I faced towards the wolf and goblin. Even now they were happily chowing down on some meat. A name, huh.

I’d be really sad if they died later on if I were to name them now. But the two of them have already gotten pretty strong. Thinking about the future though, I’d like the two of them to be dignified senpai’s for any new monsters I tame from now on.

That’s why I’ll name them. …Although I say that, I can’t seem to come up with any good names for them. Well alright, I’ll start with the goblin.

Since it’s technically a female it would probably be good to stick with a feminine name. However it should still be a name that suits a goblin. Something like Gob… Gob… Goblia? Having ‘gob’ in the name really doesn’t make it sound strong. But, well I guess Goblia is fine.

“Hey goblin, could you come here for a sec?”

“Gobu?” The goblin looked over to me with a bewildered look. …I let out a small breath. I was a bit nervous. After this I won’t be able to see them as just a goblin.

I might lose them later on. But I will still live side by side with this goblin. That’s right, I’ve made my mind. “I’m giving you a name. Starting today, you are now Goblia.”

“…” After I said that the goblin, no, Goblia’s eyes opened wide in surprise and her mouth slackened into a smile. Then she jumped towards me, so I caught her.

After calming Goblia down I turned to the wolf. The wolf was staring at Goblia with a look a jealousy. I bet it’s something really happy. Since Goblia looked so happy about it, receiving a name is probably a joyous occasion for monsters.

Hopefully, I’m not wrong about that.

“You too wolf, come here.”

“…Ruff.” The wolf looked over to me as if had been waiting for that. I planned to name wolf as well at the same time. I stared at the wolf for a bit… Rufina. That’s probably fine. Since the wolf is also a female I made sure to pick a feminine name.

“Alright wolf, you are now… Rufina. How’s that?” After I said the the wolf, Rufina looked towards me, then came close and bent her head. After I petted that wolfs head she closed her eyes in bliss. …Alright, I’ve finished naming the two of them.

While I was still a bit tense about it, I checked the two’s status.

Their new names were properly displayed on their statuses. Also, right after naming them their stats went way up.

…What’s up with that? We’d been out earning points together, but their stats have grown way too much.

I’m sure there’s a reason for this, but I’ve got no clue. Perhaps there’s some kind of racial limit on their status or something.

Maybe it won’t be too much longer until I can use monster evolution technique on them? Although I can’t quite use it yet, I’m looking forward to it later. After playing around with them for a bit I checked how many points I’ve gathered.

From killing stone rocks and woodhudes I’ve totalled 5000 points. Guess it’s time to roll the gacha and power myself up.

I used up all the points I’d gathered to roll the gacha. A treasure chest sparkling golden appeared. …Well that’s the safe outcome. Four bronze, three silver, three gold, and one rainbow.

Right away I looked at all the bronze ones.

I’ll just ignore this part as per usual. Next I took a look at silver.

Huh!? Since my luck had been pretty bad lately I’d been losing hope, but an unfamiliar skill called healing technique came out. Rather, all the best things in the gacha come out from silver. I checked healing technique with appraisal right away.

…I see huh. It didn’t have any particularly showy effects like I expected, but it’s undoubtably a useful skill to have on hand. I’ve essentially begun thinking that any new skill coming out is a hit. Of course this doesn’t include useless skills for weapons I can’t use like spear technique.

Next I took a look at the gold type skills.

Yeah, there’s all skills that I’m happy to get. Finally we have rainbow. I’ve already gotten all the basic skills from the summoner gacha. This part was a lot less exciting for me than before.

Well, I’m glad to have my skill level go up. So far I’ve been able to gather those skills safely. Luckily, they haven’t gotten particularly unbalanced on one of them.

Once I max out their levels, I can probably expect to have more overlapping skills. I’d like to max out my skills if I possibly can this month as well.

After raising my skill levels I checked my status and skills. …I’ve been here for about a month now, and I’ve certainly grown a lot from before. Of course, my status has gone up, but now I’ve made some companions.

“Goblia, Rufina. I think I’ll make some more monsters into companions starting from today. Want to help?”

“Gobu!”

“Ruff!”

Goblia and Rufina followed behind me. As I felt a little happy seeing this I walked out into the forest.

…At that moment in time, something moved. I looked in its direction and found a person there.

“Hey Crest, I finally found you.” Standing there with an off-putting smile on his face was my second oldest brother, Albert.
