Morning With A Familiar
………the area around my stomach feels strangely heavy. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
What, is this? It feels like there is a stone weight placed on top of my stomach.
I wonder if I have an upset stomach? Or maybe I’m sick?
As I was having such thoughts with hazy, drifting consciousness, I felt something bump against my arm this time.
Then, I felt a lukewarm sensation on my face.
Surprised by the mysterious feeling and opening my eyes, I saw Fuku - the Shiba Inu - in front of me panting with his tongue out.
「Wan!」
「……being woken up by fluffs first thing in the morning is the best」
27 years of dreaming of having a fluffy pet. It’s a scenario I’ve dreamt of many times.
I was so moved I almost cried. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Like, even after staying up all night, I’d still be happy to be woken up by a fluffy pet.
「Fuku, good morning」
「Wan!」
Fuku replied with an energetic bark when I greeted him.
「Some people are still sleeping, so keep it down, okay?」
Judging from the brightness of the room, it is definitely still earlier than usual.
Some of the family members might still be sleeping so I hold my index finger in front of my mouth to tell Fuku.
I sit up, rub my eyes, and stretch.
I let out a deep sigh, I patted Fuku’s head and ears as he leaned on me, as if telling me to pay attention to him.
Then Fuku narrowed his eyes contentedly and stayed still, staring intently.
The fur on his head and forehead is thin but it’s smooth and silky to the touch, making it feel pleasant.
I’m also happy being able to pet him while Fuku is also happy being petted. What a great relationship this is.
Just playing around with a Shiba Inu on your bed without doing anything else from early morning is really the best.
「Arc-sama, it is time for breakfast」
That blissful moment came to an end when a maid came knocking on my door.
「Wan!」
「Kyaaa! Wha, what is is?!」
Fuku runs toward the maid who entered.
He doesn’t actually lean on the maid but just moves around restlessly near her a little.
「Ahaha, I guess he just found you curious since it’s his first time seeing you」
「I, is that so? Pleased to meet you, I am a maid working for the Kontract house, Aletta (アレッタ)」
Aletta timidly makes eye contact with Fuku and introduces herself.
She is one of the maids who has served the Kontract house ever since I was still little.
I haven’t asked her exact age since it’s kinda scary to do so, but I guess she’s around 17 years old.
「This is Fuku, who has become my familiar. Best regards」
「Wan wan!」
「Yes. Please treat me well」
Fuku touched Aletta’s knee as if saying 「Nice to meet cha!」.
What is that, so cute. I’ll get him to do that to me later.
「I heard you Tamed an unfamiliar creature, but he’s very cute isn’t he!」
「Right?」
There is always someone familiar wandering around the Kontract mansion.
So basically, all the servants working here love animals and monsters.
Or rather, they won’t be able to work here otherwise. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Although Aletta knows nothing about Shiba Inu, it seems like she quickly noticed how cute Fuku is.
「May I touch him?」
「Sure」
After receiving my permission, Aletta bent her knees and reached out to touch Fuku’s head.
In response, Fuku immediately presented his head to be petted.
「Th, this is……!」
「It’s fluffy, right?」
「Yes! It is fluffy!」
Aletta lets out an excited sound, savoring the fur’s sensation not only on Fuku’s head but also on his back.
It looks like Aletta had completely become captive of Fuku’s fluffiness.
「Aletta! How long does it take for you to wake up Arc-sama?」
As Aletta was immersed in petting Fuku, this time a maid with golden hair appeared.
This is Sophie (ソフィー), Aletta’s senpai.
「Ah, Sophie-senpai! Umm, this is, you know….」
「Ara? Arc-sama is awake already? Please head to the dining room if you are ready–ara?」
Fuku approaches Sophie, who looks slightly exasperated at the sight of us playing.
He probably thinks that she would let him get spoiled again since she also wears the same uniform as Aletta. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
He slightly sat on the ground and looked toward Sophie with his round and cute eyes.
「..........so cute」
Sophie, one of the maids working for the Kontract house, are also someone who loves animals and monsters, so she also became captivated by Fuku.
~~~
When I arrived in the dining room, everyone except me had already been seated.
「Sorry I’m late」
「This is your first familiar after all. I know it is unavoidable it will take more time to prepare in the morning because of that, but try not to be late again next time」
「……yes」
Ziruol knows the main reason I’m late but he still went out of his way to warn me.
Let’s take the morning playing with Fuku in moderation.
I sat on my usual seat and Fuku sat down at my feet. So cute.
I wasn’t the only one bringing my familiar, Setsu and Bell were also sitting on the floor waiting.
There was a plate piled with meat in front of Setsu while there was a plate of frozen fruits in front of Bell.
As expected, Ziruol’s familiar - Olga - is not here.
It seems like the Frost Dragon Olga’s nest is in the nearby mountain and she lives freely except when there is a need for her presence.
As expected, when your familiar became that large, it would be difficult to live together in the mansion.
「By the way, what kind of foods does Fuku-chan eat?」
When Runoa asked that, I suddenly had a question.
Fuku is a Shiba Inu but he is also Inugami’s kin so he’s not the regular Shiba Inu.
