The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Volume 1: Chapter 233 - Venus at Dawn

　The Reincarnation Lord swung its tail, swatting away the Black Eclipse Dragon that lunged at it. Then, it grabbed the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon in mid-air and slammed it to the ground. Immediately afterward, it lowered its head and spewed the Mad Dragon Virus at the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon stretched out its wing claws and desperately tried to stab at the Reincarnation Lord, but after spewing the Mad Dragon Virus, the Reincarnation Lord simply flapped its wing claws and left. The Mad Dragon Virus exploded instantly, blasting the back of the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon into a bloody mess, from which blackish-purple dragon blood immediately flowed out.

　The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon struggled to its feet. The powerful force from devouring the red flying insects allowed it to quickly regenerate a layer of pink skin and soft scales to cover the wound and stop the bleeding. The Black Eclipse Dragon beside it let out a few low growls from its throat. Out of fear of the unknown adult form, the Black Eclipse Dragon did not actively attack the World Lord, but slowly approached the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon.

　The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon roared at the Black Eclipse Dragon, then gathered the Mad Dragon Virus in its wing claws. It leaped high into the air and pounced towards the Returning World Lord, slamming down on her. The Returning World Lord stretched out her wing claws and grabbed the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's swooping wing claws. The Mad Dragon Virus exploded between the two dragons' wing claws. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon flapped its wide wing membranes forcefully, trying to knock the Returning World Lord to the ground, but due to the difference in size, it still found it difficult to do so.

　The Lord of Reincarnation gripped the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws tightly, then slammed it to the ground. The Lord of Reincarnation then raised its wing claws and slammed them down, a wave of eerie blue light instantly engulfing the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's body. The impact of the exploding rock struck the dragon's injured back, shattering the previously regenerated skin and soft scales, causing dragon blood to gush out like water. "Roar!" The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon struggled to its feet. Just as the Lord of Reincarnation was about to attack again, it found its tail being pulled by something. Turning its head, it saw that the Black Eclipse Dragon had bitten its own tail.

　The Lord of Rebirth raised its left hind leg and stomped down hard, causing waves of eerie blue light to appear on the ground. Before the Black Eclipse Dragon could figure out what it was, the blue light exploded, and the Black Eclipse Dragon, in pain, released its grip. The Lord of Rebirth then swung its tail, sending the Black Eclipse Dragon flying to the side. At this moment, the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon seized the opportunity to jump to the side of the Lord of Rebirth, extending its wing claws and viciously stabbing at the Lord of Rebirth's side abdomen. The Lord of Rebirth turned its head and sprayed a purple beam of light at the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon. The beam struck the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws, instantly turning them into a bloody mess. However, the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon did not stop its attack, leaving three wounds on the Lord of Rebirth's side abdomen, and crimson dragon blood immediately covered the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws.

　Upon smelling the blood of the Reincarnation Lord, the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon became excited and opened its mouth to bite down. Its sharp fangs tore open the Reincarnation Lord's soft side abdomen, leaving behind a series of ferocious wounds. The Reincarnation Lord angrily swung its wing claws and punched the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon in the chest, sending it flying. Even so, the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon still tore a large chunk of flesh from the Reincarnation Lord's side abdomen.

　In general, the World Lord's combat experience is still insufficient. After all, most of her previous combat experience involved one-hit kills. The few she couldn't defeat, besides Miss Mira, included Lan Mei, namely Nergigante and Kushala Daora. Kushala Daora is gentle by nature, while Nergigante, although irritable, is about the same in melee combat. Nergigante has extremely strong regenerative and recovery abilities. She can absorb the energy of ley lines and dragon crystals. If the two dragons were to fight to the death, it would be a thankless and exhausting struggle.

　On the other side, Lanmei had just finished eating the cocoon left behind after the young girl finished molting. Don't underestimate these cocoon pieces. In order to give herself a comfortable molting environment, the young girl used pure ley line energy to make a cocoon for herself. For the ancient dragon, this kind of energy is considered a good supplement.

