Chapter 403: The taming revolution begins now (1/2)
“And well, that’s how it is. He is a good boy that can do most of anything, so I leave the rest to you, Baretta-san.” (Makoto)
Raidou-san was standing by the side of the wild animal that wasn’t in a cage.
Just by knowing how dangerous of a beast that is, the amount of nerves you need to stand by its side differs, but most likely everyone including me were shocked by this outrageous courage.
And then, in the next instant, he said something unbelievable to the jet black bear.
“Hand.”
“Sit.”
“Other hand.”
“Wait.”
“Spike.”
The Moon Grizzly followed and obediently placed a hand on top of his, sat cutely, placed his other hand on top, stayed in place silently, and for the last one, he jumped and smashed the iron ball Raidou-san threw.
““…””
No, what do you want us to do aside from being at a complete loss for words?
We are not people who are intimate with animals in the first place.
I thought that maybe Baretta might have a different reaction, but he had his mouth open like an idiot and his eyes were wide open.
He was in the worst state amongst us.
Aside from the last one, they were all things that you would teach a watchdog, but I didn’t feel like retorting about that.
But well, Raidou-san suggested we first get accustomed with things today in the Tinarak Forest, and deepen our understanding with each other, and so while still feeling uneasy about the bear that had obediently been sealed in a crystal with the special Skill of Baretta, we arrived at the Tinarak Forest.
‘If you are going there, then there’s no need for me to go with them’, is what the cleaner Letter said as he left swiftly. We have properly exchanged contact information but…he is also one hard to get along individual.
Anyways…
Just in case, we went to a place separated from the areas with a lot of adventurers, and had Baretta summon the Moon Grizzly.
“Wait, Baretta, you are already using more than half of your magic power just for that one summon.” (Ranai)
Ranai who was wearing black clothes pointed that out to Baretta in a baffled manner.
We have already shared the fact that Ranai has the special ability of seeing the stamina and magic power of others.
But…half?
No matter how strong of a demonic beast you summon, it would be impossible to have successive battles.
I felt like holding my head in pain.
“The summoned party is willingly being summoned here, so this is actually already after the cost has been reduced. The magic power that it demands to summon and undo it is originally close to 80% of my magic power.” (Baretta)
“What terrible consumption!” (Git)
“I do admit that it is an ability that’s basically a win if you bring it out, but…” (Akos)
Git and Akos were making clear faces of people that have been pushed a pain of a job.
I think the same.
Anyways, a big bear has been summoned in the forest.
When I looked at Ranai, she nodded.
I see, so she can see the stamina of the bear too, huh. That’s important information.
But…
“What a bad attitude too!” (Git)
Just as what Git said without holding anything back, the attitude of the bear was awful.
He wasn’t sitting properly like the time when Raidou-san told him to sit, but was sitting all slovenly and looking at us with muddy eyes that were unlike those previously.
His gazes are mostly directed at Baretta?
“H-Hand!” (Baretta)
“The hand order came!”
““?!””
Baretta approached the bear with strengthened resolve to test out whether the bear could do what he did before, and a clear loud voice came back, then, the right hand of Baretta was grabbed by the right hand of the bear as if it were scooping it up, but the momentum didn’t stop and was hit with what’s basically an uppercut.
Baretta had no chance of opposing it and disappeared in the green of the big trees.
Of course, together with a pretty loud hit sound and many leaves falling.
Or more like…I certainly heard ‘the hand order came’ though?
“Did you hear that? It feels as if the bear talked just now.”
“‘The hand order came’? If that was what you heard, then I did too.”
“Me too.”
“Y-Yeah…”
What’s going on?
When you form a party with a beast tamer Job, you can understand the tamed beast?
No, I have never heard of such significant information.
Ah, Baretta fell back down.
Ranai took a look, and it seems there’s no issues with the damage.
I have the heavy feeling that the future prospects have turned totally grim though.
“Aah, Baretta, I have a feeling that this demonic beast spoke just now.” (Bir)
I go ahead and ask Baretta who is in quite the special circumstances here.
He was secured by the bear just before he crashed onto the ground, and was now in between the stretched legs of the languid bear.
In other words, he is being hugged lightly by the bear with his back around his crotch and stomach.
You could even say his life is in that bear’s hand.
If a situation like that were to happen in the middle of battle, we would have to run away prepared for injuries at the very least.
