"Kanna! Hurry up and get rid of these black flames! It hurts so much!"
The red dragon tumbled and rolled in the distant sky, screaming. Stuck with the Amaterasu Flames, it had no way to remove the black flames from its body.
Kanna looked at the red dragon hopping around from the burns and asked, "Can you leave this place? If you promise, I'll ask Yusei to let you go."
After speaking, Kanna sought Yusei's opinion, "Is that okay?"
"Of course. No matter what, he is still Kanna's fellow clan member."
The red dragon, tormented by Amaterasu, was in great pain. It wailed and begged for mercy.
Kanna looked up at Yusei. The black flames on the red dragon's body instantly vanished.
When the black flames receded, the scales on the red dragon's body were already charred black, and in some places, the smell of cooked meat even wafted out.
The red dragon looked distressed at its wounds, then glared resentfully at Yusei on Kanna's head.
"Human brat! Next time it won't be me coming!"
"You'd better come to the Dragon Clan's territory early to apologize..."
Before the red dragon could finish its threat, it saw Kanna opposite, holding the giant sword, perform a horizontal slash, sending a sword aura towards it.
Its scales were now cooked and extremely fragile. This sword aura looked powerful, so it couldn't possibly block it in its current state.
Instantly, terrified, it tore open a spatial rift and fled back to its own world.
Yusei looked amusedly at the fleeing dragon, "He must be the one with the smallest courage in your Dragon Clan, right?"
"Mhm. He is much older than Kanna, so he was stronger than Kanna. When Kanna grows up a bit more, Kanna will definitely be stronger than him!"
"Kanna is still just a little child now."
Yusei directed Kanna to fly towards the distant horizon. He needed to first find a place with no people for Kanna to transform into her human form.
After the two dragons successively vanished and flew away, the players hiding in the forest finally came back to their senses.
They all felt that SAO had become unlike SAO, but rather another game of divine and demonic warfare.
Many usually calm players had grim expressions, thinking about the future of the game's progression.
They all wanted to clear the 100 floors and leave this damned game. But now a problem had appeared: unexpected combat power. How should they deal with it?
What if later bosses or dungeons suddenly spawned such dragons again? Even ten thousand players charging forward wouldn't be enough to withstand a single breath of dragon fire.
Among them, under a large tree, a girl with long black hair silently watched the beautiful white dragon flying away into the distance.
She slowly brushed aside her bangs, looking at the friend location displayed there, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, she sighed, her eyebrows tightly knit.
Then, she turned and left, walking back into the forest.
On a secluded hillside with no players, Yusei and Kanna slowly landed.
Following Yusei's instructions, Kanna transformed into her human form. Her giant body turned into white light, growing smaller and smaller, finally becoming a 120cm tall little lolita.
Yusei watched as Kanna's body gradually emerged from the white light... finally taking on the familiar form from his memories.
But as his gaze traveled downward...
"Pfft!"
Yusei instantly felt blood rushing to his head. He wanted to cover his eyes, but couldn't quite control his... curiosity.
"Ka... Kanna, put on some clothes!"
Yusei covered his eyes with his hand, but subconsciously left a gap between his fingers.
"Clothes? Are they the things on Yusei's body?" Kanna looked at Yusei curiously.
"Yes, yes, yes." Yusei nodded, not even considering letting Kanna dress herself. He quickly took out one of his own wide robes from his inventory and draped it over Kanna.
"Pii!" Kanna struggled to poke her little head out from the robe Yusei gave her, looking a bit clumsy and very cute.
But regardless, Yusei breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a lolicon, such a stimulating scene was still a bit sudden.
He bent down and seriously instructed Kanna, "Kanna-chan, you must be careful not to let males see your body."
Kanna raised her small hand, nodding her little head, "Kanna knows. Mother said so. But it's Kanna's first time transforming into human form, didn't think of it."
"Alright, just remember next time. Of course... I actually don't necessarily count among those 'males'..."
At the edge of the Dragon's Lake, Shiro sat bored on a large rock... watching the players in the distance beginning to retreat. She also opened her SAO quest page.
Just now, her game quest had suddenly prompted: [Quest Failed!]
Shiro knew this meant her brother had completed his quest.
So, all that was left was to wait for him to return. But... Shiro suddenly felt uneasy, as if something unpleasant was about to happen.
She looked at the friend location on the system display, getting closer and closer... She looked ahead, and her originally happy, cute little face instantly stiffened.
"Nii?"
She saw Kanna, carrying Yusei, quickly fly to a spot in front of Shiro.
Kanna let out a breath, looking dumbfoundedly cute at Shiro, who was about the same height as her. Shiro also stared back at this little girl who had appeared together with her Onii-chan.
The two were about the same height. Both had rather expressionless faces... appearing somewhat dumbfoundedly cute. They even both had light-colored hair.
The two lolis staring at each other made Yusei feel the atmosphere around him was a bit strange.
Yusei frowned, 'Is this... the smell of jealousy?'
Shiro looked at this very cute girl and couldn't help but puff out her cheeks. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked pitifully at Yusei.
"Nii... are you abandoning Shiro? Do you want to find a new Imouto?"
Seeing Shiro like this, Yusei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He patted Shiro's head.
"No. Shiro is my most adorable little sister."
"Then who is she?" Shiro wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and looked at Kanna. Towards her, Shiro felt a serious sense of crisis.
Yusei looked at Kanna, about to introduce her properly, but before he could speak...
"Yusei is Kanna's husband! Yusei said so!"
