Kouya Hijiri: CHAPTER 18

I heard the neigh of a horse from the stable, and the old man lead the horse out to the gate. "I'm going now, Miss. Be nice to the priest."

She was already in the house, cooking dinner at the fire. "Thank you." She said and bowed to him.

"No need to thank me." He pulled on the reins of the horse. "Come on." The horse was a strong male, bareback. I looked at this horse as I stood on the veranda, and asked the old man "Where are you taking him?" I wasn't really interested in the horse, I was just making conversation.
