The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

the other side

Leona, as the elder sister, also kept shaking her shoulders, and it was obvious that it was very difficult to hold back her smile.

"You guys eat first, I'll go up to see her."

Eventually, Leona left the table and went to look for her unusually shy sister.

As the sound of going upstairs faded away
Only Vivian, Setsuna, Hermione, Gaia and Iris were left in the restaurant.

Vivian looked at the direction where Carol left, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she felt mixed emotions.

She had a deep affection for her teacher, but she never expected that he was the same as her.
Ron's attitude just now also gave Vivian a novel but somewhat complicated feeling.

Perhaps, I might need some courage and openness in my emotions, just as Ron did.

the other side

Hermione swallowed a coin-sized wind magic core, her eyes flickering.

Eating crystal core energy bodies can replenish the energy in Hermione's body.

In fact, she can also eat ordinary people's food, but she cannot convert it into the energy needed for her own fighting. Whatever she eats, she will excrete it.

So if it wasn't necessary, Hermione wouldn't eat anything other than magic cores.

Although she didn't seem to be showing any emotion, Hermione was actually full of thoughts.

Just now, she keenly captured the complexity of her father's conversation with others.

Hermione silently reflected in her heart, if it were her, would she be able to face her emotions so calmly?
What she didn't notice was
Unconsciously, I have begun to habitually use human thinking to think, rather than mechanically analyzing the pros and cons.

For a constructed creature, this is undoubtedly a violation of an absolute taboo.

Because the emergence of [emotions] represents the [uncontrollable factors] in the [constructed] magic element.

It will cause the construct to gradually deviate from its creation mission, and may even evolve to the point where its behavior contradicts the will of its creator. This is undoubtedly a standard feature of a [failed product].

But if you change your perspective.

From the perspective of father and daughter, Hermione is undoubtedly engaged in a nearly transformational reflection on growth.

She began to be curious about the outside world and began to think about her mission as a person rather than the Creator.

This is the beginning of the birth of personality.

If it were in the hands of other construct makers, they might directly format the construct's memory during this period, so that they could once again obtain a new, perfect, and absolutely loyal construct life.

Ron, on the other hand, was not prepared to interfere with what was happening.

He could clearly see all these changes in Hermione, but he didn't feel any "betrayal".

Because to him, Hermione is no longer Dragonscale Soldier No. 1, but has truly become a family member.

"Swish"

Gaia, who was sitting next to Hermione, opened the thick encyclopedia again with an expressionless face.

She reached out and licked her index finger, then turned to a new page and continued her reading.

For Gaia, these emotional disputes such as love, loyalty, and competition are not important at all.

Because Ron's long life was destined, after billions of years, there must be someone who would stay by his side.

As one amusing human in the encyclopedia puts it:

[No matter how unforgettable the love was at the beginning, no matter how unswerving it was, in the end, this love will eventually turn into family affection to protect you. ]

Time will tell.

So Gaia didn't worry at all that her brother would be kidnapped by someone else.

It’s like the Time Dragon never worries that the treasures he lost in the long river of history will be taken away by others.

Because after going around in circles, eventually, those things will return to your hands as time goes by.

the other side

Setsuna silently set the tableware and scarf for Ron, and served him his favorite beef brisket and pumpkin soup.

This bowl of soup used to be the responsibility of Setsuna, but today it finally found its real owner.

Setsuna didn't want to comment on the relationship between Ron and the girls, because as long as she was with Ron, her little heart was satisfied.

Finally, Iris's laughter broke the silence. She turned to look at Ron and said teasingly:
"I have to say, you are truly an 'excellent' romantic playboy."

"I accept your compliment."

Ron disagreed.

"but."

As she spoke, Iris suddenly straightened her body and looked serious: "Is what you just said true?"

She pointed at Vivian and the others and said seriously:
"Do you know that every girl in this castle has a suitor outside who can circle the capital twice, but now they are all circling around you."

"Your words can change their future destiny. If what you said just now was just a joke, it's not funny."

Ron shrugged and said indifferently:

"Sometimes speaking directly can make people understand your true feelings better. Why beat around the bush and cause more misunderstandings?"

Iris raised her eyebrows slightly:
"So, you really plan to take them all into your 'Crystal Palace'?"

"Why not?"

Ron wiped the corners of his mouth, smiled and said, "I love each of them, just as they love me."

Iris stared closely at the rainbow dragon, which was sitting in the main seat, enjoying Setsuna's service and drinking soup slowly with a spoon.

"you've changed."

Iris suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Has it gotten better? Or has it gotten worse?"

Ron put down the silver spoon and looked at her with interest.

“It’s not about good or bad, it’s just”

Iris frowned slightly:
"Your attitude seems to have changed."

She pointed to the spoon Ron had put down:
“In the past, even if you knew how to enjoy food, you would never eat it so leisurely.”

"you"

Iris hesitated and tried:
"Has he already broken through the boundary of demigod?"

Her voice was as soft as a whisper in the wind, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people all raised their heads, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

They knew very well what it meant to break through to become a demigod.

This time, Ron didn't answer directly.

He just turned around and looked at Hermione beside him, with a gentle and meaningful smile on his lips.

"Are you ready to embrace a new life?"

He said so.

Hermione took a deep breath, nodded steadily, looked at Ron firmly, and said with a hint of determination:
"I will study hard."

Knowing that she had made her decision, Ron no longer hesitated.

He raised a dragon claw and pointed it gently at Hermione.

In an instant, a touch of emerald green sacred light flickered at his fingertips, like the dawn, bringing people an incredible vitality.

However, just as the light was about to fall, an unexpected figure suddenly stood in front of Hermione.

"Gaia?"

Hermione looked at the small figure blocking her way in astonishment and blurted out her name.

She was a little girl with short green hair. Her eyes were stubborn and determined, and she clearly had no intention of giving in.

Ron tilted his head slightly, and the endless vitality that had gathered in his hands gradually dissipated, but his movements did not change, and he was obviously waiting for the other party's explanation.

the other side

Gaia's face was tense, and for the first time she used a tone other than calm, and asked:
"Were you about to cast [Life and Death] on Hermione just now?"

"Brother" (End of this chapter)
