Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

h pride and a face full of smiles.

According to Sophia, it was a monster known as a Thunder Eagle.
Just as its name entails, it’s a monster said to be able to manipulate lightning.

When asked, Sophia said she was envious of me making Kaede and Tsubaki into familiars.

「Well, if you tamed it, then I have no qualms about it, Sophia.」
「Thank you very much.」

During my discussion with Sophia, I learned that the Thunder Eagle is a C rank monster, but as it was a seldom seen monster, it’s apparently a rarity.
Even in this world, the nobles indulge in falconry, so they tame raptor-type monsters.
And among the monsters handled in such a manner, the Thunder Eagle is one they would spend a fortune for.

That fact that we now have another thing that would make nobles target us is something I would never say.

「Hey, what do we do about mouse-types?」
「H~mm, mice multiply explosively, so if left as they are, it is likely that they would go out of the forest and damage the orchard and fields.
Let’s go with squirrel-types.」
「Well, wouldn’t it be fine even if we do it at another time? We don’t have to do things all at once.」
「That’s true too.」

When I asked about introducing mouse-types to become prey for the raptors, she was worried about something.
Then because Sylph gave some rare advice, we decided to do it next time.
Should we give the meat of the monsters we hunted to Sophia’s Thunder Eagle? I’d like to prevent the rare small birds from being preyed upon.

We began the our withdrawal operation, foraging plants and catching animals, and checking the monsters’ conditions as we stow them away into the subspace.

「Well then, come closer! We’re going!」

I teleported to the base of Table Mountains.
From here, we’ll leave the monster nest forest, but the reason we purposefully didn’t teleport and are walking out is to catch the animals and forage the plants that we had our eyes on.
Since it would take time to catch, forage, and then return to the Sanctuary, we decided to do these on our way back.

It was at this point that we caught the squirrels.
The Great Spirits and I had decided that the deer and wild boar will be for next time.

Thus our first flora and fauna acquisition operation for the Sanctuary’s forest and grasslands has ended.
I’m sure the Great Spirits will make me go out again.
Releasing animals and monsters in the forest and grasslands is fine, but I’d like to increase number of people who would manage the forest and grasslands.
I strongly do.
