“Kusunoki-kun, I want to ask, for that Summoning Magic, are you able to summon anybody as long as they are your companions?”
Suzuki asked .
“It’s not just anybody . As of now, I am only able to summon Haru and Carol . ”
I didn’t know if I was able to summon Malina or the others .
Since I didn’t know if she became my kin .
I was able to confirm that Haru and Carol had become my kin by checking their status .
Technically the people around them would be summoned as well but the skill I actually planned to use was not the Kin Summoning skill but the Hikikomori skill but I’ll keep quiet about that .
“I see … then it can’t work . ”
Suzuki said with regret .
“Ah, did you want to summon Miles and the others when we reach Mallegory?”
“No, that’s not it …”
Suzuki looked at the trio eating the bread .
Summon those two?
No, that wasn’t it ─ ─ I see .
“Centaur?”
“Yeah, I was thinking that it would be dangerous to let a donkey ride on the back of Pochi . ”
“Can’t we put it in a cage and carry it that way?”
“ … I don’t think it is that easy to procure a cage that can lock a donkey which can body tackle a Demonic King Dragon . ”
That’s true … at the very least it could probably easily break out of a wooden cage .
Now that I think about it, it has had a previous offense of escaping from the guard post to the north of the Great Forest .
Even I did not think I would get off unharmed if it rampaged against me .
So that’s why he wanted the summoning magic .
… There’s no helping it .
“Could you wait for a little longer before departing? I’ll try asking if Haru and Carol mind taking care of it . It would be impossible for humans but I believe it should be possible to summon Centaur along with Haru and Carol . ”
I said before moving to a place away from the four of them and transferring to My World .
After transferring, I gathered Haru, Carol, Pionia, Neete, Sheena No . 3, and the Dark Elves’ representation .
“So, I will take three days to travel to Mallegory but I was thinking if it is okay to keep the slow donkey called Centaur in My World until then?”
Even Haru, whose facial expression doesn’t change much, expressed a fearful expression that showed the magnitude of the situation .
Whereas the others who were not acquainted with it showed perplexed expressions .
“Hey, Master . There’s a lot I wish to ask but it’s just a donkey? Is there a need to gather everyone?”
Neete asked .
It seemed like the others who didn’t know the circumstances wanted to ask that as well .
“Do not underestimate Centaur . Its appetite is even greater than that of Nanawat . And it’s a herbivore . ”
“In that case, we won’t have to worry that it would attack us . ”
Pionia commented .
“But it bit Sheena No . 3’s arm desu?”
“That was because the aquatic plants were wrapped around your arm . ”
I thrust aside Sheena’s comment and addressed everyone who still could not understand the situation .
“Rarael, I’m not sure but do you think the leaves of the Golden Tree are delicious to donkeys?”
“ …… !?”
Currently in My World, the Golden Tree was a symbolic plant .
What would happen if it found the leaves delicious?
“Negotiation is possible against Centaur . It is possible to tell it that we will give it 50 tomatoes and 50 carrots if it doesn’t touch the Golden Tree . However, that is only if its reasoning is capable of overcoming its desire to eat the Golden Tree . ”
“ … Ichino-sama, is there no other way other than to keep Centaur here?”
Carol asked .
She probably wanted to ask if there was a need to take such a risk .
“I was thinking that too but … riding on top of Pochi with Centaur was terrifying as well . ”
According to Suzuki, wyverns fly at an altitude of around 2000 meters . If something unforeseen happens at a height three times that of the Tokyo Sky Tree … I might somehow be okay but the others would not be so fortunate .
“Haru, I have a request for you . Only you can do it . ”
“What is it?”
“If Centaur threatens to harm the Golden Tree or causes a despairing situation, please stop it . As a last resort, you can even break its leg … but please don’t kill it if possible . ”
“I don’t think it is an opponent that I can hold back against but understood . I swear on this Guardian Sword and Gale Blade that I will fight a battle that will not shame Master’s name . ”
“Please settle the issues without fighting if possible . I intend to do my best as well . ”
We had to formulate strategies for that sake .
Our discussion after that dragged on for another hour .
“This all sounds too far-fetched . This is just a talk about taking care of a donkey desu . ”
Sheena No . 3 spoke as though it was someone else’s problem .
