The Teleportation Magic Circle for Nina Castle is located in the back room of the Tim Monster Hut.
Upon exiting, one finds a large space where four Kidnap Monkeys, tamed in the Empire, roam freely.
“Hey, stop it, Happy! Don’t pull out Pawpy’s hair from the back of his head!”
“Keeey! Uck-uck-uck!!”
“Over there, meanwhile, they’re messing up the Kelpie’s bedding, Clarice.”
What is going on here?
“Mr. Bauer, are you taking them for walks properly?”
“Yes, but he’s always searching for something.”
“…You’re not shortening their walks on rainy days, are you?” “Gikuri”
What’s with “Gikuri” anyway!
“Ms. Clarice, should we call Ms. Helen for this?”
“Please wait, Anju, Mr. Iwamoto.”
“Ai-shu, ai ai!”
Mr. Iwamoto was summoned without any incantation.
“Well, this is something that happened when I was alive. There was a very beautiful OL at a ramen stall.
She ate her ramen so elegantly and deliciously, I couldn’t help but stare.
However, there was one incredibly disappointing and unbelievable thing about her. You see, on her smartphone…”
What kind of story is this? And this pause…
“On her pink smartphone, there was a sticker of… the protagonist from ‘The Hundred-Day Corpse’!!”
“Um, Mr. Iwamoto, you don’t need to explain that story. Look over there.”
“Ah, the Kidnap Monkeys. They won’t follow instructions properly unless all eight of them are together.”
What, really?!
“Mr. Iwamoto, is that true?”
“Yes. In the game, you can’t tame them unless you catch all eight almost simultaneously.
Even after taming, if even one is missing, they gradually stop obeying, even if they participate in actions and combat.”
Ah, so dividing them in half was the problem.
“Then, if we reunite them with the remaining ones in the mansion at Lurs Village…”
“They’ll be back to normal. However, if you don’t fight them regularly, they’ll act on their own, like stealing.”
“Ah, so that’s why.”
Clarice held out the Fairy Ring.
“So, if we have them fight together as the original eight…”
“Yes, please always keep the tamed monster count for a single species at the maximum of eight.”
“There was such a rule?”
Will Succubi not increase anymore then?
No, it’s one of each of the eight types of Succubi.
And that’s a summon, not a tame.
“Mr. Iwamoto, what about summons, not tamed monsters?”
“With summons, it’s a fixed limit of eight per person, regardless of type.”
“So, I can summon eight people too?” “Yes, Summoner. If your level and proficiency reach their maximum.”
The initial choice was four people, but does that mean four more will appear?
“You’re amazing, Mr. Iwamoto. I have so many questions, could you please accompany me like this?”
“It’s my pleasure. If you’re lonely, we can have free talk again.”
“No, no, Mr. Bauer, please be a little more patient with the monkeys.” “All right, I understand.”
(Hmm? Mr. Iwamoto took out some kind of flute.)
“Summoner Anju, may I quiet down those Kidnap Monkeys?”
“Are you going to play that? I want to try!” “Go ahead, please.”
He handed it over so easily.
“Peeeeeeeeeee!!!”
Ah, the four monkeys that were rampaging are now coming over and lining up!
“They’ll stay like this for a while, but if they’re like this for an unreasonably long time, they’ll go back to their old ways.”
“Reasonably long time?”
“Well, like the time it takes to hold it in before going to the toilet, or wanting to drink water, or being too bored.”
Let’s hurry and put them together then.
“Mr. Bauer, can you take them in this state?”
“Let’s try… Oh, they’re following me properly.”
“Then, including the monkeys and Mr. Bauer, ah, I don’t care anymore, let’s use a Teleport Scroll!”
Instead of the Teleportation Magic Circle, they used a scroll and arrived in front of the Lurs Village town hall, or rather, the Commercial Guild.
(Ah, it also handles Adventurer Guild business.)
The sudden appearance of the group surprised the passing men.
“Anju, teleport to the Taming Hut.”
“Ai ai ai!”
Upon instantaneous movement, at the Taming Monster Hut next to the mansion,
the four Kidnap Monkeys that were separated were having a huge fight!
“Peeeeeeeeeee!!!”
Ah, Anju quieted them down again with the flute!
Then all eight reunited, and they seemed to be happily hugging each other. Yes, that’s good.
“Mr. Iwamoto, are we safe now?”
“Yes, of course, they need food, and dried sweet potato is best. Also, regular combat.
However, there is an exception where fighting isn’t necessary, though it’s quite difficult.”
Is there such a method?
It has super-hard difficulty, but it exists.
“Please tell me, Mr. Iwamoto!”
“This is something you’d probably only get with extreme luck, but actually, it’s an item…”
“Yes, what kind of item is it?”
If it can be bought with money, I’ll buy it!
“If you plant the ultra-rare item ‘Mysterious Seed’ and it luckily grows into the ‘Great Tree’,
and you let them live there, you won’t need to force them to fight! However, the acquisition difficulty is too high.”
“…Um, can you see it from the window? Beyond the back mountain, look there.”
“Where…? I see a big tree. Wait, is that…? Ah, that’s…” “Ahhhhh!!!”
I see, we already have it, or rather, it’s growing!
