CHAPTER 51 – KAKERU CAME

「Is this, being taken care of by someone?」

Looking at the spreading grasslands, the Queen, Rica asked me.

「Take care?」

「It is this many plants, is it not impossible without a lot of gardeners」

「......this, it's growing without taken care of you know」

「Ehh?」

Rica looked at me and the grasslands alternately. She had the face that she couldn't believe it.

「There is no gardeners?」

「Grasslands are created by its own you know」

「No way......」

「......hey, can I ask you something. For example. When someone's hungry, what do you think if you heard that he's about to die from hunger because there's no bread?」

「Eh? Should they not just eat meat?」

「......」

I somehow pitied Rica.

If I talked to her without knowing anything, I might've pointed out, "A marionette!".

But, after I knew that it's been years since she left the palace, and it's the first time that she left the capital city, I can't point that out.

Rather, I pitied Rica who was forced to be in such an environment, and could only think of it like that.

Rica felt something strange from my reaction, but she immediately started to horse around again.

「Ne〜, what is that?」

「Un? Ahh, that's what you call the mountain cow」

「Mountain cow?! Mountain cows are blocks of meatーーit is not huh. That is right......there's also an original appearance for the meat」

While she was about to say that, Rica noticed that her belief was wrong.

I'm sure that she was only been able to see the meat after it's processed, maybe, she'd only seen it after it's cooked.

Noticing that in the middle, she got embarrassed by her mistake.

Her blushing face was very cute. I could see her as cute even with her wearing a gorgeous dress.

「You saw the mountain cow for the first time huh」

「Un, it's the first time. They have a pretty cute face huh」

「Is it cute? That only look like a fierce beast」

「Ah! It ran away」

「The mountain cows around here are afraid of me. I hunted too much after all」

「Hunted to much, you say, Kakeru did?」

「Yeah」

「Even though it's that huge?」

「Wait a minute」

I took Eleanor and Hikari, chased after the mountain cow, and defeated it with one hit.

Mountain cow collapsed with blood gushing out of its wound. I left that and returned to where Rica was once, but Rica was covering her eyes.

「What happened」

「T-The blood......」

「Ahh, you also saw blood for the first time huh」

Well, that should be the case. She might've been able to see it from small injuries, but it's natural that she hadn't seen a hunting scene since she hadn't left the town.
