It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

48 "Out of the box: A story of a man ②"

I stayed in the city for a while and saw the growers and those around him who lived in the city, but there was a surprising continuum.

It is indisputable that the monsters he named Kyo were growing in the garden.

Moreover, as far as I know, the type and number were out of the standard, and even monsters that were difficult to produce naturally were cultivated inside.

Kyo, is that it? Aren't you afraid of monsters?

"Hee? No, I don't have that kind of feeling in particular."

"Really? Most people are afraid of monsters, and they don't normally want to grow them."

"Ah, well, I was certainly attacked at first by someone like Kiwi, and then by a killer plant that I grew up in, but that doesn't scare all the monsters. Besides, I've never thought about that because they're all relatively big people I'm raising."

There was a faint impression of the perception of monsters in this world.

Certainly there are many large species of low-ranking monsters, but the danger increases as the rank rises.

Hunting monsters is the main form of production for humans in this world.

In addition to food, there are many items that can be taken from monsters, such as clothing and daily necessities, and the monster's residence is the main place, such as lumber and ore.

And the higher the rank of the monster, the higher its quality.

For this reason, for humans in this world, monsters are an enemy and a resource in everyday life.

But that's why most of the human mortality in this world is caused by monsters.

In that context, what he was doing was a harmonious scene that changed the way the world produced and hunted.

By cultivating and breeding monsters that serve as resources, we mitigate all risks and efforts.

If this were to spread globally, production in this world would be covered.

But I also knew it was impossible.

There is no such thing as a person with the means and skills to grow such a variety of monsters in this world.

No, to be precise, there has been a slight historical existence, but it would nevertheless be theoretical on the table to popularize it in general.

But if this could go all over the world.

"It must be an ideal place."

A world where you don't have to fight anymore, where you can rest without worrying about anyone.

Dreaming of such a dream world, the man - Felid - looks at the oysters playing with the monsters he grows.

But even if such a world were born, there wouldn't be a lot of people who would accept it in this world today. Because there is a social system in this world that interferes with it.

"Oh, you're still here."

Felid answers without looking back at the signs of the person appearing from behind and his voice.

"Oh, is that what you want with a boy named Kyo?

"Well, I'm not here to say hello directly, but I can't come here for a while, so I'm here to say hello..."

So I noticed some depression in Lily's expression.

"You look like you're in trouble. If you don't mind, I'll help you."

"Huh? No, it's fine. You don't have to go out of your way to help me."

"Don't say that. Think this is in return for your help."

Lily sighed with astonishment as she stood up and looked at me carrying her sword to her hips.

"I don't care, but I don't know what to do."

That being said, as far as I can see, the girl smiled without realizing that her heart was very gentle.

"Dragon, huh? It's rare around here."

"Yes, I recently received information that I had flown to a mountain around here, and a request for extermination was received from the realm."

"Are you alone?

"The opponent is a B-ranked dragon, and a team of adventurers on the Kingdom side escaped during the crusade and came to us. I don't think the wound is blocked yet, so I think I'll be able to do it by myself. More than that."

I wonder if it's a heroic point?

Lily looked back on my words.

"Yeah, that's right. Those who aspire to be brave in this world will be recognized as brave if they earn a certain amount of points. And if a recognized brave man doesn't earn a designated point from the country, he will be stopped."

"It's a very troublesome system."

It is one of the common sense in this world.

Another reason people hunt monsters outside of production. That is the system and grades called this Heroic Point.

As mentioned earlier, you will need points to earn the title of Champion by accumulating points and to maintain it after you earn the title.

And the most efficient way to earn points is to crush monsters.

It's a system built into the country and society to hunt monsters and increase productivity, and as a result it plays a big role, but I also saw it as one of the causes of unnecessary warfare in this world.

Those who have become brave are promised various kinds of support, such as support from the country and entry pass to each continent and country.

For this reason, once you taste the luxury of that position, more people hunt monsters than necessary to protect it.

However, as a result, it became a declaration of war against the monster king, the “Demon King”. Until then, some of the monsters that had been disorderly were unified under the command of the Demon King Army. Soon, disputes with the Demon King Army began to occur in various countries.

"Does it still mean Lily is a brave man to defeat as many prey as a dragon and earn points by herself?

Well...

Lily answers my question lightly.

Again, as I first felt, she seems to be a famous brave man.

Perhaps the title sounded familiar, but she just answered YES and wouldn't say anything more.

Perhaps you don't want me to step in. I also intended to understand those parts, so I decided to end this story here.

"... there he is."

There was a dragon at the foot of the mountain resting on its wounded wings.

