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

-----

[Day 231]

Today when I woke up, I found Benladra at my side, resting over Benladann's torso while drinking milk out of one of her breasts, all while my wife was still sleeping.

Did she just sneaked in while she was sleeping? She's quite mischievous. But she does look quite cute while drinking milk while closing her eyes…

And she's constantly squeezing the breast, probably to bring more milk? I've seen the pups of wolves do this as well, and also in my past life, little kittens also squeezed their mother's stomach.

It is probably some sort of reflex that all mammals have… And because Benladra is part ice dragon, who are clearly mammal, it does seems to work like that for her.

After yesterday's meeting, we had decided that we would move towards the Orange Forest Duchy, the closest to where we are right now. This Duchy actually has Orange Trees, it seems that in these warmer regions, more types of plants can develop, and oranges is one of them.

It will be nostalgic to drink orange juice after so long since my first life, that's for sure. It's going to be a nice trip…

…I hope.

I checked which hour it was today, and it was around 10 AM already, so I decided to stand out of bed and walk to the bathroom, quickly washing my face.

I moved to the kitchen after that, as I noticed a mass of black slime following me from behind.

POOF!

The black mold quickly took the form of Miranda.

"Good morning, are you always in that form when we are not looking?" I wondered.

Does Miranda always keeps that form when we are not looking? I've always wondered what does she do when she's alone. Does she just wanders around like a black slime? Or does she just stays in her humanoid form? But it seems that it is the former.

"Good morning… Yawn… Eh? No… Well, yeah… When I sleep, I end up relaxing so much that I end up turning into it." she said.

So that was it! She said that when she sleeps, she ends up turning like that… Does she has little control over her own body? Well, being primarily composed of mold, I can tell that it might be hard to contain it and keep it compact.

But Mold itself has the ability to shape into other things such as flesh-like structures, hair, nails, and even bones, but it seems that it is capable of also turning back to original black slimy substance if she doesn't keep concentrated into her form.

"Hm, I see. Well, you'll have to slowly learn how to keep your form compact, what if we invite you to sleep in the bed one of these days and you end up melting away into a black mass of mold? It wouldn't be any good." I said while waving my head.

I had thought about invite her to sleep at our side sometimes but if she's going to melt into a black substance then it would be weird to wake up to having that in front of our faces, even if we are immune to it, it would still be super weird.

"That doesn't make any sense to be honest! I will just keep my form by then… And you plan to invite me to sleep with you?!" asked Miranda.

She got angry over my words and seemed to be even pouting. I am sorry but this was a bit cute… However, I am not a cruel man to tease a girl out of fun.

Nonetheless, she seemed surprised about being invited to sleep, I don't understand why that's the case when it is just sleeping.

"Well yeah, what's wrong with sleeping?" I asked.

"Oh, you mean… R-Right…" she said while blushing a bit.

Wait, she blushed a bit? What is she even thinking? I sometimes wonder what is inside of this girls' mind, but was she thinking about weird stuff?

"Huh? D-Did you thought the other way around?" I sighed.

"N-Not at all! I didn't thought any other way around, I don't know what you're talking about!" she said rather shyly.

"Hmm… Huh…" I said while raising an eyebrow.

She had given me an expected response, she's indeed quite the tsundere sometimes, but that's also pretty cute. I wonder if she really thought lewd things? I remember she was the one that didn't wanted them but now she's thinking about them…

"Sigh… Sorry for not spending enough time with you. I guess I owned you an apology." I said.

"Eh? W-Why? Spending time with me?" asked Miranda.

"Well because of that kiss… and the feelings I got for you as well… Benladann also accepted you in our romantic trio but I've been too busy…" I sighed.

"Oh, no… It doesn't matter, you don't really have to think about that… I am having fun with you two living our daily lives. It is healing enough for me." She said.

"Is that so? Well… I guess. But still, I wonder if I should bring you to some date or something…" I said.

"Hm, with Benladra here, that's unlikely, I am happy with raising her with you two, don't force yourself, Drake… I do… I do like you…" said Miranda while blushing.

"Miranda…" I said.

She blushed a bit as she averted her gaze from me, and then, she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at me with a mildly angered expression.

"W-Well, not like it is anything too crazy or surprising! Right? You already know… no?" asked Miranda.

"I didn't really know, you kind of left everything ambiguous." I said.

"Ah… I-Is that so? I guess I shouldn't had been like that… I just felt a bit embarrassed… Actually a lot… Maybe I shouldn't had been like that…" she sighed.

"Okay calm down, don't worry about it…" I said, I petted her head and smiled back at her.

"You know what? I am pretty embarrassed now…" she said. "But I could do with some breakfast."

"Okay, let's go prepare something." I said. "How about Pancakes?"

"Sounds good!" she said.
