Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 620 Saying goodbye to cuties

[< "Yes, yes. We will definitely meet again. I promise.

You can ask sir Quesnel for permission if any of you want to stay in this garden as well. That way, we will be able to meet often." >]

There were few left now, thankfully, and these were my last words to these cute creatures, hopefully.

"Miiiii? Mi, mi?"

[< "You can\'t live away from your parents young one. Not until you are capable enough to survive on your own. And besides, if they do not allow, I can\'t do anything about it." >]

"Miiiiii… Mi."

[< "Yes, so, go home for now. As your parents and see what they say." >]

This specific one was a special one among my bunch. She was young and belonged to a carnivore family of [Tusk Chinchilla].

She wasn\'t that special in terms of skills or abilities, but, her intelligence was a level higher than the othercreates present here.

She was cute as well, just like Quin, so Rein \'ordered\' me to take special care of her.

[< "Alright. See you later sweetheart." >]

"Miiiiiii~. Miiii."

She saluted me with her cute hands and tiptoed to the other side with the last batch of the creatures where the headmasters were standing with the master Codocodomi and our student council presidents.

The headmaster then sent them back to the places they all had come from, to their home, or the places they wanted to go to.

It was nighttime already so some creatures had taken shelter in this garden or the Greenhouse of the academy and some nocturnal creatures had just arrived in the academy so, some students who were still present in the garden were playing with them.

\'The garden was relatively empty though since the event had officially ended, and the students as well as the creatures had gone to their dorm rooms.\'

There weren\'t many people around the stage anymore and aside from our group, most of the students were by themselves or in smaller pairs.

The moon was hanging in the sky, serene moonlight was grazing our skins, Rein was looking even more beautiful than before and, a gentle breeze was cooling the warm earth.

"Haaaa… it was exhausting."

Rein came to me after sending off the young ones of her own group and… she jumped on me as we both crashed down to the ground.

"Why do you do this? You know it hurts right?"

She basically tackles me heavily to make me fall down. And since it is difficult to make me fall down thanks to my superior balance, the amount of strength she uses is… crazy.

\'She is stronger than me when it comes to physical strength so, when she does that thing, though fun for her, the impact is no joke on my side.\'

She likes it though… I can endure this much.

"Anyway, looks like Zoe and that bird have become somewhat closer now."

"Hum-hmm. Looks like it. I expected it but he certainly knows about her true identity. Well, he\'s special and reliable. I don\'t think he would ever reveal this fact to anyone else."

On the ground with her on top of me, we glanced at how Zoe was saying her goodbyes to the giant holy eagle with Eula by her side.

"Haaaa… today was fun."

"Sure was."

"Right~? I got my own familiar just like you said I would~."

"Give us poor souls a moment, Carla. Go take a ride on Beth. Test out the skills while you are at it as well."

"Right! I almost forgot! Let\'s go, Elisabeth~."

"Weeeeeehehehehe~!"

She was emotional at first when they finished their bonding but after that, she became the happiest person on this island.

She talked with Beth about her life and shared her own, they talked, became close, and now, the two of them were very close friends.

\'They looked cute together but Carla has never learned about how to handle the horses, certainly not the ones like Beth so we will have to teach her a lot of things.\'

They still have a long way to go before they know about each other more than enough to have a bond similar to the one we had with our familiars.

\'Thankfully, I have handled the wild horses of the great forest when the master was teaching me about the mounts, and Rein had enough experience with all kinds of military horses that she knew how to handle their needs and wants better than me.\'

We will help her later like everyone else… ohh!

[[ "Should we charge the others for our services when we help them regarding their familiars?" ]]

[[ "It\'s our job to help the others as the council members dummy. And besides, why do we have to extort money from poor children?" ]]

[[ "No no. I wasn\'t talking about money. You see, there exists a certain thing called IOU. You get what I mean, right?" ]]

[[ "Jeez you damn devil. At least leave the children alone." ]]

[[ "Hehe, they might come in handy sometimes dear." ]]

Everybody has some form of use to someone at some turn in their lives. Who knows, some of the students that we help might just turn out to be high-ranking officials of a specific place that we need some assistance with.

There was always a possibility in place. Plausibility as well, but predicting change is an annoying process.

