Chapter 20: Saber-toothed tiger and White Forest sage
Chapter 20: Saber-toothed tiger and White Forest sage
It is now 5:00 in the morning. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom, made breakfast and ate it. While I was doing that, it was six o'clock. Well, let's play a game!
I log into the game and I'm in bed surrounded by my summoned beasts and when I wake up, everyone else wakes up. Everyone looks sleepy, but the word meal wakes them up. You guys, hee.......
I went downstairs and saw Mocchi-san. I greeted her and she gave me a reward of 5,000g for the meat roasting part-time job.
It's true that the reward had an added bonus, but what about five times? According to her, it's okay because she's earning more than 10 times as much. If that's the case, I'd like to be paid more, but I won't say it. I shouldn't commit the folly of having my salary lowered due to antagonism.
Then, I cooked the usual pile of boar meat. Meanwhile, Lily and the others are eating boar meat. I'm glad to see them happy.
After finishing my part-time job and eating, I went to the Adventurer's Guild on Mocchi-san's recommendation. Apparently, you can deposit money and items at the Adventurer's Guild.
When I arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, I told the receptionist that I wanted to deposit some money and submitted my guild card and I'm told I have already completed some of the guilds quests. Apparently, I overlooked something. Here are the quests that I had already completed.
Subjugation Quest Desnia Subjugation: Difficulty E-.
Reward: Quartz Stone
Defeat the giant, carnivorous river fish that appear in the Young Tree Forest.
Subjugation Quest Wolf Subjugation: Difficulty F
Reward: 500G
Defeat at least 20 wolves in the Young Forest.
I had completed these two quests. That piranha's name is Desnia, isn't it....... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but the name of the material in the drop item is Piranha. Uh......I don't know the standard.
Well, whatever. I'll get the item and money. But what's a quartz stone? It looks more expensive than water-based stone, but I'll try to appraise it.
Quartz stone: Rarity 3 Material Quality E-
A stone that contains the water attribute. The magic power of the water attribute is crystallized into a stone.
When used in a weapon, it may have a water attribute.
I'm sure I'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this type of product. The lack of it raises expectations!
Once again, I received an explanation about depositing money and items. For my rank, I can deposit up to 5000G in money and 50 items. The higher your rank on the guild card, the more you can deposit. I'll have to work hard.
So I decided to deposit 5000G, aqueous stone, quartz stone and piranha material. This way, I won't lose them when I die. So, I'll go hunting for piranhas called Desnia with no worries!
While collecting boar meat, I headed for the Desnia river (Provisional), not piranha. I arrived at the river without any problems, ate some meals, recovered my fullness level and buffed myself. Now it's time to go around. First, as usual, I blow it away and finish off Desnia.
Next, Konoha, who seems to have learned my methods, kicks Desnia out of the way from the side and when Desnia falls into the shallows near the land, Desnia rampages on the spot.
Kotetsu then enters the shallows, bites Desnia's tail and throws it ashore. We then beat Desnia up on land as usual.
I thought Gray was smart, but Konoha and Kotetsu were no slouches either.
While I'm admiring them, I get a notification that we've achieved our goal. No level up for me and Lily, but that's no problem.
Kotetsu's level has reached 8. Evolution is possible
Konohas level has reached 8. Evolution is possible
Yes, let's take a look at evolution. Let's start with Kotetsu!
White Tiger
A white variant of the Bengal tiger. In some countries, it is considered sacred. It doesn't have the same offensive and defensive capabilities as the saber-toothed tiger, but it can control the wind and is faster than the saber-toothed tiger by far.
It's a celebrity! It's a celebrity tiger! I like it a lot. However, it seems that there is an evolutionary path worthy of the name Kotetsu. Let's take a look.
Saber-toothed Tiger
A tiger with abnormally evolved maxillary canine teeth, also known as saber-toothed tiger. The tiger's maxillary canine teeth are a testament to its outstanding attack power.
It's not that they're particularly good at attacking, since there's no mention of defense......in the description. And the last one is here.
Red Tiger
A tiger with red fur. It prefers a warm climate. Its status is average, but it attacks enemies with its fire-attribute fangs and claws.
No specialization in status with the addition of the fire attribute......personally, I would choose the white tiger. It's a tiger that you can't keep normally. It's a tiger that you can't keep in a normal home, even in a game. You'll be able to get a lot more than just a tiger. I think it's very important to match the name.
So, here's the evolved Kotetsu.
Kotetsu has evolved into Saber-toothed Tiger
Name: Kotetsu, Tiger Lv8 -> Saber-toothed Tiger Lv1
Vitality 2226
Magic Power 2
Strength 2634
Defense 2024
Agility 1622
Dexterity 1420
Skills
Bite Lv4
Claw Strike Lv4
Leap Lv4
Night Vision Lv4
Assault Lv1
Intimidation Lv1
The evolved Kotetsu is the very same saber-toothed tiger that lived during the late Oligocene epoch and Pleistocene epoch. Its status is that it has abandoned magic and increased strength. Eight at once is too much, isn't it?
But how bad is Lily, who exceeds that attack power? There are also two new skills, Assault and Intimidation. I'll check them out later.
Next is Konoha. There are three ways to evolve. The first is this one.
Snowy Owl
This owl is characterized by its white appearance. This owl lives in a cold region. It hunts during the day rather than at night, which is unusual for an owl. They use their talons and wind, water and ice magic to attack.
Eh? I don't know anything about ice magic......whatever it is, it's a famous owl from a movie about a wizard. I'm sure you've heard of it. I've already made up my mind, but let's look at the others.
Large horned owl
A large horned owl. Often seen in the forest at night. It has better scouting ability than the brown wood owl and attacks with its talons and wind magic.
An horned owl is a type of owl. The horned owl has ear-like feather horns on its head and the owl has no such feather horns and is round. I'm an owl person. In case you're wondering, there is an owl called the short-eared owl. If it had that name, I would have been lost. Now, let's take a look at the other one.
Large Owl
A large owl. Often seen in the forest at night. It has higher attack and defense capabilities than the Great Horned Owl. It attacks with its key talons and wind magic.
I feel the administration is cutting corners. However, they seem to have divided the owls into three categories: the large horned owl specializes in searching for enemies, the large owl specializes in fighting and the snowy owl specializes in magic. Now, the name suggests that Konoha is a large owl, but my desire won out here.
Name Konoha Owl Lv8 Snowy Owl Lv1

Konoha has evolved into a Snowy Owl
The evolved Konoha became a pure white owl. The irises of its eyes are yellow. It's just like I saw in the movie. Then Konoha is on my head.
"Hoo!
I guess evolution doesn't change......or rather it hurts so much that I need to educate it.
I chose it because we don't have wind, water or ice magic in our group, to give an excuse. To tell the truth, I just wanted to keep it once. Either way, I don't regret it!
