"If you liked the magic tricks then how about coming with me?" I asked it after it stopped laughing getting its attention again.
This Danger Beast is like a businessman if I don't have anything interesting then we don't have a deal, so I gave a proposal I think it would like.
"Where I live there's a lot of bad humans that you can mess with though you can't just run off without my permission whether you like, I will make sure to give you some free time to do as you want." I came up with my own conditions while trying to get it to follow me, and it seemed like it almost worked by the little glow in its red eyes.
"Gegege!" It said something while waving its claw, almost saying "proceed I'm listening" like a king to his retainer, and I'm the retainer here.
I pressed my temples a little trying not worked up by the Shadow Beast's play and thinking that this may be a mistake taming it.
'Whatever, we are already here, so let's not waste any effort.' I reassured myself while thinking about more reasons it should join me.
"In the future, there may be a big war happening and I will be part of it, so of course you will too but in the shadows so how about it?" I asked the Shadow Beast further baiting it.
"Gegege?" But it tilted its scary head a little to the side, indicating it doesn't understand what I said, so after guessing what it didn't understand a sudden realization came.
"You don't know what war is?" I asked it to confirm, and it instantly nodded indicating that it doesn't.
"It's when a lot of people start fighting and killing each other and when I say a lot, I mean millions of people will fight where I live with any means necessary to win," I explained shortly to the Shadow Beast.
"Gegege" After laughing creepily, it laid on all four before sinking into the ground and merged with my shadow.
"Does this mean it agreed and submitted to me?"
A burning sensation came about on my back before a message came up in my subconscious indicating a skill being unlocked.
[Taming Lvl 1, (Can tame class 4-1 Danger Beasts)]
[Gigigi, how anti-climatic, and here I thought we would have to fight or something to make it submit, well this is amusing in itself, gigigi]
My subconscious laughed at me because I baited it with magic tricks and a deal, and when I think it over its kind of embarrassing.
"Then how about I give you a name now that we are partners?" I asked, ignoring my subconscious and looked at my shadow before 6 red eyes got visible indicating it's listening.
"How about Shadō? It means shadow!" I asked the red eyes if it likes the name.
"Gegege" It laughed eerie meaning it likes it.
'Now that I think about it, I can now understand Shadō better, it may be because I feel some sort of connection with it now after getting [Taming Lvl 1] ' I thought to myself.
"I just remembered something important, what do you actually eat Shadō?" I asked a question I nearly forgot all about.
"Gegege," It said it feeds on negative emotions it can suck out from the shadow of the target.
"So are you eating in my shadow?" I asked Shadō with furrowed eyebrows.
"Gegege" Apparently I smell bad, so it isn't eating anything from me.
"Well if you are looking for a place with a lot of negative emotions, The Capital may be the best place for you currently to eat until you get fat!" I told Shadō, because of all the dissatisfaction the citizens have against the Empire, and how it's treating them should be more than enough to feet him their negative emotions.
"Gegege?" Shado asked when we will leave for the place I mentioned.
"We will leave tomorrow morning, it's not a good idea to travel when it's dark!" I replied to its question before returning to my camp.
-----------------
The next day when I returned home, I got my mother's demonic reprimanding with her Zen bloodline activated as red and black eyes are piercing me for staying out the whole night, and as usual my father dared not intervene.
"So where have you been this time young man? Out making friends again?" Mother asked sarcastically while tapping her foot on the floor waiting for answers.
"Actually yea, I got a new friend," I replied a little embarrassed with a finger on my nose.
"So where is this friend of yours, and what is he or she doing in the middle of the night?" She asked again clearly not believing me.
After thinking about if I should show them Shadō for a few seconds, while mother kept looking at me thinking hard about something.
When she was about to ask what I'm thinking so hard about, I said to the maids in the room.
"Can you leave? I want to speak to my parents in private," and they looked at my father for confirmation, and he just nodded so they left.
I decided to show them Shadō because it's more beneficial than disadvantageous to reveal him. If I keep him a secret, I can't use him as a messenger in emergencies, and they won't tell anyone about his existence so it's fine.
"Shadō come out," I said to my shadow, and creepy laughter resounded shortly after scaring my parents.
"Gegege," Shadō said while slowly rising from my shadow before standing on his hind legs like a human.
My mother and father immediately activated their Kagune ready to fight, but I stopped them.
"Wait don't attack, this is my new friend, his name is Shadō and he's a Shadow Beast," I quickly explained.
I proceeded to tell them that I met him by chance while training and that I can't tame Danger Beasts.
The Oarburgh clan is supposed to be the only clan being able to tame Danger Beasts, so to not let them belive I have any interactions with them I lied a little.
