I'll kill you after I finish this game!

In terms of strength, Lefebvre is the weakest in the team. She was able to join even though she was not strong enough, because of Vali's kindness.

"...Although I feel saddened by the other person's background, Vali, you said that the other person was just an ordinary human four months ago!?"

Although Arthur felt sorry for Reiji's plight, he was shocked to learn that Reiji was just an ordinary person four months ago.

In just four months, the opponent had reached the point of being able to defeat Vali. Moreover, before that, the opponent had copied Vali's power as the White Dragon Emperor, as well as the opportunities obtained in the Remnant Realm. It can be said that the opponent had become stronger during this period.

Damn, this speed of getting stronger is a bit too exaggerated. Think about how he went through rigorous training in his family since childhood to be able to wield the Holy Sword and has this remarkable strength. Compared to him, Rei Zhe is nothing.

Meihou and Heige had the same expression. Lei Zhe's power was comprehensive, including powerful healing abilities, master-level swordsmanship, and ferocious close combat skills, not to mention his other abilities.

With such comprehensive and powerful combat capabilities, how did the opponent manage to achieve this in just four months?

"Heh, why would I try to win him over if he's not special?" Vali chuckled and turned to leave. He was shocked when he directly sensed Rei's strength and recalled the information about him.

Having a formidable opponent now also means having a good teammate.

*************

Reiji won't have much time to return home from Tokyo after landing, but before that, he needs to take Kanna to Tohru's place, since he promised her.

ding dong~

Upon landing at Kobayashi Tohru's apartment, Reiji rang the doorbell. Kanna sniffed the air and her eyes lit up with anticipation; the air was filled with Tohru-sama's rich scent.

Reiji didn't lie to her; Kanna, who had just gotten off the other person's neck, already sensed that someone she knew was approaching the door.

"Here you are, Mr. Reizhe. You're back..."

"Lord Thor!!"

As soon as the door opened, Thor appeared with a friendly smile. Before Reiji could say anything, Kanna rushed towards Thor.

Like a cute little pendant, it hung on Thor's waist. Thor's surprise turned into astonishment and delight: "Kanna, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, Kobayashi also came to the entrance hall. Looking at Rai Zhe outside the door, Kobayashi smiled and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Zhe. Good evening. Um... and who is this?"

After greeting Reiji, I saw a little girl clinging tightly to Thor's waist. The conspicuous dragon horns on her head and the little tail swaying behind her indicated that she was not human.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Because he was going to put Kanna into Kobayashi's house, the dragon trainer, Reiji had a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

After arriving at Kobayashi's house and sitting down in the living room, Kanna first talked to Tohru about leaving together, but Tohru refused because of Kobayashi.

Then, when Thor asked Kanna why she was with Reiji, Kanna was a little embarrassed to answer.

It was only then that Lei Zhe spoke up and explained why the two, one human and one dragon, had come to Kobayashi's house together.

"Kanna, you were banished for a prank, and you even got lost and nearly lost your life in the dimensional remnants!?"

Thor stared sternly at little Kanna, who was kneeling with her head down, not daring to look directly at him. After all, this was not a glorious thing.

Thor didn't mock the other person for being banished; what mattered most to Thor was that the other person had wandered off and gotten lost in that desolate realm, almost losing their life.

If it weren't for the fact that Lei Zhe happened to be in that desolate realm, wouldn't her friend have unknowingly died?

"I didn't wander off on purpose, I was just so eager to see Lord Thor, so..."

Little Kanna was like a child being scolded by her parents, not daring to resist Thor's authority at all, and just keeping her head down as much as possible.

Thor couldn't be too harsh on her friend, because she also bore some responsibility for Kanna's accident. After all, Kanna had come to find her, and if Thor hadn't left her own world, Kanna wouldn't have gotten lost and ended up in that dangerous place.

However, Thor glanced at Kobayashi and Reiji with a hint of ambiguity. She no longer regretted leaving her own world; her life here was far better than her previous chaotic existence.

"Well, you can't run around like that anymore." Thor patted Kanna's head, who was looking down, and Kanna's gloomy mood improved. Thor looked at Reiji on the other side and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Mr. Reiji."

Kobayashi also figured out the situation. It turned out that Reiji had encountered a brand new injured dragon in danger. Because the dragon was looking for Thor, he brought it here.

Thinking about it, Kobayashi looked at Reiji with a subtle expression and said, "It really is a similar way of meeting Thor."

