271 – Varieties (2)
Soul World is quite difficult in terms of difficulty.
No matter how stagnant the water is, growth often stagnates, so efforts are made to overcome it.
And the ability most often used to overcome this is the eyes. A special ability that only the protagonist has.
At first, you can only understand the explanation, but as time goes by, your abilities will greatly strengthen.
Currently, Luna can see the abilities of others, as well as knowing various ‘potentials’, etc.
In particular, potential is very important, and many aspects can be considered when recruiting colleagues.
I was able to understand how far that person’s limitations can extend. It is a kind of editor.
In addition, if it develops further, you can even get a glimpse of the person’s personality or skills. There are many places where it is used in many ways.
In my case, I have memorized it, so I can identify useful people in advance. But this is not Luna now.
“Suck! Suck!”
“Loyalty? There is something like this. What is this? The potential is good, but loyalty is low.”
“··· ···”
Luna checked her breeds one by one with her eyes shining. She seems to know what she’s looking at.
There is a high probability that you are looking at the so-called ‘hidden’. It is a special ability that does not even appear in the status window.
Hidden is not a stat like strength or agility, but a personality aspect. An example is the loyalty she just mentioned.
Also, sincerity, temperament, patience, etc. The higher this stat, the higher the growth rate.
‘It’s a kind of privilege.’
A privilege that only the protagonists of this world can have. Even I, who has a status window, find it difficult to understand.
As I said before, because I know the future, I can roughly infer that person’s personality. So I didn’t pay much attention to it.
But even if development is fast, it is too fast. It is at least after the collapse of the Academy that the original potential and even hidden information can be confirmed.
Luna’s eyes improved with each episode. This situation raises questions in many ways.
“Okay. I’ll go with this one. I like this one best.”
“······Luna.”
“Huh?”
“Since when?”
I asked Luna who chose a bird. Since when could she see things like that?
Luna slowly closed her eyes, tilted her head, and asked back.
“What?”
“Just loyalty. Can you see that?”
“Yes. I could see it? Why?”
“Umm…”
Even though the growth is fast, it is too fast. I let out a sigh.
It’s good that Luna is growing quickly, but her strange abilities are developing.
Right now, it is better to sharpen basic skills rather than those skills.
‘But it’s not completely useless.’
I looked at Luna. She is hugging her baby bird with its small body.
I’m not sure how far her growth will continue, but I don’t think there will be any major problems right now.
Aren’t you still busy selecting varieties? It is unclear whether I should say that it is being used for good purposes or that it is useless.
‘If you raise it well, you will be able to get a wild horse.’
You can also obtain vehicles in Soul World, and there are many different types.
Starting with the basics, there are things Luna wants to do, including flying cars, and even cars.
Of course, for convenience, most people choose horses. Birds are difficult to place and difficult to raise.
In that sense, will you help Luna? That’s not it. She said she chose it herself, why should I help her?
“Kien.”
“··· ···”
Instead, there is one animal that is keeping an eye on. This is a raccoon that is currently picking something up from the floor.
How much potential does this raccoon have? First of all, it is clear that my head works well.
‘But what on earth are you picking up?’
I stuck my head out and looked at the raccoon’s hand. Seeing how hard they are picking it up, it seems to be quite important.
“Nnyomnyomnyom.”
You must have been very hungry. The raccoon was eating bugs that were crawling between the nests.
Because the nest is large, there are quite a lot of bugs.
It didn’t eat the heart and liver of the saber-toothed tiger earlier, so it appears to be a herbivore as expected.
“Luna.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Suck! Suck!”
It was time to call Luna to check the potential of the raccoon.
I couldn’t help but be devastated as I looked back and forth between her and her baby bird.
It seems like we were interacting just a moment ago, but not at all now.
The baby bird was swallowing Luna’s head with its mouth, which was larger than expected.
Could it be that she thinks of Luna as her prey? If that’s the case, I can never take you with me.
“Can you go away for a moment? I’ll play with you later.”
“Tap! Ttip! Ttip!”
Fortunately, that seems to have been unfounded. At Luna’s request, the baby bird flew away.
Other baby birds are busy crying for their mother bird, who is already a cold corpse, but this bird is strange.
The mother bird seems to be busy welcoming its new owner. This is a common occurrence in the wild.
“So why did I call you?”
“Hey.”
“Kheng?”
I picked up the raccoon dog that was cuddling. Perhaps because he is gentle, he didn’t resist even when I held him.
