On the way back to the accommodation after finishing the clan promotion. Kim Jae-yoon suddenly stopped walking and spoke as if something occurred to him.
“That’s right. Brother, what are you going to do with the clan house? Don’t we have a base yet?”
“Oh, there was that.”
“… … .”
It was something I had never thought about, so I had nothing to say. Kim Jae-yoon gave me a look that seemed absurd.
I felt aggrieved and made excuses.
“Honestly, it’s been so long since we’ve been in the tower that we can get a clan house. Let’s just stay in the dorm and work for the time being. Anyway, it’s just a clan, so even if applicants come, it’s probably just a party size.”
“Then I should have said that… Will applicants be able to find the place on their own?”
“Hmm… ”
I thought that if a talent really wanted to join our clan, they would do their own research and find him, but Kim Jae-yoon’s concerns were not unfounded either.
I thought for a moment. At that time, a wonderful idea passed through my mind.
“Ah!”
“?”
“There is a way! hang on. I’ll check it out and come back!”
“Brother? Brother!”
I quickly ran down the street, leaving Kim Jae-yoon calling me from behind.
The place where my feet stopped was in front of a building on the outskirts of town.
It was right in front of the Summoner Guild.
Jump up!
When I opened the door and entered, the familiar-looking interior of the guild caught my eye. A warm fireplace and rugs on the floor.
The first floor was still in operation as an animal cafe.
The number of customers was slightly lower than when I visited before. The summoned animals who were not entertaining guests were huddled together in front of the fireplace and taking a long nap.
It looked cute, but seeing it do that even though it wasn’t particularly cold, it seemed like the monster was a monster.
“Uh! Minho!”
A woman who is a receptionist and part-time worker at a cafe…
-Margaret.
‘thank you.’
Margaret looked happy to see me.
“Hello. Mr. Margaret.”
“It’s okay with Margaret.”
“Then please feel free to call me too.”
But Margaret said she couldn’t do that while she was working, and that she would do it later if she saw him in private. I wondered if it was okay to call it what I was comfortable with, but I had no intention of being stubborn just because I said that.
“Did your job go well? Would you like a drink?”
“Thanks to Margaret, it worked out well. Drinks are okay… Is Lynette in the building by any chance?”
“Guild Master? Yes? When the cafe is in operation, I am always in the office on the second floor.”
“I have something to report regarding the matter you just mentioned. Can I meet you?”
“If that is the case, of course. Please wait a moment. I’ll ask the guild master.”
Whick!
Margaret stopped cleaning her cup and whistled.
Then, a white tuft of fur jumped out from among the summons gathered in front of the fireplace.
That furball was familiar to me too.
It was the guild master’s cat summoner who delivered the note to Margaret.
Myaa~
“I told you not to jump high when there are guests. What are you going to do if hair gets into your drink?”
Margaret nagged, but the cat pretended not to hear and licked her front paw with her tongue.
In the end, Margaret sighed and gave the guild master a note and snacks and sent her on an errand. After eating all the snacks, he ran upstairs with the note in his mouth.
“You went upstairs directly before, but this time you ordered the cat?”
“Well, that kid wasn’t even on the first floor at that time… It was because I was a former job seeker that had been around for a long time.”
She blushed, probably remembering how hard she had to go up and down the stairs.
Jump up!
“Heo, heo, heo… older brother… If you suddenly run like that… ”
“Huh? Did you follow me? I told you to wait.”
“You can’t just wait when you don’t have the means to communicate. Phew… ”
Kim Jae-yoon, who followed me late, entered the building breathing heavily.
Margaret, who realized through a brief conversation that he was a member of my group, handed him a glass of water. Kim Jae-yoon took a refreshing sip of it, took a breath, and asked.
“So, why did you visit the guild?”
“That’s… Ah, I got an answer.”
While I was trying to explain my plan to Jaeyoon Kim, I saw the cat coming down the stairs again. Margaret, who also checked the note, nodded at me.
“The guild master is asking you to come up.”
“Let’s go up and talk.”
