"Shi, or..."

Speaking of corpse ghosts, they are strong demons there, but not much to see.

As Lorraine explained, a corpse ghost (shiki) is a family member of a vampire (vampire), so it is said that if a vampire (vampire) does not make it, it will not occur.

As proof of this, it is not first placed in the labyrinth and the corpse ghost (shimi) springs (pop), but it is from the lower vampire (lesser vampire) who springs (pop) in the vampire (vampire) relationship.

It's a fairly rare monster.

That said, no one has ever seen it or anything extreme like it, and it is confirmed for a while in the area where vampires (vampires) live.

However, it is assumed that this was done by people being bitten by vampires (vampires), and that it was not originally born as a corpse ghost.

"Oh, I've been asked to crusade a corpse ghost several times. You're very, very similar to what I saw then. Of course, the way that meat is chosen is slightly different... well, it would be individual."

Lorraine is also a scholar who knows more about demons.

I have to assume it's a fairly believable story than she identifies as being.

But I wasn't bitten by a vampire.

And yet, why is it evolving in corpse ghosts?

In the first place, is the evolution of existence from a corpse eater (ghoul) to a corpse ghost (shiki) a normal thing?

I have doubts about the area, so I ask.

"... is that what you can be?

But about this, I didn't seem to know very well about doing Lorraine.

Shake your head loose,

"I told you. As for existential evolution, research is still on the way. I don't even know the usual thing about it. Pretty special… probably not easy to answer about the evolution of beings like you"

That's what I said.

Sure, that would be it.

I don't even know him very well.

That can't be easy to tell.

but then it is troubling.

I think so and hold my head.

I confirmed that. Lorraine looked at it, and you felt pity for me, and went on.

"Well...... but I wasn't playing all the time either while you were at the labyrinth. I've thought about it a lot. That's about it, we can talk, okay?

Like that.

Of course, you can't say no.

The usefulness of Lorraine's hypothesis of saying so is well known over the past decade of dating.

I asked her to talk to me.

"Okay, then let's talk... well, even if you say no, I'll talk to you on my own"

That's what I say and laugh at Lorraine.

"I think it's easier for me to tell you where I've been talking from... but for now, it's easier for me to tell you about your evolution. I didn't see it, but Lent, you, you were a skeleton in the beginning, right?

"Oh... as much as I wanted to show you, but it's not like I can stay away. Whatever it was, it was soaked. It was because of Jibu-no-ho, and because of Jibu-no-ho..."

Lorraine gives me a slightly shuddered look as I recall, but I immediately get back on my mind and keep going.

"So I became a corpse-eating ghost."

"Oh, you know what I'm talking about."

"Oh... I felt strange the first time I saw it, but I also thought it was interesting... And what do you think of me? More than that, it's a reflection on evolution. You didn't think it was weird in the first place to be a skeleton to a corpse-eating ghost?

"Hmm...?

I tilt my neck to the question that was thrown all the time.

Lorraine looks at me like that and explains that she doesn't understand the meaning of the question.

"That is. Existential evolution, in brief, would refer to the phenomenon of a demon changing into a superior being. It may not really be, but it is defined that way once and for all. How about this far?

"Ah."

"So think about it. Is it just a corpse-eating ghost (ghoul) who has a superior presence in a boner (skeleton)?

"Uh..."

When I was told, it felt a little odd.

I didn't have a big question because I read the research books, demon drawings, etc. in this room, and there was a statement that boners (skeletons) would be corpse-eating ghosts (ghouls), but I thought about it again...

In the first place, bone people (skeletons) have a variety of superiors.

The same goes for bone giants (giant skeletons) who were set to fight during this time, as well as bone knights (skeleton nights) and bone soldiers (skeleton soldiers), given the weaker ones.

If they evolve from skeletons, it feels natural to become them.

No, it also creates a new question as to whether demonic existence evolution is natural in the first place... well, let's put that aside now.

In the meantime, when I told Lorraine what I thought, she did or nodded.

"Exactly. It is true that some laboratories sometimes say that they evolve from boners (skeletons) to corpse-eating ghosts (ghouls) (...), but that is not why it is absolute. I mean, just because someone has seen a phenomenon like that, I honestly don't know if that's an inherent existential evolution or even an exception..."

"In other words?"

"... if you say so, you don't know anything."

You said too much, Lorraine, and you thought it was passed on.

"... but. This time, including the fact that you've become a corpse ghost, I wonder if this might be the case."

"What's that?

"Evolution of the existence of a demon means that the demon wants to be, doesn't it?"

That was... I don't know, but it was a story.

In the first place, when I went from being a boner (skeleton) to a corpse-eating ghost (ghoul), I always wanted to be.

Even when I became a corpse ghost I wanted to be a vampire who looked like a human being.

I guess so, that's why.

However, if there is any doubt......

"... why, guru, from, shi, to? Bampa, you could have been."

I wanted to be that way in the first place, so shouldn't I be if I can be what I can be?

But Lorraine gives me a clear answer to this.

"Isn't that the same as the rank of the Adventurers' Union? No matter how powerful you are, you can suddenly fly from iron to gold. In the first place, you have to be strong."

In the meantime, I...

"... heck, one thing, there is...?

"To see how you are now, I think so. Too few samples, really. It's just a hypothesis. Although there have been recent experiments with the evolution of mice (Petite Suri),"

A mouse (Petite Shrimp) is a small rat-shaped demon that is everywhere and is easy to catch.

It is also a famous demon for having superior individuals with various attributes depending on the location.

So they've done experiments before.

Lorraine continues.

"It's a simple experiment. It's an experiment where you put a few mice (petite squirrels) in a basket and grow them in volcanic areas, on the water, in forests, in caves, etc. As a result, each of them seems to have become interesting."

When asked in detail, the mice (Petit Suri) had evolved into fire rats (Hu Suri), water rats (O Suri), wind rats (Van Suri) and earth rats (Sol Suri), respectively.

Every basket seemed to have one at a time, but I know why now.

Mice (petite squirrels) fought each other, probably because they absorbed each other's power.

But as a result, the evolution of existence was confirmed.

Lorraine says.

"Of course, this won't be the only story I've ever talked about. Just adapted to the environment, maybe. But it didn't evolve passively, if it was caused by the demon himself wanting to be? It may be a leap of logic, but I thought it was possible to think of you. Anyway, it's hard to explain that you've become a corpse-eating ghost (ghoul) to adapt to the labyrinth environment of the Water Moon. Then, based on will, it is still more understandable. As a matter of fact, you were thinking of becoming a corpse eater (ghoul). It won't be convincing... of course not."