　Lanmei had just finished absorbing the cocoon fragments and followed the scent of the young girl.

　Upon arriving at the forbidden area, she saw four upright creatures pacing around the entrance. Lanmei initially wanted to revert to her dragon form and unleash a Water-Cutting Breath attack on them, but considering that this was a matter for young girls, she abandoned the idea and quietly went to a higher point in the forbidden area.

　When the guide worm turned from blue to red, Bai Feng knew he had found the right place. After taking several deep breaths, Bai Feng looked up at the dim sky and said, "We've arrived. Now, let's get straight to the hunting activity."

　"I understand. Then go and prepare for the hunt, and start hunting as soon as you're done."

　"Okay, you two."

　When Bai Feng and the others stepped into the forbidden area, the first thing they saw was the huge white-gold ancient dragon in the center of the forbidden area. The white-gold ancient dragon was raising its wing claws to strike the Chaos Black Erosion Dragon. As the wing claws sank into the ground, a twenty-meter-long dark blue light appeared in front of them. Then the light exploded, leaving a huge trench in the ground.

　Bai Feng immediately understood everything. She was all too familiar with this move and energy. Little rascal, huh? Then Bai Feng glanced around again. Black Erosion Dragon, Chaos Black Erosion Dragon, and Heavenly Return Dragon—all three dragons were there.

　As expected, she had tracked the wrong target. The Black Devouring Dragon that had been hiding in the shadows was the King of Darkness Black Devouring Dragon from the New World. Moreover, judging from its size, Bai Feng thought that this was definitely not the size that an ordinary Heavenly Returning Dragon should have. Perhaps the Dragon History Academy would need to create a separate subspecies for it.

　The Lord of Rebirth didn't notice Bai Feng and the others. He opened his mouth and fired a beam of light at the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon in the distance. The scorching beam instantly melted the rocks in the distance, leaving a burn mark on the ground. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon spread its huge wings and climbed up at top speed to avoid the Lord of Rebirth's breath. Seeing this, the Lord of Rebirth immediately flew into the air to chase after the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon. The Lord of Rebirth flew above the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon and tried to grab it. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon immediately folded its wings and moved to the side. The Lord of Rebirth followed suit and circled to the side. However, because the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon was smaller, the Lord of Rebirth was ultimately at a disadvantage in terms of speed.

　The Reincarnation soared to a high place, then retracted its talons and crashed directly into the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon tried to dodge, but the Reincarnation suddenly spread its talons to slow itself down, then grabbed the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon and forcefully strangled its neck with its talons, flying it to the ground.

　With a loud "bang," the Chaos Black Corrosion Dragon let out a miserable cry. The Lord of Reincarnation then spread his wings and flew into the air. His platinum-gold wing membranes opened, shimmering with dazzling light in the dim sky.

　Upon seeing this scene, Bai Feng suddenly understood why the inhabitants of Sky Mountain hundreds of years ago worshipped Tianhui Dragon as a god. Bai Feng thought to himself, if it weren't for the Mad Dragon Virus, Tianhui Dragon would probably be a decent ancient dragon.

　Before Bai Feng could finish his exclamation, the Lord of Reincarnation in the sky let out a roar, which triggered several bursts of mad dragon explosions. As the mad dragon explosions gradually gathered towards the Chaos Black Erosion Dragon, the Lord of Reincarnation spat out several spheres of mad dragon virus. After landing, the spheres of mad dragon virus immediately formed a mad dragon aura and then exploded.

　Bai Feng was still observing the Heavenly Returning Dragon when she suddenly noticed that these Mad Dragon Virus Spheres were flying towards them. She immediately shouted to her teammates behind her, "Get out of the way!"

