Chapter 936 – [Planet of the Beasts]
We ate dinner here as if we were having a grand party and took a good rest in an unfamiliar place.
Eden ate his fill and fell down as if he was not uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar bed. However, I had a hard time sleeping, but I couldn’t lie down because the bed was the size of a child’s.
Thanks to that, I was able to sleep with a futon on the floor, but……. Well, Eden is comfortable, so it’s bearable. It’s not like a body that would be ruined to the extent of sleeping in the first place.
The time zone here seems to be similar to Earth, so the day seems to be close to 24 hours. Thanks to this, I no longer have to suffer because my life pattern is broken due to the time difference in my body.
“Keeeee!!!!!”
“……No, just a loud rooster crow.”
It’s a beacon or something, it’s a creature that is treated as a chicken in this world, but it looks like it cries in the morning. However, the cry is thick and loud, completely different from that of a chicken.
Almost as much as the difference between a woman’s voice and a man’s voice.
Eden opened his eyes as if he had also woken up thanks to him. Since the facility here is a facility, I can’t wash my body, but I still got water in a mug so I could brush my teeth.
“Eden, I’m awake, so I need to brush my teeth”
“Aren’t you taking a shower?”
“How did you wash the cats, Eden?”
“…….Ah, that’s right. There’s no place to take a shower.”
“Different people live in different cultures. That’s why lifestyles are different, so there are no things we take for granted.”
“Um, that’s right”
Cats basically don’t wash themselves. No, even if you wash it, you just lick it, but it usually has a habit of not wanting to get wet.
The cat owners here didn’t have a place to wash because of their cat-like habits. Thanks to that, Eden and I are a little uncomfortable, but if you go to a more bustling city rather than a village, there will probably be.
If you feel uncomfortable, you can go and wash in a place like a river.
Eden and I brushed our teeth and washed our faces and prepared to eat. Mangmungi and Koyangi had woken up a long time ago, but they didn’t come back until it was time for us to leave the room.
“Zooin-nim!!!! There’s nothing bad, I came from walking around!!!”
“There is nothing. I am hungry. I want to eat.”
“Even if Mangmungi is like that, it seems like you just went out to drink.”
It was the same when I came, but it seems that animals here are not so unusual. Thanks to that, even if I go around with my kids, I’m glad it won’t attract attention.
I spoke to the innkeeper and ordered a grilled Beacon leg and two simple breakfasts for our meal.
First of all, one beacon leg was quite large and had a lot of flesh, so I took off the flesh appropriately, tore it into small pieces, gave it to Kkoyang, and gave the rest along with the bones to Mangmungi. Both of them eat well while chewing on each other.
And the breakfast we ordered was like fish cake udon without noodles.
“Ah!!!! This is delicious!!!!! It’s like udon!!!!”
“Isn’t it good that the broth is clear?”
“Uh!!!!”
The soup seems to be brewed with katsuobushi or something, and the contents are fish cakes, and not fried fish cakes, but steamed fish cakes. Thanks to this, it had a clean and light taste, so it was light and good to eat for breakfast.
No, on the other hand, it is good for hangover the next day after drinking. They are sold as breakfast at the inn, so on the other hand, there must be something made for that purpose.
After eating plenty of fish cakes with no noodles, we were preparing to leave when someone knocked on our door. Listening to the distinctive sound of boots, it seems to be Charles.
“Worst-sama, Lady Eden, are you awake? I’m about to leave.”
“Yes, I’m ready”
We, who came out with Charles, prepared to depart.
Ah, come to think of it, I didn’t tell you the destination, but we follow Charles to the capital of the Kartsi kingdom. I want to see the bustling civilization here, and if I go there, I’m sure I’ll be able to see other races besides the cat beastman like Charles.
To be honest, I have no other purpose. If so, to the extent that Eden sells an elemental on the way?
But not in a hurry This is because the presence of the spirit can be felt from the nearest Charles. I thought it was probably not an ordinary cat beastman since he said he was a knight, but he had mastered this ability.
“Which means of transportation do you use?”
“I’m going on a chariot pulled by Otridge. Oh, but since it’s a chariot used by Cartsy, it might be inconvenient for Worst-sama.”
“That’s it, let’s try to be patient.”
Anyway, I decided to accept the inconvenience from the difference in body size from sleeping at the inn yesterday. Since Eden is still a child, there is not much difference in body size from them, so it’s okay, but I feel uncomfortable because I have to use things and facilities tailored to the people here.
Well, on the other hand, that is also the beauty of travel. Besides, it’s much newer and better than just looking around at a normal human-centered civilization.
I came down to the first floor to start the trip in earnest. And Charles checks out by paying the price to the innkeeper.
I studied the money he gave to the innkeeper. It’s because I’m curious about what kind of currency is used here.
And the currency he used was a white, round seed-like object.
“Since the price has been paid, let’s set off.
“Is the currency used here like the fruit of that tree?”
“Ah, you mean the seeds of the white calendula? Yes, we use the seeds of the white calendula as currency in the Katshi kingdom.”
“I see… But if you use things like plant seeds as currency, aren’t there some people who can grow their numbers by cultivating them?”
