142 142 "Farewell of parent and child" (1/2)

It was some time after that.

After the resolution of the battle of the kings, Shin and Alisha lived together in the royal palace.

Having been raised by demons up until then, Shin had to learn about the knowledge of the palace once again, and of course, he was a skilled learner, and I soon heard that he was making rapid progress not only in martial arts, but also in academics.

However, he has had very few opportunities to interact with people before, and the trauma of his time in the palace still seems to have left a slight residue, and he often becomes extremely nervous when talking to people other than Ore and Alisha.

Nevertheless, living with his sister is a happy time for Shin, and so is Alisha.

I'm still growing demons in the desert.

I have cultivated most of the demons that live in the desert region, and have also cultivated new demons through multiple cultivation.

A few days later, one day, I went to a cave in the cliffs deep in the desert, far from the Arabian Kingdom.

Hey, good to see you.

”...... What do you want, human. Are you willing to risk your life to enter my realm?

It's the cave where the manticore that raised Shin so far is located.

I talk to the manticore while dropping the backpack on my back, with Lily, who came with me to escort me, back down.

”It's all coming back to you, isn't it, remembering who I am?

”............

The manticore would not answer that question, but it was enough for me.

Shin and Alisha's problem may be over.

But still, I came here because I thought there should be a little help for the manticore that has raised Shin so far.

Mr. Manticore. Where did you bury your wife's body?

What ......?

Manticore puzzled by my question.

”...... What are you going to do with it?

Eventually, after a brief silence, I respond to the manticore's question with a clear answer.

”I can't keep you as is, but I'll bring your mate's manticore back to life. I will bring it back to life as a new life.

It was a sure and confident answer, and the manticore was surprised to hear it.

But after looking into my straight eyes, the manticore slowly straightens up and leads me to the back of the cave.

...... Here it is.

It was a small space at the end of a passage from the former hall.

A single grave existed there.

............

I walked up to the grave and took out some demon seeds that I had in my bag.

What are you going to do with them?

I answer the Manticore's question by planting the seeds I have in my hand in the ground under the grave.

This seed is a seed of a demon that bears fruit. If you spread these seeds over the carcasses of animal-type demons, you can create a plant-type demon egg that incorporates the genes of animal-type demons.

My explanation was met with a look of confusion on the manticore's face, but, well, it's faster to see these things in person than to explain them.

”Well, in short,

I plant the seeds and pour water from my canteen into the ground of the grave.

Your mate will be born from a tree that comes from here.

--A month later.

Well, I guess I'm done with my part in this, so I'll be on my way.

”Yes, Keogh. Thank you so much for everything.

Now we were in front of the gates of the Arabian Kingdom on the Kobda provided by Shin and his friends.

The wasteland near the castle is now a splendid field environment, where the jack-o'-watermelon, the cactus balls, desert jellyfish, killer plants, jack-o'-lanterns, and cockatrice trees grow wild, and the area is covered with various There was a crowd of monsters that were able to harvest enough.

Most of the demons are completely native there, so if you leave them alone, the next generation will naturally come into being, so it should be enough to manage them. Just make sure you water them regularly.

”Of course, I really appreciate it, Keogh.

Alisha bowed her head repeatedly, but I made her look up and say, ”I didn't do anything,” she said.

Oh, and if you don't mind, you can follow up on the seeds of the World Tree, too.

I know.

Alisha nodded in response to my confirmation.

Yes, I planted one of my World Tree seeds in the Arabian.

I heard from Moe that the best way to grow the World Tree was to plant it in the right place, so I decided to plant it in this country as I had planned.

The World Tree is a large tree that germinates in sync with human growth.
