Ryoma Takebayashi/Familiars

Overview
Familiars are monsters their master has bound after being tamed.

Ryoma takes the monster affinity exam in Ch 139 and finds out that he has an affinity for monsters that flock together (like some birds), or gather in groups (like slimes or horses). The taming condition could also be 'fecundity', which has something to do with the reproductive potential of the monsters. The number of monsters with high fecundity would be lower than those that 'flock together', so we will probably learn more about his taming conditions after he contracts more monsters.

 * Because these slimes can eat garbage, Ryoma proposes a plan to start a garbage disposal system centered around employing scavenger slimes and a few monster tamers to handle all of the excess garbage produced by the city of Gimul.
 * Ryoma proposes selling the fertilizer produced by the scavenger slimes, as it is a very good substitute for magic fertilizers, would be much less expensive to produce, and could be used in producing better crops more quickly.
