---- A few days passed after I became two years old.
I was lying down in plains on top of the hill close to my house from which I can look down the entire Mizell town. While lying down, I also read a book about elemental magic that I got from the bookworm Merouane-san, the daughter of the grocery shop, after paying her some money. But the more I read, the more I realize that the principle of the magic is much less similar to the game so I can’t help but to get drowsy from reading it.
“Nnn… oh? It’s just you”
I suddenly hear a familiar watery sound so I open my eyes and look at the direction where the sound comes from. And what I see there is a slime. Slime is of course a hostile kind of monster but that one is the slime that I had given the skill [Tame] before and it now successfully become my [summoned beast].
That is the effect of the skill that is rewarded when reaching level 95 of [Negotiation] skill, [Allegiance]. You have to weaken a monster first by either shaving its HP or giving it negative status effect to successfully actives [Allegiance]. One activated, it will give a chance to cast [Tame] to the monster. I managed to tame this slime before and now it enters my party and I treat it the same way as I treat my party member.
(Well, not like it is strong enough to fight anyway…… there’s also that issue about the maximum member that can be added to a party. I should research it someday)
In eternal magia, the party member limit is 100 people. This is the maximum number of people that can join in the guild versus guild event. Once people join a party, no matter how far they separate, unless that person joined another party, they will always be a member. That’s also the reason why I still receive a small amount of experience from my dad even when we are apart when I was still a baby.
“Hiro-chan, Hiro-chan!”
“UWAa!...... So you also here Riona?…… don’t appear suddenly like that”
“Ehehe. Wherever Hiro-chan is, Riona will definitely comes too”
Riona also a two years old now. When she had her birthday party, there are only a few people that was invited in it. This situation happened because Sarasa-san is a half-elf that tries to lives a normal human life while hiding her long ears as well as her true identity. So the peoples that were invited were the people that understand her situation so there’s only my mom, the clothes shop’s Elena-san and her children, Monica-san the hunter, and Serra-san the sister.
Seems like this world and earth has some small difference in human growth speed. The two years old here are comparable to earth’s four or five years old. Because this is my and Riona present growth condition is like.
I also come and congratulate her in her birthday party but…… my bad habit seems to kick back in. I have yet to deliver her my present. After a lot of thinking, I in the end choose [that] as her birthday present. [That] is definitely the best thing to give her I think and I also carry [that] with me even now.
“Hiro-chan, want some apples?”
“N-no need……”
“Is that so? It’s delicious you know?”
She always bought food from her home and always tries to share it with me. Sarasa-san also knows about it but much less stopping Riona, she even encouraged her to bring more. Even I felt a little obliged to it.
“Hiro-chan, you know, just now, Stella-oneechan and everyone was walking toward the woods”
While saying that, she hugs the slime like it was some kind of cushion and approach closer to me. If it was the usual hostile slime then it will no doubt retaliate back at her but because it is my summoned beast, the slime just let Riona does anything to it.
But then again, getting the slime deformed because of this is also too pitiable so I command it to hide somewhere nearby. My slime will definitely won’t attack people and will always come at my every call.
“The woods huh…… well that’s got nothing to do with me anyway”
“Yeah. Riona also wants to play with Hiro-chan so I don’t go with them”
