Chapter 18: The Girl Standing on the Earth

"Mom, mom, why do people laugh at me? Why do I look different from everyone else?"

Probably because of crying outside, the little girl had a dirty face. She ran back home and hugged her mother's legs and cried sadly.

"That's because people just don't understand." The little girl's mother squatted down gently and wiped the little girl's cheek.

"Aine, remember, you are different from us who only know how to 'destruct'. You are a symbol of hope."

The little girl seemed to not understand her mother's words. She tilted her head and asked, "A symbol of hope."

“Ah, because our Aine is the beast of possibility,” the mother said with a smile.

But the little girl didn't seem to buy it. She pouted and said, "Mom, you always say that, but I can't beat you."

“Because, Aine’s power only works when it’s to save something precious.”

"What are the things you cherish?" The little girl couldn't help but blink.

"Well, for example, your future husband, or something like that." The little girl's mother tapped her nose lightly.

In the eyes of the little girl, her mother is an unparalleled beauty. The diamond-like scales remaining on her cheeks always make the little girl unable to take her eyes off her.

Listening to the storm outside, the girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at her hands.

"I am... I am... the beast of possibility, the symbol of hope, Mom..."

Aine finally understood the meaning of cherishing something. She turned gently to the centaur monster mother and daughter and said with a smile, "Sorry, I'll be out for a while and bring Yanami-kun back. You guys stay here."

"Miss! Don't..." However, the centaur girl, who was unable to move due to broken bones, stretched out her hand. Before she could stop the other party from doing something stupid, a gust of wind blew, and with a snap, the basement fell into silence again. The girl had already left the safe shelter.

The black storm raged across the entire city, as if even the earth was wailing miserably. Flowers and green plants were withering, and herds of cattle and sheep were swept into the air and fell tragically to the ground.

In this lifeless city, the strong wind blew through the girl's hair, and the girl stood tall on the ground.

She tore off her cloak, and her cute little fangs seemed to be growing. Her eyes slowly changed from their original gray to a brighter blue, and there was even a hint of the ferocity of a ferocious beast on her face.

"I...I am Aine Toko, a direct descendant of the Star Dragonborn Elu Toko!"

"Give...give my classmates back to me!"

Aine yelled towards the black storm.

Suddenly, it seemed as if some huge and ancient life force descended over the city of Tokoo.

The shadowy figure of a giant creature with outstretched wings seemed to hover over the city.

At this moment, all races hiding in the city’s indoor buildings to avoid the rain seemed to feel this pressure at the same time.

"Why...why is there a dragon's breath?"

"Yes, the Star Dragon. Why did a Star Dragon appear in Tokoo?"

Some old men who had experienced the Doomsday Twilight War could not help but open their heavy eyelids in surprise. Even the appearance of the Holy Rain did not shock them as much as they did at this moment.

They still remember the tragic war between the dragons, humans and demons, and still have a deep respect (fear) for the superior dragons.

Legend has it that the dragons, who retreated to an unknown sanctuary after the goddess disappeared, have reappeared in the world since the Last War.

The pressure from the superior species made everyone in the city tremble subconsciously.

All those who were hiding indoors from the black rainstorm subconsciously looked out the window, and then they saw a ray of light as bright as a meteor rising from the earth and rushing towards the black eye of the storm as if moving in reverse.

"Hello...classmate!" The meteor-like light emitted a sound that not many people could understand. However, at this moment, the momentum of this sound seemed to overshadow the terrible storm.

At this moment, Yanami, who was caught in the eye of the storm, had not lost consciousness yet. He had just opened the system and was about to press the logout button. He wondered if he would really become a rebirth strategy flow if he wanted to log in again.

The black rain not only took away my physical strength at a rapid speed, but also made my entire consciousness blurry. Now I could hardly breathe and couldn't care less. If I really died and returned to reality, I didn't know if there would be any sequelae.

However, just as he was about to log out, he heard that familiar roar.

"Hana-kun, see you...classmate!!!"

Obviously, there was only one person who would call him like that at this time.

The flickering light seemed to be trying hard to break through the violent eye of the storm.

"Are you really a fool?" Yanaijian cursed with a helpless look.

Even though I was blown away by the storm, nothing will happen as long as I log out of the other world.

"I will definitely...rescue you!" the girl in the meteor light shouted.

But seeing you like this, I can't...press the logout button, right?

Finally, Yana saw his fingers, waited for the system to slowly loosen, and tried hard not to faint.

Okay, if you want to be stupid, let’s be stupid together.

At this moment, Aine had already seen the boy who was like a grain of sand in the eye of the storm.

However, at this moment, she was still competing with the barrier-like eye of the storm in terms of strength.

The light like a meteor gradually faded away, but if the old man who had just witnessed the Doomsday War saw it, he would definitely be shocked. It was clearly emitting the aura of a star dragon, but the appearance that Aine changed into at this moment had nothing to do with the dragon clan in his impression.

According to the parchment scroll, the Star Dragon's entire body is covered with transparent scales as hard as diamonds. Almost all physical and magical attacks will be offset by these scales. When it spreads its huge wings, it can cover the sky and the sun. Its majesty is so great that most creatures dare not look directly at it, and can only crawl on the ground and tremble in fear.

But the "dragon" that Aine turned into at this moment looked a little... cute, with a round head, a fat body and small wings. It looked like there was nothing about it that could match the majestic and noble dragon clan.

Aine, who was struggling to break through the storm barrier, shouted, "Yanaimi-kun, I have a secret that I haven't told you yet."

