James L (100), Schuyler C (10), Jeffery M (10), Alexander T (10), Charles S (10), Henry F (5), Pawel B (5) are the wonderful sponsors for today, thank you all for your support

”It has taken some time, but we have accomplished the task, Bocchan!” said Sam

Knochen let out a happy roar

”Vandalieu-sama, you have become even more wonderful than before!” said Tarea

”The skewer business and the conversion ofwell too, everything is going smoothly!” said Kanako

Nuaza let out a happy shout ”I aratulations, Vandalieu Show everyone your new form,” said Darcia

Amidst everyone's cheers, Vandalieu stood up

His soul's appearance was far cleaner than its previous for scattered all over its surface

Fro armor and fur But if one looked carefully, they would realize that he was far too thin to wear armor

And frorotesqueness What appeared to be armor was actually a hard exoskeleton and carapace, and what appeared to be decorations were actually horns and cos and s were actually jointed legs that were organized into two bundles

The shi+eld that his left ar was h his exoskeleton and entwined with his carapace And his clawed right hand was holding a staff that looked like a brain… If one looked closely, it was a sphere composed of countless brains that had their nerves wrapped around each other, and the shaft of the staff was a tongue that extended fros protruding from it, enormous ordinary eyes, Demon Eyes, hair and horns

The inside of his body was visible through gaps in his joints; the blood vessels visibly pulsated, and his internal organs squire-colored liquid would drip from Vandalieu's eyeballs

And there was death-attribute Mana… constantly e brain waves fro around him like blood

”It's easier to reat job, everyone,” said Vandalieu

”Words of praise It seeht, three cheers to celebrate a job well done!” so the crowd

Everyone who had participated in the soul reconstruction task, the enormous Vandalieu and the countless save three cheers in celebration

Waking up suddenly, Vandalieu looked at his Status and saw that his Mana had completely recovered

But he was suspicious and confused

”What's wrong, Vandalieu? If you're not feeling well again, you can have so in the bed next to his

”No, that's not it… My soul's construction was finished inwhat all of the countlesswere,” said Vandalieu

He pondered this question, unable to understand the current state of his soul, but after a minute, he decided that it wasn't harmful so it wasn't really important

At that exacttreatment in the Divine Reale, distant, echoing roar

”What is this terrifying noise?!” he exclaimed

”A roar that echoes in 's army who is related to slumber and drea who had joined forces with Vida, the one who defeated you and devoured Curatos-dono,” said Mill

”No, it's too early! He really does exist in a realm beyond humans…!” Heinzdid not subside for soement,' 'Increased Mana Recovery Rate,' 'Enhanced Vitality,' 'Bloodwork,' 'Cooking,' 'E,' 'Group Thought Processing,' 'Group Control' and 'Soul Form' Skills have increased!》

Seeing Fang place one paw in Vandalieu's hand, then place the other paw in Vandalieu's hand, lie down, stay, and stand up on his hind legs just as Vandalieu coasp

”Wonderful To think that a boy who has not received instruction under another Ta a pet for the first ti, in just one week!” he said

”… It's because he's very smart,” said Vandalieu, not very happy despite the Guild e barked happily

This was probably because he had experienced no troubles whatsoever teaching Fang tricks and training hi could immediately understand all of Vandalieu's orders except for one To Vandalieu, Fang was si was not a particularly special dog In fact, he could have been considered to be inferior to the average stray dog That hy he had wandered behind the house that Vandalieu had bought, unable to feed hi Vandalieu's pet, he received the effects of Vandalieu's Guidance, and his Attribute Values were increased beyond those of any other dog This hy he had beco is clever, but… I wonder if it has so to do with the fact that you are a Dhampir?” said the Guild employee ”I have heard that Vampires possess not only the ability to transform into wolves and bats, but also the ability to use such animals as their familiars and control them freely”

”It's true that Vampires can transform into wolves and bats, but the latter is superstition,” said Vandalieu ”Or maybe it's simply the case that there are Vampires ere Tamers while they were still human”

”I see… Very well You pass I hereby acknowledge you as an associate istration card and a collar

A common misconception was that the Tamers' Guild was a Guild only for those who tamed and used monsters, but this was not the case Anyone who used any ister

The term 'Tamer' was a broad one that included shoho used monkeys in their shows, snake charmers who controlled snakes with flutes, and shepherds who skillfully s and sheep

Of course, few such perforister at the Tah it was possible for theister, they only tamed animals that couldn't exactly be called familiars, so they could only become associate members at most No matter how much experience so wild animals, they would need to teach tricks to a Rank 1 ress, and even then, they would still be below the newco tio, so those who tamed monsters were the ones with influence, and there were almost no benefits for those who could only taister

The only such people benefiting fro dog trainers registering at the Guild and applying to be introduced to potential employment by nobles or rich merchants

”You are now an associateto handlefor your food cart, then registration at the Tamers' Guild is not necessary, and there is alood at handling dogs, so I think your registration would be quite less,” said the Guild e a food cart I thought that it was in a place that doesn't draw much attention,” Vandalieu remarked

”Well, yes It is a food cart run by a Dhampir and a beautiful Dark Elf in this country It would be strange for it to not become a topic of conversation If I wasn't worried about upsetting ht district to have a look myself”

A week had passed since Vandalieu opened his food cart, but it seemed that he and Darcia had already become famous in the city… Darcia would soon conduct a sermon at the Communal Church, so in another week's time, perhaps news of thees as well

”If you can't think of anyactually disadvantageous?” the Guild e confused ”The only difference is that you have to follow a lot of rules”

