"So this is your original world?"
After passing through the "door" Kanna had opened and arriving at the other side of the world, the first thing Shin noticed was that the air quality was quite different.
Clearly, the original world of Kanna and Tohru was a place with a medieval fantasy worldview, without the pollution of a modern city.
After all, in the original work, whether it was Tohru or Elma, after coming to the modern city, they didn't even understand what a computer was.
However, aside from that, Shin didn't feel any other differences.
"Yes, the magic power here is much more abundant."
Kanna sat on Shin's arm, and the somewhat listless expression on her face became much more spirited.
She opened her mouth and took a big breath, probably absorbing the magic power she mentioned.
Although Kanna's power could be converted from electrical energy, if she could directly absorb magic power, that would naturally be best.
However, although she'd recovered some power by absorbing magic power, Kanna didn't seem to have any intention of getting down from Shin's arm and continued sitting in Shin's embrace. Since Kanna's human form was very light, even sitting on Shin's arm put no pressure on him whatsoever, so Shin just let her sit there.
"Do you have a way to find Elma? I know of her, but I'm not familiar with her."
Shin floated in the air and surveyed the surroundings—the "door" had appeared above a forest.
At least within Shin's line of sight, he didn't see any inhabited places.
This world should be about the same size as Earth, and finding someone here wouldn't be easy.
Although with Shin's current power, destroying Earth was a matter of an instant, making Earth's size seem insignificant... but finding someone on Earth and destroying Earth weren't the same thing.
Shin wasn't even sure if the Dragon Balls would work in this world, but if Kanna had no way to find Elma, Shin could only try using the Dragon Balls to wish and see if he could bring Elma over.
Considering that sufficient strength could refuse the Dragon Balls' teleportation, Shin was genuinely a bit worried whether his projected counterfeit Shenron could forcibly teleport Elma over.
In the original work, Goku had once refused the Namekian Dragon Balls' teleportation, peacefully remaining on Planet Yardrat to train in Instant Transmission.
Although Elma's strength definitely couldn't compare to Goku's... but his projected counterfeit Shenron was definitely far inferior to the Namekian Dragon Balls too.
Fortunately, just as Shin was lost in thought, Kanna provided an answer:
"Although I can't find Elma-sama... I know the location of the 'Harmony Faction' base. She should be there."
The dragons of this world had various factions, and Elma belonged to the "Harmony Faction."
This was a faction dedicated to harmonizing relations between dragons and humans, but that didn't mean they held goodwill toward humans.
They simply advocated more than Tohru's "Chaos Faction" that all races should live together in the world.
Since Kanna knew the Harmony Faction's base, it seemed there was no need to use the Dragon Balls to make a wish. After all, opening the Reality Marble and projecting was quite troublesome.
"Then let's go check out the Harmony Faction's base."
Shin looked down at Kanna sitting on his arm and said.
Originally Shin thought Kanna would transform back into dragon form to guide him, but unexpectedly Kanna just continued sitting on his arm and extended her small hand to point in a direction. It seemed she was planning to just lounge on his hand like this.
Shin smiled helplessly and could only carry Kanna flying in the direction she pointed.
Clearly Tohru was always eager for Shin to ride on her while flying, but Kanna instead chose to ride on Shin's arm—these two really had completely different personalities.
"Elma, you went looking for that Tohru girl again, didn't you?"
At the Harmony Faction's base, Elma knelt on the ground facing a black-haired loli wearing a kimono.
At first glance there was a sense of incongruity—clearly the more mature-looking Elma was being lectured by a little girl.
But in reality, this black-haired little girl was Elma's grandmother and also the Harmony Faction's second-in-command, so naturally she was qualified to scold her granddaughter.
"...I did not!"
Facing her grandmother's interrogation, Elma stubbornly denied it.
Although she had indeed gone looking for Tohru, she ultimately hadn't found her, so she felt she wasn't really lying.
Tohru had been missing for a long time now, and Elma didn't know where she'd gone.
As a dragon of the Harmony Faction constantly going to find dragons of the Chaos Faction—this made quite a few dragons in the Harmony Faction feel helpless about Elma.
"Elma, you need to understand your position. Tohru is the daughter of the Emperor of Demise. As a cornerstone of the Chaos Faction, it's impossible for her to coexist with us."
Elma's grandmother—a dragon named Telne—stared at Elma and spoke in a somewhat low voice.
"Setting aside everything else, those Chaos Faction guys are always thinking about opposing humans—it's impossible for them to coexist with humanity."
The dragons of the Chaos Faction had been fighting against humans and gods in this world for countless ages. In Telne's view, it was fundamentally impossible for them to change their stance.
She'd also met Tohru—undoubtedly someone with a terrible attitude toward humans. She couldn't even imagine what Tohru being friendly to humans would look like.
"Tohru is different from other dragons!"
Elma furrowed her brow, clearly dissatisfied with Telne's statement.
She and Tohru had once been friends and had shared heart-to-heart talks. She knew that Tohru could actually get along well with humans.
But the dragons of the Harmony Faction obviously wouldn't believe her words.
"In any case, from now on you're forbidden from seeking out dragons of the Chaos Faction. Some dragons within the Harmony Faction already have complaints about your behavior."
Telne didn't know why Elma was so obsessed with Tohru, but considering the situation within the faction, she still firmly gave Elma an order.
"...I don't care!!!"
However, Elma was also quite a willful person. Hearing her grandmother's firm command, she also got angry.
Suddenly standing up, Elma's body shot up into the sky, then transformed into a blue sea dragon and flew off into the distance.
"This child..."
Telne watched Elma escape and could only sigh while holding her forehead, but didn't say anything more.
In her view, as long as she let Elma calm down for a while, she would come back.
After all, Elma's strength was formidable, on par with Tohru's. There weren't many in this world who could threaten her.
The reason Tohru had fallen was because of her Chaos Faction identity, which led to her being hit by a holy sword and getting into trouble.
But Elma, as part of the Harmony Faction, hadn't made enemies everywhere, so Telne felt reassured about her.
Of course, Telne could never have imagined that someone from another world would come looking for Elma.
