Iâm currently in the forest, after talking to uncle, I tried to calm him down and said I would help him. Uncle was happy, even he cried in front of me, I can only sympathize with him. The uncleâs name is Tommie Aoron, he said his wife has shoulder-length black hair, about the same height as me, but Iâm not sure, is his wife still alive? If she was still alive, her current condition would be terrible.
âNo, itâs not good to think bad, I just hope that uncleâs wife is still alive.â
âMaster, are you thinking about uncleâs wife?â Woli asked curiously.
âYeah, Iâm not sure if sheâs still alive, but we can only do what we can,â I said sullenly.
âYou are very kind, Master,â Woli said.
âThatâs right Lute is very kind,â Dina also confirmed it.
âHaha.. you make me embarrassed,â
âDo you have any shame Master? I canât believe it at all,â Woli smirked.
âWhat are you saying, of course, I have it,â I said with a twitching face.
As I was walking around the forest and chatting with them, I suddenly heard the sound of the bushes. I immediately alerted and saw what it was, something small white came out of it and hit me straight away, it took me by surprise and I fell down because of it.
âOuch, whatâs that?â
Seeing what thing hit me earlier, it turned out to be a horned lizard and had a mane, there was no mistaking it was Yua.
âWait, Yua? How did you get here?â I was surprised to see her.
âChaChaa~â Yua stroked my face.
âHahaha⦠did you miss me so much that you went looking for me?â I smiled and hugged her.
âChaChaa!!â
âWhat is this Lute?â Dina asked curiously.
âHer name is Yua, she is Qilin, she will grow up later and have a human body like us, I want you to have a good relationship with her.â
âHmm? This beast can have a body like ours? There are many great things in this world,â Dina said curiously, of course, she is curious, she also doesnât know the world well, she needs to learn more.
âWait, there seems to be a shift in your body.â
I raised Yua and saw the shift in her body. Yuaâs body was different from before, her scales that used to be all red were now as white as snow. But the tip of the tail, legs, arms, and horns are still red, I remember this should be true the color of Yuaâs body. It seems that after eating a lot of Crystal Cores, her body started to change, she could even find me when she was far enough away from me.
âWow, Yua you look great now, can you turn big? I want to see it,â I said with a happy expression.
âChaCha~~â
Yua jumped from me, suddenly her body enlarged. The lizard that looked cute before was no longer there, in front of me now was a powerful looking creature two meters tall. The bright red horns looked domineering, white scales were like that of a sacred beast, she had a charming air about her even though her body looked like that of a beast. I was blown away by all of this.
âYua you look great!!â
âRoar~~â
Yuaâs voice also changes when sheâs in this state, I feel like seeing her status now, how strong she is right now.
âââââââââ
Name: [Yua Yamabuki]
Race: [Qilin]
Gender: [Female]
Age: [100 Years](Occurs due to cancellation of hatching time, she should have hatched 100 years ago)
Innate Skills: [Purgatory Judgment]
Skills: [Yamabuki Armor], [Fire Chakram], [Inferno Geyser]
Love Meter: 80% [Even though she is 100 years old, she is still a child, she likes you easily]
Rank: [D]
âââââââââ-
I was dumbfounded, she became strong quickly, this is not fair at all. I was envious that she could become strong just by eating the Crystal Core, but with Yuaâs addition, our combat power increased again. Although I was envious of the speed at which she progressed, I was also pleased with the increase in Yuaâs strength.
And for her 100 years old, of course, I already know, actually, I also know the reason why Yua needed to be sent here. As usual, if your family is a noble family, plus a family like the Qilin, there must always be enemies, and sibling battles, to take over position the family head. I donât understand whatâs good about being the head of the family? It will only make you dizzy with a lot of work, I prefer to live freely without anyone restraining me.
Yua returned to being small and sat on my shoulder, I stroked her neck which made her happy. I kept watch again around the forest, this time with Yua addition on my shoulders.
*Clang, Clang, Clang*
Not long after that, suddenly there was the sound of a bell, which is usually used to gather all the villagers in the meeting area. I became curious and followed other villagers.
When I got there, I saw Shelly who was already nearby. I walked over to her, asking what happened.
âShelly, what happened?â I asked her.
âLute?, previously I discussed with village head about the problem we are facing, after hearing this, village head had another suggestion, he said he would evacuate all villagers to the underground storage room, which was near his house. This storage room is also not far from our house,â Shelly explained the situation to me.
âI see, this sounds better, if we want to protect all villagers in one placeâ I nodded.
âUm, I thought so too,â Shelly smiled.
After everyone gathered here, the village head spoke loudly. The village head was a dog Beastman, he looked like a healthy middle-aged man.
âEveryone, we have bad news, the kidnapping incident that has been happening in this village so far, it is known who did it. They are an organization that conducts research here and kidnaps people to serve as objects for their research.â
âW-what?â
âHow dare they do this,â
âWe also have to avenge their actions, I canât accept it,â
â¦..
A commotion sounded from the crowd, but the village head raised his hand to calm them down.
âIf I can, I also want to fight back, itâs just that I got news from Shellyâs Party, this group is bringing troops, to attack this village, we donât have time to ask for help to the city, because help will come too late. but Iâve already sent a letter to the city, we just hope they come on time.â
âThey are going to attack this village? What should we do?â
âDo you need to ask again? Of course, we have to fight back.â
â¦.
Discussions took place in the crowd, some people were scared, some wanted to fight back, some even didnât know what to do.
âEveryone calm down!!â
A loud voice from the village head calming the others, village heads started to talk about what they should do.
âWe will evacuate those who cannot fight, such as children and women. They will be evacuated in the underground storage room, while those who can fight, keep watch around, does anyone have any objections!?â The village head shouted.
Everyone looked at each other before they looked at the village head and said loudly.
âWe understand village head,â
âAlright, if you understand, hurry up and evacuate immediately, and also bring food supplies while you are there, after that for those who can fight, gather, here again, we will do the division of tasks,â
Everyone nodded and immediately did as the village head ordered.
