The light of evolution that appears when a monster evolves.
At the mont the light appears, the monster’s body transforms into the form it is set to evolve into.
‘Amazing!’
Enveloped in the shining light, the sli shouted its thoughts internally.
Its body was changing.
How else could it describe that sensation besides calling it amazing?
Once the light faded, the sli imdiately wanted to check how different its body felt.
‘I want to see!’
The sli quickly checked its body through the third-person view in the broadcast window.
‘......?’
And upon seeing its reflected image, the sli tilted its body in confusion.
Because barely anything had changed!
If it had to point out a difference, its body had beco a bit more elastic, and the light green sli surface appeared shinier.
And the viewers also felt the sa—like nothing had changed.
▶Did it really evolve?
▶Nothing looks different.
▶It looks just a tiny bit bouncier.
▶Ooooo?
▶Bouncy?
▶Like your belly?
Seeing the seemingly unchanged sli, the Sli Queen asked,
[Squishy Queen]▶ My kin! What did you choose? Speak!
▷Bounce Sli! That’s what I picked!
[Just Slam First] ▶Hahaha! So you went with Body Slamming again, Squishy! That’s clearly thanks to my teachings!
[Thread-Lady]▶ It’s a sha you didn’t choose poison~ but you’re still super cute, Squishy-nim!
[Free Spirit]▶ Squishy-nim! Why did you choose Bounce Sli?
Relieved by the sli choosing Bounce Sli, Troll asked about its motivation, hoping to use it for the next evolution.
▷I wanted to jump fast! I wanted to jump a lot!
▷I’ll run fast and catch a deer!
▶Lolllll
▶Still bitter about losing a race to that deer Lol
[Noblesse Fire]▶ Hey, since you’ve evolved, give it a try. Let’s see how fast you’ve beco.
Troll wasn’t interested in the motivation, just eager to see the change.
And coincidentally, that demand matched exactly what the sli had in mind.
It had confird its appearance, but externally, there weren’t many changes.
Still, there was definitely a sense that it had changed.
So the only thing left was to move and feel the difference!
The sli started bouncing in place like it usually did.
Boing! Boing!
‘Waaah!’
The mont it moved, the sli could clearly feel the evolution.
The height of its jumps had noticeably increased.
Not only that, but the force in each jump was also much stronger.
As a result—
The deer that had been beneath the sli now had its head driven deeper into the ground.
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶ Squishy? The deer’s head has been stuck in the ground for a while now?
A dragon, who had never paid much attention to the detail before, pointed it out.
‘Deer?’
At that comnt in the chat, the sli finally looked down beneath itself.
‘Deer!’
Now, only the antlers of the deer buried in the dirt were visible.
***
‘Kuhuhuhu! Now I’ve got even more to teach!’
Fenrir felt like he’d just claid a victory after the sli evolved into Bounce Sli.
Lately, the family atmosphere had shifted, with no one properly listening to him.
Not just the kids—even his own spouse had started giving him looks that seed to say he was pathetic.
Not hate, but not pride either—just an indifferent gaze!
That stabbed Fenrir in the heart even more.
Thankfully, whenever he looked at Squishy, he could forget those emotional wounds.
‘What should I teach next?
Now that it’s faster, moving swiftly in all directions to disorient the enemy would be great...
Or maybe using a quick strike to eliminate the opponent in one shot!’
-Heh, hehehehehe!
In Fenrir’s eyes, the sli devouring the deer could be seen.
‘Yes! Eat lots and grow even more! Then I’ll teach you how to hunt better, Squishy!’
As he smiled, thinking of how to tailor the training for Squishy, his kids were watching from behind.
-Dad’s laughing weird by himself again...
-Go talk to him. Ask what he’s looking at.
-No way, too annoying. If you’re curious, you go.
-I don’t want to either. If I talk to him, he’ll ask if I want to go hunting again.
-Then just go.
-Dad doesn’t stop hunting until evening once he starts. I have a show I want to watch too!
-What are you all doing? Didn’t Mom say not to whisper behind Dad’s back?
Fenrir’s wife appeared, scolding the kids and making them scatter.
And as she looked at Fenrir, who didn’t react even to her scolding because he was so engrossed in the stream, she let out a quiet sigh.
-Sheesh.
Without him realizing it, Fenrir’s reputation as the head of the household continued to fall.
***
After evolving, the excited sli bounced around wildly, but due to poor control, it made frequent mistakes.
It crashed into trees several tis or misjudged its aim while chasing prey, causing it to fly off in odd directions.
These small errors beca a source of great laughter for the viewers.
▶Lollll Missed again.
▶I did that too after evolving Lol
▶22222
▶33333
▶It takes ti to get used to that
▶▶Ah! Adapta-x!
Many viewers related to the post-evolution clumsiness, turning it into a nostalgic mont.
[Thread-Lady]▶ Hang in there, Squishy!
[Squishy Queen]▶ You can do it! You’ll adapt soon. My kin!
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶ But you’re clearly getting better.
[Just Slam First]▶ Don’t forget the failures—use them to your advantage next ti!
There were also viewers cheering on the sli.
And after several trials and errors, a week had passed since the sli evolved into a Bounce Sli.
Boing! Boing!
The sli had beco skilled at using its newly evolved body.
