Chapter 22 – Greetings of Fio and the Beasts The next day, I woke up to find someone licking my face. Well, I actually knew who it was before I even opened my eyes. “Kyu kyu.” When I opened my eyes, I saw Hippolius’s enormous face. Its large mouth was opened just a little, and…
Chapter 21 – God of Language Before entering the house, I spoke to Fio and Shiro. “A friend called Hippolius is inside. Hippolius is my familiar.” “Hipo?” “Yes. Hippolius is huge and strong, but not scary. So don’t worry.” “Fio’s not scared.” Fio and Shiro’s tails were sticking up proudly. “Alright. I’m going to open…
Chapter 20 – The Child’s Skill The taming had failed. No, the magic circle hadn’t even activated. It was as if it had been nullified completely. This had never happened before. I had even tamed high-ranking dragons. Not only that, but I had received permission from the Demon Wolf that was to be tamed. It…
Chapter 19 – Taming a Demon Wolf The child stared at the meat. It was drooling. “You can eat it.” I said with a smile. And then I took a step back to give it some space. This I also did very slowly. Steam was rising from the meat. As time stopped inside of the…
Chapter 18 – The Mystery Child “Ohh?” I reeled after having been tackled. And the spell was interrupted. “Arghhh!” It was the mysterious creature. I shouted as it rammed into me. While it was small, it was terrifically fast. But it was also light in weight, and weak. And so even after being hit, I…
Chapter 17 – The Demon Wolf’s Story While it now understood that I wasn’t hostile, it had still not let its guard down completely. It crouched low and inspected me. ‘What are you doing here?’ “…” While hesitant, it replied. I had been right, and they had come here to eat after being lured by…
Chapter 16 – Demon Wolf and the Mysterious Creature There was a new moon that night. And so it was almost completely dark outside. I had to scan the area outside of the window while relying entirely on the starlight. Just as I initially thought, there were only two shadows there. And one of them…
Chapter 15 – Midnight Visitor Before lying down on the wood-paneled floor, I took out a blanket from my magic bag. It was the same one that I used for many years while on the quest to slay the Demon King. During such hard journeys, sleeping outside was the norm. And so this blanket was…
Chapter 14 – Landing Celebration The boar that Hippolius caught was very large. It had the weight of about ten grown men. Even the meat, once the organs and bones had been removed, still weighed a lot. And so it was too much for even twenty gluttonous Adventurers to finish eating. I ate the meat…
Chapter 13 – Boar Meat Party Not much had been done with cooking the meat. It was just seasoned with salt and pepper and then roasted. Still, the Adventurers ate it as if they were starving. “It’s delicious!” “Aye, even with just salt and pepper, it’s great!” “And pepper has been much cheaper recently.” Victor…
Chapter 12 – Dinner Preparation I decided to show my appreciation to Hippolius, as it had worked so hard today. And so I shared a little magic energy while patting it. “How is that, Hippolius?” ‘The magic is delicious!’ I was regularly offering magic energy to Hippolius. Nearly half of my magic was taken away…
Chapter 11 – Hippolius, House and Hunting It took about forty minutes to complete Hippolius’s house after activating the crafting skill. And if I included the time taken to prepare, which included using the appraisal skill and gathering rocks, it took over an hour. “Hippolius, it’s finished.” I said while looking around. However, Hippolius was…
Chapter 10 – Building Hippolius’s House There was something that I needed to check before I started to build Hippolius’s house. “Hippolius. Put down that tree and come over here.” ‘Whaat?’ “I need to check something.” ‘Kyuru. Okay.’ I put my hand on Hippolius and studied the dragon carefully. Its skin felt quite wet. “You…
Chapter 09 – Base Making – Building the Houses I petted Hippolius before I started building. “Hippolius, I’m going to use the crafting skill now, so I won’t be able to watch you knock down trees for awhile.” ‘…Okay. Kyu.’ Apparently, Hippolius would work even when not being watched. With some relief, I started to…
Chapter 8 – Base Making – Gathering Wood As we discussed how we would build the houses, the other Adventurers landed. Victor immediately gave the order for them to start cutting down trees. “If you don’t hurry, you’ll have to sleep outdoors or on the ship tonight.” “I’d hate that!” “Yes. Let’s hurry.” And so…
