Making new friends is good and all, but will everyone get along?
I had such a worry for a bit, but it was quickly dispelled.
The ogres who have evolved into Oni.
Perhaps as they evolve closer to their ancestors they’ll unlock some special powers.
I know I said that it seemed like their powers surpassed A rank, but as their powers stabilize, they could end up falling down to A-.
Even so, they have clearly become very strong.
And furthermore, in a battle, perhaps more than physical prowess, special abilities are the key to victory.
I, myself, defeated Ifrit thanks to abilities.
So I must admit, I am rather interested in what kind of abilities their bodies hold.
Also, because of the evolution, the clothing they wore doesn’t fit them at all.
Since their bodies shrunk (though they are still bigger than the goblins) the sizes are too big.
Their armor broken, and their weapons chipped and cracked.
Curiously, they had dressed looking like soldiers fleeing from a battlefield.
And since their sense of style I found curious, I decided to ask
「Ay! Some 400 years ago, a young lad wandered into our village.
The villagers were suspicious, but the Chief warmly welcomed him.
Around the same time, a lesser dragon was rampaging in the forest. After expressing his gratitude, the lad defeated the dragon.
The villagers hallowed his name, and passed down his praise to us.
We began imitating the lad’s attire, and that has been how we dressed ever since.」
And that’s how it is.
They imitated his equipment and successfully recreated it?
