184 182 Lets sort it out. (1/2)
After the rank-up process, we were coming back to the inn.
'You've finally ranked up!
”Mmm.”
”Celebration. All you can eat curry today! Besides, toppings are as good as you like!
”Mm-hmm! Give me a hamburger curry with hot balls. Super hot.”
If Fran told me to serve it, it would be like a mega challenge menu. Well, Fran's happy, okay?
”Don't push it.”
”Tamabu”
”So, it's a promised super spicy curry for Ursi.”
”On on.”
In the original spicy curry, I will serve a super spicy curry with even more spicy spices to Ursi. The crimson curry that boils gutsy is like blood pond hell, but Ursi was drooling and staring at the curry.
No, even if I had a body, I don't want that one. I don't even want Fran.
I was sorting out what I'd figured out before, while I served the flannels that lightly flattened the curry some post-meal ice cream. Yeah, I'll just leave it at that to say I might have been made by a divine blacksmith. It has nothing to do with Fran's evolution.
It started 500 years ago. At that time, the Black Cats were wielding power as the Ten Initials, the Beast King, or a hierarchy of power close to it.
But he commits some great sin and is punished with God's wrath. Because of this, we were shackled in some way by evolution, and for the next 500 years, no one could evolve.
Also, the Golden Lion - or Red Cat - drives down the Black Cat tribe that has lost power, and they get the seat of the Beast King. Apparently, the Red Cats used their subordinate Blue Cat tribe to persecute the Black Cat tribe and sharpen their power. And then I burned a book or something that says something about evolution, and it looks like I plotted to prevent the Black Cats from evolving again.
The Blue Cat tribe follows the Red Cat tribe to a large extent, probably because they are the Ten Initials over there and treat them with character.
And now the fact that the Black Cats could have evolved has been forgotten. Incineration books by the Beast Royal Family and God's memory manipulation would be the major reasons. How many other than Lumina remember.
But now, 53 years ago, Chiara, a black cat girl, emerges who approaches the mystery of evolution greatly.
Apparently she came into contact with Lumina and found out about the conditions of evolution for some reason. And he asks Diaz and the others to help him evolve, but suddenly disappears before giving a detailed explanation.
Diaz, Orrell and Lumina, who were close to Chiara, searched for her whereabouts and gathered all sorts of information. As a result, I presume that the present Beast Royal Family and its subordinate Blue Cat tribes are involved in her disappearance. Diaz and the others seem convinced, but they don't seem to have any proof.
Well, if the Beast Royal is still afraid that the Black Cats will evolve, it's not impossible. I wonder what Diaz and his high hostility toward the Beast King is also because he believes it involves Chiara's disappearance.
In the end, Diaz and the others could not grasp Chiara's whereabouts. And he regretted that and secretly resolved to protect the second Black Cat clan that would show up one day this time.
I don't know the details, but Lumina builds up her magic over the years to help her evolve, and Diaz and Orrell protect Lumina in various ways so that she won't be destroyed by adventurers. Diaz is going to be an Alliance Master, so that's pretty obsessive.
So, that's where Fran showed up. Evolution Current, Black Cat Girl. Where we don't know, it looks like the three of us turned our hands around a lot. Orrell worked hard to meet Lumina, and Diaz helped him rank up and more. Because if you become a Rank C Adventurer, you can protect it with the power of the Adventurer Alliance.
And Lumina seems to have tried to do something to help Fran evolve. I don't know what that is.
More wicked people in the dungeon, trying to chase Fran back for some reason? And then when you see where my attitude changed knowing I could absorb skills from demon stones, does evolution require some kind of skill? Could it have been a skill you could get from an evil man?
Well, you don't have much information, and how much I've thought about it, you don't leave the spectrum of speculation. The martial arts tournament is close now, and do I have to wait while I train? When it comes to what you can do - strengthen your skills.
”Fran, have you decided on the use of the self-evolution point I told you to think about before?
”Mmm.”
I was actually going to ask you last night, but there was a lot going on.
In my prediction, the most likely would be sword sainthood, sword sainthood. It has the highest usage rate and can also lead to an increase in local power.
Perhaps sign perception at the next point. It's LvMax soon enough, and I know it can be used to detect an opponent's attack during a fight. Other leading candidates would be flame magic, thunderbolt magic, and attribute swords.
That's what I thought...
”Reinforce what?
”I like blacksmiths”
I totally missed my expectations. But why blacksmiths? You've raised your voice so unexpectedly.
”Huh? Blacksmith?
”Mmm.”
”Why? You've never been interested in a blacksmith before, have you? It's just before the martial arts tournament, and it doesn't have to be combat skills?
”Good.”
Fran's will seemed stiff. But blacksmith, huh?
”It's important to take care of your master”
”So it's a blacksmith? It's awesome, but you can choose the skills that Fran wants to level up, right?
”I like blacksmiths”
So I assigned a self-evolution point to the blacksmith. When I asked him how far he was going to put it up, he said he wanted to LvMax the blacksmith, and I just let him kanst it.
”Forge has reached LvMax. Forge Magic: LV1 will be added to your skills”
I learned some blacksmith magic. Now I might be able to take care of myself, and it's not too bad, but I guess I'm not convinced.
