The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - 74

Chapter 74: A Bright Future

“Everyone, the meal is ready.”

In the evening, Celia began grilling meat in a corner of the garden.

There were so many people gathered, so there wasn’t time to make complicated dishes. It was decided that something simple and easy to eat would be best.

However, this wasn’t just any meat. There was a surprise involved.

Previously, I had accidentally dropped raw meat before cooking it.

At that time, I used Purifying Flame to clean it, and it ended up purifying the bl00d inside as well.

That alone made it taste much better than usual, so I was sure everyone would enjoy it.

By the way, during the meal, Marguerite’s messenger arrived with a large amount of meat. It seemed that he had been responsible for encouraging Carol, and the meat looked quite expensive, so we served it alongside.

By the barbecue, staff from the Tamer Guild, Lebrant, and Carol were gathered, eating the meat.

Seeing their expressions, I was sure that serving this meal was the right choice.

“However, I should have asked earlier…” I thought, watching everyone eat and checking the garden.

The once overgrown garden, full of weeds, was now completely cleared.

The Golden Goat had eaten so much that a lot of progress had been made that day alone. I thought it would be finished in a few days, so I listened to the conversations around me.

In front of the barbecue, a tamer was speaking to Celia.

“So, the Golden Goat’s milk has that effect?” he asked.

“Yes, it’s good for beauty and health and is very nutritious. It’s not practical to milk wild Golden Goats, so there’s not enough to go around. That’s why it’s only sold to some high-end restaurants,” Celia replied.

I was happy to hear a fellow tamer talk about living with their familiars.

“Can I pet it a little?” the tamer asked.

“Sure, it likes having its chin scratched. Be gentle,” Celia said.

The tamer gently scratched the Golden Goat’s chin, and it made a contented sound.

“Meh!”

“Ah!” The Golden Goat leaned against her, enjoying the attention.

“The Golden Goat is so cute,” I said, approaching them.

Watching the Golden Goat rub against them, I felt my heart calm. It was a monster that would normally be hostile, but it was living in harmony and building trust with them.

“Yes, I think so too. Living with a familiar is difficult, but it’s a small thing compared to how cute they are,” the tamer said, smiling as he scratched the Golden Goat’s head. All tamers know the happiness of living with their familiars.

As I thought about how I wanted more people to see this happy scene…

“The founder of the Tamer Guild, Rint de Boyle, showed the way for people to coexist with monsters. He taught how to make monsters familiars, and the guild grew to influence the nation like this,” Lebrant said as he came over to speak to us.

“Now, it’s our job to show the public that humans can coexist with monsters. The Tamer Guild needs to take on necessary jobs like today’s and show that familiars are not dangerous,” he continued.

Could that be the real reason why members of the Tamer Guild had gathered today?

By showing the usefulness of familiars, we needed to spread the understanding to those around us. It seemed that Lebrant was also thinking a lot about the Tamer Guild.

“So… that’s the mission of us tamers?” I recalled what Douglas had said once—that familiars are not just monsters that follow humans blindly.

I wondered if he had wanted to tell me not to rely too much on my familiars.

I looked into Lebrant’s eyes.

“I agree with that idea.”

Talking to other tamers and interacting with familiars I had never seen before was a good experience. I knew I would meet many people as a tamer from now on.

When that time comes, I would need to tell them, just like today, that familiars are not a threat. Humans and monsters can coexist.

“I hope that one day, it becomes common for people to have small familiars at home,” a tamer said.

I imagined children running around in the garden with their familiars.

I too, along with Lebrant, hoped that such a future would come.
