After learning that the Players had returned to the Long-Ears' village at the Western Continent, both Rangka and Laybit clearly felt relieved.
Even so, they did not waste any time to continue on their journey home, with the Curly-Horns' Woolsprout in tow.
The Long-Ears were champions at marathons. Though their endurance were not as strong as that of humans' (Humans of this world were somewhat different from Earth humans, with stronger physical aspects), their top speed and acceleration were far above than that of humans or most other nonhumans. In other words, they were their own best horse and therefore needed no horse.
That was exactly why although Rangka thought that bringing the Curly-Horns' princess along back to their tribe lands was nothing but dead weight.
Still, he eventually decided that it was not the case.
