long hair was also tied to a ponytail, looking somewhat tomboyish but also accentuating his outstanding figure.

Just then, Satoru and Natsumi looked at each other with astonished expressions on their faces.

A while later, the conscious Satoru first scratched the back of his head while asking, “Did I make you wait a long time?”

Natsumi instantly regained consciousness from her daydream. Having a slight red hue that was not so noticeable on her brown skin, the girl put on a cheerful smile as usual.

“You should have arrived earlier, Kouhai-kun! It's not too late, but you came too on time. It makes others wait too long!”

Hearing that, Satoru felt somewhat confused. The young man quietly asked in his heart.

‘Isn't it because you can't manage the time? Did everything too soon or too late?’

Natsumi looked at the disapproving expression on Satoru's face with a sullen face. He felt somewhat angry that the young man before him was really too straight, having absolutely no other thoughts. However, the girl also felt rather happy because Satoru was different from the youths who usually only liked to look at the face and had bad thoughts.

It was just that, Satoru was really so insensitive in certain matters and it made him feel frustrated!

Looking at the pouting Natsumi, Satoru really felt confused because he did not feel like he had done anything wrong. The young man felt that the woman was truly a very complicated creature.

He then watched Natsumi from top to bottom. While scratching his cheek, the young man said, “That suits you.”

Duk!

“Aduh!”

Seeing Natsumi who suddenly kicked his shin, the young man was completely dumbfounded. Before protesting, Satoru saw the girl glaring at him with a red face.

“Stop talking about something embarrassing!”

Satoru really did not know what made the girl angry. Seeing Natsumi walking towards the highway in the distance first, he could only follow with a wry smile on his face.

***

About ten in the same day.

Satoru who was looking at the scene in front of him felt somewhat confused.

Although Satoru did not take a riding course when he was still in Tokyo, the young man still understood a little. In the city, there is actually such a sport, only he does not like it because it seems less free.

According to his knowledge, horse racing was just horse racing and he didn't really like watching it.

“If you want to know, there are three types of horse racing.” Natsumi said with a proud tone. “The horse racing is called flat racing, jump racing, and lastly as we visit now ... Tyres’ei kyoso.”

“Ban’ei kyoso?” satoru asked with a puzzled expression.

“As the name suggests, Ban’ei kyoso is a form of horse racing in which a towing horse will pull a heavy sled over a sand ramps, driven by a jockey balancing the sled. If it is difficult to imagine it, then it is better to see it directly.

By the way ... hey! You also came here, Miyuki!”

Natsumi suddenly waved her hand. As Satoru turned his head, he saw Miyuki, a member of the 1st class equestrian club just like him. However, something surprised him.

Other than Miyuki, there were also other people and she was no stranger at all. That person was a dormitory friend with him ... Ono.

Just like his roommate, it seems that Ono was also surprised when he saw Satoru and Natsumi.

‘Why is he here? By the way, it's only fitting that he disappeared so early this morning.’

Recalling how nervous and hasty-looking Ono was, Satoru shook his head. He really did not expect, it turned out that his friend had gained such significant progress. Suddenly dating a 1st grader who is considered beautiful by their peers!

“Because you two are also here, how about watching the race together?”

Natsumi immediately spoke kindly while greeting Miyuki and Ono. Having no reason to refuse, the two of them nodded in agreement. That way, the four of them went to buy tickets.

It was just that, when they bought the tickets, once again something unexpected happened.

“It turns out it really is your Uncle!”

Hearing Natsumi's cry, the figure who was waiting in line in the lobby suddenly turned his head. Seeing that person, Satoru, Ono, and Miyuki looked surprised.

Obviously, that person is Mr. Sengoku. But what shocked them was not his presence, but the reason why the person had come.

In horse racing .. of course there is gambling!

“Did you not hear Grandma's words! Your bad habit of gambling is really to be rid of! You rotten uncle, I could have met you here!”

Sensing the gazes of the people around, Mr. Sengoku immediately shot towards Natsumi who walked towards him and then closed the girl's mouth. Having a thoughtful expression on his face, the man began to explain.

“This is not at all what you think. I'm here not only to gamble, but as a real horse lover as well as a teacher of horse riding clubs, of course I have to know everything about horse riding.

For example, how to care for a good horse, raise a horse, distinguish the characteristics of a quality horse, of course the most important! Because now there is no war like before, so only this kind of race remains.

I have to get into this kind of race! It means following everything that is concerned with it.

Of course, that includes gambling!”

Hearing how Mr. Sengoku who spewed nonsense with a straight and true expression, Satoru and his friends were instantly at a loss for words. They did not expect at all ...

It turned out that there was such a shameless person!
