'So if you're not going to kill me, I'm now your… partner?'
Still surprised but I need to get out fast, for now let's keep talking to kanna to find out how she got to that and then I'll check the system messages.
'Kanna... how did you come to that, weren't you just now accepting your death?' -I asked confused and it was a quick change even though she looked confused when she said that.
'Yes... but according to the memories I have, if a male wins me in a fight and doesn't kill me, I have to become his mate... right?' she-she said as if she's not sure what she's saying…wait, memories?.
'Like what memories?' -I asked still confused that, I think she is... but I don't know if it's the same in this world.
'Oh... I forgot to say it, the dragons when they can't raise their young leave you a lot of information so you know the common things about them, one of them is the part about when a male beats a female in a battle, the female can decide if she wants to be the male's partner or vice versa (if the female beats the male)' - this time Tsubasa answered the question. (Or it is to see who is the boss in the relationship)
'Yes what she said'-said kanna while she nodded to what tsubasa said.
'But... my question is why did you decide that he would be andrius if he is a wolf and you are a dragon and normally that is only for dragons' - Tsubasa asked Kanna curiously. (she knows, but she wants to see what she says kanna)
'Because in the memories I have none of them had another type of monster beating a dragon, unless that monster was stronger than the dragon, but andrius beat me but being weaker than me so I thought... it would be good idea that he be my partner because if he is so strong now I wonder how he will be in the future' - she said as she nodded to his words... seriously now she wasn't confused to say that she would be my partner? (She is very smart... no, she already has plans for the future)
'Oh ok, I understood, well it's not that it's rare in the central area there were several dragons that had a partner of another race... so' - Tsubasa said while trying not to think too much about something that is not so rare in the area center... but. (She just wants to sleep: v)
'Yes, I understood everything... but, it shouldn't be of the same race, I mean look here she is being a dragon of 4 meters and little while I am only a wolf of about 2 meters, as there is a lot of difference in size and a great difference in races' - I said I don't see any sense in this... how did you decide that I should be your partner if we are of different races and different sizes.
'Mmmm... if you're worried that it's bigger than your andrius, when you reach high rank you can transform into a humanoid being and they can have a closer size' - Tsubasa said while Kanna nodded... yes, it's true, of so many things that I have in mind I forgot that I could get a human body when I reached that rank... what happens with my memory seriously, even so, even so I have to at least hide it since I was not supposed to know it .
'...'-I stared blankly at the two of them, one is looking at me like a hunter looking at her prey while the other is lying lazily on a mound of earth that must be comfortable since she is sleeping.
'Ah...'-I heard kanna make a sound as if she will remember something so that then she will start to glow and then shrink...what is she doing.
From the form of a very shiny dragon she took on a small and shiny humanoid form.
Then the white glow began to disappear in particles towards the sky and from where the great dragon was to being a little girl that I can tell, that she looks about 9 years old, although not very sure.
she has lavender white hair tied up in ponytails and blue eyes. She is wearing an outfit consisting of a white cape with a fur collar, a pink blouse, a white frilly skirt, and pink doll shoes. Her hair is tied into pigtails, each adorned with three dark blue beads.
[Kanna's photo]
'If it wasn't for the fact that she still has the horns... I couldn't say that she was the imposing dragon I met before'-I thought as I looked at the dragon girl Kanna.
Tsubasa who was falling asleep when seeing the light woke up and now he is looking at Kanna with his eyes wide open from what he is seeing, Alba and Wutong who have been quiet and only seeing things from the side were looking at Kanna curiously for their transformation into human, more alba than being a spirit has a more human appearance if we remove her small size of a 3 year old girl.
'How can you do that?' - a surprised Tsubasa asked, almost shouting.
Kanna turned her gaze from her to her and tilted her head in confusion…not again.
'According to the memories I have... there is a spell that allows me to transform into a humanoid being even though it spends a lot of mana to cast and weakens me physically, maintaining it doesn't cost much so I thought it would be an opportunity for andrius to accept being my partner' - answered kanna while making micro expressions on her expressionless face... seriously how many things are there in those inherited memories. (Not enough but the necessary ones: v)
'Eh... so you're the daughter of...' - Tsubasa began to mutter something in a low voice that I heard but when I turned my gaze to her, she stopped and looked at her confused so that she shook her head and said - 'no, nothing'
'...' - let's leave it at that for now.
