My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 719

We talked about post horses

---

“So, about what you were saying earlier…”

After seeing the fenrirs off, I trained with Tilura until it was dinner time.

As always, Leo made Sherry run. Though, not as much as she used to. I suppose it was because Sherry had lost weight.

That meant her diet would likely be ending soon. But perhaps there would be some fenrir combat training next.

Regardless, after we had finished eating, Sebastian approached me.

“Uh, you mean about having places where you could change your horses between towns and villages?”

“Yes. As they are living creatures, they would need rest. Unless you are in no rush or part of a caravan. Also, it would cost money to trade, and so you wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t necessary.”

“Well, it does mean selling your horse and buying a new one. While it is better than exhausting the horse, it is not an option for everyone. Mostly, it is for rich people who want to save time while traveling long distances.”

Even if you had a good horse that would fetch a good price, you would still take a loss. And most merchants and travelers would not want that.

The first thing I thought of, was just to have a place where you could trade horses in order to shorten the amount of time spent resting. But it would need a little more planning.

“Of course, the rider would need to rest as well. So there should be a tavern or inn. That way, they could earn an income.”

“I see. An inn…”

“Well, since there may not be that many people who use it, having an inn might help to cover the costs… But it might be more complicated than that.”

Even if we built such a place, if not enough people used it, we would just be losing money.

I could imagine Mr. Ekenhart using it gladly, but he might be the only one…

There was the possibility of it being more of a charity establishment, but it should at least break even then. Or it will not last.

People would have to work there, after all…

I was starting to be reminded of my old job.

Sometimes, there would be a new plan, but after some consideration, it is rejected because it is not profitable. That happened a lot.

There were a lot of other reasons that it could happen as well.

But that didn’t matter right now.

“Yes, adding an inn. That could work. In fact, something like that was considered in the past.”

“It was?”

“Yes. But the conclusion was that it would be difficult…due to expenses.”

“If anything, there are probably more people who would be interested in the inn, than trading a horse.”

“Yes, because it will be a resting place for travelers. Most would rather sleep under a safe roof, than camp outside.”

Especially someone like me, who was not really used to camping.

At least I was with Claire and the people of the mansion. They had good tents and equipment. Which was at least more comfortable than sleeping out in the open.

Though, the average traveler would not be able to camp out in the same way.

Many just made a fire and slept around it.

“Indeed. Traveling at night is dangerous, so it is normal to rest. And being able to rest at an inn would make a big difference.”

“Especially if it is a long journey. Sometimes, people travel for weeks. You would become very tired. Even I get tired, in spite of all the help. …Thank you, Mr. Takumi. For the herbs.”

“Ah, yes. Even with plenty of rest, you can still wake up tired.”
