"... that's it. The magical connection I just talked about... my instructions can be conveyed to this slime through" The Bond. "Like this, for example. Go around me three times."

When Ingo said so, the slime crawled around the ground in a powdery motion, occasionally jumping around the Ingo.

I see, you certainly have heard the instructions.

"Do you understand the words?

"No, not exactly. Of course, some monsters understand words. Like dogs and cats understand people's instructions in words. However, understanding differs depending on the monster. Besides, some people don't rely much on hearing in the first place. Death spirits... ahh, it's hard to tell the sea monsters in words."

"Are you saying that there is nothing in the system that can be called sensory organs in the first place?

The Reaper system means monsters of the same kind as Lent, called the Immortals.

Especially when it comes to things that don't have material flesh.

However, when it comes to dead spirits, we do not strictly know whether or not they are the souls of living beings.

It is true to behave like this, but there is also the idea that it is just a thought left behind after death, or that residual thoughts have a certain form by magic.

Well, normally speaking, it's not the ghost itself.

It is normal to not know that I am not a scholar who is studying monsters in detail.

Even if the dead spirits I knew spoke to you like that, few people would agree that it wasn't a ghost of your acquaintance.

It's hard to handle.

"Oh, I see. They behave as if they were listening to people, but what they are listening to is human thought, to be precise. That's how it gets through magic. Therefore, even if you obey the devil, it is often not clearly conveyed even if you instruct only by words."

"That's unexpected. If you talk about it, it's usually a conversation."

"Certainly, it doesn't make sense at all. But when you're talking to those Reapers... they don't mesh well, do they? That's because there are circumstances like what I just said. There's a subtle discrepancy between what people say and what they think in their heads."

"I see... if you say so, you'll be satisfied. So, what about the monsters in the marine habitat?

"In their case, it's simple. You're usually in the water, right? Normally, it doesn't get through much when you call it in your voice. You can't talk in the water, can you? Unless you use magic and magic tools."

"Ahh...."

It would have been natural if I had been told.

"I can hear verbal instructions when I'm on the water, but there are more monsters in the aquatic system that can only live in the water than there are monsters in the aquatic system. Almost all fish systems are. The monsters of the tortoise system can go up on land, but there is no need to dare. And it's hard to tell them what to do in the ocean."

"If so, how do you give them instructions?

"That's where the" bond "comes in. Through this connection, the thoughts of our subordinate magician, Monster Tamer, are conveyed to the monster. Lorraine needs some practice because she needs to get used to it. I can only say that I feel strongly about communicating my thoughts, so I have to try and make mistakes myself....."

"I mean, basically, you don't have to tell me in words."

"Oh, I just gave this slime a word to make it easier for Lorraine to understand. I make sure to speak up when I want people around me to understand what kind of instructions I gave to the monster. Otherwise, you'd be surprised.

"Certainly...."

For example, Lindbroom, where ingos can obey, if they fly silently when they get on it, they may suddenly shake it off.

In such a case, it would be better if you clearly insisted that I instruct you to fly with your mouth, even in the surroundings.

That's what I'm talking about.

Well, that's where the instructions are. After that, what was necessary for the monster? "

"Yes, about taking care of things... whether you need food or what to give them. It's about treatment."

"It's pretty much the same as caring for normal animals around here. In the case of slime, because it is miscellaneous, it is easiest because you can let it go. It's like the Reaper system that we talked about earlier. You can't eat normally, so you need to give them magic. In the case of such special monsters, research is necessary, so you should keep the slime to yourself first."

"Sure, if that's the case, the slime would be nice... I thought the Reaper system would be convenient."

The Reaper System has no substance.

In other words, you can go anywhere you want.

It is also possible to disappear, and if it can be regarded as a subordinate, it is hard to imagine that it would be quite convenient for scouting, etc.

Besides, I don't do it, but it would be very useful for assassinations and so on.

Considering that, I think it is good that ingo subordination magic is not widely disseminated.

Because I would like to ask for mercy in a world where assassinations by subordinates of the death spirit system are widely carried out.

It's convenient though. It's hard to manage. If you keep getting too much light, you'll disappear. This also leads to the answer to the third question, but it's one when you stop being a subordinate. If you die or disappear, the Bond disappears. The subordinate side can feel that feeling. "

"What does it feel like?

"This... feels like a hole. It will take a while, but this will come quite spiritually. That's why you should take care of your subordinates. But even if you obey, even if you walk with rotten flesh (zombies), your attachment will spring."

"... have you ever been subordinated to carrion walking?

"Once. From curiosity.... My movements seem kind of cute... but the smell is too bad and it's probably not hygienic. Besides, it looks like he's desecrating the body... and he immediately returned to me and buried it in the dirt with holy water."

"That would have been nice...."

Looks like Lent's stepfather on a boulder, and looks decent and out of place.

That's what I thought.
