In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 456 Zoo, and the animals.
Thirty minutes to be rocked by train, from the town where Grandpa's house is located to the big city. From there I took the subway to the station in front of the zoo, which is my destination today, in more than a dozen minutes.
Until I came downtown, everyone I enjoyed watching the excitingly flowing scenery on my first train or grabbing me by a suspender in a rocking car, but as soon as I switched to the subway, I had a disturbing look at the noise of dark tunnels and go-go. Although Yumina was the only interesting one to observe.
"Running underground, that's an interesting idea. There is no warcraft or bandit raid on this, and in a way it is probably the safest. With dozens of soil magic users, we're going to be able to build them over there."
Subway to another world? Even though I'm still in the process of running a demon train built in Ferzen. This princess seems to be absorbing a lot from this world.
Down the subway, up the long stairs and out to the ground. A few minutes walk from there was the zoo of interest.
Not too big or too small. It's not up to date, but it doesn't even smell old. It was such a zoo.
Well, let's buy an admission ticket at the ticket office. Five hundred yen for the general population and one hundred and fifty yen for elementary and secondary school students?
"Yeah, five elementary and middle school students in general...?
Octave, Hilda, Else and Linze definitely look like high school students. Cherry blossoms are sixteen, too, and, well, somehow. Is Yumina and Lou a little hard to argue with high school students? I'm fifteen, so I can say I'm in high school.
Well, as a zoo, you should pay me a high admission fee, so I wouldn't say no.
Leanne and Su are middle school students no matter what you think, and it definitely only looks like elementary school to me...
I can't reach the counter at the ticket office, so I give him eight times the money and ask him to buy an admission ticket. I got a small brochure with the admission ticket.
"Oh, you're on a map, this"
"Wow, there are all kinds of animals"
When I opened the brochure to the voices of the twin sisters, there was a map of the zoo. Illustrations of the animals are scattered there. I see, should I go along with this?
When I entered the park, there were tall trees, and it felt like a zoo built in nature.
There are not many people because it is a weekday. There were also a few parents and children with small children and, for some reason, junior high school kids. Would it be an excursion or some kind of extracurricular class?
At the front of the entrance, there were a few doves in a resting place with some benches, but this would not be a zoo animal.
I thought it was coming of its own accord from somewhere.
"Oh! There's a bright white bird!
Su pops out. About a bird, you might think, but when you live in a castle, you don't see a lot of big birds. I can see as much as I want with the red balls.
First, many birds greeted us from the pond surrounded by fences. There is a plate next to the fence with a description of the animal.
"Oohakucho, Kohakucho, Hakugan, Cargamo..."
A duck in cancer, a hakucho? A few of them quack, quack, quack in a small pond built in the fence.
I've never actually seen a hakucho before. You must have seen it on TV many times, but don't get a little tense when you see it in real life.
When I saw it, the pigeons were eating a spill of hacksaw and other bait. I see you're here for that.
"Dear Winter Night, is this one a bird too?
"Huh? Whoa! A penguin!"
What a penguin there was on the fence next to the hackchows Hilda indicated with her fingers. I've never seen this before. [M] You're even more tense.
I'm more excited than everyone else. For the purpose of seeing it, it's not as funny as a child.
The plate says Humboldt Penguin. A few penguins were walking down the side of the small pool.
The plate said one name at a time, but I can't tell. I guess the breeder knows.
"That's cute"
"I want to take this home..."
Yumina and Lou had been hit by a walking penguin. The penguins are cute, but the two of them are cuter as far as I'm concerned.
There were a few llamas there as the penguins pulled my hair back, going down the road on the right hand side.... What's a lama?
Check the plate. What... oh, fellow camels. You're a camel without a cob in the Andes.
I was stuck in a rama where everyone would come closer. I read the narrative as I looked sideways at it. [M]
"Eh, when you're angry or excited, you throw up a very stinky bump (the contents of your stomach) and attack your opponent...?
Everyone took a step back with a smile on my voice when I read the plate. I thought you smelled something earlier. Is that it?
Rama's ready for exercise. Nice move, he's moving his mouth in a mess. We walked away from the sickle and the rama.
Next door was a phthaco camel. It's the first time I've seen it, but it's big. You have two proper cobs. It seems easy to ride.
Did you used to ride that over the desert or something...... They say camels can move for a few days without even drinking water. You think it was almost impossible for a serving animal other than a camel to cross the desert? By using camels as partners, humans were able to cross the Great Desert for the first time.
But you're staring at me. I don't want it to be slight. Oh, it just moved a little.
