The next in the line was Ganjo, who had suddenly turned into an even greater and imposing Giant. He was now over five meters tall and his body was completely covered in sharp rock-like scales, resembling giant spikes. On his shoulders, he had amazing large spikes made of rocks and his tail had also increased in size, covered in rock scales, and with a sharp end, it was a lethal weapon.
His head had turned more dragon-like as it was more compact than extended like the alligator he used to be. He gained two new pairs of eyes that shined in bright yellow. His arms were muscular and incredibly sturdy as well.
Ganjo received the blessing of the [Demi-God of Rock Beasts], it came with a new evolution named [Mountain Giant Lizard Emperor]. Ganjo's entire body seemed like a mountain and his steps were heavy and thunderous. He became a powerful titan that can possibly shape the world, as his mastery over Earth manipulation increased alongside his herculean strength.

There wasn't much I could gift to this guy now, but he was just happy to be praised, as he once promised to be my shield, and here he is now, being a complete behemoth. I suppose he did keep his promise, although I don't really need a shield… But he's a good shield for the Kingdom and his comrades.
And last but not least is Kaguya, the beautiful Dark Squirrel Queen, after evolving for a second time she became a humanoid Squirrel Demi-Human while also obtaining the blessing of the [Goddess of the Sun]. She did not gain a new blessing like the others but the one she already had was enough to make her third evolution even better.
From Sacred Flame Squirrel Empress, she evolved into a Nine-Tailed Spiritual Flame Squirrel Empress. Similar to Fox Demi-Humans, who can reach up to nine tails while evolving, Kaguya did the same but as a Squirrel.
Her hair turned deep white and reached her hips, as her features became even more refined, resembling a beautiful Japanese princess. Her eyes turned deep crimson as she had nine giant and fluffy squirrel tails on her back. On the top of her head, she remained the small squirrel ears that were now pale white as well. She was wearing several golden ornaments in her head, which made a beautiful ponytail alongside this, she had a majestic and long red and white kimono that had very long sleeves, covering her hands completely.
Long gone are the times where she was a simple monster as, after just two evolutions, she became one of the most beautiful demi-humans in my Kingdom alongside having immense magical prowess. She had also changed her demeanor to that of an actual princess.
In her hands, she had her Mystical Orb that she always carries, however this time it seemed different as it evolved with her. It now had a pale azure color and a small blue flame inside, just by carrying this orb, Kaguya's stats would increase even more. The best thing is that it became soul bounded to her and even if it was destroyed, with some time her soul would completely regenerate a new Orb.

After seeing her beauty, I had the sudden intent of taking her as my wife, as she would most likely bear an incredibly strong child…
Wait, since when did I became so obsessed with making offspring to the point that I value a potential concubine by how strong my child will be? I don't want to make excuses, but it's most likely my Sin… As it is related to Lust, Desire, Sexual Intercourse, Domination, and Reproduction…
After inspecting her relationship with the other Squirrel Kings, I discovered that those Kings already have their own concubines and Kaguya was left out. She doesn't have any relationships either and seems a bit asocial with her group outside of training, she is quite lonely…
As I had already set my eyes on her, I quickly began to interact with her more often, she was quite surprised that I talked with her for so long outside of inspecting or trying her powers.
”What's wrong?”
”Ah! Its nothing… It's just that I was very surprised by Master's sudden attention towards myself. Is it because of my new strength? I shall use it to serve you well, Master”
”Hm? Although I am surprised about your strength, I just wanted to interact with you a little bit more, I see that you barely talk with others. Why is it?”
”Oh… That… Well… It's just that… I… I don't know… It's just… It does not come to my mind to talk with others, and I sometimes enjoy loneliness, with the flame spirits…”
I saw that Kaguya was just trying to make excuses while blushing and looking around the floor. The meeting with my servants was already over and we were the only two in my throne room. I suppose me sitting in my throne while looking over her pressured her into thinking that I was interrogating her because of her asocial behaviors.
I quickly got outside of my throne as I casually walked near her, I opened my Item Box and took a small wooden table, two comfy cushions, a teapot, two small cups, and some herbs.
As Kaguya looked at me with surprise, I silently prepared the tea, using [Water Creation], I generated water and filled the teapot, added the herbs, and using [Heat Manipulation] I slowly warmed the water as the aromatic herbs dissolved their fragrances and flavors in the water.
Kaguya kept looking at me without knowing what to say as I served tea in both of the cups and added a spoon of honey.
”Why are you not sitting? Let's relax with some tea”
”A-Ah! Y-Yes… I'm sorry”
Kaguya slowly sat down in the cushion I left for him as she slowly drank the tea, I served for her. The delicious flavors and the aromatic fragrance quickly made her jump in surprise, it was the best tea she has probably drunk in her life.
”Do you like it? It's a brand of tea imported from the Azuma Empire, I got it from Athetosea, they do some trades through the year, this tea is included. It is quite expensive as it's a combination of various herbs that need to be carefully dried”
”O-Oh… Yeah, it's very good… Thanks for sharing it with me, Master”
As I drank some tea, I admired Kaguya's flawless and beautiful face, she was really like a Japanese princess by now, I can't believe she was just tiny dark squirrel some days ago. It is as funny as me being a caterpillar in the past.
”Kaguya, are you feeling more relaxed? I've noticed that you're always quite nervous”
”I-I… I'm a little bit more relaxed… This tea is very good”
I nodded as I opened my Item Box once again, delivering a small package of snacks, these were dried fruits and seeds. There were also acorns, which Squirrels love. There were salted acorns, caramel covered ones, and flavored acorns.
As she saw the delicious dry snacks, Kaguya began to drool while containing her desire to gulp them in her pouch cheeks.
”You're really containing yourself… But feel free to eat, I bought them for you after all”
”M-Master…! T-Thanks!”
Kaguya quickly began to snack in the delicious seeds and fruits as her cheeks suddenly bulged.
”Chomp, chomp… Hmm~! Sho guud!”
”I'm glad you like them”
I sipped in my tea as I ate some of the delicious snacks with her. She wasn't much of a talker but just spending time like this with her made Kaguya slowly open up to me. Her Will-o-Wisp was being very passive while dangling around happily, it seems that they show her emotions.
Suddenly, Kaguya stopped as she noticed that I was glancing at her with a serene smile, she quickly realized how embarrassing she looked, with her cheek pouches filled with seeds. Kaguya suddenly gulped all the seeds with a little bit of tea.
”M-Master… The snacks and the tea are pretty good, thanks for being nice to me. I don't deserve such kindness”
”You don't? Why? You are a hard worker and cute”
”Aaah! C-Cute? Master called me cute… Chuu…”
”Ohh, so you do those sounds sometimes?”
I approached Kaguya from the side of the table to take a look at her more closely.
