There was an error in the names of the new tiger species posted yesterday and today.
The correct name is Wind Tiger, not Wing Tiger.
The text has already been corrected.
Just in case, I checked all the floors where familiars were present to see if any new evolutions had occurred besides the Wind Tiger.
Even in the Northwest Tower, which is the smallest type, the number of familiars is quite large, so I can’t say for sure that nothing was missed, but no new evolutions other than the Wind Tiger were found.
So far, the only thing that triggered a Tower LV up appears to be the evolution of the Wind Tiger.
After confirming this, Kousuke and the others returned to the Amamiya Tower Management Layer.
“Ah, how was it?”
Peach greeted Kousuke and the others when they returned to the management layer.
Since Peach manages the Northeast Tower, she is curious about the conditions for evolution.
“Yeah. I checked around and it seems there were no changes other than the Wind Tiger.”
Haku, standing next to Kousuke, nodded vigorously at his words.
“Is that so? Then I guess the evolution is the cause.”
“I think so, but considering everything so far, I don’t think evolution alone is the condition.”
“Right?”
Peach, saying this, tilted her head and pondered.
Even considering Amamiya Tower’s LV up, she expected evolution to be the cause, but she didn’t know the exact conditions.
Although many evolutions have occurred over the past ten years, it is unclear why the Northwest Tower leveled up with the evolution of the Wind Tiger.

“Hmm… I won’t know by just thinking here. Shall we go back to our room for now?”
Kousuke and the others were currently in the room where the Teleport Gate was installed, having just returned from the Northwest Tower.
Peach suggested they return to the Lounge Space and think about it leisurely.
“That’s right. Let’s do that.”
As Kousuke agreed and nodded, the Teleport Gate activated.
It seemed someone was using the Teleport Gate to come to the Management Layer.
“Someone’s coming.”
“Indeed. Who could it be?”
Kousuke nodded at Haku’s words and tilted his head.
There was no one who had made a reservation in advance today.
That’s why they went to investigate the Northwest Tower.
As they were talking, a small girl emerged from the Teleport Gate.
She immediately noticed Kousuke and hugged him.
“Ah. It’s Father. If you’re here, are you going somewhere?”
It was Mia, Kousuke’s child with Floria, who had come to the Management Layer.
Immediately after Mia, Wanri, in her fox form, emerged from the Teleport Gate.
It seemed Wanri had brought Mia with her.
“Mia. What’s wrong? Is studying off today?”
Kousuke, lifting Mia into his arms, was met with a pouting expression.
“It’s my day off! So Wanri brought me here!”
When Kousuke looked at Wanri, who was at his feet, Wanri was nodding her head desperately.
It would be faster if she just took human form and answered, but she seemed to have something on her mind and had no intention of shapeshifting.
“Why are you looking at Wanri?!”
Mia, noticing Kousuke’s gaze, was playfully angry.
It seemed she was dissatisfied that her words weren’t believed.
“Haha. Sorry, sorry.”
“Mmm!”
As Kousuke caressed Mia’s head while holding her, trying to placate her, Mia eventually seemed to cheer up.
“Father, why are you here? Are you going somewhere?”
Mia asked the same question again.
She was hoping to go with them.
Recently, Mia enjoyed seeing various environments in the floors.
“No. We just got back ourselves.”
“Oh. What a shame…”
Kousuke gave a bitter smile at Mia’s obvious disappointment.
“If you want to go somewhere, I can take you?”
“Really!?”
Mia’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Yeah. But where do you want to go, Mia?”
When Kousuke asked this, Mia started tilting her head left and right.
♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦
There are truly various environments within the floors of the Tower.
Even if Mia arbitrarily claimed, “somewhere like this and that,” there would be a matching environment.
“I’ve seen deserts… I’ve seen snow… Hmm, hmm…”
The adults around watched Mia, who was thinking hard, with a gentle gaze.
Meanwhile, Kousuke, still holding Mia, moved to the Lounge Space.
After thinking for a while, Mia suddenly tilted her head and asked Kousuke,
“By the way, where were you going, Father?”
“Huh? Oh. One of the Towers leveled up, so I went to check it out.”
“Leveled up! Where, where?!”
Mia, who is very curious about Towers, already understands that Towers have an LV.
Kousuke feels the same way, like he’s playing a game.
“It was the Northwest Tower. The Tower that Haku manages.”
“The Tower of Wind! Haku, you’re amazing!”
Haku looked slightly bewildered at Mia’s excitement and shook his head slightly left and right.
“I didn’t aim for it.”
“Oh? Then why did it level up?”
“That’s what we haven’t figured out yet.”
“Really?”
“Yes. We are currently trying to figure out the reason.”
“Hmm.”
Mia tilted her head curiously at Kousuke’s words.
“Ah, right. A familiar evolved into a new form, do you want to see it?”
The original intention was for Mia to want to see the Tower floors, so Kousuke made this suggestion.
He figured they wouldn’t decide anything by just talking here.
Kousuke has already shown Mia several types of familiars, though not all of them.
Kousuke is choosing familiars that he thinks would be acceptable to reveal to someone outside the management members.
“Yes! Let’s go!”
Mia, who had completely forgotten her original purpose, responded energetically to Kousuke’s proposal.
♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦
And so they returned to the Northwest Tower again.
Mia was excited to see the evolved Wind Tiger.
“Is that the Wind Tiger?”
“Yes. It is.”
“Wow. It’s so cool! Just as expected from a monster in the Tower of Wind. The name too.”
“Hahaha. Indeed. …Hmm?”
Mia’s casual comment struck Kousuke as something significant.
Wind Tiger.
Its race name directly incorporates the word for wind.
“Is that it, perhaps?”
Kousuke tilted his head at the same time Mia did.
“Father, what’s wrong?”
“Perhaps, thanks to you, Mia, I might have figured out why the Tower’s LV went up.”
“Really!?”
“I don’t know for sure yet if that’s the correct answer. We need to verify it properly.”
Even as he said this, Kousuke was confident it was probably correct.
He couldn’t be certain without checking the remaining three of the Four Elements Towers, but there was nothing else he could think of.
Afterward, Mia played with the Wind Tiger to her heart’s content before returning to the castle.
She wanted to know the conditions for the level up, but Kousuke appeased her by promising to tell her once he understood them properly.
Then, reluctantly, she was pulled away by Wanri and returned.
After Mia returned to the castle, Kousuke immediately investigated the remaining three Elemental Towers.
Specifically, he checked if there were any evolved familiars in each Tower that represented their respective elements.
There was no doubt that the Wind Tiger possessed the attribute of wind, based on its skills.
As a result, the other three Towers did not have familiars representing their respective attributes.
While it couldn’t be said with absolute certainty that none were missed, given the large number and variety of familiars, he received the same answer from the members managing each Tower, so he was sure.
However, even if he had a clue about the LV up conditions, the problem was how to induce evolutions that matched the attributes of each Tower.
He had rarely managed to achieve a targeted evolution before.
For now, the future policy was decided: to aim for evolutions that matched the attributes of at least three Towers.
It took a very long time, but the Northwest Tower’s LV has finally been upgraded lol.
The conditions were very difficult, as in this case, where an evolution happens by chance, and that evolution must match the attribute, which is why it took so long.
It’s a surprisingly simple concept to achieve evolutions that match their respective attributes, but I was stuck and couldn’t figure it out.
There’s another reason why it took so long, but I’ll explain that later.
From now on, we will be verifying for the three Towers whether the conditions are indeed correct.
(Maybe I should just leave it to Mia? lol)
