Chapter 942 – [Planet of the Beasts]

We returned to the capital of the Kartsi kingdom with Risotto… No, Yesto. The soldiers who were waiting for us when we returned opened the door.

And the Kartsi knight we saw when we entered the sanctuary greeted us with a shocked expression.

“No!!!!! I wondered what happened because the volcanic eruption had stopped, but that bird……!!!!!”

[Yerostoda. This time, I signed a contract with this child]

“Wow, the owner of the volcano……!!!! That, over there!!! Report to His Majesty immediately!!!!”

“Yes, yes!!!! I get it!!!!!”

A commotion ensued. Still, it’s understandable, but if you think that suddenly a tactical nuclear bomb is going around on its own, their reaction was similar to that, as if it was scary.

Well, the Yellowstone volcanic eruption is barely at the level of a tactical nuclear bomb, but shouldn’t it be multiplied hundreds of times?

Even if all the nuclear bombs on Earth are detonated, humans will only end up extinct, but from the Earth’s point of view, radiation causes minor skin problems.

“But how can the spirit that is the owner of the volcano come to life and wander around?”

[It’s a matter of competence. Originally, the spirits that signed a contract with you would make a contract to experience the world, but if you had enough capacity, the spirits that contracted with you would be able to manifest themselves. But since that’s not the case, we make a contract by sharing things like the five senses]

“That’s right. I also signed a contract to share my perspective…”

Even Eden’s affinity is at the level of walking spirits. Although the spirits at the level of Yessto had lost their strength and became smaller, the fact that they could bring them to life meant that Eden’s affinity was so great.

Maybe if you meet other spirits other than here, you can summon them all, including the spirit king and Nabal.

Anyway, we returned to the palace again after being guided politely. However, the reaction is very different from before. Even the lodging has changed because the rank has gone up from a guest to a contracted contractor with the owner of the sanctuary.

“Wow!!!! The bed is so wide!!!!!!”

“I can sleep with the kids.”

“Heh heh heh, I like a big bed too, Zuin-nim!!!!”

“It’s warm and it feels good”

[Oh, is this a civilization that was created after the extinction of humans? It looks pretty good]

It is full of all sorts of fancy things, as if it were given to the best of the lodgings for VIPs. The previous accommodation was not uncomfortable enough to write, but it was good here too.

On the other hand, it’s nice to be able to stop by such a good place on Eden’s trip.

After all, traveling is important to see and experience many things, no matter what.

And we were invited to dinner separately that evening. It is a place invited by King Kartsi, but it is not a simple seat.

Besides, since there were no other nobles in this country…… It was as if the king hijacked the order before them. Hey, he looks cool, but he’s secretly full of qualities as a king, but that fat cat?

Anyway, when I attended the invitation, the food that was already spread on the table was giving off a variety of scents. As if there is no distinction in the course dishes, the dishes that are already on the menu give off their own warmth and luster.

I wondered if it would lose its taste when it cooled down… But it seems that the chef is also a contractor of the spirit. The light spirit’s power kept it warm, keeping it at a delicious temperature.

“Welcome, I’ve been waiting for you”

“No, please lower your words, Your Majesty.”

Hehe, how can you treat the owner of the sanctuary and its contractor? There have been many contractors of the spirits, but not one of them has signed a contract with the owner of the sanctuary.”

Seats on the table were prepared not only for us, but also for Koyangi and Mangmungi. The water also contains the seat of Jerosto.

Each person eats what is on their plate. They started eating delicious dishes without any complaints, whether they could make things that animals eat because they came from animals.

“Oohhh!!! It’s delicious!!!!!”

“Jjooinnim!!!! The bones are delicious!!!! Meat!!!!! Meat!!!!!”

[Hmm, is this gourmet? It’s not just baked, it’s very delicious with various recipes added]

“You’ve never eaten before, so eat a lot and develop a taste for food”

Usually, as long as living creatures can survive by eating something, they will eventually have a favorite dish. At least the stray cat is like that.

However, Yesto, a spirit that was not in the category of living things, had no such thing. So, eat as much as you can and increase the taste you like.

“Delicious!!!!!”

“Yeah, it’s a bit boring, but it’s okay.”

After all, they are cats, so even luxurious dishes are a bit boring for us to eat. However, it was not as irritating, so it had the advantage of being able to eat a lot.

However, the proportion of meat in the cooking is high. It’s not that there are no vegetables, but it felt like it was only 10% in the overall ratio.

The meal was over and it was time to talk about adults. There is also a dessert of its own here, so while Eden and the kids ate, I talked with King Kartsi.

“To think that he would even sign a contract with the owner of the sanctuary and continue to live as such an existence until the present… What are you planning to do in the future?”

“I plan to travel around like I have done so far. Oh, of course, I plan to proceed with the Chuur factory plan I mentioned before.”

