Chapter 799
A role for the Cockatrice fledglings
Plants made with Weed Cultivation were sometimes picked immediately, but the ones that were left sometimes attracted bugs… But then again, they also tended to wither quickly, which did not leave much time for the bugs to gather.
“With the other plants around the mansion as well, the servants kept an eye on them for bugs… But perhaps we have an alternative now?”
“Indeed. But there are only two, which is not much… But I suppose they can protect some of the plants. And they are able to do it without damaging anything.”
“Pii. Pii.”
“Piii!”
While watching them patrol the fields, we decided to ask Rahle about the Cockatrices.
Of course, Tilura and Liza interpreted, as did Leo.
Apparently, they were considered cleaners among the monsters of the forest. And adult Cockatrices were able to eat very large bugs.
As they ate bugs in the ground, their beaks also helped to soften the soil, making it easier for trees to grow in the forest.And so if Cockatrices were there, the trees grew well. And so some monsters left them alone.
Though, that did not include monsters that were hungry, or monsters like Rahle.
Obviously, orcs and trolls attacked them as well.
Regardless, after hearing all of this, Sebastian wondered if they could not be used for farming. But it would be difficult to catch them. And they were unlikely to listen to what we said.
And so it was unlikely.
“So, it’s decided then?”
“Yes. It should be fine if Rahle keeps an eye on them. And they won’t require much attention.”
“Indeed. They will wash themselves if you put water out. Same with the sand. If anything, they can be helpful with the herb fields.”
We would build a small shed for them to sleep in and stay dry when it rains. And during the day, they can patrol the fields and gardens and eat bugs.
They would not fly away or hurt any humans. Especially with Rahle nearby.
“That’s great. You can live here without worry now.”
“Pii-pii!”
“Pii!”
“…They really seem to like Tilura.”
“Yes. I suppose it was because she defended them from the beginning.”
The Cockatrice children were chirping happily again as they sat on Tilura’s shoulders.
Perhaps bird-type monsters just liked her? Well, Leo and Sherry did as well. And there were dogs in Range village. Perhaps animals and monsters liked her?
“Well, if they will watch the plants around the house during the day, there will not be much time to play.”
“Yes. I guess she can just play with them when playing with Leo and the others. …So, there is no need to reject Tilura’s way of thinking.”
“Ahaha. Yes.”
I had told Claire and Sebastian what was on Tilura’s mind.
Sebastian had already guessed at it. But Claire was like me, and hadn’t really considered it.
And so she was rather apologetic now.
However, she was now watching Tilrua and smiling. And I was sure that the same thing would not happen again…
