The next day.
“Well then… Saintess… I shall be off to hunt…”
In the garden of the Log House, Felmaa bows her head to me.
“Have a good time. I’ve left the Puppy Fenrirs with the pet sitter, so you can hunt without worry.”
“Yes…”
Hmm? Felmaa seems a bit down…?
“What’s wrong? If you’re not feeling well, you should take a break from hunting.”
“N-No! I’m perfectly fine! Thanks to the delicious meals from the Saintess and the magic power from this Dragon Vein!”
It’s not like I’m the one cooking, though.
“I’m off!”
With a quick dash, Felmaa runs off toward the forest. I’m still concerned about her mention of being ‘perfectly fine’…
I could search for what’s bothering her using the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet), but peeking into someone else’s mind feels a bit intrusive.
I’ll wait until she shares her worries with me. For now, I’ll just relax at home.
As I open the door…
“Yaaah!”
…I hear the scream of a New Face, Fubuki.
When I head to the living room, I find a blue-haired, beautiful maid with fox ears standing there. Fubuki has learned human transformation after I named her as my Familiar.
“Feruta! Feruco! Stop biting my tail already!”
“Meow!” “Mew!”
The mischievous Puppy Fenrirs are gnawing at Fubuki’s fluffy fox tail. It seems they have a strong hunting instinct and are often nipping at her.
“……”
By the way, Ferumi is sitting in the corner of the room, using the dog toilet I purchased through KAMIZON.
Ferumi is a good girl and learned to use the toilet quickly. The problem lies with the two mischievous ones.
Even after showing them where the toilet is, they refuse to use it…
“Wait, what?”
There are three spots where they’ve used the toilet.
“Hey, Fubuki? Feruta and Feruco actually used the dog toilet properly.”
“Indeed, I trained them to use the toilet.”
What could this mean?
“Have you forgotten? You granted me skills, did you not?”
“Skills… Oh, right.”
I had given Fubuki the title of [Pet Sitter – Fubuki] through the God App, Let’s Become Familiars.
“As a result, I have newly acquired the skill of [Tamer].”
- Tamer (S)
→ Can command and control monsters of a lower rank than themselves.
“Thanks, that really helps.”
“I did not do it for you! It was for the great Aurora God!”
“Since I praised you, you should be happy about it.”
“Hmph. I’m not happy at all.”
“I’m going to have Caro-chan make some inari sushi.”
“Yay! I’m so happy to be praised by my master!”
As I sit down in the living room chair, Ferumi hops onto my lap.
“Hmm? Ferumi… haven’t you grown a bit?”
Feruta and Feruco seem to have grown too. They look a size larger than before…
Earlier, Fubuki mentioned that the Puppy Fenrirs were biting her tail too hard…
“Ferumi, open your mouth.”
I see adorable baby teeth in Ferumi’s mouth.
“Could it be… you’ve already weaned? Wait, it hasn’t been that long since you were born, has it?”
Curious, I search on the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet). It turns out that baby Fenrirs grow faster than dogs.
All three of them have already been weaned.
“When biting people, don’t bite too hard!”
“Meow!” “Mew!”
Fubuki is educating Feruta and Feruco. Now that the Puppy Fenrirs have teeth, if they bite too hard, it could draw blood.
“Good, good, you’re all such good children.”
“Me!” Bite.
“Mew!” Bite.
“Why are you biting me!?”
Well, that’s because you’re not human, right? But there’s no blood, so Feruta and Feruco must be holding back.
“……”
Ferumi is looking outside.
“What’s wrong?”
With a little hop, Ferumi jumps off my lap and starts scratching at the door.
“Could it be that Felmaa has returned?”
I pick up Ferumi and open the door. Felmaa is walking toward us.
…Felmaa is trudging over here.
“Felmaa, is something wrong?”
“Saintess… I apologize…!”
Suddenly, Felmaa bows her head deeply.
“Please, look at this.”
Felmaa lowers a bundle from her back onto the ground. When she unwraps it, I see the corpses of the monsters she hunted.
“…Ten of them?”
That’s strange. I could have sworn Felmaa used to bring back a hundred or so.
