Ah, yes.

What's the matter, Dad?

I suddenly noticed it while wearing a Peony (provisional) pouch.

Speaking of which, you haven't named her yet.

What's your name...?

"Oh, I'm going to live with you now, so it's inconvenient if you don't have a name, right?"Is there any hope? "

Well, whatever name your father gives you is fine.

Really? Then it's a tree, Keibo...

”Oh, that's no good. It feels very dangerous.”

I see... I don't think so.

Peony... it's not tasty for boulders, is it?You might get your memories back in your dumb beat, and this is a rejection.

After all, it's like the color of your old companions, but if it's "Midori", you'll be wearing it with Goshogawara-san's wife...

"Well then, how about [[Sweet]]?"It means bright green, but I think it's perfect for you as you grow up. "

'Sweetie, is that right? Yeah, that's good.I'll start today with a watermelon. "

Looks like you were happy.

Therefore, the new name of Peony (provisional) was decided to be Sweet.

It's a shame we can't add new party members because they're already filled, but look forward to growing in the future.

Sweetheart is basically friendly and quickly gets along with everyone but Liber.

The best of them were Kiki and Shiro.

When I was caught by Shiro's legs and flying in the air, or when I was running on the ground on Kiki's back, I was really enjoying myself and I was healed.

Also, Mr. Liber always throws a stone when he meets, so he seems to try to stay away from it as much as possible.... pathetic.

While playing ball with Kiki and the others in the sunlight, the swing suddenly trembled.

Oh, I just acquired the skills of 'photosynthesis' and 'leaf flying'.

"Oh, I see. You're growing really fast..."

Even though it was only one day old, Swe had acquired three skills: "anthropomorphism", "photosynthesis", and "leaf flying".

You don't have to level up or fight monsters to get a skill.

Probably in the case of Sweetheart, he [remembers] the skills he had when he was a Peony as he grew up.

It looks like you've acquired at least a few hundred skills, and it's not strange that some of them can be acquired under relatively loose conditions.

Incidentally, "Photosynthesis" is a skill that increases the recovery effect of the body and HP and MP during the day, and "Leaf Skipping" is a skill that skips one's leaves like a shuriken.

I've seen both of these skills before when I was a Peony.

"It was no longer a map weapon level until [Flying Leaves]..."

Well, like that, Sweet Sweet Sweet continues to grow steadily.

"When it comes to growth, you said that it's time for the Nijo to evolve..."

Looking for signs, Nijo, Shimizu Chief, Fujita-san, Towada-san of the Self-Defense Forces, and Goshogawara-san sign up at the training ground.... ah, it exploded.

I'd like to check with Mr. Liber about the upcoming training, so let's go for a while.

Oh, I'm coming too.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Let's go together

Three monsters clinging to each other.

... you guys, walk on your own.

But lately, I'm lonely that there are no sticking members.

The two cats are still with the sea king today.

I want you to come home early and let me pounipuni.

― ― At the center of the crater, multiple men and women were falling down like battered rags.

Ah, Kazuto. You're here.

"... you look terrible as ever."

"You have to be tough to train."Well, thanks to that, everyone went up to the LV30. "

"Oh, that's amazing."

Get close to the pair lying on the ground and give them a recovery pill (potions).

"... senpai? Why are you here...? Hallucinations?"

"It's not a hallucination. Here, drink properly."

"Ng... uhe, ehehe... senpai is giving me a drink.What is this, heaven...? "

"I don't know... hey, get your hands off me--hmm, let go of me."

I peeled off the Nijo, which I didn't want to take my hands off, and handed out the healing potion to the Shimizu chiefs.

When we checked everyone's consciousness clearly, it seemed like Liber had gone up to the LV30.

"Evolution...? When I was listening to you guys, I didn't think I had anything to do with it..."

“But now we can protect more people.And I can't show you that we're adults and we're protected forever. "

"Hmm, I wonder which one is better."I'll ask my wife and daughter... "

Fujita-san, Towada-san, and Goshogawara-san seem to have no resistance to evolution.

"This is really going to be okay, right?"It doesn't mean you're no longer human, does it? "

"Chief, when you say that, it's rude to Senior Kazuto." It's okay. "

On the other hand, Chief Shimizu was still worried about evolution.

Fujita-san and the others are asking for their opinions while watching their evolution over and over.

"Until now, the candidates for evolution have been recorded on paper, so please refer to them."Please tell me as soon as you have a destination that is not on the list.I'll check it out with me and Kazuto. "

"Oh, if there's anything that bothers you, just ask me."

"Ah, well then, senpai." Today's dinner-- "

"Reject questions unrelated to evolution"

”... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The evolutionary candidate in Article 2 seemed to be almost the same as the candidate in us, and there were no new races.

After various discussions, the evolution of each one was decided.

