Michael stared at them one by one, then spoke aloud, slowly.
"…Can any of you talk?"
A long pause followed.
Then—
"Yessss…"
The voice came from Lucky.
Raspy and low.
The others followed soon after.
"Can… speak," Gale said next, his voice smoother.
Prince took a moment, then grunted, "…Hard. But yes."
Beginning and Lily looked at him for a moment.
When Lily finally spoke, it was almost flawless.
"We can."
Her voice was soft and elegant.
Beginning followed, his deeper tone like rolling earth.
"Yes."
Was it because these two spent more time with people, or more specifically, his family, that they were like this?
Michael's brows rose again.
These five had changed indeed.
Whether it was the [Transformation] skill, or just another aspect of their Rank 3 evolution—he wasn't sure yet.
Still, their words weren't fluent.
They could speak.
But through their connection, he could tell they still preferred their mental link.
Michael was satisfied with his class item.
