It was a while later that Lynette came to her senses, having stroked Thor until she was satisfied.
Returning to her usual guild master status, she sat down at the desk in her office and cleared her throat.
“Kuhm… It was my first time seeing the divine beast that had signed a contract with the Summoner, and it was my first time seeing a cub, so I lost my temper for a moment.”
“No, no matter what, the person who is the guild master of the Summoner Guild… ”
Next to Lynette, Tretos had just woken up and was looking at her with pitiful eyes.
Lynette scratched her cheek at that gaze.
“Did you say Thor? The feel of the fur was so good that I stopped… ”
“That’s right.”
I nodded, saying it wasn’t an excuse I didn’t understand at all. In reality, there is a reason why things like giant teddy bears are sold consistently.
Since Thor is a live chick, it even feels warm, so it feels quite nice to the touch. It was for a similar reason that I didn’t bother to get out of Thor’s arms right now.
It was like a chick, raising its tiptoes and resting its beak on the top of my head.
Lynette looked at this with envious eyes, and only after Tretos snorted did she have difficulty looking away.
“… So is that all there is to report?”
“No. That’s not it.”
I pointed to Kim Jae-yoon, who was standing next to me like a sack of barley, and told him about the new clan I was going to create.
Lynette listened to my fairly long explanation until the end without interrupting. However, just because he didn’t stop in the middle didn’t mean he agreed with my idea, and the answer he got back was a rejection.
“It is true that there is a spare room in the Summoner Guild. In fact, there are more empty rooms than used rooms. But those are all rooms for guild-exclusive summoners. This means that it is a room that must be used when a guild member who has gone on a quest or mission returns.”
“I’m a summoner too, right?”
“That’s true, but aren’t you an exclusive member of the guild? There is no reason why we should even accept clan members other than the Summoner class.”
“Even if I give you money?”
“Hahaha! How much money does the former who just conquered the second floor have?”
“I have about 3,000 gold… ”
“It is difficult to rent the guild building for even a week with that money. I don’t think there will be many people anyway, so it would be better to just rent an inn. If I were to rent an inn, I would be able to rent it for a month.”
Linette then winked at Jae-yoon Kim.
“Still, he signed a contract with Shinsu, and that guy also seems to have basic skills… If you work hard at guild missions for a while, you will easily be able to save up a few months’ worth of inn rental fees. Your guild rank was still bronze, right? Wouldn’t it be nice to also increase your guild contribution points?”
“Hmm… ”
I thought that if I showed Thor, things would proceed smoothly. It seems like I found the guild master too easy.
In order for my suggestion to work, it seemed like I would have to increase the guild’s rank by accumulating contributions, or there would have to be some other bait.
‘Maria, is there anything on your mind?’
-How about showing me Janey?
‘Janie?’
-yes.
‘why? Even though Janey is my girl… ‘Wouldn’t they look at me a bit negatively if I saw that I had made a contract with someone?’
-That may be possible. Still, from what I’ve heard, making a contract with a thunderbird is unprecedented, but making a contract with a human seems completely unthinkable. Then wouldn’t the guild master at least be interested?
After thinking for a while, I decided to follow Maria’s suggestion. Even if Lynette looked at me unfavorably, there was no reason to look favorably on her unless she was going to lend me the guild building anyway.
“I wasn’t going to show you this… Don’t be surprised.”
“?”
Lynette tilted her head as she saw a familiar summoning magic circle appear. It was a possible reaction because I didn’t know what I was summoning.
Her calm expression soon changed drastically as she saw Janey emerge through the magic circle.
Wide-open eyes and shaking pupils. I half got up from my seat, and tendons sprouted in my hands as I clutched the desk.
“Companies, people… ? Did you just summon someone?”
“Yes. Janey, hello. This person is the guild master of the Summoner Guild.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Nodding
Lynette looked back and forth between Janey, who bowed her head in greeting, and me.
“Human? How on earth did they make a contract with the same person?!”
“Uh… I tried it and it worked.”
The reaction was stronger than I expected, so I pulled my upper body back without realizing it. My body sank a little into Thor’s soft fur.
“This doesn’t make sense… It’s impossible.”
