However, Leo also seemed to be puzzled. She did not know why Sherry had started glowing.
Well, that was fine… It wasn’t like Leo knew everything.
“…Perhaps…”
Oh? It looked like Sebastian had thought of something.
When it came to these kinds of things, Sebastian’s vast wealth of knowledge was very useful.
“Sebastian, do you know what happened?”
“I have heard of such a thing before. When making a monster your familiar, you give it a name. And if the monster accepts it, the contract is complete. And the monster will glow in accordance with how powerful it is.”
“A familiar contract…”
Now that I thought about it, when I first came to this world, Ms. Claire had immediately assumed that Leo was a familiar.
Also, I was astonished by the breadth of Sebastian’s knowledge.
“Sherry… Did you become my familiar?”
“Kyau!”
Sherry nodded at Ms. Claire’s words, and then jumped on her as if to express her joy.
“Ahh! Oh, Sherry. You mustn’t jump on me like that, as it is most alarming.”
“Kyau! Kyau!”
Still, Ms. Claire looked quite happy as she petted Sherry. And Sherry seemed to really enjoying being held and petted by Ms. Claire.
“So, Lady Claire now has a familiar…”
“Is there a problem with that, Sebastian?”
After the explanation, Sebastian just looked at Ms. Claire and Sherry as if he could not believe what he was seeing.
Ms. Claire was the daughter of a duke.
Perhaps having a monster as a familiar was something that was frowned upon.
“No, not really.”
So there was nothing.
I’m not sure why I was even worried…
“If anything, this is quite wonderful. While she is not a Silver Fenrir, fenrirs are still proud and powerful monsters. She will be a perfect guard for you, my lady.”
“Yes, she could be like a guard.”
Like a watchdog?
Well, if she could protect Ms. Claire, that was a good thing.
However, when looking at Sherry yelping in Ms. Claire’s arms, I could not see this proud and powerful monster that Sebastian spoke of.
“Oh, but sister! I want one of these…familiars? Too!”
Said Tilura jealousy as she watched her sister holding Sherry.
“Tilura, it is very difficult to make a contract with a familiar. And so you will just have to be satisfied with playing with Sherry. Go, Sherry.”
“Kyau.”
Sherry did as instructed and scampered off towards Tilura in order to play with her.
Leo also joined them.
“That being said, a contract with a familiar… It’s all thanks to you, Mr. Takumi, that I was able to do it.”
“No, not at all. I barely did anything.”
I felt as if they were giving me credit for everything these days. But I really didn’t deserve it.
Besides, I wasn’t used to hearing words of gratitude…
