While we were heading for the Teleportation Gate, Fors-san seemed to have gotten into the mood as she began to give some sort of lecture on Special Individuals.
[To begin with, have you ever heard that there are two types of Special Individuals: Congenital and Acquired?]
[Ahh, Iāve heard of that. There are species in which being a Special Individual is something theyāre born with, while there are species whose Special Individual state is something they acquired and evolved into, right?]
[Indeed, that is the current common understanding. However, I personally feel that there might be types other than these two. For instance, Elves may be a species that evolves into a Special Individual later in life, but even if thatās the case, I donāt think it should be definitely stated that Congenital Special Individuals could never be born under that species. Currently, there simply isnāt any precedent, but thereās still a possibility that a Congenital Special Individual could eventually be born under that species.]
Now that she mentioned it, it does seem like a plausible perspective. Only the Acquired Special Individuals in that species may have been confirmed, but the idea that Congenital Special Individuals could also be born under that species is indeed a plausible possibility.
[Moreover, as I mentioned earlier, the physical characteristics of the High Elves donāt change very much. This certainly may not be the case for every species, but usually, Special Individuals have distinguishing features that can be recognized at a glance, such as a change in color or unique characteristics on a part of their body.]
[Ahh~~ Right, the transformation that occurs for the Elves would be internal, so itās slightly different from the other examples.]
[Yeah, it is as you said. This is purely my hypothesis, but rather than being Special Individuals, High Elves could just be a growth stage that regular Elves attain under certain conditions, and a true Special Individual Elf has yet to be born. Having such a thought holds its own romance, donāt you think?]
[It does give off this feeling of looking at something unknown, doesnāt it?]
As I was walking leisurely along the street, listening to Fors-san happily talking about this subject, she suddenly pulled me by the hand.
[Ohh, now that is quite a rare material. If I have such a thing in hand, it might open up new approaches for my ongoing research project. Hmmm, but the one over there seemed even more unusualā¦ā¦ I could smell itā¦ā¦ the scent of research!]
[Yes, yes. Letās leave that to another time.]
[N- No way, canāt you just wait for a moment!? If I were to miss this opportunity, thereās a chance I wonāt acquire any more of thoseā¦ā¦]
[Come now, weāre almost at the gate.]
While we were walking, her attention would often be drawn away by her research just like this time, so if we werenāt holding hands, I would have lost sight of her immediately.
In fact, it seemed that Fors-san had caused quite a lot of trouble to Laguna-san and the othersā¦ā¦ It did make me curious which of them is better at getting lost, her or Tre-sanā¦ā¦
[I wonder why? I feel like your treatment of me is becoming increasingly rougher. Should I be glad that the emotional distance between us has shortened, or should I lament that youāve started responding to me like Laguna and Hikari did? This is quite the dilemma.]
[ā¦ā¦Does Hapti-san treat you in a different way?]
[Ahh, as for Haptiā¦ā¦ Compared to the instances of me getting lost, Hapti gets involved in financial troubles far more frequently. She drew Hikari and Lagunaās attention more than I did. However, sheās quite clever, as she even uses their vigilance to skillfully manipulate us and make money for herself. Good gracious, Hapti was so much of a troublemaker during our adventure that my tendency to getting lost is getting overshadowed.]
How much of a troublemaker were you, Hapti-sanā¦ā¦ No, guess I should be asking Alice that huh? Well, it is true that even back at the Six Kings Festival, Neun-san said that she was more of a troublemaker than Fors-san was, and the fact that Fors-san had described her should mean that sheās that much of a troublemaker.