I went up to the second floor with Kim Jae-yoon. The scenery had not changed anywhere. The second floor still looked empty.
When I saw that, I internally nodded.
‘As expected, there are enough seats.’
Yes. The idea I came up with was to join the Summoner Guild.
As a result of observing the Summoner Guild building last time, this guild building was no different from an empty building except for the first floor.
The only room in use on the second floor was the office of the guild master, Lynette.
I don’t know where the guild members are and what they are doing, but since there are still a small number of guild members wandering around outside, the building’s vacancy rate is enormous.
‘Well, he’s probably going around looking for summoned animals in the forest.’
It can be said that my contract with Shinsu was the result of such exploration.
Anyway, I’m thinking of renting an empty second floor room for a reasonable price.
‘As long as the price is right, it can be a win-win situation.’
A way for the guild master to earn extra income from unused space, and for me to not have to buy a separate building.
Even though the Summoner Guild was on the outskirts of town, it had the best location among the buildings I could find.
Thanks to this being a world where magic exists, it doesn’t take a long time to build a new building, but if you want to save a clan house right away, you will have no choice but to simply place a container house outside the village.
This is much better than that.
While thinking that, I opened the door to my office.
“You came.”
Lynette must have been working when she greeted me while organizing documents. My first impression was that she was a pretty wild woman, but could it be that she was the head of an organization? The hands organizing the documents seemed quite familiar.
Next to her, Tretos, a huge lion summon, was sleeping face down as always.
After finishing cleaning up, she looked at me with a grin. She was a woman with messy red hair and a fierce smile that reminded me of a lion.
“Yes. You came to report?”
“Yes, as you may already know, we succeeded in making a contract with Shinsu.”
“And also became Shinsoo’s companion.”
“… … .”
It was clear that Lynette had also checked the logbook.
After studying my reaction with a mischievous smile for a moment, she burst out laughing.
“Hahaha! It’s not just signing a contract, it’s Shinsoo’s companion. He was truly born to become a Summoner!”
“What… I was lucky.”
“Khehe… This is something that has never been done before, so how lucky is it that it is possible?”
Lynette burst into laughter and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Yes. Can you show me which divine beast you have contracted with?”
“It’s not difficult.”
It wasn’t a bad idea to show Thor before getting to the point.
Although he has six wings, Thor essentially looks like a giant chick. It means cute.
‘It doesn’t go well with the guild master’s image, but looking at the summons on the first floor, it doesn’t seem like he hates cute things. If you show it, there will be a higher chance that the story will turn out well.’
I obediently summoned Thor.
A magic circle was created in the office, and a giant chick with a plump body came out of it.
“Beep beep beep!”
As soon as it was summoned, it lunged at me with its huge body.
Pookㅡ
Is it because it is still a young entity? In particular, I felt like Thor was clinging to me like this often after I got the necklace.
I said, looking at Lynette as if she was being held by a giant chick doll.
“… This is the baby of the thunderbird. I named him Thor.”
“Oh… ”
“Guild Master?”
Lynette, who had a blank expression for a moment when she saw Thor’s appearance, rushed towards us with her eyes shining.
The sight of him jumping over the desk in his office with his eyes shining looked exactly like a wild animal.
“This is truly a miracle!! Did you say thunderbird? It sure looks like it’s still young! I think it’s a flying type divine beast… Six wings?! Even the appearance is out of the ordinary! And I can’t believe I’m already on such good terms with the Summoner! He’s a kid I’m looking forward to more in the future!”
As Lynette said that, she stroked Thor’s fluffy fur. I was almost drooling.
Of course, Thor didn’t like the unexpected skinship.
“Beep?! Beep! Bye!!”
Knock Kock Kock!!!
“Khehehe… The response is also very lively!”
Even as Thor’s beak hit her here and there, Lynette didn’t stop laughing.
I thought to myself as I looked at the chaotic scene in Thor’s arms.
‘I expected it to some extent since he was a Summoner Guild Master… but… The same goes for the animal cafe on the first floor, and this reaction is also the same.’
It seems that Lynette really is an animal lover.
