Chapter 102: Jeanne's Growth and the System

Once Cardina was in a calm state, they worked on rebuilding Jeanne's new body with her nearby. Activating the skill of "Yin-Yang Orb" with dragon magic, they quickly completed it's generation and prompted Jeanne to change her appearance.

Without hesitation, Jeanne entered the massive sphere, acquiring a new body and the power of [Wind Magic Lv.9].

"Jeanne, if possible, come out in a smaller form, not an evolved one." (Tatsuro)

"Jeanne-chan must be way bigger than Cardina-chan. It wouldn't be good to showcase her indoors" (Ai)

"The ceiling here was barely high enough for Cardina's dragon form. We could accidentally wreck someone else's house" (Tatsuro)

Having no need to use Transmission' anymore, Jeanne, who understood their request well, transformed into the assumed form based on the expectation of a magic level 1 body.

"Cute!" (Ai)

"Indeed!" (Tatsuro)

"Neigh." (Jeanne)

What appeared was a black rhino child measuring about sixty centimeters in length. Despite this, it already possessed a certain level of intelligence, understanding the praise with narrowed eyes in joy.

Although curious about its original form, the two were captivated by the gap between its usual majestic demeanor and the adorable sitting figure.

However, Cardina, the older sister who witnessed this scene, grabbed Tatsuro and Ai's collars with her beak, passionately appealing.

"Cardina-chan is beautiful!" (Ai)

"Yeah, you do give off a proper big sister vibe." (Tatsuro)

"Pewee!" (Cardina)

While properly attending to them and indulging the still-dependent duo, the two finally delved into the main topicthe system of the two entities.

"Cardina, Jeanne, would you like to send us a party request? The procedure is in the system's" (Tatsuro)

Recalling memories of forming a party with Ai, Tatsuro gave detailed instructions. As they did, party requests to Tatsuro and Ai's system arrived.

"Oh, here it is."

"Oh, It's here" (Tatsuro)

"it's here!" (Ai)

"Pewee!" (Cardina)

"Neigh." (Jeanne)

Responding with a decisive "yes" to the long-awaited request, Tatsuro, Ai, Cardina, and Jeanne's names were now firmly listed in the party section.

"With the four of us lined up, it truly feels like a party!" (Ai)

"It's nice to see our names side by side, but this is good too." (Tatsuro)

With a fresh feeling, they began by checking Cardina's status.

"Huh? It's fine being level 1, but for such a strong-looking appearance, the stats seem low. According to this, I should have stronger strength than her" (Tatsuro)

"Stats seem to be plus values for basic abilities, right?" (Ai)

"Oh how does Ai know that?" (Tatsuro)

"When I was reading martial arts books, it was mentioned. It said that strengthening your body is not a waste." (Ai)

"I see." (Tatsuro)

By the way, Ai, with no inherent abilities, adheres to the principle of not making unnecessary efforts. It's not that she finds it troublesome.

"The thing that bothers me is having only dragon power without vitality or magic power." (Ai)

"In terms of the system, it seems to be identified as a dragon species. Maybe the system misrecognized it because dragon power is included in the base material of the body?" (Tatsuro)

"Isn't it a dragon species in this world? Despite being so high-performance, it wouldn't make such a cheap mistake, right?" (Ai)

Recalling the numerous instances of reproducing advanced technology in this system, Tatsuro, like Ai, concluded that such a sloppy mistake wouldn't happen now.

"That makes sense. And about these listed skills[True Form], [Adult Form], [Child Form] did the body's transformation directly turn into skills?" (Tatsuro)

"Three-stage transformation is unfair! Tatsuro-kuuun, I want one too!" (Ai)

"Whether you want it or not, it's not something you can obtain. I might even want to try it a bit. If at least half of our blood wasn't from Earth, we might have had a chance, but with our pure Earthly origin, it's impossible." (Tatsuro)

"Oh, my mom occasionally turns into an ogre." (Ai)

"Quick wit, huh?" (Tatsuro)

Expressing unattainable desires and silly remarks, their attention turned to the next item of interest.

