Jokes aside,
We’ve brought many bipedal “Urban Lamia” to the Great Tree,
So, for now, we need to sort them out here.
“Nina-sama, Master, if it’s here, we can probably tame the remaining Lamia again.”
“I see. So, the total number is… it’s changing slightly! I’m still counting.”
“Uh, it’s twenty-five. Three were defeated in battle, and the leader will be executed as punishment.”
They keep moving, and I can’t help but feel distracted by their chests showing.
Just as I was thinking that, the lights turned on. It seemed to be Verbin operating them, not Amatatsu.
Thanks to that, I could see even more, and it was so embarrassing, even though they were monsters.
(I don’t mind during battle, well, not that I don’t mind at all.)
It’s a matter of whether I have peace of mind or not.
“Hmm, if I recall, monsters of the earth attribute can be absorbed and made into something like Korome, right?”
“Yes, Nina-san, but bipedal Lamia that can speak are rare, so they should be perfect for selling.”
“Master, however, their combat power didn’t seem to be that high.”
Regarding that, it’s because we were too strong.
“Helen, there’s no need to worry about that. There are countless collectors of tamed monsters.”
“Is that so? My apologies.”
“There were people like that at the last auction, too.”
At worst, the Adventurer Guild or the Commercial Guild should buy them.
The Milishitan Continent even had monster ranches, and it seems like there might be something similar here, or rather,
We could even try making one ourselves; that dream expands! Like breeding them and making a fortune…
(I want to go find wives for the Kelpies someday too.)
“…Hey, who is that one in the back who’s acting up?”
“Ah, that’s the one named Tsum, Rick-chan’s childhood friend who told us about the attack.”
“KILL HER, KILL HER QUICKLY!!”
How unruly.
In response, Nina-san glares without drawing her sword.
“I am not so soft as to kill her. I will use her as spoils of war.”
“Hmph. You listen to what I have to say.”
“Helen.” “Yes, coming.”
There’s a brief pause.
They’ve probably released the eight monsters they were currently taming.
And then, Nina tames Tsum again without a chant…
Ah, it doesn’t seem to be going as planned. She’s still glaring.
“…I have no choice then.”
She cracks her whip!
“Ouch!!”
And when she concentrates again…
Ah, her eyes glazed over.
It seems the taming is finally complete.
“Now, what is your name?”
“Yes, I am Tsum, Master…”
“Good.”
She’s become as docile as if she were gelded.
It reminds me of Makide from Luna Castle; their memories are intact, aren’t they?
“Nina-sama, should we do the rest like this?”
“Ah, please do.”
…Come to think of it, when taming, I have to attach a special collar, right?
Makide, who came to the Demon Lord Subjugation victory celebration, was wearing one too. I initially thought it was a choker.
I’ve seen the Commercial Guild in Lurs Village with bipedal monsters used for farm work many times, so registration shouldn’t be a problem…
(It might be a bit too much for hungry workers to see.)
While I was thinking that, it seems all the taming is complete.
“So, what do we do? How many do we sell and how many do we keep?”
“Ah, yes, Nina-san. Regarding the ones we keep, we should consult with Amatatsu-san too.”
“Right, Verbin.” “Yes.”
He pulls the vine for emergency calls…
“Nyahaha, an enemy attack? If it’s an enemy, I’ll drive them away~”
“No, these are tamed monsters.”
“Then should I absorb them and make them employees~? They’ll physically die, though~ Nyahaha.”
It’s the same as Korome.
If they inherit their memories and forms,
It’s as if they remain even after death, or rather, their will disappears.
(Thinking about it, it might be a terrifying parasitic plant.)
Or rather, it could be said that they are parasitizing the Great Tree to gain eternal life.
“If I had to say, I’d want to insert monsters with higher intelligence…”
“Nina-san, them being able to speak is more than enough.”
“Nyahaha, I’ll educate them on that~ The knowledge from Korome will be the educator~”
Or rather, aren’t they all connected?
I don’t really understand how this system works.
(Considering the room for growth, can they speak fluently like that chief?)
“Then, for now, let’s send the one who seems intelligent into Amatatsu.”
“No, it would be better if they were intelligent when we sell them.”
“Master, Nina-sama, let’s line them up based on their intelligence values from the Monster Appraisal.”
You can tell such detailed numbers.
And when I lined them up… Tsum was at the front.
“Hmm, but she was asked by Rick-chan…”
“Deles, there’s no mercy for monsters. Don’t hold back that much.”
“But she’s the one who told us about the village’s attack? And she’s already tamed…”
Here, Helen seems to have had an idea.
“Master, let’s do this: we’ll keep three of them ourselves.”
“Ah, I see. “Keep,” that’s a good idea.”
“Hmm, then that leaves twenty-two. If we’re going to put them in…”
“For now, up to eight~ Nyahaha.”
So, it’s whether to put in those from the fourth from the front, or the eight from the back. But still, here…
“Alright then, everyone in the back, you are going to be reborn!”
“WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?” “WHAT HAPPENS?” “IT’S SCARY…”
“No, no, it’s just that you’ll become employees here!!”
Urban Lamia,
Since they can speak, I’m a little hesitant to explain.
“Deles, that’s enough. Let’s finish this quickly.”
“Ah, yes. Well, I guess it’s fate… All right, Amatatsu-san.”
“Nyahaha, then I’ll take them away~” “Huh?”
Saying that, I was hugged by the green Korome, Amatatsu,
And the wall opened, as if I was being led into a forest…!!
“Well then, I’m off to customize them!!”
Yes, if possible, let’s create dungeons too!!
