Ability Bestowed By Inugami
After we finished eating taroimo at the summit, I decided to verify Fuku’s size transformation since I was curious about it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Fuku, grow bigger!」
When I tried shouting the keyword, Fuku’s body glowed golden and he became bigger.
And immediately after that, I hummed 「Get smaller」 after that and Fuku shrank back to his original size. Incidentally, when I imagined the specific size, Fuku became just at that size.
Am I the cause of this ability? But Fuku is Inugami’s kin. So ,since he is different froma normal Shiba Inu it might be possible that it’s just Fuku that is special.
To confirm that, I decided to experiment with Tyrol in the same manner.
「Tyrol, grow big!」
When I tried shouting that and imagining Tyrol’s body growing big in the same way, Tyrol’s body was enveloped in golden light, and he became huge.
「Chun!」
Originally his size was just enough to make me look up slightly, but now Tyrol had grown to exceed 4 meters in height. Tyrol also appears surprised as he spreads his wings and looks at his own body with great interest.
Considering that not only Fuku has grown huge, but also Tyrol, I think this ability seems to originate from me. And it’s obvious that the size changes depending on the image I have.
「How come?」
I wonder if this is also a magic you can grasp if you are a Tamer of Kontract house?
I don’t understand it at all. I’ll ask Ziruol and Runoa when I get back to the mansion later.
「Oh well whatever. Let’s return to the mansion now」
I won’t understand it even if I were to think about it myself, so let’s stop thinking about it.
Runoa and the others are gonna be worried if I were to return late after all.
The taroimo’s amount had decreased quite a bit since Tyrol liked it but we stored around half of them in the mystery bag so you could say that we’ve secured enough taroimo to satisfy Runoa.
Now then, we need to go down from this place if we want to return to the mansion.
When I tried poking my head out from the cliff, I couldn’t see the ground below. I guess it’s because we’re at such a high place.
......so Fuku and I were climbing a cliff top to such a high place, huh.
「Wan!」
Fuku shows his back to me as if saying 「Do you want to get on my back and climb down?」.
I’m happy about his consideration, but I wasn’t confident I could endure the descent from such a high cliff even just by riding on Fuku’s back. If it had been until just now, I would have no choice but to come down and go home, even if I was scared, but now I have a new familiar, Tyrol.
「Say, Tyrol. Could you give us a ride?」
「Chun!」
When I requested that, Tyrol moved closer and bent down as if saying 「Yeah, sure」.
Then Fuku and I climb on Tyrol’s back.
His fluffy feathers are so soft and when I sat down on his back, they bounced back a bit just like an elastic cushion. After Fuku and I firmly sat down, Tyrol look toward us to check and then slowly flapped his wings. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Tyrol’s legs leave the ground and we start ascending gradually to the sky.
「Waa! Amazing! We’re flying!」
「Wan!」
I wonder if the summit of that mountain was more than 100 meters? The mountain Fuku and I climbed with a great deal of effort and difficulty was clearly visible.
I can clearly see the lines of mountain ranges and the extensive plain from the sky. Moreover, I can even see the Kontract house’s mansion and the Korne village, the scenery seen from the sky was exceptional.
After floating in the sky for some time, Tyrol raises his speed a little.
The speed at which the scenery flows past increases and we glide down as if soaring.
And accompanied by that was the strong wind pressure that hit us.
My hair is flying wildly and Fuku’s face is trembling.
The speed is still being held back so we can manage for now, but if it gets any faster then we might need something like goggles. And I might need to equip him with something like a saddle and reins in order to ride Tyrol more stably.
As I was clinging to Tyrol’s body while having such thoughts, we arrived near Kontract house’s mansion.
「Tyrol! Bring us down to the courtyard! That is our house!」
Tyrol heads there once I pointed to where to land.
As Tryol continued to descend, I could see Setsu - who was on the mansion’s roof - looking toward us and preparing for a fight.
Amazing. Setsu is quite wary since we descend toward the mansion’s courtyard without any information about us.
「Setsu! It’s me! Tyrol is my familiar, don’t attack!」
When I shouted like that while showing my face, Setsu calmed down and relaxed her bristling fur.
We landed in the courtyard with relief, and then Ziruol, Runoa, and Chloe appeared from the mansion.
「What is this round bird?」
「Where did you bring it from!?」
Everyone is overcome by surprise at the sudden appearance of the familiar I had brought with me.