"You don't move much. Is it a relaxer?
"It's like there's a camel race or something, so I guess my legs are fast. There's not much point in running this size."
The place with camels, surrounded by fences and moats, is not that big. There are no enemies, and if there is no reason to rush, is it impossible to relax?
Say goodbye to the immobile phthaco camel and move to the next location.
Next up for the Futaco Camel is the Lesser Panda. Surprisingly big. And cute.
For some reason, I've been circling around the fence. Sometimes I get a slight glance at this one, but as I saw on TV, he didn't stand up with his hind legs.
Then, as we walked down the road, we saw nihon monkeys playing with playthings, gobbling and rolling tsukino wagmas, and nagging nihon boars in the sun.
"Tiny and cute"
Surrounded by clear acrylic plates, with cherry blossoms peering in, were several ogro prey dogs. 'Ogro' because the tail is black?
He uses his small forefoot to feed while standing near the nest hole. Is that like a walking post, keeping an eye on you?
"Oh, we're hugging each other!
Two Plaley Dogs who were in front of Hilda are hugging each other from the front. It wasn't just that, it was even a kiss. That seems to be the prairie dog greeting. Somehow we're headed to the next area.
"Beasthouse...? I wonder if that means dangerous animals.... Doesn't look like much."
Leanne puts her neck on the letter written on the information board. Well, I know how that feels.
The lion king of the hundred beasts, visible from us over the toughened glass, slept on the rock, lying all over his body.
How defenseless...... I don't even have a shard of ambition. It's like a big cat.
The lion stays asleep and doesn't move much longer.... You're not dead, are you?
When I went to the tiger house next to it, Sumatra tiger slept down just like a lion. My uncle with a stubborn camera was shooting that tiger, but the tiger was devouring his inebriation without responding to it in any way.
"It's the same amber that's gobbling in the castle..."
Yae blushes as he looks at the tiger. No, well. Amber runs animals all over town in Amber, and he looks around the castle.... maybe.
Leaving the tra building and entering a tunnel built like a cave, he went out to a place with reinforced glass embedded on one side of the wall. On the other side of the glass there is a build-up of water, the surface of which is higher than the octave's tall. It's like an aquarium exhibit, but what kind of animal is it? Like seals or something?
Suddenly, a huge white thing jumped into that water. Whoa!?
"Hey, what? What!?
"A bear! A white bear!
Fist against the silo bear that Else appeared on the other side of the glass. Hey, wait! Don't hit me! The glass breaks!
Else also guessed it, and immediately lowered her fist. I don't know how much of the toughened glass here is, but I think if it's a real blow she'll release, it'll probably crumble easily.
"What, it's not a bear... Don't surprise me..."
View plate. Hokkiokuma, huh? Right, it was the Beasthouse. There's no way he's a seal.
Hokiokuma is slowly swimming in the water. Swim cleverly.
Hokiokuma only had his face on the water and stood over the glass looking at us.
"Hehe. You remind me of Paula. How are you, that girl?"
Leanne puts her hand on the glass and looks up at Hokiokuma. But Hokiokuma quickly slipped away from her gaze and swam away.
"Oh, I don't think they liked me."
Leanne was staring at the hockey bear leaving with a tickling laugh.
Through the caves of Hokiokuma, it was the area of raptors such as hayabusa, owls and owls that appeared in front of them. Surrounded by a high gold net, it stops at the branches as if they were staring down at us. I'm also getting used to being looked down because I'm getting shorter......
Go around the east side of the park and now head west.
Walk up a gentle slope, past the cage containing the monkey, with the waoki, the owl tenagazar, the sissiozar, and the chimpanzee. Is the west side on the hill? I saw the hakuchos I visited earlier downstairs.
That's a lot of kids for the wrong people. No, are we with kids too... I also see the old couple. I guess it's a place to relax in your neighborhood.
"Beautiful bird."
An Indian jerk.
Su caught my eye by two whales walking in a cage. It's a colorful color of blue and green, so this is both males, right? The females should certainly have a more plain color. I don't see any females, but I wonder if they're hiding in the shadow of a rock.
I wanted to see the decorative feathers spread out and waited a little, but I never spread either. That seems to spread during courtship actions and other times, so it's probably normal not to spread it without a female.
"Even males might spread it out, right?
"Yeah, well, they've got things to spread with restraint on them,"
I wonder why, what makes Lindsay's words sound different.
"Whoa, my husband... Winter Night Palace, there's a dining room over there!
Yae pointed out that there was a restaurant in the park. There are plenty of terrace seats and it looks like we could eat outside. It's not even lunch yet, so it doesn't seem like so many people.
