We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

Her skin was already among the best of her peers, delicate, soft, and flawless, but now, for some reason, it's even better than before.

Although girls are always very attentive to the changes they experience during puberty, Toyokawa Shoko was still somewhat surprised.

She had already let her two spiraled sideburns fall loose, and her smooth, long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

But Toyokawa Shoko's main focus was on her own eyes.

That is, those golden eyes.

"Why does it feel...brighter than before?"

Toyokawa Shoko thought to herself.

In the past, although her pupils were golden, it seemed more like a natural color and did not have that captivating aura.

But now, after experiencing that rainy night, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized that the mirror could now reflect the brightness of her eyes.

That brightness is so striking that you can immediately tell it's different from the pupils of ordinary people.

Toyokawa Shoko carefully examined his eyes.

Her eyelashes were long and thick, still damp with tiny water droplets from her bath. Her golden pupils, like molten gold leaf, were spread across her eyes, rich and pure in color, without the slightest impurity.

At first glance, these eyes seem to contain both the innocence of a young girl and the allure inherent in gold.

"Is it because of what happened tonight...?"

Toyokawa Shoko murmured.

She recalled everything that happened on that rainy night.

He had a strange dream before his father woke him up tonight.

In that dream, she entered the scene of the painting she had created while composing music for Spring Shadow.

The ancient World Tree, the long staircase reaching to the sky, and the World Tree leaf that finally dissolved in her palm...

Then, on the Nibelungen viaduct, when she first faced the eerie creature known as 'Deadpool,' a similar scene flashed before her eyes once again.

At that time, she witnessed the withering of the World Tree and the desolation of the entire world.

This was a scene she had never seen before; the overwhelming sense of desolation and ruin almost suffocated her.

It seems that it was from that time that the color of her pupils became so unique.

And... it seems it's not just the pupils.

Toyokawa Shoko pinched the skin on her arm, feeling that it was softer than before, yet also more resilient.

Her gaze swept downwards.

The already radiant fruit seems to have grown even more than before, but compared to the overall curve, it doesn't appear abrupt; instead, it adds immeasurable charm.

Her legs had skin as smooth as jade, with a soft sheen. Water droplets slid down her rounded knees, just like the morning dew on willow branches in early spring.

Her entire body had changed; it seemed as if something within her bloodline had been activated, and her entire demeanor was completely different from before.

"Secondary development?"

For some reason, Toyokawa Shoko thought of this word.

She then shook her head and didn't think about it anymore.

Looking back now, these physical changes seem to be all good things. In addition to these aspects, she feels that her physical fitness has also improved significantly compared to before.

Is this the effect of bloodline?

Toyokawa Shoko recalled the words her father had told her.

He and his mother were both A-grade hybrids, so their child would definitely have dragon blood flowing through their veins.

The amount of dragon blood in a person's body determines whether a hybrid can have abilities beyond those of an ordinary person.

Aside from appearance, physique, and physical fitness, the most important thing, of course, is the power to change the world.

—Words of Power.

Legend has it that humans originally had no right to set foot in this realm, but later, due to the birth of hybrids, relying on these special groups with dragon blood flowing in their veins, humans finally gained the power that only dragons were entitled to in the past.

Although Toyokawa Shoko still doesn't know what her Word of Power is, she has already enjoyed the enormous changes that her bloodline has brought her.

Judging solely from her physical abilities, she had a feeling that she was already far superior to the average adult.

If it were those street thugs who cause headaches for all sectors of society, Toyokawa Shoko even felt that such people would not be a match for her.

"and many more……"

Toyokawa Shoko was startled.

She became aware of some change within herself.

Besides one's own body, the one most likely affected is actually one's own mind.

After all, everything that happened tonight had such a profound impact on her that it was as if her worldview had been completely reshaped.

Furthermore, given that her father may have died in Neberongen, the entity known as 'Odin,' while covering her escape, her mindset has changed significantly.

It seems... there's a hint of ferocity and tyranny in them.

In the past, Toyokawa Shoko lived under the protection of the Toyokawa family.

She didn't have much contact with people during her teenage years. After all, she went to school in the Moon Forest from a young age, and her classmates were all rich and noble. She didn't really know much about the hardships of the outside world.

In addition, Mizuho Toyokawa is a very gentle mother, and Kiyokazu Toyokawa can be considered a competent father.

There were never any arguments at home over trivial matters, which fostered Toyokawa Shoko's initial personality—gentle and innocent.

But now, as she becomes aware of the changes in her body, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realizes that her personality has also changed at the same time.

—He had gained a sharpness he had never shown before, and there was also a barely suppressed ferocity in his emotions.

