Do you think it's not a coincidence, Dad?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He furrows his brow at my question and thinks about something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He wrinkles his brow and thinks about it. "Well, maybe it's just my imagination. Don't worry about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He pats me on the head and walks away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I'm curious about something, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sol's that odd look of joy when I told him before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's as if he's ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Bingo?　Correct?　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm, I can't think of a good word for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Anyway, Sol was different at that time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And when I saw him staring out the window, I felt uneasy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was as if he was going to disappear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong? What's the matter?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nothing. What is it?　Dad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is the way back to the inn, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're not going to the clothing store?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　Oh, I took the wrong ...... road."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The look on my dad's face was so funny that I blew it out and he gouged my head a little harder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy's clothes are on the list of things I'll pick out for her. It's been a while, I'm looking forward to it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I get a bad feeling from the smirking dad's expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't worry, I'll pick out my own clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll pick out my own clothes," he says. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of patterns you have. It's summer, you'll be sweating.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not holding back!　I don't need that many! I'm still planning to grow!　Are you listening to me?　Dad!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I let my father choose, he picks the ones with the cutest patterns, and the number of sheets is more than I planned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I grab his arm to stop him, but he's avoiding eye contact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh no, he's serious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No!　You can't do this!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What would you like?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll definitely stop you!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I should have gone back to the inn without saying anything earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?　What are you doing, right in the middle of the road like that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked where my father's eyes were looking and saw four girls hugging slime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And in front of them, a man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The man's face is a little grim, as if he is talking about something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder what's going on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After a while, one of the girls started crying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I cried."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The other three girls also looked as if they were about to cry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wondered if they were all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm, do you want me to call out to them anyway?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yeah.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The girls holding the slime are tamers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Normally, demons that haven't made a contract with us are supposed to be ferocious and untouchable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sol is an exception.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I approached the five of them, I heard them talking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'If you do the same thing as the tamers around you, you'll lose them like that idiot. Think about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'But...'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you choose to take the easy way out, don't ever show your face in front of me again. I have nothing to teach those people."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know, but I guess I'm learning to be a tamer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The girls are not so different from me in appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A man noticed us standing nearby, wondering what to do, and turned to look at us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "Excuse me. I was just a little curious, but it looks like you're okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "Oh, I'm sorry. We didn't need to talk in the middle of the street like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The man scratched his head and chuckled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The man scratches his head and smiles bitterly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry," he said, "but these girls won't answer me even if I try hard. They're just slime anyway!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The crying girl shouts at the man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The man glanced at her and sighed loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'If that's what you think, don't ever come in front of me again. You're bothering me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's terrible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Get the hell out of here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The girls shivered at the man's cold voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then they ran and went away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They were so cold and cold. At all."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at the man and saw that he had very sad eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry," he said. I'm sorry I'm such a disgrace to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, are you a tamer, by any chance?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I am. And who are you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm a traveling druid. No, this is my daughter, Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I hesitate a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I gently peeked at the father's face and saw a slightly embarrassed expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "You are a traveler, are you not? I am Gor, a tamer in this village. I'm Gor, the tamer of this village, and those girls are tamers too. Huh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gol shakes his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's not good. Not that one."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He gently patted the bag containing Sola and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He wanted Gor to judge whether he was okay or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I kept my stroking hand touching the bag, I could feel a slight pull and vibration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Relieved by the reaction, I turn to face Mr. Gol.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Gol."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I call his name, but no vibration comes from the bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola seems to have decided that Mr. Gol is all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm a tamer too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, there was a possibility that it wasn't Sola who was awake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess I'll just have to trust that ...... it's okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure.　Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gol-san shows a surprised expression at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Next to him, his father was also surprised, but when he noticed that my hand was touching the bag containing Sola, he smiled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes. Gol-san, have you been a tamer for a long time?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, I've been a tamer for about 40 years. Forty years now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Forty years!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You look like you're 45 or 46 years old.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look like this, but I'm 57.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gor and his father are surprised at his words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He glances at his father, who is standing next to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He poked me on the head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hahaha, I thought it was the other way around with my dad, but it turned out to be true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gor-san looks young and my father looks old.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Is it okay if I call you Ivy-san?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Eh?　Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Goll stares at me with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stared back at him, wondering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you have a demon you've tamed?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I do. Yes, I do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. I've tamed two slimes, and Ivy says she's tamed a demon from ....... No, it's nothing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You shouldn't be confused by such a simple question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are family to me. And a very important friend.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Gol looks shocked at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As far as I recall from what he said to the girls earlier, he must be taking good care of the slimes he has tamed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Family, huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Gol smiles happily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's unusual for a tamer these days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'So many tamers these days use force to hold them down?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Gol's expression turns sullen at his father's question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "Oh, I told them not to do it, but they wouldn't listen to me because it's easier to hold them down with force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a waste, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it a waste?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it is a waste. It is a waste not to know that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A tamer's privilege? It is true, but there are only a few who think so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder what kind of children Mr. Goll's slimes are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'd like to see them, but then I'd have to show Sola and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy," he said, "I'd like you to meet my slime. If you like, you can meet my slime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Goll?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If the demon that Ivy is taming is a slime, would you let her play with my kids?　The slimes that were playing with those kids went back to the forest last year because the tamer who had contracted with them died. They are fine, but they look lonely. I wonder if the demon they contracted with is a slime?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at my father at Gol's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He was staring at me as if he was searching for the truth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know a vigilante. I'll think about it if he's with you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Of course, Mr. Druid's acquaintance can come with us. Good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The father's gaze softened a little at the sight of Mr. Goll.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There he is!　Mr. Goll, eh!　Ivy, Mr. Druid?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, it's Ashli again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And it looks like she's been looking for Gor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's going on?
