It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"Master. Are you all right, sir?

"Oniichan... Kohon. Brother, it seems we have successfully escaped from the Albours Empire, but how will we proceed?

"... that's right."

On the back of Rock who became seamless, Hell and Dora answered me carelessly.

I still couldn't organize my feelings about what happened at the Empire Castle.

In the middle of a meeting to rescue the hostage Lily, Fitness and Amaness were taken away.

Now I resent the sweetness of my nails.

Until now, Casalina and Amaness were my closest associates, my father and mother.

That's why I was able to set up a place for some discussion and trust.

But he's a very different man from the Emperor Brave.

The strength to go through your own self without even having to resort to it for a purpose. I was wrong to be alert to a man called the Emperor from the beginning.

One of the reasons is that my life in the other world has been slow life.

I underestimated what the next event would be like.

This is a different world. It's a world I don't know about, with laws, society, and order and domination.

I should have been more aware of that.

"Either way, we should rest somewhere and plan our future operation, brother."

"Sure, that's right...."

"Then, Master, why don't you go home once?

"Home...?

I overheard Dora's words and remembered them.

Yes, the city and the shack that I visited for the first time since I came to this other world.

I think that's where I started in this world, where I met Lily and decided to raise the monster.

It feels kind of nostalgic like it was a long time ago, and there is a nostalgic wind blowing into the heart that was sinking until then.

"... I see. It's been a long time. If I go over there, I might come up with something."

"Yes, that's right! I've been producing a lot of ideas, and I've been through them every time, and it's okay again!

"Oniichan's house... Uh-huh, I'm a little interested, too."

Well then, it's settled. Brother, let's go home for the first time in a while. "

As I nodded to everyone's voice, I instructed Rock to return to the city where Lily and the others were.

Without knowing what's waiting for you there.

"Master! I can see the city!

Dragged by Dora-chan's voice, the moment I looked ahead, there was a city that I knew about.

It's been a long time since I've been back here.

How is Mina? She returned to the city after the culinary confrontation at the Demon King Castle, but perhaps it would be better if she stopped by to say hello.

Then I thought about showing my face to the lord for the first time in a long time, and the moment I approached my home for the first time in a long time, I saw it.

"? What, that?

It is the appearance of smoke rising into the sky.

Covering in front of me, it stood like fog, creating dark clouds in the sky, a symbol of evil.

And the culprit who is making that smoke. I saw something red coming up from where we were aiming.

"... you're kidding...?

Flames.

What was there was a view of everything burning red.

Far above the sky, I saw the house where we lived under our eyes wrapped in flames.

It used to be a shabby house that wasn't suitable for living. But I liked it there.

When the wind blows, the boards burst, and when it rains, the water leaks, but living in such a shabby shop is a place where everyone wants to try it once as a child.

That's why I asked the people of the city to replace the borehole with a new wooden house in as much form as possible.

It's a warm wooden house, and I'm the only one in town who helped me.

It was on fire.

"... what is this...?"

I stood in front of the burning house under my eyes and gazed at the sight, but Jack, who also stood here, told me more shocking facts.

"Brother, it's not just the house... look at that."

Looking at Jack's way of pointing, there was a burnt field that had already been burned by fire.

Only burnt charcoal and ash fill the ground.

And that was where I grew the monster.

"... you gotta be kidding me..."

I approached that burnt field in fear.

There were monsters that I would have raised in ashes.

I don't know how many monsters were sacrificed, but at least we can see that some of the ones who fled late have turned ash.

I grabbed the ash in my hand without knowing it and grabbed it without strength.

"... who did this to you..."

In the current situation, my thoughts stopped, and the voice of a man I heard from behind pulled me back to reality.

"Apparently, you're the culprit who created the monster here."

I turned to that familiar voice and reacted unexpectedly.

"... My lord?

Yes, it was the lord of this city, whom I knew.

He stood behind us with multiple soldiers looking down at us.

"... did the Lord do this? Why are you doing this?!

