Chapter Five

            "Ayaka! Just do what I say. I don't anyone bother me, ok." "Yes, senpai I will be going." There are many problems right now, and now his adding some problems to me. What is he thinking about? That guy!

 

(Alexis' POV)

           

            "Why do I have to do this!?" "Will you shut up!? You're frightening the horses!" "Then, why are you shouting back at me, you jerk!?" The two, Ayaka and Yuji are shouting again infront of the stable where we are now. "Will the two of you shut it! He have to start now." With a little of that the two suddenly stop and avert their eyes in different directions.

            "Now, before we start the training we have to groom the horses. But before that we should wear the proper attire." I handed them their respected attire. They hesitant to receive but later on they just give up. Then, after a few minutes, we are finish. "Alexis-chan it's superb! It's so cute! I can feel I am a real equestrian!" Ayaka shouted excitedly. "I don't get this Jiro, why do we have to wear this?" Yuji asked Jiro. "Don't ask me, I don't know either." Jiro answered. "It's too early to celebrate or quit. Didn't Meter senpai tell you?" I asked of them. "What? She didn't tell." They asked chorally. "It's about the parade. We are the ones who will lead the parade. And Meter senpai said the theme of the festival is medieval time, so we are assigned here, get it." I explained to them.

            "WHAT!!!!" They shouted chorally. "Meter senpai didn't even tell me about that."Ayaka said.  "Me neither." Jiro seconded. "Then we have to ride on the horses?" Yuji asked. "Of course, didn't I say earlier?" "You should've have told me earlier." Jiro said to me. "I didn't know that you didn't know. Let's stop talking we have to start now, we don't have much time." With anxious looks, they start following me inside the stables to prepare them for their training.

             "You said we will be train to ride on horses. But I don't see anyone who will teach us." Ayaka inquired. "It was I who will train you, so better do what I will tell you, if not you will get hurt." "Huh?" They only said out of surprise. "Then I will explain to you for starters. You will ride these horses for the mean time. This is BlackCloud a Thoroughbred stallion, he is still young and gentle. This one is BlueLeaf a Shire mare, they are at the same age with BlackCloud and she is the gentlest of them all. This horse is MoonLight a white Lippizan stallion, he is one of the fastest horse here. Last but not the least MadSpeed a black Andalusian stallion, the fastest and fiercest of them all."

            "Wow, you are really knowledgeable about horses Alexis-chan." Ayaka complimented. "Now that you introduce us to them, what's next?" Yuji asked. "Don't rush yourself, we will get there." I answered. "The next thing you need to know is the equipments you will need. First is the helmet. Please wear them." I handed them the helmets. "This is what we called the saddle. We always used these whenever we ride on horses, anytime, any situations. I will teach you how to put it on the horses." With patient, they are able to put the saddle on their respected horses.

            "Next are the noseband and the rein. These is we use to control the horses." Without hesitation, they put it without a single word from their mouth. They are easy to teach, maybe we don't have any problems now. "Now that we are through, we can move on to the next step, ride on them." Ayaka turned to me. "Alexis-chan I know you are not in rush but are we gonna ride on them right now? I'm not that very comfortable when I'm alone."

            "Is that so? Then you can have a tandem then with Yuji-san." Yuji frowned.

"Why me? Don't ask me to accompany her." Yuji hurriedly disagreed. "Don't worry you will not accompany her throughout the time, just this time. And beside this is also your first time to ride on a horse." "Ok, I get it. Just this time." "Well, thanks. Ayaka are ok with that?" "Well, if you say so, then it's fine." How about me? I don't know how to ride on horses." Jiro burst.
