But God Forced Me to Reincarnate!

Rurune

When Dad and Mom arrived home, we quickly told them the happy event that happened before—the birth of Rurune!

No one was happier than Alt-nii. Rurune was born today—Day 27 Month 9 Year 977. Just a few days after Alt-nii's tenth birthday. He kept saying that it must be fated, or that Rurune was God's belated birthday gift for him!

And so, it became Dad and Mom's concern as to whether Rurune was indeed a [Familiar], [Summoned Beast], or just an ordinary beast.

But today ended without finding out anything about Rurune. Rurune slept in Alt-nii's room, obviously. Even if she didn't have any contract with Alt-nii, I still think that she was so attached to Alt-nii because she saw him first when she was born to this world.

After 3 days passed, one night, Mom returned home with... a vague result, at long last though!

A similar beast was recorded to be accompanying the most influential female ruler in Riviera, Her Highness Remillia. However, it was definitely not Queen Remillia's Familiar.

"Still, it can't eliminate the possibility that she might be a beast that can form contracts as [Familiar]," Mom added.

Then, adding the fact that such beasts were not recorded that often, Mom and Dad hypothesized that Rurune was an extremely rare kind of a beast.

"What about the proposed connection to [The Greatest Magician]?" I asked after remembering the fact that the egg was entrusted to Alt-nii after it was found in the First Queen's Tomb. Since Alt-nii possessed [Void] magic just like [The Greatest Magician] aka our [First Queen], the egg might react to Alt-nii's magic aura.

"Well, that's...," Mom was unsure.

"Could Rurune be related to the first queen's Familiar?" I asked again.

"No... I'm not sure of it. The Greatest Magician's Familiar was one of a kind, that we considered it as a legend now. Based on the vague descriptions of it, Rurune didn't seem to be related to her Familiar...," Mom shook her head, but she looked to be quite unsure, too.

"Hmmm... So, Rurune is a total mystery?" Alt-nii asked.

"Yes... unfortunately, we'll have to learn about her as time goes by," Mom concluded.

"Awww... I wish Rurune is a Familiar that I can form a contract with!" Alt-nii said.

"Ruuu?" Rurune tilted her head a bit—HOW CUTE!

"Haha, be patient, Alt. A man has to learn to be patient," Dad tried to cheer Alt-nii up.

"Boo... Okay...," Alt-nii was still sulky.

"But giving her a name didn't form a contract?" Mom asked again.

Oh... right!

There are various ways in forming contracts with [Familiar]. It can be formed after the master gives a name to it, or a blood contract, etc... And I heard there were two different kind of contracts: [Equal Partner Contract] and [Master-Servant Contract].

In case of [Master-Servant Contract], as the name implies, the servant has to obey their master's orders, and the master can draw out the servant's power at any time. Meanwhile, [Equal Partner Contract] will require both sides' consent.

"No... nothing happened," Alt-nii shook his head dejectedly.

"Seems like giving Rurune a name isn't the way to form a contract with her, if she is indeed a Familiar...," Mom concluded.

"T-then, should I try the blood contract?!" Alt-nii excitedly stood up.

"Blood contract is done either by giving her your blood or her giving you her blood...," Mom muttered, "in my case with Fenix, I submitted my blood to her, at a special part of her body that she usually keeps concealed..."
