It was just about noon when we got out of the dungeon . We ate lunch in front of the dungeon and set on grassy plains to return back to the town .

And then, I notice a snow-white dog fur? No…… wolf? 10 meters in front of us .

Isn’t that wolf sitting in a proper posture while vigorously wagging its tail? Is it someone’s pet or a monster, a quite worrying scene .

If I had to say…… a pet? Its actions are that of a perfectly trained pet dog…… Also, Allen and Elena are not cautious of it at all .

After thinking if we should intercept or avoid it, I appraise it just in case――

…… Un, it’s a monster . Moreover, a Fenrir . It’s an S-Rank monster……

Fenrir is water and ice attributed wolf with quick movements, strong claws, and fangs which likes to fight at a close range . An awfully strong monster, normally…

It can’t be seen as a monster while wagging its tail like that .

But, this, what’s going on……

My contracted beast, what does that mean? I don’t remember making any contracts, though??

When I check my status just in case, the skills【Monster Handling】【Taming】and【Monster Contractor】suddenly appeared .

I have no knowledge about this . This must be that . It’s Syl, right?

I can’t leave it as it is, so when I beckon it to come over, the Fenrir’s tail wagging increases and it runs over . And then, when it comes to my feet, it sits down again .

Un . Good doggy .

Nevertheless, looking at it up close, it’s huge . Even after it sat down, my line of sight nearly didn’t change…… Is it bigger than a cow?

The children would be completely squashed during a play . Even I’m in danger……

While observing the Fenrir in front of me, the Fenrir was also jii~ staring at me with its blue eyes .

「You are a contracted beast?」

『Wafu』

It replied to me when I asked .

It seems to understand what I say . If that’s the case――

「Hand」

『Wafu』

「Second」

『Wafu』

「Down」

『Wafu』

Un, flawless .

It seems to have received general training .

『Wafu!』

「N?」

The Fenrir barks, drawing my attention back to at it as if it was expecting something .

What? But, a typical pet dog would be like this, right?

「……… Yoshyosh?」

When I pat its head, it snuggles up to me comfortably . Seems like I was right . A complete pet dog!? You, are you really an S-Rank monster?

While patting it, the hem on both sides of my clothes are being pulled . Allen and Elena are pulling on the hem .

「What’s the matter?」

「「…………」」

When I look down to match their eyes, the two lift my hands up, turn my palms upwards and put their little hands on it .

………………

……………

…………

… N?

「…………………………………………………… Hand?」

「「Wan!」」

「~~~!!」

What is this cuteness!!!

Because they were too cute, I ended up hugging the two unconsciously .

Hand!! What!? Imitating the Fenrir!?

Eh? Jealousy? Where they perhaps jealous because I paid attention to the Fenrir!?

I was troubled about treating the Fenrir as a pet, but they imitated it!! That’s seriously adorable, though!? I must pay full attention to those two!

I squeeze Allen and Elena in my embrace so tightly they kya, kya happily, while the Fenrir rubbed its face against us and began to lick .

In the end, Allen, Elena and the Fenrir ended up mutually hugging each other .

Ah, because leaving a contracted beast alone in a place like this is impossible, I named the Fenrir Joule1, put Allen and Elena on its back and set towards the town .

The town walls are visible . We have arrived at the town before it got dark .

There, I decided to take Joule into my shadow .

Thanks to Dark Magic, contracted beasts can enter the shadow of the user and be summoned back if necessary .

Unlike Tamed monsters, Contracted beasts are not required to always accompany you . That is the strength of Contracted beasts, is what I think .

Like this, I can walk around with S-Rank Joule without attracting unnecessary attention .

Allen and Elena were reluctant, but it would definitely get noisy if we walk with Joule around, right?

It seems it can become small as a puppy with its【Shrinking】skill, but because I have no collar, it’s better like this today .

I better prepare a collar soon . While thinking so, we entered the town .