“The seeds of the white quince tree can only be grown by the royal family. White seeds can come out thanks to the power of the spirit passed down through a contract with the royal family. It just bears fruit, so unless you want to grow it, you don’t plant it intentionally.”
“Then, what if we painted the seeds of ordinary sage white and used them?”
“Forgery of currency is tantamount to insulting the royal family, so after being arrested, the circumstances will be identified, and if the counterfeit is the case, the death penalty will be imposed.”
“Hmm……”
It’s a country made by cats, but it’s working surprisingly well. In particular, it was quite interesting that the ruling class, the royal family, had the right to mint.
If a social organization grows, the currency or money used there is inevitably needed. There is a limit to barter exchange. However, the most problematic issue was counterfeit currency.
Counterfeit bills are a major problem on Earth as well. However, only limited people with special abilities can make money here, so it is even more impossible to counterfeit than on Earth.
Anyway, when I came out of the inn, in front of the inn, there was a carriage, or even a chariot, pulled by a large bird.
“Wow!!!! It’s a big bird!!!! Is it an ostrich?”
“Kwawak!!!!!”
Almost like an ostrich… No, is it an ostrich? I can feel the presence of a little spirit, but the overall appearance is similar to that of an ostrich. However, it is about 1.5 times larger than a normal ostrich.
“Outridges are the main means of transportation in the Kartsi Kingdom. They are blessed by the wind spirit, so they can run very fast and are strong.”
“Ohh”
To be honest, I wondered if it was a means of transportation that cats use, but it was so heavy that I couldn’t move it when I rode it, but I don’t think I would be worried if a bird that big was pulling it. Besides, if it’s an animal that can use supernatural powers, it won’t be a problem to attract not one or two people, but ten people.
Did you say that the wagon is a cat beast, that is to say, Kartsi? It was tailored to their size, so I had to crouch down to enter. Even so, the seating area was narrow, so I had to squat down on the floor.
What should I say……. Feels like the ferris wheel part of a small ferris wheel? However, thanks to this, there was no place for Mangmungi to ride, even if he did not know Koyangi.
“I’m sorry, Mangmung, but you have to run and chase me. Is that okay?”
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!!!! I also like to run, big jjouin-nim!!!!”
“Oh, it’s nice that Mangmung is always positive”
Originally, dogs are such creatures… But are there any kids like dogs? If you ask us to introduce us as Southern Aif, or if you look at the Aif, it seems that there are apes and monkeys.
In any case, the manggung made the truck run and follow him. He wanted to be tired, but the battle suit Elizabeth had made for him was not the kind of body that would get tired just from running, so he could have run faster than even this one.
If you think about it, I don’t think it would be worse to put a leash on a leash than Otridge.
However, even after arriving at the capital, we will be traveling, but it seems inconvenient to continue using such a small carriage. It would be better to make a wider carriage by making a custom order separately.
………Ah, but we don’t have any money here. They don’t seem to use much of precious metals like gold, so how can they get something to exchange?
Let’s think about it slowly. We still don’t know the culture of this place properly, so we don’t even know what to do to make money. At least I haven’t even visited the market here, so how would I know? So let’s put it off for a little while.
“By the way, Mr. Charles. It seems that Mr. Charles can also handle the power of the spirits, is that correct?”
“Ah, of course. All knights of the kingdom, large or small, can use the power of the spirits. In the first place, the condition of being a knight is to use the power of the spirits.”
“Hoo”
“I made a contract with the fire spirit. In the royal capital, there is no Kartsi who doesn’t know about Charle of the Flame Sword!”
Cat and fire, to be honest, I don’t think they get along.
However, it didn’t seem like normal spirit magic. If he had made a contract with the spirit directly, the spirit would have borrowed from Eden’s affinity.
No, it’s a little strange in the first place. While Eden is wandering around like this, there is no spirit coming to see Eden? Even though you can manifest without much power by demonstrating the affinity of the walking spirit world?
“How do I make a contract with the spirit?”
“Oh, that’s all you need to do is visit the sanctuary of the spirits. Originally, the spirits only appear there. If you like the spirits there, you can make a contract.”
“Then you can’t directly manifest the spirit?”
“Yes? It’s not a sanctuary, but it’s very difficult and difficult to directly manifest a spirit. I’ve heard that some of the heroes that have been passed down as legends of the kingdom have done that, but at least I haven’t seen anyone like that until my grandfather’s generation.”
“Hmm……”
Just as different people have different cultures, different worlds have different spirits.
Well, there are some spirits with good personalities, and there are also places where they’re not good enough. Some spirits are talking spirits, but there are also people who walk around like natural disasters, so when you meet them, it’s a national rule to jump out or kill them.
Fortunately, if the condition was that the knights of the kingdom even sign a contract, the spirit was not that kind of a dog. First of all, spirits are pure, good or bad, so I was worried, but it seemed okay.
“Well?”
As we were passing the time talking about this and that, suddenly, Charles pricked his ears and reacted to something.
Then, grabbing something like a toy sword from his waist and pulling it out, he looked out the window and looked out.
