Chapter 22: Beastmaster Guild and Contract
Chapter 22: Beastmaster Guild and Contract
I had to make a magic stone before I could go to the Beastmasters Guild, so I went back to the inn and started making magic stones. By the way, it seems that this smelting skill can only be used inside certain buildings in town.
Well, since I had learned about the commercial tools earlier, I guess it would be a problem to do it on the street.
The probability of making the magic stone was about 50%. I've tried twice and failed once. However, if I do it again and again, my skill level will naturally increase. Then the probability is gradually increasing......I feel it.
At any rate, I consumed all the stones I had. The alchemy skill has improved.

I created magic stones about 50 times and got 30 magic stones. That's about a 60% chance. I don't know if that's good or bad. I decided to go to the Beastmasters Guild, since I had the magic stones ready.
We arrived at the Beastmaster Guild. It was an instantly recognizable building. I could tell because of the realistic animal signs. The reason why they made it so realistic is a mystery......anyway, I went inside.
"Welcome to the Beastmaster Guild"
The woman who was serving the customers in a cumbersome manner opened her eyes. Then she disappeared in an instant and hugged Lily next to me. Fast, this person!?
"Ya~h! What is this girl? C~u~t~e~!"
"Eh!? Eh!? Eh!?"
Lily is completely overwhelmed!
"Bouncy cheeks~......smooth hair~......haa......haa......danger! I got a nosebleed......"
"Takutoo~......help~......this person is scary~......"
This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com
Well, it's usually scary......I'm worried that I'll be kidnapped as it is.
"Please stop it! Guildmaster!"
Spaaaaaan!
"Ouch!?"
Another male staff member hit the woman with a paper fan. That sounded good! The woman cowering in place, holding her head. Lily is released from the hug and hugs me from behind.
"What are you doing......?"
"What, nothing. What does Guildmaster do to bother our customers?"
"It can't be helped......it's not every day we get a rare kid like this and I've been tired of all the wolves, squirrels, boars, chicks and bugs lately"
"You're being too frank"
I don't know what to say......they make a good pair. The two of them.
"Well, I'm the guildmaster here......, no way! There's also a saber-toothed tiger and a snowy owl! This is heaven!?"
"Don't derail each time! The story doesn't go on!"
"Come here~. Come~"
The guildmaster is crazy about Konoha. The angry voltage of the staff member is rising.
"...It seems that you need more paper fan slaps..."
"Wait! I was listening properly!"
"Really......please be quick"
That sounds like a lot of work.
"Yes, yes. My name is Aura. I'm the guildmaster here"
"I'm Takuto, a Summoner"
"Takuto-kun, you say? You want to join the guild, right? Isn't that right?"
Aura-san is going to come at me......, but is it my imagination or do I feel threatened?
"Your attitude is too different from the people you've been up to......please calm down"
A man came between us......thank you for your help.
"I'm going to do that......I want you to teach me how to make a contract with these children"
"Eh? How to make a contract...ah!? He~, that's so unusual. Did you feed and tame them?"
"Yes. Is it really that rare?"
The Alchemy Guild taught me a lot of things, so I was wondering if I could ask her about my feeding skill?
"It's very rare. First of all, as a summoner, you need to find a summon monster that you can feed, right?"
"Summon monster?
What's that?
"Ah, you don't know, do you? There are taming monsters, summoning monsters, common monsters and normal monsters. Tame monsters are monsters that can be tamed and summon monsters are monsters that can be summoned with summoning magic. A common monster is a monster that can be both tamed and summoned while a normal monster is a monster that can neither be tamed nor summoned"
Hee. I didn't know that there was a classification for monsters. But I don't think it's that difficult to find a summon monster. In my case, it came from my opponent.
"And to get back to the point, the key to feeding the monster is that the food must match the taste of the monster. Monsters are basically gourmets, so ordinary food will not do. It is said that you need to be a professional level cook. In addition, the feeding skill is exclusive to beastmasters and summoners and cannot be acquired by cooks"
Does that mean that Gray and the others approve of my cooking? I'm sure it was just an ordinary dish, but I'm pretty happy about this.
"And the feeder has to be liked by the monster. That's why it's not enough to have cooking skill to be a successful feeder. And even if a person with a feeding skill cooperates, they won't get it. That's why there are very few people who can unlock the feeding skill"
So you're saying that the feeding skill is a very rare skill!?