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: It's true that some creatures in the biological world eat eggshells as their first source of nutrition after birth, and that's all ley line energy. As for the rationale behind it, dragons probably don't need that, hehe~

　Volume 1: Chapter 234 - The Fallen Azure Star

　Since awakening, the World-Returner has felt something was wrong with her body. Just like when she was born knowing she had sight but could only perceive her surroundings through scales, she felt like a car idling when absorbing ley line energy, as if it would stall at any moment. The energy was not flowing smoothly in her body. She thought that resting for a while would be enough. Even when her sister came to play with her, her attention was always on trying to activate that thing. But no matter how she tried to extract ley line energy again or even use the energy to smash through the rock, the sluggish feeling in her body did not disappear.

　But just now, the Reincarnated One has successfully ignited the fire!

　Seeing that the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon had dodged the Mad Dragon's explosion, the Lord of Reincarnation opened his mouth and spat out a beam of azure light. The beam was so fast that the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon didn't even have time to dodge. It let out a miserable "roar" and fell to the ground. The scales on its left wing claw were instantly burned away, revealing the red flesh that was about 80% cooked. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon raised its head and let out an angry roar at the Lord of Reincarnation. The Lord of Reincarnation retracted its wing claw and then pounced on the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon.

　As the Lord of Reincarnation landed, spiderweb-like spots of light immediately appeared on the ground of the forbidden area. A moment later, the entire ground exploded. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, which had narrowly escaped the Lord of Reincarnation's attack, had no choice but to take off, trying to avoid the exploding ground and recover its strength. As the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon took off, the Lord of Reincarnation's crimson-gold dragon eyes had already locked onto her. The Lord of Reincarnation slightly raised...

　At the start, a massive azure beam of light shot towards the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon once again, which hurriedly swooped down to the ground to avoid the beam from the World Lord.

　However, the beam of light from the Lord of Reincarnation did not stop. As it swept past the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's back, it gradually accelerated and then contracted, "Poof!" The beam directly sliced ​​through the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's abdomen and hind legs, and even a small piece of its tail tissue. Dragon blood splattered out immediately, and the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon collapsed to the ground in pain. The Lord of Reincarnation then gritted its teeth and closed its mouth, and the beam instantly detonated the ground beneath the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's feet. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's abdomen and legs suffered severe injuries, and the aftershocks of the explosion tore open the wounds that the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon had barely managed to heal.

　Just as the Black Eclipse Dragon, who was hiding to the side out of fear of the Reincarnation Lord, was about to do something, the Reincarnation Lord turned his head and spat a beam of light in the direction of the Black Eclipse Dragon. The beam struck the Black Eclipse Dragon's back, instantly burning her flesh and blood. Although it was a beam of light that was suddenly spat out, it was enough to cause considerable damage to the Black Eclipse Dragon. If she were to be hit again by the flesh and blood wound, she might really die at the hands of the Reincarnation Lord.

　"Hey, Captain, I get the feeling this Chaos Black Corrosion Dragon is just asking for death."

　"For the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, it can neither revert to becoming a Black Eclipse Dragon nor become a Heavenly Returning Dragon. It can only spend the rest of its life in pain. Perhaps death is the best choice for it."

　"Why don't we take this opportunity to hunt down that Heavenly Returning Dragon? The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon and the Black Eclipse Dragon are currently fighting it."

　Bai Feng and Aiden glanced at Cooper speechlessly, thinking that this hunter was good in every way, except that he was a bit silly.

　As energy poured out, the rock surface was burned to a reddish-brown color. The Chaos Black Erosion Dragon flapped its wings and claws, struggling to fly away from the scorching ground. The Lord of the World then blasted a beam of light at the spot where the Chaos Black Erosion Dragon landed. The Chaos Black Erosion Dragon knew that if it were hit directly in the head or heart by the beam, it probably wouldn't survive the light, but it still didn't want to die so easily.

