Chapter 186 Daughter's(Adopted) Evolution
"Icicle Spear!"
After Yuki invoked her magic spell, a slid cold spear of ice two meters long was summoned and fastly flew toward an incoming black, furry wolf monster called Barghest. Confronting the intruder of the dungeon, the Barghest took the spear head-on, which burst its head and resulted in its absolute cessation of life.
"Fireballs!"
She turned around and sent four spheres of scorching fire that were aimed at the Black Treants rushing behind her. The tree monsters took contact with their weakness and collapsed to the sand burning.
"Aw man. No need to burn the logs, you know?"
"I deeply apologized on behalf of my daughter, Master."
"Ah. Needless to say, do not worry about that, Inari. I have large stocks of it, and they can respawn here limitlessly, so a few firewoods could not hurt."
Right now, Inari and I are on the 59th Floor of the dungeon and watching Yuki slay some monsters. I have a lot of free time, so I visited the dungeon today to spend some time with the others.
This morning, Mary told me that she had discovered my forbidden relationship with my own mothers, which I did not deny. That was why I used my authority as her master and took advantage of her.
Going back to Yuki, we were currently here for a certain reason, as Yuki was solely killing the monsters on this Floor. Because today would be the day when Yuki would reach Level 700 and grow a tail. Of course, all of us were excited to see Yuki grow up.
"Wind Disk!"
Yuki then raised her right hand and summoned a five meter spinning disk of sharp and turbulent winds above her palm. She threw it away, aimed at the monster in front of her, and neatly sliced the throat of a Tyrant Lizard and the lives of the monsters behind it with a Level 8 Wind Magic spell.
The Wind Disk was a spell that conjured a cyclone but was made out of pure compressed winds instead of clouds. Aside from its destructive AOE damage, the Wind Disk had a homing feature that chased its target and destroyed almost everything on its path until it hit the target.
Technically, since Yuki was a monster, she did not need to recite the name of the spell. When I asked her about that, she said that she looked so cool whenever she did that. I just let her do what she wants since I find it adorable.
"Master, Yuki has reached Level 700!"
Yuki then ran towards me after her announcement and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"Congratulations, Yuki. You had done a job well done." I patted her head as she clung to my body.
Once she had done with me, Yuki embraced her mother, Inari, which made Inari pat her head as she was congratulating her daughter on her new milestone.
"Huh?"
"Could it be—?"
And suddenly, the small bodies of Yuki began to glow. In a flash, her entire body had been covered with blinding lights, which narrowed and covered our eyes from the brightness. Yuki continued to glow more intensely until we could not see a skin of hers.
As if reaching the end, the lights weakened, and then Yuki was unveiled before us afterwards. Once we laid our eyes on her, we could see significant changes in her body.
"Yuki?" Inari asked.
"What gives, mother?" Yuki said as she tilted her head.
"Good grief." Inari let out a sigh of relief. "You are still my daughter."
In front of us was Yuki, but her body had gone through several changes. Since I experienced inconvenience when I evolved before, let me ask Yuki about her condition before anything else.
"Now that Yuki has fulfilled the requirement for her to evolve herself, how are you feeling?"
"Um, nothing so far, Master." She said that and then let go of her mother to look at her own body. "But I felt a little stronger than before."
"I see. That is really good to hear, Yuki."
During my evolution, I fell asleep as soon as I reached a thousand levels. My body felt so sluggish and heavy at that time that Inari was almost killed by Czarina if I had not gotten up early.
But today, Yuki seemed to have no trouble at all enduring it and maintaining full consciousness. The reason was probably because the evolution did not gain much power, and she would be growing a tail after all.
(For now, let me check her stats again...)

===============
Okay. Her race had changed from Tailed Beast (Five Tails) to Tailed Beast (Six Tails). So obviously, she would have six tails in her monster form until her next evolution.
As for her physical appearance as a human, Yuki had changed drastically and now looked like a 7th grader, still far enough for me to see her in a romantic way. She was taller than before, but she was still her.
Yuki had gotten more powerful than she was a minute ago. Even though nothing had changed on her skill board after her evolution, there were significant changes compared to before she started her own training.
Aside from the training, I had bestowed upon her two skills, but all of those were for her transformation. In total, I had given her three skills, but I had to retake the Anthropomorphization extra skill since it was already useless due to the effectiveness of the Personification.
She now had the Regeneration extra skill after constantly getting injured from her mock battles and monster slaying. With her magic lessons with her mother and myself, her magic vocabulary had broadened remarkably, and she was now able to perform magic spells more skillfully.
Being focused solely on magic was already good, but she had to learn how to fight effectively in every situation. That was why Inari and I had been teaching her how to fight in close combat.
Inari taught her how to use her body in her true form, while I partially guided her to use the weapons of her choice. Apparently, Yuki chose to wield a bow and a sword, specifically, a katana.
But Yuki was more inclined toward marksmanship than swordsmanship. She was just using her sword as a last resort, which was historically accurate.
Her little sword was, of course, forged in your service. Her current sword was temporary, so it was only made of pure dungeon mithrill. Her main sword was still in the process.
"Okay, Yuki. Show me your tails."
"Got it, Master!"
As per my order, Yuki activated the Partial Transformation upon her body, and fluffy, silver tails rapidly sprouted out of the back of her hips. Soon after, Yuki stood before me with her six tails in her human form.
"Wow. You really looked cute in that form, Yuki."
"Thank you, Master..." Yuki bashfully said as she covered her lower face with one of her bushy and fluffy silver tails.
With the activation of the Partial Transformation, Yuki could be mistaken for a beastwoman, though I am not sure if fox beastmen exist. She could grow fox ears as well, but I preferred them not to since they would have four ears.
"Master," Inari suddenly called me, to which I shifted my attention to her. "It seemed like you liked to see us in this form. So how do I look?"
"You are surely magnificent, Inari."
When I turned around, I saw Inari had grown her ten majestic tails out of her hips. Each of her tails was definitely a lot fluffier and larger than Yuki's, and their silver hue was shining even under the sun. In response to that, I went to her back and then wrapped myself in the fluffiness of her tails.
"Ahh... so comfortable..."
I am not a furry person, but I love the sensation of her tails. There were even some times when I had her manifest her tails during beds. But Czarina seemed to be annoyed with them.
"I am glad you enjoyed my tails that much, Master."
After she said that, Inari maneuvered each of her tails and embraced me one by one, wrapping me in their tenderness and warmth. By the way, Inari and Yuki could control each of their tails using the Parallel Thinking.
"Okay," I snapped back. "Let us stop this now before we get derailed."
"If Master says so..."
Then Inari undid her embrace. After I finally escaped from the temptations, I got back to my previous position and faced the mother and daughter.
"The evolution of Yuki had been done." I said that and then looked at Yuki. "So keep up the good work and grow up faster."
"Yes, Master!"
"Well then, let's go now and show others the new Yuki."
"Yes, Master!"
