Chapter 124: Koihi′s Evolution and Lily′s Growth<hr>
    The evolved Koihi is now the same height as Lily and the others and her hair has grown a little longer. Her clothes are the same as Lily''s, a little more luxurious, but she still wears her mini-skirt miko outfit.
    So far, it''s the same as Lily and the others, but Koihi is different. Her fluffy tail had grown to two. When I was curious about what was going on, Koihi asked me fearfully.
    "He...isn''t it strange...?"
    She seemed worried because I watched silently.
    "It''s not weird at all. You''ve be cute. Koihi"
    "E...Ehehe...thank you very much. Takuto-oniichan"
    The two tails are slowly swaying. In the meantime, the number of tails has increased, so my eyes are heading toward the tail.
    Now, what happened to the evolved Koihi?<hr>

    Blood Awakening Lv1 <hr>
    Isn''t she getting really strong? Is it because she''s a subspecies?
    First of all, she has the same dual wield skill as Ion. It''s dangerous at this point. Koihi has a strength of 50. In terms of weight, that means she can equip two 25-weight weapons. She''s also fast, so Ion is in big trouble.
    And Gray is also in trouble because she learned to sense danger, but Gray is getting stronger. The problem is Yuuga...I''m sure he''ll change a lot when he evolves, but I won''t say anything.
    And the original blood awakening. I guess it''s the same as Lily and the others. I don''t have much time before the event starts, so I''ll use it against the Trents I''m about to defeat.
    While I''m looking for a tree, Setia finds a cypress.
    I take out my axe. Well, I''ll do my best...
    As I''m pounding on the cypress, Koihi senses something.
    "There''s something up in the tree!"
    What do you mean by something?
    I looked at the top of the tree and sure enough, there was something. A small green person?
    "Ah, that''s a Kodama!"
    Kodama? Ah! I''ve seen them before in famous animated movies. I think they''re about the same size, but they don''t look the same at all...they look like white y tablets, but here they look like a green boy. Is that what it is? I''ll try to identify it.
    <b>Kodama Lv3</b>
    <b>Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active</b>
    "Th, That''s not good! Takuto-sama!"
    Hmm? What do you mean it''s not good?
    As I was thinking that, Kodama took out some grass and blew a grass flute. And then he was gone.
    Yeah. I have a bad feeling about this.
    "Kodamas are tree fairies. They live in trees and if a tree is knocked down, they naturally get angry and call in the monsters of the forest"
    I hear loud footsteps...ah...wood golem...I thought so, but I was wrong. Emerging from the trees was a vaguely glowing one-eyed giant covered entirely in grass. I''ll try to identify it.
    <b>Troll Lv15</b>
    <b>? Subjugation Target Active</b>
    Ah~. Yeah. I saw it at the library. I know. But I didn''t expect it to be like this...I thought it would be about the same size or twice the size of a person holding a club. I guess quadrupling the size is not good.
    And there are four Trents to apany it.
    But then I saw the Skull-Orthros. I''m in a pinch, but not as bad as that guy. Even if I countered him with numbers, it would only cause damage.
    However, it will be hard to do it with only Koihis blood awakening. So it would be a good idea to relieve the anger of that time here. Besides, I want to see how much stronger we are than when we fought the wood golem.
    "Summon Legion!"
    A total of 23 of my summoned beasts are summoned. It''s quite a spectacle when you look at it this way.
    "Wa!? Is that a big...person?"
    I don''t think it''s a person. Lily.
    "Trents are here too...Takuto-san?"
    "I called everyone because we''re outnumbered. Besides, it''s good to see how much we''ve grown since we fought the Wood Golem, isn''t it?"
    "Indeed. That''s a good opponent"
    When Ion was convinced, Lily made a rare request.
    "Takuto! I want to fight that big guy! Not good?"
    Lily asks me with an iron sword in her hand. I was going to ask Koihi to be my partner, but it would be a good opponent to try out.
    "Okay. I''ll leave the Troll to Lily"
    "Got it! Leave it to me, Takuto!"
    "Everyone else takes care of Trents"
    Yes!