It's as if Toyokawa Shoko, in her Bai Xiang state, had died on this rainy night, and now she has been reborn from the ashes.

However... anyone subjected to such a stimulus would have their personality altered. Toyokawa Shoko's changes are among the least affected.

"It's a bit cold."

Shoko Toyokawa then realized that she had been standing in front of the mirror for quite some time.

The steam in the bathroom once again filled the surface of the mirror, and even the water droplets that had flowed onto the floor when I washed myself had all dried up.

Toyokawa Shoko found the towel that Nagumo Ugetsu had used before, wrapped it around her wet long hair, and then twisted it on top of her head with both hands.

Water droplets rolled down her hair and landed on her collarbone, where they were quickly absorbed by a towel drawn from above.

rustle--

Toyokawa Shoko wiped herself down from her shoulder.

Arms, lower abdomen, back, legs...

Just as Nanon Ugetsu's towel was already soaking wet, Toyokawa Shoko had just finished wiping herself clean.

"It's time to go out."

Toyokawa Shoko's heart skipped a beat.

She was about to look for the clothes she had hung on the rack when she suddenly remembered that they had been soaked in the downpour and were no longer wearable.

"Then how do I get out?"

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt a pang of panic.

bath towel……

Definitely not. Judging from the length of this bath towel, it can only cover half of the body at most, and a large part of it will definitely be exposed.

Did you sneak out and go to bed, then wrap yourself in the blankets?

Even worse.

In that case, I can only put on my old clothes for now and make other plans after I get out of the bathroom.

Toyokawa Shoko was indeed a little embarrassed to take the initiative to ask Nagumo Ugetsu for help.

What could she say? She couldn't very well quietly push open the bathroom door, leave it ajar, and whisper, "Could you please get me some clothes?"

Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth, preparing to put on her clothes first, but just then, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong——

The voice was very soft, but it still startled Toyokawa Shoko.

She almost thought Nan Yunyu was about to come in. A feeling that she didn't know whether to be shy or excited filled her mind, making her face flush red.

But what she expected didn't happen. Nan Yun Yuyue simply knocked on the door and then asked through it:

"Xiao Xiang, do you need me to get you a few clothes?"

"No...need, it is necessary."

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then quickly said.

Her heart was pounding, and then she heard Nan Yun Yuyue's voice:

"it is good."

Toyokawa Shoko breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Wearing dry clothes is definitely much more comfortable than being soaked in sweat.

That's what she was thinking.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened.

Toyokawa Shoko was startled again.

However, the door was only slightly ajar, and then Nan Yun Yuyue reached in with her hands holding clothes.

"Give."

"Thank you...thank you."

Toyokawa Shoko was momentarily incoherent.

She reached out and took the clothes Nan Yunyuyue handed her. In her haste, her skin accidentally brushed against his arm.

thump—

The bathroom door closed again.

Toyokawa Shoko looked in the mirror and quickly put on Nagumo Ugetsu's clothes.

Of course, these clothes were all men's clothing. Nan Yun Yuyue had always lived alone, so his family certainly didn't have any clothes specifically for a teenage girl like Toyokawa Shoko.

But now that the rainstorm has passed, Toyokawa Shoko is soaked to the bone, so he naturally can't let Shoko rest in the same wet clothes he used to wear.

Nan Yun Yuyue searched through her wardrobe and actually found several clothes that had been washed and fit well.

As expected, Toyokawa Shoko needed to change into clean clothes after taking a bath, so I handed them to her.

"It feels... a little tight."

Toyokawa Shoko first put on her trousers, and then changed her clothes.

This is a top that resembles casual wear, but it has a few buttons at the top that need to be fastened.

She tried it on and found that the clothes were indeed a little tight due to her body shape, but fortunately it didn't affect normal wear.

After changing her clothes, Toyokawa Shoko looked in the mirror again to check her appearance before pushing open the bathroom door and walking out.

Then, she stopped in her tracks, her face flushed with embarrassment.

now,

Nan Yun Yuyue was standing at the door, holding a piece of clothing that was somewhat similar to the top she was wearing, but a size larger.

Nanon Ugetsu looked at Toyokawa Shoko in front of her.

Her long blue hair was still damp, cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, with a few strands clinging to her flushed cheeks and neck, revealing her girlish cuteness.

Nan Yun Yuyue's estimation was correct; the clothes he gave her were indeed a size too small.

But the less fabric also made the girl's curves more apparent; the neckline of her clothes was stretched out of shape, revealing the firmness and fullness of the fruit.

Nanyun Yuyue said:

"Um... I was going to ask if your clothes fit, but I didn't expect you to come out first."
