It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"What the hell is this...?"

I leaked such a word without knowing it.

Right now, in front of me is a boy with a face that looks like Shin.

Earlier, I expressed myself as two melons, but when I looked closely, there were differences in hair type and body skeleton.

However, I still looked so much alike that I could not imagine the imagination of others, and I aggressively thought of the word "brother".

"... no way"

With that in mind, I asked Manticore who stood behind me.

"Who is this kid? Why are you hiding this kid?

…………

Manticore doesn't answer my questions.

The reply that came back instead was a different one.

"Cure the child. You should be able to fix it."

It's like I'm a doctor or something.

I hate it, but I'm a very lonely person about medical care.

I only know about general medical knowledge in the original world.

And why would he say I can fix it?

I was given an unexpected answer to such a question.

"I know you're a peculiar creature that can produce monsters. You can use that ability to create a monster that can heal the child, or a monster that has such a cure in it."

Why do you think I'm a monster grower?

Even though I doubt it, I can cure the sick. But...

"I can't. How dare you create such a convenient monster in such a desert cave. If it wasn't for those monster seeds, eggs, or carcasses or anything...."

And the moment I talked, Manticore jumped into the corner of this hall.

I thought I had something hidden in that place in my mouth, and I dropped it before me.

"... seeds, eggs, and carcasses of monsters taken from this desert. If that's the case, we'll have a problem."

There were cactus balls, killer scorpions, sand rats and other monster carcasses that I had never seen before, as well as various species and eggs.

"How did you collect this?

"This is my nest. If you're a nest, you'll always have something to feed you. As far as the most seeds are concerned, the number is small because they have just been collected the other day."

Sure. It's no wonder we keep other monster carcasses and eggs for food.

But the fact that he knew me was not because he met me by accident today, but because he knew me from before.

Then how the hell did you know?

Though such a question arose, I once again threw up a more shocking line than Manticore so as to interfere with my thinking.

"Above all, now you're carrying a monster called the Almighty cure. I'll do whatever it takes to use it."

The words made me feel frozen in my spine.

The all-purpose cure I have with me, the Mandragola Dora.

As soon as I heard the line, Dora in my chest felt scared.

"Wait, I'm not going to use Dora. I've decided since the first time I met him that I wouldn't let him use anything."

Yes, it was the day this child was first born.

It's an oath I made from the day I was threatened with giving it to both of you.

When she heard my voice, Dora looked up at me in her chest.

"... then do something about it. Let me know if there's anything missing. I'll get you what you need to grow as much as I can."

That's how the manticore moves to the only exit in this space and sits there blocking it.

Okay, what's going on?

Fortunately, the cave has several holes in the ceiling, and there are many places where sunlight is leaking.

The monsters will grow under it.

As far as the ground is concerned, it's not the same as where I grew it the other day.

If you ask Manticore to procure clay, you will also be able to farm clay dumplings.

But the question is what monsters to grow.

I checked the condition of the fallen boy.

Now she seems to be asleep and unconscious, but her breathing is shallow and her complexion is poor.

I can clearly see that it is weakened by some cause.

Once this is cured, we still need to create monsters that are quite therapeutic.

But when I saw the monster Manticore gave me earlier, it didn't seem like there were any monsters among them that could be a cure.

"... Master. I am ready to dedicate myself to you at any time for your master's sake. If there's no other way, you can use me."

Dora declared it with a smile, but I didn't miss that her body was trembling slightly.

"--It's okay, Dora. I will never let Dora-chan die."

As I said earlier, I take the oath.

Even if this were to happen to me, I would never do it alone.

Still, it is important to check here on the ecology of Mandragora.

It seems that Mandragora's potency as a panacea is contained in the body part.

This means that if you use Mandragora as a panacea, there is no alternative to killing it.

It seems that the taste of the body part of Mandragola, which is regarded as exquisite, resembles chicken.

Well, I don't plan to eat it for the rest of my life.

