The forty-meter-high bronze gate made Otosaka Souji realize that it was impossible for him to push it open by his own strength.
However, Otosaka Souji, who possesses the power of teleportation, does not need to push the door open.
With just a little use of his time-traveling power, he could easily pass through the bronze gate and exit the sealed cave.
Behind the gate lies a vast forest.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the trees, casting straight rays that created yellow-white spots on the ground.
This is the Darwin effect; light travels in straight lines.
Light travels in a straight line through the gaps between the leaves, eventually forming a circle of light that radiates onto the ground.
Otosaka Souji, upon emerging from the sealed cave, felt that the sunlight was not glaring, but rather warm.
The sun cast a pale yellow light, turning the Jura Forest into a golden hue.
There were many small and large birds on the branches; these were all very weak monsters.
It is at the bottom of the food chain.
Without wisdom, one can only survive by instinct.
The birds chirped and chattered peacefully in the branches and in the sky.
Otosaka Souji relaxed as he heard the birds' cheerful chirping.
The oppressive atmosphere that had accumulated in the dimly lit, sealed cave was completely released at this moment.
Otosaka Souji walked slowly through the woods.
The birds are also very wary of humans who suddenly appear here.
Whenever Otosaka Souji approaches a tree, the birds on the tree fly away to the next tree, or even fly away into the sky.
These birds are still very afraid of Otosaka Souji.
After all, Otosaka Souji doesn't have skills like animal affinity, so she can't make animals feel friendly or affectionate as soon as they meet.
Otosaka Souji wandered around for a while but didn't find any powerful monsters in the vicinity.
It seems that some intelligent and powerful monsters dare not approach the sealed cave because of the magical energy emanating from the nearby Veldora.
The forest surrounding the sealed cave is inhabited by birds, monkeys, deer, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, spores, and other non-aggressive monsters.
These lowest-level monsters only knew that there were no prey nearby, so they settled down here.
They were unaware that the most powerful monster in the entire Jura Forest resided here.
It's probably because it's too low-level that it can't sense Veldora's massive magic power.
I must say, chipmunks and roe deer are undeniably adorable.
The chipmunk's mouth was full of nuts, and its chubby little face was quite adorable.
Moreover, he is not afraid of Otosaka Souji.
I imagine this little guy is thinking to himself.
"Who is this guy? How come he's so big?"
"Come closer, let me see what's wrong with him."
The little chipmunk jumped directly from the tree branch onto Otosaka Souji's shoulder.
Its fluffy tail, black stripes, and its innocent, naive, yet curious expression.
All of these points indicate that this is a purebred chipmunk.
The pouty mouth must be stuffed full of all kinds of nuts.
Otosaka Souji saw a chipmunk that wasn't afraid of him and even dared to pick up a chipmunk from his shoulder.
This means the little guy is very brave.
So Otosaka Souji picked up a nut from the ground and gave it to it.
The little guy wasn't shy at all; he just took it and put it in his mouth.
Perhaps it's because there aren't any large monsters or predators in the vicinity.
That's why it doesn't seem afraid of Otosaka Souji.
Otosaka Souji saw the small chipmunk in front of him with its chubby mouth and thought it was very cute.
A thought unexpectedly arose in my mind that I wanted to keep it by my side.
Otosaka Souji reached out to touch the little chipmunk.
The chipmunk first took a step back, but did not completely avoid the danger.
When Otosaka Souji touched the chipmunk, he slid his hand backward along the direction of its fur.
At this point, the little chipmunks stopped moving and instead showed an expression of enjoyment.
Otosaka Souji stroked it with his hand and asked it in a low voice.
"Little guy, do you want to come with me? I'll make sure you live a life of luxury."
The little chipmunk seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to understand.
It paused when Otosaka Souji was speaking, and then started touching its chubby lips again.
It seems that the nut hasn't been put in the right place yet, and it's still adjusting the position of the nut in its mouth.
Seeing that the chipmunk didn't react, Otosaka Souji continued.
"Ahem, since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as your consent and agreement."
Otosaka Souji is being inhuman; how could a little chipmunk possibly speak?
If you want to force someone to be your pet, then go ahead and force them, but pretend to ask them if they agree.
If it disagrees, it can't say anything; it can only refuse.
How dare they bully a tiny chipmunk that can't speak in broad daylight!
At this moment, Otosaka Souji muttered to himself again.
"Alright, since you agree, I'll give you a name."
"How about you call yourself Otosaka Pichiu from now on?"
"Well, since you're not saying anything, it means you agree."
"From now on, I'll call you Otosaka Pichu."
From the moment Otosaka Souji confirmed the name.
A surge of magical energy emerged from Otosaka Souji's body and enveloped the chipmunk.
Then, the chipmunk, enveloped in magic essence, radiated a golden light.
The name Otosaka Pichu is like an indelible mark, etched into the little chipmunk's soul.
At that moment, the sound of the world rang in the ears of both the little chipmunk and Otosaka Souji.
"Congratulations on successfully naming your pet 'Otosaka Pichu'."
"Congratulations on becoming a named monster."
"Information: Congratulations on the significant increase in magic power of the individual named 'Otosaka Pika'."
"Information: Congratulations to the individual named 'Otosaka Pichu' for acquiring the skill 'Lightning Element Control'."
"Information: Congratulations to the individual named 'Otosaka Pika' for acquiring the skill 'Lightning Resistance'."
"Information: Congratulations to the individual named 'Otosaka Pika' for becoming a high-level monster."
As the golden light faded, Otosaka Pikachu grew larger.
It is no longer the original black striped creature; the stripes on its body have become alternating between black and yellow.
The front half of its tail was yellow, but the back half turned black.
Moreover, its tail has become somewhat curved, resembling a lightning bolt shape.
As Otosaka Pikachu became a high-level monster, her intelligence also increased significantly.
She is no longer the naive and clueless girl she used to be.
Her two bright, sparkling eyes always conveyed an air of great wisdom.
The first thing he did after evolving into a high-level monster was to speak to Otosaka Souji.
"You are my master."
Hearing that soft and cute voice.
Otosaka Souji was also surprised that this chipmunk was female.
This is a map of the Jura Forest.
