Chapter 2057 - Genome Tree
"Are you a chef too?"
"Delicious!"
"It's Kuro Usagi's first time eating such a delicious grilled fish!"
The dragon felt that its surroundings were too noisy as it opened its eyes.
"Have you woken up?"
The dragon then looked at Haru in a daze before it asked, "Have I lost?"
"Yes." Haru nodded and said, "From now on, you'll be my maid."
"...Yes." The dragon was a bit depressed when it thought that it had lost against a human, but since it had lost, it wouldn't make an excuse and followed the agreement that they had decided before. "From now on, I'll serve you as your maid, um..." She forgot that she didn't ask Haru's name before, which made it felt a bit embarrassing.
"Kasugano Haruka. You can call me Haru," Haru said.
"Yes, Haru-sama." The dragon bowed its head slightly.
"........" Kuro Usagi, who saw this scene, wasn't sure what to say and she was just too dumbfounded since it had just been a while since Haru came to the Little Garden, but he had made the Water God into his maid?
"Still, you sure are something to turn a dragon into a maid," Asuka said as she stared at the dragon's huge body.
"By the way, can you turn your body smaller?" Asagi asked.
The dragon didn't say anything, but it stared at the girls unhappily.
"They're my friends. Their names are Kuro Usagi, Yuu Kasukabe, and Kudo Asuka," Haru said.
"Friend..." Yuu smiled when she heard Haru's words.
Kuro Usagi only smiled happily, but Asuka was a bit embarrassed, but she didn't refute Haru's words and accepted their relationship.
"Yes." The dragon nodded, then looked at Asagi.
"She's Asagi Aiba. She's my girlfriend. If I'm not around, you should listen to her, can you?" Haru asked.
"Girlfriend?" The dragon looked at Asagi from up and down, and felt a bit unhappy again, even though it didn't know what was the reason.
"Hello," Asagi said with a smile.
"Hello." The dragon nodded.
"By the way, do you have a name?" Yuu asked.
"My name is Shirayuki-hime. You can call me that from now on. As for the previous question, whether I can turn myself smaller or not, I can." Then a light enveloped Shirayuki-hime before it turned into a beautiful woman.
".........." Haru looked at Shirayuki-hime and wondered why a dragon would suddenly be transformed into a beautiful woman. 'I've got nothing to complain about, though.'
Unlike her previous giant serpentine form, Shirayuki-hime had become a beautiful woman with black glossy hair held up by a tri-colored flower hairpin, wearing a white, elegant kimono with flower patterns and geta shoes.
"Wow, you're so beautiful, Shirayuki-hime!" Asagi was amazed when a dragon would suddenly turn into a beautiful woman.
Yuu was also interested and also started to ask a lot of questions to Shirayuki-hime.
Shirayuki-hime was a bit overwhelmed, but since they were connected to her master, she could only answer them one by one, even though she didn't really want to before she quickly moved beside Haru. She just didn't know why, but she just felt an affection toward him and felt that it was so nice to stay by his side so she didn't have that much of a complaint when she had become his maid.
Haru then looked at Yuu and asked curiously, "Yuu, your power is that you can talk with an animal, right?"
"Um, it's one of my powers, but I can also borrow their powers as long as I make them into my friend," Yuu said and looked at Shirayuki-hime since she also wanted to make her into her friend.
Haru was a bit curious about the medal on Yuu's neck, then asked, "That power is coming from that medal, right?"
"Um." Yuu nodded. "It's a Genome Tree. Do you want to see it?"
"Can I?" Haru asked.
"Sure." Yuu then gave her medal to Haru directly, which made him feel a bit strange, wondering how this girl could trust him so much. However, he didn't say much, only thanked her, and used his "Elemental Sight" to check what kind of power that it had.
'Genome Tree, huh?' Haru had to admit that the power of this Genome Tree was intriguing.
"What can you see?" Asagi asked.
Shirayuki-hime, Kuro Usagi, and Asuka also looked at Haru curiously.
"Hmm... well, this thing can also copy the power of animals that you have befriended. However..."
"However?"
"There's a limit," Haru said.
"Limit?" Yuu tilted her head, showing confusion.
"Um." Haru nodded and returned the medal to Yuu while secretly creating a copy of it. "If it's a normal animal like a cat, tiger, dog, etc, then there isn't any problem, but if it's a stronger animal such as an animal in the legend, then this thing might be destroyed."
"...Really?" Yuu was dumbfounded.
"Well, if it's a weaker animal in the legend then it is okay, but if it's something like... let's say, like a Garuda, Yamata-no-Orochi, or any other legendary monsters, then it might bust out directly," Haru said.
Yuu lowered her head and felt a bit depressed. "Then... I can't make friends with everyone?"
"........" Everyone.
"I should be able to modify it so it can even befriend the legendary monster such as Behemoth, Levithan, or even Ziz," Haru said.
".........." Everyone.
"Really?" Yuu's eyes shone in excitement and bowed her head directly. "Then please do it!" She was about to give her Genome Tree to Haru directly, but he stopped her and said, "Let's do it later. How about you try whether you can copy Shirayuki-hime's power first or not?" He then looked at Shirayuki-hime and asked, "Shirayuki-hime, is that alright?"
Shirayuki-hime nodded. "I don't mind." She looked at Yuu and asked, "What should I do?"
"Can you be my friend?" Yuu asked.
"Yes."
Then suddenly the medal on Yuu's neck shone up which caused everyone to feel curious.
"How is it?" Haru asked curiously.
Yuu moved her hands slightly before she tried to control the water nearby.
"What?!"
Kuro Usagi and Shirayuki-hime were surprised when they saw that Yuu was able to copy the power of Shirayuki-hime.
"This..." Kuro Usagi started to imagine if Yuu could become a friend with a lot of legendary animals, then...
"Thank you, Kasugano-kun," Yuu said with a smile.
"Just call me, Haru."
"Um, Haru."
"By the way, Yuu, can I make a copy of your medal?" Haru asked.
"Copy?" Yuu titled her head, but she nodded. "If you can copy it, then it is okay." She then gave her medal again to Haru, wondering what he was about to do, but then, she was surprised to see there were two medals on his hands.
"Thanks." Haru then gave the original to Yuu.
"Um, no problem." Yuu nodded.
".........."
Kuro Usagi, Shirayuki-hime, and Asuka. The three of them had seen the power of Yuu's medal and Haru could make a copy of it?
".........."
They were wondering what this guy couldn't do.
Haru then put the medal on Asagi's neck and asked, "How is it?"
Asagi suddenly felt a lot of power on her body and could feel that she had become stronger. "It's great!"
"Use this first."
"Thank you, Haru." Asagi didn't hesitate to kiss Haru's lips.
"Wh --?!"
Kuro Usagi, Yuu, Asuka, and Shirayuki-hime turned red when they saw Haru and Asagi kissing each other's lips!
'How shameless!'
Still, they had to admit that when they saw Haru's treatment of Asagi, they felt quite jealous of Asagi.
Asagi only laughed when she saw everyone's reaction.
Haru only coughed and said, "How about we enter the Little Garden now?"
They knew that this guy tried to change the topic of the conversation, but they agreed.
"Yes, yes, let's go to the Little Garden so Kuro Usagi can show you all Kuro Usagi's community!" Kuro Usagi was desperate since she wanted to bring Haru to her community as soon as possible.
They agreed and directly followed Kuro Usagi, but then, they realized that they might forget something. However, if they could forget about it, then it shouldn't be something important, right?
