Alright! 7 LV more!

Two days have passed since I investigated the carriages.

I expected that I would MAX-ed my LV by the night before ... but they didn't give me good meat every time, and they often mixed my meal with the bad quality meat.

As the result, it didn't go according to my plan, and the schedule pushed back by a day.

I just found out when I was using a golem,  it seems the men were hunting some fresh meat for me, a rare species. .

Thank you for your hard work!

Of course ... I got half of bread from Alena every time.

I tried to refuse her several times, in the end I lost my patience and ate it.

But thanks to that, I should be grateful that my level went up quickly.

"Mr. White Snake. How much longer?"

I make a gauge meter and fill it with water.

I stop the water at around 80% and I tell her that it's around this much..

I wonder if she gets it.

I want to praise myself.

I don't have anyone to brag about!

"It's a little more!"

That's right!

But I don't know what kind of evolution I will be next.

I'm sure there's a Wave Snake in the list, but I don't know because I don't have any information about the other one.

As always.

I think that species is strong ...

Please let it be fire if possible!

I want flame-type snakes!

Why I want it?

Because I can cook with it!

I want to grill some meat.

Eat a raw meat everytime is a bit too much for me ...

No, that wasn't my only reason, you know?

Since I was a human in my previous life, I'm a bit reluctant to eat raw meat.

Het, electric-based species is okay too!

It seems that most creatures can be killed with high probability ...!

If I try, I can burn the meat too.

Just a bit more I likely to evolve by the end of today.

It doesn't seem we have reached the destination yet, and it seems that I can escape before I solded out.

I'm kind of relieved because it would be difficult to get out once I entered the town.

I might be killed just by going outside the street.

From the human perspective, I'm a monster.

"Hey, Mr. White Snake"

What is it?

"You will save Satella-onee-chan, right?"

Of course. Leave it to me.

I nod as a reply.

Whether I can evolve today or not ... It depends on what the men get for me.

If I go up to 5 level, I should almost certainly be able to evolve with the bread that Alena gives me.

Thank you [Rare Species Benefits].

Without that, I wouldn't have been able to raise my level this quickly.

I wonder ... What's Alena feels abut this kind of situation?

Her parent was killed by the slave traders, and she was parted from her sister and fell into slavery.

Isn't there anything wrong with Alena's and the villagers' mind?

Normally, it wouldn't be strange to be driven by hatred in their heart.

Yet, Alena is more worried about her sister than herself.

She knew that she is going to be a slave.

If it was me, I wouldn't forgive such unreasonableness.

I think some of them will take revenge ...

How can she keep her heart this pure?

I'd really like to ask ... But, I'm unable to ask difficult questions.

I have no choice but to explain it with a picture. So I had a lot of trouble when asking a question.

It seems that Alena was interested to think about what I wanted to know.

Well, is it okay if she have a pure heart?

No, that's not right, I'm an idiot.

She is going to be enslaved, right?

She is definitely going to break her heart ...

But if she don't become a slave and not taken care by someone, she may not be able to live ...

It's a different story if a kind adventurer helped her out of nowhere ...

It's painful that I can't do anything even if I know she'll be a slave.

What I know is, I realize that I'm still weak.

But Alena doesn't seem angry about it.

It's even more painful because I know that.

"Oh, that's right, Mr. White Snake! If you're going to find her. Then, is there any way to let me know?"

This kid is really ...

Please stay like this until I find her.

Well, I should think how to tell Satella about Alena.

Certainly it may be necessary.

Even if I go out normally, They would be wary of me.

Because I'm a huge snake.

I decided to nod and think how to inform her.

"First, drain the water"

To put out water means to convey something with pictograms.

I put out water and make the shape as instructed.

"Here, like this ... Ah, no no, not like that. This part is stretched like this."

This is looks fine.

Can I remember this ...?

Alena is just drawing something.

This shape is ... a processed stone?

It is a stone that is cut like a diamond.

What is this?

"It's done! This is the stone that Dad gave to Mom! Mom has always cherished it, so if you show this to her, she'll gets it. Only Mom was wearing the jewels in the village."

Hmm, Is that so?

Is it like a ring?

There is also such a culture in this world ...

But the shape is a little distorted ...

Should I remake it?

Well, let's make the shape a little more squishy ... It's stone-like and stone-like ...

How is it?

"Wow! Amazing ... It looks similar"

Hah. It seems it works.

After all, the original shape is a beautiful jewelry.

This makes it easy to remember the shape, and I'll be able to put it out as soon as I found Satella.

Is it a secret that I was wondering if there was such a fluffy ore?

You see, it's a different world ... it could be something that doesn't exist in the previous world.

I got a pass from Alena, and it looks like it's okay.

Then I and Alena continued our talking session again.

Alena can't stop talking even after she talk this much.

Girls like to talk so much.

I'm kind of surprised.

...... Today is the last day.

Let's go out of here tonight.

Well, my imagination was tested for several days.

I can talk only with pictures!

It's hard you know!

◆

-Night-

At night, food was distributed as usual.

The man had been feeding other animals for a while, but his work was soon over and he quickly went out.

The meat that was served to me ... can only be said to be a huge chunk of meat.

Is the blood drained correctly!?

Isn't it just scraped off with a knife!??

If you don't cool the hunted prey immediately, the meat will get bad!

They- Don't they know that? People in this world!

Well, it doesn't matter to me who eats immediately after hunting.

But to feed it to Alena ...!

As expected, the meat that Arena got is cooked, but ... it's already damaged.

It's not very delicious, isn't it?

It's just sliced ​​and baked ...

There is a way to make it delicious just by grilling it!

This is just roasted on the surface! ??

Why is the last meal such a cut-out dish!

And mine is raw! Chomp!

[You have gained experience points. LV is now MAX. Evolution is possible. Display the current status]

Oi!

This is a good meat!

Then make a decent dish with this meat!

Ah right, the status is good for the time being.

However, it's able to gain 7 level up at once ...

Well, this meat looks quite big.

I think the monsters they were hunted also quite big.

But with this ... I can evolve!

I will tell Alena about this right away.

Of course, I make a gauge frame with water and store water in there.

This time I will raise the water gauge to the full.

I should be able to say that I can evolve.

Alena seemed to notice it immediately after seeing it, and had a bright expression.

"Mr. White Snake! Don't tell me- ...!"

That's right! I can evolve now!

I nod and tell her so.

Alena is as close to me as possible and whispering "Congratulations".

So I also made a smile with emoticons as "Thank you".

I'm used to it and this is how we communicated with each other.

I had a hard time at first, but if I get used to it, I'll be able to do it quite smoothly.

"Then, Mr. White Snake. Good luck."

Ou! I'll definitely find your sister and help help, and then I'll come back to help you!

Make a hand with water and shake it.

It's a "bye bye" emoji.

Alena also waved.

I won't be able to do it for a while, but ... I'll definitely come back!

Let's go! Heavenly voice!

Evolution Path!

No, but why it must be DaftWorm?!

Aaah, this is must be my punishment ... Geez, I must accept the reality!
