"Lady Tohru..."
Seeing Lin's firm attitude, Kanna couldn't help but look at Tohru, as if expecting her to say something.
However, Tohru was just looking at Lin.
Her face was filled with a happy smile, and a certain fervor gleamed in her eyes.
Kanna: "..."
Just then.
"Kanna..."
Lin narrowed his eyes slightly at Kanna and said thoughtfully:
"Why are you so insistent on having Tohru go back with you?"
"Could it be that you can't go back?"
He said this with a smile that seemed to see through everything.
After all, he already knew this.
"!!!"
Hearing Lin's words, Kanna's eyes widened slightly in an instant, and a guilty look involuntarily appeared on her face.
But it vanished in a flash as she feigned composure.
She turned her head to the side, avoiding Lin and Tohru's gazes:
"That's not it at all."
"Kanna..."
Tohru's brow furrowed slightly at this.
"Really?"
Lin approached her with a grin and said with a smile:
"Then why don't you dare to look me in the eyes, Kanna?"
"Come on, look me in the eyes."
"I..."
Pressed by Lin, Kanna guiltily averted her gaze.
"So you really can't go back, can you?"
Lin smiled faintly as he looked at Kanna.
"Damn you (〃＞皿＜)"
As if to hide the embarrassment of her secret being discovered, Kanna's small face darkened slightly as she looked at Lin and said:
"I'm going to take Lady Tohru back..."
"Die!!!"
With that, she swung her fists at Lin's chest.
Thump, thump, thump.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Seemingly tired, Kanna stopped to catch her breath.
"Die~~~"
After recovering a bit, she launched another attack with a fiercely adorable expression.
"Kanna..."
Watching Kanna pitter-pattering her little fists against Lin's chest like she was giving him a massage, Tohru blinked and asked with a puzzled look:
"Why are you so weak?"
"You're the strange one, Lady Tohru!"
Kanna, panting softly with her hands on her knees, looked at Tohru upon hearing this:
"The mana purity in this place is way too low."
Mana, the energy that forms magical power.
To find Tohru, she had consumed a lot of magical power to open a spatial passage to this world.
As a result, she couldn't recover her magical power.
Although she had some magical power left after crossing over, it was completely depleted by the time she found the vicinity of Lin's residence.
Of course, she could still unleash immense strength with her dragon body.
She only seemed weak now because she was holding back her power, not because she actually wanted to kill Lin.
Besides, she knew in her heart that Lin was very important to Tohru.
Her pitter-patter punching on Lin's chest was a pretext to reveal the fact that she couldn't return to her original world.
She wanted Tohru to go back with her.
If Lin knew what Kanna was really thinking, he would definitely be surprised.
After all, he subconsciously thought of Kanna as a child.
Although Kanna was indeed a child, she was the child of a dragon.
She had already lived for over ten thousand years.
Even if she usually looked like a human child, in some aspects, she was no less capable than an adult human.
One couldn't judge a dragon purely from a human perspective.
Sometimes, she was incredibly clever.
"Now that you mention it..."
Hearing Kanna's explanation, Tohru was a bit slow to realize it.
After all, her constitution was very special; she could generate her own magical power.
It was practically equivalent to having infinite magical power.
Therefore, she rarely supplemented her magical power from external sources and hadn't paid any attention to the issue of this world's mana purity before.
Tohru looked at Kanna and said, "How about I take you back?"
"What about you, Lady Tohru?"
A flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Kanna's eyes, followed by a bit of curiosity.
Tohru smiled faintly and said, "Of course I'll come back after taking you home. After all, I want to be with Lin."
Kanna: "..."
Hearing Tohru's answer, she fell silent and lowered her head slightly.
"Kanna, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Tohru was a little puzzled.
Just then, Lin, who had sat back down on the sofa, looked at them, smiled, and said:
"Kanna must have her reasons."
Tohru glanced at Lin, then turned to Kanna. "Kanna?"
"Well..."
Kanna kept her head lowered slightly and then told them the truth.
"Exiled for a prank!"
After hearing Kanna's story, Tohru was momentarily stunned and a little surprised.
Lin's expression remained unchanged.
After all, he already knew.
In an attempt to get her father's attention, Kanna had played a prank by 'shattering' the Dragon Orb, a draconic treasure, and was exiled as a result.
After being exiled, she wanted to find Tohru.
She couldn't find her at first, but later tracked Tohru's aura and opened a spatial passage to this world.
"Then what will you do, Kanna..."
Tohru looked at Kanna, lost in thought.
At that moment, the considerate Lin smiled and said, "Since Kanna has nowhere to go, why don't you stay here?"
"!!"
Kanna's eyes flickered.
Hearing this, Tohru pondered, "I suppose she could, but we don't have enough bedrooms. How about Kanna sleeps with me for now?"
Kanna's big eyes flickered again at Tohru's words.
Lin smiled faintly and nodded. "That works too."
Then he turned to Kanna and said with a smile, "Kanna, from today on, you can live here with me."
"Treat it like your own home."
"From now on, me, Tohru, and those few... um, 'sisters' you just met, we're all your family now, Kanna."
Lin hesitated slightly when he said 'sisters'.
"That's right."
Tohru nodded and agreed with a smile.
"...Thank you."
Kanna's eyes widened slightly, her gaze flickering. She looked at Tohru, then finally at Lin, and whispered her thanks.
A small smile appeared on her face.
At the same time, Lin also received a notification from the Codex of All Things.
A new entry had been unlocked.
Lin stood up, patted Kanna's head, and looked at Tohru:
"Tohru, why don't you take Kanna upstairs to get to know Akasha and the others. I have some business to take care of in the Mirage Realm."
"Mm-hm, okay."
Tohru nodded with a smile and looked at Kanna. "Let's go, Kanna."
Kanna, whose head had been patted, flickered her eyes. She glanced at Lin, then nodded and followed behind Tohru.
Lin summoned the Mist Gate.
After arriving in the Mirage Realm, he opened the Codex of All Things.
Nickname: Kanna Kamui
Grade: Purple
Description: The cicadas are crying...
Acquired: Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic
...
"It's Dragon Slayer Magic..."
Seeing the Codex reward from Kanna, Lin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
How interesting. The Codex reward from a dragon is actually Dragon Slayer Magic.
With a thought, he claimed the ability.
In his mental space.
Streaks of lightning interwoven with purple and gold appeared out of thin air.
They coalesced into a lightning dragon.
Lin's physical body squirmed slightly.
Purple-gold electric arcs danced across the surface of his skin.
As its power increases, Dragon Slayer Magic gradually transforms the user's body into that of a dragon, even leading to true dragonification.
Silver's Immutability manifested.
The dragonification effect of the Dragon Slayer Magic, when acting on Lin's body, only served to purely strengthen him.
His physical body grew stronger once again.
The magical power derived from the Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic was absorbed and assimilated by his original power.
Various techniques for using Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic also surfaced in Lin's mind, becoming bodily instincts.
