“We’ve brought them!”
We were still on Mermaid Island.
Anju (Female) had brought along the slave Otuha (Mr./Ms.) whom she had just bought, and the Monster Whitebeard, using a Teleport Scroll.
“Ah, Nastasia (Female), you’re already petting it.”
“It’s so cute and soft to hug!!”
“Eh, cute?!”
Well, its white fur does look nice, but it’s huge.
“Um, Nina (Mr./Ms.)?”
“Let’s get the people sorted out first. Otuha, take this.”
“Yes, the ring.”
Ah, it’s a Fairy Ring.
It’s too luxurious an item for a slave, but it’s for a Level Up.
She’s Level 8 right now, isn’t she? I hope she learns some Magic or Skill soon.
“Now, let’s confirm again. Your age?”
“I am 19 years old.”
“You’re an adult even in the Elf Forest.”
“Within my own being, humans are seven-eighths of me, so I’m considered an adult in human terms.”
Then there’s no helping it.
“Your initial Skill?”
“Yes, my original Skill is ‘Clumsy Quality,’ which has a one in twenty chance of incapacitating the target.”
“5%, huh? I wonder how that will turn out with the Luck stat bonus in our Party.”
Anju (Female) floated gently towards her.
“What’s your favorite food?”
“Sandwiches.”
“What kind of fillings?” “I like anything. If I had to pick, perhaps lettuce and tuna.”
Now, Clarice (Mr./Ms.).
“Are there any skills you’re good at or bad at?”
“I’m not good at physical activity, so I had a hard time when I was taken hunting.”
She’s thin, though she’s tall.
“What are you good at?” “I can sense the paths of the wind.”
“What do you mean by that?” “It’s an escape route for emergencies.”
“So, in complex dungeons…” “I can sense the route to the entrance and exit.”
That’s a bit iffy, too.
Well, it might be useful in a sub-organization.
I guess I’ll ask a question too.
“You have a clear, beautiful voice.”
” I don’t really think so myself, but people tell me I’m a good singer.”
“So, can you sing something? …No, now isn’t the time.” “If you need me to, I can sing anytime.”
Yeah, I think that’s about it for now.
Nina (Mr./Ms.) now turned her attention to the giant fluffy creature.
(Ah, Nataira (Female) is also petting it!)
I thought, ‘What a child,’ then I saw Miss Strena (Mr./Ms.)!
What are you all doing, you old ladies!!
“Its name is Whitebeard, right, Helen (Mr./Ms.)?”
“Yes, I’ve received information from Bauer (Mr./Ms.), who appraised and purchased the Monster.”
“What’s its special ability?” “It can immobilize, make targets sleep, or faint them with its eyes, according to the information.”
It’s similar to a Bard’s ability. I ended up buying it.
I wonder if Clarice (Mr./Ms.) doesn’t want to pet it? Then she seemed to say something.
“…Does it have a charm effect?”
“It’s not stated, but in a way, this immense fluffball might be considered charming.”
“Is that so? Young women would probably all be delighted.”
Ah, so Clarice (Mr./Ms.) isn’t that young… Let me stop myself.
I looked away from Miss Strena (Mr./Ms.).
“Well then, wanna try it out?”
“Anju (Female)?!”
“Come forth, MAINA!”
She’s been summoned.
“I wondered why I was left behind.”
“Hey, MAINA, what do you think of *that*?”
“Wow! Hey, Summoner Anju, can I pet it?”
She took the bait!
“Just for a little bit.”
“Yeeeees!!”
She pounced on it and hugged it!
“Helen (Mr./Ms.), does this Whitebeard seem to dislike being hugged?”
“…It doesn’t seem to mind. Is it because it’s tamed?”
“Ah, speaking of which, is there a sign of taming?” “I’m told it’s on its tail.”
Where, where?!
If I get the direction wrong, I might end up poking its male parts…
This… is it a hand? How confusing!
“…Ah, found it. It’s sticking out a little, and there’s a ring at the base!”
I couldn’t see it buried in the fur.
“Um, Helen (Mr./Ms.)?”
“Yes, Nastasia (Female), what is it?”
“Does it make any noises, like cries?”
Yeah, that’s something I’ve been wondering about.
With that huge mouth, it’s impossible that it wouldn’t make any noise at all.
