The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"Alright, fellow immortals and seniors, I am Ayaka Kamisato. That black mist has appeared several times in Inazuma. It is indeed highly contagious and toxic. However, judging from the results, it is not incurable. But as for post-disaster treatment, sealing is one method, and fire is another. However, the temperature requirements are very high, which ordinary fire elemental gods may not be able to meet. On the other hand, regarding the contagiousness and toxicity of the black mist, since the powder can cause infection whether inhaled or touched, personnel protection must be properly implemented when handling the dust."

　Xiao Gong pulled a firework from his pocket, lit it with his God's Eye, and the firework burst into beautiful sparks. "Here, use fire. Try to gather all this dust together and then burn it off. But you must be careful to protect your personal safety during this process. This stuff is highly contagious. It took us more than a month to clean up that entire area."

　As he spoke, Xiaogong gestured with his chin towards the area shrouded in black mist, "But this time, it'll take half a year?"

　"By the way, how did you guys track us down here? I don't see any of you leading the way."

　"That's one of Lord Gongsi's spells. It can determine someone's location remotely, but it can only determine a general location. I just got here using that."

　Upon hearing Xiaogong's words, Ganyu was taken aback, thinking that the process was taking too long. Yelan then took out a berserk potion she carried with her and asked, "Do you recognize this?"

　Linghua took the potion from Yelan and examined it carefully. Yelan explained from the side, "This is a potion developed by the Fatui. It turns blackish-purple after being shaken. It was rampant in Liyue for a while before, but disappeared after a crackdown. Now it seems that one of the reasons the Fatui captured Xiaoguang was to produce this kind of thing."

　"Yes, Xiao Guang will produce countless powders as soon as he reverts to his original form, but Xiao Guang is usually very well-behaved, so it's not a problem."

　Meanwhile, Yomiya was also observing the surroundings. She had just absentmindedly sensed the little girl's location when she suddenly exclaimed happily, "Ayaka, Ayaka, Hikari's location has changed! Wait, she's on the east side now. Um, where is east of here?"

　Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun glanced in the direction and said, "To the east is Gui Li Yuan, and further east is Yao Guang Tan, but..."

　Ningguang knew what these immortals were worried about, so she took the initiative to say, "Keqing, would you please come along? I will send someone to clean this place up. After all, with Yaeji here, they will know how to clean up this powder. It just looks like it will take some effort. After you find Xiaoguang, just go back to Liyue Harbor. We will take care of this place."

　Yae no Miko stayed behind to help clean up the dust, while Ayaka and Yomi took Keqing eastward. In the distant Sumeru, Sanbing's consciousness backup returned to his new body through the means of the void. After waking up in the storage cabinet, Sanbing kicked open the door fiercely. He was beaten up by the black lizard once again. He came to the laboratory with great displeasure. Looking at the God Heart belonging to Raijin in his hand, Sanbing couldn't help but decide to speed up the god-making plan.

　Meanwhile, at the Red King's Tomb, the Doctor's other slice also received news of the sudden death of the Sumeru slice. In order to maximize his interests, the Doctor decided to go to Sumeru City.

　Let's turn our attention back to Liyue. Ayaka, Yuu, and Keqing finally found the young girl on the beach next to Guili Plain. At that moment, the girl had a fish in her mouth and was carrying a wild...

　The pig looks really hungry.

　Seeing the little girl's ravenous appetite, Ayaka and the other two immediately took her back to Liyue Harbor and had a big meal at Wanmin Hall. However, just as Ayaka was about to pay, Keqing stopped her. After all, Keqing was already a VIP customer at Wanmin Hall, and she could get a discount if she paid.

　After eating, Ayaka carried the little girl to the hotel where they were staying. It had been a long time since she had seen the little girl, and Ayaka hugged her tightly, replenishing her energy. At the same time, Ningguang and the others also returned. After the little girl left, the dust slowly settled on the ground. However, the dust covered a very large area, and the number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers and Pyro Eye users on site was not enough. Ningguang ordered people to guard the scene, and then returned to Liyue Harbor to redeploy troops.

