Chapter 15: Two Choices

In choosing a monster to carry their belongings, Mercedes’s mind immediately jumped to horses. They were livestock long utilized for travel and transport, and their sturdy, developed legs were perfect for carrying heavy loads over long distances. Animals used for transport were called “pack animals,” and horses were so often used as pack animals the word “packhorse” existed. The connection was so strong that now, the word “packhorse” was even used to describe those who carried heavy burdens of work and responsibility.

However, horses weren’t exactly adept at traversing the dungeons. They couldn’t exhibit their full potential in closed-off spaces, and it was possible that some spaces may be so narrow a horse wouldn’t even be able to make it through at all. Mercedes contemplated what else were often used as pack animals, which included donkeys, cows, deer, camels, and llamas. She wanted something with strong legs that could carry heavy loads far, but she wasn’t sure if any of those would function well in dungeons.

“Do you have any monsters good for carrying luggage? If possible, I want something that can move through narrow spaces like dungeons without getting stressed out,” asked Mercedes as she watched the monsters in the cages.

The shopkeeper immediately pointed her over to one of the pens. “I’d recommend a krylia. They’re the best monster for carrying baggage through dungeons.”

Mercedes had received the speedy response of an expert. They must have had previous customers looking for the same thing as her, which made sense considering a packman was an essential role in any adventuring squad. In fantasy light novels, it’s often ignored since the protagonist almost always has a bag that can fit unlimited items, but in reality, the presence of someone to hold your baggage can be the difference between life and death.

Inside the cage the shopkeeper led Mercedes to was a peculiar monster roughly the same height as her. It largely resembled a rhinoceros, as it had eye-catching stone-like skin and sturdy legs. Its mouth was pointed like a beak and it had one horn on the tip of its nose and two on the top of its head. Around its neck was a scarf that seemed to be protecting its vitals. It looked like a miniature version of the triceratops that would appear in encyclopedias of Mercedes’s old world as it munched away on grass inside its cage with calm eyes.

“This is a krylia. They’re very relaxed, easy to tame, and obedient. They have high endurance and prefer closed spaces to open ones. Even heavy loads won’t bother them, and while they are usually docile, they can run even faster than horses at full speed.”

“Sounds perfect. How much is it?”

“Thirty thousand yerks.”

Mercedes immediately decided to buy this miniature triceratops—this krylia—as her packmonster. Now, she’d have something to carry her bags.

With that all out of the way, she decided to stay out of the dungeons and return home to train the krylia for a few days. She also took the opportunity to