That's right. Thor was able to let the dragon live in his house because he was injured and was helped by Kobayashi and Reiji. Now Kanna is in a similar situation. She really does have a connection with dragons.

Tohru naturally understood what Kobayashi meant. Thinking about it, Kanna's situation was similar to hers. The dragon maid, with a happy, silly smile on her face, looked at Reiji and Kobayashi and said, "Kobayashi-san and Reiji-san are really destined to be with us dragons."

“...You’re absolutely right.” Rezhe had also thought about how many dragons he had encountered recently, and he really couldn’t refute Thor’s words.

Thor, the Red Dragon Emperor, the White Dragon Emperor, and Kanna will likely encounter some more dragons later on.

P.S.: The previous chapters have been revised, please stop arguing. I already know I was hasty, and you keep arguing even though I said I would revise them.

Chapter 83 Little Fists Punch Your Chest, Lei Zhe: Meow!

"Lord Thor, can't you really leave with Kanna?" Kanna looked at Thor with great longing, but Thor glanced at Reiji and Kobayashi and then shook his head in refusal.

"why?"

"Because I love being with Kobayashi, and I love spending time with Reiji-san, they're my treasures!!" Tohru said this as if it were a confession, happily introducing the two people she considered her treasures to Kanna.

However, Kanna looked unhappy. She first glared at Reiji with a huff, and then stared at Kobayashi, who was looking at Tohru with a helpless expression.

Razer had saved her and helped her, feeding her along the way. The previous healing had also made Kanna directly feel the other party's kindness, so she didn't have much dissatisfaction with Razer.

But this weirdo in front of him is different; he must have used some special method to bewitch Lord Thor.

"Once I get rid of you, the one who bewitched Lord Thor, Lord Thor should change his mind. I want to..." Kanna, exuding a dark aura, stared intently at the bespectacled woman in front of her. Kobayashi, who was not drunk, was also shocked to feel the dragon's aura up close and stood up, taking a slight step back.

"Nisunai!!"

Kanna raised her little fist and charged at Kobayashi, about to smash it into Kobayashi's stomach. At this moment, Reiji could no longer bear to watch.

Kanna is no longer the powerless, magic-less character she was in the original story; her little fists are no joke when they come down.

"Snapped!"

He darted behind Kanna and swiftly grabbed her wrist. Feeling the immense force in his palm, Reiji breathed a sigh of relief. Kobayashi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he felt as if a speeding truck had suddenly stopped in front of him.

Lei Zhe grabbed Kanna by the back of the neck in a bad mood, then slapped her on the head with a sharp chop, the force of which made Kanna wince and clutch her head in pain.

"Kobayashi is Thor's savior. What kind of logic is it to kill Thor's savior? If you want Thor to leave with you, are you going to kill me too?"

Pointing her finger at little Kanna's chubby cheeks, she reprimanded the willful little one quite rudely.

"Kanna, stop fooling around. I've made up my mind to stay in the human world. You're not allowed to be rough with Kobayashi and Reiji anymore, or we won't even be friends anymore!" Thor also tapped Kanna's head with a serious expression, then hugged Kobayashi, who was sweating a little, and rubbed his face against Kobayashi's face.

"I... Lord Thor, I'm sorry..." Faced with Reiji and Kobayashi, who had stolen her away, and seeing the serious look on Thor's face, she knew that if she continued to act recklessly, she might really fall out with Thor, which was not what she wanted to see.

"If you really can't bear to part with Tohru, you can stay here. After all, you can't go back and you have nowhere else to go." Kobayashi saw the look on Kanna's face, like that of an abandoned little animal, and understood that Kanna had come to find Tohru because she had run away from home and been exiled with nowhere to go.

Although Kanna had startled her a little, in her eyes Kanna was like a spoiled child who had run away from home.

She finally understood why Rezer had brought Kanna here; Kanna had only sought Thor's company to find a place to stay.

Kanna might be like Tohru before her, and kind-hearted Kobayashi wouldn't dislike Kanna like this.

"I......"

After Kanna was put down by Reiji, she looked at Kobayashi with some unclear emotions in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something arrogant and resistant, Reiji spoke up.

“I know you dragons don’t trust humans much, but I assure you, Kanna, that Kobayashi is definitely not the kind of despicable person you think she is. She has no ulterior motives towards you and no intention of using you.”

Looking up at Lei Zhe's serious expression, she realized that he had never intended to use her and had always treated her with kindness.

