So Kuisha slowly walked to the cautious creature and she smiled at it. Kuisha said a few silent words we could not hear.
I could have sworn the smart horse looked in my direction, as it nuzzled Kuisha intimately.
Soon the Golden Mane Pegasus was entering its Pact with Kuisha. I found out years later, she told it 'that her heart would break if it would not become her Familiar after her love wanted her to bond with it', I was touched, and so was her Familiar seeing my earnest care for Kuisha.
Not only did the horse have a gold mane, but I had just realized it also had green eyes, like Kuisha?!
-
For the next half hour, we found nothing of interest, and I feared I might leave empty handed.
Kuisha however just spent the whole time giving me happy flushed expressions, making me feel awkward. Even the Tamer was smiling at me passing on such a grand steed.
Zatouji said to me sadly.
"Sorry Prince Gremory, but we only have 15 minutes left before I must return you all. "
I smiled dejectedly and comforted the man. And I helplessly held my hands out to show I got nothing.
"No, you did great, it was just not time for me to find my destined Familiar, it is not like my companion would just jump into my open arms, right?"
And like the D×D Gods made fun of me, a ridiculous thing happened!
"Nyaaaaaaaaaa~!"
A small black kitten of Supernatural Origin, landed right in my open-palms, like I planned to catch the Kitten?!
Me, the black kitten, and everyone else looked dumbly at this situation. I could only smile at the kitten with golden-green eyes cutely staring up into my eyes.
I said it after feeling my Gremory urge.
"Seems I caught you after a long fall? I think I would like to be your Master, little one, what do you say?"
Zatouji said to me while shaking his head no.
"Sorry young Gremory, but that familiar is now 8 years old and is now untamable. It is called Bakeneko ("changed cat") and is a type of Japanese Youkai, or supernatural entity, more specifically, it is a Kaibyo, or supernatural cat.
It is often confused with the Nekomata, another cat-like Youkai. The distinction between them is often ambiguous, but the largest difference is that the Nekomata has two tails, while the Bakeneko has only one.
They can only be tamed if they are 6 years or younger, so sorry. .
. "
The black kitten hearing his words stuck out its tongue at him, then looked at me making cute meow sounds I do not understand.
"Nya~ Nya~ Nya~ Nya~!"
"Oh, Then would you like to become my Familiar?!"
The small black kitten nodded its head and sat up right in my hands, it then pawed the air in my direction like it was rushing me to make the Pact. Zatouji's eyes bulged like I tamed the Legendary Tiamat or something, because I am the first Devil in known history to tame an 8+ year Bakeneko!
He of course was thrilled to learn something new however. He looked high into the trees and saw the branch it had been sleeping on, and was amazed how I caught it in sheer dumb luck.
With my Gremory Contract Seal made, I placed the excited black kitten in the center and started the magic to bind us. When I heard what Zatouji said to Sairaorg, I almost messed up my Contract! He quietly said to my Cousin.
. .
"Prince Gremory must be the God of Neko, because he literally has pussy falling out of the sky for him!"
"Ha-ha, The Gremory blood attracts maidens, so you are probably right, hah-aha!"
I-I want to slap them both with a slap full of Destruction! But I say my chant to finish the spell. .
. (New Nickname added: God of Pussy, by Sairaorg)
"I Ray Gremory hereby command you to accept this bond of Master and Servant, and henceforth live for me. As your Master, I shall look after your well being and happiness, now accept my Familiar Pact!"
The majority of the words are not important with contract magic, but the Magic Circle has all of the real information. The words are just a component to transfer intent to the subject and offer them additions, like taking good care of it and treating it well.
With Bakeneko's acceptance, the crimson light enveloped it and. .
.
POOF! Using Transformation Magic. .
. There stood a short Loli maid with black cat ears and tail, with her hair a chestnut with light brown eyes.
She looks to be only our age of 8 or so, and her expression was adorable in her black and white maid outfit.
I think with my memories shared with my Familiar (superficial knowledge and what the master does not mind sharing), she must have chosen Irina's general looks, and the maid outfit must be from Grayfia.
She pounced in front of me, tugging on my shirt and asked clearly.
"Master, Master, please give me a name ~Nya?!"
A volley of cute arrows, struck everyone with her actions, and not being good at names I blurted. .
.
"Your name will be Neko!"
She jumped in place super excited, while everyone else deadpanned at my stupid name, Neko then said.
"Thank you Master, I am happy to finally have the name, Neko ~Nya!"
And that was how the five of us gained our lifelong Familiars. .
.
It has been close to a year since the incident in the Familiar Forest, and thankfully life has been peaceful ever since.
Thankfully I do not seem to have the Unlucky Protagonist trope most story characters seem to have. So what has changed in this time.
. .
Lots!
Another change to our Gremory home would be the new addition to our Gremory House, and that is the birth of Grayfia's child. So how cute was my nephew Millicas you ask? I don't have a clue, why?
Currently I am sitting with Grayfia and her newborn baby. I am holding this new Devil with care, thinking useless thoughts.