'Haissss... for now, let's go to the cave we'll talk about it later' - I said as they nodded as they were tired and we started walking towards the cave well... tsubasa, wutong, silvi and now kanna climbed on my back ... seriously, I'm a public transport or that... (sigh) better let's go.
[Thirty minutes later]
It's been half an hour since kanna turned into a human, now we're all in bed after eating and nothing important happened... well, it did.
Well... after I arrived I started to cook the meat because as you know, cooked meat tastes better than raw meat so, kanna who ate with us... well... let's say she liked cooked meat a lot and I can say that she begs me to let her join my group, after hearing from Tsubasa that if she joins she can eat more meat every day. (Dragons are supposed to have a habit of using their elemental breath to cook/burn/freeze food to eat, kanna burns them directly so that's why she liked andrius's cooked meat)
I am seeing what she is doing, kanna is a good addition to the group after all she is a dragon and even being a low rank she can cause a lot of destruction in a small area.
And well... after "thinking about it" for a moment, I accepted it... yes, but who would say no to this little face in front of me.
[Photo, I had seen a better image than that before, but I didn't get it again]
After that, we all went to sleep, or at least that is supposed to be because I have yet to see what I received from the system, since after accepting kanna but twice the "DING" of the system.
And that would be all that happened...it wasn't much either.
By the way here is kanna's status and I see why her attacks were so powerful.
[Condition]
[Kanna Kamui]
Race: Lightning Dragon
Affinities: lightning (high)
Title: Lightning Dragon
Hp: 4,800 Min: 9,480
[Str: F+(G++)][Vit: F+ ][Agi: F+ ][Def: F+(G++) ][Mn: F++ ][MnDef: F++ ] (what's in parentheses are the stats when in his form human, the only thing that weakens is its strength and defense, the rest is the same, but for dragons it is taken as if it weakens a lot, even though it is supposed to only weaken in a range but kanna having a small body does not can withstand his full strength, even though he's as strong as an athlete... so.)
Skills:
Passives:
[enhanced senses: 3][regeneration: (low-medium)][dragon scales: 1][immortality(type 1)][dragon physique: 1][dragon aura: 1]
Active:
[intimidate: 2][fire breath: 4][compressed lightning breath: 1](like the lightning kanna used when she was "playing" with thoru but weaker of course)[transformation]
Endurance:
[Lightning resistance: 1][Heat resistance: 1]
Magic:
[Lightning Magic: Ball Lightning, Lightning Shield Lightning Body] (so few spells that she knows why, she didn't need to learn more because she's supposed to be the strongest in this zone/area)
Well let's say that her body and skills are deceptive, her body is already super resistant to both magical and physical attacks, but if we add it to her passive ability [dragon scales] and [dragon body] it makes her almost immune to attacks of the same range as her that's why my claws and teeth only make her bleed a little.
And that pressure he felt before entering the cave was his dragon aura that was passively active, I really don't know how they didn't notice it.
And then there's this regeneration, so I was wondering how she could be alright after that fall she had, she can regenerate at high speed as long as she has mana or if she doesn't she can use her stamina to do it.
Well now... let's see the system.
[System: Quest Defeat a Dragon (Complete), Get a Low Rank Party Member (Complete), Create a party of at least 5 members (Complete), Get your first partner (Complete)] (5 members are alba, wutong, tsubasa and silvi even though the latter doesn't know it but she knows why she is following him of her own free will, after she was kidnapped from her house/tree)
'...' - I stared blankly at that since I didn't have any of those missions, but let's go for the old reliable one - 'System and that I don't remember any of those missions, or at least the first and last one, the third was It seems to create a group but that mission does not appear, could you tell me?'.
[System: These are hidden quests that only appear upon completion, the first and last quests weren't supposed to be completed so soon since in the domain after the battle between the dragons and the void beasts, the dragons raise their young in the inner and center area or some who can stay in the mountainous area, but somehow there was a dragon here in the outer area.