　Inside the reception room, Linghua held the little girl and stroked her head intermittently. The little girl ate cookies one bite at a time. Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and Ganyu watched the two of them with some jealousy.

　"It hurts~"

　The little girl, who was eating, suddenly cried out. Ayaka immediately bent down to check where the little girl was injured.

　"Ouch, sister, come and see. Hmm, Xiaoguang, you can talk now. Where does it hurt? Let sister take a look."

　When Ayaka first saw the young girl, she had already examined her body and found no injuries. However, for a normal Black Eclipse Dragon, a young dragon at this stage would not be able to use a straight-line laser cannon. But the light is different. When she was fully activating the Crimson Emperor Dragon God Jade, she could indeed forcefully use the laser cannon and the Crimson Emperor Azure Star. Unfortunately, the pure ley line energy would also damage the young girl's own body tissues. The vitality of the Elder Dragon species is very strong, but the pain that must be endured still has to be endured. Of course, after transforming into human form, the pain would only have a slight lingering feeling from the original body. However, the young girl could still feel it every time she swallowed food.

　"It might be during his teething period. Xiao Guang was eating ribs just now. Speaking of which, Xiao Guang is at the age where he's losing his baby teeth." Gan Yu was also a little anxious and immediately offered her opinion, "Come on, open your mouth and let your sister see."

　The young girl obediently opened her mouth for Gan Yu to examine. Gan Yu's gaze carefully swept over the girl's white teeth. After examining them several times, Gan Yu came to the conclusion that the girl's teeth were very healthy. For Black Erosion Dragons, losing teeth is a very simple process. They are not even aware that they are losing teeth. Under the powerful vitality of the ancient dragon species, the fine dragon teeth will be replenished quickly. It's just a matter of losing a tooth, very simple.

　"The teeth are healthy and there are no signs of loosening, so it shouldn't be a baby tooth falling out."

　"Could it be that he fell ill after being frightened by the villains of the Fools? Let me take a look."

　Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun placed his hand on the little girl's forehead and felt no fever. After a while, the little girl's throat pain was almost gone, and she happily started eating again.

　P.S.: First update! A little late today, hehe~

　Volume 1: 090 - The Icefield Noblewoman

　The young girl would occasionally return to the New World. After arriving here, the Black Dragon would, as usual, look for food in the Everfrost Tundra, cross the snow-covered coniferous forest, and follow the glacier. After passing through a tunnel, the Black Dragon "saw" a magnificent ancient dragon.

　Velkhana, influenced by the Celestial Roar, migrated to the Hoarfrost Reach along with the Wind Wyvern. Although Velkhana was discovered by the New World Elder Dragon Survey Team, it was also recorded in the guild's ancient records. However, these records were not provided by hunters, but rather by adventurers and mountaineering enthusiasts who explored the extreme cold regions. In terms of time span and number, the sighting reports were actually very few.

　The noblewoman in the snow was covered in white armor, with her magnificent scales grading blue towards the tips. Her limbs were slender and long, yet full of explosive power. However, the most striking feature was the head of the Velkhana, which was covered with many upright spines, making it look like she was wearing a crown from a distance. This was the Velkhana's normal appearance. But when the Velkhana got serious, her limbs and wings would be covered with a layer of frost armor, making her even larger and more magnificent. Above her nose, a single horn made of ice crystals would condense, which was extremely dazzling.

　Although the Black Eclipse Dragon had disturbed the Everfrost Tundra several times, this was the first time it had seen the Ice Dragon. The Ice Dragon was fairly good-natured; upon seeing the Black Eclipse Dragon, it exhaled a puff of white steam from its nostrils. It had never seen this little guy before either. In terms of size, the Ice Dragon was a full twenty-five meters long, while the Black Eclipse Dragon was only twenty-three meters long. In its eyes, the Black Eclipse Dragon was still a little guy.