"[Dragon Flight Lv.5], huh? What's the difference between [Dragon Flight] and just [Flight]?" (Tatsuro)

"Maybe you'll understand if you read the description?" (Ai)

"That's true. Um, yeah. [Dragon Flight] grants the ability to float to the wings themselves. So, unlike regular flight, there's no need to flap the wings casually." (Tatsuro)

"But the magic dragon we fought earlier did flap its wings, right?" (Ai)

"Maybe it created buoyancy by moving them, reducing the consumption of dragon power?" (Tatsuro)

"I see. Flight consumes stamina, but Dragon Flight consumes dragon power." (Ai)

Having learned something new about dragons, they decided to investigate another unfamiliar skill.

It turned out to be a skill where literally, the wings transformed into blades through the flow of dragon power. By the way, with higher levels, it became possible to shoot slashing dragon power.

"Hmm. Lately, opponents who can shoot Ki or something similar have been popping up, so I might have to get serious soon, or Cardina-chan might surpass me." (Ai)

"Pewee!" (Cardina)

"Oh, Cardina seems quite determined to surpass you, huh?" (Tatsuro)

"No way. I'm going first." (Ai)

"Pewee, pewee." (Cardina)

"I'm the one going first." (Ai)

"Muuh, getting all cheeky." (Tatsuro)

Ai pouted childishly, but seeing Cardina trying hard to stand tall was so cute that, in the end, Ai forgave her antics.

And now, of course, it's time to check Jeanne's stats.

"" [Dragon Flight'!?]"" They chorused

"Neigh!" (Jeanne)

Surprised by this unexpected skill, the two widened their eyes. As if saying, "I'm amazing too!" Jeanne, who had been sitting with her buttocks flat on the ground, stood up sharply.

"No, no, not Neigh! Flying without wings" (Tatsuro)

"Hey, Tatsuro. Doesn't Jeanne's [Dragon Flight] display seem thicker compared to the others?" (Ai)

"Hmm? Oh, right. Maybe she can't do it with [Child Form] can't do it, but with [True Form] wings will sprout, and she can fly?" (Tatsuro)

"Neigh!" (Jeanne)

"Looks like a hit." (Ai)

"Yeah. Now I really want to see her true form." (Tatsuro)

"But, well, it's impossible here Jeanne-chan, please show us when we find a spacious place, okay?" (Ai)

Upon Ai's request, Jeanne nodded enthusiastically.

With Jeanne currently in the form of a child-sized rhino, her appearance was incredibly cute, and Ai hugged her tightly as if cherishing a doll.

Observing this, Cardina, who had been staring at Tatsuro, took the clue and affectionately patted his head.

After wrapping up the bonding time with the animals, they decided to investigate another intriguing skill.

"[Dragon Horn Spear Blade Lv.6] involves doing something with that horn on her nose, right?" (Tatsuro)

"Probably. Oh, definitely. Gathering Ki at the tip of that horn, releasing it creates a slash-attribute Ki, and if you hit something directly, it becomes a thrust-attribute attack." (Ai)

"Sounds quite powerful. Hmm? In that case, isn't Jeanne the first to have a proper Ki release?" (Tatsuro)

"Huh!?" (Ai)

"Pewee!?" (Cardina)

Shocked by what they had been arguing about earlier, Ai and Cardina bowed before Jeanne, who raised a triumphant shout.

While Ai and Cardina tasted the bitterness of mysterious defeat, Tatsuro, considering that if the system was installed, Jeanne might be able to acquire skills, suggested that she check for it.

"Alright. Everyone, attention." (Tatsuro)

"What?" (Ai)

"Pewee?" (Cardina)

"?" (Jeanne)

After confirming that Ai, Cardina, and Jeanne were all focused on him, Tatsuro revealed something he had wanted to try since the system was installed.

"From now on, Cardina and Jeanne will meditate." (Tatsuro)

"Meditate if I recall correctly Oh, it's the one that increases Ki recovery speed!" (Ai)

"Exactly. Probably, with their current state, Cardina and Jeanne should be able to acquire [Dragon Power Recovery Speed Increase]. If that happens, they can recover on their own, significantly extending their active time." (Tatsuro)

"I see." (Ai)

And so, under Tatsuro's guidance, Cardina and Jeanne began their meditation.
