"This is all I've ever had."

We kept quiet before Felid finished talking.

Is that why this person used to look at me with envy?

We are convinced by the fact that he has heard some of the things that have bothered us so far.

Above all, the sincerity of the first word he said he wanted me to cultivate monsters.

I wonder how much it weighed.

"So you want that meme to come back to life?

"... to put it simply, that's how it is."

In response to Lily's confirmation, Felid leaned her face.

Certainly, if I cultivate monsters, I can also resuscitate the dead in the form of cultivation.

That said, the opponent is limited to monsters.

However, Mime, the parent of Ferido's upbringing, was transformed by Bahamut's ability to humanize. Then cultivation is possible. Nevertheless, there are things that are necessary to do it.

"Mr. Felid. One confirmation. Do you have any artifacts or anything from the Bahamas? I need to be part of her body, if I can."

Yes, I can't grow it unless it's the original one.

No matter how much I raised my level of monster cultivation, I couldn't produce anything from nothing.

Mo told me this before, but all I can do is create a new existence from it.

But now it was possible to produce it, not only as a mediator of the species, but also as a part of the monster.

"... yes"

So quietly Felid took it out of his pocket as a shiny jewel.

This is the jewel that came out of her remains when I killed Bahamut.

Gems. Probably made from inside the monster.

Some monsters in this world, especially dragons and animal monsters, sometimes produce these gems in their bodies instead of seeds.

I wonder if Bahamut was one of those monsters.

Either way. The gems taken from the body of the Bahamut were sufficient as an intermediary.

"I understand."

When I quietly received Felid's handed out jewelry, I firmly gripped it.

"Felid's desire to revive the Bahamut... no, I've been well conveyed. I promise I will grow Bahamut."

"Really! Thank you, Kyo!

When I declared, Felid stood up from the spot, clasped my hand, and thanked desperately.

He was too desperate to call himself a brave man, and he looked as if he were a 10-year-old.

"Well, this one will be able to grow SS ranked monsters safely. But let me ask you one thing. What would you do if you could reunite with that meme?

Again, in response to Lily's question, Felid thought about it.

Eventually, after a long silence, he answered quietly.

"... I don't know"

Lily and everyone in the room waited quietly for the answer.

"Should apologies come first, words of joy come first, or should we convey our gratitude so far? I don't know what to say. I just have a lot to tell her. There it is. The sin of killing her without saying it. No matter how ashamed I am of my ignorance, it doesn't change. Yeah, or maybe I just want her to scold me. I just want her to be alive. That's all I want."

"That's right...."

Lily nods to Felid's answer, staring somewhere far away.

Well, Lily used to have such a loved one.

Felid's feelings may have been something Lily held somewhere.

While thinking so, Lily quickly returned to her usual expression and smiled at her face.

"At best, you'll get mad at me. A man who grew up at the expense of himself, in such a pathetic way, Mime-san is amazing."

"... maybe."

Felid looked weak at Lily's light mouth.

Felid may have been a much more delicate and weak-minded person than I thought.

However, because I was such a person, I felt that I was able to grow up so far.

"Well, I won't do it now either. For the time being, I will concentrate on cultivating this Bahamut."

"Thank you, Kyo-kun. I'm not thanking you, but I'm staying near here for the time being. If someone like Tsurugi comes after you and your people today, I can help you, so stay with me."

I am delighted by the unexpected strengthening of the line from Ferido.

Certainly, Tsurugi's wonders have not yet disappeared.

No, from what he looks like, it's possible he'll be after Luna again soon. It would not be pleasant to have Felid at that time.

I gave back the promise from Felid with a handshake, but rather rented out an empty room in my house.