"Alright, enough resting. Let\'s get over with the last thing and go get some sleep."

"We aren\'t sleeping today, darling."

She had a warm smile on her face… damn she was serious about this. Haaaaaaa.

"Anyway, get up. Let\'s get going."

"Hehehehe."

She smiled, no she smirked first and then tried to hide her smile but I noticed that subtle change. She knew that I had noticed it as well so she acted quickly, grabbed my hands with hers, used some of her \'shadow hands\' to distract the eyes looking at us, and quickly kissed me before getting up.

"This isn\'t fair Uriel."

"Yes, headmaster? Ah, yes!"

She ran away towards the headmaster and the others without a single word, which wasn\'t right. This isn\'t how we do it. It had to be two-sided, not one-sided like that one. This was unacceptable.

[[ Hehehe, master lost~. ]]

[[ "Oy? This isn\'t some competition that I would lose!" ]]

[[ Hehehehe, no you lost~. You know that as well~. ]]

[[ "Shut up Celes." ]]

[[ Hehehe. ]]

What was loss in a one-sided kiss?! It wasn\'t some game to lose in the first place! Hump!

She ruined the mood, ughhh. I don\'t like this.

"So Lucifer. Care to include us poor people in the fun thing you will be doing now?"

"Of course headmaster. Everything is yours, this school, this garden, this stage, this summoning circle. Who am I to stop you from being part of anything?"

He wanted to watch he will watch then. Why ask in the first place?! It wasn\'t like he would go away if I told him to! The vice headmaster would kick me in the face during the next training session if I dared to deny her.

Why ask in the first place then?! Hump!

"What\'s up with this fella? He was fine and kissing just a moment ago…"

"Lover\'s quarrel vice headmaster, lover\'s quarrel. Don\'t pay much attention to him."

"…"

The vice headmaster\'s love life had been… dry. I don\'t blame her for asking such a question but why the hell is the headmaster answering her?! He had been single ever since-

"Alright, so Lucifer. What did you mean the summoning wasn\'t my fault? I didn\'t understand the things you said after that so explain it all again."

"Yes, so, Simple\'s put…"

Let\'s put personal matters aside. She and I will have to talk it out later.

"This summoning circle that we have here works on three simple principles, scanning, searching, and finding a match. The way it is made makes it \'near-universal which means anyone could at the very least attempt the summoning process and the circle will go through the process of scanning the one attempting the summon, searching in its database as well as the database of the \'nature\', search for a match that is at least ninety-three percent similar to each other and then it filters and finds an even closer match, pushing its accuracy to almost ninety-nine percent.

The reason if the summon ever succeeds, which means a scan is matched and a match is found, and the summoned creature has near-certain chances of bonding with the summoner, is because of this very complex process that is difficult to explain with words.

However, in your case Vice President Cradle, the main scanning that takes place results in a call for information, creating an anomaly that affects the filtering system and the search itself fails, thus, resulting in the summoning of a creature that is neither a match nor even a proper creature that is safe to be present here.

It isn\'t your fault that you are one of those numbered beings that could cause such an anomaly with this summoning circle so do not blame yourself for what happened today or three years ago.

It was the fault of the system. And, the solution of this whole predicament, is pretty simple if you know good enough about the workings of the summoning circles."

"And you are saying you know about this summoning circle better than the headmaster who drew it here?"

"Ah, no. Of course, this summoning circle is fascinating to me equally. However, I know about the summoning circles as a whole. So, I believe I can edit the summoning circle to perform the summoning once more."

"And… how were you going to do this without the headmaster activating the summoning circle, student Lucifer?"

"I have my ways, vice headmaster. Well, since you are here anyway, how about you help me with this as well?"

"Me?"

"Yes. There\'s a certain matter that requires your expertise. Would you help me help someone meet the partner they deserve to be with, vice headmaster?"

"But there\'s no guarantee there will be anything coming out of the magic circle though."

"It\'s funny you are saying that, vice headmaster. Hehe."

She betted that we would have another familiar. There was no way in hell she would deny the fact that the vice president could have her own healthy and pretty familiar.

\'She is the one with most fail here, after all. Haha, no way she\'s turning a blind eye to this matter.\'
