The Young Dragon Arrives in Terra / Sleeping After Meals Is a Fine Quality in a Young One ...

Kanna's Transformation on Terra, by Salted Fish Konata

She had never imagined that one day, she would transmigrate.

She had never imagined that she would become a character from an anime.

Much less that she would arrive in this land filled with suffering.

"Magiyabakunai." Kanna stretched out her little hand, snatched up a passing Originium slug, and swallowed it whole with an "aahm" before patting her slightly dirtied clothes...

The Young Dragon Enters Terra

"Phew, phew."

Kanna sat atop a small hill.

A fierce battle was taking place several kilometers away.

Driven by the fighting, the beasts that had originally lived there and nearby scattered in every direction.

All Kanna had to do was wait for prey, then casually catch a couple of beasts passing by to use as food.

As for the two sides fighting, she had no intention of approaching them...

After all, not every battle on this land involved Rhodes Island. More likely, it was two groups of Sarkaz beating each other up.

That was right. The land she was on was Terra, where cryptic weirdos lurked everywhere.

A world filled with violence, war, discrimination, Originium Infection, and animal-eared girls and boys.

Fortunately, this was only Terra and not Holy Terra... At least there was no Emperor or Four Peddlers-tier existence here.

Therefore, this body of hers might look young, but its combat ability was decent enough that survival was not much of a problem.

While boredly watching the battlefield in the distance, Kanna poked at the virtual screen before her.

A week ago, she had been an utterly ordinary shut-in guy. After a busy day, he returned home and skillfully turned on his computer.

Then, while leaving Arknights running in the background to clear his daily 400-prank campaign and rewatching Dragon Maid in the foreground, he blinked—and arrived in this desolate land.

At first, he had been terrified and nervous, but after discovering that he had become Kanna from Dragon Maid—

Hehe~

He immediately stopped panicking.

After all, Dragon Maid was a slice-of-life anime. Those who knew, knew how strong slice-of-life characters could be.

Besides, Kanna was a dragon. Even if she was only a young dragon, a young dragon was still a dragon...

What made him uncomfortable was that he had only inherited this body. He knew none of its skills or techniques, nor could he transform back into a dragon.

It was like having a max-level empty account with no skills unlocked, leaving him with the frustrating feeling of having strength but nowhere to use it.

Just when she was feeling somewhat lost, a transparent panel appeared before him.

Lord of Thunder Cultivation System

This was the other cheat ability he had obtained besides this body.

Its function was that successfully completing a mission would randomly grant a lightning-related skill.

Since Kanna's abilities in the anime were also related to electricity, this system complemented her perfectly.

Most importantly, according to the system's prompts, it only issued one mission at a time.

Even if she failed, it would simply issue a new mission without any penalty. Yet every successful completion would randomly grant a skill.

So long as the missions were not overly difficult, Kanna felt that completing them was quite worthwhile.

The first mission she had accepted was also extremely simple.

Successfully survive in the wilderness for ten days (9/10)

Completion reward: Random skill

When she saw that mission, she had not hesitated in the slightest.

Come on, as a modern youth who had watched every documentary by Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford and survived in the cloud, combined with this body practically stamped with the words "invincible," Kanna had no idea how she could possibly fail.

Sure enough, nine days had passed with practically no pressure at all. She only needed to experience one more sunrise and sunset before learning her first skill.

It was not as if he had not considered unlocking his own abilities during these past few days.

But whether it was the system sealing them away or simply his own lack of skill, he could not effectively use even something as simple as discharging electricity, much less a Railgun.

At most, he could make his tail crackle loudly.

The only upside was that the electricity in her tail was quite powerful. It could easily ignite firewood, keeping her from having to eat raw food.

As for techniques, relying on her ridiculously overpowered physical abilities, she had "successfully developed" three moves: "Pseudo-Thunderous Level," "Pseudo-Righteous Thunderous Wrathful Axe," and "Pseudo-Thunder Plow Heat Blade." In reality, they were just spreading both arms and charging at an enemy before smashing them with her forearms, jumping into the air and kicking down, and spreading her arms before ramming into them.