The third quest was hidden since, as the quest to create a party only says that you need monsters to join your party to give you the reward, but every time you reach a certain number of members you complete that hidden quest.]
'Please claim all the rewards I have' - I said since I don't think it's weird that there are hidden quests in the system, in games there are always... so.
[System: Claiming rewards... please wait.]
[You have received 3 low rank lottery tickets, 2 mid rank lottery tickets have been saved in your inventory.]
'System why two lottery tickets mid-range?' - I asked confused why they are supposed to be 1 for getting a member for the group, 1 for beating a dragon I imagine it was only that one because kanna was only low rank, the mid rank lottery ticket must be for him get 5 members in my group and finally there should be getting a partner but... I don't think I can win something like that so easily, right?
[System: The second mid rank lottery ticket was for getting a mate, the reward increased after completing the quest in a short time, and for getting a dragon as a mate, it hasn't increased more because the dragon is only low rank]
'Oh' - forget what I thought.
'So what are we waiting for...use all the tickets at the same time...if you can of course' - I thought excitedly as I saw 5 medium-sized roulette wheels appear and they start to spin at high speed, so as always I have the feeling of that if you stop watching them I will miss something.
They start to spin very, very fast as if they wanted to create a tornado and I'm starting to feel super super dizzy and more so after eating but...
'I will resist until the end' - I thought so that later a screen would appear in front of the roulette wheels and my dizziness would decrease considerably.
[Congratulations you have won by repeatedly doing an action [dizziness resistance] check its status to see the skill description.]
'Ohhhhhhh' - I started screaming in my mind after that, that's why the feeling I had... she can't have gotten it any earlier... well never mind, we'll see her later let's look at the wheels that are about to end.
The spinners start to slow down one by one after about 5 seconds the first spinner stops and...
[Congratulations you have gained skill [transformation] check its status to see the description of the skill.]
I couldn't celebrate because of that, because the second roulette stopped too and...
[Congratulations you have won [wolf fang fist technique] the reward has been saved in your inventory.]
'...' - I didn't know how to react I know what that technique is and I can't believe I managed to get it, but there are still three rewards to get, so we resist the urge to party.
The last low rank spinner was stopped and...
[Congratulations you have won [low rank healing potion] the reward has been saved in your inventory]
Well, well what we have won today is my lucky day... let's see the next one.
The wheels that have the mid-range lottery tickets kept slowing down and the first one stops and...
[Congratulations, you have won [Item Package: Inosuke Hashibira] has been saved to your inventory]
'?' - I was confused by that but I can't check it yet as the last spinner is about to stop.
But before it stopped, it turned fast again and another blue window appeared in front of me.
[System: Protagonist's luck is reacting...faster strength enhancement luck has been activated...]
That appears and then it disappears and the spinner had started to slow down again and then stop and...
[Congratulations you have won [Four Leaf Clover Grimoire: Blank] has been saved to inventory]
Andrius.exe stopped working...
[Minutes later]
'QUUUUEEEEEEEEEE' - I screamed in my mind after recovering, I mean who doesn't, you know the black clover series was one of my favorites and I still stayed in the elf part but at least I know what that grimoire is and not I can believe that it touched me.
The [Four-Clover Grimoire] apart from that only people who are destined to be among the strongest have it but I saw on a page in my previous life that the grimoire gives you supernatural luck, of course not at the level of the luck of protagonist that luck is very broken, but even so it is too much luck that I have won the grimoire, as expected from the luck of the protagonist he does not mess around with nonsense.
Now let's look at the reward that got me a little confused first.
[item pack: inosuke hashibira: a pack that the items that the person of the name uses the most.
This bundle contains: Boar's Head Mask, Demon Slayer Corps Uniform Pants(adjustable), Nichirin Swords, Breathing Technique: Breath of the Beast.]
'Hold on, hold on, I feel like I'm fainting' - I said as I closed my eyes to process what I just read... ok, because I feel like I'm running out of all the luck of my life today, something will happen to me. ..will I die after using all my luck like in my previous life? (Now you are not a protagonist, so don't worry, the worst thing is that you may or may not attract monsters in quantity or stronger than you towards you: v)
(I even feel bad for him and nothing has happened to him yet)
'Mmmm' - while I was in my thoughts I felt how wutong got up and headed towards the entrance of the cave.
