It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

Hey, guys. How's it going?

My name is Jack. Jack Au Lantern is a monster of his race.

Grown by a brother named Kyo, this is the first monster to be born with character.

Kyo's brother is really amazing. In addition to me, I was recognized by many people for cultivating various monsters, and I played an active role in the world's largest cooking tournament. Eventually, I was recognized as a goddess and became a hero.

That said, this time it's a personal story that has nothing to do with it.

The chronology was also before your brother met the goddess and appeared in the big cooking tournament.

Well, to tell you the truth, this time it's a side legend.

But in order to paint the story, it's important to talk about the sidekick who sometimes consolidates the lead role.

This time, the story of me hit by the white feather arrow may be connected somewhere, and I may be forgotten.

I'll tell you something with such expectations and anxiety.

That was a few months ago.

On that day, I was walking as usual, fluffy and moving deep into the woods.

It was then that I found her.

He fell on the spot and had a basket with a small mashtag in his hand.

But most of all, it was the wolves surrounding her, the Killer Wolf herd.

This looks like it's being attacked anyway.

Well, we met here on the edge of something. I will let you carry out the spirit that your brother usually says, "I'd rather help you than not help you."

I immediately accumulated magic around me, from which a ghostly flame emerged, shooting it one after the other at the wolf that surrounded the woman.

Shall I call it the ghost flare, the ghost flame?

Anyway, those countless ghost flares hit the wolves. The wolf who noticed us and tried to fight back instantly continued to catch fire, and the one who stormed us also hit the proud pumpkin head and defeated it.

Eventually, you realized how strong we were. The wolves ran into the woods one after the other.

Fu, after all, it's a dangerous F-ranked monster. I'm not my enemy in rank E.

Confirming that the wolves were gone, I called out to the fallen woman again.

"Are you okay, little girl?"

"Ah, thank you... I don't know who it is, but it helped."

I felt a strange discomfort with the woman who stood up as if she were thanking someone, but she stood up and turned towards me and noticed the reason.

The woman was meditating her eyes.

I'm not meditating too much on fear.

It is likely that she is blind. The next moment, the line that convinces you is zero from the woman.

"I'm sorry, it's like this. I can't even see the face of the benefactor who saved my life."

"No, don't worry about it. Neither did I have a face that I could see. Instead, you'll be disillusioned."

"No, that's not true. I don't judge people by their appearance."

A woman who smiles when she says that, but I don't know if it's because she's already out of line.

"Anyway, there's a lot of noise around here. If you don't mind, I'll take you home."

"Eh, but I'm sorry for the inconvenience..."

"Never mind. There's nothing else I can do. This is something else."

The woman who initially refused to apologize to us also nodded, "I understand," and eventually smiled.

Female - We named each other Esther along the way. I came to the house where the Est lived, but it was near the entrance to the forest, a short distance from the city.

The house wasn't as boring as the one where Kyo's brother lived, but it was quite a small wooden house with an age.

"Please come inside. You may not be very welcome, but please let me thank you a little."

"No, you don't have to worry too much about me."

I wasn't really expecting any kind of gratitude, so I thought I'd come back early, but when I went inside, one question came up.

It was known by its size from the outside, but there was only one room in the house, and there was only one desk and bed, and no one else lived there but a woman.

"Miss Esther. I don't know what to say, but is there no family here but the lady?

"... yes"

Miss Esther answers my question with a little silence.

Eventually, I kept feeling sad and hated somewhere.

My parents were killed by a monster.

I heard the faint murmur silently.

"As you can see, I can't see, can I? But we've been poor for a long time and we don't have the money to buy cures. So my father and mother went on a monster hunt to register as an adventurer and make money to get me a cure. But after several adventures, both my father and mother were killed by monsters. This is what my father was holding when he came back to this house with his last wave of strength."

And so I took a few little seeds out of my desk.

It was probably a seed of beans.

"Does it stay that way?

"Yes, I can't afford to sell a seed like this. I have to have a special environment and ability to grow monsters to bury them in the garden, and I can't grow them with my eyes. If this comes true, you might not have to go deep into the woods to get the ingredients."

That's how she grips the seed.

I see. Surely, if the edible monsters were born in the garden, they wouldn't be as dangerous as they were.

After some reflection, I make a suggestion.

"Hey, I need to talk to you about something, but aren't you going to leave that kind of thing with me?

Huh?

Miss Esther turned to me in surprise at the words.

"I know a brother who can grow monsters. I'd like to ask him to see what grows from that seed. Of course, when you grow up well, I'll bring you the ingredients from that seed, Miss Esther."

Miss Esther squeezed the seed in her hand to think of something in my words.

That will be the case. I wonder if the person I just met could say such a thing and give it to me.

I was wondering if I said something extra.

"I see. I'll give this kind to Jack."

She gave us the seed she had in her hand.

"Are you sure? Trust me so easily, I don't even know who I am. I might get away with this."

"It doesn't matter at that time. In any case, it's true that I had enough of it, and it would be enough to thank you for saving my life."

I receive the seed from the hand of Miss Esther who smiles, and when I see her smiling blindly, I make a promise.

"Rest assured, Miss Esther. I'll make sure he gets it."

I assured her, I put the seed in my mouth, and I walked out the door.