Thanks to her powerful body, they looked awful, but their actual effects were extremely good.

At the very least, that was how she had obtained all her food these past few days.

After roughly half an hour, the battle in the distance came to an end, and the victorious side began looting the battlefield.

Kanna touched her horns and yawned.

She was a young dragon, after all. She had only played for a short while and already wanted to sleep again.

But if she did not prepare food first, waking up hungry in the middle of sleep would be quite miserable.

Sleeping After Eating Is an Excellent Quality for Younglings

Kanna climbed up from the ground and looked around. She quickly spotted and locked onto her prey.

It was a wild boar nearly two meters long and one and a half meters tall.

Judging by how it was rooting around in the muddy ground nearby, trying to dig up bugs or rats with its tusks for a snack, it had to be an outsider.

After all, during the past few days, the local large beasts had either entered Kanna's stomach or been scared away. Aside from the first week, she had not hunted anything this large in the last two days.

So, the moment she spotted the wild boar, Kanna knew her dinner was settled.

Amid a burst of crackling electricity, Kanna shot straight toward the wild boar's head like a cannonball.

"Righteous Thunderous Wrathful Axe!"

While the wild boar was still dumbfounded about why there was a voice above its head, Kanna kicked it squarely in the forehead.

In an instant, accompanied by the sound of something collapsing, the wild boar met its end without ever understanding why.

Kanna circled the fallen boar once and clapped her hands in satisfaction.

This kick was the move she had practiced most skillfully over the past few days. It was fast, accurate, and ruthless.

With one strike, whether it was a wild boar, a black bear, or any other large animal, it was guaranteed to die. The wound was not even that large, so at least it remained a whole corpse until it was eaten.

Then Kanna lightly lifted it. A wild boar nearly dozens of times her combined size was effortlessly raised into the air.

Holding the boar, she expertly arrived at a riverbank. After gutting it, she skewered the mostly cleaned boar on a massive branch, slung it over her shoulder, and hopped toward the temporary home she had occupied these past few days.

Speaking of this temporary home, it had previously belonged to an exceptionally warm and hospitable brown bear.

When Kanna had first been transported here, alone and without a place to stay, this brown bear had warmly welcomed her to live permanently in its cave. It had generously gifted its own flesh to Kanna free of charge, and, fearing that young Kanna might not sleep well outdoors, had even kindly donated its fur as her blanket.

At the time, Kanna had been deeply touched by the brown bear's fearless spirit. So, she ate it completely clean, even breaking every bone open to suck out the marrow.

After bringing the boar home, she gathered some firewood and stuck her tail into it.

With a burst of electrical crackling, flames rose from the wood.

Before the fire could reach her tail, Kanna swiftly pulled it back and expertly placed the boar over the flames.

Before long, the fragrance of roasting meat drifted out from the cave.

The beasts living nearby wanted to approach after smelling the meat, but a terrifying sensation suddenly came from within the cave.

The beasts instantly scattered and fled. None dared covet that fragrant smell from the cave again.

After a hearty meal, Kanna rubbed her eyes. She could no longer refuse Duke of Zhou's invitation, so she staggered over to the bearskin, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Not long after Kanna fell asleep, a fully armed group arrived beside the river where she had butchered the wild boar.

Such groups should have been quite common on this land, but what was uncommon was that this squad included both Sarkaz and Sarkaz.

The two races could be said to share an absolute blood feud. Even if an organization could accept both races, it would be difficult to have them serve in the same squad.

The most troublesome ones were the Sarkaz. After Kazdel's civil war, the Sarkaz had scattered and fallen apart. Many joined other organizations or became mercenaries. These Sarkaz did not care who their employer was; so long as the price was right, they would risk their lives.

But most Sarkaz were famously stubborn. They were highly accepting of their own kind, but toward the Sarkaz they regarded as enemies, not drawing their guns on sight was already the limit of their patience.

