I've Inherited the Summoning Skill, So I'm Going to Try to Master It! - Episode 10: In Other Words, I Can Do Whatever I Want

Episode 10: In Other Words, I Can Do Whatever I Want

“Rufus, Rufus!” 

“Hm? Oh, Gilliam-onii-sama, Leonard-onii-sama, what’s the matter?” 

“What’s the matter? We heard from His Majesty the King that you summoned a magical creature called a Red-Eyed White Feather Dragon. So we rushed to find you!” 

“That’s right. I don’t know what kind of magical creature it is. But if you got hurt, it would be a disaster.” 

As I was leaving Mother’s room, my two older brothers came rushing over. If they keep running in the hallway, Mother will scold them, you know? I managed to avoid trouble, though. 

It seems they were worried about me and came to look for me. How thoughtful. 

Or rather, could it be that Father has completely entrusted them with keeping an eye on me? Knowing that my brothers are overly indulgent towards me, and that I adore them in return, he must have thought it convenient. 

“Leonard-onii-sama, there’s a misunderstanding. This cute and fluffy creature wouldn’t hurt me.” 

As I said this, I held up the embodiment of fluffiness, Lagios, with both hands. They seemed bewildered by its adorable appearance. 

“So, this is the magical creature His Majesty mentioned? It’s much fluffier than I imagined.” 

“Not just fluffy, but it looks like it has an amazing texture too.” 

They hesitated. They were reaching out and pulling back their hands, as if they wanted to touch it. 

I wonder what Father told them. Did he say something like “It’s dangerous to approach Lagios”? That’s not true at all. 

“Do you want to pet it? It won’t attack unless I order it to. Probably.” 

“Probably…” 

“Probably, huh. Well, okay, I’ll give it a try.” 

Leonard-onii-sama was a physical powerhouse with a Sword Saint Skill. He fearlessly reached out to Lagios. He must think he can easily dodge if it tries to bite him. 

But Lagios can also breathe fire, you know? What would he do if that happened? It wouldn’t just be a minor burn. Oh well, it’s my job to keep Lagios under control. 

“Whoa, this feels even better than I expected. Amazing!” 

“If Leonard says that, now I’m curious too.” 

This time, Gilliam-onii-sama reached out to touch Lagios. Unlike Leonard-onii-sama, Gilliam-onii-sama is a brilliant intellectual with the Scholar Skill. He might even suggest researching Lagios someday. But I’ll have to politely decline when that happens. 

“This… it feels softer than a Merry Sheep!” 

My two brothers reveled in the fluffiness. A Merry Sheep, as I recall, is essentially the sheep equivalent in this world. It’s similar in appearance to the ones from my previous life. They’re livestock, though. So no one has ever thought of keeping one as a pet. What a shame. 

(Note: The “sheep” is written in japanese, while the “Merry Sheep” in English. Hence, it makes sense on the MC‘s side to ponder about it.)

In the end, my brothers wouldn’t let me go for the rest of the day. They must have been seriously worried about me. Even though the Skill Inheritance Ceremony was over and I’m no longer a child. 

It was then time to sleep. I moved Lagios and Pii-chan, who I had been cuddling on the sofa, to the bed. 

“It’s been a rough day with so much going on. You must be tired too, Lagios. Let’s sleep together.” 

“I don’t mind, but is it really necessary for you to cling to me?”

“It is. Goodnight, then.” 

Following my desires, I used Lagios as a hug pillow and drifted off to sleep. Its heavenly softness promised me sweet dreams. 

—

When I came to, I was standing in what looked like a circular arena. Unlike a typical arena, the scenery stretched into endless blue skies. It had clouds visible below me. It felt like I had ascended to the heavens. 

…………Wait, did I die again? Did indulging in fluffiness send me straight to heaven!? 

“I have taken the liberty of summoning your soul to this one. Which was on the verge of death in the other world.” 

“You’re that person from before…” 

“Indeed. I am the Creator God of this world. I was the one who handed you the ticket for reincarnation.” 

Thank goodness. It wasn’t something horror-related—it was just the Creator God. If this had been a full-blown horror scenario, I might have wet myself. 

“As expected of an Earthling. You remain calm and composed. I’ve heard that such things are everyday occurrences for people from Earth. And it seems to be true. Fascinating!” 

“Well, that might only apply to certain regions of Earth. So, is there something you’d like me to do?” 

For some reason, the Creator God nodded repeatedly at my question. She was looking deeply impressed. Did I say something that remarkable? 

“I’m truly glad I summoned you to my world. You’re quick to understand—such a relief! I’ve heard Earthlings have incredible imagination. With that imagination, combined with your exceptional love for animals, I’d like you to help raise the awareness of the Summoning Skill.” 

Raising awareness of the Summoning Skill? True, it seemed to be a super-rare skill with very few users. But how does that relate to anything? And when you say “raise awareness,” what exactly am I supposed to do? 

“So… does that mean I should just use the Summoning Skill as much as possible?” 

“Exactly! Please use the Summoning Skill extensively. The more humans on the surface use the Summoning Skill, the more magic power I can channel from here into the world.” 

The Creator God smiled happily. It seemed that she’d been struggling to send sufficient magic power to this world until now. 

I had assumed magic power circulated through the world like water. But apparently, that’s not the case. 

It seems that once magic power is consumed, it doesn’t naturally recycle through the environment—it’s truly gone. 

And humans aren’t the only ones consuming magic power. Animals, monsters, plants—every living thing uses it in some way. 

If the world’s magic power were to run out………….. the thought alone is terrifying. 

There’s only one choice here: I have to accept. Plus, it’s not a bad deal for me. After all, with the Creator God’s endorsement, I can freely summon as much fluffiness as I want! 

“Will you take on this task?” 

“Absolutely!” 

And so, as a mission bestowed upon me by the Creator God, I was granted the right to create my fluffy harem. Victory is mine!
