Fu~n. So, in the end, we let that wraith, Yuuko, escape?
Yeah. I wont be able to receivepensation from the guild, but the problem was resolved, so isnt fine?
On my way home.
I exined what happened this time to Aphrodite and Sheryl.
Now, Carolina. What iz your rtionship with the wraith, Yuuko?
Nice one! Sheryl!
She directly asked the question I really wanted to hear.
Actually, it was difficult to ask, since I had seen what happened myself.
I spoke with you Master, but Yuuko was my coworker where I worked long ago. I worked as a maid, and Yuuko took of the odd jobs at the end of the day.
Fu~n. I wondered what kind of demon it was, butthat girl, Yuuko, is not a big deal. Thest shift worker used by the maidsthere is no lower position amongst the low-level demons.
Nono!
You may not know because you didnt see it, but I cant believe that Yuukos status was as low-level of a demon as Aphrodite said.
Theres no way that Yuuko is weak.
That ce where Carolina worked must have been full of abnormally strong people.

After returning to the city was the long-awaitedbination time.
We went into the forest outside of town that I had my eye on as a ce to experiment with monsterbinations.

Evolution conditions
Wolf x hitodama
Low-level monster of the Spirit Beast race.
Its strong point is its rare magic attack.
The number of tails it has will increase every year.
This time the wolf evolved into a kitsunebi.
All of its stats rose and the variety of skills it can use rose too.
There is no reason to not make thisbination!
Press
The moment after I pressed the Yes button in the message.
The wolf and hitodama in front of me were wrapped in a pale light.
Immediately after that.
A red-furred fox appeared from the light.
Kon[2]! Ko~n!
Wh-what is this!?
Compared to the outward cool appearance of the wolf, the kitsunebi is the inner cute appearance.
A kitsunebi, huh? This is a good monster to get your hands on.
Is that so?
Yes. It is popr as a familiar demon because of its rare ability to use two types of magic as a low-level race of demon.
Oh
It was the right decision to evolve the wolf, after all.
It got Carolinas approval.
Uoooooooo! How cute! Its zo fluffy~!
Apparently, I wasnt the only one whose tension rose at the sight of this new monster.
Girls really do like cute animals, huh?
Sheryls appearance looking at the kitsunebi was the same as when she looked at her beloved ores.
Souta-zan! I wish for you to leave thiz childs care to me! If therez such a cute child there, thenI can wait in the ball for any length of time!
I got it. In that case, I ask you to take care of it, Sheryl.
Unlike a certain goddess, I can safely leave it to Sheryl.
It was pleasant feeling to watch her hugging the kitsunebi.
Dee? Are you sick? Youve been quiet for a while now.
B-but.I dont like it. Even though the prettiest and cutest in the world is Aphrodite-chan.
Youhow do youpete with animals?
As expected of the goddess of beauty.
Contrary to her appearance, her pride (?) is remarkable.
Now, shall Ibine the three remaining wolves?
There are three each left of the wolves and hitodamas needed to create a kitsunebi.
If I keep this up, Ill get my hands on four kitsunebi.
System Message
(A rare evolution has urred)
When I tried to make the fourth kitsunebithat message popped up.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar system message appeared.
What appeared from the pale light was not a kitsunebi.but a monster that looked like a bear covered in soft, fluffy fur.
Kedamalo
Skill
None
Evolution conditions
Wolf x hitodama (5% chance of rare evolution).
A medium-ranked monster of the Spirit Beast race.
They are called Sages of the Forest, and rarely appear in front of people.
Their fur is the highest quality material for trading.
Sofluffy
What is thisossan[3]-like creature!?
If the kitsunebis appearance is tradionally cute, then the kedamalos is the so-called cute and ugly appearance.
Its body is excessively stout. And its whole body is covered in thick fur.
Unexpectedly, its eyes are excessively round and adorable, it really exhibits gap moe[4].
Rare evolution?
So theres also this kind of random element.
Arent there probably other monsters than the kedamalo that have rare evolutions?
Perhaps it just hasnt seeded until now, but there were other chances.
This monsteris not one I have seen before.
Eh. Even Caro doesnt know it?
Yeah. It is embarrassing, but. In over 300 years of living, this is the first time I have met this kind of monster. I dare say they are already extinctI believe it is a rare species that exists only in this world.
Is that so.
Well, now.
Whats up with this?
Its nice that I got a rare monster, but
Frankly, I dont know how to use this monster.
Its not blessed with the skills of the kitsunebi, nor do I think it can move quickly like the wolf.
It has a high vitality so I might be able to use it as a meat shield, butthe adamite golem is sufficient for the role of defense.
A-amazing! This springy texture and soft fur. Perhapsif its this child!?
Contrary to myself, whose tension lowered with this unexpected rare evolution, Aphrodites voice was excited.
H-hey. Souta! Couldnt you tell this child toy on the ground like its sleeping?
Sure. Thats fine, but.
What in the world are you thinking about?
After I ordered the kedamalo toy on the ground.
Aphrodite began rolling around on its stomach.
Th-this is it! This sticity! This is exactly what I have been searching forthe ideal bed!
With her cheeks loosening up slovenly, Aphrodite continued rolling on the kedamalos stomach.
Hey. Souta. I seriously have one wish, butis it alright?
Sure. What is it, so suddenly?
Can you leave this child to me in the ball? If its on top of this childs stomachI could sleep for thousands of years.
Umm. So with this, Ds request for a soft and fluffy heavenly bed has been cleared?
Of course! This childs stomach is a first-rate product that wont lose to any bedding in heaven! Hey, hey. Souta! This is my once-in-a-lifetime wish!
Well, I dont really mind.
Really!? As expected of Souta! You understand what Im saying!
Uh!
Geezshes really calcting.
When I gave permission, Aphrodite hugged my body tightly.
Is it really alright to use a living creature as a bed?
I still had this concern, but it was better than being tricked into buying something at that magic tool shop.
And thus I have cleared two out of three tasks in the Ball Facilities Expansion n.
[1]This is a fox fire or will-o-wisp. However, that doesnt make any sense, as youll read in a moment, so Im just going to leave it like this
[2]Sound of a fox in Japanese

[4]For anyone unfamiliar with gap moe, its an attractive or appealing characteristic that is out of character. For example, when tsunderes go dere
