Naming a cow that can't eat radishes "Radish"… Sazanoko found it a bit strange in her heart, but said nothing more.
After all, naming his mount was entirely Aoto's freedom, and as an outsider, Sazanoko wasn't in a position to comment.
Just before saying goodbye to the old farmer, Aoto casually asked about Radish's age. According to the old farmer, Radish was a three-year-old prime bull.
Even someone like Aoto, who knew nothing about raising cattle, could tell from Radish's physique how well it had been fed and cared for in its short three years of life.
Broad and sturdy, with clear muscle lines visible under its four hooves, it was powerful enough to carry both Aoto and Sazanoko swiftly, almost as fast as an average riding horse.