“If you have that kind of power, you can surely get involved in various conflicts.”

“It’s something you have to accept.”

If you do not have power, you will be swayed by events, but if you have power, you will lead events. Having power or not, when it comes to which one is better, having power is better.

Besides, this world is quite peaceful… Even if you develop intelligence, is it because you’re an animal after all?

Even if there is a problem, it won’t be such a big deal. Besides, if it had moderate power, it would be rather annoying, but if the power it had was beyond imagination, it would rather not be touched.

“If you say so… Ah, I’ll take care of your travel expenses on the way. If there’s anything else you need, I’ll take care of everything.”

“Well………”

To be honest, I don’t think I need anything else other than that. Oh, should I ask for something like a royal crest to cover if there is a problem in the middle?

Then I asked Eden once.

“Eden, if you want something, you’ll hear it. Do you want anything?”

“What do you want?”

Eden pondered a little, then glanced at King Kartsi.

To be precise, I was looking at King Kartsi’s plump belly. To be honest, when I say middle-aged man’s belly, I feel a bit like that, but when I say the belly of a fat pig, it feels cute.

“Can I touch your belly?”

“No”

I’ll let you go, but even if the other person is a cat, then it’s a crime of contempt of the royal family!!!!

* * * *

We planned and prepared a route to go back again. Oh, of course, this time it’s not the original route, but it’s a little bit of a turn around. Of course, I have to stop at the starting point of the trip because I have to meet Elizabeth.

However, in the process, I want to show Eden the sea, and I have to look at the site for the Chuur factory. So I want to go via the coast.

“I can’t use the existing geography I know… Ah, Mr. Charles. If you have a map of this place, could you show me?”

“I’ll get it right away, please wait a moment.”

It is said that this was the earth and the American continent, but it has changed so much that it is not easy to find your way. No, in the first place, only one-third of the intact part of the Americas I know remains?

If there was a place that used to be Yellowstone National Park nearby, it would be located quite inland in the United States, but if you think that there is a sea not far from such a place, you can roughly guess it?

There was even a fairly large island in the west of the continent that wasn’t even Hawaii. It’s probably an island created when the San Andreas Fault collapsed… Maybe the area around it was called San Francisco in the past.

No, but if the strata were destroyed enough to become an island, the tsunami that was created there would be no joke.

[The owners of the sanctuary on this continent are like us, but there are also owners on other continents.]

“I guess so. Natural phenomena revolve around after all.”

When it rains, landslides occur, and in some cases, tsunamis occur from the landslides. A tsunami, also known as a tsunami, is a disaster caused by an earthquake.

It’s not that there aren’t many spirits like the owners of the sanctuary, but there should be quite a number. Maybe over ten. Only on this side, there are four including Yesto.

“Eden, shall we go and swim in the sea?”

“Wow!!!!!! Sea bathing!!!!!!”

“I like swimming too, Zuin-nim!!!!!”

“I don’t like water…”

[Is it the sea? I only live in volcanoes, so a place with lots of water would be nice.]

Everyone liked it except for the kitten, the cat. Well, it can’t be helped that cats hate water. Even here, the Katshis didn’t know about bathrooms, but bathtubs were rare.

Ah, but now that I think about it, the bathroom part here was at least okay. Cats are animals that cover their bowel movements even if they are not taught, so I buried them with sand after doing their errands.

Since I became a loader, I haven’t seen anything other than urinate, and even that I can do as much as I want. Compared to that, Eden is a child who has a good bowel movement.

I have to pay attention to this part as well… Because of the Transcendentalist’s vision, trivial and small things do not come into my eyes.

I thought I was a parenting expert, but should I study again?

“After preparing for the trip today and tomorrow, head south along the coastline… Oh, do you have a boat? I’d like to take a boat ride as well.”

“There’s probably a merchant ship, so if you pay the right price, you can ride it.”

In fact, Charles’s duties had come to an end by arriving in the capital, but King Cartsey assigned him as a guide again. While we are traveling here, it will definitely serve as a guide or guarantee of identity.

Honestly, even if the king guarantees it, it is more effective to be next to at least one knight of the kingdom than two strangers. Besides, Charles is a celebrity in his own way… No, he seems to be a famous cat.

After planning the trip, we prepared various things and prepared to go on a trip. I organized my luggage once again and sold what I had to sell to prepare for my travel expenses.

In particular, 800 seeds came out from selling things like Karizard leather. It’s close to 1,000, so I think it’s quite a lot of money.

……… Then I suddenly realized that this is Earth and there are spirits, but the ecosystem here is quite strange. Isn’t it honestly strange that a reptile that is several orders of magnitude larger than the Komodo dragon usually roams around?

I’ve heard from Jerosto about guys like Cartsy, so I know they’re by-products of man’s sins, but what about the other animals?

