Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 189: Talking With My Parents-in-Law

-----

After reviving them, we invited Benladann's parents to eat something with us. It was pretty late already so most of the people inside of Fuyu were sleeping. However, they were able to meet with Draugann, the old grandma couldn't believe her eyes as she saw them back to life.

"Benlah?! Laddann?! Y-You two… are back?!"

"Is it you, Draugann?" wondered Benladann's mother, whose name was Benlah.

"Y-Yeah, it's me!" cried Draugann, as she rushed to greet them.

"I am glad that you managed to survive… Drake and Benladann told us that some of the kids survived as well alongside you," said Laddann.

"Yeah, that's right… It was such… a tragedy… Hahh… B-But what's important is the present! How did you come back?!" asked Draugann.

"Well, I did it," I said.

"Eh? You can revive people now? Can't you revive the village?!" asked Draugann.

"That's… No, I can't. Benladann's parents were a special case. They stuck to her all this time, so I was able to wait until I could reconstruct their bodies and then insert their souls inside. The rest of the people… I saw all of their souls fade away, they seemed to have gone back to the transmigration cycle," I said.

"I-I see…" sighed Draugann.

"Yeah… Things are like that. I cannot do everything…" I said.

"Well, I am glad that they went in peace," said Draugann.

"Now, let's go eat something. Are you guys hungry?" asked Benladann.

"I sort of have some hunger… My stomach feels empty, but I don't feel it rumbling," said Laddann.

"Me too. But I would love something warm… And this place… is this your home?" wondered Benlah.

We ended giving them a small trip around the first floors of Fuyu, as I explained how I created her, and Fuyu herself presented to them as well, surprising them.

Well, what surprised them the most was seeing that we were several kilometers atop the skies, in fact, to hide from any strong being in the sect, we ended going above the clouds.

"T-This is crazier than I thought. Are you sure we are not dreaming all of this?" wondered Benlah.

"Nope, it's all real! Drake is really amazing!" said Benladann.

"You're like a god, son," said Laddann, growing admiration for me.

"A god? No, I am only Rank 3," I said.

"But what kind of normal person, even at Rank 3, would be able to do this?!" wondered Laddann.

"Haha, relax, it took a lot of time to do all of this, and we are still increasing the size. I always wanted a safe place to travel through the world, so I put the effort of building it out by using all the capabilities I could have," I said.

"It is certainly quite amazing," said Benlah.

"Well, you're a great man, thank you for finding our daughter and taking care of her for us… As she been quite a handful?" asked Laddann.

"More than once. But she's also cheerful and… well, she illuminates my day," I said.

"Aww… Sweetheart…"

Benladann rubbed her nose with mine as she kissed me briefly.

"I-It still hard to process to see my daughter all grown up and with a man… But at least it is with someone good like Drake," said Benlah.

"Yeah…" said Laddann.

"S-Sorry if it was abrupt, but it is better to say these things upfront to not create misunderstandings later…" I said.

"I suppose you're right," said Laddann.

"They're really quite a handful, these two had been together for almost half a year but they had not done anything! Just a few days ago they finally began a romantic relationship, they are way too shy!" said Draugann.

"Haha, not everyone can be so bold like you, Draugann," chuckled Laddann.

"Did you know that my mother once told me that when Draugann was younger, she was always getting a new boyfriend every week? They ended leaving her because she was too aggressive in bed," said Benlah.

"Gah…! How can you reveal such a thing?! And well, they were the cowards! Not many can handle this woman!" laughed Draugann.

"That was something I really didn't want to know! Hahaha!"

After the whole conversation, we prepared some herbal tea, and we served Benladann's parents with cheese, milk, bread, and grilled meat. Undead seem to be able to eat. Or at least them. Their digestive systems work properly too, although it might now be fueled by mana and magic. Good thing I applied a lot of modifications so they could get a lot of mana.

We enjoyed the night having a large and hearty dinner with Benladann's parents, and in an anecdote, I learned the origin of her name.

"Our names always came from half and half of our parents," said Benlah.

"Indeed. My parent's names were Lamuh and Dann, so I was named Laddan," said Laddan.

"And my parents' names were Benn and Lasenn, so I was named Benlah…" said Benlah.

"And therefore, when we were blessed with this precious gift, we named her Benladann," said Laddan.

"Yeah, that's the origin of my name!" said Benladann.

"I see. That's quite beautiful… I wish I could've met my parents here. But I was just born from an egg abandoned in the mountains, I don't know if I just appeared there somehow, or someone else laid me," I said.

"Hmm… Wait, what?!" asked Benlah.

"Egg? You came from an egg? Are you not an Ice Giant?!" asked Laddann.

"Haha… I guess I didn't introduce myself completely… Well, I am an Ice Dragon," I said, as I slowly shapeshifted into my Dragon Form, which went up to almost ten meters.

"G-Gahh… S-So big…!"

"A D-Dragon?!"

"Isn't he awesome? Most of the time he takes me in a ride across the skies, it is very fun to be with him!" said Benladann.

"And it is also very fun to be with you," I said, petting Benladann.

"T-This is certainly surprising…" said Benlah.

"A Dragon… Such a legendary creature… I guess it makes sense now why you're capable of doing so many incredible things," said Laddann.

"Well, there was a lot of hard work involved in it as well. Many times, I almost died because I was born as an awfully weak Dragon," I chuckled.
