... Exactly what am I supposed to do with this? Does anyone here know about horse care?

... I didn't think about that. Maybe he does know us.

[That's a weird thought, but you have to trust Jirou to point out things like that.]

I'm going to take him to the City stables first. he needs food and a place to sleep.

[sakeplz]

Are you ready to get some yummy food, Iwaiichigou?

[Then he paused and gasps.]

Oh! What if he doesn't understand when we speak English?

[After all, Jirou knows he regained the ability to speak Japanese and he's a Japanese sword. Maybe the horse only knows Japanese!]

[toobigtohandle]

.... It's a horse, Jirou. I don't think they understand human speech.

[But again, only Jirou would go and say something like that.]

Are you coming with me to the stables?

[sakeplz]

I'm not sure being a horse matters! Because animals learn to obey commands, right? And sometimes those involve language!

[Logic!]

Yes! I want to spend time with you two!

[toobigtohandle]

... True. I guess I don't know enough about horses to know.

Jirou's logic is sometimes... too logic.]

Let's go, then.

[And Kenta will not think anything is strange about walking downtown with a horse on a lead, even though they are clearly attracting stares.

Once at the stables, it's relatively easy to start renting a space for Iwaiichigou and inquire about lessons for both horse riding and care. And once Iwaiichigou is settled...]

Alright. Now I just need to find a space so I can build my own. I can even rent out the extra space myself, and hire people to give lessons.

[sakeplz]

Daddy can probably give you some of his land. It might be faster that way.

[And he already knows Kenta doesn't have to do the extra work to convince him. Jirou's father adores Kenta, after all.]

[toobigtohandle]

We can ask, but if we do this I'm doing it properly and buying it.

[Because he has a plan now. A business plan. And he wants to do it under his own power.]

It would be the first thing I build on my own.

[sakeplz]

Well you can just tell daddy that. He'll be happy to sell to you so you can make it entirely your own.

[He wraps his arms around one of Kenta's.]

I'm so proud of you.

[toobigtohandle]

[Kenta blinks at Jirou. It's always good when Jirou says he's proud of him, but he's unsure of what he's done to deserve this.]

I haven't even started.

[sakeplz]

So? You're going to do it!

[toobigtohandle]

And you're proud of me before I start?

[That's Jirou for you. Well, for Kenta, mostly.]

[sakeplz]

Well I'm always proud of you so I guess the answer is just yes.
