บท 268: Waveless River

When Takuma's demon became a little bigger than luggage, the young tamer from Grimbrook spurred his horse. "Let's go, Yoichi. We've got a long way to go," he spoke. From his tone of voice, he seemed more enthusiastic than his new fellow traveler. 

Behind the two adventurers, Gompachi and other people from the village gathered under the statue. Each of them, in his own way, greeted the two tamers, wishing them good luck. 

In Grimbrook, Yoichi had unexpectedly found good food, lots of information to find the blacksmith Shusaku, and, to top it all off, a new traveling companion. 

The two young men rode over the wooden bridge at the main entrance and followed the outer wooden walls until they pointed their horses north. When that happened, Takuma further spurred his steed, causing it to quicken its pace.