"Why? It's settled. Monsters are harmful to people. It's only natural to crush it."

That's what the lord said as a matter of course.

His eyes were too cold and hostile to look at.

"Why... all the monsters raised here were accepted by everyone in the city! The lord asked me to lay a cocatrice egg! And why?!

I accidentally grabbed the hardened egg at my feet and threw it at the lord.

But the Lord who saw it responded incredibly.

"What are you talking about? I don't remember asking for such a thing. I should have met you first."

"... I see..."

The lord's eyes were never lying, and he only recognized me as the "enemy" of his first encounter.

Looking at that, I felt the worst possible.

"It is obvious that you are the culprit who created the monster here, beyond bringing the monster with you. You were trying to invade the city based here, but we can't let you imitate it. You will be caught here if you would have produced a monster."

The lord gave instructions to the soldiers behind him, but before that, Hell, who was next to me, took my hand and ran.

"Oniichan! Let's get out of here!

We flee toward the city to be pulled by Hell.

We made a breakthrough at once for the soldiers in front of us, and we left the scene to break down as it was.

On the way, the soldiers who followed us attacked us several times, but Jack, Hell, or Rock kicked them out and we managed to escape to the city alley.

What's going on? What should I do now?

Such a cluttered thought rushed around my head, and a voice sounded as if I had thought of something about Dora.

"Yes! Master! Let's go to Mina's once! I'm sure Mina will hide your husband!

"Mina-chan...?

Yes, there was a girl in this city.

I nodded at Dora's words and started moving to Mina's restaurant.

Move away from the alley and manage to get to Mina's shop.

Fortunately, there were no soldiers near the cafeteria, so we rushed straight into Mina's cafeteria.

"I'm sorry, Mina! Help me, please! I don't know, but it looks like something's going on in this city!

When she opened the door and saw us entering in a hurry, Mina stunned her body in surprise, and at the next moment, she fell back with a scary expression.

Mina-chan? Oh, yeah, sorry about the sudden. But actually, the house on the hill was burned, and then the field where the monsters were growing was burned, and there was nowhere else to go. The Lord seems to be acting strange, so.... "

Mina said incredible words to me to apologize and explain.

"Ah, you... who are you?

"... eh?

What are you talking about, Mina?

As soon as I tried to say that, Mina-chan's unlikely dialogues popped out.

"Well, what are you going to do with my restaurant with the monster?! So, get out! Get out!!

Mina-chan's screaming expression clearly looked scared.

The moment I saw it, I felt my chest tightened somewhere.

"... I see, even Mina-chan"

You did it. Though the feeling spread to my chest, I couldn't feel like hitting Mina.

Rather, she is on the involved side. The victim, so to speak.

I apologize to her for judging that I would only bother her by questioning her any more.

"I'm sorry... but I'll take care of it soon"

Huh?

For a moment, Mina was staring at me like she remembered something.

"Hey, Mina. How about dinner tonight?

I said, I saw someone come in the store.

We start moving instantly and leave the shop by mistake with the person.

As soon as I left the store, I felt like I was told something about the person's shoulders bumping into each other, but now we were leaving the restaurant to avoid Mina's involvement as soon as possible. At the same time, I was thinking about the culprit who caused this.

Emperor Brave Rostam.

This is definitely his fault.

You've been looking into me since before that meeting, and you've been making requests to the meeting room from the beginning.

In other words, they were quite willing to set it up here from the beginning.

You did it. But this is too much to do.

I couldn't allow Mina-chan to get involved.

I ran along with my friends into the woods, but what was in my chest was anger at me for reaching out to my friends more than despair.

"Could it be... Kyo? What happened to him when he panicked?

"... do you know each other? Tom."

"What? What are you talking about, Mina? He was a goose, Mina. He took care of him a lot. Repeat what he's talking about every time. What, you had a fight today?

"... Kyo-san..."

There seemed to be a hole in Mina's heart that murmured.

It feels like you've forgotten something important.

However, Mina murmured the name again with the boy's face earlier. Kyo.
