Chapter 2 – Is the Sow the Sow?
Fighting with pigs, what nonsense are you talking about?
In fact, when people think of pigs, people imagine wild boars a lot, so they think that pigs raised on farms will be very ferocious, but in reality this is not the case.
Pigs on the farm have been raised by humans since they were young, and during the process, injections were given, tails cut, teeth cut, males castrated, etc.
Just as human beings will have a lifetime of dental trauma if they make a mistake at the dentist in childhood, a pig, an animal, goes through a series of worse processes as soon as it is born.
As a result, after pigs have experienced enough events to build up trauma to humans from the time they were young, they naturally run away even when humans approach them, and when they are caught, they simply howl with a pig-picking sound.
Not even any resistance.
It is a creature that is truly large and incapable of being helpless.
However, it is not a very stupid animal, so there are exceptions such as gathering on its own when it smells like rice, and there are exceptions such as pigs that are not on our farm but have not been castrated to serve as stallions.
Based on the reasons I mentioned above, my fighting skills are terrible, so telling me to fight with pigs is just telling me to be stupid and watch the farm burn.
“What, are you saying to make an army out of them? The word ragtag is synonymous with the Tang Dynasty army and the Tang Dynasty army, but if we were to fight with them, that day the synonymous with ragtag would be me and the pig farm?!”
At my words, this guy’s message window seemed to be silent for a while, and then he started talking again in front of me.
[You are such a pitiful person! Of course, you didn’t even think that you would have prepared for it, and you thought that I would have said it!]
“Ugh… “
To be honest, if I were told to fight as a pig out of the blue, who would convince me that, since the pig is protecting me, I should be relieved and sleep with my legs stretched out today.
[Don’t make excuses! I hadn’t finished talking yet, but you were the one who suddenly rushed and cut me off!]
There’s nothing to say about that. However, after all, the fact that I had a seizure when I was told to fight as a pig was a lack of explanation on the other side, so let’s make it unavoidable.
[Mmm! If so, let’s continue!]
As soon as the message window finished talking, a message window with a dark blue background suddenly appeared in front of me, unlike the transparent message windows I had seen so far.
[First of all, please hold the handle in front of the awakened person now to link the farm with the awakened person.]
It’s like reading a product manual.
However, I haven’t heard the reason yet, like this window suddenly popped up, but in this way,
[I hope you catch it.]
A blue message window hovering right in front of my nose, approaching with fierce force, as if it were going to push me away if things went wrong. Of course, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
10 years ago, your spouse showed up and while the world was changing, you didn’t even say hello, let alone help.
Is that just the first day I started to stand alone?
However, even if they were evasive, they were destroyed even if they were caught, and if they were burned down even if they were not caught, at least they had to know why they were burned down, so there was no option for me. It’s a good tutorial, but it’s actually a compulsory quest.
The moment I grabbed the doorknob of the pig house as the message told me to do.
[Starting the tutorial!]
“Suddenly?! No, I’ll have to tell you properly before we start,”
I was taken aback by the word, “It starts suddenly,” And as if I didn’t allow myself to speak gibberish, a bright light suddenly began to emanate from the doorknob I was holding onto.
[The Awakened person and the farm link are being connected, so don’t let go!]
It felt like my hand was getting stuck in a sticky mousetrap. I was afraid of the handle that was gradually pulling my hand, but I didn’t avoid it.
Since I inherited this farm from my father, everything that happens on this farm is my responsibility.
It wasn’t because I was an unprecedented filial son in this era, such as I just paid my 3-year funeral, but because I just wanted to leave at least the words that I worked hard for my father who trusted me and entrusted this farm to me.
Above all, I couldn’t keep my eyes open since I realized that someone was trying to tamper with my belongings, so I had no choice but to hold on to the doorknob, which gave me an unpleasant feeling.
[Link… 27% complete… 28% complete… ]
The light emitted from the center of the doorknob began to spread around the doorknob, and a transparent yet deep blue light similar to a message window began to cover everything.
Starting with the pig house on the doorknob I am holding on to, the land I am stepping on, the feed storage, the dung yard, and even the guard dog on the farm, the dung beetle and the dung beetle’s kennel.
As if coating, the blue light that enveloped everything on the farm site, including objects, buildings, and even animals, slowly began to fade with the message window saying 100% complete.
[The link between the Awakener and the farm owned by the Awakener has been completed.]
And all of a sudden, the startled pigs started clamoring with a tremendous luminous glow that could be seen from beyond the doorknob I was holding on to even through the crack in the door.
“What just?! What have you done to the farm?!”
I don’t know what it was, but it was clear that something had happened to the pig pen beyond this door. It was because I didn’t know that the pigs’ clamor would end.
[This is part of the preparations mentioned earlier.]
Apparently, just a while ago, I said I was ready because I was arguing to myself that it was impossible to have a fight with pigs…
“What preparation?”
[As a result of scanning all the Awakener’s farms, and furthermore, scanning all the pigs inhabiting this land and this dimension, it has been confirmed that there are no pigs with enough power to protect the Awakener’s farm.]
“Yes… Ji?”
There are not a few cases in which goblins, which were created in some natural dungeons that no one knew existed, went out to feed and were road-killed and killed by a group of wild boars.
Even though it included such wild boars, I don’t know the threat looming over this farm, but it didn’t seem like a simple goblin level for now.
“But what does that have to do with the commotion that just broke out in the pigpen?”
[Simple answer! If you can’t find the right pig in that dimension, you can summon it in another dimension! The cause of the commotion in the pigpen just now, and now, is the pig summoned from another dimension!]
“Yai, do you have to say that quickly?!”
Do you enshrine a pig that is nothing else and you don’t know where it was rolled and eaten overnight?
Pigs are smarter than you think.
Even though they live in a group, they do not squeak anywhere just because they want to, and they are social enough to do their own business in a designated area.
I am very sensitive to my area.
The moment pigs from other pigs, not their own herd, that is, the pigs they grew up with, are joined together, they think it is a challenge to themselves, and on that day, a territorial fight breaks out within the pen.
There are no exceptions.
It wasn’t even just a fight, but there were frequent cases where one of the pigs would fight until the death of the other, so my father did not usually join the pigs together.
But out of the blue, they release pigs into the pig house?!
I don’t know what his intentions are, whether he’s trying to help me by rushing into the pigpen right away, but at least now, when I was trying to clean up the poop made by a guy who is nothing more than a troublemaker and troublemaker to me.
“… No wait”
When the door is slightly opened, the clamor of pigs is heard.
It’s the pigs that are noisy as always, but now this clamor, this cry, is not the sound of a territorial fight.
I’m scared.
As if they confirmed my existence approaching them with a needle
All of them are scared and screaming at the appearance of some existence that they cannot resist.
Still, it seems that there are no death sentences from pigs that have been robbed at the slaughterhouse, so it doesn’t seem like a beast, but it can’t take more time.
“I don’t know what it is, but I shouldn’t be stressed, so I go in and check it out.”
[… ]
As I opened the door of the pen and ran toward the cage where the commotion had arisen, the tension that filled my heart at first slowly turned into a question, and then the question quickly turned into surprise.
“Hey! I-what is that?!”
“Ugh!! Ugh!!”
Beyond the transparent blue screen, among the pigs, there was a certain platinum-haired woman.
To be precise, should I call her a knight by looking at that armor she wears?
“You can’t be that… “
[The first task of the tutorial! Tame the pig in front of you!]
