22 "Let's raise Bahanero,"




Today is the first time in a long time that we have grown demons. What shall I make?
There are several candidates. A bamboo shoe-shaped demon, but inside is a bamboo cacao filled with cacao.
A lot of sweet potatoes grow like sweet potatoes, but they are commonly known as bombs that are filled with dangerous substances that can be used as the source of magic tools. Incidentally, they explode if you handle them poorly.
I'm thinking of catching some kind of monster like the cockatrice and raising it here.
Wow! It's going to be a complete monster land!

When I stepped outside the door, I saw a huge demon.

....... ...
I'm not sure what this is. I've encountered a bad guy.
It's the one from the second half of the story. The skin is so red, so huge, and the horns are so scary.
Seriously, why is there a guy like this in front of our house?

"Ogre! How did you get here? Please step back, Kyou-sama!

Phytis rushes toward me from behind, but before she can, the hand of the ogre standing in front of her touches mine.

It's nice to meet you. Are you the famous demon grower? In fact, I've come to ask you for a favor.

He was more of a gentleman than I expected.





''Actually, what you are asking for is nothing short of a favor. We've been having trouble growing demons in our village lately. So I came to hear of your story and thought you could help us out.

Well, that's to summarize it like this.
These people (?) He lived in a place called Ogre's Village, where he cultivated demons and lived for himself.
But recently, for some reason, the monsters suddenly stopped growing.
So you came to me, a famous monster-grower, to ask for help. What is a demon grower? When did you get that title?

I see. I see.

But I can't accept this. Because it's a demon.
I wonder if the humans will persecute me for carrying a demon on my shoulders.

It's unusual for an ogre to be self-sufficient. Aren't you people supposed to take food and other necessities from the humans?

Of course there are ogres who do, but we don't like to fight. We only hunt the demons and animals that we grow for food.

Well, if that's true, it doesn't matter.
I'm just glad that you're relying on me.

I understand. I'll do my best.

"Really. Thank you very much. That's my boy, Master Demonologist! You are a good friend of our demons.

By the way, where the hell did the rumor about the demon grower come from?

Yeah. This brother is going to revolutionize the demon world sooner or later.

And a smug Jack on my head. It was you.





You're an ogre.

So a word about the village of Ogre. That's what I think.
Well, there's a craftsman ogre who catches and processes a basilisk called a chicken.
There's a housewife ogre hanging out to dry clothes.
In the park at the back is a baby ogre playing and an old man ogre watching over them.

Which one is the field?

Fittis, curious about the field where the demon is growing, offers to accompany me.
She immediately asks you to show her the field, if you are curious about it.
At her prompting, the ogre leads me to the location of the field.

Is this the ...... habanero?

There were several trees with evil-looking habaneros, reminiscent of the tyrannical habanero in candy.
But as you can see from the side, the habaneros were not in good health.
They were clearly peeling off, and the worse ones were screaming "hooray!
Are you sure about this? No, I'm talking about whether you can eat before the symptoms.

Bahanero. I've seen these demons in this part of the world, but they certainly look very weak.

Bahanero? That's almost true.
Well, that's okay.

So how do they grow these things?

When you cut the Bahanero fruit, it has a lot of seeds stuck in it. If you scatter these in the ground, hopefully one of them will become a tree.

and took Bahanero and cut him in half in front of him. At that time, Bahanero said, "Ta-da! I didn't hear a word of it.

"Well, it's a simple way to grow.

But if you look at the fruit, they are all tired. The soil is not right?


But as far as I can see, the soil around here is pretty good and doesn't look like it's going to be a problem.

What else do you grow here besides this bahanero?

No, it's nothing. It's just that.

Yes?

"Well, only this one kind?

"Yes.

"What else?

"Yes, we like spicy food.

"...... by any chance, have you been growing in this same place all this time?

"Yes, what about it?

Oh, I think I've figured this out. And that's easy.
That's it, for sure.

Ogre.

I put a plop on his arm.

"Let's grow other monsters (vegetables), too.




That's why the cause is that . Serial crops.
Well, if you grow the same vegetable and demon in the same place for a long time, you'll have crop failure.
So I taught them to grow killer plants, devil carrots, and monkey bananas with various demons.
I instructed them not to plant the same monster once they had grown it, but to plant a different monster in the same place.
After a month, I got a report that the Bahanero I grew at another place was as healthy as before.

In return, I got some Bahanero seeds here as well.
It was very hot with a fire attribute.
