Plot
Intro Arc
At a young age, Jio Holst was given to Halley, a centerpede dragonfolk, to be raised by him by her father Yuri Holst. Yuri Holst is an elusive man who is known as the world greatest adventure and a killer of the dragon king. This made Jio wanted by the world due to her lineage. Hence why Yuri gave her to Halley.
Halley raised Jio in an island western coast of the Laniakea Kingdom, attempting to raise her has his own and trying to raise her to be different than her father, deciding to never tell her about who her father is. However, just like Yuri, Jio too fell in love with adventuring, in her more recent years she seems to be trying to get of the island she is living on trying to become an adventurer and sail the seas. However, Halley always seemed to get her before she could run away.
However, now we get to the start of the series. After being caught by Halley trying to escape the island. Afterwards she decided to go fishing on a rocky shore of the island. There we are introduced to a reoccurring book, Galaxias, the namesake for the series. It seems to be a fiction novel about adventure that Jio has had for a very long time. However, after having a quick glance at the book Jio fishes up a young boy with no name. After rescuing him from the sea she takes him to get some water, here he seems to be a bit older than her and incredibly taller than her. She lets him stay in her 'Secret Base' an abandoned lighthouse built by the government decades ago. It is full of a giant library filled with books, some more mature than others. This is where she realises her and the boy are very simmilair, both being infatuated by the world. The following day, Jiro talks to the boy about her dream of adventuring, in which he convinces her to go ask her father to let her leave. After giving the boy a lifebuoy he begins to set off in the ocean, not before Jiro gives him the name Neraid, the name of the protagonist from the book Galaxias.
After Neraid left Jio ran off to see her father and ask for his permission to leave. However when she does find her father he is bloodied and injured with spikes coming out of his chest and head. Meeting the man who had done this to her father, a government dragon knight known as Yerkes who informs her that Halley is not actually her father but instead Yuri Holst is. Making her wanted for treason. Yerkes being here to execute her. However, somehow Jio got a hand of a firearm. Aiming towards him Jiro shoots and barely misses him. However this gave Halley the time to get free and grab Jio, running away from him. Here Jio breaks down asking him if she is not her daughter. However she is not safe, Yerkes impaled Halley with multiple spikes making Hally throw Jio to the ground in an attempt to get her out of harms way. Landing on the ground she is given a concussion. However as Yerkes got towards Halley's face in an attempt to kill him, she pulled out her rifle and sent a shot towards him. However he built a wall using his ability to block the attack.
They both arrived at Haweira Town, where they met Polta and helped him make peace with the wagoners and merchants. The next day they discuss where to go, wanting to go to mountains, when Polta appeared with a new look, while talking to him they met William and his mother Susie, they told them about how the dragon knights were managed, challenging Neraid to a duel, Jio watched the duel worriedly, while Susie and William are arrested, she goes to eat a parfait. That night Polta transported them out of the city, taking advantage of Jio and Neraid to talk, when Neraid claims to be Yuri, telling them not to do anything, when Neraid returned to normal, Jio told him this and Neraid says that the mission will be dangerous, but they do not give up, saying that they must find companions.
Uballe Arc
The next day they arrived at the mountains, here she slips and is saved by Neraid, finding Reno, who tells them that he was a dragon knight, until he lost his position to Schmidt Zachmann, both decide to help him by going to Uballe, here they are greeted by a "girl" who tells them about the Cane Dragon, when the villagers threaten them, the "girl" disappears. Both were captured, worried Neraid tells him to escape, getting excited at the thought of the adventure, however Neraid simply breaks the bars, the villagers ask them not to flee when Bronze appears, Neraid easily defeating him.
Power & Abilities
Jio, being a human, seems to be rather weaker compared to a dragonfolk like Neraid. She is shown to go up against one person in a fight so far, being Yerkes a dragonknight. She however was not strong enough to fight toe to toe with him, having being injured and concussed yet she managed to be able to use a firearm. Showing that she has at least some level of knowledge of firearms and being able to use them.
