I Became a Regulatory Official for the Poaching of Monsters, but the Rescued Monsters are trying to Eat Me

Wipe the blown wine properly with the back of your hand.

"Is that the wine!? This"

Since Mandragora is a botanical beast, it is absorbed from its roots by bathing in the fed wine.

Speaking of Mandragora in this country, there is no one but him in the forbidden library. Taketto often helped the Mandragola bath, but I never thought that the wine he used at that time was used like this.

"Because it's a wine stained with the ingredients of Mandragora that makes you immortal if you eat it.

It's like medicine. As expected, immortality is just an unfounded legacy, but it's highly nourishing and fatigue recovery. Just in time, I'll give you one. "

Jen pulls a bottle of wine out of a pile of books and stuff next to his desk and pushes it against the tacket.

"Ah, thank you...."

When you forcibly pick up the bottle in the middle of the day, you see the red wine left in the glass in your hand. When I thought his stock was out, I suddenly felt like drinking it. I wonder what will happen if I get it in a bottle.

"Maybe you didn't call me to drink this wine, did you?

According to Taketo, Jen smiles happily.

"Of course. Taketo, I need to ask you something. You've stopped a runaway sand whale before."

Oh, yes.

You can't forget. A few months ago, it was an incident in the Gora Desert. At that time, the endangered sand whale was about to crush the village of Oasis.

"I also read your report on the incident. It was well organized and very easy to read. I knew you were good at paperwork. [M] Why don't you be my personal clerk? Yeah, of course, I work alongside the Magic Beast Poaching Control Officer."

With a smile, Jen lowers the corner of his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. Concurrent duties....."

Suddenly I couldn't answer that question right away.

"... let me think for a moment"

Although it obscured the tea, Jen didn't force it any more.

"Oh, of course. Let me know if you feel like it. So, about that report. There were some weird hooded whales putting a device on the head of a sand whale, and the sand whale suddenly attacked you."

"Yes"

"It seemed as if the device was causing the sand whales to follow their instructions."

Tacket nods. I remember the contents well because it is something I wrote.

"Yes, the sand whale began to run wild because of some sort of trouble shortly afterwards. But when I destroyed the device, the runaway stopped and the sand whales returned to their original calm. That's what I wrote in my report."

"Yeah, I'm talking about the device. Can you tell me the shape again in detail?"

"Huh? Ah, yes. I understand."

As far as Taketo remembered, he explained to Jen the size, snagging, etc. As I wrote in the report, I would add that I could not write in the report, such as how Chante looked when I saw the equipment and the havoc I felt.

"Really... Miss Chante..."

After hearing the explanation from Taketo, Jen put his hand on his chin and thought of something for a while. As he stares at the floor, he murmurs to himself with a bump.

I didn't really hear what you were saying, so I put wine in my mouth instead of the mandragola soup (dashi) that I had in my hand. The wine itself is truly delicious because it is a fine wine originally used in the Royal Palace.

After a while, Jen's gaze returns to the tacket.

"What was in that device. It said it looked like a red liquid."

"Yes"

"That's it. If you were to compare something like this to something else, what would it be closer to? Intuition is fine. Whatever comes to mind, just let me know."

"By analogy? Hmm...."

Suddenly it bothers me to say such a thing. It was a few months ago, so I desperately evoked a vague memory.

It was bright, dark red, and when the tacket shot through, it splashed. Yes, that creepy vibrant red...

"If you compare it to something, it's blood... right? At first it was a little red and black, like venous blood, but gradually it turned into a bright, fresh blood color."

It seemed like it splashed apart. Samaritan was also very similar to blood. Rather than shooting down the machine, I remember shooting at some creature and feeling sick.

I see. That's what you thought. "

You're worried about the word "too," and Taketo looks suspicious.

"Oh, uh. I was wondering what that might be. No, I didn't see it, but I've been looking into the literature. I can't throw away the possibility that it was really blood or something like that."

Jen's witty Moss Green eyes quietly stared at the bait.

"Tacket. Where do you think the Beasts came from?

"From where...?

I don't understand the intent of the question, and the tacket answers straight back.

"Like humans and other animals, it's evolved..."

"I wonder if that's true. What if... the beast was made artificially?

Jen's tone was like a public conversation, but his eyes weren't laughing.
