Chapter 26
Big Discovery
It seemed that the experiment to determine whether we could tame the monsters through Cure was to be postponed from the afternoon . I stayed with Argo-san and the others as we watched over the campsite .
I still applied Cure for the river’s water…and sometimes I tried to hurl Cure at the direction of the forest, but no other monster like Noir showed up . How unfortunate .
Ah, I suddenly recalled that I had a little bit of a fight and wondered if I leveled up .
“Status Open . ”
I tried to open my status screen with a small voice .

My level didn’t increase, but I unlocked a new skill! It was subjugation .
An explanation appeared the moment I tapped on it .
[Subjugation: A skill to subdue monsters; enables the user to befriend one monster . ]
That meant I could only befriend Noir for now .
Eh, then my efforts until just now were all in vain, weren’t they…?
Hau…my fatigue just increased after I came to learn the truth that I’d prefer not knowing .
Even though I tried my best…
I began to think of various matters as Argo-san told me that it would be fine for me to take a break after applying Cure to the water . Of course, the kitten, Noir, was sitting on my lap .
First, why was Noir subjugated?
I bet the cause would be the Cure I hurled . That, and perhaps it was because we had an affinity . But, was there something else?
Hmmm…
Nothing came up even after thinking for a while, so I digressed .
Next . Since when did I possess subjugation skill?
Was it before subjugating Noir, or was it after?
But since I had no such skill before I subjugated Noir, that meant I possessed the skill after subjugating Noir .
There was still a problem . Since I was using the magic I knew in the game’s world, I had never used the magic that I didn’t know, that existed only in this world .
For example, the daily magic: Clean . The magic enabled the user to clean their bodies without having the need to bath, and it could also clean a slightly dirty room . All in all, it was a very dreamy magic .
I watched Amandsan using this magic and even asked her to teach me, yet in the end, I couldn’t learn that magic .
There was no bath at the fort, so I could only wipe my body using the water or hot water in a tub . It would have been awfully convenient if I were able to use the Clean magic…
Well, Amandsan could use the Clean magic to me, so it was fine . But I also wanted to use it myself…
Other than that, I also couldn’t learn a lighting magic used to light up the surroundings .
That was why, I began to think that I wouldn’t be able to learn magic other than the ones I could learn through levelling up as a sage…
Hmm???
The Clean magic and the subjugation skill . What made those two different?
“I don’t get it, Noir . ”
I petted Noir’s throat as it purred in bliss .
How adorable . It was my first time raising a cat, so I wondered if cats were really this adorable .
…N?
My first time…?
Ah, could it be…The Clean magic already existed, but the subjugation skill didn’t exist neither in Elysia Online and in the Elysia continent . In other words, since I was the first one to use subjugation, I could learn it?
Then, would I be able to learn any new magic, even though its characteristic wasn’t that of a sage?
Ooooooh .

Awesome!
I couldn’t think of a new magic immediately, but I felt like it was awesome!
“Noir, it’s a big discovery!”
“Nyaa!”
“I feel so motivated now!”
“Nyaa, nyaa!”
I was hugging Noir tightly while immersing myself in joy when the surroundings turned noisy for some reason .
I wonder what happened?
When I looked around, a group of the knights returned, but there didn’t seem to be anything unusual…Ah, the one returning was Frank-san’s group .
“Frank-san, welcome ho…me?”
I looked at Frank-san whose face was sour as he bit his lips, looking like a sour-faced model from a book . 1
Just what in the world happened???
“Ah~, Jou-chan . It’s about the method to befriend monsters . I somehow got it . ”
“Is that so? Amazing, amazing!”
I reflexively clapped my hands in joy, but Frank-san didn’t look that happy…?
But why? Why wasn’t he happy when he had figured out the method to befriend the monsters?
“Frank-san befriended a monster, right? Where is it?”
“Jou-chan, you don’t see it?”
“Yosh,” Frank-san said as he lifted me who was still hugging Noir, letting me ride on top of his shoulder just like yesterday .
I could see Frank-san’s faded-blonde hair whose color was similar to a corn’s very well .
“Eh?”
There was something pink within his blond hair???
As I wondered, I looked at it closely and saw a small pink rabbit’s face peeking through the gaps of Frank-san’s hair .
“Kyuu . ”