　The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon lay sprawled on the ground, a beam of azure light grazing its back before striking the rock wall. Ignoring the pain of its scales melting and its skin tearing open, the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon stubbornly lunged at the Reincarnation Lord. The Reincarnation Lord turned its head, opened its mouth, and bit the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, slamming it to the ground. Sharp dragon teeth pierced the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's neck. After twisting its neck and dragging the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon several times, the Reincarnation Lord spewed a beam of azure light from its mouth, striking the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's body. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, completely disregarding the azure light burning its scales, struggled frantically and extended its wing claws to scratch at the Reincarnation Lord's back, attempting to inflict some damage.

　As a burst of azure flames erupted, the Lord of Reincarnation spread its wings, grasped the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, and flew into the sky. Its sharp forepaws firmly embedded themselves between the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon's bones. Then, more azure flames spewed from the Lord of Reincarnation's mouth. With a "bang," the Lord of Reincarnation released its wing claws, and the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon was slammed heavily to the ground. "Aow!!" The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon let out a miserable cry and desperately tried to get up from the ground to attack again. The Lord of Reincarnation, flying in mid-air, flapped its wing claws to gain altitude, then turned and opened its mouth towards the ground.

　"Danger! Danger! Get out of the way! Get out of the way right now!"

　The Reincarnated One continuously spewed out azure light that impacted the ground, gradually turning the forbidden area crimson. Without a second thought, Bai Feng kicked Cooper away, and Aiden followed suit, kicking Kemp. Urged on by Bai Feng, the four of them scrambled out of the forbidden area. The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon on the ground was still struggling to take flight, but the azure flames continuously scorched its wing membranes. The Black Eclipse Dragon beside it glanced at the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon and then quickly left the forbidden area.

　The Reincarnated One circled in the air, then twisted its head, and a dazzling white ball of light appeared from its mouth. As it fell, it gradually turned into a pale blue ball of light, and then landed on the ground of the forbidden area.

　"Boom!" A huge explosion rang out in the restricted area. The scalding blast of air instantly hit the hunters, sending them flying. The azure star of light spewed out by the World Lord was enough to instantly destroy the flesh of any creature it touched. The tidal wave of azure flames caused the scales and flesh of the Chaos Black Corruption Dragon to evaporate instantly. The Chaos Black Corruption Dragon didn't even have time to react before its consciousness finally stopped at the moment the azure star of light fell.

　The Lord of Rebirth shook his head and landed on the ground. Lan Mei, dressed in a light cherry blossom kimono, fell from a height and walked to the Lord of Rebirth's side. She raised her head and carefully examined the Lord of Rebirth. The Lord of Rebirth also lowered his head. After a few seconds of eye contact between his crimson-gold pupils and emerald-green pupils, the Lord of Rebirth transformed back into a young girl in a burst of blue light.

　The little girl's original blackish-purple dragon horns turned reddish-brown, and her slender black tail turned platinum. She also grew to 112 centimeters tall, almost matching the height of Lan Mei, who was only 168 centimeters tall. However, the little girl's full head of black hair did not change much, except that the purple hair on the inside of her hair turned platinum.

　"Are you alright now?"

　"Yeah, Hikaru is fine now, but he's hungry."

　After saying that, the little girl looked around at the surrounding environment. Since Sky Mountain was no longer suitable for eating, Lanmei led the little girl toward the village of Xinaer to the west.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Yeah, the power levels aren't inconsistent, everyone! Don't worry, Hikari is my favorite little girl, how could her power levels be low? She just woke up, so it needs a little time to activate her powers for the first time~

　Please believe me, the power levels won't drop, Hikaru is the strongest!

　Volume 1: 235 - An Investigation into the Returning Lord

　In the village of Sindal, at the hunters' meeting place, Bai Feng was telling the village chief and the high monk about the origin of the Heavenly Returning Dragon.

　After listening, the village chief clapped his hands. "I've heard the Grand Elder talk about the Ancient Dragon Crossing before. I never imagined that it was an Ancient Dragon that feeds on the energy of the earth's veins. Even as a juvenile, it can attract older Ancient Dragons to the Valley of Miasma. Once it grows up, it can even change the environment at will. If it weren't for the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team, the entire ecosystem of the New World would probably have collapsed."

