A change was occurring in Seiwa and the others of the 46th Floor, where the Fire Fairy Stone had been installed.
Fixed Name: Lanka
Species Name: Seiwa
Unique Skills: Tackle LV5, Flight LV7, Beak Attack LV7, Evasion LV6, Perception LV7, Fairy Language, Language Comprehension (Familiar) LV4, Fire Magic LV5, Divine Power Manipulation LV2
Heavenly Skills: Telepathy LV5, Fire Attribute LV2
Title: Kousuke’s Familiar
Using Lanka as an example, this was their skill composition.
Along with the overall LV up, their Unique Skill “Fire Magic” and Heavenly Skill “Fire Attribute” had increased.
By the way, for Lanka, the species name was “Seiwa,” but for other individuals, it was “Seiran.”
There were almost no differences in skill composition, so Kousuke thought about it for a while, but could not figure out the difference.
“Hmm… I wonder what the difference is?”
“The difference in what?”
Colette, who had accompanied him, asked Kousuke, who tilted his head.
Kousuke explained to Colette that there were “Seiran” and “Seiwa” depending on the individual.
“Perhaps…”
“Do you have any idea?”
“…Is it the difference in gender?”
“No, that’s a bit… I can’t judge that myself.”
It was impossible for him to tell the difference between male and female birds.
“More importantly, Colette, why don’t you ask them?”
Since “Fairy Language” was attached to both “Seiran” and “Seiwa,” Colette should be able to have some conversation.
“Ah, right. I’ll ask them.”
Colette, prompted by Kousuke, finally remembered the “Fairy Language.”
Only about ten of the Seiwa had evolved this time, so Kousuke checked all of them.
As a result, Colette’s guess was correct.
It was determined that males were “Seiran” and females were “Seiwa.”
Although only about ten had been confirmed, it was probably not wrong.
Even if it was wrong, there was no particular problem, so the investigation into “Seiran” and “Seiwa” was stopped with the ten who had evolved this time.
Putting that aside, what was more important were the added skills.
Some individuals who had not evolved possessed “Divine Power Manipulation,” but there were no individuals with the Unique Skill “Fire Magic” and the Heavenly Skill “Fire Attribute.”
It was thought that the evolution was definitely possible because of these two skills.
These were skills that undoubtedly seemed to have been acquired due to the blessing of the “Fire Fairy Stone.”
While the effect of “Fire Magic” was clearly imaginable, the effect of “Fire Attribute” was not quite understood.
“……Hmm…”
Kousuke growled in front of Lanka for a while.
“…Po?”
As if inspired by Kousuke’s state, Lanka tilted her head, for some reason.
Seeing that, Kousuke couldn’t resist reaching out to her neck.
Lanka, rather than disliking it, narrowed her eyes and enjoyed being petted.
Colette watched the scene with an exasperated look.
“…Is something wrong?”
“No, nothing in particular. Even if they are familiars, they are that attached, hmm. As always.”
“Eh? Isn’t that normal?”
“I don’t know? Besides, I’ve never heard of people making summoned beasts into familiars, so I don’t really understand.”
“Hmm… Well, it’s not a problem to be liked, is it?”
“Personally, I think so, but what would others think of it?”
Colette’s words made Kousuke tilt his head.
“…What do you mean?”
“You see. With wolves and foxes, and from a normal perspective, they are monsters.”
Of course, they would be targets for subjugation.
What kind of impression would people have seeing them so attached?
“…Well, at best, you’d be considered eccentric?”
“If they knew the number of familiars Kousuke has summoned, Kousuke himself might become a target for subjugation.”
“Hahaha… No, surely not.”
Kousuke looked at Colette with a strained smile, but Colette shook her head slightly.
In this world, there are people who act like tamers, but most of them only contract with a few, and the top-ranked ones contract with tens of beasts.
Compared to that, Kousuke’s familiars, who are in the hundreds for each species, are nothing short of a threat to others.
“…I’ll be careful not to let them know…”
“You should.”
Colette nodded greatly at the dejected Kousuke.
After all, there would hardly be any occasion to take all his familiars outside the tower, but it was better to be cautious.
Like Nana and Wanri before, if it were just a few individuals, they probably wouldn’t be too wary.
Whether they would take their familiars outside in the future was uncertain.
While they were talking about such things, Kousuke had not stopped petting Lanka’s neck.
And Lanka, as if enjoying it, let herself be petted.

Since Lanka had become so attached, Kousuke decided to achieve another ambition.
He immediately took Lanka and headed for the 80th Floor.
The reason was to have her meet Kou and the others.
Naturally, Kou’s massive body initially made Lanka cling to Kousuke nervously.
After Kousuke rode on Kou for a while, she seemed to get used to it and began to relax on Kou’s back.
Of course, even though he was riding, he was just sitting on Kou’s back and not flying.
Whether Kou knew that his back was being relaxed on or not, he hardly moved.
“…Popopopo.”
“Kyu-o?”
“Po po.”
“Kyu wo.”
After a while, the two began to converse (?), though it was unclear if they understood each other.
Watching them, Kousuke felt a sense of peace, but suddenly Kou leaped into the sky with Kousuke on his back.
“…Whoa!?”
He lost his balance due to the suddenness, but he didn’t fall from his back.
He hastily looked towards where Lanka was, but she had already taken flight.
She was flying leisurely with her blue wings spread out slightly ahead of Kou.
From a brief observation, Kou seemed to be flying slower.
Well, since he had Kousuke on his back, he was probably flying with consideration.
In reality, he was a little curious as to which one was faster, but since it was inside the tower, it was almost meaningless, so he decided not to worry about it.
Kou flew around the 80th Floor for a while with Kousuke on his back.
Lanka flew around him in a circle.
Eventually, the two seemed to be satisfied and returned to the ground where they were before.
Kousuke hadn’t given any specific instructions; he had left it entirely to Kou.
Perhaps a bond had formed between the two during their time in the sky, as Lanka had lost the stiffness she had when they first met.
Now, she was completely relaxed and was lounging on Kou’s back.
As before, they had conversations that Kousuke, of course, couldn’t understand, “Popopopo” and “Kyuokyu-o.”
Seizing the moment when their conversation paused, Kousuke took Lanka and returned to the 46th Floor.
Seeing the two become much friendlier than expected, Kousuke had achieved one of his ambitions.
Did Lanka soften up?
I felt like writing it, so I wrote about their (?), and how was it?
Please read the species names as Seiran and Seiwa.