"The Wyburn Dragon."

It is a relatively major category among dragon species. It is a species called Feilong, which is not very valuable for food, but its scale is valuable as a material for a variety of weapons and armor.

"You can fight a little, right?

Well, a little bit.

Lily, who holds the weapon, also holds the sword.

At that time, you noticed that the injured dragon spread its wings and raised its roar, but there was no sign of it rising.

Normally, the Wyburn Dragon was the main method of combat to fly and target prey from above, but the wounds were so deep that he couldn't do it.

Immediately discerning the state of the immobile opponent, Lily pierces the opponent's emergency sword.

But tough scaled armor prevents it from falling in a single blow.

A dragon that shook its nails to counter Lily, who had wounded herself.

My fingernails flashed as if I'd cut them off.

Lily showed a slight surprise at my instant support, but immediately listened to the roar caused by the dragon's pain and stabbed the sword again in her defenseless stomach as she tried to fall on her back.

Lily's sword penetrated the thin scale of the dragon, and the dragon fell silently with a roar.

"There are a lot of guys in Wyburn who don't taste very good. Oh, of course it's about the taste."

Lily suddenly opened her mouth as she wrote something in a correspondence diary that could send the same characters to distant books at the end of the battle.

"I'm still alive in this world, so I'll hunt the monsters I need. But I don't really like hunting monsters just for these points. Especially if it's the one who tried so hard to escape even though it was so hurt."

I was like myself with Lily's murmuring expression.

Killing monsters is not evil in itself. But hunters don't kill more than they need to.

If you only hunt the minimum you need to live, you'll never get over it.

Yes, she closes her diary before I say anything to her.

"All right, that's it. Looks like a craftsman is coming to retrieve this dragon later. In the meantime, this concludes the appearance of the athletes. Now, let's go back."

That's how she walks out with her hands on my shoulders, but on her way back, she turns around like she remembers something.

"Oh, yeah. You're surprisingly strong. Thank goodness."

Her smile was beautiful, but at the same time she seemed lonely.

"Oops! Lily! I just got here! Look at this, if Jack's soybeans inspired me to raise soybean monsters the other day, what should I do with this huge increase!!

"You idiot. Ordinary jewel beans are as fertile as weeds. According to what I've heard, they make their own nutrition and grow their own."

"Oops! That's right! I didn't do anything. I grew up like this! Oh, that's the meat from the field! Damn it!

"You'd better grow it a little more systematically... wow! The flowers are popping and the fruit is popping out!

"Wowaaahhhh!! The fallen star ripens and scatters its fruit like a star! All right, retreat! Evacuate!

When Lily returned, she was interacting with a boy named Kyo that she would never have loved.

However, the expression seemed very lively and enjoyable, and the smile was not something lonely towards me earlier, but a pure smile.

When I saw them, I wondered why there was a natural warm smile on my cheeks.

"So, are you sure you want to go now? Ah, what about the fruit of the fallen flower star and the jewel beans?

"No, it's enough because I've got the fruit of this killer plant and a lot more."

Really? Then be careful. "

After that, I was taken care of by a person named Kyo, and I decided to travel again.

I began to have a clear purpose when I spent time with them about the reason.

"One day, I will try to find a truly productive world where people and monsters are in harmony, like you."

"Huh?" I don't know what you're talking about, but do your best!

I smiled bitterly at him, pointing my thumb at him.

And thank the girl next to her again.

"Thank you, Lily. Thanks to you, I was able to think about a lot of new ways."

"Besides, I haven't done anything in particular. Thank you for saving your life in the meantime."

Again, I recognise a girl who is kind to the girl who appeals to the fact that she doesn't owe money.

"Now I tell you, it was beautiful how you danced on the battlefield. It was the first flower on the battlefield to feel beautiful as a slaughter."

"Ha?!

Lily blushed her face against the praise from my heart and somehow remained silent and stiff.

Did you say something that touched her mind? I thought I should have likened it to a butterfly, not a flower, but a future festival.

I turned my hand back to Lily, who remained solidified, and to Kyle and her monsters, who stepped down cheerfully here, and went on the journey again.

I can't go so far.

But if we can still spread a little bit of what the Kew did to this world, it will give us a lot of change and progress in this world.

That's what I thought. I was walking down the street.

"Hi, it's been a long time. Mr. Felid."

There was someone I knew.

"Are you....."

"I need your help. I need your help with my plan."

I was puzzled by the person's request for cooperation, and I went on a tour to say what to say about the offer, but then I heard the words that were released from the person, and I was shocked again.

"Help me transform this world. One of the seven brave men, the hero, Felid.
