The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - 28

The day after Purple evolved, I headed to the plains after leaving the north gate.

Today’s goal is to confirm Purple’s strength after evolution and to see if it can cooperate with Feni and me.

The plains have a few goblins, kobolds, orcs, and occasionally trolls, so the danger is minimal.

I had been cooped up inside buildings for the past few days, and I thought it would be good to also take Feni and Purple for a walk.

“Pii!”

Feni’s Phoenix Feather pierces through a goblin’s body.

“…………##!”

Purple spits out threads, wraps them around a kobold, lifts it into the air, and then drops it to the ground.

“It seems I don’t have a turn…”

Against these two who dominate the sky, I couldn’t possibly win in a search, and the monsters were defeated as soon as they were discovered.

As expected of an S-rank and an A-rank. Even though they are still growing, they don’t let any D-rank monsters near them.

“Pipipip!”

“…………♪♪♪”

Flying around, they discover and hunt monsters relentlessly. At this rate, will all the monsters around the plains be wiped out?

Even though they are enemies, I feel a bit sorry for the goblins and kobolds targeted by these two…

“Pii?”

“…………”

While I watched, the two stopped as if they noticed something. Then, looking at me, Feni and Purple each brought a goblin and a kobold, holding them with their feet and threads.

“Could it be… you’re giving them to me?”

“Pii!”

“…………♪”

Like a cat bringing a mouse, the two looked at me with their round eyes.

Their eyes seemed to say, “Praise us, praise us~”.

“Thank you, both Feni and Purple are great.”

I drew the Sun Sword from its sheath and finished off the exhausted goblin and kobold.

There was a slight sense of guilt in that I only received the final blow to the prey they had hunted, not engaging in the battle myself.

After sheathing the sword, the two approached and offered their heads.

As I patted their heads with both hands,

“Chichichichichichichichi♪”

“…………♪♪♪”

They made satisfied sounds.

While continuing to pet Feni and Purple until they were content, I thought,

“Will there be anyone who can beat these two when they grow up?”

The thought of them becoming far stronger than me in the distant future excited me.

“Well then, both Feni and Purple, be good.”

I left the two with the Tamer Guild since I couldn’t take them with me to my next destination.

“Pii!”

“…………$”

Both Feni and Purple showed a lively demeanor as if to say, “Leave it to us.”

“Feni-chan and Purple-chan are very well-behaved, so you can leave them with us with peace of mind.”

The staff member said with a smile.

“Thank you for taking care of them for the next few days.”

After making the request, I left the Tamer Guild.

The chandelier’s sparkling light poured down, and a red carpet was laid on the floor.

White porcelain plates were stacked on the marble table, and luxurious dishes were overflowing.

This was a party venue only allowed for nobles in the castle, where young men and women around Celia’s age were dressed in formal attire.

On the walls, humans wearing necklaces indicating their security duties stood watch to prevent any unexpected incidents.

“Brother, you were here.”

As I was observing the surroundings, Celia approached me.

She was wearing a light yellow dress and had her hair tied back. She wore a scarlet diamond necklace, and everyone around seemed captivated by her.

“Well, this is work, after all.”

I answered Celia while fiddling with the security badge around my neck.

“Still, being a security guard at a party…”

The reason I was here today was that I had been hired as a security guard. However, since it was a party, wearing my usual adventurer attire would spoil the atmosphere, so I was dressed in a suit provided to me.

“Didn’t you… dislike it?”

Celia peered at my face with a worried expression.

“It’s not that I disliked it; I was just impressed since it wasn’t something I would have thought of.”

The other day, I had told Celia that I was having trouble gathering referees, and as a response, she had introduced me to this job as a party security guard.

“If you are a relative of the participants, your background is certain, so you can be allowed in as security, and I thought it would be a chance for you to interact with the upper class.”

Indeed, if I were just an adventurer, opportunities to interact with the upper class would be rare.

At most, I could only have brief conversations when accepting escort requests or delivering rare items, which would take time to get a promise to become a referee.

Since most people at this party are from the upper class, if I can successfully make connections here, I might be able to gather referees quickly.

Celia’s suggestion was very reasonable.

“I’m grateful to you, Celia.”

My right hand moved for a moment, almost reaching out to pat her head as usual, but since Celia was dressed up and I was on duty, I held back.

“I feel more at ease participating in the party knowing you’re watching over me.”

Since Celia has always been shy, she probably isn’t good with places where many people gather.

Her relieved expression showed that she regarded me as her brother and trusted me.

“I’ll be watching properly, so feel free to enjoy the party.”

When I looked at Celia with a watchful eye,

“Yes, then, I’m going.”

She headed towards the lively party venue with a relieved expression.