Opening my eyes to see her I wonder what he's doing… Oh.
'Well... that's to be expected'-I thought as I looked towards the cave entrance and got up... my leader instincts are telling me to go there.
Getting up and walking carefully so no one notices me, I head towards wutong.
[5 minutes later]
'Seriously, what's wrong with his senses' - I thought as I finally reached the entrance, seriously as I had slept further away from the girls and they were right in front of the exit, each step I took or Alba or Tsubasa moved as if feel my movement, as in those moments I wish I could fly just like wutong.
But well, I have already reached where wutong is, she is standing/sitting on a stone looking at the starry sky, I can only say that it is a beautiful sight as the glow of the moon illuminates her wings giving a blue illuminating effect around her . (Here she only goes by my imagination, I don't even know if that can happen to her)
I can tell that she already sensed me because I stopped trying to walk slowly after leaving the cave, but she keeps looking up at the stars as if she didn't notice me.
I go and sit next to the rock where she is and I also start looking at the stars.
'So... how do you feel?' - Ask after a while of silence, I know what's wrong so I'll ask directly... here I'm doing my best I'm not one of the best comforting people.
She was silent for a moment and then looked down with different emotions such as sadness, disappointment, fear.
'Tell me andrius, I... I'm so weak' - I ask and resisting the urge to tell him the harsh truth, I don't think it's time for that.
'You are not weak at least for this area we are in, you can consider yourself a strong monster, perhaps you don't remember how you defeated the earth bear' - I replied as hurtfully as possible I need to make her see that in the world in which we are still weak but I can't even tell him that he is so weak.
'Yes, the bear, I only beat him because he can't fly and I ended up killing him from a long distance'-she said as she sank deeper into sadness...well I don't know.
'Wutong, a victory is a victory no matter what you did to win, in this world there is nothing like fair, the bear and you had their advantages and disadvantages' - I said while thinking that watching all those anime series, if they taught me on something in the end.
'The earth bear had the advantage of having a stronger and more resistant body but lacked speed and mobility, while you have the advantage of flying and being able to better use your mana to attack at medium and long range but your disadvantage is that you have a weak body and can't take a stamina fight' - I said while telling her some of her disadvantages.
'But tell me why you're sad, why you're disappointed, why you're afraid, if you want of course' - I asked her as I turned my gaze towards her.
She was silent for a while as if wondering if she should tell me or not.
'I... well, let me tell you why I want to be stronger... let me tell you my story before I met you' - he said melancholy, making me think that this is going to be a long night... but, my instincts tell me that it will be worth it.
'Well, I'm all ears'-I said as she settled me.
__________________________________________________________________
A long chapter, it was supposed to go up to two today but somehow this chapter when I was writing it I realized that it was chapter 40 and I thought that this was going to be chapter 39.
my thought was to make this chapter ending with wutong for the chapter of her story to be the 40th... :v.
good info that I don't necessarily need to say but it's not that important for the story either unless I make a chapter in the future where they explain the future to andrius without him but well... if you don't want to read it... Chao: v .
In the original destiny, wutong meets kanna months after wutong became a low rank monster and how now the two of them would have a fight that was started by wutong.
In the end and as expected wutong... he loses and ugly, he didn't even manage to make two movements, movements that kanna allowed him before she went and attacked her leaving her at the gates of death, and if it wasn't for what she was "Coincidentally" in an area where there are not many wutong monsters I managed to recover but I would have been left in the abyss of sadness and all that.
In the end, a year later, wutong had become a mid-range monster and met the original protagonist, they spend their moments and taking advantage of the protagonist's luck, they found some treasures, etc., wutong became one of the strongest monsters in his range. .
I look for kanna who was a dragon of equal middle rank and they had a battle that ended up winning thanks to the broken luck of the protagonist and heroine, wutong winning and eating the meat of the dragon kanna, since he had heard that dragon meat helps enhance physical and magical potential.
And that was the original fate...the plot armor wins.
