Chapter 337

(337) It seems troublesome to take care of

Translator: Tseirp

“Kusunoki-kun, I want to ask, for that Summoning Magic, are you able to summon anybody as long as they are your companions?”

Suzuki asked .

“It’s not just anybody . As of now, I am only able to summon Haru and Carol . ”

I didn’t know if I was able to summon Malina or the others .

Since I didn’t know if she became my kin .

I was able to confirm that Haru and Carol had become my kin by checking their status .

Technically the people around them would be summoned as well but the skill I actually planned to use was not the Kin Summoning skill but the Hikikomori skill but I’ll keep quiet about that .

“I see … then it can’t work . ”

Suzuki said with regret .

“Ah, did you want to summon Miles and the others when we reach Mallegory?”

“No, that’s not it …”

Suzuki looked at the trio eating the bread .

Summon those two?

No, that wasn’t it ─ ─ I see .

“Centaur?”

“Yeah, I was thinking that it would be dangerous to let a donkey ride on the back of Pochi . ”

“Can’t we put it in a cage and carry it that way?”

“ … I don’t think it is that easy to procure a cage that can lock a donkey which can body tackle a Demonic King Dragon . ”

That’s true … at the very least it could probably easily break out of a wooden cage .

Now that I think about it, it has had a previous offense of escaping from the guard post to the north of the Great Forest .

Even I did not think I would get off unharmed if it rampaged against me .

So that’s why he wanted the summoning magic .

… There’s no helping it .

“Could you wait for a little longer before departing? I’ll try asking if Haru and Carol mind taking care of it . It would be impossible for humans but I believe it should be possible to summon Centaur along with Haru and Carol . ”

I said before moving to a place away from the four of them and transferring to My World .

After transferring, I gathered Haru, Carol, Pionia, Neete, Sheena No . 3, and the Dark Elves’ representation .

“So, I will take three days to travel to Mallegory but I was thinking if it is okay to keep the slow donkey called Centaur in My World until then?”

““ …… !””

Haru and Carol choked on their words .

Even Haru, whose facial expression doesn’t change much, expressed a fearful expression that showed the magnitude of the situation .

Whereas the others who were not acquainted with it showed perplexed expressions .

“Hey, Master . There’s a lot I wish to ask but it’s just a donkey? Is there a need to gather everyone?”

Neete asked .

It seemed like the others who didn’t know the circ.u.mstances wanted to ask that as well .

“Do not underestimate Centaur . Its appet.i.te is even greater than that of Nanawat . And it’s a herbivore . ”

“In that case, we won’t have to worry that it would attack us . ”

Pionia commented .

“But it bit Sheena No . 3’s arm desu?”

“That was because the aquatic plants were wrapped around your arm . ”

I thrust aside Sheena’s comment and addressed everyone who still could not understand the situation .

“Rarael, I’m not sure but do you think the leaves of the Golden Tree are delicious to donkeys?”

“ …… !?”

Currently in My World, the Golden Tree was a symbolic plant .

What would happen if it found the leaves delicious?

“Negotiation is possible against Centaur . It is possible to tell it that we will give it 50 tomatoes and 50 carrots if it doesn’t touch the Golden Tree . However, that is only if its reasoning is capable of overcoming its desire to eat the Golden Tree . ”

“ … Ichino-sama, is there no other way other than to keep Centaur here?”

Carol asked .

She probably wanted to ask if there was a need to take such a risk .

“I was thinking that too but … riding on top of Pochi with Centaur was terrifying as well . ”

According to Suzuki, wyverns fly at an alt.i.tude of around 2000 meters . If something unforeseen happens at a height three times that of the Tokyo Sky Tree … I might somehow be okay but the others would not be so fortunate .

“Haru, I have a request for you . Only you can do it . ”

“What is it?”

“If Centaur threatens to harm the Golden Tree or causes a despairing situation, please stop it . As a last resort, you can even break its leg … but please don’t kill it if possible . ”

“I don’t think it is an opponent that I can hold back against but understood . I swear on this Guardian Sword and Gale Blade that I will fight a battle that will not shame Master’s name . ”

“Please settle the issues without fighting if possible . I intend to do my best as well . ”

We had to formulate strategies for that sake .

Our discussion after that dragged on for another hour .

“This all sounds too far-fetched . This is just a talk about taking care of a donkey desu . ”

Sheena No . 3 spoke as though it was someone else’s problem .