　"If we hadn't been able to defeat it in time, that would probably have been the outcome. Moreover, according to the Grand Master, the Heavenly Returning Dragon that appeared in the Valley of the Netherworld was probably attracted by the Nether Lantern Dragon. When we went to the Valley of the Netherworld again to investigate, we only saw the corpse of the Nether Crimson Dragon and a newly born Black Eclipse Dragon."

　The senior monk nodded and said, "If that's the case, then it's true. The scholars of the Dragon Academy believe that when a Black Erosion Dragon is born, it carries some of the host's characteristics. This could explain why this Heavenly Return Dragon is so unusual. It must possess some of the characteristics of the Crimson Dragon."

　Bai Feng thought to himself, "That's no longer just possessing some of the characteristics of a Safi'jiiva; it's a Safi'jiiva with the skin of a Celestial Wraith." Realizing this, Bai Feng felt a headache coming on. In the Valley of the Dark Realm, the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team had gathered the strength of five survey teams, totaling more than 500 people, to wear down the Safi'jiiva. Now it had appeared in the Forbidden Zone. What was he to do? To make matters worse, it wasn't just a Safi'jiiva, but a Celestial Wraith. Bai Feng suddenly realized something.

　"In that case, it shouldn't be called the Heavenly Returning Dragon anymore. When we apply for support from the Dragon History Academy, we should probably ask them to come up with a new name."

　"The Lord of Reincarnation, her name is the Lord of Reincarnation." A clear voice told Bai Feng and the others the monster's name.

　Bai Feng looked in surprise in the direction of the voice and saw a silver-haired dragon girl wearing a light cherry blossom kimono and a black-haired dragon girl wearing a light-colored haori sitting on a chair eating. Bai Feng recognized them at a glance as the dragon sisters he hadn't seen in a long time and said, "Long time no see, you two. May I ask why you call it the Lord of Reincarnation?"

　Lanmei glanced at the little girl chewing on a fried pork cutlet and thought to herself, "That's her name," but Lanmei wouldn't say it out loud.

　“We’ve also been investigating the Heavenly Returning Dragon, but our investigation is in a different direction than yours. And based on what you just said, the name ‘Returning World Master’ is most suitable for her.”

　The head monk nodded, indicating that the name was indeed very suitable. After expressing his gratitude to Lanmei, Baifeng said, "Because of the appearance of the Heavenly Returning Dragon, the area surrounding Xinard Village has become very dangerous. Moreover, monsters will also become ferocious after inhaling the Mad Dragon Virus. If it is not necessary, I suggest that you two not leave the village casually."

　"You too, even in this situation, you haven't chosen to abandon the village."

　The young girl was chewing on grilled ribs when she heard Lanmei and Baifeng discussing the Reincarnation Lord. After swallowing the meat in her mouth, she raised her hand and said, "I am..."

　Before the little girl could finish speaking, Lanmei grabbed a skewer of grilled fish and stuffed it into her mouth. Of all things, eating is the most important, so the little girl gave up on speaking and lowered her head to chew the fish.

　Bai Feng smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "It's strange, but when I saw this ancient dragon, which was almost unfamiliar and extremely dangerous, I thought I would be afraid and nervous. But after seeing it, all my previous nervousness and fear disappeared. Now all I can think about is how to protect the village."

　Watching Bai Feng quietly leave, Lan Mei picked up a slice of scallop sashimi and put it in her mouth, saying to the little girl, "Humans are such strange creatures, aren't they, Xiao Guang?"

