Aina giggled. "Don't look at me like that. This is what they call 'taking responsibility'."

Leonel laughed. He guessed that could be considered better than any dowry or gift to the family. But it wasn't like it was completely thanks to him that Aina was able to gain this.

Without her Soul Clairvoyance, a clearly broken ability, she would have never been able to do it. Now, she was probably even more powerful than she had been in the past.

But this was also good in Leonel's views. One of them would never have to worry about falling behind the other. They'd always be able to keep up with each other like this, especially since...

"Don't pout so much, this means I can help you a lot too. I can feel the recipes for a lot of Force Pills you need floating around in my mind."

"Like?" Leonel asked.

"But I can see that you're still losing a lot of its potential. I would imagine that the true Golden Tiger and Death Pulse Deer are exceptionally powerful creatures and their strength, even in the Fourth Dimension, wouldn't be so limited.

"I can create a series of Pills that make the Lineage Factors, um, I guess you could say more in line with your goals for them?"

Leonel raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Well, right now the purpose of those two Lineage Factors isn't exactly what you want them to be. Though they have portions of themselves that do enhance the body, especially during a beast transformation, they're actually more focused on Force and Force usage.

smiled sweetly. "I can, but it won't be a single-step process,

Pill Crafting was clearly something that Aina was passionate about, and he knew so little about it. He hadn't even known what Forces she specialized in, or more accurately, what level
