It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

The first impression I saw was that I didn't like him.

"Happy 10th birthday to Miss Fitz."

Well, if you're a coral lady, you can look forward to the future.

My house was a nobleman of considerable fame, and I was born as a mark of it. In this age, the inheritance was the inheritance of the position, male or female.

That's why I was learning the behavior and character that I deserved as my daughter.

A boxed girl who knows nothing else and has never done anything by herself.

I wasn't aware of it at the time, but I was bored and pushed myself to death.

I wonder if walking on the rails that have been prepared since the birth of this kind of person is a life that is admired for nothing but nobility.

But my father didn't think so.

It was all the titles of nobility that I was born with, and I didn't see any value other than to have my lineage succeeded.

The evidence and the role my father expected of me was to create a kinship by engagement to the royal family.

In other words, it was to secure a position in a more aristocratic society, and to that end, it invited royalties who were using my birthday party.

"This is what I've been waiting for, Albrice royalty."

It was a group of Albris imperial nobles who were still small nations at the time.

There were a bunch of sons who were supposed to be the next emperor's candidates, and there were several children of my age from young men.

"Lord Coral. Over the past few years, I have heard of the Lord's activities. More and more brave men have emerged these days, especially by the bravery system, but it is the status that we were born into in this world, and I would very much like you to help us, Sir, to prosper for eternity in the future."

"Of course. But in order to do that, I hope my Coral family builds a deeper relationship with the Albrus Empire...."

"Of course, it's both here and in consideration. That's why I brought my son and Sir's daughter together."

I wasn't sure at the time, but a slightly older boy standing in front of me with such a parental conversation opened his mouth.

"Oh, I see. Are you the daughter of the Coral family, Miss Fitz?"

Even now I can't remember the gaze that makes this place worthwhile.

What was even more annoying was not to look around afterwards.

"That's a good identity. Born as a noble lady without any hardship or activity, this luxurious party just celebrated its birthday. I wonder how many citizens' blood taxes were paid for this wasted party of yours."

I can still remember the remark when I suddenly opened my mouth to someone who seemed more like his parents and the air froze.

That's why I didn't mean to say anything back.

"Yes, it's sudden! You're rude! I can't let you talk to me like that on my birthday!

"Well, I certainly don't blame you. You were only born lucky... no, unfortunately, as a noble lady. It wastes all the talent that should be polished by hardship. I just thought it was sad."

What's he talking about?

Unfortunate that you were born a nobleman? Well, I wanted to yell at you, but the other person's further insults fly through before I pinch my mouth.

"Looks like I'm here to get engaged to you today. Unfortunately, the future emperor does not intend to enter into an engagement with you. A decorative aristocracy of an ancient era with no hardship, no talent, no strength. I don't need such a thing. All we need in the future are people and jewels who shine with their own power. I'll use any means I can to drill them, but you won't even find it worth it right now. I was disappointed."

This was the first time I was told that I was so disappointed when I met him.

What an arrogant, fucking cheeky man this is.

Whatever happens next, I'll make him my enemy.

But at the same time, I made an oath.

I wonder who such a temperamental woman is. [M] That's why I shouted.

"You can't be disappointed! Then I will earn myself the status and title that I deserve! Look at that! I'll make sure I get the right title on my own! And I'll line up your shoulders next to people like you who don't look down on scum like you! Then I'll point you back at what you just said!

When I said that, I thought "I've lost" without thinking about the rough voices around me, but at the same time it was very refreshing. Until then, the moyamoya that I kept inside my chest disappeared.

When I saw that, the boy laughed for the first time and looked down at me as usual.

"Well then, at best, it's about polishing yourself. If you are worthy of being the emperor's fiancée in the future, I will welcome you."

"No!!

All I can remember is that I'm angry, and I'll never get along with that man.

Still, there's only one thing I appreciate about that man.

Had it not been for his curse there, I would have had a miserable life walking on the rail as it was born.

As a result, my encounter with him gave me the title of gourmet hero through my activities and experience, and a more powerful title than the title of aristocrat I was born with.

That was the story of the unpleasant encounter between me and him.

…………

Close to the window and look at the sky.

Cloudy sky unchanged from yesterday. Still, I hope for the sky.

At the very least, Kew and the others should be safe.

"You still don't have an appetite, Fitz."

The door opens with that voice, and the Emperor Rostam appears from behind.

He murmurs when he sees a meal placed on the table with few hands on it.

"... you don't deserve to eat such bad food. I'm a gourmet brave man, and I don't like to eat."

Above all, it is the difference between heaven and earth compared to the monster that Kyo-sama raised.

I noticed that my taste has evolved more than ever before. On the contrary, I just regretted that I couldn't eat the bad stuff.

"Well, I'm sorry about that. That's because there's nothing in our country comparable to the ingredients of that grower."

Have you read it in your mind?

I decide to ignore the reply, which makes me want to penetrate so much.

"Sometimes, I will soon enter a full-scale confrontation with the Demon King army. Our army has already formed a formation in front of Demon King Castle, and awaits tomorrow's command before moving on to a total assault. If the Demon King army disappears from this continent, we humans will be able to live in peace and hunt monsters more freely than ever."

Oh, yeah.

I wonder if it will be destroyed if we go back in retribution.

Yes, if you think about it, you've read it too, and the Emperor's lips smile "fufu".

"That said, tomorrow's duel will probably not be a battle at Demon King Castle, but a fierce battle at this Imperial Castle."

What are you talking about, this guy?

Unexpectedly, turning to Rostam, there was a smile from the boy that was unusual for him and inflated his expectations as if he had found something interesting.

"Kyo, is that you? That's all you expected. His temperament to come straight to me without breaking is truly brave. That's why I have to do everything I can against him."

"... is Kyo-san safe?

Rostam nods quietly to my question.

"I'm fine. And perhaps he will come tomorrow to settle down here. To settle with me."

"... Master Kyo..."

Is it to save me, or is it for Lily, or is it for this emperor?

No, probably all of them. Kyo-sensei is the one I admitted to wrapping up all this nonsense and finally getting rid of it.

Look at my smile or Rostam smiles in a good mood.

"Rest assured, Fitness. Whatever the outcome of tomorrow's battle, you'll be free when it's done. Leave this castle, go to Kew and do whatever you want."

That's how Rostam tried to leave, and I took an unexpected turn and stopped him.

"Well, wait. Weren't you after me? Make me yours... Even so, if I can use your abilities, I can do whatever I want....."

Rostam answered my question as if it were natural.

"What are you talking about? You're saying it's a distraction to take what you want by force. Above all, I told you a long time ago. If you had been a woman worthy of me, I would have welcomed you as my fiancé. But if I catch you like this, you don't deserve me right now, so I don't mind discarding your engagement."

That's how Rostam tries to leave the door.

I realized the sincerity of his remarks, but at that time I asked another thing that bothered me.

"Wait. Dismiss your engagement... does that mean your brother knows about it?

That's where Rostam turns his strange face for the first time.

"? Why does my brother's name appear here?

"Eh...? I mean, you, back then..."

Now I looked strangely at the Rostam's reply.

Rostam glanced at me slightly, then turned his back and walked out the door.

I was staring at the door where the Rostam disappeared, and I was beginning to realize something.

"... Rostam. Are you...?"