　After nodding, the young girl began to devour the crispy fried pork tenderloin in front of her. The special spices of Xinard Village gave the crispy fried pork tenderloin an enticing aroma that blended the fragrance of meat and spices. In addition, there was a plate of snow crab fried rice. Although it was called fried rice, it was actually made of dragon meat scraps, scallops, prawns, bone octopus and a very small amount of rice. The aroma of dragon meat and the freshness of prawns and scallops filled the young girl's mouth. Finally, there was a seafood soup. The thick soup was filled with fortress crab meat, legion sardines and lily squid, and of course, a thick layer of cheese.

　As for Arashi's set meal, it included a deluxe sashimi platter, caviar sushi, and a bottle of sake. Arashi's appetite wasn't as enormous as the young girl's, but she had very high standards for the refinement and freshness of the food. This time, Arashi chose sake to accompany her meal, but the young girl found the bitter taste of this drink...

　She declined the polite offer and preferred to drink the Star Brandy next to her.

　On the other side of the meeting place, the village chief, the high priest, and Bai Feng quickly discussed and determined their next strategy. The village chief went to the Dragon Academy to report the situation and request that the Dragon Academy send more hunters to provide support. The high priest was responsible for directing the hunters and villagers on site to deal with the berserk beasts in a timely manner. Bai Feng and the other four hunters, including Aiden, were to carry out a reconnaissance mission, which was to find out as much as possible about the ecological habits of the World Lord. The most crucial thing was to find out whether the World Lord had the habit of arbitrarily changing the ecological environment like the Fatalis. Moreover, they should not directly engage the World Lord in battle unless absolutely necessary.

　After Bai Feng finished telling Leonard what she had seen in the restricted area, she called the remaining three teammates to Sky Mountain. When they arrived at the center of the restricted area, they did not find the figure of the World Lord. Instead, Aiden pointed to the white-gold scales floating in the air.

　“This is not a firefly, this is the Mad Dragon Virus. It is exactly the same as the scale powder that the Dragonman scholars collected deep in the Convergence Land. No wonder that Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon failed to molt in front of us. It turns out that this Mad Dragon Virus has already spread throughout Sky Mountain.”

　Aiden collected some blackish-purple and white-gold scales and put them in a bottle. Hearing Bai Feng's words, he said, "Then, where did the World-Returning Lord molt?"

　"This question can probably only be answered after defeating the Lord of the World. However, it was difficult to capture in the New World when it was still a Black Eclipse Dragon, let alone now that it has molted and become the Lord of the World. Although it is not as big as the Safi'jiiva, its destructive power to the ecosystem is no less than that of the Safi'jiiva."

　The forbidden area was filled with rock fragments left behind after the explosion of the Crimson Emperor Azure Star, the Lord of the Reincarnation. Bai Feng was curious about where the Lord of the Reincarnation had gone. According to the ecological habits of the Safi'jiiva, after draining the ley line energy of a certain place, the Safi'jiiva would move to another place to continue draining the ley line energy. According to the ecological report of the Celestial Dragon, the Celestial Dragon would usually stay in the forbidden area and spread its scales until the hunters came to hunt it down.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Well, this part of the story is coming to an end, and a new story will begin. By the way, the Monster Hunter story isn't over yet; Fire Village is still there, and the New World is still there too!

　Volume 1: Chapter 236 - Inazuma's Summer Festival

　Unlike the ecological report of the Celestial Wyvern, the Lord of the World did not take the hunters seriously like the ordinary Celestial Wyvern. It seemed that spreading scale powder in the restricted area was just a task for the Lord of the World. After listening to Bai Feng's description, the Great Monk boldly speculated that the Lord of the World had already surpassed the ordinary Celestial Wyvern, and its journey was still very long.

　Teyvat, Inazuma, Wooden Leak Tea Room.

　Ayaka Kamisato carefully examined the baby's breath and hydrangea in her hands, then picked up scissors to cut off the excess flower stems. Next, she made a circle around the edge of the flowerpot, then used lisianthus to set the height, and then placed hyacinths, cecilia, and calla lilies in the flowerpot. Finally, she adjusted the direction of the flowers to create the feeling of a sea breeze blowing, thus completing a flower arrangement.

