Alo seemed like she really tired herself out, so I let her rest right next to me.
Before, she evolved from〖Wight〗to〖Skull Low Mage〗.
To be honest, for a second, I thought she evolved into a bone mage that just lets her use more magic.
It’d be really nice if she evolves into something close to a human……
If her next evolution after〖Skull Low Mage〗is〖Skull High Mage〗, then that’s just sad.
If there’s something I can do, I’ll definitely do it…… so, start thinking, me.
〖Laplace’s Interference Authority〗
That suspicious title skill.
Last time I used that skill was during a serious situation and it gave me flunky future scenarios.
I honestly don’t like to rely on it.
I experienced firsthand that God’s Voice is a brute, and there is definitely an even bigger disadvantage in every advantage it gives me. And besides, I don’t even know how credible the information it gives to me are.
Even the stupid hero had the same skill as me and it didn’t give him any future of me defeating him at all.
At least back when I used this skill, I didn’t follow any of the futures it gave me.
…… But, I still wonder even now.
I know it’s a suspicious skill. I know that, but…… I can’t help but ask right now.
God’s Voice, I ask you, will Alo return to human?
Immediately after I asked that, a “za, zaza, za” kind of noise started echoing hurtfully in my head.
An artificial sound that strangely felt like I’ve heard of it before.
It’s discomforting me and I’m starting to feel a bit dizzy.
“Gra~a?”
Partner looks at me and wonders what’s making me frustrated.
I shake my head as if nothing’s wrong.
【It is impossible to calculate high credibility values as it requires unregistered private data.】
A weird voice spoke in my head.
Unregistered… data?
What? What are you saying? Are unregistered and private two different things for you?
【Furthermore, as the authority granted to you is inefficient, this information is not open for you.】
That was the last message God’s Voice said after breaking its link with me.
…… You’re just putting on airs, in the end, you never planned to tell me anything, did you?
My〖Laplace’s Interference Authority〗is Lv 2. So, if I level it up, more information may be available for me.
I shake my head again to remove all the discomfort I’m still feeling from that skill.
Damn it all. Fine then, I’ll just leave that skill alone for now.
It’s just a useless skill that will be more of a burden than the rest after all.
When I look down at Alo, Partner starts tugging me.
“Gra~a! Gra~a!”
Looks like Partner wants me to fry the pig for her to eat.
I fire a〖Scorching Breath〗at the pig and a crispy sound came.
Just at the same time, Alo woke up.
Partner stares at Alo in silence.
Alo… understood (?) what Partner just said, though I have no clue what went between them, then Alo just sat there in silence.
“Gra~a! Gra~a!”
Partner, after seeing Alo sitting down quietly, starts tugging at me again.
I headbutt Partner to stop her.
“Aga~!”
Food comes later.
Alo is seriously beaten up, you know.
Her evolution comes first……
I ignore Partner and turn to Alo.
Alo was just sitting down and not moving at all.
She’s giving off a “I’m so tired” vibe, so I pulled my shoulder back and put a claw next to Alo.
…… Ah I see, she won’t move until Partner finishes eating the pig.
Partner…… why would you make Alo do this?
Partner drops the pig and looks away from me.
I can clearly see huge chunks of the roasted pig sticking out from her mouth.
W-Why you…… you’re not reflecting over your actions at all.
If this is the same as last time, then we’ll need another full powered〖Fake Life〗to evolve Alo again.
That means… I can’t afford to let Partner’s mood go down now.
I gave up scolding Partner and went near the burnt pig.
I hold back the amount of magic power required and lightly use〖Scorching Breath〗at the pig again.
The pig gets heated up along with the surrounding grass. Shortly after, the surrounding grass turned black and became ashes.
Smoke rises up from the pig. The smell of freshly cooked pig meat enters my nose, and I can’t help but internally drool at it.
Say, Partner.
I’ll just… take a small bite from this pig too, if you don’t mind……
Partner, without a second to spare, bites the pig’s stomach, lifts the pig up, and gobbles the pig whole in her mouth.
I cried. And, cried. And, kept crying like I just lost something important to me.
Partner looks at me while chewing the pig in her mouth and makes a “Did you say something?” face.
H-How dare you……
…… Well, at least this lightens up your mood, I guess.
Alo slowly stood up after seeing that Partner finished her meal.
Looks like both of them know what to do already, Partner stretches her neck at Alo.
“Gra~a”
When Partner roared, black light surrounds Alo again.
Partner immediately started using〖Fake Life〗.
This should let Alo evolve again.
A “hissss” sound, as if something is burning, is heard.
Is this a good thing? Should we stop?
“………… ~Ah”
Inside the black light, I heard a soft voice.
But, Alo is a bone, so she shouldn’t be able to speak without proper vocal cords.
Partner’s focus heightens and the black light intensifies.
And, when the black light dispersed, a human child appeared before me.
The same height as Wight, and seeing her wearing a worn out Lithuvar Tribe clothing, she’s definitely Alo.
The long bangs on her hair completely covers her eyes.
Her hair looks dry, as if it has no water.
The skin tone of her face, hands, and feet are the same as the ground.
It’s like the skin is about to crumble if you touch it.
But, at least she has flesh now. She’s not just bones anymore.
Although I’m not sure if that counts as skin since it looks like soil.
Alo puts her hand on her head, then touches her hair and face.
She then stood still and just kept staring at her hand.
From the eyes of a normal person, it may seem like a horrid appearance. But she’s, without a doubt, getting closer to being human.
Alo tries to speak and her mouth slightly (?) crumbles as she moves it.
I guess… she can’t speak quite well yet.
I’ll just check her status for now.

Hoh! Her skill levels went up too!
The ones that increased are…… one special skill and two regular skills, huh.
She also got new skills. Hmm… I know what〖Self-Regeneration〗is, but〖Earth Doll〗and〖Morphed Body〗 are new to me.
I should check out her new species as well.
【〖Revana Mage〗: Rank D monster】
【It has greater magic power out of all〖Revana〗as they are able to manipulate magic itself.】
【Since it has the ability to call more of its kind, it is said that if you spot one, you must kill on the spot.】
K-Kill on the spot, I see. Although Alo’s already dead, but oh well.
I definitely can’t let anyone see Alo like this.
We’ve been like that until now, but this time it’s more serious, they won’t stop searching for Alo until they’ve confirmed her elimination.
I’m also curious what〖Revana〗means.
Can I check out its meaning?
【〖Revana〗: Rank D- monster】
【An undead monster that gives life to earth.】
【A〖Revana〗that contains a strong desire for living flesh has more varied options for evolution.】
I see.
I thought it looked like the earth, so her flesh is made out of soil then?
…… Even so, a strong desire for living flesh, huh.
I don’t want to think of it in a harsh way, but……
No, there’s no point in thinking about it now.
I should’ve already expected something like this before.
I don’t know what the future holds, but I apologize for letting Partner revive you with〖Fake Life〗while you were resting in peace.
This only strengthens my resolve. Now that it’s come to this, I’ll definitely return Alo’s humanity again for being responsible with tampering your life and all.
I know the feeling of suddenly ending up as a monster in your second life.
And, though this may just be a fleeting emotion, but at least I know there’s someone else out there who’s the same as me.
Anyways, now that she’s steadily turning human again, the next evolutions may become… a bit troubling.
If something goes wrong, we might give Alo a body that doesn’t resemble the Lithuvar Tribe at all.
Alo sees me internally panicking and leans on me.
Some bits of soil falls off from Alo’s neck as she bends and rests her head beside me.
Everything will be all right, Alo.
I promise, no matter what, I’ll protect you.
