Star Iron: The Past and Present Life of the Gender-Swapped Dragon Lord

"Big sister... Clara knows you."

Before Danheng could even speak, Clara's words stunned him.

"Clara, do you know me? I don't think we've ever greeted each other."

Faced with Danheng's question, Clara tightened her small hands and said timidly.

"Actually, Clara was watching from the side when you were dealing with the conflict between the homeless and the mining team that day."

Dan Heng was taken aback for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared on his face.

No wonder she felt like something was watching her that day; it was Clara.

Danheng patted Clara's head, and Clara didn't resist, letting Danheng pat her head.

"Clara, can you tell big sister how to take us to Swaro?"

Clara hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

“I’m sorry, Clara can’t take her older sister to see Mr. Schwarz. Mr. Schwarz has always been very concerned about his calculations, and in his calculations, what he’s doing now is the best way to preserve the lower district.”

Dan Heng smiled slightly after being rejected; this was within her expectations.

"Clara, your older sister is asking you, when did Schwarzschild's calculations begin?"

"Hmm... I heard it started a long time ago, when the upper and lower zones were isolated."

Did Schwarzroth include us in his calculations back then?

Dan Heng squatted down, keeping himself at the same level as Clara, and pointed to the group of people behind him.

"That silver-haired one over there is Bronya. Swallow probably never imagined that a Guardian would come to the Lower District today, especially since she is the future Grand Warden."

"And there are three other people with the older sister. The one with pink hair is March 7th. She's usually a bit silly." (March 7th: ?)

"That cold-looking older brother over there is Dan Heng, and the gray-haired one next to him is Qiong."

"We all came from outer space together, something Schwarzro certainly didn't expect, did he?"

Danheng introduced each of them to Clara one by one, and finally pointed to himself.

"Outer heavens? Does that mean other planets? Those are just stories made up by adults. Please don't treat Clara like a child."

Clara shook her head vigorously, looking completely disbelieving.

Upon hearing this, Xi'er spoke to Dan Heng.

"Quick, show us your... water spraying trick."

"?"

Dan Heng couldn't hold back any longer. What do you mean by spraying water? I'm not Vilette, you're going to set a bad example for the kids!

But facing Clara's curious big eyes, Danheng grasped Clara's slightly cold little hand, which had several wounds of varying depths.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Dan Heng's silver-gray eyes. This child is really stubborn.

Without saying another word, Dan Heng's fingers flashed with blue light. Then, he extended his slender white fingers and made a stroke on Clara's wound, instantly making the somewhat gruesome wound disappear.

"Wow, that's amazing! Is this magic?"

Clara's big eyes were filled with great confusion. She curiously poked the spot where the wound used to be, and to her surprise, it didn't hurt anymore.

"It really doesn't hurt anymore..."

Clara looked shocked, and her blank little face made Danheng unable to resist pinching it.

"Aaaaaah! I want Sister Danheng to pinch my cheeks too!" March 7th cried out in frustration from behind, her expression contorted with madness.

"Why are you, an adult, arguing with a child?" Dan Heng said speechlessly.

Ignoring the crazy March 7th, Danheng rubbed Clara's little head again.

Well, it feels really good.

"How amazing, could it really be true..."

Clara muttered to herself, paying no attention to the woman with the less-than-clean hands.

Everyone looked at Clara, waiting for her to continue.

"And look at us, our attire doesn't seem like that of people from your lower districts, does it?"

"I understand how you feel. You're afraid someone will get hurt, but you also want things to turn around in the lower districts, right?"

"Yes, I believe in them. At least for now, believing in them is the best option."

Seele and Bronya delivered another decisive blow, and Clara finally nodded in approval.

"Sister Seele, Sister Bronya..."

“Okay, I understand... I will take everyone to see Mr. Schwarz.”

March 7: "Really? That's great!"

Clara: "...Yes, Clara has figured it out."

"It would take Clara a very long time to change Mr. Schwarz's mind on her own. Even when Clara becomes an adult, it's not certain that it will work."

“While waiting, people will get sick, lose their homes, and fight constantly breaks out... just like in the mining area before.”

As she spoke, Clara glanced at Danheng.

I wish I could be as capable as my older sister...

“I don’t want things to turn out that way. If everyone is confident in persuading Mr. Schwarz, then Clara should also be a little brave.”

"However, could you have Clara repair the power supply core first?"

Hearing Clara agree, everyone exchanged smiles, and their mood naturally improved.

"Of course, we'll help you fix it."

"Thank you, big brother and big sister."

Clara's sweet smile melted everyone's hearts.

Throughout the journey, Clara seemed to like Danheng very much, holding his hand the whole time and glancing at him frequently.

"Clara? What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

Clara, feeling a little embarrassed after being exposed, lowered her head slightly.

"So... Clara wants to know how she can become as amazing as her older sister?"

Clara also wants to become that powerful so that she can protect more people from harm.

Although Clara dared not look Danheng directly in the eye, Danheng could see a firm conviction in her gaze.

In response to Clara's question, Danheng smiled and patted Clara's head.

"I see... Now eat and sleep well, and when you grow up you can ask Schwarz for advice, and you will naturally be that good."

"Then... can I hold that long thing like you, big sister?"

"A long thing... Haha, that's not wrong."

Danheng was amused by Clara's cute words. Was she referring to the Cloud-Striking Spear?

"Of course! If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"However... you need to eat well to grow, otherwise you won't even be able to lift a gun."

"Clara will try her best!"

The two figures, one tall and one short, walked towards the base, leaving the person behind them stroking their chin in thought.

"Hmm~ Why do I feel such a strong sense of déjà vu?"

"Can a hairstyle really change a person's temperament so much?"

March 7th looked at Danheng, who seemed to possess an inexplicable air of kindness, with puzzlement, and fell into deep thought.

"How about we get a new hairstyle sometime to make ourselves look smarter?"
