NOVEL WEB Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Dark Demon's New Pet
Chapter 134: Dark Demon's New Pet
The shop assistant at the Catnip Flower and Wood Shop was in her early twenties. Her hair was tied back with a ribbon, with two curls left at her temples. She wore an apron and gloves, looking very simple.
The students all liked to call her Miss Cat.
Miss Cat still had an impression of this blond boy.
In fact, her memory was very good; she had some impression of anyone who had bought Catnip Grass from the shop.
Seeing the boy immersed in the cats, unable to extricate himself, she didn't disturb him, just watched gently with her eyes curved into thin crescents.
Cats were a gift from heaven; she didn't dislike anyone who liked cats.
...
After cuddling for a good half hour, Dark Demon reluctantly put down the cat on his lap.
Among the Catnip Grasses displayed in the shop, besides cats, there were only a few other types.
These were all the ones with good feedback, but Dark Demon needed more other types of Catnip Grass for reference.
...
With little Pride left, the next experimental point should be the [Fruit of Lust].
And the animals that matched [Lust] and the moon, the most easily thought of were naturally foxes, wolves, rabbits... or perhaps, vampires, succubi?
Considering it had to be raised in the dormitory, it was best if it were small and quiet.
Like, a Rabbit Grass?
In fact, Rabbit Grass was indeed a good choice.
Quiet, timid.
Easy to raise.
Whether in myths and legends, or in the many Digimon and Pokémon sewn into this world, there were quite a few species based on rabbits.
Dark Demon, of course, had his own ideas.
He was very interested in the moon god among Digimon's Olympian XII—Dianamon.
Dianamon's Rookie form—Lunamon—was based on a rabbit.
And conversely.
Although this time he had used the [Fruit of Pride] to refine [Gatomon], Dark Demon still held fantasies about the sun god among Digimon's Olympian XII—Apollomon.
Dianamon and Apollomon, symbolizing "moon" and "sun" respectively, were not only Mega level but could also fuse and evolve into [GraceNovamon].
And if he could use the [Fruit of Lust] and the [Fruit of Pride] to refine the "moon god" and "sun god" respectively, the significance for the analysis of the Great Sins would also be extraordinary!
...
Additionally.
"Pokémon" also had a "moon beast" and a "sun beast."
They were the bat-based "Emissary of the Moon," Lunala, and the lion-based "Emissary of the Sun," Solgaleo.
...
Of course, the above was still in the fantasy stage.
Considering Dark Demon hadn't found Rabbit Grass in Miss Cat's secret room last time, nothing was set in stone.
After putting down the Catnip Grass, he approached the shop assistant: "Miss Cat, I'd like to raise another type of Catnip Grass. Could you take me to see the new test products?"
Miss Cat naturally wouldn't refuse: "I can. Is your pot of Catnip Grass doing well?"
Dark Demon smiled: "Of course, it's very healthy."
Miss Cat then turned and led him into the secret room he had entered before.
Although he had been here once, Dark Demon still couldn't adapt well to the environment of this secret room.
There were more Catnip Grasses than last time, densely packed in the room.
The most conspicuous among them was still that giant Goldfish Grass!
Miss Cat had clearly taken good care of the Goldfish Grass—it had grown even fatter!
And around the Goldfish Grass, the other types of Catnip Grass were also very healthy.
Dark Demon forced himself to endure the psychological discomfort and began to search through the pile of Catnip Grasses.
Miss Cat said happily: "How about it? Actually, the recent customer feedback has been very good, so we've added more improved products. For example, that Cow Grass, not only can it be kept as a pet, but it can also produce juice to satisfy a customer's daily cup."
"J-Juice?"
Dark Demon couldn't help but twitch his eyelid. The Catnip Grass Miss Cat was pointing to was a small cow only knee-high, so the juice she mentioned...
Dark Demon couldn't help but mutter: "Perhaps it can be used to make Miltank."
Miss Cat: "What?"
Dark Demon: "No, nothing. I was thinking, why doesn't the shop have a variety like Rabbit Grass that looks like it would be very popular?"
Miss Cat said with difficulty: "We're developing it... okay, actually, we haven't solved the problem of Rabbit Grass being easily scared to death by high-decibel sounds."
Dark Demon: "It can do that?"
Miss Cat shrugged; "Can't be helped, bunnies are just that timid."
Dark Demon thought for a moment, then said: "When this problem is solved, can I reserve one?"
Miss Cat said happily: "Of course."
Dark Demon then carefully looked around the secret room for a while longer and asked doubtfully: "Is there a lion variety of Catnip Grass?"
Miss Cat: "We haven't solved the bad habit of Lion Grass biting people yet."
Dark Demon: "Goodness. I'll reserve one of these too."
...
Things didn't go as smoothly as Dark Demon had imagined.
The so-called test products were almost equivalent to defective products.
Even without mentioning the yet-to-be-developed Rabbit Grass and Lion Grass, most of the Catnip Grasses in this secret room had biological defects.
→They didn't have the mature craftsmanship of the original Catnip Grass.
And those with complete biological traits were all rather regrettable varieties.
Like that most conspicuous Goldfish Grass, and the little cow mentioned earlier.
In short.
No foxes, no rabbits, no bats.
But there were dogs and rats.
The dog was a lively puppy similar to a Shiba Inu.
The rat was a brown-furred fancy rat.
Having already raised a Catnip Grass at home, Dark Demon found it hard to imagine what kind of tragedy would occur if he stuffed a puppy and a fancy rat in there.
But that Goldfish Grass was really too creepy.
And he didn't want to raise a cow in his dormitory!
Not to mention Spider Grass and Scorpion Grass, just thinking about them was unsettling!
Maybe when he had his own club workshop in the future, he would consider these, but raising them in the dormitory was really asking too much.
"How about... that little cow?"
"Maybe I can really cultivate Miltank with this?"
"And the juice produced by Cow Grass can be re-fermented in Shuckle, perhaps producing juice with special effects?"
"Thinking about it this way, it suddenly seems feasible!"
"And Catnip Grass doesn't grow bigger, this little cow is less than knee-high, it's not bad to keep as a pet cow."
Dark Demon tried hard to convince himself, and finally, considering the sustainable development strategy, he made a final decision.
...
"If the improvement of the Rabbit Grass is completed, you must reserve one for me!"
After making another reservation with Miss Cat, Dark Demon finally returned to his dormitory with a pot of Cow Grass.
...
