After leaving Esta, me and Ralf headed to the guild alongside Snow.
I was told this by Alyazi-san but apparently if we register Snow as a familiar officially at the guild, we should be able to take it around outside without needing to hide it.
Well, to register a familiar, you did need a suitable job like a Monster Tamer or a Monster Master. Or, you needed a skill that allows you to control them butâŠâŠ..well, if he ask the vie-chief surely heâll make an exception for us.
Entering the guild quickly, we called the vice chief out.
âHello, Chris-san, and Ralf-san! OhâŠâŠEsta-san is not here with you today?â
âYeah, sheâs been busy with something so itâs just the two of us for a while.â
âIs that so. So anyway, how can I help you today? Do you need help with something?â
âSomething like that, we need a favour from youâŠâŠâŠActually, we want to register a monster as our familiar, but can you do it here in this guild?â
âOf course we can. As long as you clear the conditions, we will register it for you butâââOh is that the little one in question?â
Letting just Snowâs head outside the bag, we showed it to the vice chief.

Since we told it to be quiet and obedient, it was neither howling or trying to jump out either. Snow was as docile as they come.
âYeah, this is the one we want to register howeverâŠâŠâŠ..itâs likely, we wonât clear the conditions.â
âI see. So thatâs where you need the favour. You have neither a monster taming job nor a skill that allows the same but still want to register it as your familiar!âŠâŠ..have I guessed it right?â
âWord for word. Yes.â

Instantly realizing our intent, he avoided any wastage of time.
It was a crazy request but, maybe if itâs the vice chief he could do somethingâŠâŠâŠ.or at least thatâs what weâre hoping for here, but letâs see.
âIâm afraid that is a very difficult request, I must sayâŠâŠâŠ..however as it is a request from none other than you Chris-san, Iâll make an exception and let you register it.â
âReally?âŠâŠ..You sure itâll be fine?â
âI think it should be! As long as the monster you register doesnât go wild on a rampage or something, nobody should find out. However, if it ever brought harm on an innocent personâŠâŠâŠit will become a huge problem so please, be extra careful about that.â
âYeah, I understand. Even if something happened weâll make sure your name doesnât get dragged into it and weâll take full blame so be at ease.â
âI donât think it will work that way butâŠâŠ..I understand. But first, weâll need to make all sorts of records and youâll need to talk about its traits and characteristics etc.â
And so I explained everything I knew about Snow to the vice chief, and the vice chief wrote it all down.
After that, I was handed a smaller, adventurer card-like, card for Snow.
âThis is called a familiar card, and will act as your certificate and proof of your registration. As long as you show it when entering any town, theyâll let it in without any issues I think!â
âHuh, so there was card like this as well. Really, thanks for this.â
âNo no, youâre welcome. Anyway, Iâve made it seem like Chris-san has a skill that allows you to control monsters so please donât forget that in the future.â
âSure, I will be careful.â
And so thanks to the vice-chiefâs handiwork, we were able to register Snow as a familiar.
With this we donât really need to hide Snow inside our bag all the time but, for the time being, while weâre inside the town, weâll still keep it inside the bag.
I donât think itâll happen, but in the off chance it did end up attacking a normal person, thereâll be no going back from it.
Snow, who seemed knowingly happy, got a couple more headrubs from us before we returned home.

After returning home, and taking a short restââI alone headed to the [Travelling Cat Store].
I feel like it has been while since Iâve gone to the store directly myself.
The Jinpi potions I ordered, would be delivered home by Shantell because she wanted to come meet Snow every once in a while anyway, so I never really needed to head to her store.

Ralf would occasionally visit because he needs to buy other potions though from what Iâve heard.
As I pushed the door, the usual sweet ringing sound echoed inside the store.
This store really had a good atmosphere to it and the quality of the potions themselves was very high so I wondered why this place got so few customers, whenâŠâŠâŠ
âAH, Itâs Chris-san!! Long time no see!! Why havenât you been showing up to the store these days though!? Iâve been really lonely you know!!â
Right. Sheâs probably the reason.
Iâm already tired and this is just her greeting me.
The only reason I came today was because I had already delayed coming here multiple times because I knew itâd be a pain, and it was only now that I finally strengthened my resolve enough to come here.
If there had been literally any other alchemy shops in Oxter, I probably would have never become her regular.
âWell, you drop potions directly at our house so I lost any reason to come here, thatâs all.â
âN-no way!! Are you saying that just wanting to see me again wasnât good enough reason for you to come!?!â
âYeah, no I donât really ever feel like seeing you.â
ââŠâŠ..mumumu, then maybe Iâll stop delivering potions to your home then! Then, youâll have no choice but to come see me!â

âthen, we wonât let you inside the house for no reason either. Youâll only be allowed in if you take an appointment before hand and even then only when all of us are at the house.â
âNooooo!! Thatâs so harsh!! I just want to meet Snow more!!â
âThen, you will continue to deliver the potions to our house as usual. If you do, weâll let you in whenever you come. Thatâs frankly easier for us as well after all.â
Somehow I was able to convince her.
SeriouslyâŠâŠ..whenever I talk to Shantell, I always lose track of what I actually came for.
âUwaah, Chris-san youâre a dummy! Idiot! A Bully!!â
âYeah yeah, I donât care so letâs get to the topicâŠâŠ..how did the thing with the Venom Python poison turn out? Did you find anything?â
The reason why I came here personally was to hear the status on the Venom Python poison, which failed to raise any of my stats.
I still had two more vials left so hoping to find a good use for it, I asked Shantell to look some way to use it in a good way.
I didnât really have much expectations butâŠâŠ.
I didnât miss the change from her crocodile tears to a sly grin on Shantellâs triumphant face.
Now thenââCould it be, that she actually got a good result?
