Chapter 145- Changes after Evolution

“Does the status change depending on  where the evolution takes place?”

“That's right”

“Seriously!?”

“Aah” 

Apparently, status changes depend on which area you evolve.

“Dark Elves specialize in close combat, Hobbit Elves specialize in magic combat and High Elves are evenly split between the two.”

According to the story, it seems that the dark elf has a particularly high[HP], [attack] and [agility], the hobbit elf has a high [MP], [magic attack] and [Intelligence]. Then, the high elf has [HP], [MP], [Attack] and [Magic attack] slightly higher than the others, but it seems that they'll increase on average.

“By the way, the acquisition of skills also changes.”

According to Tiya, dark elves easily acquire skills that quickly cast magic such as omission of chanting and no chanting, plus physical attack skills and it seems that their skill level also rises easily. However, skills that increase the power of magic are difficult to acquire and their magic skill levels are also difficult to increase. Hobbit elves are the opposite of dark elves. High Elves do not have any particular skills that are easy or difficult to acquire.

“So the three of you chose which part to evolve according to your specialties..."

If I can evolve, it’ll be according to my strengths. I'm more of an all-rounder, so I guess I'll be what the elves call a high elf. Is there a High Elf in human terms? High Human?

“Isn't it a little different from adapting to what you're good at?"

“Eh?”

“I only had dark elf and high elf.”

“Tiya only had hobbit elf and high elf.”

“I only had High Elf”

“........."

My mouth hung open at the unexpected words. It seems that it’s not unconditional that the status of evolution appears. Listening to the story, it seems that the evolution status of ordinary elves is high elf. By the way, Judy uses I while TIya uses Tiya when speaking about themselves and I call them both by their names. The elf queen had told us both to act as usual when I called her by her first name. I wonder if she felt it was unfair that she was the only one speaking plainly.

“Because I had acquired parallel thinking, that's why the Dark Elf's evolution status appeared.”

“Tiya was... less than 145cm tall, so the hobbit elf evolution appeared.”

"Is that so..."

When I listened to the details, I heard that the evolutionary status was determined by a variety of factors that I didn't know in detail, such as the person's appearance, reputation in the world, age, status, skills and titles. I was told that when you choose your evolutionary status, you’ll be shown what conditions you have met and what you’ll look like when you evolve. Judy seemed happy that she could become a Dark Elf, but Tiya didn't seem to like the fact that the Hobbit Elf option itself appeared. By the way, after evolving, the elf queen’s ears grew a little longer and Judy's skin became darker. And Tiya's appearance didn't change, apparently. I heard that sometimes the appearance of a species changes after it evolves. I'll try not to evolve into a strange race and become a deformed one......

“Did Judy-san acquire parallel thinking…?”

If that's the case, then I might be able to evolve into something different. And since I've acquired more than enough titles, some unusual evolutionary status might appear.

"Eh! Zeros-sama acquired parallel thinking too?”

"Ah, yes."

In response to what I said in a whisper, she narrowed the distance as much as I could. Judy also has a well-organized face that's not inferior to Sophie’s, which is peculiar to elves. Sophie has a rather cute face, but Judy is a beautiful girl who seems to be like a loving older sister. Or rather, when thinking about the appearance of a person, it’s awkward to think using the standard of my younger sister. Can I fix it?

“If so, I'm going to have to teach Zeros-sama some spirit magic for close combat.”

"Mmm... does Zeros-sama have “precise magic control”?"

"Ah, Uh, yes."

This time, Tiya-san narrowed the distance between us and said so. I stammered a bit.

“If so, I’m going to have to teach Zeros-sama spirit magic for long distance combat.”

"Huh?"

"...What?"

Then Judy and Tiya began to glare at each other. Should I stop them?

“Both of you are fighting for something that makes no sense.”

I was wondering if I should stop them, but I was glad that the elf queen stopped them. I guess it wasn't my place to intervene.

“Zeros-sama is the kind of person who would be satisfied with either one, right?

What?  That’s an unpleasant flow of events? The best thing for me would be to compromise and have them both teach in their own way.

“We’ll teach Zeros-sama spirit magic for close combat and for long range combat, that way he can overwhelm the enemy in any situation regardless of distance.”

“I was wrong.”

“I was wrong, too.”

"Huh..."

I'm very happy that they're teaching me both. I'm also happy that they're expecting me to be perfect in both. But I'm afraid that I might betray their expectations. Please don't expect that much from me ....... Oh, I’ve been thinking negatively since I lost to that monster.

“Zeros-sama will be able to use spirit magic more than we do.”

"Uh..."

“We’ll you! Do your best!"

The queen gently wrapped my left hand in hers. And Yug hugged my right arm. If a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl say so in this way, I’ll do my best and master both spirit magic styles, whether it’s close or long distance. After all, a man is as simple as ever.

"Queen... I understand. I'll try my best to master both."

"As expected of Zeros-sama! But can I have a word?”

“Yes?"

She smiled happily as she said that. But her face soon became cloudy.

"Why did you call me Queen?"

“Ah…?”

I hadn't really thought about it, but I was certain that I should be calling her Queen instead of her name. Tiya and Judy were giggling at that.

"I'm the only one being called Queen......"

“Oh! Sorry! Emily-san!”

It wasn't an act, she really started to cry, so I hurriedly apologized and called her name. And then the face that was crying turned into a smile. A beautiful woman can make both a crying and smiling face.

After a short conversation, they told me to hurry up and call them if I needed anything and all three of them left the room. They said that I wouldn’t be able to rest if people I had just met were with me in the room while I was sick. They were overly concerned, but the concern made me very happy.

Incidentally, as we were talking, I noticed that I was sitting up. I tried to see if I could get out of bed and I was able to. Maybe the reason why I couldn't even raise my upper body before was because my heart hadn't healed from being completely broken by the monster? I told the three of them that I could get out of bed now and they said that they would start teaching me spirit magic in a week and that I should stay in this room for a week just in case.

The week passed in a blink of an eye as they took good care of me.
