Chapter 151: Chocolate Eggs (Part 2)

Chapter 151: Chocolate Eggs (Part 2)

Everyone present bought a chocolate egg.

Among the first ones to open their capsule is Mira.

[Is this a ring......?]

It’s a ring with a stone head and thin limbs growing out of it.

The way it moves around is rather comical.

The stone head is a transparent green, just like an emerald.

Ring

Golem-type Familiar

Can be worn as a ring. A golem that supplies its master with mana. When it grows up, it can also use Attack Magic on its own.

[For a mage like me, this is a very useful familiar.]

Mira had given her familiar the name Eru.

It was apparently based on emerald.

(T/N: Emerald => Emerarudo => Eru.)

The next one who opened their capsule was Regal.

What came out was a golden square lighter.

Light

Golem-type Familiar

Can be used as a lighter for ignition. A golem capable of transforming into a humanoid shape, a tank-type who is good at defending.

When Regal poked it with his finger, the familiar transformed from a lighter into a humanoid golem.

[Whoa! What’s this...... Cool......]

The metallic skin of the transformed golem shone.

[This one has a good defense, so I think it’ll be a good partner for Regal when it grows up.]

[I’ll take good care of this guy!]

Regal had given his familiar the name Lightan.

Is that a Gold Lightan......

[Alright, come on out, my buddy!]

Opening his chocolate egg with a great uproar was Kurtz.

Although it’s only about 5 cm tall, a familiar covered in thick muscles all over its body has appeared.

Its muscular body is green-colored.

Green Man

Unique-type Familiar

Possesses exceptional physical abilities. Good at close combat.

[Well, isn’t this a good one!? When he grows up, we can do combo moves together!]

[He won’t grow up that easily.]

[I know that!]

Kurtz named his familiar Hogan.

He’s apparently named after a legendary martial artist.

[What kind of familiar did you get, Gort?]

[I got this.]

A hawk circled in the palm of Gort’s hand, which he held out wordlessly.

Hawk

Animal-type familiar Findd new stories at novelhall.com

Guardian of the Underworld and the Strongest within the Strongest Species. When its level reaches its peak, it is capable of creating a very small black hole.

[Not cute at all......]

Rather than just not being cute, it’s plain scary!

Well, it certainly does feel like Michelle’s familiar......

[This guy’s the strongest of all dragons huh......]

Even though it’s smaller than a gecko at the moment......

[Looking closely though, it does seem to have a charming face.]

[You think so?]

[You know, like the way it flicks its tongue around?]

[Now that you mentioned it, it does seem a bit cute......]

The Underworld Dragon was named Pluto.

[I’ll bring you deep under the dungeon starting tomorrow. Let’s have you grow big and strong, Pluto.]

And it’s getting quite an outrageous level-boosting!

Just thinking about how it’s gonna grow up so fast is terrifying.

I have a feeling that a black hole will appear in the not-too-distant future.

[Let’s have a look at Yuusuke’s familiar too.]

Michelle chilled my chocolate egg too.

I crack the egg open with a snap.

There have been four types of familiars that came out: Animal-type, Golem-type, Spirit-type and Special-type. I wonder what I will get?

[What’s this?]

? ? ?

? ? ?-type Familiar

Envoy from Outer Space. ? ? ?

That description doesn’t explain anything at all.

It looks like a round mochi, and it seems firmer than a slime.

It resembles a Japanese confectionery called Tsuru no Ko mochi.

It’s a part of a group of Japanese confectioneries known as Suama.

And so, I decided to name my familiar Suama.

[So this is my familiar huh......]

While I was feeling puzzled, Suama jumped on my shoulder.

It seemed to have settled itself there and isn’t moving anymore.

Looking at it like that, it’s starting to seem somewhat cute.

[From today onwards, your name is Suama.]

Suama trembled instead of giving some sort of response.

<Translator’s Notes>

Lightan

鶴の子餅 / Tsurunoko Mochi

Among Japanese confectioneries are those that are rice-based, and Suama is one of those three rice-based Japanese confectioneries. Suama is a jelly-like confectionery made from glutinous rice and syrup, Mochi is a chewy and elastic rice cake made from pounded glutinous rice, while Uiro is a softer, gelatin-like sweet made from rice flour, sugar, and flavorings. Here’s an image of Kurtz’ team with their familiars. From the left: Gort and his Hawk, Kikka and her Sylphy, Kurtz and his Green Man, and Carmine and her Margarethe.
