The day after the tamer workshop.
I decided that today would be a day to just talk to Caucasus in telekinesis.

Caucasus is the first follower I've gotten since my reincarnation.
The most important thing right now is to deepen our understanding of each other and get to know each other.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

"Unrequited love......? Not at all.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
In particular, it's important to find out about any unrequited love for the place you came from and to be as close to it as possible.

Can you tell me more about that?

Yeah. 　I was hoping ...... to settle things with Hercules before I left the forest.

Hercules. That's very Caucasian of you.

I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

Incidentally, it is true that Hercules also lived in that forest.
However, the Caucasus is a bit stronger than the Hercules when it comes to evolution, so I took the Caucasus back with me.

I had fought with Hercules over the Millennium Tree in the past. In the end, we were evenly matched in that battle and drew. Since then, Hercules and I have been dwelling in the Millennium Tree in month-long shifts.

"I see.

So I visited the Millennium Tree when the Caucasus was inhabiting it.

"Well, I was half reconciled with Hercules. I don't know if I've settled with him, even if he continues to live there. But ...... I'm sure he wanted to settle it someday.

"Oh!

I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.



...... What?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure if this is a good time to promote awakening evolution?

I'm sure you'll understand. If you had access to a power significantly greater than that of Hercules, would you want to take it?

...... You've got to be kidding me. I don't want you to get your hopes up and be disappointed. Even Valius doesn't have that kind of power, does he?

I see.
"I don't want you to be disappointed.
In other words, this means ...... "If it's true, I want that power.

Well, it would be unreasonable to just say, "Trust me.
I'll try to persuade you while taking out the evolutionary material from the storage spell.

In my previous life, I always kept enough materials for the awakening and evolving of a demon in my storage spell to deal with emergencies.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it.

"...... Valius?　What is that?　You're not going to tell me it's a tool that gives you power, are you?

"No, of course not.

I laid out the evolutionary materials I'd taken out of the storage spell and turned back to the Caucasus.

"Listen to me carefully. I'm going to use these materials to evolve you into a sentient being.

"Awaken ...... evolution?

'Yes. After this, you'll be strong enough to defeat your former rival, Hercules. But in order to do that, you have to be united with me and believe in this magic.

"...... hmm.

You didn't think you were going to get something so delicious when I woke you up, did you?　...... Just one more time, just one more time. I want you to believe in miracles.

"...... Well, ......, if you insist, just once, okay?

"Thank you.

...... You're ready.

Now move over here.

I urged the Caucasian to come to the center of the six awakened evolutionary materials I had placed on the ground.

All that was left was to perform the ...... spell.

"Kirin, ...... bless thee with power!

I chanted.

Then the ......6 awakening and evolving materials emitted a dazzling light that covered the Caucasus with light.
The light changed into seven different colors in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. ...... When the light subsided, the materials on the ground that were supposed to be the awakening evolution materials disappeared.

It's a success!

I'm not sure what to make of it.

While suppressing my excitement, I asked Caucasus.

...... What, what, what kind of power is this overflowing?　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm too excited, but I'm sure it's because I'm flying around with my wings buzzing.

Good. It looks like you're satisfied.
Well, it's hard not to be satisfied when you've got a power that's so different from the rest of the world.

"Valerius, I'd like to test this power immediately. I'm going to go hunting for a bit, so look forward to it!

...... Oh.
The Caucasus guy just flew away.


I had decided that today would be the day to talk about it.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

There is also the option of chasing it with a muscle cloud. ...... Yeah, that's a bit silly.
I've been told to wait and see, so I will.



That evening.


The evening of that day.
I felt like asking what the Caucasus had been hunting.

Because during the day I had felt a tremendous power flowing into my body.

It was no doubt the growth value that Caucasus had gained from defeating the demons, and it was flowing into me, the master.

The fact that I felt that much growth meant that the Caucasus had hunted down a big fish.

After a while, I started to see the Caucasus coming back.
And when I saw what was stuck in the ...... corner, I could only be stunned.



...... Hey Caucasus.
What the hell are you doing hunting wyverns from the start?

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