「This child's name is Tyrol. I had him become my familiar」
「Chun」
I got off Tyrol’s back and introduced him to everyone.
「……it’s not a Provisional Contract, but a Permanent Contract?」
「Un, it’s a Permanent Contract」
I clearly answered Ziruol’s hesitant question.
「Arc, a Permanent Contract is not something you carelessly use, you know?」
「I know that」
「No, you don’t! It is you we are talking about! You pressed Tyrol to become your familiar because you found him to be cute and fluffy, right?」
「Un, that’s right」
「Oi!」
Even though I haven’t explained the details of making Tyrol familiar, Ziruol said it as if he saw it himself. He didn’t understand anything about me until recently, but it seems like he started to understand my train of thought after I Tamed Fuku. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「To begin with, a Permanent Contract is something that is made only when you have resolved to spend your life together with the familiar of your choosing……」
Ziruol lectured me at great length about the Permanent Contract.
It’s like a father who is trying to make his son - who is rushing to decide on marriage - understand.
「Hmm, it’s not like Arc’s strange criteria for taming were just revealed now……」
Chloe said while glancing at Fuku.
They are the ultimate combination to me, but to my family, my familiars don’t seem like the typical familiar.
「Even so, I wonder if Tyrol-chan is a Blue Bird?」 (ブルーバード)
Runoa looked puzzled while looking up at Tyrol.
「No, its face is different from a Blue Bird its feathers also have different colors. It’s probably a Frost Bird」 (フロストバード)
「But, aren’t Frost Bird smaller? They are not this round」
「Certainly there is something off about its size, but it is definitely a Frost Bird with lustrous blue wings and icy tail feathers 」
As Ziruol said, I tried touching Tyrol’s tail feathers and it was nice and cold, and I could feel mana with Ice element in it.
Apparently, Tyrol’s species name is Frost Bird.
「But still, can they grow this big?」
「It might be a different subspecies than the normal one」
Perhaps it’s because they know about the original Frost Bird as Chloe and Ziruol are having strange expression.
「Ah, it might be because of me if it’s Tyrol’s size」
「...... Arc, what do you mean by that?」
「Grow smaller」
While Ziruol asked me, puzzled about what I said, I said that to make Tyrol return to his original size.
Immediately after that, the 4-meter-tall Tyrol shrank to about 2 meters.
「……haa? The Frost Bird suddenly shrank?」
「Not only can I make it smaller, I can also make them bigger, you know? Grow bigger」
While Ziruol’s eyes are opened wide, seeing that, I enlarged Fuku’s body. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Eh! Fuku-chan’s body had gotten bigger!」
「Even though he was smaller than me just now.....」
As Fuku’s grew in siz,e comparable to Tyrol's earlier, Runoa and Chloe took a step back in surprise.
「Arc, what’s the meaning of this!?」
「Eh!?! I just realized that I can adjust my familiar size, but isn’t that an application of Contract magic, or something?」
「I have never heard of such a thing!」
......eeh! I thought it was surely a technique only Tamer of the Kontract house could learn like the Sense Sharing, but judging from Ziruol and the other’ reaction, it seems to not be the case.
Then, what is this ability?
If I think about someone who is related to such a special ability, then Inugami comes to my mind, but was there an interaction back then where Inugami bestowed me this kind of ability?
I remember the interaction with the Inugami before my reincarnation.
「――All right. Then, I will grant you the ability to be surrounded by fluffy animals」
Come to think of it, I feel like he said he would give me favorable treatment to make it easier for me to live in this world. I had completely forgotten about it because I was so engrossed in the talk about whether I could talk to animals or monsters is a good thing or not, but somehow I felt like a paw pressed against me and power infused into my body.
I think I said I wanted to be surrounded by fluffy animals but don’t tell me Inugami thought I would be physically surrounded by fluffy animals or monsters if they become bigger?
No, when I say I want to be surrounded by fluffy animals, I mean to spend my life peacefully while being surrounded by a lot of fluffy creatures, not being surrounded by physically large fluffy creatures.
......but, this is also good in its own way.
Un, so this means all the fluffy familiars I tame from now on can get bigger?
In other words, if I increase the number of familiars, it’s not just figuratively but I will actually be physically surrounded by them. Isn’t that amazing?!
Though it’s going to be like that, I can’t tell my family about my past life or the ability bestowed to me by Inugami so I desperately tried to dodge the questioning of my suspicious family. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