    I announce the formation and everyone heads for their respective prey. Gray, on the other hand, catches my gaze andes close.
    "If Lily is in danger, help her"
    "Gau"
    When Setia hears this, she gives me an earful.
    "You''re overprotective, aren''t you? Takuto-sama"
    I know. I''m aware of that. But I can''t help it, I''m worried about you. I think it''s my role as a summoner to trust everyone''s strength and leave them to their own devices. But I can''t help but think that I need to be prepared...maybe I need to change little by little.
    As I was thinking about this, everyone''s battle had begun.
    Trent and the others were in a terrible state.
    First, there was Sabik, Route, Puyosuke, Loco Moco, Airy, Liqueur and Darley.
    Route tightened up and blocked Trent''s movement. Sabik and Puyosuke, who is attached to Sabik, attach themselves to Trent. If this happens, Trent will be trapped. Even if he tries to attack Route, Airy is recovering.
    Loco Moco is also desperately ramming, but it just calms down. On the other hand, Liqueur and Darley are throwing an uneasy horse kick. That hurts, doesn''t it?
    Well, I guess Trent can''t win when he''s attached to Puyosuke. In the end, a st of Liqueur and Airy horns from front and back pierced Trent and knocked it down.
    The beasts, led by Kotetsu, seem to be enjoying themselves. Aranea restrains Trent with hard thread. It seems that damage is urring when Trent is forced to move. This is a new discovery. I didn''t know you could do this.
    And then there''s Kotetsu and his friends, biting and hanging on to Trent. I''m sure they''re desperate, but it looks like they''re just ying. Kurogane also joined in the attack and got stuck and the Trent was defeated.
    And then the battle between Koihi and Trent.
    "Blood Awakening!"
    Koihi took on a silvery-white aura and her tail increased to three! It''s still growing!
    Now, what is the status?<hr>
    <b><i>Name Koihi Cerian Beast (Blood Awakening) Lv20</i></b>
    Vitality 5060
    Magic Power 4464
    Strength 5060
    Defense 3040
    Agility 5262
    Dexterity 4252
    <b><i>Skills</i></b>
    Katana Lv7
    Dual Wield Lv1
    me Magic Lv3
    Fox Fire Lv5  Evil me Lv5
    Sign Detection Lv8
    Danger Detection Lv1
    Sorcery Lv1
    Shinto Magic Lv1
    Qigong Lv1<hr>
    After all, she''s strong. And her magic power is going up like crazy. No, the fox fire turned into evil me and Shinto magic and qigong technique are new.
    Evil me is a high skill of fox fire, so it will not change.
    I think Shinto magic is probably Japanese Shinto magic, but what it is is a mystery.
    Qigong is the famous qi...depending on whether ites in the form of real qi or anime qi, the evaluation will change. That''s just my opinion.
    Koihi pulls out her ss sword. And Koihi floats in the sky.
    What? She doesn''t have any flying skill, but...is it more likely that she''s a qigong artist? Floating in the air is more of an anime image, but there are people in real life who can float in the air with their chi, so I''m not sure yet.
    Then, Koihi holds her ss sword sideways and touches it with her left hand.
    "All sins and impurities are purged and purified"
    When she said this, the sword glowed brightly. Is this the holy light that Nebiros was talking about? In Shinto, purifying oneself of impurities is called misogi, right? I think it was to purify oneself, but in the game, is it the power to give holy light to weapons?
    "Here we go!"
    Koihi tried to approach Trent while floating in the sky. But the speed was at walking level...Koihi descended quietly.
    "I, I''m going!"
    Ah, I pretended it wasn''t there. But her face is bright red.
    Apparently, levitation has nothing to do with agility value. If there is a rtionship, is it skill level?
    While thinking about such things, Koihi''s specialty evolves.
    "Evil me, sh!"
    Trent is cut in half and ck red lotus mes ignite from the sh, burning Trent to death.
    What? A single blow? Isn''t that dangerous?
    No, maybe it''s not exactly a blow. Maybe it''s just the damage from the mes that killed it while it was dying from the sh...either way, it''s sure to be awful.
