176 176 "With me and my father"




"Oh, oh, dear--!

"Oh?

"Oh, gosh! Extraordinary! I'm a transplant from Japan too!

Oh, I know. He's got dark hair and a Japanese look to him. Oh, I don't know, you're probably from around here too.

"Oh, haha. Maybe.

 Look out!
 I was about to call out with my dad.
 But this wasn't a dream...it was the unmistakable reality.
 Right in front of me is a boy clearly younger than me.
 This person's name is Himuro Keiji.
 That is none other than my father's name.
 That means that this boy in front of me now is my father when I was a child.
 I can't help but stare at the boy in front of me.

Oh, um, what's wrong?

"Oh, no, it's nothing. It's just that I came over here for the first time to meet a transferee. ......

 This is not good.
 It is suspicious to stare too long.
 We should keep a moderate distance and deal with this situation calmly.
 If this is the past, when my father first came to this other world, then it's best not to interfere too much with it.
 It may affect the future I was in.
 ...... No, it's already influenced by the fact that you've met me?
 Hmmm. I'm not sure.

Uh, hello.

 And while I was worrying about this, Keji, who wasn't my dad ......, was talking to me.

Um, excuse me. I'd like to know your name, if that's okay with you.

"Huh, mine?

Yes. I hope you don't mind.

 That being said, I can't tell you my real name: .......
 After struggling for a while, I replied with one word.

"...... is Kyou.

Kyou-san, right. Okay, I see.

 When I answered, Keiji nodded with a smile.
 Well, well, my real name is Kyoji, so it's safe to say that this is ......?
 I've been wondering what to do, when Luna, who was with me, calls out to me, comparing me to Keiji.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one," she said.

 It's a continent or another world.
 It would take a long time to explain in detail, so I nodded my head and said, "Well, that's about it.

"Really! So, could you be growing demons, too? Can you do it?

"Well, demon cultivation?

 Suddenly Luna asks you that question and you're perplexed Cage.
 Well, of course you do.
 I mean, is Dad aware of his skills?
 As far as I can see, he's also puzzled by the word cultivation. Hmm.

"Keiji. It is, isn't it? Actually, in this world, demons can be born from cultivation.

"Huh? Cultivation? The demon? Um, Kyou-san. Just because I'm new to another world, doesn't mean you can't joke about it.

No, no, no, seriously. Well, not all of them are like that, but some demons are born from cultivation. Well, it's better to see. Follow me.

 Having said that, I returned with Luna, Locke and the others to the garden where we planted the demon earlier.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"...... seriously?

 So, from the monster seed I just planted, a small seedling of the killer plant grew out of the seed, and from the fruit a small mouth was sprouting and snapping at the flying insects.

I told you. By the way, this is the demon I planted.

"Planted . You . . seriously?

 It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family.

...... Well, well, if that's the norm in this world, you'll have to get used to me. ......



 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.

It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of it.

"Oh, yeah. In a word, it's a little difficult to say.

 I choose my words carefully to explain how I should answer Cage's question.

Growing demons is difficult for ordinary people. It's not impossible to do it, but only a few people have the freedom to do it. It seems this has to do with natural traits and skills. And I had that skill. That's unique to transitioners. Don't you see something like that in a book or an anime?

Oh, I think I know what I'm talking about. I've seen that in Ray Xers and El-Haad.

 And my father cites an example of an old-time cross-world reincarnation work.
 It's quite nostalgic.

Well, sort of. So, Cage. You have the same skills.

"The one that grows demons?

No, it's a different skill. In your case, it's not ...... demons, it's the ability to grow vegetables for the earth.

 When I told him that, Keiji turned his head to look at me again.
