Chapter 170 - How to Use Familiars

"Oh, uh, may I speak with you, Ars-sama?"

"What's the matter, Billy? Have you finally created a Familiar that can use [Spawn]?"

"I'm sorry. It's not ready yet..."

"Oh, really? Don't look so awkward, Billy. I'm not accusing you of anything!"

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your concern, Ars-sama."

"So, if you're not talking about [Spawn], what's the real topic?"

"Ara, yes. Actually, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. What should I do with the Familiars that were born in the experiments?"

"What do you mean? Familiars?"

"Y-yes. I was ordered by your greatness to conduct experiments to create a Familiar with [Spawn], right? What should I do with the beasts that hatched from the Familiar Eggs in those experiments?"

"Are there a lot... Wait a minute, Billy, I want to see them. Can you take me there?"

　When I came back to Barca Castle after finishing the construction of Kyle Dam, I was spoken with by Billy.

　He seemed to be having trouble dealing with the beasts that had hatched from the work I had given him.

　Well, I hadn't really thought about it.

　Normally, Familiars are valuable, but in this experiment, all but the Magic-type were not of high research value.

　But Billy can't dispose of them or sell them off without my permission because I'm the one who paid for them to be hatched.

　As the owner of a castle decorated with the most beautiful stained glass windows he'd ever seen, he couldn't do anything with them without my permission, but I couldn't raise them myself either.

　So, when I finally came back from the dam construction, he came to me and explained the situation.

　Billy told me that he still hadn't been able to create a Familiar with the magic of [Spawn].

　However, he was able to produce a good variety of Familiars.

　It sounded interesting, so Billy and I decided to go to the place where the beasts were stabled.

"It's amazing. You hatched all these...?"

"Yosh. I've tried various patterns of magic blending, excluding the Familiar Eggs that didn't hatch even after using [Mana Infusion]. The number of them has increased, but the crucial type is still not there..."

"You hypothesized that it would be easier to produce a Magic-type based on my magical power. If there are none of those types born, then I guess you'd be wrong?"

"To be honest, I need more data. But Kyle-sama says that individuals based on Ars-sama's magic tend to have more magic power. From now on, I'm going to investigate whether or not the amount of mana is related to whether or not they become Magic-type."

"Hmm. I guess we have a long way to go."

"I apologize!"

"No problem. So, according to the story, these guys are all non-magical Familiars. Some of them look like they can be ridden, but many of them look like they can't be ridden at all."

"I'm not sure. The purpose of this experiment is to create a Magic type Familiar that has the magic of [Spawn]. So, whether it can be ridden or not is less important, and, well, there are many types that just can't be ridden..."

　Oh, I see the truth.

　So Billy is also worried about money.

　Even if the experiment isn't a success, you can still sell the Familiars to merchants.

　It doesn't matter if you can ride it and wield a weapon like a knight or not, as long as the Familiar has the ability to carry goods.

　However, in the current situation, there are many beasts that cannot be mounted, and it would be impossible to reduce the financial burden by selling the experimental animals.

　Billy, whose family was a poor farmer, had never been involved in anything so costly before, and he must have been very worried.

　I don't want to punish him for not being able to sell the beasts that he hatched in the experiment.

　However, if the number of Familiars increases at this pace, it would be better to have some way to utilize them.

"But what should I do? It's hard to sell anything other than the riding type, as expected."

"Well, I've heard that some people buy unusual-looking Familiars for ornamental purposes, Ars-sama."

"Hmm, but... It's too much trouble to find such a strange buyer. Besides, I'd like to find a better use for the beasts that will be hatched in future experiments. ...... for ornamental purposes? Does that mean the person is going to watch the creatures?"

"Yes, but what is it, Ars-sama?"

"I've got an idea. I'm going to take some of the Familiars with me, okay?"

"Yes, of course!"

　The conversation with Billy had given me an idea of how to use the beasts.

　I chose some of the beasts in the stables that I could use and left the castle.

***

"Thank you, Ars-kun. I think this will be more exciting than ever."

"Right? I think I've come up with a good use for them. Thank you, Eira-nee."

　I came to the betting area in the northwest district of Barcania with the Familiars that had been hatched in the experiment.

It has a Valkyrie race track and an associated gambling hall, which is run by Hector-nii's wife, Eira. I decided to use the Familiars at this racetrack.

　The Valkyrie racetrack, which I had prepared as the centerpiece of this amusement area, had been very popular at first, but recently its popularity had started to wane little by little.

　This was because the Valkyries had a fatal problem: all of them had the same physical abilities.

　Although the jockeys who rode the Valkyrie in the races were changed, the chances of each Valkyrie winning were almost the same, and in the end, it was all luck.

　In the end, there was nothing but luck involved in the game. It was just like playing the lottery, but without the fun of predicting the winner.

　There was a high possibility of getting bored with the games after watching or playing them a few times.

　So, I decided to bring in Familiars other than the Valkyries.

　I brought the ones that Billy had given me which I thought would run well.

　If the different types of Familiars raced against each other, it could produce more unexpected results and drama than a race with only the Valkyrie species, who all had the same physical abilities.

　In this way, in addition to the fun of betting on the outcome of the race, there would also be the fun of predicting it.

　In the future, it might be a good idea to have a league system, and divide the top, middle, and bottom of the standings into different groups to have more competitive races.

　It would be more dramatic if there were some sort of qualification races.

　In this way, the Barcan racetrack began to take on a new life as a one-of-a-kind place where beasts of various shapes and sizes compete with each other.
