"Leo Road...... You may ...... It's going to evolve......"

“！！”

Looking at the body that was getting stronger and stronger, Leolu couldn't stop it no matter what he did.

"Calrest, isn't there any other way?!"

Calrest shook his head regretfully: "I'm really sorry, I can't stop the evolution of the elves...... But why don't you want to evolve? Obviously you can get more power after evolving...... Don't you want to be stronger?"

yes, Calrest was right. Leolu calmed himself down as much as he could, and began to think about Calest's words.

Indeed, evolution is much easier and faster than slowly accumulating strength. This way to gain strength may be what all those who want to become stronger think about day and night.

But...... Leolu doesn't think so. At least he knew why.

"Calest, I'm never- can't spare you!!"

Leolu didn't know what to do anymore, and even if he tried desperately, he couldn't control his body that was about to change.

“…… Really, I'm sorry. ”

Calrest knew that he had messed everything up, and that a proud person like him could bow his head and apologize. But it still didn't help Leolu.

He didn't want to evolve...... At least not right now......

Becoming stronger must not rely on cutting corners to get by, which is both unfair and irresponsible to yourself.

At this moment, the door was suddenly slammed open.

"Calest, Leolu, what's going on?"

Kazuki leaned against the door frame, his tone very eager, but the beads of sweat on his face told Leolu how nervous he was.

But when he saw the scene inside the house, especially Leo Lu, who was emitting white light, Ikki was dumbfounded.

"This ...... What's going on?"

He didn't know what was going on here, but he could understand it just by looking into Leolu's eyes.

He needs help.

"I'm sorry, Kazuki, but Leolu seems to be evolving because of me......"

Calrest sincerely apologized to Ikki, but who knows, he received a resentful look from Leolu.

Ignorant of Calest's apology, Ikki rushed to Leo's side.

"If that's the case...... Well, as far as I know, when the elves evolve, in addition to emitting light, their bodies will also tremble violently......"

Leo Lu was already crying in a hurry: "Yihui, it's all like this, don't you explain so much, okay?"

Hearing this, Ikki scratched his head with a smile, and then his expression became serious: "Leo Lu...... You don't want to evolve right now...... Really?"

Leo Lu immediately nodded: "Of course, who wants such an inexplicable evolution!"

Kazuki smiled happily, then hugged the backpack behind him to his chest, rummaging through it.

"Ikki...... What are you going to do? Can you ......" Leolu's expression now seemed to see a savior, and he almost jumped on Ikki with excitement.

"Yes, yes...... But don't you really want to evolve? I need you to decide. You must know that we in the Kanto region don't know what your evolutionary conditions are, and if we miss this opportunity, it may be a long time before the next one...... There's still time, you can think about it. ”

Leolu was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this kind of question.

Do you really want to evolve?

Maybe there won't be a chance in the future?

The strength that can be obtained for nothing is lost like this?

Can't you become stronger after evolution?

After a moment's thought, Leo Lu raised his head and looked straight at Ikki.

"Have you decided?"

"Well," Leolu nodded, "I don't want to evolve!"

Ikki smiled with satisfaction, smiling like a sun that melts cold snow and ice.

As Kazuki's hand maneuvered in his backpack for a while, Leo Lu couldn't figure out what he was doing.

However, the light was now at its fullest, and Leolu in the room was like a super-bright light bulb at the moment, and his body began to shake like Ikki had said.

"Hurry up, Yihui, you shouldn't be lying to me, right?!"

But Yihui didn't even raise his head.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!"

Leolu also knew that he couldn't count on Kazuki too much, and he had to be patient.

Please, you must stop this vexatious thing!

Then, as soon as Ikki's arm moved, everything stopped.

"Whew~ It's really a long shot!"

Ikki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and suddenly lay on the hospital bed in Calest, looking at Leo Lu full of gratitude, he smiled heartily.

But there was one person here who couldn't laugh.

Calrest couldn't even run away now, he couldn't support his badly injured legs, and he couldn't even move.

"Thank you so much Ikki, how can I repay you!!"

Leo Lu grabbed Ikki's hand, his eyes narrowing into a slit with a smile.

"It's nothing, didn't Leo Lu help me so much before, it's just a gesture~"

Kazuki was a little embarrassed, this was the first time he had heard Leolu say such a thing. But when the result is good, everything is good, and he doesn't ask for anything in return.

However, Leolu secretly added another touch to the kindness of Yihui and their family in his heart.

However, after Leo Lu thanked Ikki, his tone became less polite.

With a gloomy face, he slowly turned to the sweaty Calrest.

"So what's next...... Let's take care of the people who started it all!"

Leolu's claws pinched twice in front of Calest's eyes, making a "click" sound, but Calrest had nowhere to run, so he had to smile awkwardly: "Since it's all right, you can just let me go......"

"That's, no, okay!"

Leolu's face was more terrifying than cruel, and even Kazuki behind him felt that the temperature had dropped several degrees at once.

Just as Leo was about to approach Calest, Kazuki suddenly stepped in between the two.

"Wait, Leolu is fine, but what's going on? Which of you will explain it to me? I'm wondering!"

Leolu was just trying to scare Calest, but Ikki was in the way, so he had to give up.

However, he glared at Calrest viciously through Kazuki's block.

At this moment, Calrest had to obediently explain all this to Yihui, after all, he was the one who was the first to lose.

“…… So that's the case, so it's no wonder Leolu is so angry. ”

After listening to Calest's explanation, Ikki made a "I see" expression, but he also glanced at Calrest helplessly.

"But even though Calrest was at fault, he apologized to you," Ikki slowly turned to Leolu, who was holding his arms and huffing, "You'll forgive him?"

Leoru looked back at him, sighed, and then turned around and walked slowly towards Calrest.

"Since Ikki has said so, then I won't pursue it. Fortunately, there is a hui, if it weren't for him, you would definitely be in the intensive care unit by now!"

Carest now looked at Ikki as if he had seen a lifesaver.

"Hey, I really can't do anything about you~"

Kazuki sat down on the bed next to Leo, picked up the stone and looked at it repeatedly.

“…… But I didn't expect you to ask Leo Lu to do such a dangerous thing, isn't that a little too ......?"

At this moment, Calrest wished that he had never seen these two men, as if nothing good had happened since this morning, and one was more troublesome than the other.

“…… Forget it, Kazuki, that's not his fault. ”

Leo Lu tugged at Kazuki's sleeve and shook his head.

"Okay, but you must discuss with me what you want to do in the future, and you can't take such a dangerous job behind my back anymore!"

Kazuki raised his hand and patted Leolu's head gently, making him unhappy for a while.

"Uh...... Haha......" Calrest could only smile helplessly, but he suddenly thought of what he wanted to ask just now, so he dared to pat Yihui.

"That...... Kazuki, what the hell did you just do, and why did Leolu's evolution suddenly stop?"

As soon as he said this, Leolu also came back to his senses, because he was too happy just now, and directly ignored the most important things, so he looked up at the boy next to him.

Ikki didn't plan to hide it, so he put his backpack on the bed and took out a red machine that everyone knew.

"Elven Illustrated Book?" "Isn't that what it is!?"
