My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World - Chapter 797
We talked about what to do with the Cockatrices
“Pii. Pii?”
“Pii. Pii-pii?”
“They are rather cute, now that I look at them carefully…”
Apparently, the Cockatrices had decided to take a different approach, and were not appealing to us with their cuteness.
They looked like pigeons, and tilted their heads to the side and walked around.
“Hmm. So they eat grains. Not meat or vegetables.
“Yes, Sebastian. That is what Rahle said.”
“Kii.”
Tilura had been speaking to Rahle, and she relayed the information to Sebastian.
Grains…
Well, you could get wheat easily here or any other village. And it was not expensive.
So that would not be much of a problem.
“Kii-kii. Kii!”
“I understand! Uhhh, Rahle says they cannot fly very much, so they will not escape. Also, they don’t have the ability to petrify yet. So they are just like any other birds.”
As she said this, the Cockatrices beat their wings as much as they could. But they could barely fly harder than Tilura’s head.
That meant they could not go over the wall that surrounded the house.
“Well, with Leo, Rahle and Sherry around, I don’t think anyone would even think they were dangerous.”
“Indeed. They seem scared. Even the guards here could handle them. The servants as well.”
“Pii!”
“Pii!”
If you took out the petrification ability, they had no way to fight at all. Especially not at this size.
While I talked to Claire and Sebastian about such things, the two birds perched on Tilura’s shoulders, and they rubbed against her.
They sure were desperate.
“After seeing them like this, no one could consider eating them…”
“And it is too late to take them back…”
“Pii!”
“Piii!”
“They said that they don’t want to go back.”
“Well, they would just be food for the other monsters if we took them to the forest now…”
Liza was able to understand them, and interpreted for us.
“Yes. Now that they are here, we cannot abandon them. I suppose it would be best to take care of them here…”
“Wou!”
“Kii! Kikii!”
Said Claire, and Leo and Rahle agreed.
“That being said, does anyone know how to raise them?”
“While we know they eat grains…I suppose they can be left alone in the garden?”
“Kii–kii!”
“As long as they do not cause any trouble, I suppose that is fine. And they can be washed if they get dirty…”
“Like taking a bath?”
I wondered how they felt about washing. They might hate it like Leo…
“Pii?”
“…Pii?”
“Uhhh… They say they prefer sand.”
“Kii! Kii!”
“Pii!”
“…Is Rahle telling them to be glad they didn’t get eaten?”
“Yes, Mr. Takumi.”
I just had a hunch, based on the situation.
Still, sand…huh…