“You see… it seems to be able to speak one human word.”
“Eh, what does it say?!”
“Master, it’s apparently a word it ‘was taught’.”
It’s like a parrot.
Nina (Mr./Ms.) looked up, her eyes blinking.
“Then let’s make it speak, Helen (Mr./Ms.).”
“Yes, please excuse me…”
She took out her whip and flicked it lightly…!!
“You damn shotacon freaks!!!”
…That’s quite a deep, masculine voice.
(Is this Monster quite old?!)
“Hmm, even if you say ‘freaks,’ I believe I’m the only one it applies to.”
“Nina (Mr./Ms.)! It’s just a word it was ‘taught’!”
Still, who taught it, and for what purpose?
“Understood. Then, let’s decide on the word to teach it next.
I think ‘Understood’ would be good, how about you, Clarice (Mr./Ms.)?”
“Yes. If it doesn’t need to have any particular meaning, perhaps ‘The world is full of love’.”
Will it say that every time something happens? It sounds a bit annoying.
“Um, I think, I think, ‘I’m Deccha!’ would be good.”
Because it’s big, huh?
For Anju (Female), that’s surprisingly sensible.
Following this pattern, Helen (Mr./Ms.) should be next.
“I think ‘Yes, Master’ would be suitable.”
Nastasia (Female) also released her hold and looked up.
“I think ‘Pet away’ would be good.”
That’s your own desire!
And lastly, Nataira (Female), right?!
“Um… Isn’t ‘Understood’ just fine?”
But then it might say it even if it doesn’t understand.
“Then there’s Deles (Mr./Ms.).”
“Ah, right. Then, I’ll take Nina (Mr./Ms.)’s suggestion.
So, how about… given its imposing voice, something like ‘Guhahahaha’?”
If it’s like that, it will have to keep its mouth open all the time.
“These are the suggestions. Miss Strena (Mr./Ms.), which one do you prefer?”
“Let me see. I still think ‘Understood’ is best.”
Well, Taming Monsters cannot disobey orders.
“Alright, Helen (Mr./Ms.).”
“Yes, Whitebeard, take this.”
She showed it the Great Heavenly Tree’s Fruit.
“Now, say ‘Understood’.”
“You damn shotacon freaks!” “Understood!” “You damn shotacon freaks!” “Understood!” “Good.”
She fed it the fruit.
“…Alright, once more.”
She flicked her whip!
“Understood!”
Alright, I’ve taught it.
“Well then, that’s enough. We’re going hunting now. Let’s raise Otuha’s level as much as possible.”
Yeah, if possible, I’d like to raise Dapena (Female), a Bard like me who’s Level 50, but
She seems to be in the middle of training at the Adventurer Guild’s reception, which is good, but who will be the instructor?
Cheer (Female) will be busy as the MC for the Auction, and it’s too early for Verbin (Female)…
“Strena (Mr./Ms.), please wait inside Morita (Mr./Ms.). If anything happens, the vine tentacles will protect you, but
If necessary, go to Jave (Mr./Ms.) in the prison (he’s still there), or escape using a Teleport Scroll.”
“Understood. I will wait here if nothing happens.” “Then, let’s go.”
Saying that, Nina (Mr./Ms.) started walking at the front.
The vanguard is Nataira (Female), followed by Nastasia (Female). The second row is Anju (Female) and Iwamoto (Mr./Ms.) and the others.
No, Haitou (Mr./Ms.) is in the third row, lined up with Clarice (Mr./Ms.), and then me.
(This is bad. I’ve started imagining Clarice (Mr./Ms.) being stolen away again…)
The fourth row is Nataira (Female) and the front-line Succubus group,
Behind them are the other Succubi and Helen (Mr./Ms.), all jumbled up.
Otuha (Mr./Ms.) is being well guarded in the center.
(It’s an easy job! Just by playing a Mini Harp, your Level rapidly increases!!)
The rear guard is the rear-line Succubi and…
That Monster, Whitebeard…!!
“U-ugh, it’s floatinggggg?!”
“Yes, its Skill includes ‘Levitation’.”
“It’s not rolling, it can flyeee!!”
It’s not that high, though.
That makes sense if its limbs were to degenerate…
(I’m glad your fluffiness won’t get dirty!!!)