"A little early but at lunch..."
Before I said, Hachi, Lu, Su and Cherry Blossom began to lead the way early. Eater Banzai.
After the four of us, we go through the store's automatic doors. "Welcome -!" and the voice of the vibrant clerk flew in.
"Wow...... Sounds like a good place,"
Linze looked inside the store and leaked a happy voice. The wooden interior has a bright and stylish atmosphere with a spacious openness. The warm sun falls on the terrace seats at the end of the glass door, and what a pleasant feeling it seems.
I have my eyes on the machine with Hilda next to the inlet. That's a ticket machine.
"Dear Winter Night, is this' Jido Hanbai '?
"It's a ticket machine. You put money in this and you buy vouchers for what you eat. Look, there's a picture over there."
Apparently we choose to cook here on the ticket machine. There are pictures of various dishes on the other side of the acrylic panel. This is the menu, right?
"Oh, cute"
"Oh, really."
Else and Lene look at the cooking in the picture and smile. That's a cute dish for sure.
There is a meatball made of cheese on top of the hamburger in the shape of a deformed bear's hand. The rice next to you is also in the shape of a bear's head.
There were many other dishes with scattered animals, such as curries served with rice in elephant silhouettes and parfaits served with goat and rabbit cookies. Of course there are regular spaghetti, pizza and omelette.
We each decided what to eat, bought food tickets from a food machine, and took them to the counter.
I receive the food and because of this I decide to have it on the terrace. The sun is warm, and I'm glad it's a good day to go.
Exactly, there are no seats on the terrace for ten, so we split them into five.... Wait a minute, Yae. I don't need a chair for that child.
"Mm-hmm. It's pretty good. Bangu."
"Cute and delicious. Let Claire make it over there."
Sakura and Su had ordered the same dish called 'Kumakuma Plate'. That's the one with the bear hamburger and rice on it. There are other fried shrimp, salad, and potatoes together. That's quite sumptuous.
I think Lou or Cock length Claire could make it normally. Kids are going to be happy, and they're going to need these dishes. There's gonna be nine more of them all...
Su and cherry blossoms sat in our seats, eight times Lou. Because of this, there are many dishes lined up on a small table. The other customers move past the side with their faces.
"... Hmm. The fabric produces a thick, crisp texture, right? The sourness and sweetness of the tomatoes and the intensity of the cheese make another exquisite combination…"
Lou is eating pizza saying bumps. Most of the food at this table is her order, but it was octave eating the majority of it. The pizza is also disappearing into an octave stomach while Lou eats a slice. Are you sharing?
"Mmm! Hey, it's delicious!
Lou can eat a lot of dishes, Hachi can eat a lot, and I wonder if they are win-win with each other...... Well, we're both happy, okay?
I'll eat the bolognese in front of me, too. Yeah, yummy.
"King, where are you going after this?
"The east side has turned, so the west side. I can see elephants and gorillas and rhinos and chipmunks."
"Oh, a chipmunk! I'm looking forward to that!
There are other geese, giraffes, flamingos. Looks like the area ahead is the Africa area.
"But the animals here are quiet. I thought it might be a more violent one because they put it in a cage."
"No, because tigers and lions are usually dangerous, right? You have to use amber or something."
Well, the tigers and lions here didn't feel dangerous either, staying asleep all the time. Still, the Beast is the Beast.
I'd leave it unattended and observe the animals from inside a safe car, maybe I could have seen something wilder if it were shaped like a so-called safari park.
"But I didn't know we could even see animals if we didn't take this form. Wouldn't you be able to see a lot if you went to the woods and mountains?
"Mm-hmm. There aren't many big animals or anything like that in Japan. I wonder if it's about a bear. That's not easy to see, either. It's dangerous."
There are other dangerous animals like boars. Some wild monkeys and other annoying animals.
What a high rate of encouragement for a wolf to enter the woods, as in the other world Muko. Because even wild dogs don't see much. Hey.
I know it's a good world to live in for humans, but I wonder about it for the animals.
Some creatures can hardly beat giant beasts and dragons in the other world. I can't help but symbiosis.
Would it have been seen in the zoo if dragons and such were normal over here? Being a rugged big dragon cage also makes me feel pretty tough. Don't fly.
Or is it dangerous because you throw up fire? There's no dragon zoo on Earth. Yeah, no.
"Well, it's time to go"
After eating dessert well and finishing our meal, we started walking around the park again.
Take the brochure out of your pocket and view the map. Ahead with the Africa area...... reptile hall?
