Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

-----

We decided to use the clinginess of these two girls desperate for some fraternal affection and guidance to get closer to them, so they can open up to us and trust us better.

"Flayr, Noirenn, you shouldn't have sneaked into our bed…" said Benladann with a gentle smile.

"B-But… we wanted to be with… big sis…" said Noirenn, cutely stuttering as she spoke.

"Dragon makes me feel protected…" said Flayr.

Aw…

A-Anyways! I have to also speak, I can't keep being in silence.

"So that's how it is… Well, the next time you want to sleep with us, you have to ask, alright?" I asked.

"R-Really, dragon?" asked Flayr.

"Yes… And my name is Drake," I said.

"D-Drake…" said Flayr, her fiery eyes seemed to have gotten very attached to me for some reason…

"T-Then… I-If we come and ask, w-will you let us sleep with you, b-big sis, Drake?" asked Noirenn, as Benladann caressed her silky and short black hair, which made her look a bit tomboyish.

"Of course, there isn't anything wrong with that, to be honest… If that makes you happy, I am fine by sleeping with you two," said Benladann.

Flayr and Noirenn glanced at each other as they smiled.

Wait, they smiled?!

We are progressing at a fast speed! Keep going like that, Benladann!

She's really good at being a motherly big sister…

Flayr and Noirenn then cuddled with us… They seemed to want to slack off in bed all day…

"However, for now, how about we go have breakfast, are you girls feeling hungry?" I asked.

"Oh… Yeah… I am a bit hungry…" said Flayr.

"Me too…" said Noirenn.

"Let's go meet with the other kids so we can all have a big breakfast together, alright?" asked Benladann.

"O-Okay…" said Noirenn.

"Alright…!" said Flayr, as she was the most energetic, jumping off the bed and landing perfectly over her barefoot.

"Oh? She's quite athletic… Flayr, did you ever practiced some kind of exercise?" I asked.

"Yeah! I used to… w-well… I… I used to run around a lot with my big brother… and mama… He also… ah… Sniff… I miss my big brother…"

Agh! I shouldn't have asked that!

"I see, I bet he was a nice guy! And I bet he wouldn't be happy to see you crying like that when you're about to have an amazing breakfast, so how about we go eat?" I asked, quickly standing up and grabbing Flayr with my claw, she sits right over my palm.

"O-Okay…!" said Flayr, as she stopped crying.

Benladann grabbed Noirenn and let her sat over her shoulder, as we walked downstairs.

"The third floor is finished by the by~," said Fuyu, rather nonchalantly.

"Oh, nice, let's begin moving stuff upstairs later on today then," I said.

"Third floor?" asked Flayr.

"Indeed, Drake has been working hard with the fortress so there can be a big room for all of you!" said Benladann.

"Ooh…! But I want to sleep with Drake…" said Flayr.

Aww…

"I see… Well, you will have to sleep there sometimes, okay?" I asked.

"O-Okay…" she said while nodding obediently… Ah, she was better than I thought! Flayr might be not as explosively emotional as I had originally believed.

Anyways, we quickly gathered with the other kids who were woken up by the grandma, and we began to cook some breakfast, mostly grilled and skewered meat, jelly, wolf milk, and boiled roots that seemed like potatoes.

I had begun to think about a way to make wolf milk cheese, but I and Benladann had honestly no idea how to make it. She did say that her tribe knew how to make it, but they used other milk from a cow-like monster.

But there were no cattle monsters in the tribe, as it was all ruined and they most likely ran away or were killed as well…

The kids were all eating the food like crazy, it seemed to be very tasty, the way we used the salt root to season the meat alongside dried herbs and all, the soup from yesterday was also used for this morning, and the warm wolf milk was refreshing and would nourish their still-growing bones with enough calcium.

"I can't believe how you were able to make all of this by yourselves in the wild… It has been days since I ate such a delicious, boiled root with salt! The sup is also refreshing, and the herb tea is right in the spot… Phew, I am satisfied, very good, very good…" said the grandma, as she rested in the seat for some time.

We also served a bit of slime jelly to all the kids, who grew fascinated with the sweetness of the treat. It was also a way to make them feel closer to us as they were falling in love with our food.

At some point, we ended chatting for some time with the grandma, while the kids enjoyed their jelly and spoke a bit between themselves.

"Hm… Wolf Milk Cheese? I had never thought about it. But it could be possible. I am rather good at cooking too! But I am way too lazy, haha…" laughed the grandma.

"Heeeh… Well, it would be nice if you could help us out! I really want to eat cheese again… And I am sure the kids would like it as well," said Benladann.

"Certainly, certainly! I will try my best to help you out, I own you a lot, after all, I have to just get these old bones and put them to some work!" said Draugann. She was an energetic grandma… well, not really… more like youthful? I guess…

"Also, I've noticed that Flayr and Noirenn had gotten attached to you… It is good, but don't spoil them too much, or the other kids will grow jealous… If you're going to spoil them, you better spoil all of them, or conflict between them might arise," said Draugann.

"Hm… I suppose you might be right, we can always do it gradually though," said Benladann.

"Yes, for now, I want all the kids to do some magic exercises," I said, as everyone suddenly stopped talking and glanced at me…

Eh?