"Everyone says I'm a deformed freak, a disgrace to the dragon clan! I don't look like a star dragon at all."

"I just ran away because I couldn't stand everyone's ridicule anymore."

As if to encourage herself, the girl (?) rushed towards the eye of the storm while confessing her feelings to the boy.

"I don't understand why I was born into this world."

“Even when I came to Toko’o, I didn’t dare reveal my true identity, for fear that I would continue to be laughed at.”

"But...but after seeing Yanaijian, I felt that...even if I'm like this...I can still protect something, I can protect your dream."

Dragonite... No, Aine finally broke through the eye of the storm, quickly came to Yanami, and held him tightly with both hands.

"Finally... I found you." Aine said with rapid breathing.

"You really are an idiot." Yanaijian slapped her little round head hard, seeming a little annoyed.

“Ah, don’t hit me, don’t hit me. The tentacles on my head are very sensitive.” Aine shouted.

That was where the dragon's horns should have been, but she only had two tentacles.

This is also what she feels ashamed of at the moment.

Now she has shown her most shameful side to the boy.

"Very, cute." However, the boy said.

"Eh?"

"I say, you are still cute even in this look." Yanaijian shouted somewhat shamelessly.

Damn it, you milk dragon, don’t make me feel embarrassed.

Aine stared at the boy in a daze. Even though she was in danger, she had never felt such real happiness before.

"How are we supposed to get out now?!" Yanami shouted. Now that Milk Dragon had broken in, it was impossible for him to leave her alone.

"I...I don't have the strength anymore." Aine shouted.

"Are you really stupid?"

I only think about how to get in and not how to get out.

How dare you curse Star Dragon like this? You are this...

"Don't you know any powerful magic, such as fire, ice, etc., to disperse the storm in a flash." Yanami shouted.

"My mom and dad can, my brothers and sisters can, but I can't," Aine shouted.

The Star Dragons, blessed by God, are born with the ability to understand their own unique dragon language magic, but Aiyin is the only one who cannot learn it no matter what.

"You're pretty proud, you little dragon."

Yanai could hardly hold back anymore.

"No, it's okay, I will definitely get Yanami-san out!"

Aine seemed to be mustering up her courage, and she was about to show her most shy side before meeting Yana.

Aine took a deep breath, and then...

"Moo!!!!" It was a loud roar of a cow.

"MOO!!!!!!"

Originally, Yanami thought that he had just misheard. A dragon's roar should be more majestic, but why did it sound like... a cow's cry?

However, at this moment, behind Aine, a giant shadow of Metauros appeared, the King of Metauros, furious as fire and with immense power.

This was an ability that Aine was never willing to show to others, and it was also the root cause of her being ridiculed.

Aiyin held Yanami in her arms and, like an angry bull, she pushed through numerous obstacles and broke through the storm's barrier.

Aine couldn't learn dragon language magic, but in return she gained the ability to imitate the characteristics of hundreds of races. Aine had come into contact with a bullfighting girl and a cow girl today, so she could imitate the unique supernatural power of the Metaurs.

However, since the emergence of such abilities in the Sanctuary, dragons have not considered them impressive. Instead, they have been ridiculed even more harshly because they do not use noble dragon language magic but imitate the ugly lower races.

But even so, now, Aine has used her own abilities to save the people she cares about.

When the two broke out of the eye of the storm, they found that the black clouds had moved away from Tokoo City.

The setting sun once again shines brightly below the distant horizon.

Yanami and Aine intertwined their fingers, and as if they were skydiving, they slowly spun in the sky and landed.

"Hahaha...Thank you, Yanai-kun!" Aine shouted excitedly in the air.

"Isn't this what I should be telling you? How can a rescuer thank the one being rescued?"

They couldn't help laughing when they saw each other.

But the next moment, Aine changed from Dragonite to human form.

“I’m… sorry…” Using the last of her abilities just now had already exhausted Aine.

Before she could get Yanami to the ground safely, she fainted.

"Hey...Aine!" Yanami shouted.

But without Aine's support, the two of them fell rapidly, and the rapid change in air pressure made Yanami, who had already consumed a lot of physical strength due to the black rain, almost faint.

I didn't expect that I would fail at the last moment. I wonder if I will be forced to log out when I wake up again?

But even so, Yanami still held the milk dragon in front of him, with himself underneath.

However, just when he was half asleep, he found that he and the milk dragon had slowed down, as if they were being dragged by something.

Is it Aine who woke up?

However, Yanami vaguely saw a black tail swaying, and at the end of the tail, there was a heart shape.

Subconsciously, he reached out and pulled the black tail.

“Waaaaaa…” Then came a familiar sound of surprise, but it wasn’t Aine’s.

Then the next moment, he fell to the ground unconscious.

Chapter 19: Drink Milk and Become a Dragon Rider

Yanajian slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself resting his head on the girl's knees.

"Are you awake?" Aine said in a gentle voice. She had transformed from her dragon form back to her original girlish appearance.

Just as Meow Meow said, most races cannot hide their racial characteristics, but Star Dragon is an exception.

The dragon race can switch between the two forms perfectly, which is one of the reasons why other races regard them as a symbol of "nobility".

"Have I become a girl?" Yanami answered subconsciously.

"Hmm, what do you mean? Seriously, you just woke up and you have time to joke around." Aine said with a little annoyance.

"Ahahaha, sorry, sorry, I just didn't expect that I could survive such a disaster..."

But for some reason, when he looked at Aine's cheeks, he saw a hint of red, as if she had done something embarrassing.