Because of that, there was a change in how the sli hunted.
Upon spotting a deer, the sli charged straight ahead without hesitation.
Of course, the deer fled as soon as it saw the sli, but having evolved into a Bounce Sli, the sli was now fast enough to keep up with the deer.
And on top of that—
‘Body Slam!’
Boioing!
The sli called it a Body Slam, but to be precise, it was a full-body slam with enhanced elasticity.
Using Bounce Tackle, it struck the deer square in the torso.
Thud!
The deer, hit directly by the Bounce Tackle, was slightly lifted into the air and toppled over to the side.
With this powerful, elastic tackle, the sli could bring down a deer in one hit.
Among monster species, slis are the weakest.
But once they evolve, they beco strong enough that ordinary herbivores are no match for them.
‘Deer!’
As it absorbed the prey it had caught, the sli reflected.
Deer had more nutrients than rabbits, and eating them made its body feel stronger.
In sli terms, that ant they were tastier.
However, even so, the sli felt sothing was lacking.
‘Jerky......’
It was all because of the seasoning.
The seasoning used on jerky was a fascinating and stimulating flavor to the sli.
But even more than the taste of jerky, there was a greater frustration.
‘It’s all the sa!’
The forest where the elf village was located was vast.
So even after traveling for a week, the sli saw nothing but the sa forest scenery.
A forest filled with trees it already knew, animals it already knew, and plants it already knew.
‘I want to see sothing different!’
Just like when it had wanted to leave the cave, the sli now wanted to leave the forest and see other scenery.
Why had the sli co to feel this way?
If it had only ever known the forest, the sli wouldn’t have felt such dissatisfaction.
But the sli had already seen it.
Scenery outside the forest.
Let’s go back to three days earlier.
***
Coincidentally, that ti had fewer viewers watching the sli’s stream.
Since all it was doing was wandering through the vast forest, most viewers had switched to other streams.
With no special events or crises, it was simply boring.
Fenrir took advantage of that mont.
‘Perfect! Everyone else is gone! Now I can really teach!’
[“Just Slam First” has donated 10 coins.]
[ssage: Squishy! From now on, I’ll give you special training!]
▷Special training?
[Just Slam First]▶ It’s training that’ll make you faster and stronger!
▷ Waaah!
The sli didn’t fully understand, but was happy just to learn sothing new.
And one hour passed.
Fenrir felt quite disappointed.
This new training was a preliminary step to mastering a movent technique that would disorient opponents by dashing around in all directions.
The sli was following Fenrir’s instructions, but sothing about it still felt lacking to him.
Still, it wasn’t easy to explain further through chat.
Chatting had its limits.
‘That’s it! That’ll work!’
Fenrir suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
[Just Slam First]▶ Hey! Squishy! Watch my stream!
▷Stream?
[Just Slam First]▶ I’m opening my stream now! Open the stream list and enter the room titled “Body Slam Training!” Got it?
Leaving that ssage, Fenrir exited the chat.
‘Stream list?’
The sli tilted its body.
It had received system knowledge about the stream list.
But that had been more than 10 days ago.
Other than running 1st and 3rd person views simultaneously, checking chat, and typing ntally, the sli had never used any other stream system.
So it couldn’t recall how to use the stream list right away.
‘Stream list! I want to see it!’
[Displaying stream list.]
The system responded to the sli’s wish.
A translucent window appeared in front of the sli, displaying the list of streams.
‘Waaaah!’
Understanding that what it saw was the stream list, the sli recalled the phrase Fenrir had ntioned.
‘Body Slam Training?’
[Searching for a stream titled “Body Slam Training.”]
[Search complete.]
Only one room was displayed in the stream list.
‘This one!’
As the sli focused on the Body Slam Training stream, the system asked for confirmation.
[Would you like to watch the “Body Slam Training” stream?]
‘I want to watch!’
[Connecting to the selected stream.]
‘Waaaaaaah!’
The mont it entered the stream, the sli was amazed.
Because the screen showed things it had never seen before.
A snowy white landscape, completely different from the lush green forest.
The ground was covered in snow that crunched underfoot, and white flakes were falling from the sky .
And in the center of the screen stood a large wolf with silver fur and green eyes, striking a proud and upright pose.
On its forehead was a strange symbol.
“Just Slam First.”
Fenrir was on the screen.
[Squishy]▶ Amazing! So white! So white! First ti seeing this!
The sli imdiately expressed its excitent in chat.
-Kuhahahah! You’re here, Squishy!
Fenrir, who had been waiting in the sa pose until the sli arrived, responded to the sli’s ssage.
On the outside, he let out a howl—Awooo~—but the sli could understand what Fenrir ant through it.
[Squishy]▶ Just Slam First?
-Yes! That’s ! What do you think? First ti seeing , right?
To that eager question, the sli replied exactly as it felt.
[Squishy]▶ Amazing! Amazing! Silver? White! Green! Amazing!
Even with limited vocabulary, its pure joy and admiration were clearly conveyed.
-Kuhahahah! That’s right! I am amazing!
‘Ahhh, this pure admiration and respect! This is exactly it!’
Fenrir truly felt it was worth sneaking out despite his wife asking where he was going.
-All right! Then watch closely, Squishy! I’ll show you my movents directly so you can understand better!
