Because of Kamiigusa Misaki, by the time Sorata brought the tidied-up Shiina Mashiro downstairs for breakfast, Sengoku Chihiro and Mitaka Jin already knew that he had slept in Mashiro's room the previous night.
"Although I am very open-minded, I still have to remind you that you are still high school students. Be moderate and don't cause any trouble," Sengoku Chihiro, who was already drinking beer early in the morning, said casually, with several empty bottles already placed in front of her.
Mitaka Jin, who was about to go out, patted Sorata on the shoulder as he passed by. "Kanda, not bad. You took down Shiina without a word. I used to think you weren't interested in women."
"Hey, hey... I just discussed manga issues with Mashiro too late last night and fell asleep. What's with all these expressions?" Sorata said, feeling speechless. "And Senpai Jin, I never said I wasn't interested in women, did I?"
The daily noisy morning at the Sakura Dormitory. Today was Sunday, so there was no school. Mitaka Jin had a date with his nurse sister Noriko, and Sengoku Chihiro even went to matchmaking parties on Sundays. However, it was unclear whether she was genuinely attending matchmaking parties or just freeloading.
Kamiigusa Misaki seemed stimulated by Sorata, her fighting spirit high. After breakfast, she ran back to her room to continue working on her new project. Akasaka Ryuunosuke, as always, squatted indoors and didn't go out. Similarly, after confirming the character images with Sorata the previous night, Shiina Mashiro needed to officially draw the cover for Toradora! She went upstairs after breakfast as well.
Unlike the manga manuscript, this kind of illustration was the kind of clear-colored illustration seen in anime. According to their discussion, the cover would feature the male and female leads standing side by side with their backs to each other as the scene.
So, the Sakura Dormitory suddenly became quiet. Having successfully transformed his bloodline and no longer needing to cultivate, Sorata fed the cats and then changed into a set of casual clothes, preparing to go out for a stroll.
As for writing the novel? Not in a hurry, he'd do it when he remembered.
Speaking of which, it's been so long since I woke up, and I haven't had a good look around yet. With his hands behind his head, Sorata walked lazily down the street, aimlessly following the road.
Various people came and went around him, cars passed back and forth, the sound of car horns, people talking, countless pieces of information gathered together to form this vivid and colorful world. The sun in the sky unscrupulously radiated its light, endless matter and energy spewing out and scattering towards the dark void of the universe, bringing light to the dark world.
The warm sunlight, carrying vast energy, poured down from the sky, endlessly swallowed by Sorata's body. The feeling of Kryptonian cells rapidly evolving and his physique constantly strengthening made Sorata feel very happy.
When it was almost noon, Sorata, who hadn't been paying attention to the way, didn't know where he had walked. However, judging from the surrounding buildings, he should be in an area on the edge of a commercial street.
Finding a bakery by the river, Sorata bought a pineapple bun that looked good and seemed delicious, and sat down on a roadside chair to eat it for lunch.
Just then, Sorata sensed a gaze fixed on him... and the bread in his hand. He immediately turned his head to look.
The source of the gaze was an alley between two low-rise buildings. However, the other party was very vigilant. Just as Sorata reacted, a figure flashed and disappeared.
However, Sorata, with his incredible eyesight, still saw the other party's appearance. It was a cute little girl who looked only six or seven years old, wearing a pink and white pleated short skirt, with a slightly round face and long silver-pink hair.
And what caught Sorata's attention were the pair of small white horns on the little girl's head, one pair curving upwards near her ears, and the other curving downwards.
Ordinary people might think they were decorations, but Sorata saw that they were indeed horns.
"Dragon," in the dark and empty alley, Sorata looked at the little girl in front of him, feeling amused.
"Evil and cunning human, how did you recognize me?" The little girl looked at the human who had suddenly appeared in front of her warily, a fierce look on her face, as if saying, "I'm fierce, don't mess with me."
