It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

Stuck. I thought so this time.

On that day, as usual, I worked in the farming work in the garden of the borough hut.

Well, all the monsters I raise are monsters, and there are plenty of carrot-type monsters like Jack Au Lantern and Devil Carrot that can be harvested here these days, even if the harvest time is right.

By the way, this Devil Carrot. When I pull it out, my hands and feet grow in carrots and it moves sticky. It's a little cute.

Lily said it was good for new American adventurers because she wasn't born so fierce and less dangerous.

And I'm growing the first failed killer plants, but they're a mess.

As I grew up, they attacked me and sold me a fight to my neighbor's pumpkin.

When it was bad, the fields were rough due to pumpkin and plant fights.

Well, it was like that when I was working in the field as usual.

"It's you. Who's cultivating monsters here lately?

I was surrounded by soldiers.

"Let's have him come for a moment. Lord of my city has called."

Oh, I thought this was stuffed.

"Welcome. Well, don't be too nervous. I want you to sit in your chair."

That's why the man sitting at the table in front of me is the lord of this city.

I don't know the exact age just by appearance, but maybe in my late 20s or early 30s? Surprisingly young.

"Today, I called you to talk about your cultivation of monsters."

I'm here. Oh, no. This is definitely a pattern that you'll be punished for doing something against the law.

Otherwise, they're going to kick us out of this city. What should I do?

"Actually, I have a favor to ask you. Can't you train the cocats to lay eggs?

Yes?

I overheard it by accident. Coca... what?

"The other day, I caught a cockroach, but I'm in trouble because it doesn't lay eggs. Normally, cocatris eggs are basically taken from their nests. Recently, however, the number of cocatolis in our region has been decreasing. As a result, the number of natural eggs decreases.

I was wondering if you, who grows monsters there, would be able to lay eggs on this cockroach. "

"Well, if you catch them, they'll lay eggs naturally if you leave them alone.

"No, no, that's not it. Somehow, when a human is captured, the cockatris quickly stop laying eggs. After that, they starve to death without eating the food we give them."

Well, that's right. The one who chooses death so much as to be humiliated by his enemies?

Was that chicken monster that proud?

"Is that why you can't do it? It would be of great benefit to our region to be able to produce cocatolis eggs. Of course, if I succeed, I will pay you well."

"Well, what if I say no, by the way?

"Oh, you want me to say that?

I smiled so black that I could see the letter "belly black".

Yeah, we don't have a choice but to take it.

Well, that's how I got some money to nurture Cocatrice and this. You did it!

Just laying eggs will be easier than growing monsters!

By the way, I don't think about it because I'm afraid of imagining what would happen if I couldn't.

But if you look at the cocatolis that I picked up again, it looks like a chicken on Earth.

It's just a snake stuck to my tail, and I'm threatened from the cage.

"Master, what's wrong with this child?

And when I came back, Dora-chan popped up from the dirt and jumped on my shoulder asking if I had woken up from nap.

"I grew up here because of everything. If I lay eggs, I win."

I have omitted it quite a bit, but as long as I hold on to the main points, there is no problem. Dora is convinced that on my shoulder, too.

"So let's start with feeding. Eat, chicken."

and a monster named vegetables grown at home in front of the chicken. Speaking of which, chickens eat soybeans? Was there a soybean monster?

Sicato is also splendid in arranging vegetables in front of the cage. Hmm, this might be tougher than I thought.

So two days after that. I went out to the city and bought something like soybean and gave it to me, but I didn't look at it as if I was looking at it. Besides, I gave the chicken something that the bird would eat, but none of it is good.

I couldn't help it, so I went into a nearby cave with Lily and knocked down a giant worm and gave it to her, but this didn't work either.

Oh, by the way, the second dungeon of my life. I thought I'd die the same way I did last time. It still didn't seem to help.

"You shouldn't give up. They say the Cocatris is a proud race that chooses to die honorably when captured by humans."

Ah, I knew it.

That said, I was really in trouble. They drink water for a while, but they don't eat food.

Maybe that's why I don't have enough nutrients and can't lay eggs. On the contrary, I think if this kid eats something, he'll lay eggs, so the point is, it's all about feeding.

"... let me out."

"Chi, are you serious?

"This is also about building trust and reducing distance! If you think about it, in which world is there a person who feels more favorable while locked in a cage? You'll be free first, then you'll have common sense of skinship!

"As soon as I let you go, I'll bite you."

Of course, but there's no other plan.

Lily is there when it's time, and I can't think of anything I can do, but I have to do it.

That's how you gently open the cage door, Cocatrice.

The cockroach that came out of the cage went out and stared at our garden.

Hmm, I still feel like my heart is weakening. The chicken in the main unit is clearly less energetic than when I first saw it, and now I barely scream anymore.

Looking at it, the snake on the tail feels smooth. Or is it worse for snakes? It seems obviously weak, and because of that, the chicken part...

"Hmm?!

Now I realize that there is a possibility. No way. This guy.

No, it's worth a try.

I hurried back to the cave to get what was with Lily.

By the way, Dora left the answering machine and the management of the chicken to Jack.

"I can't believe it... I'm eating..."

Now, I saw Cocatrice eating the food we had caught right in front of me, and I looked at Lily with an expression saying that she couldn't believe it.

Yeah, I get it. There are two surprises in that face.

One is, of course, that this cocatrice is eating the food given to it by humans.

And the other one.

"Oh, my God. Cocatris wasn't exactly a proud monster. It's just that we've been feeding his“ tail, "and we've been feeding him differently."

Yes, what Cocatris is eating right now is a rat-shaped monster called a baby rat.

And the part of the cockroach snake that is swallowing it with a bite rather than a bump.

Yes, this cockroach was thought to be a chicken-shaped monster. The main unit was apparently made of snakes.

And you know rats who eat snake staples. Well, no matter how many ingredients a chicken might eat, I wouldn't eat them if the main body was a snake.

That's how you swallowed the food we procured. Thank you very much for your satisfaction.

Surprisingly, if you feed this guy, you'll miss him.

Anyway, this will inflate expectations that you may lay eggs tomorrow morning.

Conclusion. It was male. It was a problem before that.

Hey, lord, check it out.

Shortly afterwards, a female cocatrice was brought in to lay an egg safely.

By the way, the male cocatolis was delicious.
