After hesitating for a moment and watching Gin-san's movements, I asked.
Gin-san nodded, then stood up and started swaying~
"Okay, okay, okay, stop swaying~ You... really want me to ride you?"
Gin-san swayed~
"All right, all right, stop swaying."
Looking at Gin-san, I couldn't help doing some calculations. If I walked to Longnan, it might take three or five days, or it might take ten or more.
After all, nobody knew what we'd encounter along the way. But if I rode Gin-san, at a snake's pace, I'd reach Longnan in two days—two days at most.
Besides, it was a snake!
It had no terrain restrictions. No matter how rough the ground was, it could still move quickly.
In that case... I might as well get on!
With that thought, I nodded at Gin-san.
"In that case, I can't turn down your kind offer. Come on, let's go together. I'll take you to see the human world!"
"Hiss~"
Gin-san swayed~
Uh~ It seemed like this guy had turned "happy" into "swaying around," and that was how it expressed itself.
"All right, all right, I know you're happy. Let's go."
As I spoke, Gin-san lowered its head. I didn't hesitate and hopped right on.
Its head slowly rose upright, and then...
"Hiss~"
Sway, sway~
"Stop swaying, hey! Let's get going!"
"Hiss~"
Gin-san seemed to answer, then set off, swaying as it went~

This was some seriously messed-up shit!
Who the hell knew how this thing could move and sway at the same time?
There was nothing I could do but tell Gin-san to follow the river upstream.
I'd noticed that the animals in this forest seemed to be fluent
