Chapter 5 Connection Ritual (Rewrite)

"Where are we?" Amou asked Amane and Chisato as they looked around the place and spotted a beautiful lake, but there was a big crater nearby.

"I don't know, maybe we were kidnapped?" Amane said, recalling that his father owned four TV stations and his mother owned many hospitals.

"That's impossible to happen. If someone tries to touch me while sleeping, except for you or Mom, my auto counter will activate," Amou said, and Amane agreed with her.

"This place is so beautiful. The stars are reflecting on the lake, and fireflies are glowing around it," Chisato said as she lay in the green grass.

"I'm going to take a look over here," Amane said, walking towards the deep crater. Amane discovered a giant silver dragon lying inside with many deep wounds.

"Kiru, Chisato! I found a giant silver dragon sleeping here, or maybe it's unconscious," Amane shouted.

Chisato ran to his side and saw the giant dragon. She immediately ran to touch its scales, while Amou looked at it with amazement.

"I WILL KILL YOU, HUMANS!" The silver dragon started speaking in Mandarin. Chisato understood the dragon and immediately warned Amou, knowing she didn't understand its words.

"I didn't expect to meet you again, Dragon God," Amane said in Mandarin.

"You?! Even I didn't expect to meet you this early," the Silver Dragon said and asked, "How did you get here?"

"The thing is... I remember that I was just sleeping in my room, and when I woke up, I found myself here," Amane answered, trying to explain everything that happened to him and looked at Amou and Chisato.

"I slept next to you," Amou said, admitting that she sneaked into his room. But what about Chisato?

"I remember falling asleep on the sofa," Chisato said, recalling that Shihoko carried her to a room and laid her on the bed next to Amane, but she was too sleepy to care.

After remembering what happened, Chisato's face turned red, and she looked away from Amane.

"Do you need any help? Consider this as paying back the favor that I owe you," Amane said to the Silver Dragon.

"How about you give me your heart and accept me as your mate?" the Silver Dragon said with a serious tone, knowing Amane's skills and deciding to take advantage of the favor she owed.

Amou looked on at the dragon with amazement, while Chisato simply hung her mouth open.

"My heart? Why do you need my heart?" Amane asked.

*sigh* "I was betrayed by those humans whom I allowed to enter my home. They split my power in half because they couldn't seal me at my full power," the Silver Dragon said with it's eyes closed.

Amane nodded, while the two girls looked confused during their conversation. Amou, in particular, didn't understand Mandarin.

"Currently, I am the Silver Dragon, while my other form is a Golden Dragon."

"Why do you need my heart then?" Amane asked, curious about the purpose of his heart.

"To accept you as my mate and to grow stronger, surpassing my past self," the Silver Dragon explained.

"And I don't want to trouble myself by fusing with my other half, especially knowing that it would alert those wannabe god."

Amane nodded and stabbed himself with his hand, grabbing his own heart.

Chisato and Amou watched in horror as Amane held his heart and began coughing up blood.

"Are you okay?" Amou asked, rushing to remove his clothes and finding no wounds, relieving her.

"You scared me there," Chisato said, placing her hand on her chest and struggling to breathe.

Amane noticed Chisato's condition and stabbed himself again to obtain another heart. After it healed, he repeated the process to acquire another.

Amou and Chisato didn't know what to say as they watched Amane remove his heart.

They were both dumbfounded when they saw his chest heal, and the three hearts he held started beating loudly.

"I know that you plan to use my heart to change your own heart into mine. Can you do the same for both of them?" Amane asked.

The Silver Dragon nodded in agreement and utilized its power over elements, crystallizing herself and the girls.

The other three hearts flew towards their chests, where their own hearts were located, and began beating loudly. The hearts emitted a golden glow and slowly entered their bodies.

At that moment, the three of them felt something changing within their bodies, yet they couldn't quite comprehend what was happening.

They began to lose consciousness as the Silver Dragon transformed into a beautiful ten-year-old child. A tremendous spiritual power leaked from the crystal, causing the crater to deepen due to the pressure they were emitting. A lake started to emerge, covering their crystallized bodies.

In the God realm, the gods who had betrayed the Silver Dragon began to panic due to the pressure. They couldn't pinpoint its source, which grew their anxiety.

Amane and the other girls woke up in a familiar room, but there was a new person present.

"Silver Dragon," Amane called out, trying to wake up the silver-haired little girl.

"Hmm, so this is the world where you were reincarnated," the silver-haired girl said, looking around as she woke up.

"I've decided to name myself Gu Yuena," she said.

Amou and Chisato were in a daze, staring at Gu Yuena. Finally, Chisato snapped out of it and shouted, "Why are you naked?!"

"Amane-kun, Kiru-chan, Chisato-chan, I came to wake you up!" Shihoko exclaimed as she entered the room. She noticed the silver-haired little kid, who was naked and clinging to Amane. "Ara~ what a cute little kid! But why are you naked?"

Shihoko momentarily forgot the reason she had entered the room and began dressing Gu Yuena.

"Please bear with my mom," Amane said to Gu Yuena, who nodded in response.

"Let's try this dress on you," Shihoko said, starting to dress Gu Yuena in various girl's clothes along with Chisato and Amou.