　After staring at each other for a moment, the Black Eclipse Dragon launched the first attack. "Roar!" the Black Eclipse Dragon roared and pounced on the Ice Dragon.

　The Cursed Dragon was surprised that this little guy dared to rush up, so it immediately flapped its wings and flew into the air, leaving the Black Devouring Dragon with nothing to catch up with.

　"roar~"

　The Velkhana roared, its long, slender tail lashing out at the Black Eclipse like a spear. As the Black Eclipse landed, its forepaws gripped the ice firmly. With a burst of power from its hind legs, it leaped out of the Velkhana's attack range. Upon seeing this, the Velkhana lowered its head and unleashed a powerful blast of icy air. Several ice crystals followed the blast, hurtling towards the Black Eclipse. The Black Eclipse took a step back, spread its wings and claws, and flew into the air, hurtling straight towards the Velkhana.

　The Velkhana flapped its beautiful, frost-covered wings to evade the Black Dragon's attack, then flung the Black Dragon, which had grabbed its tail, onto the snow. As a "peaceful" creature, the Velkhana doesn't attack humans unprovoked, nor does it visit its Elder Dragon neighbors every day—a model citizen indeed. At most, crafting frost armor is its greatest hobby. However, as a natural disaster, the Velkhana causes massive blizzards wherever it goes. In fact, during the early stages of the expedition, it even caused the base's food supplies to run out, almost forcing them to return empty-handed.

　Seeing that the little guy was a bit troublesome, the Ice Dragon flapped its wings, creating a blizzard before quickly flying away. The Black Eclipse Dragon had originally intended to use it to heal its sore throat, but after drinking some hot spring water, its throat started hurting again. Just as it was worrying, it suddenly heard a loud roar nearby. The Black Eclipse Dragon was overjoyed and immediately flew over.

　Compared to regular Wind Wyverns, Frostwing Wind Wyverns have darker skin, more developed ice packs, and can form spike-like frost on their bodies after secreting fluids. For Black Eclipse Dragons, Frostwing Wind Wyverns have an added advantage: they're like buy one get one free.

　Even with the Frostwing Winddragon and another Winddragon accompanying it, the Black Eclipse Dragon didn't take it seriously. Infected with the Mad Dragon Virus, the Winddragon was powerless to resist. After biting off the Frostwing Winddragon's head, the Black Eclipse Dragon drank the sweet dragon blood in large gulps. After finishing the drink, it was time to enjoy the Frostwing Winddragon's wing membranes and flesh. The crisp texture and cool taste greatly reduced the pain from the Black Eclipse Dragon's burned throat. Plus, it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Even though the taste of the ordinary Winddragon was slightly inferior to that of the Frostwing Winddragon, having something to eat was better than nothing. The Black Eclipse Dragon wasn't greedy.

　After enjoying the cold dishes, Black Devourer went to catch a Bull Dragon and planned to have Xiangling cook it for him. Black Devourer only remembered that he could take the Bull Dragon with him when he was almost finished eating it, and in the end, he only brought Xiangling the two lower legs.

　With a "bang," a gigantic creature, twenty-four meters long, was thrown into the courtyard behind Wanmin Hall. This time, the young girl finally remembered to bring something. After killing the bull dragon in the permafrost, the young girl brought the bull dragon to Wanmin Hall. However, the courtyard of Wanmin Hall was not very big, and the bull dragon alone filled the courtyard to the brim.

　"Xiao Guang, what kind of animal is this? We can't even get into the yard! The ingredients are all falling down!" Xiang Ling looked at the ingredients scattered all over the ground and the huge unknown creature. Although she felt sorry for the food on the ground, seeing this unknown creature immediately gave Xiang Ling a lot of cooking ideas, and her chef's soul was instantly ignited.