It looks quite cute, so it will be fine if you take it in and raise it. A pet in the true sense of the word.
Why, isn’t there something like that in the game? Picking up items that have fallen in unexpected places.
This raccoon will just have to learn that. Pets existed in Soul World as well, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
“Please take a look at him too.”
“What? With my eyes?”
“Yeah. I can’t see it.”
“Okay. Uhm…”
Luna stared intently at the raccoon I lifted.
The raccoon also turned his head towards her, as if the gaze was quite burdensome. When I saw this, I was confused as to whether it was a person.
“Is it good? His sincerity is high and his loyalty is quite high. He’s also strong-willed.”
“What else?”
“Everything else is normal. Are you taking him away?”
I nodded. There will be a lot of hardships ahead, so having a pet is essential.
Luna looked back and forth between me and the raccoon with her strange face, and then she asked a question.
“Did you come up with a name?”
“And you?”
“I did it right away. It’s Pidgeot, isn’t it okay?”
“Uh…”
As soon as I heard the name, I looked at the baby bird. As if he had already obeyed, he was standing right next to Luna.
When I hear the name, I think I will abandon it rather than raise it well. Given Luna’s personality, wouldn’t she say ‘I forgot’?
More than that, I wonder why they named it Pidgeot. What does it mean?
“Is there a meaning?”
“Yes. It was named after the bird that the teacher raised. That bird’s name was Pidgeot.”
It means Pigeon mk.2. It felt very insincere.
But at the same time, I could understand it. To Luna, her teacher is like family.
In the future, she still had time left until she met that teacher. Still, Luna did not forget her teacher.
“Have you decided?”
“Yes.”
“What is it?”
I came face to face with the raccoon I was holding. He looks a little confused.
“You’re crazy.”
“Keeng?”
“Your beak?”
“Yes.”
Porori is Porori because he is a squirrel, and Neoburi is Neoburi because he is a raccoon.
Even though my naming sense is hopeless, there is nothing that suits me better than this.
‘If there are sea otters later…’
If that’s really the case, I should name it Bonobono.
“Isn’t that too rough? What’s the difference between it and a raccoon?”
“……”
Or should I call Luna Bonobono? Even now, I still call her Luna Luna in my heart.
I put down the raccoon dog I was holding. I guess I’ve chosen all the pets(?), All that’s left is to get out of the nest.
If you get this high, you can land sufficiently. Although I need to strengthen my body just in case.
“But Luna.”
“Huh?”
“How are you going to get her?”
The problem is the baby bird, that is, Pidgeot.
Even if it is a baby bird, it is very difficult to move because it is as big as a person.
If you are not careful, you may fall down instead of getting out of the nest. Then you die instantly.
Luna also seemed to be thinking about whether she had thought about this part. She then looked at Pidgeot Two.
As soon as Pidgeot Two faced Luna, she tilted her head. As if he had anything to say.
“Pidgeot.”
“Tweet?”
“Can you fly now?”
“Are you talking to a bird?”
I was so upset and angry. No matter how smart you are, you probably won’t be able to understand people.
In fact, as soon as Pidgeot heard Luna’s words, she tilted her head. Luna smiled shyly at this.
“Of course it won’t work, right? Should I just drop it? Even a lion drops her cubs off a cliff.”
“…He’s not your kid.”
At this point, I started to get scared of her. In fact, she had this talent from the beginning.
She must have said it as a joke. Basically, Luna is good.
However, due to the combination of its unique snout, shocking stories emerged every time.
The good news is that it has never actually been done. If that had really been the case, wouldn’t we have grown apart?
“Then…”
Luna took a close look at Pidgeotto and other baby birds.
It looks like the bird still hasn’t figured out the situation as it opens its beak and squeaks at the already dead mother bird.
Afterwards, she examined each bird in detail and exclaimed, “Ah!”

“There is one good way.”
“What is it?”
The words that came out of Luna’s mouth were:
“Drop the birds one by one and choose the one that survives.”
“……”
“Or throw the entire nest down? Isn’t it you, Sivar, that can do it?”
Is that wild or just pure evil?
My mouth dropped open at the unimaginable statement even in the wild.
I guess I think it’s efficient. But she could not describe the evil.
“…It’s a joke, right?”
“Why not? They’re all going to die anyway.”
“…..”
Oh my god.
It is pure evil itself. Is that why Chaos is also reluctant?
Oh god