I know that he loves the dog food we got from his mystery bag yesterday, but I wonder what other type of food he can eat?
「Judging from when he walked in the forest last time, I think he can eat vegetables or fruits. I guess it will be safe to avoid foods that are too oily or salty」
Normal Shiba Inu can eat fruits and vegetables such as cabbage, potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, bananas, strawberries, or apples. I need to be mindful of seeds, stems, cores, or peels that are bad for digestion, cut them to small pieces, and heat them.
However, Fuku ate some nuts on our way back from the forest
Being Inugami’s kind he can eat more types of food compared to normal Shiba Inu and he seems to have a strong stomach, but it might be safer to basically think of him as the same as a Shiba Inu.
「Okay. Let us give him something a little at a time first and see what happens」
「Un, please do it like that」
Runoa passed the message to Aletta when I nodded.
She’ll probably prepare breakfast that suits Fuku and bring it over.
Before long, there is a plate of food placed in front of Fuku.
It’s sliced apples. Hard-to-digest seeds, cores, and peels have been removed.
「「Go ahead and eat」」
Once everything was ready, Runoa and Chloe permitted their familiars to eat.
This is also probably part of a familiar’s training. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Fuku was about to follow along by the two’s voices and Setsu and Bell - who had started eating -, but perhaps realizing I hadn’t given permission yet, he quickly sat back down in a fluster.
He looked at me with a face as if saying 「I haven’t eaten yet, you know?」 was just adorable.
Is that it? So it’s fine for me to say something since I also have a familiar from today onwards.
「Fuku can also eat you know」
I gave the permission with a chuckle and Fuku slowly brought his nose to the apple and ate it.
Then there was a satisfying crunching sound sharishari.
「Well then, let us also have our meal」
「Yes, that’s right」
After confirming that the familiars were eating with no problem, we also had our breakfast at Ziruol’s signal.
The breakfast for this morning for the Kontract house is spring mountain vegetable soup, salmon and cream cheese salad, and also homemade yogurt.
It gives the images of a mixture of Middle-Ages Europe and Nordic food culture.
On other days it will be milk gruel with fruit tea, berry bowl, smoothies, or a banana sandwich, etc.
As someone who prefers Japanese-style food for breakfast, I wasn’t able to eat sweet food, but I’ve been living in this world for 3 years so I’ve become used to it.
Lately, I’ve been feeling restless when I can’t eat something sweet in the morning.
I think people can change if their location also changes.
「Wan!」
Fuku let out a short bark when we were eating.
Looking at his plate, it was completely clean.
Apparently, there’s no problem with giving him apples but the amount is not enough for him.
「We are testing Fuku’s diet today so the amount is small. I’m sorry」
「......kuuun」
「I’ll give you more later, okay?」
When I reached out under the table to give him the dog food from his mysterious bag while pretending to stroke him, Fuku became quiet.
After finishing our meal and communicating with our familiars like so, a relaxed and leisure atmopshere fills the dining room.
Unless we have something to do in the morning, usually the members of Kontract house will have relaxed conversations while spending our time enjoying fruit tea after a meal.
「......even so that is such a strange creature」
Ziruol stares at Fuku with an indescribable expression on his face. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Runoa Chloe has approved of Fuku, but it appears that Ziruol is still a little skeptical of him.
「Does otousan not like Fuku?
「No, it is not I dislike him or anything. Just that, I do not know anything about Fuku….」
Ziruol can tame dragon species, Runoa is the fierce beast-type, while Chloe can tame bear-type, everyone has made a contract with familiars with easy-to-understand strength.
Wherein, their second son made a contract with an unfamiliar creature called ‘Shiba Inu’, so it’s not surprising for him to be worried.
While Ziruol stares intently at him, Fuku is lying leisurely, sprawled on the dining room’s floor.
Now he seems to be concerned about the area around his hindquarters and was licking himself and grooming.
He’s so carefree.
「Ziruol is just worried about Arc and Fuku-chan, you know」
「But, he’s strong enough to defeat a Big Ape, right?」
Ziruol should have also witnessed the spectacle that day. Although I’m still unfamiliar with the knowledge regarding monsters, I understand that the Big Ape is stronger than a normal monster.
And Fuku is even stronger than that monster since he was able to defeat ta Big Ape in one hit.
「That is why I am worried since I do not know anything about him」
「Well, tousan is also a bit of a worrywart though」
「.....oi」
Ziruol’s face looks annoyed after hearing Runoa and Chloe say anything they like
As to be expected, even the head of the house can’t beat the energy of his wife and daughter.
Although it wouldn’t be good to keep Ziruol worried like this.
「Then I will become an impressive Tamer so I won’t make tousan worried. So I’ll be happy if tousan can keep watch over me」
Although I can’t explain that I’m a reincarnator or anything about Inugami or Fuku, I want my actions from now on to make Ziruol think it was a good thing I made Fuku my familiar.
「……………okay then. You have to discuss it with me immediately if you have a problem, all right?」
「Un!」
Perhaps my determination was conveyed to him as Ziruol suddenly smiled as if he was relieved. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
