Chapter 126

「「Onii~chan!」」

「N? Is something the ma――……!?」

――Shocking. An indescribable spectacle is currently happening right before my eyes.

It happened when walking in the forest near the capital while looking for a medicinal plant called Ice Flower Gra.s.s.

「Cute ones~」

「Many~」

After looking for medicinal plants in a thicket, Allen and Elena returned while holding small bunnies.

It’s adorableness was on a degree it could be only described as fiendish.

The bunnies which the two held were Pestel Rabbit. Cowardly creatures that will run away at full speed in front of humans. Their size reaches a size that even an adult like me would have to hold one with both of my hands.

Their fur is monochrome. It goes from the normal bunny’s white, brown, black and grey to colorful colors such as red, blue, pink and yellow. They are bunnies with abundant color variation.

I don’t know how their heredity works, but it seems that children won’t be necessarily born of the same color as their parents. It appears to be impossible to predict with what fur color the children will be born.

They are popular as pets because of their appearances, but they are more or less, F-rank monsters.

I often see requests to capture Pastel Rabbits at the Adventurer’s Guild. It’s a low-rank request, but the degree of difficulty as actually high.

The presence detection ability of Pastel Rabbits is excellent, so finding them is a difficulty on its own. Moreover, once you find them, they flee the moment you approach. They are monsters like that.

Well, on the other hand, the reward for capturing them should be set relatively high.

Five of those bunnies. A white bunny in Allen’s arms. A pink one in Elena’s. Moreover, another cream-colored, tawny, and light blue bunnies are gathered at their feet.

「Allen, Elena, those Pastel Rabbits didn’t run from you?」

「「They came~」」

「Eh!? The Pastel Rabbits approached you?」

「「Un!」」

To tame them on the first sight… should I say as expected or that’s like Allen and Elena or……

Allen and Elena rushed over to me while each holding a Pastel Rabbit. Then, the three Pastel Rabbits at their feet chased after them.

They are chasing instead of fleeing……

When I crouched and tried presenting my hand, their noses twitched as their approached.

I heard that they get attached to a degree when kept as pets, but…… it’s not normal for wild ones to be this easily tamed. To put it bluntly, it’s abnormal, but well things like that happen……?

「「Cute, aren’t they~」」

Seeing the children play with the bunnies is really calming. It’s calming, but……

「Allen, Elena. What are you going to do about these children?」

「「Uh?」」

If we had a home we could have kept them, but…… unfortunately, we are currently freeloaders. Therefore, it’s not like we can bring them back.

「「Like everyone. Can’t~?」」

「…… Everyone?」

「「Un!」」

「Joule, Bolt and」

「Feat, Vector~」

「Ah, you meant it like that……」

Allen and Elena want me to contract the Pastel Rabbits. Pastel Rabbits are monsters after all. Indeed, contracting them would be possible. There wouldn’t be a problem with my magical power.

Besides, if I contract them, it would be possible to put them into the shadow, so there wouldn’t be a problem with a place to keep them.

「「Can’t~?」」

「Gu……」

…… The two pleaded with puppy eyes.

Call me soft, but it’s impossible for me to say no to them here……

「…… Fine. But, you will have to regularly play with them and take care of them, okay?」

「「Un!」」

I decided to contract them promptly.

Come to think of it, Joule and others were contracted beasts to begin with while the contract with Kaiser is just a provisional one, so this will be my first genuine contract.

I had Allen and Elena put the Pastel Rabbits in their arms down and I developed the contract magic circle. Then, the five Pastel Rabbits became my contracted beasts without any resistance.

「Yeah, it went well without problems. Now then, we will have to name them」

「「Name~?」」

「That’s right. Will Allen and Elena give them names?」

「「Hmmm, you see……――」」