Nijo Kase "Newcomer (Arabit)"

Shimizu Chief "Cat Pull"

Fujita-san "Superior (High Human)"

Towada-san "Kuromori Man (Dark Elf)"

Goshogawara-san "Iwakitori (dwarf)"

It was surprising that there was the same [newcomer] as me before the evolution of Article 2.

Everyone else seemed to have evolved to suit their style of combat.

I was surprised to hear that Goshogawara-san would evolve into the "Iwabori Man (Dwarf)", but it's true that this man's log is a weapon...When it comes to the perfect fit, it's perfect.I was concerned about the characteristic of the Iwabori people, "the back length will be small", but it seems that it will be "a little taller", according to Liber.It seems that Ossan is originally in the shape of an Iwabori man (dwarf)... Isn't it terrible?

It was surprising that the chief of Shimizu chose Cat Man (Cat Pie-Pull), but it seemed to go well with the profession's "Spearman", and he chose this one over his superiors.

Cat-ear boss... yes, I think so."But it's really cute, but I'm a bachelor alacer..."It seems that he is appealing to Fujita-san, but he hasn't noticed it at all. Please do your best.

"Please wait, senpai."I'll be sure to catch up with you and your child as you evolve and grow stronger. "

"Oh, good luck."

You mean Ichinose-san?

In order to evolve, Nijo and the others went back to their rooms.

After seeing it, Mr. Liber opens his mouth.

By the way, it looks like the nuts haven't evolved yet, but what's the matter?

"I have an idea and I'm putting it on hold."

“Pending? Didn't you tell us where each evolved?"Half Goddess" is the best evolutionary destination among them.It's not bad for the eternal man or the advanced machine man, but it's one step worse than the half goddess. "

No, actually--

I will tell Mr. Liber what I discussed with Mr. Ichinose yesterday.

After listening, Mr. Libel gave a surprised expression.

"Are you crazy?... I'll think of something ridiculous."Whatever kind of brain you're having, such an outrageous idea comes to mind..... "

"The idea is Mr. Ichinose." Honestly, I was surprised when I first heard it. ”

However, in a sense, it was an idea that could be said to be like Ichinose-san.

Mr. Liber had a half-dazzled expression on his face.

"Well, if it succeeds, it could be as much a 'trump card' as that god tree in the battle against the advance party..."I disagree with you. The risk of failure is too high. "

"I said the same thing..."Ichinose-san, when this happens, you become stubbornly stubborn... "

However, I know what Ichinose-san said.

― ― With this, I won't be able to keep up with Mr. KuDou for long.

That's what Ichinose-san said.

I want to be on an equal footing with us.I don't want to be untied.

Honestly, I've never thought of Ichinose-san as a fighter.

Even so, Ichinose-san himself was not convinced.

"... so I decided to trust Ichinose-san"

"If you say that, I won't say anything." Do as you please. "

Mr. Liber understood, but he didn't seem to be convinced.

After that, confirm the upcoming training while having a chat.

In the middle of the conversation, Mr. Liber was throwing stones at him several times in an attempt to get close to Sweet.... Pathetic.

After leaving Liber, I went to Nishino-kun and Igarashi-san.

It seems that student members such as Shibata-kun will soon be able to evolve.

Among them, Nishino-kun and Igarashi-san were followed by Ono-kun, who had already evolved.

That said, in his case, he's a monster, not a person, so it's different from normal evolution.

His evolved race is the 'Lesser Vampire'.

Compared to when I was a High (High) Corpse (Ghoul), my stats were enhanced and I was able to use some of my Race-specific abilities.

"It was nice to have a skill that matched the [jealousy] I had originally."N-No, I can beat any opponent easily right now...... fufufu "

Eh, really? Well then, would you like to try it with me?

A few minutes later, he was beaten up by Roppongi.

... yes, the opponent is bad. But chronicity is not good.Let's be careful not to get in the mood.

Igarashi-san also taught me that her younger brother has evolved.

It seems that her younger sister evolved into a [Forest Man (Elf)] and her younger brother into a [Kuromori Man (Dark Elf)].

It was the main magic battle style, and it would be the perfect evolution for the two of them.

"It's just that recently, more and more pranks are being polished..."I don't know who you really resemble. "

Having said that, Igarashi sighed deeply.

Those twins, they haven't had a chance to see each other lately, but they seem to be getting around them as usual.

(...... the members who were the main ones have almost evolved, and their battle strength is well on its way)

Reports from the exploration team indicate that there are a few talented people from other towns.

Especially since it is a little far away, but the person heading from Tokyo has quite strong inherent skills and professions, it seems that this can be expected.

"... four months until the advance party arrives..."

How much more can we prepare for the showdown?

I'm curious about what is happening on the other side, but I can't help but check this.

Increase your power as much as you can in the time remaining.

That's all we can do.