Guildthe monsters and animals they ta to pay a large fine when one's tae to others for no proper reason, so Vandalieu didn't think that this was inconvenient at all

”Even if I'ives me another form of identification,” Vandalieu said

”You don't need identification since you've already istration at the Coht That man has his eyes set on you I see No wonder a child with a teistration was allocated a spot in a back alley in the red-light district,” the e that Deputy Guild Master Joseph of the Co Vandalieu ”So that is why you have registered at our Guild as well, just in case It is convenient for us, but unfortunate for you But rest assured; even though he is a Deputy Guild Master, he would be unable to force you out of the Guild without a good excuse And if things get too hard, you can always leave the Commerce Guild and rely on the Tamers' Guild As a Tamer myself, I'll teach you the basics!” the e already become an associate member, if he were to show the Guild employee Pete and Kühl ere equipped inside hi examples, like the Demon Ducks and Capricorns in Talosheim's farms, or the experimental animals that had recently mutated intotaught the basics

But he was sincerely happy at the man's kind words, so he just nodded

”Thank you I'll count on you if the ti you want to talk to e to Guild Master Bachem!” the ht was a mere employee was actually the Guild Master of the Tamers' Guild

He had likely taken over the desk after hearing that the ruave a suspicious sniff

”… Alright,” said Vandalieu, deciding not to focus on beco a Tamer

In reality, he taood-natured Guild Master

After attaching a collar to Fang, Vandalieu headed to the butcher to stock up on rilled skewers

”Your Majesty, is Islsan going to be okay with this?” asked Princess Levia, glancing at the collar of the proud-looking Fang with a worried expression

”Isn't this dangerous around Eleanora? Bellmond too,” said Orbia

Isla, as currently infiltrating the city's crianization, was a Vampire Zombie who had remained low-key for three years after she became an Undead in order to acquire the 'Eclipse Emperor's Hound' title and receive a collar Eleanora and Bellreat effort and dedication in order to receive collars from Vandalieu

But surely even they would not be jealous of Fang, as actually a dog… though nobody could be certain of this

But Chipuras was glaring at Fang, his jealousy practically glowing

”This dog wears a collar that I, Chipuras, the forer able to wear…!” he groaned

He had also been a Vaues

”Chipuras, your tone has not quite become unpleasant, but control yourself I'll tell Isla and the others when they come to the house, so it's essentially fine,” said Vandalieu

”Boss, are you trying to say that things are not actually fine?” said Kiood opportunity to invite them here, and thank them for their hard work,” Vandalieu whispered

If I make collars out of Spirit Silver, would Ghosts be able to wear theh it was called a butcher's store, the store that Vandalieu was using was actually a meat wholesale store that was used by business owners as well as ordinary custoraphic, with uncutand e knives to carve chunks of meat as their customers had ordered

”Excuse me, could I please have some meat to be used for skewers? I'd like Horn Rabbit and Giant Rat, as well as Giga bird meat if you have it,” Vandalieu said to one of the store's workers

He wasthe same order as last time, and the workers knew his face, so this wouldn't cause any probleer would tell him, ”Here you are,” and hand him meat wrapped in dried leaves or skins, and Vandalieu would pay hie

That's what should have happened

But today, the store er had a sour look on his face, and he made no effort to wrap any meat

”… Sorry, we're sold out,” he said

”Sold out?” Vandalieu repeated ”Then what is that Giant Ratover there?”

”Th-that's… reserved for another customer Can't sell it to you!”

”Then what about that Horn Rabbit thigh there?”

”Th-this was butchered by a rookie and it's daed! I can't sell it to customers!”

”Then could I please have that wild boar meat over there?”

”Th-that's left over froone bad! I can't hand it to you!”

”Then I'll take that bear h bear meat has a distinct, unusual flavor that makes some people dislike it”

”That's… Wait, why can a kid like you tell different cuts of er demanded

”Even if you ask me that, I can only answer that I can because I can,” Vandalieu replied cal to redients and funds in a new environ' Skill had recently risen to Level 8 He was skilled enough to be able to work at a first-rate restaurant

He redients that he had never seen before in his life, but it wasn't hard for hi before from their external appearance and the blood vessels that were left

Perhaps realizing this, the store er's face isted in a complicated expression

”… The cuts we have in stock now aren't really rare, but you can tell thehed

But it see Vandalieu's order

”I'm sorry, but I can't sell you our meat If this was the only butcher's store in the city, I'd tough it out, but there are other butchers around I can't go against hi his head ”That's how it is This isn't so to a kid like you, but…”

Vandalieu stared at the top of the man's lowered head for a few seconds, and then lowered his own head in return ”I understand I'”

And with no further complaints, he quietly turned to leave the store

The store er hastily called out to hiht apply for the fish ht work out if you talk directly to the Adventurers' Guild We stock our meat from the Adventurers' Guild as well as hunters!”

”I see Thank you,” said Vandalieu

He stepped out of the store, patted Fang aiting for him outside, and headed for the Adventurers' Guild

”Your Majesty, what is going on?” asked Princess Levia

”I think Joseph's harassone a step up,” said Vandalieu ”He's put pressure on every wholesale store so that they won't sell any ingredients to me”

”Huh?! Isn't that really bad?!” Princess Levia exclaiuards! Let's report hiuards! If you can't be bothered with that, I'll just drown hi hi to calm Orbia down ”This Co things like this I have no doubt that he's made sure not to leave any paper trails that could be used as evidence Even for the oldthe butcher's store, he probably just sent a er to verbally threaten him not to sell Boss any meat”
