After leaving the lake bottom, Kroya encountered two magical beasts that were... both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Ah."
Looking at the two tall, red horses approaching him, he struck his right palm with his left fist. "These are Blaze Horses!"
Honestly, he had rather forgotten these two magical beasts existed.
They actually belonged to the knights and were the "standard-issue magical beasts" distributed by the Mage Association back then. In other words, they were as ordinary as could be.
Gentle, loyal to their owners, and blessed with great stamina...
That sounded quite good, but when it came to magical beasts, being mediocre meant being a dime a dozen.
Despite being called "Blaze Horses," even children could ride them around without trouble. They never lost their tempers at all.
Precisely because there was nothing special about them, Kroya had almost forgotten them.
The two Blaze Horses clearly had no idea their owners' master had forgotten them. Upon seeing Kroya, they immediately snorted with excitement.
Then they ran straight toward him.
As they drew near, they slowed their pace and walked over, rubbing their large heads against Kroya's raised palm.
They were very affectionate toward him.
"Good."
Kroya quite enjoyed having magical beasts fawn over him.
He casually took out a handful of fodder and fed them. While stroking their large heads, he suddenly sensed something.
It was a voice from their astral spirit bodies-
"The sea is everywhere."
"If only we could run on water!"
Hearing those voices, Kroya blinked and perked up.
This is perfect.
I was just planning to find some magical beasts to inscribe, and here you are, delivering yourselves to my door.
It's not a lack of ideas I'm worried about-it's whether you're willing!
He really could grant this wish outright.
Walking on Water was actually a third-level
