Hornless

"Heeya~ Darri?"
"Gi is so fast nanodesu!"
Tama and Pochi are excited as they speed through the plains on their horses.
Today, we came to the plains area of the Bolenan Forest to help the horses get some exercise. They've been stuck indoors since we got here.
Of course, we brought Liza and Nana's raptors and Mia's hornless unicorn in addition to the four wagon horses.
Arisa can't ride a horse by herself, so she's sitting behind Lulu.
"Satou."
Mia points to a figure in the distance.
"Teacher~?"
It looks like that figure is Tama's instructor, the samurai elf Shishitouya-san. We didn't really have anything planned, so we decided to head over towards the large rock that he is sitting on.
"Teacher~."
Tama waves her hands around as she stands upright in Darri's saddle. He seems to have noticed us and starts waving back.
"Satou, are you here to watch the unicorns too?"
"No, we were just here to exercise the horses."
Shishitouya-san, aka Shiya, points to the distance from atop the rock. I can see several white horse-like figures.
He tells me that the pixies needed to check on the health of the unicorns, and he came here as their escort.
"--Pixies giving a health exam?"
My brain seems to be unable to process this contradictory information.
"Indeed, the pixie queen has the ability to understand the status of the phantasmal beasts with just a single touch."
I use my Farsight skill to look at the unicorns and notice a slightly bigger pixie with butterfly-like wings.
I guess that one is the queen.
In the middle of our conversation, Mia's hornless unicorn snorts loudly.
It looks it has noticed the unicorns approaching us and is interested in them.
"It's unusual for the unicorns to come so close to a male elf or human."
Just like he said, the unicorns are slowly moving towards us.
Maybe they noticed the hornless and are interested in him too?
"Horsey coming~?"
"It's the ucorns nanodesu."
"No."
"I correct that they are the one-horned unicorns."
"Fuhahaha, come at me unicorns! Tremble before my two lifetime's worth of pure maiden-ness!"
Is it just me, or does Arisa have a tinge of desperation in her voice?
Does it even work like that?
"They are heading towards Master."
"Satou, stand back. Unicorns are known to be violent against men."
"Don't worry--"
Shiya-san gives me a warning. However, the unicorns in the giant village were friendly to me, so these should be fine too.
"--See?"
The unicorns are completely benign. Some of them sniff my arms, and a few of them start licking my face.
"How can this be!"
Shiya-san shouts in surprise.
"Satou was a woman all along!"
--No.
Liza, Lulu, stop it with those surprised faces. Not to mention that all of you have entered the mixed bath with me several times.
"Satou."
Mia walks up to me and reaches her hands out.
"What happened to the hornless?"
"Mate."
I glance over to where Mia is pointing and see the hornless getting along nicely with a female unicorn.
Looks like the season of love has finally arrived for him.
As we ride through the plains with the unicorns, we watch over the hornless's romance.
In the end, we never did find out the reason that the unicorns were fine with a male like me.
--I wonder why.