The little tassel-like tail behind her flicked restlessly. The little girl smelled a very dangerous aura from the human who had suddenly appeared before her, and the little bit of magic power remaining in her body began to gather.
"You have dragon horns on your head and a tail, and you're carrying a strong dragon aura. Isn't that clearly telling people you're a dragon?" This question, which sounded like something a villain would say, amused Sorata.
Originally, he wasn't very interested in the extraordinary creatures of this world, but since one had appeared before him, he didn't mind taking a look.
At this time, he had already guessed who the little loli in front of him was: Kanna Kamui, also known as Kanna, a character from an anime he had watched before called Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.
What a mixed-up world.
The little girl Kanna's face was serious, and she showed a tough aura. "You're not human. Say, what are you? How could a human smell the dragon aura on my body?"
Hearing this, Sorata's lips curled into a slight sneer. Instantly, his temperament changed, and a faint, terrifying, and evil aura began to spread. "Alright, I will tell you. I am the supreme Lord of Chaos and Nothingness."
At this moment, Sorata's eyes were incomparably cold, and a faint golden light flickered deep within them, seeming capable of freezing souls. "This is but a wisp of my descended form. Since you have seen through me today, I have no choice but to send you to the deepest, darkest hell."
As soon as that evil aura appeared, Kanna's hair stood on end, and she felt enveloped by a great evil and great terror, an aura even more terrifying than that of a deep abyss demon lord she had once seen with her parents.
Crackling!
Stimulated, the little bit of magic power remaining in Kanna's body instantly went berserk, and her whole body was enveloped in blue lightning. Following her instinct, she suddenly rushed towards Sorata, a surprising momentum on her small fist.
Smack!
"Ah... such an evil aura!"
"Tohru-sama, please come save me!"
"You evil creature, I will not yield to you..."
Kanna, whose head was held down by Sorata's hand, glared and screamed, fiercely waving her fists, but because her arms were too short, she couldn't reach him...
"So weak, are you really a dragon?"
Feeling the impact of several tons of force coming from the front in his hand, Kanna, who was now no different from an ordinary little girl except for releasing faint lightning, made Sorata wonder if the little girl in front of him wasn't a fake dragon.
At this moment, Sorata, having finished scaring the little girl, had retracted his aura and looked at her suspiciously.
Kanna abruptly took two steps back, pretending to be fierce. "Hmph, don't you look down on dragons! If I wasn't hungry and the mana purity here wasn't too low to recover my magic power, I could definitely defeat you!"
"Is that so?" Sorata nodded, then turned and walked out of the alley.
"You're not going to kill me?" Kanna was taken aback.
"Why would I kill you?" Sorata turned back and smiled.
This little white dragon posed no threat to him, wasn't fierce or tyrannical, and most importantly, he was no longer in the Nightmare Space. He didn't want the darkness in his heart to surface unnecessarily.
"What are you doing following me?" Sitting on a roadside chair, Sorata looked strangely at Kanna, who had followed him out.
"Who... who's following you? I'm just going the same way," the little girl stubbornly denied, but her big eyes uncontrollably glanced at the pineapple bun in Sorata's hand.
"Want to eat?" Sorata held up the bun in his hand.
The little girl was very proud, snorted lightly, and turned her head away without answering, but her eyes followed Sorata's hand as he shook the bread bag.
"You don't want to eat? Then never mind," Sorata said regretfully.
Then he didn't ask again, directly tore open the packaging, and slowly began to enjoy his food, which stunned Kanna on the side.
Ask me again! Why don't you ask me again? If you ask me again, I'll reluctantly agree! Hey, you jerk... I'm so cute, why don't you ask me again...?
At this moment, Kanna began to doubt herself. Could it be that her previous way of observing and understanding humans was wrong? Wouldn't cunning humans try to entice little girls by pretending to be indifferent?
Just as the little girl was doubting her dragon life, Sorata had finished his bread, stood up, walked a few steps to a green tree, threw the wrapper into the trash can, and then left...
