"Really?" Kanna's eyes widened with hope, tears welling up.

"Of course. Since you have nowhere else to go, Kanna, you can stay with us," Roy said gently.

"Hey, I don't agree to this!" Tohru protested before Kanna could even reply.

"Tohru, look how pitiful she is. If we don't take her in, she'll be homeless," Roy pleaded.

"Mmm..." Tohru couldn't refute that.

"I don't believe you. You must have some ulterior motive. You're trying to use me," Kanna accused, her voice soft but filled with suspicion.

"Kanna, it's true that you shouldn't trust strangers in an unfamiliar world. But even if you don't trust me, you can trust Tohru, right?"

Kanna looked at him, her expression softening.

"Stay with us. Tohru and I will take care of you until your parents come to get you," Roy said with a warm smile, patting her head.

Kanna started to sob softly.

Roy's kindness was a stark contrast to her father's harshness.

She seemed to be releasing all her pent-up emotions, tears streaming down her face.

Tohru, seeing this, no longer felt jealous. She smiled at them.

"Oh no, my fish!" Tohru suddenly exclaimed, remembering the fish she had been frying.

She rushed to the kitchen and found the fish burnt to a crisp.

"I'm sorry, Roy!" she apologized, her head lowered.

"It's okay. We probably don't have enough food to celebrate Kanna's arrival anyway," Roy said with a smile. "So, let's just skip cooking and eat."

He didn't blame Tohru and led her and Kanna to the dining room.

Tohru looked at him expectantly. She knew Roy could use magic to summon a feast.

They had been doing that for the past few days while staying indoors.

Roy's Storage magic contained a vast amount of food.

More than enough for them.

He opened a portal and retrieved dish after dish, filling the table.

"Wow! It smells so good!" Kanna exclaimed, drooling at the sight of the delicious food.

Even Tohru, who had enjoyed Roy's cooking many times, couldn't help but drool.

"Alright, Tohru, Kanna, dig in," Roy said with a chuckle.

"Itadakimasu!"

"Itadakimasu!"

They wasted no time and started devouring the food.

No one knew how much a dragon could eat. After depleting most of Roy's food reserves, Tohru and Kanna finally declared themselves full.

Roy looked at the two girls with round bellies, wondering if he could afford to feed them.

....

That afternoon, Roy took Tohru and Kanna to an amusement park.

His main goal was to teach Kanna about the human world. And he would be the one teaching her.

He didn't let Tohru teach her. Who knew what kind of strange things she might say?

Like "that's awesome" or something.

"Sorry for the wait!" Roy said, handing Tohru and Kanna the ice cream cones he had just bought.

"Tohru-sama, what's this?" Kanna asked, taking the ice cream.

"It's called ice cream. It's very delicious," Tohru explained, taking a bite and letting out a satisfied sigh.

Kanna also took a bite, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Ooh... Maji yabakune~"

"What?!" Roy's eye twitched.

"Kanna, who taught you that?"

"Taught me what?" Kanna looked at him with a confused tilt of her head.

"That phrase you just said!"

"Ooh... Maji yabakune~"

"Yes, that!" Roy couldn't believe that Kanna had learned that... interesting catchphrase in the short time he had been gone.

"It was me!" Tohru chirped, raising her hand. She thought Roy was going to praise her.

"Of course it was you..." Roy sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

But it didn't matter. It was one of Kanna's charms, after all.

...

Back at the apartment that night, after settling Kanna in her room, Roy and Tohru went to their own room to play some "Games."

But just as they were about to start, they heard a knock on the door.

"Kanna?" Tohru opened the door and saw Kanna standing there with a pillow.

"Tohru-sama, can I sleep with you?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Why?"

"Because... because..." Tohru stammered, her face flushed.

"Kanna, be a good girl and sleep in your own room. I'll let Tohru sleep with you tomorrow, okay?" Roy coaxed, patting Kanna's head.

"Are you two going to do something 'Awesome'?" Kanna asked innocently.

Roy and Tohru exchanged awkward glances.

They hadn't expected her to say that.

"Roy is a pervert!" Kanna declared, then ran away.

"Let's just ignore her. We'll apologize tomorrow," Roy said with a shrug, pulling Tohru back into their room.

...

For the next few days, Roy took Tohru and Kanna out to various places.

Kanna gradually became accustomed to the human world.

But they didn't go out every day. Roy thought it was nice to spend some time at home as well.

However, Kanna, being an energetic child, didn't want to stay inside.

"I want to go out and play!" she declared.

"We went out yesterday, didn't we?"

"I'm bored! I want to play!"

"Well, Kanna is still a child. She needs to exercise," Tohru said.

"Fine, fine," Roy relented.

"Where do you want to go, Kanna?"

....

Roy took Tohru and Kanna to a vast, empty grassland where they could play freely.

"Go on and play, you two," Roy said, sitting down on the grass.

"Eh? Aren't you joining us, Roy?"

"Um... you two play first. I'll watch..."

"Then let's play, Tohru-sama!"