　"Da~"

　The little girl ran to Linghua's side, pointed at the bull dragon, and then pointed at the pot. Xiangling smiled and patted the little girl's head. Having spent a lot of time with Xiaoguang, she knew exactly what the little girl wanted to do. She smiled and said, "Hehe, Xiaoguang, I know what you mean. Don't worry, this one, is it a bull or a deer? Oh well, it doesn't matter, it has such big antlers anyway. Don't worry, I'll cook it up beautifully for you."

　Master Mao, standing to the side, was speechless with astonishment at the animal. Its mouth was wide open, big enough to swallow a goose egg. He had never seen such a large animal before. Seeing his daughter's composed demeanor, Master Mao's culinary spirit was ignited by Xiang Ling's burning culinary spirit.

　As Xiangling dissected the meat from the bull dragon, she said, "This tenderloin is really good. The meat is firm. Cut it into small pieces, skewer it, and grill it."

　"Wow, last time you gave me a calf, huh? Hehe, this time you have a thigh, perfect for making soup."

　"Ah, this taste! These offal, if cleaned properly, can be made into a delicious dish. Ah, help me, help me, rice crust."

　"Oh, Father, hurry and order a big pot! Sister Ganyu, please help me."

　As a result, Wanmintang temporarily closed down. Fortunately, Gan Yu, Shen He, and Ling Hua all possessed the Eye of the Ice Element, so there was no need to worry about the food spoiling.

　At Grandma Ping's place, Zhongli was sitting at the table drinking tea. Grandma Ping knew about what had happened recently.

　"We are so grateful to Mr. Zhongli for saving us this time, otherwise it would have been hard to say what would have happened to Xianyun and the Seven Stars."

　"According to general theory, that is indeed the case. Even in my prime, I might not be able to surpass Hikaru's power."

　"really?"

　"really."

　Volume 1: Chapter 91 - Encounter in Alcanretia

　In the early hours of the morning, somewhere on Earth, a man named Kazuma Sato, determined to buy the first-edition limited edition of a popular online game released that day, resolutely changed into a green tracksuit, slung a backpack over his shoulder, and arrived at the station under the moonlight. Having never exercised in years, he had spent five hours on the bus and then queued for two hours outside the game store. Finally, Kazuma, looking satisfied, boarded the bus for his return journey, clutching the game. After getting off, Kazuma complained about the official game's limited-edition sales policy as he walked home.

　For Kazuma Sato, who had been staying up all night for three days, the sunlight was a bit too strong. Just as he was thinking about going back to enjoy the game, a faint fragrance caught his attention. The source of the fragrance was a high school girl who brushed past him.

　Judging from the school uniform, she seemed to be a high school classmate. As Kazuma Sato thought this, he stepped forward. Just as he was about to look away from that somewhat lewd gaze, he saw a truck driving towards the high school girl. Without hesitation, Kazuma Sato pushed the girl away, and after that, his consciousness went into a blur.

　Meanwhile, things were not "peaceful" in Alcanretia.

　On the empty street, a loli-type girl wearing a witch's hat and a black mage's robe suddenly ran out of the alley and rushed in front of a girl. Just as the two were about to collide, the loli girl lost her footing and fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner. The girl did not get up immediately, but just lay down.

　"Ahhh! I actually... I actually fell down on flat ground like this, I'm so..."

　"Waaaaah, my knee is scraped, it hurts so much, I can't move it."

　"If this continues, the wound will get infected with bacteria, then it will become tetanus, and then... my poor life."

　The loli-like girl rolled on the ground while muttering to herself, glancing at the person every now and then. Seeing that the person hadn't left immediately, she felt a surge of joy.

　What are you doing here?

　Upon hearing the familiar voice, the loli-like girl froze. Alcanretia was a magical city on this continent, boasting the most hot springs in the entire continent. Its climate was warm and pleasant year-round, but no one wanted to come. Moreover, the sun was shining brightly, and the stone-paved roadside wasn't cold, yet the loli-like girl's body still trembled. Well, it certainly wasn't because the ground was too cold.

