Chapter 22: Beastmaster Guild and Contract
I had to make a magic stone before I could go to the Beastmasters Guild, so I went back to the inn and started making magic stones. By the way, it seems that this smelting skill can only be used inside certain buildings in town.
Well, since I had learned about the commercial tools earlier, I guess it would be a problem to do it on the street.
The probability of making the magic stone was about 50%. I've tried twice and failed once. However, if I do it again and again, my skill level will naturally increase. Then the probability is gradually increasing......I feel it.
At any rate, I consumed all the stones I had. The alchemy skill has improved.

I created magic stones about 50 times and got 30 magic stones. That's about a 60% chance. I don't know if that's good or bad. I decided to go to the Beastmasters Guild, since I had the magic stones ready.
We arrived at the Beastmaster Guild. It was an instantly recognizable building. I could tell because of the realistic animal signs. The reason why they made it so realistic is a mystery......anyway, I went inside.
"Welcome to the Beastmaster Guild"
The woman who was serving the customers in a cumbersome manner opened her eyes. Then she disappeared in an instant and hugged Lily next to me. Fast, this person!?
"Ya~h! What is this girl? C~u~t~e~!"
"Eh!? Eh!? Eh!?"
Lily is completely overwhelmed!
"Bouncy cheeks~......smooth hair~......haa......haa......danger! I got a nosebleed......"
"Takutoo~......help~......this person is scary~......"
Well, it's usually scary......I'm worried that I'll be kidnapped as it is.
"Please stop it! Guildmaster!"
Spaaaaaan!
"Ouch!?"
Another male staff member hit the woman with a paper fan. That sounded good! The woman cowering in place, holding her head. Lily is released from the hug and hugs me from behind.
"What are you doing......?"
"What, nothing. What does Guildmaster do to bother our customers?"
"It can't be helped......it's not every day we get a rare kid like this and I've been tired of all the wolves, squirrels, boars, chicks and bugs lately"
"You're being too frank"
I don't know what to say......they make a good pair. The two of them.
"Well, I'm the guildmaster here......, no way! There's also a saber-toothed tiger and a snowy owl! This is heaven!?"
"Don't derail each time! The story doesn't go on!"
"Come here~. Come~"
Show the Saber-toothed Tiger to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Wolf your companion: Difficulty F-
Reward: 100G
Show the Wolf to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Owl your companion: Difficulty F
Reward: 300G
Show the Owl to the Beastmaster Guild.
Guild Quest Make a Tiger your companion: Difficulty F
Reward: 300G
Show a Tiger to the Beastmaster Guild.
Difficulty B is the highest difficulty of quests posted on the board. This means that Lily and my feeding skill is the highest difficulty. Thanks to this, the level of the Beastmaster Guild went up by three.
And I got quite a bit of money as a result. I feel like a lot of things would have been better if I had come to the Beastmaster Guild from the beginning, but I didn't know about it, so there's nothing I can do about it.
Midway, Aura-san told me that she would give me a lot of money if I would let her touch Lily all the time, but Lily's face turned pale and she looked at me. I felt sorry for her, so I said no and Aura-san put on a kind face behind her disappointment. ......Maybe she was testing me?
And now it's time to sign the contract.
"If you prepare a magic stone and the summoned beast wants a contract, it's over"
"......What if it doesn't want it?"
"If it escapes or goes wild......in the town, the guild will move to take it down"
Eh......that's just too sad.
"I'm sure you'll be fine, Takuto-kun. If they don't want to sign a contract, those kids should have long since run away"
That's the problem.......
"Shall we use the summoning room to be on the safe side?"
"The summoning room?"
"Yes, it's a special place where summoners call summoned beasts"
"Can't we summon them somewhere else?"
It should have been possible at an inn as usual.
"Yes, you can. But the Beastmaster Guild doesn't recommend it because some summoned beasts don't like each other at first. There are many different personalities and it would be unfashionable to call up a dangerous summoned beast and have it rampage through town, so we have high level summoners use this summoning room"
It's complicated......now we're alone in the summoning room. Aura-san didnt come. When asked why, it's a special time for summoners and beasts to summon or sign a contract. It was a story that was tactless to disturb it.
I took out three magic stones, placed them in front of Gray, Kotetsu and Konoha, and faced them and spoke to them.
"Will you continue to adventure with me?"
""Gau!""
"Hoo!"
Answering my question, Gray, Kotetsu and Konoha were sucked into their respective magic stones. When it was over, info flowed.
Gray Wolf, Gray has signed a contract
Saber-toothed Tiger, Kotetsu has signed a contract
Snowy Owl, Konoha has signed a contract
Is this the end......I was so nervous~.
"Now everyone is with Lily!"
"That's how it's going to be. Speaking of which, can Lily become a magic stone?"
I've never tried it before.
"I can, but I don't want to!"
You don't like it......then, let's keep it that way for a while.

Author note
I wrote about the various problems of feeding skill and monster descriptions.
The following is a summary of the requirements to obtain the feeding skill.
You need to be a professional level cook, a Summoner or a Tamer and be liked by monsters. There are various requirements to be liked by monsters, such as high level and whether the player's personality matches the monster's own. In case you're wondering, Gray became Takuto's companion because he seemed to be able to provide him with delicious food every day.
