"W-Well, what do I do now..." I sighed.
Maybe I should apologize to the giant fish? Well, that's a given.
"Anyways, I'm so-"
"Please don't eat me! I-I'll become your familiar even, but don't eat me! I have much to live!" He continued crying so much it was getting a bit annoying.
"I-I don't intend to-"
"You don't intend to make me your familiar?! But I am so strong!" He continued crying. "A-Am I destined to die like this?! I don't want to become someone's else dinner!"
"Lake King please listen." Titania sighed. "We-"
"UWAAAAAHAHAHA! PLEASEEE! PLEASEEEE SPARE MEEEEEEE! I'll become your familiar! You, yes, please just make your familiar! It is better than dinner!" He insisted.
"You don't really need to-"
"I don't need to become your familiar?!" He cried. "But that's what I want!"
Titania sighed as she gave me a look.
"He seems adamant..." She sighed.
"I guess I'll have to make him my familiar..." I sighed. "Fine, I was planning to do that anyways. King of the Lake, I accept!"
"Y-You do?! Really?!" He asked again.
"Yes..." I facepalmed.
"Yaaay! I get to live another day, mama!" He cried, moving around happily.
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, a ray of light emerged from his body and reached mine, a connection was swiftly formed, as he ended being... tamed, he became a Tamed Monster willingly.

Woah, his stats were high! I guess this is what a Level 100 Monster stats look like? No, I think it has also to do with him being a King of the Spirit Lake, most likely. He even has a Title, this is the first time I see a monster with an actual title as well!
"Hahh... I-I need water..." He began gasping tiredly.
"Right! Water Spirit Call!" I said, suddenly summoning several water spirits that fused into a wave of pure water.
SPLAAAASH!
The giant koi was quickly dragged back into the lake.
"Phew! Now this is refreshing!" He sighed in relief, swimming around. "I was so scared~ Ah, well, now I guess it is a good time to introduce ourselves, master! I am the King of the Spirit Lake! Who might you be?"
"Me? Well I am an Yggdryad, that huge tree over there is part of my body..." I said. "I am honestly surprised you don't know... A lot has happened here, and you literally live in the forest! Did you not even see what happened when everything grew corrupted with miasma?"
"I-I did learn about it after a while... But I was actually sleeping while all of that happened, hahah!" He laughed. "I did felt something scratching my scales while I slept below the mud of the lake, but when I woke up, there was no longer any scratchy feeling, and everything looked alright!"
"I can't believe he slept through the whole ordeal!" Titania was shocked. "You're a really lazy fish! Your grandfather would be ashamed of you!"
"Q-Queen of the Fairies, please don't be so rude with me!" Goldie started to cry again. "I-I am just not as strong as grandfather and... Well, I was a bit scared of facing problems..."
"You have yet to even learn the ability to swim in midair like your ancestors! You're really lazy! If you're going to live in our territory, you'll better start working hard." Titania started reprimanding him more and more.
"Y-Yes! I will! P-Please don't scream at me like that!" Goldie started crying. "M-Master please calm her down!"
"T-Titania, don't be so rough on him, he seems to be still a rather young fish." I sighed.
"Yeah, I am young!" Goldie cried. "Young and inexperienced!"
"Young? He must already be over three hundred years old..." Titania sighed. "He's more than old enough!"
"But the lake is so small, how can I even grow strong in here?!" He complained.
"Then you swim outside of it! That is the whole point of swimming in the skies like your ancestors once did!" Titania continued.
"I-I've tried before but it is impossible! I can't!" Goldie continued to banter. "I-I am not good enough!"
"Ugh! Would you two just stop, please?!" I asked angrily. "Enough banter! Alright? Enough complaining, and enough asking for things! We'll slowly resolve things by ourselves. This was supposed to be a relaxing day, let's not get stressed, Titania. I'll take care of him now that he's my familiar."
"Right..." Titania sighed. "S-Sorry about that, I just got really angry... out of nowhere. How abot we go back to the castle for now?"
"Yeah, let's go make some fish!" Florie said.
"Hmm, fried fish is nice." Nieve nodded.
"I'm up for anything!" Lily added, bringing a huge sack with jewels.
"Alright then, let's get going!" I nodded.
"Have a nice day, master~!" Goldie said while waving his fins, thinking he'll get to relax.
"Silver." I said. "Teach him how to fly in midair, you got the same skill, right?"
"ROAR!" The silver-scaled dragoness nodded.
"Then I'll leave it up to you." I smiled.
Silver slowly approached Goldie and started "teaching" him. His screams of horror could be heard from afar, but I decided to... simply ignore him for now.