　Seeing that the loli-type girl didn't answer, the person continued, "Hey, Huihui, what are you doing here?"

　The girl called Huihui didn't speak. She quietly turned her back to the person, closed her eyes, and a bead of cold sweat involuntarily seeped out from her forehead. She was thinking about how to play dead to get away with it.

　"What the hell are you doing in a place like this?!"

　Youyou stepped forward and grabbed Huihui, who was lying on the ground, and shook her back and forth. Huihui was too guilty to speak, but the more Huihui remained silent, the more vigorously Youyou shook her. In the end, Huihui couldn't stand the hardness of the ground and cried out in despair.

　"Ahhh, Youyou, stop it! Stop it! My knee, my knee hurts so much! Please stop!"

　"Stop it! Don't roll it anymore, Yoyo~"

　"Huihui~" Youyou called out helplessly.

　After venting her emotions, Youyou let go of Huihui's hand. Huihui then stood up and straightened her clothes. Youyou put her hands on her hips and said to her, "Tell me, you suddenly fell down and asked a passerby for help. What were you going to do next?"

　"I'm the one who has a question for you. Why are you here?" Faced with Youyou's questioning, Huihui didn't think anything of it. This matter was a promise she had made herself, using her high intelligence as a Crimson Demon to help the Axis Cult recruit followers.

　"Um, well, this..."

　"Why did you bring Douzhizhu along? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, this, this little kid, Youyou, when did you have a child?"

　Huihui then noticed that there was a child next to Youyou, with a cascade of black hair, wearing a gorgeous blue and white dress, and an oversized cloak covering her body. She was stuffing a bag of biscuits into her mouth. Youyou's face immediately turned red, and she waved her hands, saying, "No, no, she is a child I found on the road. I felt sorry for her, so I took her with me. I brought her here because Douzhizhu missed you. Look how happy she is to see you."

　After Yu-Yu finished speaking, she immediately picked up Do-Nosuke from the ground and placed him in front of Megumin. Megumin looked at Do-Nosuke washing her face with suspicion, completely unable to believe what Yu-Yu said.

　Just as Youyou was about to continue explaining, an older man suddenly appeared near them. "I've been curious about you ever since you arrived. Who are you, and what is your relationship with Miss Huihui?"

　Yu-Yu was startled by the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man. She instinctively took a step back, shielding the little girl behind her, and whispered, "I... I'm Hui-Hui's rival. Actually, I've been curious about you two from the beginning too. What exactly is your relationship?"

　. "

　The man said with a smirk, "You're asking about my relationship with Miss Huihui? Well, it's us."

　Huihui pointed out the relationship between the two without any mercy, "This is Mr. Jesta of the Axis Order."

　“The Axis Order…” Youyou murmured, repeating the order’s name, her expression turning frightened.

　"Miss Huihui is helping me persuade believers."

　Youyou looked at Huihui with an incredulous expression. "Was that persuasion just now?"

　Huihui tried her best to keep her eyes off Youyou, but suddenly she thought of something. "Youyou, what's going on with this child? Let me tell you, if you kidnap someone else's child, I'll tell the police. Even if you're my rival, I'll still report you to the police station, and then I'll take the reward and go to Axel."

　“Cai Cai, no, Hui Hui, what are you thinking? As for Xiao Guang, I found her on the way to Alcanretia. When I first found her, she was eating wild fruits and raw meat outside and couldn’t speak. Who would have the heart to let such a pitiful child wander outside?”

　Huihui walked towards the little girl and reached out to touch her. "So her name is Xiaoguang. So, Youyou, are you planning to keep her with you? It's really difficult for a novice adventurer to raise a child."

　The little girl shook her head to avoid Huihui's hand, popped the last cookie into her mouth, and then reached out to Youyou, "Tap~"

　"Are you hungry again? Um, Huihui, do you have any money? Can you lend me some? I want to buy some food for Xiaoguang."