“To the impossible… ? I wasn’t going to say this because it felt like I was bragging, but I’m a little strong, right? So wouldn’t it make sense that it would be possible to make a contract with another human being?”
“No matter how different their strengths may be, it is difficult to make a contract with the same person. That’s the same thing as overlapping boxes of the same size. This is impossible without one side bursting or crumpling. but… You and that woman named Janey don’t seem to have any broken souls. I don’t understand… ”
“Then what about Shinsu? Didn’t they also say that their souls are big? ”
“Basically, the souls of other races are different from humans… Yes, it would be easier to explain if the shapes were different. It is possible to fit it in any way. Even if it is bigger and sticks out a little.”
“?”
-I guess you could think of it as a kind of Tetris played with the soul.
‘Ah, Tetris is acceptable.’
Honestly, it was a difficult explanation for me to understand, as I had no problem signing with Janey and Thor. But thanks to Maria’s easy summary, I nodded roughly.
To put it simply, other summoners store the souls of irregularly shaped summoned animals in a limited soul space. If it overflows, you can cover half of it. However, the shapes of human souls are almost similar, so they cannot overlap.
“That’s why I always summon Tretos. This is because the larger the size of the summoner’s soul, the greater the frustration felt when the summon is released and must be in the summoner’s soul. But we are the same person… Before becoming frustrated, it is normal that canceling the summoning itself is impossible in the first place.”
I had no idea there was such a reason.
‘It’s an interesting setting.’
“But Janey said that canceling the summons doesn’t really cause any inconvenience.”
“What… ?”
“Right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Rather, it felt comfortable. I didn’t feel like the space was narrow at all.”
The way Lynette looked at me now was like looking at a male alien.
“You… Is it true that humans are human?”
“Uh… Is that correct? 100% pure human being.”
“… … .”
Lynette, who had been silent for a while, leaned back in her chair with a look of agony on her face.
I thought it was time to add this.
How about “? Isn’t this the first time a Summoner has made a contract with a human being, let alone a child of a divine beast? You might want to keep it next to you and observe, right? As long as it isn’t a strange experiment, I can also help resolve the guild master’s curiosity.”
“Hmm… ”
Lynette was now seriously considering my proposal.
I put a wedge in there.
“And while we stay here, we will have Thor help us a little with the cafe.”
“!”
“Beep?!”
There was a startled squeak from above Thor’s head, but he ignored it.
It may be cute, but you have to do it when you have to pay for food. He’s like a god, but I had no intention of just keeping him by my side and petting him.
In the end, Lynette decided to accept my offer.
“… good. If it’s an offer like that, don’t accept gold separately. Instead, if there is not enough room when the guild’s summoner returns, he or she will have to leave that much space.”
“I understand. I also planned to stay only until I could get a clan house.”
There wouldn’t be a lot of new recruits joining our clan, and it wasn’t likely that the Summoner Guild members who ran on foot or rode horses to explore would return in large numbers.
“Please take care of me for a while.”
“Okay.”
We concluded the transaction by shaking hands.
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“What is it?”
“Can you send us an update on the accommodation we were originally staying at? Transferees looking for the Rainmaker Clan can simply tell them to come to the Summoner Guild.”
Did I seem bold in wanting to use the guild master as an errand boy? Lynette burst out laughing.
“Yes. There’s nothing we can’t do if it’s a request from a guild member who is the only one with talent.”
Linette said that and summoned a bird that resembled a pigeon and tied a note to its leg. It was like a summoned animal used for the purpose of war.
Certainly, even if they were in the same building, birds would be more convenient than cats to convey news over long distances.
Suddenly, a question occurred to me. The cafe operating on the first floor was also full of summons, but looking at it now, it seemed like the summons Linette had taken out were not all she had.
“How many summons do you have?”
“It’s a secret.”
“Even a hint… ”
“According to Jeonja, who suggested an animal cafe, he said it would be okay to open a zoo. The case was dismissed because too large a site was needed.”
“… … .”
-It’s not like he’s a guild master for nothing.
‘I know. ‘What kind of druid are you?’
Although I haven’t met any other Summoners, I can assure you that Lynette is not a very common case.
