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

-----

"So how has it been? You girls had gone meet Ruby almost every single day." I said.

"Yeah! Ruby is nice. She's cute and she can do splashy splash with blood!" said Flayr.

"O-Oh, I see… She… She hasn't asked you to drink your blood, right?" I asked nervously.

"Eh? No?" asked Noirenn.

"Phew… Anyways, let's bring the whole crew. You kids, come with me!" I said, as all the kids were ready, we even planned to bring Suu, the 1-year-old baby that is usually taken care of by Draugann and the family of hunters.

"So what do you guys think of Ruby? How's she?" I asked.. I wanted to know how they grew attached to this little Vampire girl. After all, these kids were all like my adopted children, so I wanted to know how their bond with their little friends was.

They were all over my back alongside Benladann, as we flew down below.

"Ruby is gentle and cute. I've been doing some research with her blood attribute magic; it is not as simple as it seems! It has many capabilities of life attribute mana… She had taught me her own spells, which I repurposed into my life attribute too! I've learned a lot from her." Said the gentle healer, Samantha, who was 8 years old. She had beautiful emerald eyes.

"Oh, that's interesting."

It seems that Blood Attribute Magic shares several things with Life Attribute Magic, one of them is that Blood Magic can be used to heal wounds through the hastening of the natural recovery and the formation of a scar over open wounds.

It can also be used to clean wounds and even take out poisonous elements from the body, which can heal status ailments. It can also be specialized to enhance the speed of someone and all their reflexes and even strength by letting their blood flow incredibly fast around their bodies, but this consumes a lot of stamina in the target.

And there's even the ability to convert blood into metal by gathering the iron in the blood and make even a drop of her blood into a deadly needle.

There's also the spell to be able to change her blood's components and even make them rot, so each wound will carry deadly bacteria.

And more…

"She's nice. Though she gets angry when we don't obey her sometimes. She likes to order us around to play her games…" sighed Jonn. He's around 5 years of age. He was a calm and silent boy.

Apparently, Ruby is said to like to play games where the girls act as princesses and the boys as princes… and she likes to do pretend tea parties… I guess it is cute, but maybe she shouldn't do it with those unwilling.

"S-she's cute… I like it when she plays with us as prince and princess…" said Hansel while blushing. The timid boy seemed to harbor some romantic feelings for the little Vampiress, while Jonn doesn't like her games a bit.

At least Hansel likes to play these games, alright. Probably because he really likes her romantically. She's a cute girl I guess, it doesn't seem hard for a boy to fall for her.

"She's funny. She likes to make clothes using her blood, and then we wear it and pretend to be a family of Vampires!" said Bellaluna. The eldest of them all, she was 9 years of age and quite possibly the leader of the kids.

"Clothes using her blood?!" I asked.

"Yeah!"

Apparently, Ruby can use her own blood to shape it as metallic threads through the gathering of iron from it, and then, skillfully, she sews it into all sorts of clothes. Apparently, this is something her mother taught her to always have the ability to be in clothes…

Come to think about it, every time I met her, she was using a different and intricate dress. I suppose she sews them herself with blood… such a talented girl.

"She's like a spoiled little sister. I don't mind her but she's sometimes clingy. But the little girls like her more." Said Ellergest. He was the eldest boy at 8 years of age. He was kind of like Jonn, but more expressive in some things. He was very mature and ahead of his age in this term.

"I see. So only Hansel likes her!" said Benladann.

"E-Eh?! Nee-sama, d-don't say that! I don't like her…" said Hansel cutely.

"Fufu, you can't hide those feelings coming from your heart, Hansel, ~," said Benladann, as she patted the boy's silky hair.

"Do any of you boys have any interest in her? If so, you'll have to fight for her love." I said.

"No, I don't think I like her. I like Flayr." Said Jonn nonchalantly.

"Eh?!" muttered Flayr, getting red.

"Wow, I didn't expect that one, Jonn. I approve of your relationship." I said.

"Thanks, father." Said Jonn.

"Eh?! W-Wait… T-This is too sudden!" said Flayr.

"And she's too young for anything… actually, Jonn is even younger." Said Noirenn while pouting.

"You're right, better wait at least a few more years." Said Benladann.

In the end, none of the boys were particularly into Ruby except Hansel, who kept denying it but we all knew.

"I-I don't have any feelings like that!" he cried.

"Don't worry, we'll help you out, bro." said all the boys, petting his shoulders.

"I-It's not like she'll ever look at me differently… I am ugly and fatty, any of you guys are more handsome too… And it's obvious she likes Ellergest." Sighed Hansel.

"But I don't like her, you can keep her. And… don't say that of you, Hansel, you're a pretty hard worker." Said Ellergest, he was a big bro after all.

"Ellergest…"

His big bro gave him a thumbs up.

"You can do it. She likes charisma in a man, I think you can have it if you try." I said.

"Yeah, there's no point in not trying, right~? T-Though, you're kind of too young… Maybe in a few more years?" asked Benladann.

"Ah, we are here."

We arrived at the house of Rakasha after walking from the forest up there.
