While all of this was happening, Aquarina had been watching in awe and silence for quite some time. She had been incredibly patient, letting me do whatever I wanted, to the point that I felt a little guilty for possibly ignoring her.
"Sorry for delaying the hunt so much," I said, kissing her lips. "Let's begin, alright?"
"Eh? But what about your other familiars? Shouldn't you evolve them all right away?" she wondered.
"Maybe, but they take so long that I'll do it between battles," I said. "I also… Ugh, I haven't fulfilled Strength's conditions yet. Let's see what they are?"
As I rested my head on her shoulder, I checked the requirements while Strength manifested beside me.
