“So what can Nekoma do with beastification?”

Carina asked Nekoma that first after signing the contract. No… isn’t that something you usually ask before signing a contract?

“First of all, it increases your status just like any other beast.”

That’s true no matter which beast you sign up with. There are big and small, but no matter which beast you contract with and which beast you become, your status will go up.

“In Nya’s case, all the other stats will go up except defense and magic defense. Especially your agility will go up a lot.”

The status of each beast is different. In the case of Darki, attack, defense, and agility are increased significantly.

“Other than that, you can normally become a beast by transforming yourself into a beast nya. But I think it’s stronger to have hands and feet in beastification.”

I’m not a beast, so it is impossible. But there are forms in which a beast can become a beast. Well, even if I become a perfect beast, I won’t be able to hold a sword, so I don’t think I’ll use it.

“And with the Beast King there, you have some special abilities!”

“Call me Darki, not Beast King.”

“Oh, okay.”

Apparently, all fantasy beasts can use special abilities like Darki’s psychokinesis.

“What are these special abilities?”

“Can I say it?”

“It’s totally fine.”

Nekoma glanced at me and confirmed that she really could tell me her special ability.

Basically, it is better not to tell anyone about your special ability. Whether or not it is known will greatly change the battle situation when you fight that opponent. In fact, I haven’t even told Sophie about my darki’s ability. I think Sophie would have some idea.

“The only abilities that can be used right now when you become a beast are… vision expansion, enhanced eyesight, clairvoyance, and the ability to stockpile one of the items you have taken with your borrowed eyesight. If Carina can grow multiple tails when she becomes a beast, she will be able to use more powerful ones.”

“Huh? Stockpile?”

When I heard the word “stockpile”, as was listening to the conversation, I just poked into Nekoma.

“That’s right. The things taken by Carina’s eyes are kept in her eyes. Once you have taken something, you can’t take it again until you’ve used it all up. To prevent this, Nya’s power can be transferred to her tail. This way, you can create a situation where nothing can be held in the eye. So you can use the borrowed eye once more.”

In short, Carina, in her animalized state, can use the deprivation eye twice. It is only one more time, but it is quite strong.

“When Carina becomes a beast and can grow two or three tails, her stock number will also increase by two or three.”

If Carina can fully master Nekoma, she will be able to use the borrowing eye up to 4 times in total…. that’s crazy.

“Anyway, this is how Nya’s ability looks like.”

“Thank you.”

It is true that Nekoma’s ability is the one that only Carina can use. Even if I could use vision expansion, vision enhancement, clairvoyance, and stocking, I have little use for them. Especially since there is nothing to stock, stock would be an ability I don’t need completely.

However, with carina, the range she can see increases with vision expansion and vision enhancement, which means that she can take away more range. Furthermore, with clairvoyance, it is possible to take away magic that is invoked from behind a rock or from other places where it cannot be seen. Not to mention the stock.

“Let’s try to turn you into a beast.”

“Wait a minute. You can’t do it now! It’s almost too much for your body! You’ll do the beastification after you evolve.”

“I understand.”

“You’ll be able to use as much of my power as you want once you evolve, so please be patient until then.”

Then, I thought, Why didn’t she come to sign the contract after evolving? Well, it is true that even with my current status, the burden is so great for the beastification of the fantasy species that I cannot grow all nine of my darki tails. It might be difficult to use such too big power on a pre-evolved carina.

“It’s about time for me to go back into Carina.”

“I’ll do the same.”

With that, Nekoma returned to Carina and Darki returned to Suiyami.

“How is Carina going to hunt from now on?”

“I’ve asked Shaina to take over for me, so I’ll leave the remaining time to her. I’ll start again at 3:00.”

“Understood.”

Then Sophie and Elira fought alone, then me and Shana alone, and finally Shana and I supported the Carina-led hunt and the hunt was over.

“Then I’m off to evolve.”

“Have a good time.”

Then we finished breakfast, Carina evolved, and we went to sleep in the tent.
