Chapter 193: CH 193

 A New Familiar


The role of finding an alpha male wolf-type monster was undertaken by the Wind Spirits. Their toll is my magic power. Apparently, for reasons I do not know, it’s delicious.

And so, information relating to a wolf monster came from the Wind Spirits.
Without delay it’s been decided that some people would go.
Besides myself and my usual escort Sophia, the members today are: Akane, who says she has always wanted to have a dog ever since she was in Japan, and Lulu-chan, Akane’s attendant.

「A wolf monster is different from a dog, you know. And we’re not going to buy a pet.」
「I know. But wolves are from the same family, right? I want to cuddle with it!」

Akane’s nasal breathing was very rough as she said strange things. Now that I think about it, there was a time when I saw her be disliked when she tried touching Lulu and Laeva’s ears and tails.

It’ll be our first time going to the monster nest so we couldn’t teleport. So this time as well, Tsubaki’s carriage ran at explosive speeds in the savage lands.
Inside the carriage, I opened the topic of Akane’s excitement with her.

「Umm, by any chance, do you plan on taming a wolf monster, Akane?」
「That’s right! Cuz~ Takumi, you have Kaede, Tsubaki, and Titan, don’t you? Even Sophia managed to tame a Thunder Eagle, isn’t that too enviable?!」
「Akane-sama, your true intentions are leaking nya.」

Akane seems to be envious of Sophia who has tamed a Thunder Eagle which she named 『Gloam』 and is affectionate with.
According to Kaede, monsters do not have feelings. They can interpret words, that’s why they’re cute.

「Listen, you’re aware that you won’t know whether you can or can’t tame it, right?」
「I know that! That’s why I’m gonna ask Kaede-chan to help me!」

Familiars would not make contracts with just anyone. There’s also compatibility with the target monster, so if Akane does not have the quality to tame it, it would be impossible no matter what.

「No matter how I think about it, there’s no chance I wouldn’t be able to do it.」

Akane was already thinking up names and was muttering all sorts of them.

Haa, this time I think I should focus on support.

As she listening to the voice of the Spirits, Sophia acted as our navigator, and the monster nest we arrived at was a grassland-type monster nest.

「Kaede, if we find the wolf monsters, can you catch the whole pack including the boss?」
「No worries. Leave it to me, Master!」
「Please, Kaede-chan.」

Akane was desperate. It’s not a pet though~

「Ah, found it.」

At that moment, Kaede seemed to have found the wolf monsters.

「How many pack members?」
「5 weaklings and an average boss.」

Kaede’s “average” is probably around a C rank. I also perceived presences close to the direction Kaede had pointed to.

Kaede was smiling. It looks like she’s already done setting up her silk trap.
The monsters closed in enough that they could be seen.

「5 Shadow Wolves and that’s a Luna Wolf.」

Sophia told us what the approaching monsters were.
Just like the shadow in its name, the Shadow Wolves have jet black fur. The Luna Wolf leading them has shiny silver fur.

Akane’s eyes were crazed. Perhaps it was to her liking.

The Shadow Wolves growled, but more than anything, the large Luna Wolf was calm. The moment they attacked us, they were already caught in Kaede’s threads.

The Shadow Wolves growled loudly and viciously. As expected, the Shadow Wolves just growled. Primarily, wolves don’t bark like dogs. This is the same even for wolf monsters, and they only use it to communicate with their companions.

「Akane, why not give it a try once?」
「I’d try my best even if you don’t tell me to!」

Akane approached the Luna Wolf that couldn’t move.


Whether it was Akane’s desperation or enthusiasm, I don’t know, but the Luna Wolf acted as if it were scared. Well, maybe it was taken aback by her.

Akane and the Luna Wolf glared at each other. The already close to surrendering Luna Wolf looked away.

「You, surrender to me! You’re already mine!」

Aaaaaah, it looks like she’s tamed it. The Luna Wolf had become completely obedient. The Shadow Wolves also became docile. I guess that was a success.

「……at any rate, isn’t it huge?」

Right, even though the Shadow Wolves feel larger than the normal wolf, the Luna Wolf is bigger than the lions and tigers I remember in my past life.

「What!? You’ve got a problem with my Ferryl?!」
「Ah, the taming succeeded. So you’re giving it the name “Ferryl”, huh. ……nope, I’m not complaining.」

It was then that Kaede rescinded her threads, and restoring her erased presence and suppressed magic power. Because it would be an annoyance if other monsters come, I cut off the effect of the Overcoat of Existence Concealment and released slightly coercive magic power so I could make my presence known rather than erase it. In doing so, I knew that the monster presences that I sensed became more distant. Still, it looks like just that much is already inexcusable……….

Kyan, kyan.

As soon as we did, the foolish Shadow Wolves and even the Luna Wolf posed submissively, exposing their stomach to Kaede and I.

「Wa-wait! Why is Ferryl showing its stomach too?! I’m its master, aren’t I?!」
「Akane-sama, please calm down!」

Lulu-chan pacified Akane who was getting agitated. Exchanging looks, Kaede and I erased our presence and suppressed our magic power.

「……Kuuu~~n」
「I wonder if they’re scared.」
「Master, it can’t be helped. These guys are weak, so it’s normal for them to be scared of Master and Kaede.」

Monster ranks were arbitrarily set by people, but they were surprisingly accurate estimations of monsters’ statuses. And a Luna Wolf is C rank, while Kaede is above S rank. There is a clear difference in strength even with just one rank different, so for Ferryl and the Shadow Wolves, Kaede is probably a being that they must never oppose.

「I’ve instructed Ferryl to command the Shadow Wolves. Particularly a strict warning to not attack the people of the Sanctuary. Takumi, could you transport them with Subspace?」
「Sure sure.」

When I opened the entrance to the Subspace I used during the time I created the biotope, the Shadow Wolves entered the Subspace at Akane’s command.

「Huh? Ferryl isn’t entering the Subspace?」
「It’s fine if it enters the carriage, right?」
「Err, the carriage is spacious so it’s fine, but we’re teleporting back, you know.」
「…………now then, let’s go back with teleportation.」
「Yup, let’s go.」

Passing on a retort at Akane’s grand gloss-over, we teleported on the spot and returned to the Sanctuary.