　As the younger sister of the head of the Shaka Magistrate, one of the three magistrates, and also known as the "White Heron Princess" in Inazuma, Ayaka Kamisato has many daily studies, but her favorite is flower arranging. The Shaka Magistrate has always supported Inazuma's flower arranging career, and whenever possible, Ayaka Kamisato provides funds every year to promote the art of flower arranging. At this year's Kanda Festival, Ayaka Kamisato also held a flower arranging competition called "Flower Shadow Garden." However, looking at the works in front of her, Ayaka Kamisato sighed softly.

　As for the reason.

　Since the young girl sent Yu-Yu back to Axel, Ayaka hadn't seen her for a long time. Although she knew very well that with the young girl's strength, no one could bully her, and she herself couldn't possibly go hungry, Ayaka couldn't help but worry about her. Ayaka quietly looked at the arrangement before her. The flower stems and green leaves scattered around her and on the ground indicated that her mood hadn't been calm throughout the process. This arrangement didn't satisfy her. After filling the flowerpot with water, Ayaka placed it in the center of the table, and then sensed the location of the elemental crystals.

　Ayaka Kamisato suddenly froze. Her elemental senses had actually responded! Ayaka Kamisato found it hard to believe, and after sensing more carefully, she confirmed it was indeed the resonance of elemental crystals. Moreover, judging from the location of the resonance, the young girl was indeed inside Inazuma Castle. Ayaka Kamisato's lips suddenly curled up, and the gloom on her face vanished. Just then, Thomas pushed open the door and asked, "Young lady, what would you like to eat for lunch today? I bought a batch of pretty good crabs at the port."

　Ayaka Kamisato said cheerfully, "Hikaru's here in Inatsume! I won't be eating here for lunch. Oh, right, I'll head out now. Could you please clear the table for me?"

　"Yes, Miss. Hey, Hikaru!"

　By the time Thomas realized what was happening, Ayaka Kamisato had already run out of the wooden tea room.

　Inside the Wuyou Pavilion, a young girl was stuffing hamburger patties into her mouth one bite at a time. These patties are made by first pounding beef and pork, then chopping them, adding eggs and mixing them, then adding minced ginger, minced onion, salt, pepper and other seasonings and kneading them together. Finally, they are pressed into a fairly firm patty, then drizzled with olive oil in a pan and fried until they turn dark brown and the crust is crispy.

　For adventurers, a perfect adventurer's meal consists of a meat pie sandwiched between bread, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, though the little girl only loves the meat pie.

　Next to Lanmei was a plate of tricolor dumplings and raspberry water buns. Compared to the food in Jieyun Village, the portions here were smaller but quite exquisite. Looking at the raspberry water buns that looked like solidified water, Lanmei couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. It wasn't as sweet as the tricolor dumplings, but it had a unique flavor.

　Soon, Ayaka found the Utopia Pavilion by following her elemental senses. After scanning the area, Ayaka immediately located the little girl. After all, judging from her clothes and eating speed, the little girl was the most conspicuous person in the entire Utopia Pavilion. However, Ayaka then noticed something unusual.

　The little girl's dragon horns changed from blackish-purple to reddish-brown, and she seemed to have grown taller. Before, her height only reached her waist, but now it seemed to reach her shoulders. Moreover, the little girl's tail had turned white-gold, and it was now happily sweeping behind her. However, Ayaka had no recollection of the silver-haired girl next to the little girl.

　Linghua temporarily suppressed her doubts and walked to the table where the little girl and Lanmei were sitting. Noticing that Linghua was sitting opposite her, the little girl looked up and smiled at her with an OVO expression before starting to eat her meat patty. Seeing the little girl's smile, Linghua couldn't help but smile back. The little girl quickly finished her hamburger patty and then raised her little hand to order more food. Linghua happily took out a handkerchief to wipe the little girl's mouth. The waiter then brought over the herb-baked fish. The little girl glanced at the menu, patted the braised meat and fried pork cutlet with her tender white paws, and the waiter understood and ran to the kitchen.

