Chapter 98 – Outing to the Zoo (2)
It was said that only rare animals were collected, so there was definitely a lot to see.
Now that various worlds have merged.
The worlds that have been merged like that are only slightly different from each other’s world, and while there are worlds that feel strange, like so-called parallel worlds, there are also worlds where everything is completely different.
For example, lizardmen are classified as one of a different race.
As a result of research, they call themselves Dragonia, and it is known that they are the evolution of dinosaurs that became extinct a long time ago in the world I lived in.
Anyway, as many worlds mixed together, such a world was bound to exist.
A world where there were no beings that could be called humans.
Things like the world of animals and beasts.
The zoo, which collects all the animals of the world and has an artificial ecosystem adjusted in each area to match the ecosystem in which the creatures originally lived, was truly like a culmination of many worlds gathered in one place.
There was no way there wouldn’t be something to see in a place like this.
Even if you didn’t have to see the animals, the zoo itself was like a tourist attraction.
Thanks to this, I was able to see animals that I was wondering if I should call them enemies or against whom I had a personal grudge.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you touch it? “It’s cute.”
“I hate rats.”
Especially the rat that emits electricity.
Even if we exclude Bella, who is a wererat and a westerner, she only has the characteristics of a rat. I just fucking hated rats.
“Is that so? “It’s so cute… But it’s a shame.”
Cracking, crackling.
Lilith and Hoaran said that while petting the rat cubs, which barely gave off electricity, probably because they were still cubs, but they had no intention of petting those cubs even if they were dead.
What good do these guys who are one of the culprits who made me unemployed for two years…
“…It does look kind of cute, though.”
It was cute and fluffy, but I still didn’t want to touch it.
Those two were touching it as if it was nothing, but I also saw other people who touched it because they said it was okay to touch them and were severely hit by the stinging electricity.
Unless he had an erection, it was clear that if I, who had the physical ability of an ordinary human being, touched it, something would happen.
“Anyway, let’s move on to the next step.”
I looked to see what was next, and saw a familiar name.
“What’s next?”
“Was it cute?”
“No, depending on the person, some people find it cute…”
I saw the names of animals that most people thought were shit.
In my world, it was commonly seen on the streets, but perhaps because the world had changed, it had failed badly to adapt, so its name was written along with an explanation that it was in danger of extinction.
What a strange name.
“Let’s skip this.”
“Why?”
“Is there any reason?”
“It smells a bit strong.”
Seeing the two of them nodding their heads, saying, “If that’s what I said, there’s nothing I can do,” I skipped what I said and looked for the next one, and found the name Unicorn written down.
And, there was a photo attached.
I saw a pure white horse with stylish horns. Seeing that there were many other animals with horns of various kinds, I thought it was a place where animals with one horn, as the name suggests, were gathered together.
“Hey, it’s interesting to see a horse with horns.”
Next to me, Lilith looked at the pamphlet I was holding and said that.
I said this to Lilith.
“Your mother has horns too.”
“Noisy.”
My side was pinched.
When Lilith saw me writhing in so much pain, she turned her head in excitement.
Hoa-ran, who saw me and came over to ask if I was okay, also looked at my pamphlet and said,
“That’s a pretty horse.”
It was definitely pretty.
A pure white horse with pure white horns, it’s really cool.
“Then, let’s go see this.”
I passed by the area where the strange creatures were trapped and headed straight to where the unicorns were, and there were quite a lot of people there.
I wondered why it was like that, but I soon found out why.
Hee hee-“
Because I saw a lot of white horses called unicorns and unicorns that I saw in the picture.
When I saw it in person, it was bigger than a normal horse and its horns were much longer, so it was a really cool horse.
It looked like a horse that heroes would only see in mythology.
Perhaps because of its appearance, it seemed to be very popular.
Moreover, when I looked closely, I saw a unicorn approaching several people, sticking out its head, and allowing them to stroke its head.
Looking at the children, women, and men squealing while stroking the heads of such unicorns, they seemed to be extremely calm animals.
“Let’s go!”
“Hmm, it seems to be a quieter creature than it looks.”
Lilith and Hoaran said that after looking at those people.
If there were animals that could be touched, these two were quick to touch them and see them.
Now that I’ve found out that they both like petting cute animals and things like that.
When I saw Hoaran, whose face clearly said he wanted to touch the unicorn as soon as possible, and Lilith, whose shoulders were shaking even if she pretended not to, I quickly took a step forward.
How close did it get like that?
Except for the unicorns that were approaching a few people and being cute, all the unicorns that were quietly grazing on grass were seen raising their heads and looking in this direction.
What.
