CHAPTER 1168

I proved that it was Volgrau

----------------------------------------

“I don’t know why, but there is something different about that wolf! Don’t you know? You’re supposed to be able to talk to the monster after making it your familiar. In other words, if that wolf doesn’t understand me…”

“Yes, I am well aware of that.”

“What?”

“I said that I know. Are your ears also lacking?”

Sebastian continued to provoke him.

He was certainly enjoying this. And as I felt angry as well, I did not want to stop him.

“Bu-but! Make it howl then! Actually…it will probably do it anyway…and it will be a coincidence!”

“Hah… Tak?”

“Very well…faather. Volgrau. Say that man’s name. And that will make everything clear.”

“Bow…bow?”

“What!?”

“…Well? He said your name, did he not?”

While I actually didn’t understand what Volgrau said, it must have been Deurgo’s name. After all, the man’s mouth had dropped open and he looked at the wolf in surprise.

“Impossible! No! You just told the wolf my name… That’s why!”

“But we do not understand what it is saying. The only person who does is you. In other words, that is proof of the familiar contract.”

If this didn’t satisfy him, I would just have to bring out Leo. And then we would settle this with force.

“Tsk… Damn you!”

“So you finally admit it.”

Deurgo clicked his tongue and looked away.

“…Bastards. What do you mean by this? Bringing it back here?”

“It’s quite simple. My son has taken a liking to Volgrau. And so we want you to release Volgrau from the contract. After all, you cannot make a new one while the old one is still in effect.”

“All of this for that… If you want such a useless beast, you must be insane.”

“Well, my son often has to leave Ractos due to his work. And so it will be safer with a wolf companion. However…as you know, it can be dangerous, trying to acquire a monster familiar.”

“Aye. Even I had to fight when making that useless thing my familiar. And so it was shocking for me to learn later…that it was so useless.”

He could not stop insulting Volgrau with the word ‘useless.’

Still, he was capable of fighting a monster and making it his familiar, but failed with the finishing blow.

Perhaps he had only beaten Volgrau by luck and not skill.

“However, I do not want my son to fight a wolf. There would be a risk…”

“And so you’re going to Volgrau and make it your own.”

“Well, we have another familia. But it is still young… And so I wondered about this grown Volgrau. After all, though we found it by chance, it has become quite attached to my son.”

“I’m very glad that you were too weak to hurt him too badly. I was able to heal Volgrau. And I earned his trust after feeding him. Ah, you must have really been lucky that first time.”

“Tsk. Bastards…!”

I didn’t forget to provoke him as well.

After all, I also had some pent up anger to unleash after having to listen to all of that. It may not have been very polite of me, but it felt good.

I now understood how Sebastian felt…