Reiji's promise carried significant weight in the other party's mind. Kanna looked at Kobayashi silently for a moment, and Kobayashi also knelt down in front of her, looking directly at Kanna and smiling as he said:

"It's understandable to be wary and distrustful of strangers. If it were me, I would be the same as you. I would only trust someone after we've become friends or lovers."

Kobayashi gently placed his hand on Kanna's head and continued calmly and softly:

"I don't ask to be your friend. You can stay here. Time will tell. If I really am the kind of human you hate, you should be able to kill me easily with your power."

It was the same old kindness again. Kanna thought of Reiji, who had helped her with practical actions before, and she had felt his kindness.

Although she didn't directly feel Kobayashi's kindness like Lei Zhe did, she sensed sincerity from him. Kanna was also a dragon who longed for the warmth of a family, but she couldn't feel it in her original world.

Her own father only saw her as a strong comrade-in-arms. Because she could no longer feel any affection from her father, Kanna resorted to pranks to attract her family's attention.

All Kanna craved was a little attention and care from her family. She felt the kindness of a stranger from Reiji and the sincerity from Kobayashi in front of her. This is why Kanna later opened her heart to Kobayashi as they spent more time together.

As expected, Kanna successfully moved into Kobayashi's dragon shelter, and with his goal achieved, it was time for Razer to leave.

"Back to you."

When Kobayashi and Tohru came out to see Reiji off, Kanna ran out of the house, took out the Seven Star Guardian that Reiji had given her earlier, and handed it to Reiji.

"Oh dear! Isn't this the dragon scale I gave to Mr. Razer? How did it end up on you, Kanna?"

Thor looked at Kanna with great confusion when she saw the dragon scales she had given to Reiji on the extraordinary necklace.

However, Kanna hesitated to speak up, afraid of being disliked and scolded by Thor, since it was not right for her to keep something Thor had given to someone else.

"Is such that..."

Reiji told Thor about how he met Kanna, explaining that the necklace with Thor's dragon scales was only meant to protect Kanna, and also to provide a guarantee if she didn't want to follow him.

After listening, Tohru and Kobayashi both glanced at Kanna, but neither blamed the other. After all, it was normal to be wary in an unfamiliar environment.

Thor was deeply moved and also felt helpless by Reiji's act of going all the way. The dragon scales that Reiji had given him to save his life were given to him in return to protect Kanna.

She had only talked to Lei Zhe about her friend, and never expected him to do something like this to help her friend.

“I’m fairly capable of protecting myself. After all, Kanna didn’t really trust me back then. If Kanna didn’t want to leave with me, I could at least ensure her safety.”

Smiling, he accepted the Seven Star Guardian from Kanna and put it back around his neck in front of Thor, saying it in a nonchalant manner.

Since he considered Thor a friend, he couldn't ignore Kanna's safety. Even if she didn't want to go with him, he planned to use the Shadow Companion to secretly help her.

"Oh right, little Kanna has a big appetite and is very greedy, so you can take care of these, Kobayashi."

Suddenly, he took out some easy-to-cook fantasy ingredients from his backpack and handed them to Kobayashi and Tohru.

Then he handed the three boxes of rainbow pudding he had made to Kanna, instructing her to share them with Toru Kobayashi.

"Isn't this a bit too expensive?" Looking at the generous amount of high-quality ingredients in her arms, and the rainbow-colored luster revealed when Kanna opened the box, along with the familiar aroma of pudding that made her mouth water, she said somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, these high-quality ingredients looked extraordinary, and those three boxes of rainbow pudding made Xiaolin realize just how delicious they were.

"Well, consider this a personal reward for your excellent work. You'll get another bonus if the new game does well after its release. That's all, goodbye." Reiji smiled and handed the rest to Kanna, said goodbye to the three girls who were carrying loads of ingredients, and turned to leave without giving Kobayashi a chance to refuse.

"Kobayashi-san, this is a token of my appreciation from Raize-san, please accept it."

Thor, holding the ingredients in his arms, watched Reiji leave and then said with a smile.

Kobayashi looked at the ingredients in his arms with a bit of helplessness. After Kanna immediately took the ingredients and ran back into the house, he didn't say anything more. After all, it was a gift from the boss, and he was too embarrassed to refuse.

And with an extra dragon at home, we need to prepare more food; I heard from Lei Zhe that Kanna has a big appetite.
