Colours Of His World (1)
Chizuru recalled this vague dream-like memory occasionally.
The figure of the young man, Lukrov, who protected her when she first fell into this world.
She used to be so stubborn.
As Chizuru was having trouble riding a horse, Lukrov remarked sarcastically, “How did you survive for this long without riding a horse?”
Chizuru used to cause trouble here and there due to her unfamiliarity with this new world and all the new experiences she was facing.
Seeing her deal with all of that gave Lukrov constant headaches, and he developed a habit of scolding her whenever she messed up. However, he always helped her in the end.
“Fix your position. You can’t ride a horse that way. Bring your hip closer to the saddle …. “
Lukrov popped up from behind and placed his hands around her hips in an attempt to fix her position on the horse, but once she felt his touch, a small voice escaped instantly before her brain registered what he was doing.
“Kyaaa!”
“Ah, Then…”
He interrupted her roughly saying
“Just answer this question, were there no horses in your world?”
Chizuru felt like crying because he looked so devilishly handsome, yet terrifying at the same time, which made her tremble.
Until a few weeks ago, she was a normal woman who lived in Japan.
Even though they spoke the same language, everything was different. It was the first time Chizuru had let a foreigner so close to her, let alone the fact that he was a very beautiful man, wearing silver chain mail and carrying two long swords on his back that looked twice as wide as Japanese swords.
Ah, and the fact that he had a dagger around his waist instead of a smartphone.
Truly…
“It’s not that we didn’t have it, but no one used it for transportation, maybe some people did, but in my country, no one rode it unless it was a hobby. Instead, we had other methods for transportation: trains, cars, bu–”
“Trains?”
He interrupted with a serious face, questioning her.
His eyes narrowed as if he was asking for an explanation, but how was she supposed to do that?
She was now in a world where they didn’t even have proper bicycles, let alone horse-drawn carriages! And now she was supposed to explain what a train was…
Just where should she start? With electricity?
But she had to answer him anyway so for the time being…
“It’s like an iron box, if you pay a fare, you can ride it to reach your destination.”
That was the simplest explanation she could think of.
Lukrov nodded as if he was convinced and spoke, “Is it magic then?”
“Well…”
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have no such advanced magic in this world, so you’ll have to learn how to ride a horse.”
“That … I see “
This was the moment when I feared that I might not be able to get along with this person forever.
No, maybe it was the moment when she began to think that she wanted to spend eternity with this person.
Lukrov squeezed the reins of the horse with a practised hand and rode behind Chizuru.
She trembled when she sensed his sturdy body behind her.
She still remembered how he whispered gently to her ears.
“Well… I’ll give you a ride until then.”
It was at this moment that she woke up feeling a sharp pain between her eyes.