Suddenly, I wondered what this was, and I saw them all rushing towards me and poking their heads at Lilith and Hoaran.
Hee hee…!”
Hee hee!”
Since there were dozens of unicorns, naturally, all eyes were drawn in this direction.
“W-what is it?”
“I’m not sure, but it seems like he’s very good at following people.”
The two of them were a little embarrassed, but when they saw the unicorns sticking their heads in as if they were cutely asking for a pat on the head, they reached out and started stroking the heads of the unicorns.
“Hey… The fur is soft.”
“The horns are really pretty too.”
Lilith and Hoaran muttered that while stroking their manes and horns.
I’m not sure, but I could see the unicorns being petted by those two people making expressions that made them feel like they were about to die.
What is it, really?
“Hanzo, you should come and pet it too. “They are very well-behaved children.”
“Me too?”
“Okay, go ahead and touch it.”
Because Hoa-ran said so…
I approached it because I wanted to touch it too.
“Puruk…!”
“Puhheheng!”
The unicorns are scared and back away.
“Uh…”
Suddenly, I saw unicorns looking at me as if they were some kind of filth and then retreating.
Except for the unusually large unicorn that Lilith was petting, most of the unicorns had retreated, and she whetted her appetite.
“…Aren’t there still some left? “At least touch that child.”
Hoa-ran suggested that I touch the unicorns, and then said that while looking embarrassed at the unicorns’ sudden flight.
Seeing Hoaran with an apologetic look on his face, I said to Lilith, who was still petting the remaining unicorn.
“Mom, let me touch that too.”
“Huh? Well, okay.”
At my words, Lilith obediently moved out of the way.
And, when I saw a unicorn that didn’t run away when I approached it, unlike other unicorns, I thought I could touch it.
“Purrrrva!”
Why does phlegm suddenly make a boiling sound?
I wonder if it hurts somewhere.
I thought so,
“Phew!”
A unicorn spitting phlegm in my face.
With a bang, I said,
It was a unicorn that even hit me in the face with its spit through the iron bars.
Thanks to this, a lot of sticky phlegm ended up on my face.
I couldn’t understand what had happened to me, but soon the smell of the unicorn’s spit came up and a sense of reality began to dawn on me.
That fucking guy?
When I glared at him, the guy who was sticking his tongue out as if asking something, purred, then turned around and started running back to the group.
“Karyu! Hehe!”
And that too, while spitting heavily on the ground.
“…Is that fucking horse meat bastard really?”
As I looked at the unicorn’s phlegm dripping down its face and its extremely twisted buttocks, I let out a curse, and I saw Lilith, who was looking at me, burst into laughter.
“I guess I didn’t like your face.”
“Gwae, are you okay? “Are you Hanzo?”
Lilith, who was suppressing her bursting laughter, told me to touch her, but when I saw Hoaran who didn’t know what to do when I got hit by the unicorn, I wiped the spit that was all over his face.
You were so gentle with Lilith and Hoaran.
I couldn’t understand why the unicorn, which had never approached or shown any interest in other people except for a few, ended up spitting only at me.
“…It smells so fucking bad, damn it.”
I couldn’t figure out what I was eating that made it smell so bad.
“Well, let’s get rid of the smell first.”
As he approached me like that, Hoaran, who flinched, said that and snapped his fingers, and his face, his clothes with the sputum wiped off, and the smell of unicorn spit disappeared, and I somehow felt better.
“Looking here, the unicorn is friendly to innocent people, but gets angry when they are not. “I guess I was so angry because of your black heart.”
As I read the description of the unicorn in the pamphlet, I was offended again by Lilith saying that.
“No, what did I do?”
I don’t know if it’s Hoaran, but Lilith is also far from pure.
Seeing that unicorns are particularly friendly towards children, I don’t think it’s an entirely wrong explanation, but I have to admit that I’m not so pure that I can’t get angry and the unicorns get scared and run away or spit out phlegm. I didn’t want to do it.
It’s much more comfortable to think that it’s just some bullshit.
“…So, what’s next?”
Lilith said in response to my question that we decided to go see the next animal after deciding that it was just unlucky.
“The doppelganger I was talking about earlier.”
Doppelganger…
As Lilith explained earlier, it is a subspecies of slime.
However, unlike slimes, which are treated as a race and humans with intelligence and personality, doppelgangers, who are classified as monsters because they lack reason or intelligence, are said to have the tendency to imitate or imitate the appearance of a being they have seen or seen.
It’s just mimicry.
Even though he only copied his appearance, I was intrigued because he seemed to imitate me pretty much the same way.
“Let’s go see the doppelganger.”
I wanted to quickly get to a place where I couldn’t see the damn unicorn.
