The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - Chapter 114: A Sudden Visitor

Chapter 114: A Sudden Visitor

“The criminal has been safely caught, and the contracted beast has returned to its owner.”

Lebrant was explaining the outcome of the recent kidnapping incident during a meeting.

Douglas and the executives of the Tamer Guild were listening to the report.

“But to think that an organization from another country got involved…”

“Are they panicking because they’re struggling to train tamers?”

“In any case, Klaus’s achievements as a guild member are significant.”

Everyone praised Klaus for solving the case.

“He’s still young, but wouldn’t it be good to make him an executive and have him help with the guild’s management?”

His abilities as a tamer were undeniable. Since Douglas also recognized his talent, it was best to give him an important position early.

As most of them discussed this…

“It might have just been luck that he found the criminal. In the first place, isn’t it doubtful that he was the one who actually found them?”

Someone poured cold water on the discussion.

“Negrei…”

Negrei was a noble from a family that co-founded the Tamer Guild with Rint. He was aiming for the position of the next guild master.

Looking around at everyone, he spoke.

“All of his achievements are thanks to his rare contracted beasts. If anyone could use such beasts, they could do the same. Promoting him to an executive based on that alone isn’t fair, is it?”

There were tamers who aspired to become guild executives and contributed to the guild every day. For those watching their efforts, Negrei’s words were hard to ignore.

“We’ll put that matter on hold for now. Klaus is quite busy at the moment.”

When Douglas interrupted, the room fell silent.

Everyone here knew that Negrei was aiming for the guild master position. To prevent him from stirring things up any further, they decided to change the topic.

“More importantly, Negrei, is everything going well with the event you’re in charge of? The future of promising young tamers depends on it.”

Each executive had their own assigned responsibilities. The next issue was under Negrei’s charge, so they needed to check on it.

“Yes, everything is proceeding without any issues.”

Negrei answered with a confident smile, addressing Douglas.

As autumn deepened and the weather turned colder, all my contracted beasts started sleeping in my room.

“Pfuu… Pfuu…”

Feni was lying on my stomach, Koku and Riko were on my left, and Purple was perched on the edge of the bed.

“…Ko…ooh…”

“…Zzz…”

The bed was getting cramped, but it reminded me of the time I lived in my old apartment.

Back then, none of us had separate rooms, so we always slept together.

As I gently touched Feni, Purple, Koku, and Riko while enjoying the softness and warmth of their feathers…

—Knock, knock, knock—

Someone knocked on the door, and Celia’s voice called out.

“Brother, are you awake?”

“…(Sleepy)…”

Rock, who had been sleeping on his sand-filled bed, slowly raised his head.

“Yeah, I’m awake.”

Did she come to call me for breakfast?

But I didn’t smell any food, which was strange…

“We have a visitor.”

“A visitor?”

I had no plans for anyone to visit today.

Since Celia had come to call me personally, it had to be someone fairly close to us.

Was it Lorraine or Tabasa?

Either way, I couldn’t meet them while dressed like this.

“Got it. I’ll change, so please entertain them in the reception room for now.”

I quickly changed my clothes and headed to the reception room.
