Before Kanna-chan could speak, Kal'tsit aimed the ball at herself, then pressed the button in the middle. The next second, Kal'tsit vanished from her spot, and a second later, she abruptly reappeared.
This situation startled everyone around, especially Silence and the others.
Fortunately, Kal'tsit's reappearance stabilized everyone's nerves.
Kal'tsit held the ball and turned to look at Kanna-chan. Although she felt a bit flustered inside, years of practice had given her a poker face that she didn't show to everyone.
Just now, after pressing the button, she felt as if she had entered a place where she couldn't see her hand in front of her face. As a result, she instinctively struggled a bit and returned to her original spot.
"Hmph! I hadn't even told you what this thing does, and you already pressed it. Don't you know curiosity killed the cat... Oh, right, lynxes are also felines, so never mind what I said..."
Noticing that Kal'tsit was inexplicably stumped again, Kanna-chan couldn't help but retort.
"This thing is called a Pokeball. First, you've already experienced how to use it: point the side with the button at the target, then press the button to capture the other party. However, if the target captured into the Pokeball has a will to resist, it can come out again. So, either the one going in doesn't resist, or they go in unconsciously."
Kanna-chan first explained how to enter the Pokeball and its usage conditions, then continued,
"Of course, this thing isn't meant to be a hiding tool. Its function lies with the creatures that go inside. If they don't resist, the magic within the Pokeball will transform the creature inside..."
"Transformation..." Hearing Kanna-chan's words, everyone stopped what they were doing. After all, the word "transformation" sounded suspiciously like "human experimentation."
"It's like Dahlia, but more common and convenient. Dahlia's transformation into a Purewater Spirit wasn't just due to the Heart of Pure Water; it also had to do with her being inherently very suitable for it. All sorts of luck combined to create her current form."
Dahlia, mentioned by Kanna-chan, jumped onto Kanna-chan's hand and transformed into a head, making faces at her surroundings.
"This thing is different, but similar. It will transform the creature inside into a different form, but in return, the other party's oripathy will be removed during the transformation process. However, after the transformation, although consciousness and combat power will be retained, they probably won't be human anymore..."
"Where did you get this thing?" After hearing Kanna-chan's words, Kal'tsit weighed the Pokeball in her hand and asked.
"Don't ask. If you ask, I don't know either. Anyway, give me one pure originium, and I can craft one for you on the spot." Kanna-chan put her hands on her hips, looking as if this thing was too mystical, and she didn't understand its mechanism either.
"I heard that when you saved Dahlia, you transformed a pure originium in front of everyone, and after Dahlia used it, she became what she is now. So, this thing, one pure originium for one? And it turns them into something like Dahlia?" Kal'tsit seemed to have understood something from Kanna-chan's words, so she continued to press her.
Kanna-chan opened the system store, found that nothing had changed, then nodded, "No problem. But besides this, I can also turn them into two other things. Do you want them?"
Kanna-chan thought about it. There was no need to bring out those three creatures. After all, crafting a pure originium into a living being was terrifying no matter how you thought about it.
However, Kirin's Pale Horn and a weakened version of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could be created. The former would be excellent weapon material, and even if Kal'tsit didn't need the latter, couldn't she just take it back and eat it? Wouldn't freeloading a fruit from Kal'tsit be wonderful then?
Hearing Kanna's words, Kal'tsit immediately had three pure originium delivered. In front of everyone, Kanna transformed the three pure originium into Kirin's Pale Horn, a Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and a Heart of Pure Water, respectively.
Kal'tsit and the others witnessed firsthand what it meant to "transform originium." After Kanna arranged the items, a vein throbbed slightly on Kal'tsit's forehead. She felt she might have been scammed by Kanna again.
Aside from the Heart of Pure Water, the other two items—the crackling, electrified one—clearly had nothing to do with medicine. The other purple fruit, however, had a tiny, tiny possibility.
"Tell me, what are these for!" Kal'tsit walked up to Kanna with her arms crossed, vowing in her heart that if the answer wasn't satisfactory, Kanna's face would have to suffer for her agitated inner self.
Looking at Kal'tsit, who had walked not far away, Kanna also felt a hint of killing intent.
"First, this teething toy—no, this thing is a horn. I don't know what kind of horn it is, but it's rich in lightning power. Whether for grinding... making equipment or weapons, it's an excellent material."
"The second is called the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It can enhance the consumer's control over lightning and the intensity of lightning spells."
After explaining the effects of these two items, Kanna felt Kal'tsit's breathing become heavy, and the gaze from behind her was like a bone-scraping steel knife.
"Ta-da! The third is the Heart of Pure Water, which saved our lovely Dahlia. Its original purpose is to enhance the consumer's control over water-based spells, but because its effect is too powerful, ordinary people who eat it will be transformed into Purewater Spirits by this Heart of Pure Water."
"...You mean Dahlia survived entirely because of this thing's side effect?" Silence asked in shock from the side. She had always thought that the item Kanna called the "Heart of Pure Water" forcibly transformed a creature into a "Purewater Spirit." Now she realized that this transformation was merely a side effect of the item.
"Hehe! To be honest, I was a bit worried at the time. If it hadn't worked, Dahlia would have been beyond saving. But it seems the heavens still had a tiny bit of pity for Dahlia..."
"So, I spent three pure originium and ended up with a bunch of useless stuff?" Kal'tsit had, at some point, walked behind Kanna, and her sinful hand grabbed Kanna's cheek.
"I wath jutht an idea, you thould've decided for yourthelf..." Kanna protested, her cheek stretched.
Just then, Amiya walked in with Doctor.
Seeing so many people gathered here, the two curiously poked their heads in.
Seeing Amiya and Doctor, the others voluntarily made way, and the two walked inside, only to see Kal'tsit fuming at Kanna.
"Didn't you say Kal'tsit was a very composed person?" The amnesiac Doctor nudged Amiya's shoulder and whispered.
"Uh! This is an accident. Kanna-chan must have angered Doctor Kal'tsit again..." Amiya didn't know how to explain at this moment.
