Ervas and Veronica's group then walked through the busy streets of Seashore, glancing at the diverse amount of people walk around, the merchants selling their products in the market, children playing around the fountain, and more.

​​

"Wait…" said Percy.

"Eh?" asked Ervas.

"Now that you guys are going to register in the Tamer Guild… you can't possibly register with the monsters you have, right, my Lords?" asked Percy.

"Hm? Why not?" asked Ervas.

"Yeah, I was going to bring Aqua, she can become little," said Veronica.

"I was going to register Ivy, she can also turn small now," said Ervas.

"Y-Yeah, I am sure that if… Ivy and Aqua become smaller, they might seem less threatening… the thing is… t-they is not really conventional monsters to be tamed… Slimes, Undead, and Plant-type monsters have never been seen tamed by non-Dryad or non-Liches… And such races are not around these places," said Percy.

"Oh… Really? We shouldn't try to awaken suspiciousness bringing them then…" said Ervas.

"Is that so? Well, we can bring Nidhogg and Charlotte then!" said Veronica.

"Those are not included either, my Lady! Bugs or Arachnids have never been seen tamed! Although I know you have told me that Arachne can tame arachnid monsters… and insectoids can do that too, those races are very rare too! And I have not seen any tamer like that in here… they often go around with Wolves, or Giant Demon Rats, sometimes just a Horned Rabbit, or a Big Lizard… More… normal monsters," said Percy.

"You're right… we don't want to awaken suspiciousness. We want to be recognized but not be looked weirdly," said Ervas.

"Yeah… this just got way more complicated now…" said Veronica.

"Also… bringing someone as Kyuu might also be suspicious, as he is from a most likely completely new race. And you do not want to awaken suspiciousness bringing an immensely strong Rank 8 New Species, right?" asked Percy.

"Certainly… not…" said Ervas.

"Yeah… What do we do then? What can we bring?" wondered Veronica.

"I believe that you can introduce your stronger monsters later on as you become closer with the Tamer Guild Master… But for now… It would be ideal to just bring a monster of Rank 1, perhaps," said Percy.

"Rank 1… that isn't a new species, nor a bug, arachnid, slime, undead, or plant?! You're asking for something pretty hard!" said Veronica.

"B-But that's how it is… I just wanted to help my lords as much as I could, sorry if I sounded rude…" sighed Percy.

"No, it's fine… I guess we are the ones to blame for not being a bit more rational," said Veronica.

"Indeed, we are so used to being with them that we see them as normal… but indeed, they are not normal at all within this society," said Ervas.

"But what can we pick? Should we go find some monster to tame in the wilderness?" asked Veronica.

"Actually, don't we got some cattle at the Kingdom?" asked Ervas.

"Oh yeah… Should we pick those?" asked Veronica.

"I think you once wanted a Horned Rabbit, right?" asked Ervas.

"Oh yeah! What about you?" asked Veronica.

"Do you remember the experiment we were doing with Abraham about giving my blood and your flesh to animals? Well some mutated animals became monsters, one of them is a bat," said Ervas.

"A bat… monster?" asked Veronica.

"A Rank 1 Black Bat," said Ervas.

"Then it is decided! A Rank 1 Horned Rabbit and a Rank 1 Black Bat are way more… normal monsters!" said Percy.

Veronica then quickly brought such creatures out of her soul with the help of her clone inside of her own soul, the two monsters seemed already rather tame, as if they had been encroached by Veronica by simply living inside of her soul.

"Aw, so cute, it is licking me," said Veronica, grabbing the adorable horned rabbit, whose fur was gray and eyes crimson red.

"It is also licking me… and drinking my blood," said Ervas, with the Black Bat being… obviously black-furred, with crimson eyes as well. Its tiny fangs were sucking off Ervas blood from his hand.

"Is that really okay? What if you get an infection, Ervas?" asked Jason.

"Don't worry dad I have high leveled Status Effect Resistance," said Ervas.

"That's… I guess that's okay…?" said Jason.

Ervas and Veronica's party then walked down the streets, reaching the Tamer Guild Building, a large building of four floors, finely painted with green paint, the entrance had a small stair, where a guard dog watched over, Ervas and Veronica noticed it was not a normal dog, being a Rank 4 Dark Hound, but seemed tamed by someone.

"Who's that dog?" asked Ismene.

"This is… I think Willian said something about the Guild Master's God guarding the door. He said that it sniffs bad people and bark at them to not enter… or something," said Percy.

