Chapter 139: It’s one of our cows!

I travelled to the barn located at the edge of the village.

Ah, Chief Luke! Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for all the hard work too, Neruru. How are the animals?

Theyre all in good health!

Neruru had the [Heart of the Animals] Gift.

As such, she was made in charge of the villages farm animals.

At the moment, we were keeping cows, sheep, and chicken. The milk and eggs we get from them were absolutely delicious, making those some of the villages hidden specialty products.

Moo~

Meeh~

Theyre so adorable.

These ones have just been born. But wow, Chief Luke, theyre already forming a bond with you!

But arent there too many newborns? How many adult ones do we have again?

At the moment, approximately 200 cows, 500 chickens, 100 sheep, 50 horses, and about 50 other livestock!

We have that many?

We originally purchased about 10 animals from the Brookley-san the merchant.

We did get new young ones as time passed, but the majority of the animals we had were born here.

<<Animal barn: A shed for the use of livestock. It speeds up their growth, preserves their health, and strengthens their reproductive abilities.>>

So, it really is because of the animal barns effects!

But considering the demand for milk and eggs, do we have enough?

Our livestock might have grown in numbers, but so did the population of the village.

I was worried our supply of milk and eggs were not enoughand yet, even now, I havent heard of any kind of shortage of it.

Oh. Well, to answer that, lets go over there, toward the pasture.

Just to be sure, the males still dont produce milk, right?

Yup, but for some reason, nothing but female cows are being born right now.

Eh, is that so?

Upon inspecting the cows leisurely grazing in the pasture a bit more carefully, I confirmed that most of them had large udders. I didnt know much about farm animals, but even I could tell that these cows were female.

That solves the mystery of where the supply of milk comes from, but what about the

!?

Right at that moment, an ostrich-like chicken passed in front me.

That chickens born in the village as well!

You mean Im not just imagining that!?

Much like the cows, the chickens born and raised here seemed to be much larger than usual.

Before long, other 2-meter-tall chickens were energetically running all over the pasture.

These chickens lay a lot of eggs! Ahh, perfect timing! Look over there!

I looked where she was pointing and saw one chicken ready to lay an egg.

Huh? Her eggs size isnormal?

I was expecting its egg to be as big as an ostrich egg, so I was a bit let down to see that its egg was not much bigger than a normal chickens egg, if at all.

In the next moment though

*pop**pop**pop**pop**pop**pop*

Eggs came out of the gigantic chicken one after the other.

Each chicken lays about 50 eggs per day!

Its the type to make up with numbers!
