Anyway, I finally threw the last one over. The last one didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and it almost seemed to enjoy the flight. Although it asked me to let it face the front, so it can see the view clearly, that could be too dangerous, so I still pointed its feet in front, and then threw it over. So even if the guys couldn't catch it, it would only get its ass hurt.
While I was throwing these monsters over, the people around me were watching the scene nervously. They murmured: "Uh... There you go!" "Uh... Nice!" kind of things. Iruril held her own hands and watched, when an Urc arrived the other side safely, she would then relax a bit. The Urcs were also the same, after I threw theses guys over, until they caught their companions, they were all clamorous They are now even laughing happily. The one who looks like it's their chieftain(because it was the last one thrown over, so I guess so) went to the cliff and said:
"No matter what happened, I have to say thank you! Oink!"
"I'm very glad to be able to help."
"I will not chase after monsters like you anymore! Oink! We are Urc Fighters! We will not expect to, oink, keep receiving forgiveness from enemies!"
"Okay? Thank you. But how about the Orcs' request?"
"Those weak guys! Oink! Not request, they begged us! Oink! We will just refuse them!"
I shrugged. If it is a conservation between humans, people may feel very unhappy about the words. But if it's between Orcs, how do I know how they would think? I waved my hands and then turned around.
Iruril said to me:
"Seems that you simply ignore the meaning of this bridge. I hoped them to cooperate with other races to cross the bridge, so that they would be able to learn the meaning of cooperation and reconciliation. Although we came over after a battle, I believed if they could learn these things after that, that could still become a good thing."
"Is that so?"
Iruril doesn't look like that she's blaming me. She is just simply saying those words.
"But Huchi, in fact you are the one who exemplified the meaning of this bridge the most. The Urcs who were trying to kill us are now actually saying thank you to you. Now even if the creator of this bridge found that the bridge becomes useless, he would not be angry too."
"If that is the case, it would be great."
"You seem to become a friend of those Urcs."
This elf seems to be so stubborn on certain parts that people can't stand. Maybe I do look like someone who can become friends of all races, but I don't understand those things. I am just a future candle maker of Heltant Fief, the Knight Nedval of the Noble Lady Jamini.... What! How come I am admitting this thing? I'm dead! Axelhand came up to me with a very worried face.
"Didn't you worry that you could miss once?"
I smiled and nodded.
"Yes. And because I missed all, so they could all arrive safely!"
"Ha ha ha! Thanks to you, today I saw a rare scene. Thank you! Hope your journey will be blessed by Karis •Numen."
Karis •Numen... I managed to recall that Karl mentioned it's the deity of the dwarves. But what should I answer? I glanced Karl, and Karl finally helped me to make an appropriate answer.
"May You Grasp the Essence of the Sparks between the Anvil and the Hammer."
Axelhand looked at Karl with a surprised face, smiled and then picked up his luggage. He put on a great backpack, covered his blade with a holster, and then inserted it into the belt. I guess he can't walk easily in this way, but he seems to feel well. Then Iruril started looking at us. Time for her farewell? But then I found that Sanson is showing a "I have great courage now!" face.
Sanson, although with a bit hesitant, said in an upright manner (I don't know how he did it, it's too amazing):
"Where is Miss Iruril going next?"
"Is that necessary?"
Well, what a strange answer. Although it sounds like "Is it necessary to let you know where I am going", this could mean she was upset, but in fact she is just asking purely out of curiosity.
"Can we travel together?"
"Didn't I mention in the morning... I don't have a horse."
Sanson seemed to be waiting for these words for a long time, he answered:
"I can ride the same Huchi with horse!"
I instantly looked at Sanson with a confused face. What did he say? What did he want to do on me? Karl is also looking at Sanson with a smile. And Axelhand is beginning to laugh loudly. Sanson was confused for a while, and then changed his words:
"No, I mean, I can ride the same horse with Huchi..."
"Muhaha ha ha!"
I am almost rolling on the ground.
Iruril shook her head.
"No thanks. You are going to visit your king. You should be in a hurry, but I'm not. I don't want to cause you troubles."
Poor Sanson made a mistake again. So from Iruril said goodbye to Karl, until she silently disappeared in the woods, Sanson didn't say a word, he was just blushing while standing still. I find myself and Axelhand are patting each other's shoulders and laughing. Axelhand is almost losing his breath.
"He said, said, said what riding you with a horse...... Ha ha ha ha!"
"Do I have run with a horse on my shoulders? Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Axelhand separated with us, walked a few steps and stopped to laugh, walked a few steps and stopped to laugh again. Because we are riding, so we got ahead after seconds. The hearty laughter of Axelhand came behind from time to time.
Whenever the laughter came, Sanson would make a face that he wants to die.
I started talking with Karl. Sanson is still not recovered to the state that can listen to me.
"Karl! What do you feel about the Bridge of Dozen?"
"While it was built with good intention, I don't really like to force races to have reconciliation through such an inconvenient way."
"But in order to to make all races which are difficult to have peace to cooperate, you must create this kind of situation right? A person with this ability should be able to build a normal bridge easily. But he chose to build the bridge this way..."
"Right, Nedval. This way is a way that if you don't cooperate, you can't pass. That's the good intention. However on this bridge, the so-called cooperation has turned into a mean only. In my opinion, a real cooperation doesn't need any reason, it comes out naturally."
I repeated the words three times before I understood it.
"That is too idealistic."
"Is that?"
