It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"Hmm, it looks like Omelette at first glance, but let's try it for now."

The judges put knives in front of the Omelette prepared by Fitz and carried it into their mouths.

And at the next moment, their lips are overflowing with admiration.

"This... is the sauce on this omelet pumpkin sauce?!

"Exactly. It's a cream sauce from Jack Au Lantern grown in Kyo-sama's garden."

Yes, Fittis chose Omelette sauce as Jack Au Lantern, which was grown in my garden.

There were various options for sauces, including the killer plant tomato sauce, but there was certainly a reason why Fitz dared to choose it as a pumpkin sauce.

"Sometimes when the sauce is too strong, the taste of omelette can kill the taste, but this is only a gentle taste to enhance the main guest, the omelette, and above all, the butter rice in the omelette matches the pumpkin sauce well."

Yes, the main guests in this dish are only eggs of omelet rice.

For this reason, Phytis has a gentle flavor of pumpkin sauce that enhances the original flavor of omelet rice.

And that wasn't all she had.

Did you notice that? All the judges, including the lord, were already obsessed with eating Phytith's omelet, and they opened their mouths when they had finished eating it.

"Now, let's move on to the review. Each of us votes for more delicious egg dishes. Are you ready for this?

Confirm with the other judges, as well as with the cook, Phytis and Casalina, all nodding and each indicating their names on their paper.

And when the three men opened the paper, all the names written therein were the names of the same person.

That's Fitness.

We said Lily, Mina, Dora, and Jack boiled when we saw the results.

Casalina, on the other hand, who had suffered a complete defeat, was apprehensive of the results.

"Well, it was a little unexpected to lose unanimously."

However, the attitude did not seem to convince her of everything, and she turned to Phytis and pointed to her cooking and asked.

Well then, the dish of breaking the pigeon. Do you mind if I taste the pigeon? It's Phytis. "

"I don't mind. Please, taste it. Master"

That's what you were expecting, Fitis offering the omelet that Casalina had made for her.

Casalina pinches it with a mouthful of foam and carries it to her mouth.

At that moment, the changes that appeared in her expression were truly astonishing.

"No way, this is...."

What kind of craftsmanship was there? Casalina imagined the cause of her victory and defeat would be there. But it wasn't.

"This egg..."

What was there was a simple egg.

Probably that she had slipped out of the eggs she knew, and it was the taste of the material itself, which went well beyond the basilisk eggs and the colored fish eggs.

Contributing to that was a frying pan dedicated to omelet rice, which Mr. Amance asked me to make.

Rounder than a regular frying pan and easier to rewind, it is easier to cook the whole, which creates a perfect semi-ripening and finishes as omelette without compromising the taste of the egg itself.

But of course, that's not enough to reproduce the flavor.

"Phytis, this egg. What kind of monster did you use? If it were a monster who lays such delicious eggs, it would be quite a rank."

"This is the monster egg I used."

This omelette is the core of the omelette. What was placed before Ms. Casalina, who expected what it was, was an egg without any deviation that betrayed her expectations.

"Cocatrice eggs?

Fittis looked at it and unexpectedly looked puzzled.

That should be it, too. Speaking of cocatris, it is a mediocre monster of D rank. The egg is also a so-called ordinary flavor, and there should be no indication to that effect. That's what they think.

"The master's question is also the most important. It would be quicker to actually show it to you to answer that. Please follow me."

That's why Fitz and Casalina will take us to where we grow the cocatolis.

Yes, it wasn't the new hut I built to raise Cocatrice, it was the garden I left alone.

"Hmm, this is...."

"It's a way of raising chickens freely in a large garden outside, called grazing."

And I explained to the scene spread out in front of me.

This was initially the result of natural rearing in the garden outside of the cottage, and was not intended from the outset.

But thanks to Fitz, I also realized the real effect of this breeding method.

"Creatures are often stressed when they are kept in buildings. Especially when it comes to creatures that produce these eggs, it can be stressful to keep them densely in narrow buildings. Of course, managing and producing eggs is definitely better in the building, but the quality of each egg is degraded as it deserves.

But by letting them spend their time freely outside in the garden, the cocatolis grow without stress is far healthier than usual, and the eggs they lay are superior to anything else. "

For me, I neglected such a basic thing as focusing on production volume.

It was all thanks to Fitness that I realized.

Casalina was as convinced as she was about my explanation, but she still had one question she didn't agree with.

"I know that for sure. These outdoors will be of a better quality than those kept in narrow rooms. But so would a lot of wild monsters. The basilisks captured by the monsters are, of course, wild monsters, and the eggs they lay should be on the same terms as the cockroaches here. But why did it taste so different?

"The reason is simple. A lot of wild monsters are always stressed."

What?

"Think carefully, Casalina. As you have just said, many wild monsters are constantly being targeted by you, brave men."

Casalina noticed the word "yes."

"So many monsters always live side by side with danger. It is a brave hunter of ourselves, and the same monsters, it is diverse. There will be times when you will not be able to sleep with constant vigilance to protect yourself and the eggs you have laid."

Yes, wild monsters should never be at peace.

Like wild beasts, they always have some kind of antenna hanging around them.

That means they're putting a lot of stress on themselves.

"To put it further, the rank that is currently set as the value of monsters. Perhaps many of these are lower than they are today."

"What? What does that mean?

Casalina asks me to take my word for it.

In response, I replied to trace the explanation earlier.

"So the answer and the reason are straightforward. Many of the monsters today are halved by the stress of the brave."

Casalina was simply astonished at my answer.

But she also nodded quietly to see if she had any idea.

"Well, what is the true meaning of the grazing that the Cocatrices here are doing?"

"Yes, it brings out the natural taste and flavor of many monsters, except for the stress of death and neighborhood that gives them absolute certainty of safety."

And so this grazing cocatolis came out.

Perhaps this is the true meaning and value of the Cocatrice.

Their current value as cooks is comparable even to B rank.

"By the way, in the same reasoning, Jack Au Lantern and his brothers are much more valuable as ingredients than wild ones. I'll prove that it's number one from your brother's field."

That said, Jack also pointed to himself as evidence of his evolution in this short period of time.

Looking at it, Casalina learns the secret of the taste of the pumpkin sauce by Jack Au Lantern earlier and shows that she was impressed by the technique of evolving the taste of the material itself.

"I see. One of the basilisk eggs that I prepared fell unknowingly from its original value."

Understanding everything and convinced, Casalina turns quietly to her apprentice, Phytis.

"Well done. I've looked into the creatures of the monsters, Fitz."

"... this is all thanks to Kyo-san. It was because Kyo dared to grow two kinds of cocatris in different environments."

No, I wasn't aiming for it, but don't dare push into it.

Casalina smiled as touched by Fitz's words and offered them to Fitness in front of her, as she did one day.

"Excellent. Fitness, the current lord will be able to do more than enough. Go and present your dishes to the Devil as his representative."

He received the words of the teacher, and Fitness also firmly gripped back the hand offered by the teacher.