Eh…what’s with this adorable creature???
“And so…puh . Frank targeted the herd of the Horn Rabbits…pupu . He then used, pupupuu . Used Cure, and then that child suddenly rode on his head…? Upupupuu . ”
Frank-san still had a sour face as he bit on his lips . Eh? Was he sullen, or was he being stepped on? Well, whichever was fine~ .
“Argo . If you want to laugh, then just laugh . ”
“Bwahahahahaa . No good . My stomach hurts . ”
Even the people around us had their shoulders shaking .
H…hmm . Well, certainly having a small pink rabbit peeking through Frank-san’s hair as he had a stern face seemed surreal…
“M-moreover, it was a variant child…pink on top of it . Upupupupupupu . ”
Argo-san…I understood your feelings, but you laughed too much .
“W-well, but you managed to understand the conditions to befriend monsters, so that’s quite an achievement, right? Pupupuu . ”
That’s right . Just like Argo-san said, thanks to Frank-san, we got to know the conditions to befriend monsters-!
Frank-san and the others who found the Horn Rabbit herd didn’t kill anyone, but first, they captured them in a net . Then, one by one were let out from the net as they came in direct touch with Cure, and sometimes they tested by hurling the Cure, hitting each one with Cure .
Then, there seemed to be a pink-colored child among the Horn Rabbit herd . The Horn Rabbits were normally white in color, so we were able to tell a variant apart on a glance .
Since variants were stronger than normal monsters, they hurled a Cure—not approaching it just in case—and suddenly it began to cry out sweetly, “Kyuu, kyuu” like a spoiled child .
When they tried to let it out from the net, it ran at full speed and hopped on Frank-san’s head, rubbing its head as it cried out sweetly, “Kyuu, kyuu” again .
It was really spoiled~ .
With that, we understood that the monsters won’t be tame unless we had affinities with them . As to whether we had to hurl the Cure, we still couldn’t come to a conclusion because we hadn’t done enough experiment on that .
Also, there seemed to be a lot of monster children, so we were going to try it out on them from now on .
“It seemed impossible to calm the monsters with Cure, but it seemed we were able to befriend them . Which meant, if we were to try on strong monsters, they might become a help to our fighting power . It might be alright for the village’s priests to bring them rather than bodyguards . ”
Frank-san was thinking with a serious expression on his face, but I couldn’t focus on him because the pink rabbit who was peeking from his head destroyed the serious ambience .
“But if we can control a strong monster, then it will cause the superiors to go into an uproar . ”
Argo-san seemed to notice that the conversation wouldn’t go anywhere if he were to continue laughing . But he avoided looking at Frank-san’s direction…

“But they might ask us to bring the monster children to the temple . If we show them Noir and this child, the old geezers at the temple might ask us to bring the monsters there so they could control them . But that will be no good . ”
“Yeah . Even a werewolf child isn’t that strong, and we can’t catch it even if we try to . In the first place, monster children aren’t seen that often unless it’s in the middle of monster flood, when the number of the monsters multiply . ”
That’s right . Although I don’t like the monster flood, but I got to meet Noir due to it .
“Then, that leaves us with this option . We should report this to the temple after the monster flood is over . ”
“Right . Since we’re in the middle of exterminating monsters, it’s impossible to tell them that we let the children live and capture them . But I think it’s alright if Frank slips this information to his trusted friends that can be taught about how to hurl the Cure . ”
Frank-san folded his rigid arms and nodded . But that caused the rabbit on top of his hat to be in everyone’s vision field .
“By the way, have you decided on a name for that child? Pupuu . ”
Argo-san looked at the rabbit on top of Frank-san’s head and had another laughing fit .
“Aah? Name? Won’t ‘Rabbit’ be fine?”
“Y-you can’t! You have to properly give it a name, or it will be too pitiful!”
Although I was being glared at, I wasn’t afraid!
I had to do my best for the sake of the rabbit!
“Aah, then shall we have it made as a preserved food or emergency rations?”
“Youuuu caaaaaannnn’tttt!”
“Nah, but well . I thought of hunting some to be today’s food ingredients . ”
“This child is Frank-san’s partner, so you can’t eat it—-!”
“Then, you decide its name, Yuuri . ”
Frank-san said in exhaustion, and the rabbit that was quiet until just now, perked its ears as it began to cry out, “Kyuu, kyuu . ”
Ehh, could this be its objection…probably?
“It seems like Frank-san has to decide its name . ”
“Give me a break, oi…Whatever can be its name, it doesn’t matter . ”
“You have to properly give it a name . For example ‘pink’ or ‘meat’ or ‘ears’ . ”
“Hey-! Argo-san too, please give it a more adorable nameeeee!”
Good grief, really!
You two, please think more seriously!
In the corner of my eyes, I saw Noir yawning as if it was tired of it all .
