Chapter 132: Beastmaster′s Guild Title<hr>
When I came out of the synthetic summoning room, Nephi-san was there.
"I see it went well"
"Yes"
"Then I have something for you, Takuto-san. Pleasee with me"
"? I understand"
I followed Nephi-san and was led to a room on the top floor of the Beastmasters Guild.
And Lily and the others are staying behind again.
Eeh!
It''s a bit unsettling to be away from home for so long. Nephi-san smiled too.
"I''ll have time to talk with Lily and the others againter. Can you be patient with me?"
Really!?
"Yes. I promise"
When I said that, she backed off.
"Thank you for your help. Come inside"
"Yes. Excuse me"
It looks like the room I came in from or whoever''s work room it is. It''s pretty obvious who.
"This is my workroom"
I knew it was Nephi-san''s room. It''s a very neat room.
"First, I have something for you, Takuto-san"
Nephi-san said and took out a beautiful box from her desk.
"Please take this"
When I received it, the information started to flow.
You''ve been recognized by the top NPCs of the Beastmasters Guild and have been awarded the title Dear Summoner
<b>Title Dear Summoner</b>
<b>Effect: Release of special professions, release of special quests</b>
<b>This title is given to summoners who care about their summoned beasts.</b>
"This title!? Why me?"
"As the vice guild master of the Beastmaster Guild''s main branch, I have determined that Takuto-san is qualified to receive this title. At the same time, I have to apologize. I deliberately didn''t tell Takuto-san about the synthetic summoning ego"
Ah...I see. So that''s how it is...this game. It''s so weird.
"You tested me, didn''t you?"
"...Yes. There are two kinds of summoners. Those who summon synthetic summoned beasts without considering the summoned beast and those who respect the summoned beast''s will and decide whether or not to summon synthetic summoned beasts. One of the jobs of the Beastmasters Guild is to figure out which type of Summoner a new Summoner is.
"What happens if it''s the former?"
"The Beastmaster''s Guild has five major levels of evaluation. In the case of summoners, from the top is a summoner who cares about summoned beasts and respects their feelings. A summoner who cares for his summoned beasts but neglects their feelings. A summoner who treats the summoned beasts as tools for battle. Summoner who doesn''t care for their summoned beasts. And Summoner who abuse their summoned beasts''''
So I''ve been a summoner who cares about summoned beasts but neglects their feelings. If you put it in words again, don''t go crazy.
"I''m sorry, but I heard the conversation between Takuto-san, Lily and the others"
"Eh!?"
What!? Wait a minute. I think she said something pretty embarrassing! I mean, how did she do that?
The moment I thought that, I suddenly felt a presence that was far worse than what I felt with Nebiros and Skull-Orthros. Then I hear a third person''s voice.
"Don''t me the girl. She doesn''t like what she''s doing"
A young man wearing rags and holding a scythe suddenly appeared beside me. He was a true god of death.
"I''ve always told you that you can''te out here without permission!"
"Calm down, youngdy. Don''t be so angry. You''ll get wrinkles in the future"
"It''s none of your business!"
What a great duo.
"Oh! You think me and the youngdy make a good pair? You''re a good judge of character"
What? Did he read my thoughts?
"Of course not. I''m a reaper. I can read people''s thoughts as a matter of course"
Scary!? And he just admitted he''s a reaper!
"It''s obvious. And I''m the one who bugged you guys. I''m sure you''ll understand. Am I right? Youngdy"
"No, but it''s a problematic behavior. Haa~...Takuto-san, please keep this reaper and what I just said to you a secret"
Hmm? I know something about the Reaper. It''s not good to let people know about the agent and I''m sure he''s not watching us all the time, but that kind of suspicion wille up.
But why do I have to keep the evaluations and stuff to myself, too?
"People change their behavior when they find out about it, right? If they keep changing their behavior, there''s no problem, but as soon as they get a title, some people change their attitude. That''s why the guild has a rule against giving titles to summoners who know about it"
Uwaa...there are definitely people like that. As for how to know...that''s why we have this reaper.
"That''s what it''s all about"
"I understand. I''ll make sure not to tell anyone about today. I don''t want to cause any resentment"
"Thank you very much. I''ll also give you a guild card. You have to apply for it at the reception desk, okay?"
I got a blue guild card from Nephi-san. I''ve been summoning at the reception for so long that I haven''t updated it at all.
"That''s all I have to say. Please continue to take care of Lily and the others"
"Of course"
After that, as promised, I talked with Lily and the others. The first problem was about fascination.
"You will be fascinated, right? Takuto-sama"
I was afraid of Setia''s smile, so she honestly bathed in Luna''s fascination scales. But there was no change.
"Come on, Takuto-sama. Please push me down!"
I''m fine, though Setia says so.
"What''s wrong with you? Come quickly!"
"Ah~. Setia? Don''t be angry. I''m fine"
"Eh?"
The sound disappeared from the surroundings. It''s a quiet night.
"I, It can''t be! But Koihi!"
"You did that to Koihi, didn''t you? Setia"
When Ion says that, she makes a face that Setia is gone.
"Did that happen? Hey? Koihi"
"Y, Yes! It was not like that!"
Don''t force me to say it. And then I checked the effect of the fascination. The first thing I did was to test it in a duel.
As a result, I don''t push it down, but it seems that my body moves freely and interferes with the attack. It''s a sober and unpleasant condition.
I also check out Luna''s dance, Kitsuneko''s sorcery and possession.
The first is Luna''s Dance, in which Luna''s lovely dance raises the strength of all of us a little. It seems to be a skill that buffs the entire body, though the effect is weak. I think it''s usually strong.
Kitsuneko''s sorcery changes it into Lily. It looks the same as Koihi, but Lily''s voice makes it impossible to say anything but kon. Lily is embarrassed, so I let it cancel.
Finally, possession. Kitsuneko enters me. Then I hear Kitsuneko''s voice from inside me. This is what it''s like, isn''t it? When I don''t resist, my body moves on its own. It''s like Kitsuneko is moving me. I wonder if it''s because of my skill level that I can take control of my body as soon as I resist.
When I asked Lily and the others if they had any requests for me after the skill experiment, their eyes lit up. It''s as if they''ve been waiting for this.
"Pat me on the head at least once a day! Takuto!"
"I take a nap once a day with your...knee pillow"
"Then I''ll have a kiss"
""No, you can''t do that!""
"I''m sorry...is there anything you would like Takuto-san to do for you, Koihi?"
"E...Emm...I want you to brush my tail and hair every day"
Eh? You want me to brush your tail? I''d be happy to do it.
"""That''s a foul!"""
What do they mean with foul? Well, I was enjoying this conversation. The info for the forced logoutes. And I say to everyone.
"Tomorrow, we''ll be going away for a while. I don''t know what kind of enemies we''ll encounter, but let''s all work together and enjoy the adventure!"
Oh~!
Thus ended the night before the first event. I was full of energy and spirit. I''m looking forward to the event now.<hr>
