The weakest tamer, who was expelled because they could only tame the lowest-ranked trash monsters, awakens the "Breeder" ability. Eventually, they become a hero commanding extraordinary divine beasts and mythical creatures. - Chapter 53
**Episode 053: Evolution and Progress**
It had been several months since I last saw the confirmation board for evolution, making it a long-awaited moment. Finally, we’ve reached this point. Recently, Lita, who used to be tense and tremble with fear just by approaching me, now willingly comes close, smiling cheerfully. It seems her trauma has faded considerably, and her affection level has surpassed 80%.
“Lita, are you okay?”
“Yes. But, my body feels weird, desu. Squishy squishy.”
Observing a slight difference in Lita’s behavior compared to Lily and the others, I become a bit concerned. Lita gestures by hugging her own body, seemingly confused by the sensations before her first evolution. This is the first time someone directly spoke to me about the sensation before evolution, and since humans don’t evolve, I’m unsure about the state Lita is in.
To reassure her, I gently pat Lita’s head.
“Big brother…?”
Airi, who had been detached, utters a curious voice from behind, but I ignore it.
“Well, Lita is getting ready to evolve. When you evolve, Lita, you’ll be reborn anew. What do you want to do?”
“Evolve…”
“You can decide however you want, Lita. I won’t be angry no matter what choice you make. The most important thing is your feelings. If you prefer to stay as a G-rank monster, that’s fine too. You’re my precious and adorable Familiar. If you’re happy as you are, that’s what matters the most.”
Lita falls silent, closing her eyes. After a few minutes, she opens her eyes with determination.
“Lita wants to be more helpful to Master.”
“Is that so?”
“Therefore, I want to evolve.”
“Understood. Thank you.”
“Hehe.”
Feeling joy from Lita’s emotions, I pat her head again, causing her to relax her cheeks.
“Well then, shall we proceed with the evolution?”
“Yes.”
For the final confirmation, Lita clenches her fists with determination.
I select “Yes” on the evolution confirmation board.
“Approval granted. Initiating the evolution process for the individual named Lita.”
With a mechanical voice, Lita is enveloped in light, undergoing a transformation. After about thirty seconds, the changes are complete, and the light scatters, revealing the reborn Lita.
Lita, who now appears slightly older, has grown in size. Transparent, iridescent wings with a rainbow-like sheen emerge from her back, and she wears a light green fluttering dress.
“So, this is evolution…”
Wide-eyed, Lita checks her own body in wonder.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, Master. Everything is as it should be.”
After addressing her once the process is over, Lita flexes her muscles and smiles, now speaking a bit more smoothly.
I feel relieved that everything seems fine.

Checking Lita’s status, she has become an Encouragement Fairy. As the name suggests, Encouragement Fairies uplift and inspire people, enhancing their abilities and unleashing greater strength. Through the skill “Encouragement,” Lita can slightly improve the abilities of allies.
This is the support ability I’ve been wishing for.
“Hehe… This is evolution…”
“Hmm? Airi, were you awake?”
Upon hearing a voice from behind, I turn around to find Airi with sparkling eyes. It seems she woke up when I detached.
“Yeah, I saw a monster evolve for the first time! It’s amazing!”
“Indeed.”
It’s not something you witness every day, so it’s natural to be amazed. I understand well, having gone through it myself.
“Is Chloro going to evolve too?”
“Yeah. It can evolve up to A-rank.”
“I’m looking forward to how it will change!”
Airi expresses her excitement unabated.
“Chichichichi!!”
“Pupupupu!!”
“Kukukuku!!”
“Pipipipii!!”
“NyaaNyaaNyaaO!!”
“Thank you, Lily, Paula, Luna, Prue, Chloro.”
Lily and the others joyfully chirp in celebration of Lita, who beams with a smile as if flowers have bloomed.
We lie down again.
However, Airi is wide awake, finding it challenging to fall asleep. I end up keeping her company until she gets sleepy.
“Suu… Suu…”
“Lita, I’ll be counting on you from now on.”
“Yes, leave it to me.”
After Airi falls asleep, I exchange greetings with Lita once again and close my eyelids.
Although Lita evolved this time, considering the easily achievable level and evolution conditions, it seems a second evolution will come quickly.
As I ponder about this, my consciousness descends into darkness.
The next day arrives.
“Well then, you’ll be accepting the escort request, correct?”
I promptly discuss the escort request with the receptionist at the mercenary guild.
“Yes. Do you have a preferable request?”
“Well, how about escorting a merchant departing in three days?”
It seems like a good fit when considering various factors.
“I’ll take that one, please.”
“Understood. The details are written here; please check them.”
“Got it.”
After accepting the escort request, while working as usual in the forest
“Evolution conditions achieved. Would you like to evolve? Yes No.”
The status board appears as expected.