Tohru and Kanna started playing.

...

Of course, their idea of "playing" was a bit different from that of ordinary children.

Tohru and Kanna faced each other, their auras flaring as they charged.

They grappled with each other, their immense strength shaking the ground.

Tohru broke free and swung at Kanna, who swiftly grabbed her arm and threw her into the air with an over-the-shoulder throw.

She then charged up a Kamehameha...

No, wait, it was just a regular energy blast.

Tohru flipped in the air, dodging the attack, then opened her mouth wide.

A terrifying energy beam shot out.

Kanna leaped aside, narrowly avoiding the blast, but she was still thrown back by the shockwave.

The beam struck the ground, creating a mushroom cloud.

Their "playtime" was like a battle between gods.

Roy, however, found it rather boring.

"Stop!" he called out, yawning.

"Roy, what's wrong?"

"Roy, are you joining us?"

Tohru and Kanna stopped fighting and looked at him curiously.

"No, your game is just too boring," Roy replied with a shrug.

"Eh? Boring?" Tohru and Kanna exchanged glances.

"Do you have any fun games, Roy?" Tohru asked.

"Of course."

Roy snapped his fingers.

They were transported to a subspace.

"Ooh... Maji yabakune~" Kanna exclaimed, amazed by his magic.

Roy's lips twitched.

"I'm going to teach you a game called 'Bullet Hell'," Roy announced.

"Bullet Hell?"

"Is that a human game?"

"No, it's more like a Youkai game," Roy replied after a moment of thought.

He was referring to the danmaku battles in Touhou Project. The beautiful and powerful barrages of projectiles were a sight to behold.

"Watch this."

Roy demonstrated the most basic Devil magic: the magic bullet.

He waved his hand, and the sky filled with countless ice-blue magic bullets.

They were small, like twinkling stars.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

"Ooh... Maji yabakune~"

Tohru and Kanna were mesmerized by the dazzling display.

But Roy wasn't done yet. The magic bullets suddenly rearranged themselves, forming a smiley face.

Then, they shifted into a five-pointed star, followed by an image of Kanna's head.

"It's Kanna-chan! So cute!"

"Roy, you're amazing! Amazing!"

Tohru and Kanna were amazed. They loved this "Bullet Hell" game.

Roy could create many other patterns, of course, including various geometric shapes.

But Bullet Hell was meant for combat. Its true beauty could only be appreciated in a fight.

"Want to learn it?"

"Yes! Yes!" Tohru and Kanna nodded eagerly.

Magic bullets were a simple spell, and they quickly mastered it.

...

In the subspace, Roy stood on one side, facing Tohru and Kanna.

It was a one-versus-two battle.

Roy unleashed a barrage of ice-blue magic bullets.

Tohru and Kanna also fired their own white magic bullets.

Casting magic bullets was easy, but controlling a large number of them was difficult.

And controlling their trajectory to attack was even harder.

As beginners, Tohru and Kanna couldn't match Roy's control over his magic bullets.

It seemed this Bullet Hell game could also be used for training their control over magic.

Roy launched his attack.

Tohru and Kanna countered with their own barrages.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Their attacks collided, creating a colorful explosion.

"Take this! I'll show you what I can do!" Tohru shouted excitedly, summoning more magic bullets.

"Tohru-sama is amazing! I'll join in too!" Kanna followed suit.

"Hmph! You're still too inexperienced to face me. Behold my Eight Trigrams Formation!" Roy declared, channeling his inner chuunibyou.

Countless magic bullets formed an intricate pattern before him.

Their attacks clashed once again.

This time, Roy didn't hold back. His Eight Trigrams Formation broke through their defenses and exploded around Tohru and Kanna.

Although the attack wasn't very powerful, it ignited their competitive spirit.

"Let's do this, Kanna!"

"Yes, Tohru-sama!"

They summoned even more magic bullets.

Roy also unleashed another barrage.

Their Bullet Hell battle lasted until the afternoon.

Kanna's magic power was almost depleted.

Unlike Tohru, she couldn't generate her own mana endlessly.

And Roy could easily open a portal to another dimension and absorb magic power there.

They returned home.

"Tohru-sama, that was so much fun today!" Kanna exclaimed, sitting on the sofa and plugging her tail into an outlet to recharge her magic.

There was no need to worry about electricity bills.

Kanna's charging requirements were 5V/2.5A, and it took about 7-8 hours to fully charge her.

It was quite energy-efficient.

"I had fun too! Let's play again tomorrow!" Tohru replied cheerfully.

As Dragons, they found this kind of game more enjoyable than human games.

Human games were more of a novelty.

Roy had no choice but to indulge them.

...

For the next few days, they played Bullet Hell every day.

Although it was a fun game, Roy didn't want to play it all the time.

So, he found an excuse.

"Tohru, do you have any friends here?" he asked as Tohru cleaned the apartment in her maid outfit.

"Of course! Like Fafnir and Lucoa," Tohru replied with a smile.

"How about inviting them over?" Roy suggested.
