"... now, why don't you stay here and go back to the village for once?"

I nodded because Ingo said so. I thought about it and said it.

"... shouldn't you take this slime with you...?

Ingo nodded to this,

"Well, yeah. That's why you'll have to stop by."

That's what I said.

Strangely, he leaned his neck.

"Where are you?

When asked, Ingo smiled with a smile.

"It's fun to go there."

That's what I said.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"This is...!!

After a while, I went through the woods and through some boundaries reached that place, where I was spared my livelihood.

That's because you can't see this sight anywhere else.

It was a place where the woods were cut open, and it was quite large.

In terms of area alone, it is probably wider than the village of Hutthaler.

However, houses and buildings are not wooded, they are flat places surrounded by fences.

I can see that there is a slightly bigger cabin at the end, but that's about it when it comes to buildings.

And inside the fence... were all kinds of monsters.

Some of them I saw the other day... or Lindbroom on my back.

"Oh, oh, okay. Guys, don't get so excited. Lorraine is surprised."

The monsters noticed that we were here and stopped by a lot.

Beginning with slime and Lindbroom, even monsters like Griffon and Hellhound, who are not in the woods of the countryside, are normal.

Moreover, there are a small number of fierce monsters that will strike at us first.

However, when they look at ingos, they look calm as if they were friends or lovers, rubbing their heads against him to be sweet.

Also, it was very calm for me, and it was more modest for ingos, but it was something that asked me to stroke my head, so I became cute and stroked.

I don't feel like I'm in contact with a monster because I'm in a better mood like a cat or a dog...

"Fufu, how about that? Isn't that amazing?

Unusual and braggish, Ingo said so, but this is certainly worth bragging about.

What kind of powerful or economically powerful royal aristocracy or great merchant can have such a thing in the first place?

"Yeah, I'm surprised. Is this... a monster ranch?

"That's what happens. Well, there aren't many of them here that are raised in the woods in a way that's almost wild, but villagers usually go into the woods. I know it's rare, but wouldn't it be nice to run into a Griffon or a Hellhound at a time like that?

"Sure, I hope you're surprised..."

Both are powerful monsters.

Anyway, if we meet in the labyrinth, if we meet in the middle of a normal hunt, that's it.

It would be different if you knew that you are usually here, but the habitat is different.

That could have led to situations such as asking adventurers and knights to investigate.

If he knew Ingo was a subordinate, he would be convinced, but there are only a few people in the village who know he is.

If the villagers who don't know anything asked me to call an adventurer or a knight, Ingo, who is the village chief, couldn't get in the way.

This is how we quarantine to avoid such a situation.

"Well, we're all tightly bonded, so we don't have to attack the villagers."

"It's a big case just because we met. I see, the boundary on the way is....."

"It's something that Galb keeps up on a regular basis. You won't get here unless you pass in a certain order or the mage with so much skill unlocks it. If it were Lorraine, it might be possible to disarm it....."

"No, it's going to be a lot of work... and once it's released, it'll take a lot of catalyst and time to retighten it. I won't do that."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

"Fufu. Besides, you led me here....."

"Oh, as you can imagine, I can't take Lorraine to the village all of a sudden with the monsters she made obedient to. I want you to leave me here while I'm away."

"Was it? But is it okay?

"Huh? What happened?"

"If you let my servant and Ingo's servant go inside the same fence, there won't be a fight."

"I see. Even if they are obedient to each other, they are as compatible as humans. It's also possible to give strong orders to avoid bumping into each other, but doing too much of that can make you stressed."

"Well then....."

"No, it still doesn't look like my monster and Lorraine's monster are compatible, so I'm sure it's okay." []/(n, vs) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) "

When I was told, my slime at my feet was approaching the fence, stretching out a part of its full body, trying to touch the feet of the griffon.

If Griffon doesn't like it, he can avoid it or run away, but he doesn't seem to do so, and he doesn't seem particularly reluctant to be touched.

He looked at my slime with interest about other monsters, but his eyes were not suspicious, but gentle.

"I see. This will give you peace of mind."

"Ah... oh, yeah. It's this slime."

Yes?

"There are quite a few slimes on this ranch. Once you let it go, you can't tell. Still, if you call it through Bonds, it's just a slime, it won't taste good."

"... I mean?

"Why don't you give me a name? Because I name every monster after each other. There is also a realistic reason why it is easier to" exist and evolve. "

"Really!? It's interesting again."

"I have a lot of theories about why, but, well, for now."

"That's right... then, with Loren."

"Hmm... I'd like to ask why, but it's easy to understand."

I was a little embarrassed by the bitter ingo.