Lily also told me that while Mandragora is a botanical monster, its structure is similar to that of an animal monster.

It seems that there are not many monsters with these botanical and animal characteristics.

Dolly, a friend of Jesus', is also a monster with two characteristics: a tree in the lower body and a human and an animal in the upper body.

Considering this, it may not be difficult to create monsters with the characteristics of animal monsters while being these plant-type monsters.

"... wait, is that right?"

The moment I thought about it, I came to a strange idea.

Recently, I succeeded in getting various monster species and eggs together.

At that time, Jack Au Lantern and watermelon, as well as the killer plant, were all composite plants.

For another killer plant and cocatris complex, it is only an evolutionary method of having cocatris eggs laid in the trees of the killer plant.

And what I was about to do.

That is, the act of creating a monster that mixes the characteristics of an animal monster and a plant-type monster.

Now, Mandragora could be called the representative.

They are a kind of monster with two attributes, animal and plant, but their potency is included in the body part as a panacea.

But if we can give that effect not to their physical parts, but to the parts of the plant that are not harmful, such as flowers on the head.

Dora-chan, may I have a moment? Can I ask you a favor and have a flower with that head?

Dora looks a little surprised at my request.

"Eh, a flower on your head? Of course it's okay then. As I may have said before, the flowers on my head are not a panacea...."

"It's okay. If you do what I think you're gonna do, Dora-chan's gonna take care of it."

I'm sorry to say that, but Dora gave me a flower with her head, but I didn't mind.

All you need is a piece of Mandragora's body.

Using that as a basis to give their potency as a panacea not to the body, but to a part of the body, a part of the plant that has been eaten many times and has no effect on the body. Produce such monsters.

If that's possible, you should be able to safely take the panacea without killing Mandragora, a panacea.

If it was true, it was meant to be a combination of low-ranking animal and plant monsters such as cactus balls and killer scorpions, and then tried several times before moving on to practice, but I did not imagine that it would be tried with a precious monster called Mandragora from the beginning.

Moreover, once mandragora's head is harvested, it will take several weeks for it to grow again.

And Manticore here probably won't wait weeks to try again.

Literally bumped into the production.

This compound cultivation makes no sense unless it succeeds in one shot.

I picked up a monster that would take over Mandragora's traits from the monster Manticore placed earlier.

First of all, whether the base is Mandragola or this desert, we must choose the monster that will grow without a problem.

Because I mixed the seeds that grow in the harsh desert environment called karahari watermelon with my newly created Jack au Watermelon.

"... hmm? This is...."

In the process, I find a seed or egg that I'm not familiar with.

At first glance, it looks like gummies and also like a clear squid egg.

"Hey, what the hell is this?

Asking Manticore what he had in his hand, he answers.

It's a species of desert jellyfish.

Desert jellyfish.

That's what I had before I got caught in this manticore.

Was that a monster born of a species?

Yes, ask Manticore.

"When a desert jellyfish plants it in the sand, a clear body emerges from the species, which absorbs moisture, nutrients, and so on in the donkey. It swells up enough even with a little moisture, and eventually, as you get bigger, you stretch your grassy limbs out of the ground and take your prey."

I see. That's the ecosystem.

Does that mean that these desert jellyfish also have animal and plant type properties?

and ask again.

"Probably. I'm not familiar with the ecology of other monsters, but desert jellyfish are tentacles, limbs are plants. The body is considered an animal."

When I heard the description of the manticore, I had an image.

Well, with this blend...

"--Maybe we can go."

Mumble, I grab the seeds of desert jellyfish and Dora's flowers.

Ask Manticore one last thing before doing so.

"There's one thing I need to ask you before growing. If I save this kid, will you get us out of here?

"Of course. If you help her, you'll be safe, and I'll take you where you belong."

It's a quick answer without putting your hair in between, and I feel that there is no lie or falsehood in the assertion and nod.

The image has already been made. All you have to do is grow it that way.

I quickly planted the monster seeds I had on the ground.