“Recently… I haven’t been able to hunt well…”
Summarizing Felmaa’s story, it seems that the number of monsters she can hunt has decreased.
The reason is that when they see a large white Fenrir, they escape before being hunted. Additionally, her large size causes her to bump into the trees in the forest, making it difficult to hunt effectively.
Indeed, Felmaa is large, and her fur is pure white and beautiful. She stands out too much.
“Despite receiving a name from the great one… this is how I perform! I am bringing down the Saintess’s reputation!”
“No, no, don’t worry about it.”
“Moreover! Just the other day, I lost to a mere fox disguised as a dragon!”
Ah… so that’s what’s been bothering her.
“I’m at a lower level than Fubuki and I’m terrible at hunting… Ugh… I’m unworthy as a Familiar…”
Felmaa is feeling downcast.
“You really don’t need to take it so seriously.”
But still, it’s the duty of a master to help their Familiar when they’re troubled.
“Alright, I’ll make Felmaa stronger.”
“Really!?”
“Yes. If I give you a title, I’m sure you’ll become much stronger. So don’t be so down.”
“Saintess… oh, you’re so kind… thank you…”
I gently pat Felmaa to comfort her. Now, what title should I give her?
How about Warrior Chief? Hunter?
“I wonder if there’s something good…”
I search on the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet). One title catches my eye.
“Hey, Felmaa. I’m thinking of giving you a name like this.”
[Mika Nagano’s Felmaa]
“Y-You’re giving me the Saintess’s name!?”
“Yeah, apparently it greatly enhances your abilities, according to the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).”
Felmaa starts wagging her tail with incredible enthusiasm.
“Please! That name!”
I’m not entirely sure why, but if she’s happy with it…
I register Felmaa again as a Familiar with the name [Mika Nagano’s Felmaa].
GooOOOoooooOoooooOoooooOoooooOoooooO!
In an instant, Felmaa’s body radiates a golden light.
“Uh, what is this…?”
“Power is overflowing! I’ve never felt this much… power! I can’t contain it!”
Felmaa opens her mouth wide.
BigoOOO! She releases some kind of beam toward the forest.
“Huh…? A beam…!?”
“What’s all this noise?!”
Fubuki comes out of the Log House with the Puppy Fenrirs.
Seeing their mother glowing in gold (though the light has dimmed a bit), the Puppy Fenrirs’ eyes sparkle with excitement.
“After I gave Felmaa my name, she can shoot beams now.”
“Ah! I see. Since you gave your name to your Familiar, she became supercharged.”
“Wait, I just gave her my name, right?”
“It’s not just any name; it’s the name of a God. Of course, she would become stronger.”
Oh right, I’m not just a human; I’m a demigod… But just giving a Familiar a God’s name makes them stronger?
It’s like how food looks more delicious just because it’s labeled as Hokkaido produce; it’s that kind of logic, I suppose.
“First, let’s check Felmaa’s level… whoa, amazing.”
～～～～～～
Mika Nagano’s Felmaa
【Level】1450
【Race】Elder Fenrir – Highest Rank Familiar
～～～～～～
Felmaa was originally level 450. Now, she’s leveled up by a thousand. Moreover, her race has changed from Fenrir to Elder Fenrir.
“Unbelievable… A four-digit level easily surpasses even the Demon Lord species.”
What intrigues me is Felmaa’s newfound strength. She must have learned some new skills, right?
“Oh, she’s learned new skills: [Sky Walk], [Shadow Clone], and [Magic Power Detection].”
- Sky Walk (S+)
→ Allows the user to run through the sky. - Shadow Clone (S+)
→ Creates clones with physical substance. - Magic Power Detection (SS)
→ Can detect the magic power of surrounding monsters.
“Now I could defeat that nine-tailed fox over there! Come! Let me avenge my previous defeat!”
“I really don’t want to!”
Felmaa chases after Fubuki, who is trying to escape.
In an instant, Felmaa caught up to Fubuki and tackled her to the ground.
“Thank you so much! Thanks to you, Saintess, I’ve become even stronger! Now I can be of service to you!”
Regardless of the circumstances, I was relieved that Felmaa’s troubles had been resolved.