　Ayaka then turned her attention to the silver-haired girl in a light cherry blossom kimono beside her. After meeting the girl's emerald green eyes, Ayaka searched her memory for the knowledge she had gained in the New World, but unfortunately, no information matched the kimono-clad girl in front of her.

　"Hello, I'm Ayaka Kamisato, welcome to Inazuma."

　"Lan."

　Ayaka sized up the slightly aloof, icy beauty in the kimono before her. To be frank, Ayaka didn't think she was prettier than her. Arashi's delicate features were perfectly natural, without any trace of makeup. Her silver hair shimmered charmingly in the sunlight. Her pale pink kimono, embroidered with cherry blossoms, and pale green lining concealed her fair and smooth skin. The style of the clothes wasn't particularly extravagant, but in terms of materials and craftsmanship, Ayaka believed that even Chiori might not be able to make something like it.

　As the White Heron Princess of Inazuma, she was much more perceptive in dealing with people than the average person, not to mention that this person was most likely a dragon from that side, just like the young girl. Ayaka smiled slightly, not expressing any dissatisfaction with Arashi's coldness, "It's nice to meet you, Miss Arashi. Speaking of which, Hikari has grown up quite a bit. I remember when I first met Hikari, she was just a little kid this big, and now..."

　"We are just humans, don't look at us with your eyes."

　"Is Miss Lan jealous?"

　"What, what jealousy? I'm not jealous at all."

　"I think so too. Miss Lan probably wouldn't be jealous of me because I've known Xiao Guang for a long time. But it's precisely because of that that I was able to get to know Miss Lan."

　"You, hmph."

　As the noble goddess of Tianjin, Lanmei naturally wouldn't hold Linghua's offense against her. Afterwards, Linghua recommended the sashimi platter to Lanmei. This sashimi platter was very much to Lanmei's liking. The superb knife skills completely preserved the food's most exquisite taste. The sweet radish puree mixed with lemon juice brought out the most basic flavors of the ingredients, giving people an ultimate sweet and smooth taste.

　Back at the wooden tea room, the little girl was spooning ice cream into her mouth, while Ayaka made tea for Arashi. Just then, a series of footsteps sounded outside, and a spirited Yoomiya burst through the door, shouting, "Ayaka, I've come to see you! Shall we go this afternoon? Hey, Hikaru, and who's this?"

　"This must be Xiaoguang's older sister, Miss Lan."

　Yoomiya walked happily to Arashi, grabbed her hand and shook it joyfully, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Arashi. I'm Naganohara Yoomiya, just call me Yoomiya." Yoomiya's enthusiasm immediately brought a blush to Arashi's face. Ayaka smiled as she watched all this. Suddenly, Yoomiya clapped her hands and said, "I almost forgot, Ayaka, I'm here to discuss the Kanda Festival fireworks display. This time I want to make a super, super, super big firework. How about it, do you want to join me in making a giant firework?"

　After saying that, Xiaogong hugged the little girl, "Xiaoguang, hee hee, Xiaoguang." Xiaogong rubbed against the little girl vigorously, but the little girl hadn't finished her ice cream, so she could only push Xiaogong away with her tail. Fortunately, after being pushed away, Xiaogong...

　He stroked his tail and stopped rubbing against the young girl.

　Ayaka had also planned to do so, and said, "Great! With the experience of successfully holding the Haru-sai Festival, the company magistrate wants to make this Kanda Festival even better. Since you have this idea, Yoyomiya, I will definitely support you. But how should we do it?"

　P.S.: First update! Something came up yesterday, so I forgot to write a leave request. Please reply privately! My apologies to my dear readers!

　PS2: Maids Momo and Midori are so cute! Midori, who sneaked away, is even more adorable! () For Momo, the maid outfit is just a cleaner's uniform, but for Midori, it's truly a maid outfit~