    And when Koihies back and she releases her blood awakening, she copses.
    "U...Uh..."
    I panicked as Koihi crouched down in pain.
    "Koihi!?"
    "It''s okay...it''s just...a reaction from the skill..."
    Koihi is so good, I''m in a hurry and when I look at the status, she''s definitely taking damage.
    I wonder if there is such a dangerous skill...I thought that it was a skill thatpletely lost magic power because I was watching Lily and others. But it seems that this skill reduces vitality not magic power and when it is canceled, all statuses drop.
    It''s a skill that embodies the idea of letting the flesh cut the bones.
    I''d like to prioritize healing Koihi, but there''s something I need to do first.
    "Bottomless Swamp!"
    Sink the remaining Trent into the bottomless swamp.
    "The immobile Trent is a long distance target. Setia and Kitsuneko, fire magic please. Ion, try attacking it with throwing. It''s a good way to improve your skills. Konoha will use ice magic and Hiyori will use wind magic. I''ll heal Koihi and then I''ll join in with ice magic"
    ""Yes!""
    While Ion and the others are beating up Trent, I''ll heal Koihi. And a sermon.
    "Koihi, did you know it was a dangerous skill?"
    Koihi nodded.
    "Why didn''t you tell me? Do you think I''d be happy if you used such a dangerous skill?"
    "No. But, I also wanted to help Takuto-oniichan"
    Haa. I can''t tell her not to use it if she says that.
    "All right. Then I''ll put a strict rule on when you use this skill"
    "Strict rule...?"
    "Yes. Whenever Koihi feels that she must rely on this skill, she can use it. If you can''t follow this rule, you''ll have to think of something else to do"
    "E, Emm. What will be...?"
    That''s what I''m going to ask you...now that you''ve asked, I''m going to have to be tough.
    "That''s right...you''ll be on duty for a month, right?"
    "I, I''ll protect it! I will definitely keep my word!"
    Koihi hurriedly promised. That''s it. I''m going to join the battle now.
    "I, I can fight too!"
    "Since you didn''t tell me about your skills, you can sit down there"
    "Y, Yes..."
    I used ice magic and observed Lily. Then I saw an amazing sight.
    "Yaa! Heavy sh!"
    Lily was overwhelming the Troll. She dodged his punches, stepped into his pocket and delivered a heavy sh to his stomach. I respected the fact that he was not blown away by Lily''s attack. However, it crouched down.
    Normally, Lily would have attacked there, but today she didn''t move and kept her sword at the ready, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
    "...Is that really Lily?"
    "I can''t believe it..."
    "Is that the result of training?"
    It was true that I had shown Lily how to fight like this. However, if Lily demonstrates it immediately after teaching or showing it, there will be no difficulty. If there was a catalyst for the change, it would be the battle with Skull Orthros.
    Just as I felt that I needed to grow up, Lily probably felt the same way and that''s why she''s fighting now. When I think about it, her beloved sword was broken when she was defeated in her pseudo-dragon state. The shock may have been greater than I had thought.
    I didn''t realize that...I have a lot of things I need to fix as a summoner.
    "Gray, join us in battle. I don''t think Lily will be able to beat him today"
    "Gau"
    Gray joins our battle and the game is won. And she did it, defeating the troll single-handedly.
    "I won! Takuto!"
    "Ah, you''re getting stronger. Lily"
    "E, Ehehee"
    I praise Lily while patting her head and she smiles with a big smile on her face. Then Ion and the others protested.
    "We''re getting stronger too, you know? Takuto-san"
    "I don''t understand why you only praise Lily-oneesama"
    "It''s not fair to only praise Lily-oneechan"
    Ah, everyone has be stronger too. I praise them all while patting them.
    After that, when I dismantle, Trents didn''t drop anything, but I got a wood-based stone from the Troll. It was the wood-based magic stone that summoned Setia, wasn''t it? I no longer feel nostalgic.
    After that, I finished cutting down the cypress that I had stopped in the middle of doing and returned to the store.<hr>
