Chapter 176: A New Species

"Hmm.....?”

“Onii-chan! You're up!”

“Sophie...  Good morning. Where are we?”

“You're on the bed.”

“Looks like it.”

When I woke up, I was asleep on my bed. I don't know if I slept for three days, but my memory is foggy. Why am I sleeping here?

"Ah! Sophie! Where are the demons?”

I remembered everything. I had been knocked out by the demons.

“They were gone by the time I woke up.”

“Really…”

When Sophie woke up, there was no sign of the demons and I've been asleep for a week and four days... ten days, in other words.

“Is Elira okay? And where are Emily, Tiya and Judy?”

“The only deaths in this incident with the demons are the two young men who got carried away and ignored the instructions and ran into the demons, the rest are all safe."

"Then it’s all good?"

Is it a good thing that few people died because of this? But I also feel bad for those who got carried away and ignored the instructions. And Sophie, didn't you click your tongue?

“And what happened to that white-haired demon?”

“Oh... that's..."

The white-haired demon that Sophie was referring to must be Ryu. Ryu's appearance was pure white with beautiful long straight hair down to her waist and she had sharp golden snake eyes. She was in the late 160's in height, not that different from me now. She had a consistently scary look about her, but there were occasional glimpses of bewitching.....

"... Zero Onii-chan."

“Oh."

Sophie approached with a slight glare. It was natural for her to be suspicious because I suddenly stopped speaking. From there, I told her exactly what had happened in detail.

“I'm sorry, Zero onii-chan, for letting you fight alone while I was there...”

"No, it's okay. To be honest, I was the wrong guy this time.”

After the conversation, Sophie cried and apologized to me. I was surprised by the suddenness. There was nothing for Sophie to apologize for this time, so I quickly comforted her.

“But...”

“I'm just glad I could protect you Sophie.”

“I don't like it!"

As she said this, Sophie stood up abruptly.

“I want to protect you, onii-chan! I don't want to be protected by you!”

And she said this emotionally. Now Sophie felt like she was letting out everything that had been building up since I had been gone for months. That's why I spoke up calmly.

"So, Sophie, are you better at fighting at long range or short range?”

"...Long range.”

“I'm better at short range by far. We're both good at different things, so let's help each other out where we can't as siblings. This time, I only took her on because I was good at short range. Next time, if there's an enemy that's good at long range, you can help me.”

I understand what Sophie is trying to say. As an older brother, I want to protect her at all times. But I don't think I can surpass her in magic alone. Except for the lightning... but... I thought as I fought against the dragon demon that it would be better to help each other than to be stubborn and drag each other down in strange places. To be honest, if it wasn't for Sophie's help, I wouldn't have been able to beat the dragon demon.

"......... I understand."

Sophie sat down in her chair again with a disapproving look on her face, as if to say, "I understand what you're saying, but I'm not convinced...".

“So what species did you evolve into, Zero onii-chan?”

Sophie spoke to me normally, as if the tense atmosphere of earlier had never existed.

“What did I evolve into?”

“Tell me your species, Zero onii-chan and I'll tell you mine!”

“What? Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

I was very curious about Sophie's race, so that made me happy. I chanted the word status in my mind in that mood and looked at the new status with great anticipation.

A message from the goddess

I thought it would be a waste to focus on just one race when there are so many options!

That's why I created a new race by combining six of my favorites, the [Lightning Man], [Lightning Man King], [Spirit Man], [Lightning Spirit Man], [Spirit Man King], and [Lightning Man Beast]. And while I was at it, I also increased the maximum number of titles and evolved the skills you use most! Isn't that great! You can praise me!

But I guess I pushed myself a little too hard and all the skills you didn't evolve are now at skill level 1! I also used all of the experience you had accumulated from killing that demon, which would have allowed you to reach level 30 immediately after evolving. Phew! you still didn't have enough, so you might not be able to level up for a while!

I'm… so… sorry. ♡

“......... What the hell is this?”

When I looked at my status, I shouted out loud.