　Huihui looked at Youyou with a resentful expression. When Huihui first arrived in Alcanretia, she also thought about becoming an adventurer to earn money for the carriage to the next region. However, the Adventurers' Guild had level restrictions, and Huihui regretfully could not accept missions. So, Huihui could only look for work to save money, just like in the Scarlet Devil Village. But she also encountered setbacks everywhere she looked for work, just like in the Scarlet Devil Village. She had no choice but to accept the Axis Order's offer of shelter. So, Huihui is now penniless.

　As the little girl dodged Megumin's touch, her cloak fell down, revealing her dragon horns and tail. Megumin and Jesta also saw her face. At that moment, Uncle Jesta, as if he had been wandering in the desert for half a month and suddenly found water, excitedly rushed towards the little girl, shouting, "Wryyyyyyyy, loli, loli!!"

　Seeing Jesta's recklessness, Youyou cried out in alarm, "Uncle, no! Xiaoguang doesn't like it!"

　Before Youyou could finish speaking, with a "bang," a massive white blade radiating cold air slammed down on the uncle's cheek. "Wow, a super S-class magical artifact!" As someone from a family of artifact makers, Huihui immediately recognized how powerful this weapon was.

　The frost-white giant blade smashed a huge crater in the street. Only then did Jesta notice the dragon horns and tail on the little girl's body. The little girl's crimson-gold pupils were fixed on the man, as if she would use the frost-white giant blade to pry open Jesta's skull if he dared to take another step. Jesta's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He glanced at the giant blade and pretended to be calm, saying, "Ahem, although it's not bad to chat like this in front of a girl, based on my experience, passersby who see this scene will probably call the police. Before the police arrive, let's go back to the church and talk in detail there. The church can provide food. Hey, isn't Hikari hungry?"

　Fireflies~.jpg

　P.S.: First update! My friend got dumped and dragged me drinking, we've been drinking since I got off work!

　PS2: Hehe, we've arrived at Konosuba's side, starting with the Explosion Arc!

　Volume 1: 092 - Jesta's Arrest

　"A loli, another loli."

　"Wow, our order has a second loli!"

　When Huihui, Youyou, and the little girl entered the cult, a loud commotion immediately erupted from the believers. Huihui suppressed the urge to unleash an explosion spell, looked speechlessly at the believers of the Axis Cult, and then turned to Youyou through gritted teeth, saying, "These male believers are forbidden from contacting children in the city for some reason, which is why they reacted this way. If it weren't for the fact that they provided them with accommodation, I would definitely have given them an explosion spell."

　"What on earth did they do to warrant this ban? Ah, Hikari, don't look at these scumbags. Come, sit here." Yuu covered the little girl's eyes and walked forward, while Douzuke nestled in Megumin's loose chest, watching the excited cultists.

　After Youyou, Huihui, and the young girl sat down, Jesta had already arranged for the followers to prepare fresh food. "Come, everyone, please enjoy your meal." Cecily placed the food in front of the three of them. The sparkling water overflowing with foam, the tender stewed meat, and the fragrant bread immediately attracted the young girl's attention. She had never tasted food like this before.

　"Wait, it's not like you ate these meals and then... you're telling me..."

　"From this moment on, you are followers of the Axis Cult, or something like that." Youyou realized something immediately when she thought that this was the headquarters of the Axis Cult.

　Cecily turned her head to the side and whispered, "Of course not, I swear to Lady Aqua I would never say such a petty thing."

　So that's what they're going to say. Youyou looked at Huihui, who was enjoying her meal, and the little girl who had ordered another plate. She glanced at Jesta and Cecily with some concern, but seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, she finally sat down to enjoy her meal. After arranging the recruitment, Jesta quietly sat down next to the three of them and said, "Miss Youyou, judging from the situation just now, you're short of money, just like Miss Huihui. If you'd like, we can lend you a room in this church. You can stay here until you find a job."

　"Really? Thank you so much. I feel really bad, but you've really been a great help. Um, if there's anything I can do, just let me know."