“It looks like an uninvited guest has come. Heavy footsteps and low cries… It looks like a crezuli.”
“Creezuli?”
When I checked with my gut feeling, they were roughly like giant bears. However, it was not the kind of bear you would only see in a zoo, but a huge bear with the size of a polar bear.
Even a half-moon bear at Jirisan Mountain is threatening enough to humans, but you don’t have to imagine what it would be like for a bear much bigger than that. Normally, it was a situation where you would have to run away with all your might.
“Please wait for a while as I will take care of it. And I will also take this opportunity to tell you why I am called Charle of the Flame Sword!!!!”
Spiritual power flowed from the sword Charles pulled out, and sparks began to rise at the same time. Quite hot, but despite the heat, his beard or hair didn’t get scorched in the slightest.
Soon, a huge bear comes out of the forest. As it is, he attacks and attacks Otridge, who is leading our wagon.
“Cook it !!!!!”
“Where is this guy!!!!!”
Kuwaang!!!!
As Charles swung his sword, sparks flew and an explosion occurred. As a result, the bear-like animal called Crizuli, which was about to attack us, fell out of its huge body.
It is quite powerful. As if he wasn’t proud to be a famous knight of a kingdom for nothing, it seemed that with that level of strength, he wouldn’t be pushed back by fighting even the top masters of the other side of the earth.
However, unlike the power of the explosion, Crizzuli’s leather’s durability or fat absorbs the shock, growling and immediately hostile to Charles.
“Ah!!!! It’s a bear!!!!!”
“Queong?”
At that time, Eden stuck his head out the window and shouted, and Crizzuli’s reaction when he found Eden changed to cute.
Eden’s affinity is manifested here again. The guy who tried to attack us instantly became docile and behaved like a bear in a zoo.
Charles, who was about to fight, put on a bewildered expression when he saw Crizzuli. If the opponent you were about to fight suddenly becomes friendly, everyone will react that way.
“No, what the hell happened?”
“Eden is bizarrely popular with animals. Maybe that’s why I, Crizzuli, was also influenced by that kind of Eden?”
“The power of the Eden Lady is really amazing……You can make that Creezuli who is known for being violent be calm.”
Cree Julie sits up and wags his front paw to Eden with a bear bang! I was saying hello. Eden got off the wagon and ran towards Crizzuli and hugged her tightly.
It feels like seeing a child holding a giant teddy bear. But the problem is that even teddy bears are not as cute as teddy bears, but are realistic.
“Bear, but why did you attack us?”
“Kwong, kuow”
“Mmmm, that’s right”
“I’m sorry……”
Eden was talking to Chris Julie about something, and she came over here and told me.
“The bear has cubs, and I wanted to feed them.”
“Well… That can’t be helped. Everyone has no choice but to do that when it comes to survival.”
The weak meat, survival of the fittest. That is the law of the wild in which animals live. In order to live, they had no choice but to eat and live.
If we hadn’t had the power to defeat Crizzuli, wouldn’t it have been eaten… Animals that tasted human blood in the first place should be killed before they do any more damage.
“Eden, would you like to ask the bear if he has eaten anyone else?”
“Have you ever eaten someone else’s bear?”
“Kooooong, kuoong, kuooooong”
“I’ve never eaten. I was only going to eat ostrich.”
Oh, then it’s barely safe.
It’s been quite a while, but I’ve let the mother of a fox named Dangdang that I raised before die. Even though he was able to save her, that’s because he hurt and killed people.
It’s a bit like putting the same lives on the scales, but it can’t be helped because human lives are more important than animal lives. Animals that harmed people had to be killed in consideration of future problems.
“What is the Lady of Eden saying?”
“Crisjuli says no one else has ever eaten it.”
“Well…If I had heard the news that they ate Kartsi around here, I’m sure it would have reached my ears. It seems like they were wandering around looking for food, but if the conversation goes well, I think I can just skip it.”
“May I?”
“Because it’s best not to touch the ecosystem. Predators like Crizzuli are needed so herbivores don’t reproduce excessively, so that’s why.”
Charles’ words were the right theory. Even if the human beings on Earth were only half of him, they would not have to worry about environmental problems.
“But it’s strange. Originally, I remember that the main habitat of the crizuli was not here, but a little farther away. Why is the crizuli here…”
Then, I heard the sound of something fighting in the distance. There’s also a dog growling. In response, I looked for the gongmung who was following behind the wagon, but the gongmung was not there.
And the fighting stopped. The only thing that seemed to come to a conclusion was the sound of something running this way.
Soon, what appeared in the forest was a gigantic Earth Dragon and a goblin who had bitten and dragged the Earth Dragon by its neck.
“Heh heh heh, Zuin-nim!!!! You caught the bad guy!!! Praise me!!!!”
He didn’t lift a guy that was several times his own body, but dragged it casually while dragging it on the ground. In the first place, if the sound was heard during the battle, it would have been settled in just a few seconds.
“No!!!! That’s Kharizard, blessed by the earth spirit!!!! How could that be a monster with a hard skin like steel?!”
It seemed that the mangmonggi had caught a really good guy.
Ah!!!! The body performance of the manggung is certain!!!!
