Chapter 1-32 : Levy (part 1)

 

ーーーーーーーーーー
Would you like to make a contract with〈Leviathan〉?

「YES」「NO」
ーーーーーーーーーー

「The answer is obvious!」(Alice)

Without hesitation, I pressed the「YES」button.

Soon after, a huge blue magic circle appeared on the ground surrounding me and the Leviathan.

ーーーーーーーーーー
Commencing the ritual of making a contract with ‘Leviathan’.

Before continuing, please decide the terms of the contract.
ーーーーーーーーーー

So, I need to decide the terms first, huh? Hmm…

While looking the Leviathan in the eye, I folded my arms and started thinking.

「Honestly, I don’t want to restrict you too much. You may do whatever you want. However, you can’t cause trouble for other people. How about that?」(Alice)

The Leviathan nodded. It seemed to agree with it.

「Alright, next. I have friends in this world. Some of them are players, and some others are residents. I will introduce them to you later. I want you to remember them and protect them from harm if you can.」(Alice)

It nodded.

I don’t want to be selfish and keep the Leviathan for myself. I was just thinking it would be great if its power could be used to protect my friends too, especially the ones who can’t fight like Nansa obaa-chan.

「I may ask you to do something for me, but whether you do it or not, the decision is yours.」(Alice)

The Leviathan tilted its head. It looked a bit confused at first, but then it nodded.

The reason I said that is because I don’t want it to think of me as a bossy owner. I want it to think of me as its partner.

「Next, it’s for your own safety. As a matter of course, I don’t want you to be harmed, so if you feel threatened, you’re allowed to do anything to protect yourself. Also, I don’t want you to sacrifice yourself for me. You’re allowed to save me from danger only when you think you can do it without sacrificing your life. Do you understand?」(Alice)

The Leviathan nodded.

I’m a player, so I can always respawn in the church when I get killed, but I still know little about mythical beasts. They might not come back to life if they’re killed. Who knows? I just don’t want the Leviathan to die because of me, and I don’t want to experience such a sad farewell.

「Hmm… I think that’s all I want from you. Now, it’s your turn. Is there anything you want me to do for you?」(Alice)

The Leviathan nodded. It does have something in mind, but I think I already know what it wants.

It opened its mouth, closed it, and started chewing. It then repeated it again. I think it’s making the gesture of eating something.

「Fufu. I knew it. You want food in return, right?」(Alice)

It nodded.

「Alright. I promise you I will feed you enough food.」(Alice)

Feeding this huge dragon will not be easy. I will need a lot of monster corpses, and for that, I will have to grind more frequently. However, I think it’s totally worth it if I can have a powerful mythical beast partner.

ーーーーーーーーーー
The terms have been made.

Please name the mythical beast to finish the contract.
ーーーーーーーーーー

「Name? So I can name it?」(Alice)

The Leviathan brought its face a bit closer to me. It seemed to be expecting a good name.

「Let’s see… Hmm…」(Alice)

I wonder if I should give it a cute name or a cool name…

It’s big and looks strong, so a cool name might suit it, and since it’s the legendary sea monster, Leviathan, so…

「…Levy…」(Alice)

Grrrrrr~!

When I muttered the name I came up with, the Leviathan snorted and nodded its head a few times.

Seems like it like the name a lot.

「You like it? Alright. From now on, your name is Levy!」(Alice)

ーGRAAAAAAAAAA~!

Soon after I named it, the Leviathan let out a loud cry in joy, and at the same time, the magic circle below us emitted a dazzling light.

The light was so bright that I reflexively closed my eyes and covered my face with my hands.

「Whaー What’s happening!?」(Alice)

A few seconds later, I lowered my hands and slowly opened my eyes, but then I was shocked…

「…Eh…?」(Alice)

The giant blue dragon that was right in front of me a second ago suddenly disappeared.

「No way… Where did it go? Did the ritual fail?」(Alice)

I started looking around in confusion.

How could such a big creature disappear just like that?

「Kyu!」(??)

「Hm?」(Alice)

While I was wondering what had just happened, I heard a strange voice from below.

I shifted my gaze downward and saw a blue snake right in front of my feet.

「Hiiiiyy!!」(Alice)

Thinking it would bite my leg, I spontaneously stepped backward.

However, when I looked at it closely, I noticed something. The snake looked familiar, especially those blue scales.

It’s completely different in size, but without a doubt, it isー

「Levy…? Is that you?」(Alice)

「Kyuu!!」(Levy)

「Eeehh!?」(Alice)

What in the world just happened? Did it shrink?

But… It shrank too much!

While I was trying to grasp the situation, another notification window appeared.

ーーーーーーーーーー
Congratulations! You have acquired a new pet! Please take care of your new partner with love!

You can use a Summoning Stone to store them and summon them whenever you like.

You can see your pets’ stats in the pet section.
ーーーーーーーーーー

After the notification window disappeared, a stone suddenly appeared in my hand.

〈 Levy’s Summoning Stone (nondisposable item) : Can be used to store and summon your pet.〉

「Oohh! I get a Summoning Stone! Does it mean that the contract was successful?」(Alice)

「Kyu!」(Levy)

Levy answered my question with a nod. They looked so cute in this form.

「Come, Levy!」(Alice)

I crouched down and stretched my hand toward them. Levy then climbed up and wrapped their body around my shoulders.

Levy was as big as a ten-story building, but now they’re no longer than one meter in length. They look just like a snake but have blue scales and fins. Even their huge, intimidating golden eyes look so small now.

I was afraid that I couldn’t bring Levy to a town since they might scare people, but now I don’t have to worry about that.

「Levy, let’s take care of each other from now on. I’m looking forward to going on an adventure with you!」(Alice)

「Kyu!」(Levy)

I guess they said, “Me too!”

Levy looks so happy.