“Hey, Yessto. The animals here are bigger than the creatures of the previous Earth, but why is that? It’s too big to just blame it on the spirits.”

[I can’t give a definite answer, but on the other hand, I think it’s a side effect of the 5 major races circulating in the natural world. In the end, the dead will return to the ground or be eaten by someone, so it must be because they are affected indirectly like that]

“………Ah”

Nature cycles. Animals experimented on by humans eventually die and their bodies return to the soil.

But in the process, it doesn’t just become dirt. Sometimes other animals may eat their corpses, or bugs may eat them.

At the same time, the effects of experiments left by humans begin to spread little by little in the natural world… Eventually, the strange ecosystem of this world comes out that humans were the problem again.

Fucking again!!!!!

It’s really hard to shield the humans here. I don’t know if I hit it with a shield.

Anyway, the next day after we finished preparing for the trip, we went on a trip with King Katshi seeing us off. On the morning of departure, he, as well as other nobles who heard the news, and several Katsis gather to greet him.

“You can stay as long as you want, but…”

“Because our purpose is to travel. We cannot stay in one place.”

“Honestly, I’m sorry. But if you want to go, I won’t stop you.”

Even if you want to forcefully hold on to it without stopping it, you know very well what will happen if you anger the owner of the sanctuary.

After leaving the capital, we headed south toward the sea. The journey took approximately 3 weeks.

It takes quite a long time, so I wonder if the time difference on the other side of the earth is okay, but there is a difference of about 2.3 times in the time axis between that side and this side. Thanks to that, a day on the other side is about 2 days and 8 hours on the other side.

Since Eden has a little over a month until he goes to elementary school, he can stay here for over two months. Enough time to travel.

Head south in a wagon pulled by two Otridges given by King Kartsi. They’re bigger than normal Otridges, so they’re huge enough to make you think they’re monsters.

“Come to think of it, Otridge must have been an ostrich when you see this.”

“Ah!!!! I want to eat an ostrich egg!!!!!”

“Then why don’t we eat it later? If we peel and eat fried eggs, Eden will be full even if we eat just one of them.”

“No, you have to eat two”

“……It’s frightening why they specifically pick two.”

The more you go, the more Eden eats. I don’t know if the gas mileage is bad or where all the food is being spent. But, well, it’s much better than being dishonest because you can’t eat. From the outside, it doesn’t look fat, but rather it looks healthy.

Not in the direction we came from, but as we start going down south, we begin to see things we hadn’t seen before.

Among them, the most curious thing was that the house was much smaller than the one Katsi lived in. It’s almost the size of a one-room house, but there are places that use it as a two-story house.

It is a house that seems to be quite small even for Kartsi. However, in the market in the capital, I had seen a tribe that could kill in a house like that.

“Is this where Palet lives?”

“Yes, because there are a lot of pallets in the South. They are so numerous that instead of not having a state, they live evenly in many countries. From the point of view of the state, they are good workers because they can supplement the labor force to some extent.”

“Somehow, the sanctuary and race numbers didn’t match.”

Cat’s Kartsi, Dog’s Cutsie, Ape’s Iif, Bird’s Abes, and Mouse’s Palet. He said that there are five races in this world now. Of course, I don’t know if there will be other races if I go to another continent.

The number of sanctuaries is four, but the race is five. Considering that the sanctuary is a state facility, it means that one out of five does not have a state.

However, among them, Palet seems to be thriving in other countries instead of not having a country. On the one hand, you will be protected.

Since rats are the weakest animals among other animals, they may have chosen this way of survival on the other hand. Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a trend like racial discrimination, so the atmosphere was good.

Seeing that human beings eventually fight over skin color, even if they are of the same species, animals are better in this case.

“When heading south, you’d better stop by a small town. There won’t be any inns in towns too small, and you won’t be able to sleep in a house like that, so you’ll end up sleeping outside.”

“I guess so”

The Palettes’ house is so small that even Eden would have to bow his head to enter it. In the case of an inn, it was made to fit the needs of Katsis, but if there was no inn, in the end, they had to be homeless.

No, I came to the village and I am homeless. This is what farts are.

Still, as people change and so do cultures, I liked the cuisine here more than Katshi’s. Cats are carnivores, but mice are omnivores, so the diet of mice is better for humans who are omnivores.

No matter how good the meat is, you can’t eat it every day, all year round. Sometimes I want to eat only vegetables and carbs by adding herbs and red pepper paste to a bowl.

“Well?”

“Why is that?”

While traveling like that, I felt that something was caught. It wasn’t a sign of something, it was simply a passing feeling.

Yeah, it can’t be such a quiet trip. The time has come for something to happen.

I have no intention of showing only good things to Eden. It’s a little too much, but you have to see the bad things so that values ​​can be established.

I am very curious about what will happen.
