02-19-Bombing, Kobotaro
A spear lying horizontally towards me.
Rags and tatters worn up and down.
A hairy body.
Dog’s head. Drooping dog ears are wagging.
There was Kobotaro, with eyes far duller than those of the minor kobolds I had fought, kneeling reverently before me.
“Kobo-taro.”
“Gauu!”
“We meet at last.”
“Gaah!”
In appearance, it is a Kobold. Except for the dull eyes and the flattened, obedient ears, it is a monster Kobold. Its ferocious-looking fangs gleam white.
But what is this love that wells up from the depths of my heart?
“Wow … Fujima-kun, you really summoned a monster …”
“Toru, why”
“I want to be a strong summoner as soon as possible. I think it would be better for me to have some experience consuming MP today.”
I felt that I could read the [MP] and [Summon] skill books faster.
“Kobotaro”
“Gau”
“What are you good at?”
“Gauu!”
Kobotaro picked up the spear that was placed horizontally between himself and me and raised it.
“That’s enough. Kobotaro, I will be the greatest summoner of all. I’ll be the best summoner anyone has ever seen, and I’ll be the one to summon dozens and dozens and hundreds and thousands of monsters. The first one will be you, Kobotaro.”
“Gauu!”
“We will conquer the world together. Let’s do our best, Kobotaro.”
“Gaah!”
Having said that much, I wobbled on my feet. Ashima rushed over to me, but
“Guru …”
“Ha … haha … I said something great, but now it’s like this.”
“Gaah!”
Kobotaro, who stood up faster than Assimar to catch me, knelt down in front of me again when he was sure I had regained my balance.
“Ah, I see…when MP suddenly runs out, ………… this is indeed a tough one.”
“I told you.”
I feel dizzy, or rather I feel a little sick. I sat up in bed.
Kobotaro stood up and laid me on the bed, and knelt down with one knee on his back. His left hand holds the spear …
“Wawawawawa……”
…… Ashima and Lydia are under some messed up pressure. It’s already menacing.
“Kobotaro, these two are ………… ah, what can I say, they are collaborators. There is no need to antagonize them, no need to be alarmed.”
“Guru.”
When Kobotaro stood up at my words, he bowed to the two as if to say “I’m sorry” and knelt down next to my pillow.
Close to my face …
“I’m sorry, Kobo. Actually, I just called you today. I wanted to see what it was like to be summoned, and I wanted to get stronger as soon as possible. Besides, I wanted to meet you.”
“Gau”
Needless to ask.
Kobotaro knows what I’m talking about. He just can’t speak in human language.
“Let me take a break for 20 minutes. Then let’s go out a little.”
“Gah!”
Wow, super honest.
Oh, it’s so soothing. ……
“Toru, amazing”
“What? What?”
Lydia is comparing me lying down and Kobotaro sitting upright.
“Kobo-Taro has an ego. Kobotaro has a heart. Usually summoned monsters do not have a heart. Even if they did, it would take a long time, a month or a year, to develop. Usually, summoned monsters are faithful servants of the summoner. They listen to everything you say and do everything faithfully.”
Well, yes, that’s what a summons looks like.
“Kobo released his guard towards me and Ashima at Toru’s direction. But he did not let his guard down completely. Normally, he would have been completely obedient to the summoner’s words. But even though he turned his back on us, he was trying to protect Toru from us. That’s strange.”
Mind and ego, huh?
“That’s good,” I said. “As long as you don’t do anything wrong, it’s much better than being a yes-man or a puppet. Besides, the ego has been there ever since you were in the will.”
I think that the blue glitter that flutters in response to my words was definitely the ego of Kobotaro. That’s why I really wanted Kobotaro.
“It’s still a mystery.”
“What is it?”
“Toru, you seem pleased that the summoned monster has an ego.”
“Of course, I’m happy about it.”
“Why?”
“Why ……… I think that’s what makes me more attached.”
Even as I say it, I’m already feeling attached to him. I love his dull eyes, drooping ears that move, his honesty, and so on.

Karan karan.(bells ringing)
The sound that seems to come out even with coffee as usual, and the smell of little old books.
“Good evening ♪”
And, fortunately, there were no other customers at the skill book shop where this cute shopkeeper was.
“Nyanya? Nice to meet you?”
“excuse me for disturbing you”
Cocona and Lydia, meeting for the first time, introduced themselves, and their gazes fell on Kobotaro.
“Oni-chan, finally?”
“Oh. It’s called Kobotaro. Look, greetings.”
“Gau”
“Kokonya-chan Nya ♪ Nice to meet you, Kobotaro ♪”
“Gaah!”
…… Here in Eschmerde, there seems to be no particular problem with walking around town with a summoned monster in tow.
I recognize Kobo-taro as my friend, but the people in the town are not surprised to see a monster! I wondered if they would be surprised. I was worried about that.
“That’s right. Summoned monsters don’t have the will to kill or hostility. Even if people in town see them, they are summoned monsters! They don’t feel in danger. In fact, there are many summoners in town with summoned monsters in tow.”
Well, there still aren’t many summoners, the landlady explained.
As long as they don’t summon a large number of monsters and don’t obstruct traffic or otherwise cause trouble, it’s all right, she said.
“Nya? … Nyanya? Maybe Kobotaro, can he get a skill book?”
“I remember reading that he can set up to one skill book in his status.”
“Oh! That’s great. I’ll go get the skill monolith for now, so wait a bit ♪ …”
Cocona-san – well, she said I could call her that – Cocona ran happily to the back of the store.
“No, I want you to take the white sand if you go to the back …. Hey.”
Kobotaro is carrying on his back a leather bag filled with “Orfe’s White Sand,” which has recently been collected on the beach.
I just made a deal with Cocona yesterday to exchange 30 units of Orphe white sand and a leather bag for 2 silvers and 2 leather bags… …… I mean, that’s exactly why I came here.
“Please wait ♪”
Cocona holds four skill monoliths with both hands with a smiling face. Damn, she’s trying to get me to buy them, isn’t she?
“Hey, Cocona,” I said. I didn’t bring any money today”
“Don’t worry.”
Cocona hands us the skill monolith and pulls out two leather bags and two silver coins from an empty space.
“If it’s money, it’s here ♪ Orpheus’s white sand 30 units, Maidoari nyan ♪ (Pleasure doing business)”
Scary! She’s going to make us spend the entire white sand deal amount on skill books!
“This shop is amazing. There are many skills I have never seen.”
“Nya Hmm, Liddy-nyan is very discerning, and although I don’t have any high-end products, my variety of products is second to none.”
I think they put [limbo dancing] or something like that. What should I do when it becomes possible to learn it? I mean, what’s with Liddy-Nyan?
“Gau?”
Kobo Taro tilts his head asking, “What should I do?”
I sighed and had no choice but to operate the skill monolith.