Therefore, a squad containing both and getting along so harmoniously seemed extremely strange to those who did not know the circumstances.

The Cautious Elite Operators

Crouching down, she gently wiped the rock, where the smell of blood had not yet faded, with her hand, then lifted it beneath her nose and gave it a light sniff.

"It isn't human blood! It belongs to some kind of beast. Judging from what we saw while following the river, someone should have processed a beast here. Those Sarkaz mercenaries?" the Sarkaz spoke. Her voice was clearly female—somewhat weathered, yet full of vigor.

"Probably not. Leaving aside the considerable distance between the daytime battlefield and this place, this location is not on the route of either mercenary group. There should be someone else nearby. But our mission is complete. Should we withdraw directly, or investigate who exactly is in the area?"

The male Sarkaz shook his head and looked in the direction Kanna had left.

"Let's sneak over and take a look. The landship has to pass through this route, so we must make sure the other party will not affect our landship."

The Sarkaz quickly made her choice.

"You're still as cautious as ever, Outcast."

"Same to you, Misery."

Clearly, these two were the squad's leaders. After they made their decision, the squad adjusted its route and began searching toward the cave where Kanna was resting.

Before long, they reached Kanna's location. Looking at the cave illuminated by flickering firelight, the squad cautiously surrounded the outside.

"The other party should be inside."

"I checked the area. Forget beasts—there aren't even any bugs around. It seems the other party has been stationed here for a long time. But it's strange. I saw neither hidden sentries nor traps. If not for that firelight, I would have thought this was an ordinary beast's den."

"It is indeed strange. Even an ordinary scavenger should not leave themselves completely undefended in this wilderness. That isn't normal!" Outcast stared suspiciously at the cave entrance.

"I'll sneak in and take a look! With my Originium Arts, as long as the other side is not a top-tier caster, I can infiltrate easily." After thinking briefly, Misery prepared to take the risk and investigate.

"Fine. We'll prepare at the entrance. If you find danger, retreat immediately." Outcast did not stop him, because she trusted Misery, an Elite Operator, to handle the situation.

Under the squad's watchful eyes, Misery slipped into the cave with exceptional agility.

However, after entering the cave, Misery did not send any message through the squad's combat channel.

Just as everyone began to grow anxious over the silent channel, Misery's voice came through their earpieces.

"Come in. There's no threat inside."

For some reason, Misery's voice sounded strange, as if he had discovered something incomprehensible.

Though she did not know what was inside, Outcast confirmed that the voice in the channel was indeed Misery's. She trusted that no one could silently subdue Misery so quickly. Still, for safety's sake, she decided to lead the squad. If there really was trouble, she could hold it off for a moment and give the Operators behind her time to retreat.

Upon entering, they were greeted by the enormous, nearly intact skeleton of a wild boar and a blazing bonfire beside it.

Further inside, Misery stood there with an incredulous expression. At his feet, Outcast clearly saw a young girl lying peacefully asleep on a bearskin.

The Sleeping Youngling Was Taken Away!

"What's going on? Why is there only a Vayvan youngling? Was this a slave-catching squad?"

Outcast carefully walked up beside Misery and softly asked as she looked at Kanna, who was sleeping so soundly that a long string of drool hung from her mouth.

Misery rarely showed a bitter smile.

"There are no traces of anyone else. Before you came in, I checked repeatedly. The only traces in this cave belong to this little one. You saw those bones, right? If I'm not mistaken, this little one ate an entire wild boar."

"How is that possible? Look at her stomach. Even if she burst from overeating, she couldn't possibly eat a single pig leg, much less an entire wild boar." Outcast crouched down and placed a hand on Kanna's flat stomach.

"But that is the only conclusion we can draw, Outcast.

"This place is so small, there is only one exit, and there are no traces of a second person. Based on our earlier deduction by the river, no more than three hours have passed since the pig was killed.

"So other than this little one eating all the meat from the entire pig, what other way could there be for that amount of meat to disappear?"