"It's not a skill that people like to take. A beastmaster can just tame it for free and a summoner can just summon it normally"
Can you please stop lifting me up and then dropping me! Cooking isn't free, and it may be a hassle. It's not a problem. I'm not just a regular summoner with Lily, I'm a summoner with one more thing to do. I'll just go my own way. I'm not in a strategy group and I can't be bothered to think about it.
"It's a powerful skill for a fledgling summoner like you, Takuto. After all, it doesn't hit the summoning limit"
It is true that there is a limit of one magic stone summon per day. Does that mean that my current situation is abnormal?
"By the way, this summoning limit increases as the level goes up, so it's a skill that really gives you an advantage only at the beginning"
So don't drop it! It's important to get off to a good start!
"Huhu. I wonder if the explanation is like this for the time being. Then, let's register for the guild first! The contract is after that"
"I understand"
Then I registered with the Beastmasters Guild. Then I found a lot of quests that I had already completed. Here it is.
Guild Quest Make a intermediate demi-human a companion: Difficulty B
Reward: 5000G
Show an intermediate demi-human to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Use your feeding skill to make a summon monster your companion: Difficulty B
Reward: 5000G
Show the Beastmaster Guild a summon monster that you made a companion with your feeding skill.
Guild Quest Make a Gray Wolf your companion: Difficulty F
Reward: 500G
Show the Gray Wolf to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Snowy Owl your companion: Difficulty F+
Reward: 500G
Show the Snowy Owl to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Saber-toothed Tiger your companion: Difficulty F+
Reward: 500G
Show the Saber-toothed Tiger to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Wolf your companion: Difficulty F-
Reward: 100G
Show the Wolf to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Owl your companion: Difficulty F
Reward: 300G
Show the Owl to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Tiger your companion: Difficulty F
Reward: 300G
Show a Tiger to the Beastmaster Guild.
Difficulty B is the highest difficulty of quests posted on the board. This means that Lily and my feeding skill is the highest difficulty. Thanks to this, the level of the Beastmaster Guild went up by three.
And I got quite a bit of money as a result. I feel like a lot of things would have been better if I had come to the Beastmaster Guild from the beginning, but I didn't know about it, so there's nothing I can do about it.
Midway, Aura-san told me that she would give me a lot of money if I would let her touch Lily all the time, but Lily's face turned pale and she looked at me. I felt sorry for her, so I said no and Aura-san put on a kind face behind her disappointment. ......Maybe she was testing me?
And now it's time to sign the contract.
"If you prepare a magic stone and the summoned beast wants a contract, it's over"
"......What if it doesn't want it?"
"If it escapes or goes wild......in the town, the guild will move to take it down"
Eh......that's just too sad.
"I'm sure you'll be fine, Takuto-kun. If they don't want to sign a contract, those kids should have long since run away"
That's the problem.......
"Shall we use the summoning room to be on the safe side?"
"The summoning room?"
"Yes, it's a special place where summoners call summoned beasts"
"Can't we summon them somewhere else?"
It should have been possible at an inn as usual.
"Yes, you can. But the Beastmaster Guild doesn't recommend it because some summoned beasts don't like each other at first. There are many different personalities and it would be unfashionable to call up a dangerous summoned beast and have it rampage through town, so we have high level summoners use this summoning room"
It's complicated......now we're alone in the summoning room. Aura-san didnt come. When asked why, it's a special time for summoners and beasts to summon or sign a contract. It was a story that was tactless to disturb it.
I took out three magic stones, placed them in front of Gray, Kotetsu and Konoha, and faced them and spoke to them.
"Will you continue to adventure with me?"
""Gau!""
"Hoo!"
Answering my question, Gray, Kotetsu and Konoha were sucked into their respective magic stones. When it was over, info flowed.
Gray Wolf, Gray has signed a contract
Saber-toothed Tiger, Kotetsu has signed a contract
Snowy Owl, Konoha has signed a contract
Is this the end......I was so nervous~.
"Now everyone is with Lily!"
"That's how it's going to be. Speaking of which, can Lily become a magic stone?"
I've never tried it before.
"I can, but I don't want to!"
You don't like it......then, let's keep it that way for a while.

Author note
I wrote about the various problems of feeding skill and monster descriptions.
The following is a summary of the requirements to obtain the feeding skill.
You need to be a professional level cook, a Summoner or a Tamer and be liked by monsters. There are various requirements to be liked by monsters, such as high level and whether the player's personality matches the monster's own. In case you're wondering, Gray became Takuto's companion because he seemed to be able to provide him with delicious food every day.
