"Okay, you're better now?" I asked.

"Y-Yes… I apologize for freaking out, sir." Said the girl.

This girl here was a survivor of the apocalypse.

Like mostly every human here, they were all survivors I greeted into my divine realm.

Although the majority are from America or other small regions hat ended in more disastrous ways, but Earth itself was still greatly populated by people, atop the skies, that's it.

Using special magical constructs, such as flying ships like the ones in Azure, people from Earth come down here to change the pace.

Some end staying in this large floating continent, while others only come in trips to exchange goods, creating a big road in the middle of space to here where merchants travel here and there constantly, selling goods between both "planets".

The same trades and other things had begun with Mars, as the Martians had been accepted as people long ago, despite looking very different from us.

After the apocalypse it is not that hard for people to become open-minded, they had seen everything at this point…

Even more, I saw a few Martians in this very town, so they had become widespread.

There are also other races of monsters that became intelligent that I didn't noticed, such as Draconic People, Goblins, Ogres, and there were Elven-like people that named themselves Spirit Folk.

Many of them simply originate from their ancestors that spontaneously were born inside my divine realm through the large quantities of mana from the forests, or inside the dungeons, who ended running away and multiplying.

Actually, their ancestors are still alive, not much time had passed since their creation, so they're all like children discovering the world, humans and Martians have to be gentle with them as they are still getting accustomed to society.

"Don't worry about it. I just came here with my family, and wanted to eat the pie here and pass a night here maybe. Just going around the world having fun. Mostly to settle down my mind for the challenges that might come in the outside world, haha." I said.

"Oohh… Sir, even after all you've done, you're still fighting for us… Hahh… you're such a big hero!" cried the blonde girl with aquamarine eyes, hugging me. She was around her tens and looked small and cute."C-Calm down… Where do you live?" I wondered.

"There! We rise Cows, Pigs, and Chicken! Do you want to purchase some of our milk or eggs? They're fresh!" she said.

"Sure, what's your name?" I asked.

"Name's Alicia! Nice to meet you sir Gustav!" she said.

"I see, nice to meet you too, Alicia." I said.

"I guess we are taking a little detour?" asked Anna.

"Yeah, let's go for a bit. The girls seem to want to go meet the farm animals." I said.

"Oohh, I see! Let's go then, farm life is not real if we can't see real life farm animals! I am bored of monsters anyways." Said Kireina.

"I agree, a bit of normalcy would never do bad." I sighed.

"Hmm, I agree. I am in the mood for some fried eggs. Perhaps we could cook something." said Ervas.

"Oooh! Big brother Ervas is very good at cooking, papa!" said Vudia.

"Is that so? Then I cannot really reject his invitation!" I said.

"Egggg!" said Fran.

"Egu?" asked Valentina.

We moved towards the house of Alicia which she invited us to, as she shoed us her large amount of land she got for herself, in there, we saw many cows eating grass.magic

They didn't looked like real cows though… all of them were like three times normal cows size, and their horns were long and sharp.

"T-These are not cows…" I said.

"Eh? How come! They are named Golden Cows!" said Alicia.

"I guess they are the closest thing to them." Said Kireina."It's not so bad, they look cute." Said Anna.

"Here, there are the pigs!" said Alicia.

The pigs bating in the mud were enormous Wild Boars with the horns made of jewels.

"T-These are not pigs…" I said.

"How come? They are named Jewel Wild Boars!" said the girl.

"At least they are not charging at us, if a girl can maintain them, then it means they were domesticated or tamed." Said Ervas.

"True," said Anna.

"And here are the chickens! Wow, look at the egg!!!" said Alicia, pointing at large cockatrices. They were big chicken-like monsters of around a meter big, with the tails with the heads of snakes, sharp claws, and angry-looking faces.

But when she approached to every single monster, they always acted friendly and gentle to her, the fierce Cockatrices even let her take the eggs in front of them.

I suppose this is more of a Monster Ranch than anything! I guess people can't really find normal animals if they're not on Earth… makes sense. The mana here only makes monsters show up.

"Oh, Alicia, who are these people?"

A young blonde man showed up, Alicia's father.

"Papa, they're… Guests! They wanted to buy milk and eggs and look at the animals." Said Alicia.

The father, a pure human, looked at my party who were all demi-human looking, he didn't recognize me, luckily.

"Oooh, I see. Well, welcome here. I am glad to see a lot of demi-humans! It is often rare to see so many together… And you go two little babies, they're so cute!" he said, as he looked at Fran and Valentina.

"Bababah…"

"Uwaawa!"

The two babies released little sounds.

"Hehe, I bet some good milk will help them grow into some fine ladies. Alright, come here, I'll bring the merchandise. Want to stay for lunch? My wife is making meatloaf today." Said the man.

"Sure!" we said.

Alicia began to play around with Fran and Valentina, while we walked around the farm. The man helped us get a lot of bottles of fresh milk from the Golden Cows, and also sold us its cheese. We also brought a few dozens of eggs.

"Thanks for buying, we really appreciate it."
