He barely remembered when his ego was formed.

 

However, somehow, he remembered when he was born into this world.

 

This was probably the same for his friends around him.

 

He was born with something like a pattern glowing at his feet.

 

The only two things he possessed at that time were, simply put, an appetite and a sexual desire.

 

But when he recognized that <that person> was in front of him, he unconsciously knelt.

 

Looking back, he was amazed that he was able to recognize <Him> with such simple awareness.

 

The other members of the group were the first to notice this, so there must have been something in them that attracted <Him>.

 

It was at that time that <He> gave me the name Gabo.

 

From that moment on, his name became a treasure for Gabo for the rest of his life.

 

It would be after the first change that he would truly feel his ego emerging.

 

When he asked <That Person> about it later, he was told that it was called “Evolution”.

 

In short, a drastic change in one’s body and ability to think.

 

In fact, after the first evolution, it became much easier to defeat the monsters that appeared around the village.

 

It was also around this time that he began to think about things properly.

 

Looking back, however, it was very straightforward thinking.

 

Even so, the change in him seemed to be significant to his friends, and he came to be recognized as a leader.

 

He had always gone hunting with a group, but there was no clear leader, and the decision was made on a case-by-case basis.

 

But now they have recognized him as a leader not only in hunting, but also in their daily lives.

 

As he spent time as the leader of his friends, he gradually came to understand the trick to organizing a group.

 

As he spent his time doing this, <That Person> would sometimes come to the village.

 

One day, they found out that <He> also spoke the same language as they did.

 

Every time he came, they tried to understand what he was saying, but they could not understand him at all.

 

By that time, there was an individual who had evolved in the same way as Gabo had.

 

That individual seemed to be doing the same thing, but eventually, he was unable to understand the words of <That Person>.

 

Then one day.

 

<That Person> came and started to do something with his friends as he always did.

 

It was difficult for them to understand what <He> was doing.

 

However, after <He> came, his companions often evolved.

 

Finally, it was Gabo’s turn.

 

<He> approached and started to do the same thing as the others.

 

Gabo did not know what he was doing, but he was willing to accept it all for what it was.

 

There was no negative feeling that he was going to do something outrageous or anything like that.

 

And then it happened suddenly.

 

He knew that <He> had given him some kind of power.

 

While he understood it, he also understood the words that <He> was speaking.

 

He was talking about the power that he had just given to his friends, including Gabo.

 

<He> referred to this power as a blessing.

 

After that, he spoke with his companions in various ways, and although they could hear the words, they could not understand the meaning of the words.

 

However, they understood that the power of the blessing would be a great help to them again.

 

Since it was a power that had been given to them, they made up their minds to make good use of it.

After that, they did a lot of hard work.

 

After trying to master the “Blessing” he had received, he was finally able to attain his second “Evolution”.

 

With this, he had gained a complete sense of self.

 

What made him most happy was that he could pronounce words, something that had been difficult for his old body to do.

 

After that, he practiced hard to be able to pronounce the words.

 

His friends were surprised that he could speak the same language as <That Person>.

 

When he told them that he was capable of speaking the language because of his “Evolution,” they became very enthusiastic.

 

The “Evolution” did not only change their ability to control their own language.

 

Just as with the previous “Evolution,” his physical abilities had improved, and so had his thinking skills.

 

With their greatly improved abilities, hunting monsters had become easier.

 

Although they were not going to let their guard down, they no longer got beaten up by the monsters that appeared around the village.

 

In turn, he was able to work on improving the abilities of his companions.

 

There was still no one who had been given power by <Him> at the same time as himself who had reached the same level of strength, but his power seemed to be steadily improving.

 

If he had a complaint, it was that the only weapon he could use to hunt monsters was a blunt weapon, but this could not be helped.

 

If possible, it would be better if they could use the weapons that <He> and his friends have, but there was nothing they could do about that.

 

It would be a good idea to ask <Him> someday.

 

Although, he was too afraid to do such a thing, and he didn’t think he would be able to do it anytime soon.

After spending time hunting monsters and teaching his friends various things, the day finally came.

 

One of his friends rushed into the village to inform him that <That Person> had come to the village.

 

He hurriedly took some of his friends and made his way to the place where he had heard the report.

 

There, he was sure that <He> was present.

 

He immediately kneeled and said the words as he had practiced.

 

“Welcome to our Village.”

 

He was relieved to be able to pronounce the words as he had practiced, but at the same time, the look of surprise on <His> face left a lasting impression on him.

 

Was it really such a surprise?

 

After that, he asked me many questions.

 

There were things he could not answer well, but <That Person> said, “It’s astonishing that you have become able to speak properly”.

 

That alone was worth all the effort he had put into practicing his words.

 

While checking on his friends, he was asked about a number of things, and in the midst of it all, he told <That Person> about weapons.

 

Although they could produce their own daily necessities, they were unable to obtain good quality weapons.

 

When he told <Him> this, <He> thought about it for a while and promised to bring us weapons later.

 

He wondered if the pause was because of concern that they would be rebelled against when they got their own weapons.

 

It was natural for <Him> to be concerned about that.

 

It would be a good thing that <He> was willing to bring it.

 

What surprised him was that a few days later, he brought them ten iron swords.

 

Gabo was so impressed that he was speechless for a while because he did not expect it to be prepared so soon.

 

Ten swords would not be enough to go to cover all of his companions, but it would still be more than enough.

 

He decided to give it to his companions in order, starting with those who had the highest fighting ability among them.

 

To his surprise, <That Person> went on to ask if there was anything else that they wanted.

 

Gabo was not comfortable asking for more, so he immediately replied that he had enough.

 

However, there was one thing he wanted to know after that, so he asked the question.

 

“Question? What?”

 

“My Lord, what is your name?”

 

<He> looked as if he had been struck dumb.

 

“What? Didn’t I tell you that?”

 

It seems like <He> came here before to say such a thing.

 

The name may have been mentioned when <That Person> was speaking with his friends, but it would have been impolite to say that they were unable to understand at that time.

 

So, he wanted to hear it properly and accurately.

 

“My name is Kousuke. You are free to call me Kousuke.”

 

As the name seeped into him, he felt like he was becoming even more powerful.

 

He felt even more determined to work for this person, or rather, for Kousuke-sama, at his own peril.

 

Although he had not been instructed to do anything at the moment, he felt that his primary mission was to maintain this village as best he could.

 

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

 

One day, Kousuke-sama came to the village.

 

At that time, he had achieved the next level of “Evolution”.

 

For some reason, Kousuke-sama looked very surprised when he tried to speak to him in the language that he had become even more fluent in.

 

He looked more surprised than ever before.

 

He was surprised about the “Evolution,” but not too surprised.

 

It was already his third “Evolution”.

 

He seemed to want to ask Gabo something after the greeting, so Gabo inquired about it.

 

“Um… Is something wrong?”

 

“Oh, uh… Gabo is a woman.”

 

“? Yes, I think so.”

 

Gabo answered honestly as she was asked, but for some reason Kousuke-sama had a shocked expression on his face.

 

Seeing his expression, Gabo was unintentionally upset for some reason, but tried not to show it.

 

Gabo could not be rude to Kousuke-sama.

 

On that day, Kousuke-sama gave Gabo a new name.

 

The new name was Sol.

 

Of course, Gabo was not a name she was dissatisfied with, but it fit her more comfortably than her old name, so she was happy to accept it.
