Chapter 24: A pleasant talk with Zamira

"I've bought a seed," Zamira came a few minutes after an absurd half-human and the dragon's battle.

She didn't show anything in her countenance, and her voice was as soft as usual. It was unfair for her to get jealous of her little sister's friendship progress. But as Zamira was always the silent one, she was the lady with the least friends.

If it weren't for Alice, many dragons wouldn't have approached her in the past. She always had a high-class lady's appearance, and her serious self always took fun from many activities, including the dungeon's expeditions.

Thus, Zamira was pretty well-versed in hiding her emotions. She also took a calm and responsible approach, believing that she could become better friends with Max on her own too.

In his case, she would make sure to not rely on her little sister's energetic and loud self.

Max smiled at Zamira with his handsome looks, "I will plant the seed now."

"Do you need help?" Zamira asked, seeing Max's right hand.

And as he peeked at his state, Max parted his lips. Yet, nothing came out. At first, he thought he wouldn't need help. But as it was an excellent chance to become closer with Zamira, Max's harem-seeking trait kicked in.

He smiled, "Yes. Alice, you keep an eye on your surroundings. If we get any challenger, you can use your left hand to beat him."

"I would rather kick, for these long legs seem better than my arms," Alice rolled her eyes, smiling much more dazzlingly than usual.

And with this setup, everyone tended to their responsibilities.

Max climbed up a little more, taking the highest spot for his first tree. He used Zamira's help to dig a hole, then planted a seed.

Both used their free hands to cover the hole back with the dirt.

And then, Zamira's lips parted with a sigh, "We need Alice's water, don't we?"

Max looked at her, realizing what had occurred in the lady dragon's heart. He smiled, telling her to look away.

He then grasped his beginner pants, taking out his own dragon, which was quite prideful, even in his calm state, "Who needs her?"

And after those words, Max let out the golden streak at the tree's seed. He whistled as the golden liquid splashed on the ground.

At the same time, Zamira lifted her hand, covering her lips as she gently chuckled. Her expression took a significant change, her heart slowly at ease.

Max couldn't see her face, but he heard her, "How was my spar with Alice? If you've seen something I can improve on, I will gladly use your help."

Zamira realized that Max's Mana Read was amazing and that he had seen her from the start. Her cheeks turned red as he probably had seen through her heart already, for she wanted to become friends with him indeed.

She whispered, "What have you learned on your own? That's the most important, and I will help you with that."

Max nodded, "I need a good close combat style, which is close to an all-rounder. I also need to read people's mana better to match my inferior mana skills."

After listening to Max's words, Zamira's eyes flashed with a few ideas. She told him she would pass him a dragon battle style that relied on raw mana. She also gave him an idea to steal people's memories.

In this way, Max could prepare himself better against more enemies.

"If you can create a skill to steal people's memories, you will be able to form your own battle manuals in your mind," Zamira added, "It's important to study them and not just mash them into one.

You need to understand them on your own," Zamira explained.

Max nodded, feeling pretty good about it. Such a skill also could be used in many other ways, so he looked forward to it.

"Thanks," Max smiled at Zamira from the bottom of his heart, genuinely glad for her presence. It was not just because of his harem-seeking trait. He long since realized that she, just like her little sister, was a good cure for his loneliness.

She was also a good girl to have around, for Zamira already proved reliable, be it explaining stuff to her sister or looking after him and Alice.

Zamira belatedly replied, "Thank you too..."

In her case, Zamira was a pure-blood dragon. She was like many dragon girls who felt naturally attracted to stronger men. And as Max had uniquely helped her, his mana had left a significant stamp on Zamira's body.

The more she thought about him, the better he seemed in her eyes. And those thoughts would escalate, for Zamira wanted to be as good a friend with him as Alice was.

But for now, it was time to safely log out.

After going down a little, Max called out to Alice, "Throw some water at my hands."

"Huh? Why?" Alice tilted her head, "Ah, you two dug!"

"Indeed," Max rolled his eyes.

After cleaning his hands, Max guided the twins to the beginner city. In this safe zone, they logged out.

"The destined heroine! This season is the last one! My girl must win!" Alice's eyes twinkled as she stared at the screen.

On her right, Zamira elegantly sat, yet her expression betrayed her expectations and agitation toward the movie.

And not too far away from them, Max had his eyes closed. He played the whole gaming day in his mind after creating essential skills.

He also glanced at the twins, for their expressions were different. Yet, he saw striking similarities caused by their hype for a movie.

'If things go all the way I want, how big will this family turn?' Max asked, imagining the lands beyond his comprehension.

He wondered whether his grandpa also had an encounter with dragons and perhaps was in a close relationship with them.

In fact, it was a good time to ask the twins whether they knew his grandfather's name as the player.

"Hey-" Max parted his lips.

Alice threw a pillow at him, "Don't talk now!"

"This girl..." Max sighed.
