Chapter 277: Introduction
“I'm going to cancel the contract for now.”
“Ah..."
I agreed with Darki, and without doing anything in particular, I felt the connection with Darki disappear on its own.
“That's the end of the contract.”
“Yes, it is.”
The contract ended easily. It had only been about a month since I had signed the contract with Darki, but I felt lonely.
“Remember how we talked about introducing you to a strong beast if your reputation was good?”
“Oh, yes, that's what you told me.”

This was the line that was said to me before I signed the contract with Darki. I had completely forgotten about it.
“Zeros has been more active than I had envisaged. So I'm going to introduce you to a strong beast. Since your contract is now with the king and the king's assistants, at the very least, the beast I'm going to introduce must be of a Fantasy species.”
“Fantasy species?"
Fantasy species are beasts that are supposed to exist only in illusions, like the nine tails Darki.
“The problem is that the number of fantasy beasts are very small and their personalities are very strong. Some are busy training to become the next Beast King, while others are obsessed with a certain rare girl.”
“Oh, will there be a new Beast King soon?”
“In a few hundred years, the education necessary to become Beast King will be complete.”
I don't think I'll live to see the next king. But come to think of it, is my lifespan a human lifespan? Yeah...let's not think about this...
“Ah...Yug, were you educated like that too?"
I think Yug's mental age is low for being educated for such hundreds of years. Could it be that for a species like spirits, who don't have a life span, their mental age rises slowly?
“I wasn't educated or anything like that.”

“That's why she has an assistant. Normally, a spirit becomes king after they have received sufficient education. There are usually no assistants.”
It seems that Yug is a special case. Was Yug's father such a proper man?
“Let's get back to the matter, shall we? So there’s no fantasy species that is willing to sign a contract with you, Zeros. That means I can't keep my promise to introduce a strong beast to you. As the king of beasts, I cannot break my promise. Therefore, I have decided to introduce a beast that is the strongest among the strong fantasy beasts, and is ranked as high as those who have already made a contract with the you.”
“Thank you"
I can see that he had to work very hard to introduce something. It seems that he still managed to find a fantasy species to introduce to me.
“The beast's features are, first of all, it’s beautiful fur. Furthermore, it can use psychokinesis with its magical powers."
“Hmm?”
I know one beast that fits that description very well.
“To be more precise, the beast is a nine-tailed fox.”
“Aah-ha-ha...!”
Ad
When he said that much, I was able to understand what Darki was trying to say.
“Zeros, will you sign a contract with that one?”
“Of course! I'd love to have you Darki!”
And then I felt the connection between me and Darki again.
"Haa... if you were going to sign another contract, why put up this farce...?"
I was about to complain to Darki, but got stuck in mid-sentence. I was at a loss for words because he had changed his appearance from a nine-tailed fox to a humanoid.
His appearance is not much different from that of a beastman. The only thing that stands out is the nine tails that appear from his shrine maiden-like clothing.
And I was surprised that its gender was female. When she was a beast, she had a low voice, so I thought she was a man....
"Human...you became a Human!? And a woman!”
"Oh? I didn't tell you? I...or rather, any of the fantasy species can at least turn into a person.”
The darki that transformed into a person had a slightly dangling, older sisterly face. The hair is the same dark citrus color as the tail and extends down to the waist. And although she may be just a little scrawny because she is dressed as a shrine maiden, her breasts are... not so much.
“I can say this without hesitation now.”
“Hmm?"
The tone of voice has also changed. I wonder if this is just me or maybe she hasn’t been showing her true colors because of the temporary contract.
“The way you fought those heroes was unbelievable!”
Ad
“Hmm?”
“It's okay that you beat the weakest of the heroes first. But that was too much overkill for any of the heroes. Even if you had used less power, you could have taken them all out with ease. Also, why did you skip the small step of putting the finishing blows on them? Do you have any idea how much trouble you went through because of that? If it weren't for that, we would have won easily. Besides, ....."
“E---eh?”
Suddenly, she started firing off a series of useless comments about the battle with the heroes like a machine gun. I froze, unable to say anything.
“Darki is almost a battle geek. I guess what she had been suppressing was now overflowing. I don't think it will be like this next time. So, just go along with her this one time."
Bros said and went back into the green darkness. And Yug and Zeal went back inside me, too. Hey! If you say so, you guys should stay with me!
After that, the lecture by Darki on the battle so far lasted for less than two hours. After finishing everything she wanted to say, Darki went into Suikou with a satisfied look on her face.

Didn’t see that coming, wich is pretty strange because it was really obvious and is essentially the norm in novels like this. Refering to both the things that happened.
