[El's POV: ]
"Anyway Cary, what exactly is this thing? It looks simple but I can't even use my eyes on it so it certainly is nothing like your average Artifact or anything. What exactly is this glass slab?"
[ "Hahaha. So you do not know after all, huh? Seems like this thing is more precious than I thought it was." ]
She laughed while she continued smiling at him warmly and Lucy shook his head with a sad expression before looking at his cute bird who had also brought back sothing that looked normal but was certainly no normal teapot.
These were both things that they had co across when they were in this storage room in the past however, since these things seed of no particular value other than being a little old, they had mostly always just disregarded them.
But, it didn't an they had neglected these items. Certainly not.
Just like every other item in this room, they had already thoroughly analyzed every item and this one, according to their categorization, belonged to the 'miscellaneous' items.
They were particularly so of the most common items that didn't show any special reaction to any of their appraisal skills.
It was their judgnt that these items were just so normal, common things that had been mixed with the other important things sohow however, things were different now that their own familiars, who possessed skills like no other being, had brought back these things than there was certainly no way that they were sothing as normal as they had considered it to be.
[ "Alright master~! Watch this~! This thing is an item that should have been lost a long ti ago however, seeing it here brings back so pleasant mories." ]
Cary held the thin glass cube in both his hands and channeled so Mana in this normal-looking thing.
[ "[Form release]." ]
He used one of his skills after that which they had thought was a skill that also allowed him to turn back to a different form however, it seed this dragon could use the skills that were supposed to be used on his own self only, on other things that were in an inactive or sealed state as well.
It shouldn't have been possible for him to do this though. One skill that was ant to be used on 'self' could not be used on other things according to the rules of the skills, however, he also possessed a skill that negated the Law itself so, in a way, nothing was impossible for this dragon.
He easily released the hidden form of that thing and, a tallic blue rectangle with curved edges, a unique thickness, and a glass screen-
"A smartphone?! What the hell Cary?! Stuff like this exists in this place?! Wowowowowow~!"
She just took the artifact from his hands, which he didn't like since this thing belonged to him and not her, and started searching for a button to boot it up. However, there was no power button on this thing.
[ "What are you doing? Are you searching for so kind of switch on an ? It's not so machine you dumb master. Insert your Mana in it. Control it with Mana, though it will prove out to be difficult since one needs to have Mana control at least as great as a high elf to even properly operate the basic functions of this special thing." ]
He said that with his head held up high. He certainly had the pride of a dragon even if he lacked their greed.
"I just have to use Mana? That's even more convenient!"
He was the 'Lord of Mana' and a dragon. He was far above so high elf or any other creature when it ca to Mana control.
He didn't even have to control the Mana himself. The basic Mana strings danced according to his will.
His re thoughts can cause the Mana to perform tasks that might usually be considered complex tasks that not just anyone could perform in this Worldline.
Perhaps, he was one of the best beings when it ca to controlling Mana. And still, as he watched her channel her own Mana inside this cool-looking smartphone-like object, he couldn't believe what he was seeing with his own eyes.
[ "One is astonished to witness such dominance over Mana and Mana control. One is overjoyed to see soone like one's master's partner doing sothing even so of the dragonoids might get themselves embarrassed over." ]
"Yes, El sure has a great Mana control. But, that's just a passable one according to her. She will get far better than a dragonoid in the future. Perhaps, she will beco even better than high-ranking dragons, however, we do not know the future. She might just beco soone even more adept at using it than any other being in this Worldline."
He had a smile on his face as he looked at her activating the artifact easily and going through the complicated-looking things that were written in the Celestial language.
She definitely understood what was going on inside the screen that represented unique stuff that he himself did not understand however, looking at the excited smile on her face and feeling her rapidly draining Mana, he knew she had found her new favorite toy.
"Damn, this is fucking amazing!"
[ "Right? Hahaha! It used to be a very famous item from one of the initial civilizations after our creation that was available in large quantity in the past however, after a certain incident and extinction of that kind, these things had almost vanished. I thought I would never see one again but it's fine to have a good thing like this one once again." ]
"Hehehe… hahahaha! Wow! Just amazing~! This thing is like a literal hacking device~! How fun!"
She was almost out of Mana in just a few minutes so she had to stop herself however, even though she was done playing with this thing for now, the smartphone artifact had picked up her interest like nothing had in the past few months.
It was just the kind of toy she would want as her birthday gift but, even though it wasn't her birthday, this thing now belonged to her… or her familiar, both were the sa~!
[ "Alright now. Give it back. I still have things to see using this." ]
"Yes, yes~! Here~! Would you please share it with and teach what you know about this cool thing Cary~? Please~?"
She grabbed his paws and asked him with stars in her eyes, and an expression he couldn't possibly refuse even though he was a dragon.
[ "A…alright. We can share this but this is mine, OK?" ]
"Of course it's yours~! But you are mine so this is ultimately mine as well~!"
He didn't like the way she put that, but, it was the truth that he had no choice but to accept. This artifact belonged to him however, he was her eternal companion now so, all his things technically belonged to her.
"Alright then~! Here you go~."
She handed the artifact back in his small paws and…
-Smack!
Smacked his head the the way she had done until a while ago.
The cute creature left his guard down and made a mistake, and, got the result of complaining about pain before soone who loved inducing it.
"Kekekeke… muhahahaha~! If it painful Cary darling~? Does this hurt~? Do you want mama's embrace dear?"
[ "One is concerned how one's master has been with their partner until now with kind of..." ]
"You get used to it after so ti, dear. And if you have a weak ntality, you also start enjoying it with your heart, soul, and body."
[ "…" ]
She was starting to understand why his ntality was so strong.
And the poor dragon was now understanding the aning behind that 'warm' smile on her face until now…