"Oh really? So cute!" said Veronica, approaching it as the dog suddenly became on high alert, just by sensing Veronica's presence it became as stiff as a rock!

Veronica approached her hand over it as she began to pet it, the dog didn't even resist, it was completely paralyzed out of fear.

"This is what we lack! A dog!" said Veronica.

The dog only glanced at Veronica's gleaming crimson eyes and overwhelming aura (which she was actually suppressing a lot) and only swallowed saliva, it instinctively knew that if it dared to act aggressively, his fate could be even worse than death!

This dog had indeed such an ability, as Dark Hounds were said to be able to smell the sins of people… and this dog indeed had some kind of ability like this, being capable of sense if people had good or bad intentions, or if they were inherently malicious or pure.

But Veronica, to the dog's senses and eyes… was simply… something beyond both categories, way above it, something that it could only fear instinctively…

But it was not the fear against a strong enemy that could kill him if he did not fight… even if he fought, it was useless, it was an imminent fear of something he could not change, Veronica was not an 'enemy' it was simply the representation of death to him.

"Oh he's very stiff, I wonder what's wrong with him…" said Ervas, petting the dog, his presence, like Veronica, was just as overwhelming.

The dog thought of him as some kind of unmovable force of nature, as if he were the representation of the will of an entire forest or more.

And even deeper, it seemed as if he was a void that transcended existence.

"I guess he didn't bark at us…" said Anna.

"That's because we are good people!" said Kireina happily.

The dog glanced as the people entered the building where his master lived until the very last one entered the building…

Then, it suddenly gasped for air, as it rested over the ground exhausted…

Whatever these entities were… he managed to survive… somehow.

As the party entered the building, which seemed to be made of dark brown wood richly decorated with many beautifully crafted pieces of furniture.

The place seemed rather empty, as it was the tamer Guild, and not many people even had the talent to tame monsters, so unlike other Guilds, it was very calm.

However, the receptionist, a cat-kin girl that was reading a book that seemed to be named "Fifty Shades of Black" noticed the large group entering.

"Hmm welcome- NYA! A-Actual new people, nya?!" asked the girl, standing up and cleaning her desk, which had a lot of breadcrumbs from the sandwiches she enjoyed at lunchtime.

She was a rather petite girl, only reaching around one meter and forty centimeters, her hair was short and bobby-styled, her hair was brown-colored alongside her fur, and she had two large cat ears atop her head, alongside a long cat tail at her back, waving around.

Her eyes were aquamarine, and her face was small and cute, she was blushing a lot as well.

"W-Welcome! S-Sorry for… the presentation, nyaaa…" she muttered.

"A cat-kin… She's cute," said Kireina.

"Where are you looking at?" asked Ditoyle while pouting.

"N-Nothing my love, I was just looking, nothing more…" said Kireina apologetically, it seems that Ditoyle, unlike the many wives of her main body, did not approve of her looking over other women so easily…

"You better do…" said Ditoyle, pinching one of Kireina's ass cheeks.

"O-Ouch! Okay, okay…" said Kireina.

Ervas and Veronica ignored the two as they walked towards the front alongside Percy.

"Hello, my lords, Lord Ervas and Lady Veronica have come to register here…" said Percy.

"Oh! Alright, nya! It has been like two weeks since anyone came to register, nya! It is very strange to see a new tamer, nya… Well, it is a rare profession, no one is born with the talent, nya," said the catgirl, whose name was Catanya.

"I-I see…" said Percy.

"So, are you, adventurers, too?" asked Catanya.

"No sorry, but we are registered in the Merchant Guild…" said Ervas, as he and Veronica showed Catanya their VIP Member Cards.

"V-VIP MEMBER CARD, NYAA?!"

Catanya was so surprised that she fell to the ground.

"W-What's the problem?" asked Veronica.

"T-This is not something I can handle on my own, nya! I have to call sir Doragon!" said Catanya, rushing upstairs as she screamed as if her life depended on it.

"Sigh… It happened just what I feared…" sighed Percy.

"Eh? What?" asked Ervas.

"Well… it seems that although Willian told you to just show the cards… they are very rare, perhaps only the highest and richest of aristocrats have it… so it will cause a lot of commotion, as it means that they might confuse my lords with high aristocrats with a lot of authority…" said Percy.

"Oh…" said Ervas and Veronica at the same time.

It seems that things were getting interesting.
