Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

After the other old goats left, only the oldest of the old goats and the old goat himself stood there under the pavilion. The oldest old goat let out a sigh. "You should watch after this Kana closely. Not for her actions but to protect her from the others. Some hate divine beasts to the core. While they can not feel that girl's power, I can, and you have witnessed it for yourself. To even make a phoenix bow to her is enough to prove her power."

"This is why I put her under Little An's care. To try to keep those old batards from doing anything." The old goat replied.

"It will not be enough. Those guys are just as strong as you. If they wish to make a move, they will." The oldest old goat replied.

"If they are stupid enough to try to harm that girl, then so be it. Let them die, but I give you a fair warning. If you do not contain them, then I will not be responsible for the Holyland being destroyed. You are supposed to be our leader of sorts, as you are the strongest out of all of us. The people of the Holyland look up to us and even refer to us as deities. You may not believe it when I say it, but if she were to transform, she could easily swing her claw and smack the Holyland into the ground with little effort. It is nothing to her. We are the ants here. So do what you need to do. I am already doing my part." The old goat left these words before flying off. He did not wish to deal with this anymore. He left it to the one who was keeping them from all fighting. The leader of the holy tower itself.

The oldest old goat watched his longtime friend fly off and sighed. "If only things were that simple…."

In a room with many planets displayed about, Kana sat on a cushioned chair with her legs crossed up under her. Across from her was Little An, who was sipping on tea. "Kana, you should be careful. While I do not get out much, I do know that the old men who were downstairs, many of them, despise divine beasts. We have been fighting with them for many hundreds of years from what I understand, so they have long time grudges against them. They may try to make a move against you."

"Hmmm? If they wish to come, they can come. As long as they do not try to stick a sword up my butt, I will let them off easily…." Kana replied while stuffing her face with a pastry. But her words caused Little An to blush and lower her head.

"Anyway, this room is really green. I like it. Feels very natury." Kana liked the scent from the plants. It gave off a calming feeling making her feel more relaxed.

"I spent most of my life tending to the plants here. They are kinda like my children in a way. I love them dearly and take care of them as best as I can. When I first started out, the plants I tried to raise would easily die. But now, they are able to flourish so well. They also help me relax. Each one has a soothing effect and allows me to feel as if I am one with the world around me. I think they have a lot to do with why I was able to cultivate to this level at my age." Little An explained. She looked fondly at her plants. She truly cared for them.

"Then… Just in case…." Kana waved her hand, and the entire room glowed with a shimmer of blue before disappearing. "This room is now protected from any harm. Even if this whole island blew up, this room would still be safe. It would just float to the ground as if nothing had happened. Cherish the things you love because not many ever find such things in their lifetime. Like I love my family more than anything in the whole multiverse. If I had to choose to save millions of lives over one of my daughters, I would choose my daughter and let the others perish. My family is my reason for living and my reason to continue to grow stronger. You should be happy you found something you can devote your time and effort to."

Little An looked at Kana with a different kind of expression. It was filled with gratefulness and almost reverence. She had always felt the plants in her room were like her own family. While they could not talk, nor could they show her any kind of affection, she still loved them dearly and would never want them to die or be harmed in any way. They had been there for her when she was at her loneliest. When she had no one to talk to, they would listen even if they could not talk back. While she thought of her Master as her father, these planets were like her babies. "Thank you."

"Nothing to thank me for. We are friends now, are we not?" Kana said with a smile as she picked up another pastry. "These are not half bad but not as good as meat."

"Pfft… Hahaha! You really do love meat, don't you?" Little An said while bursting out laughing. The old goat walked in to see his disciple, who rarely laughs, laughing with pure joy. He could tell from the smile on her face that she was laughing from the bottom of her heart.

"What is wrong with loving meat!? Meat comes in third place right now of things I love." Kana replied with puffed out cheeks. Meat was amazing!

"I am guessing first place is your family, so what is second place?" Little An asked curiously, but she soon regretted it.

"My husband's meat stick!" Kana answered shamelessly.

It was then that they heard a crash behind them. Kana and Little An, who was blushing from ear to ear, turned around to see an old goat laying face first on the floor. The old goat ears turned red. He was walking in to say hi to them when he heard that and tripped over his own two feet!
