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

After lovingly kissing for a while, we finally decided to move on. I suppose we had a lot of caged-up feelings between the two, so we ended doing a lot of passionate… kissing. I guess.

We didn't do anything else though! And I believe that's good, it is better not to force the situation nor anything into each other. Moving our relationship naturally is the best way to do it, and the one that feels right.

Well, yeah, but we still went to the bathroom together.

Now… that we are boyfriends, it feels a bit different to bathe together. I guess it feels just as embarrassing as before but- Ah, I don't know how to explain it…

But in the end, Benladann-chan happy rubbed my back, and I did the same. Looking at her body now, I can't believe that such a gorgeous woman is now in a romantic relationship with me… It truly feels like a dream, especially for a neet loser like me.

"Phew, that was refreshing,"

Benladann and I quickly got our clothes as we walked downstairs, where we were greeted with a large number of people buzzing around.

A few kids were playing in the halls, not only our ice giant kids, but there were now little rabbit kin kids, and even ice elf kids, which were former slaves we rescued… Indeed, they were already selling them as slaves at the age of 5.

When we got down, two women greeted us, they were an Ice Elf, packed with muscles and scars, with long silvery-white hair made into a ponytail and a missing left hand, with pale-blue skin and beautiful sapphire-colored eyes, and a beautiful rabbit-kin beast-woman, her appearance was even smaller than the elf, almost the same size as Yuki if not a bit bigger. She had beautiful emerald eyes and fluffy white hair around her arms and legs, which were like those of a rabbit, she had two fluffy rabbit ears atop her hair, which was fluffy and white.

The two emanated the mana of Rank 1 Peak Stage, they were the two strongest slaves the Bandits had, which were caged in special cages with magic due to their power, they still lost against the bastard of Azahunn despite their strength. Although I am guessing that he also blackmailed them into giving up with the condition of saving the lives of the ones they captured…

I didn't know their names yet, and I had expected them to rest some more before the leaders of the slaves were to come to greet me, but I was wrong.

"Greetings…" I said.

"G-Good morning…" said Benladann.

The two women were staring at us with dead-serious glares.

And suddenly, both kneeled before us.

"Thank you for rescuing us, Lord Drake!"

"We own you our lives, no, we own you everything we have!"

"Eh? Please, calm down. We did it out of goodwill, not because we wanted you to become our servants… Also, wouldn't that be counterproductive, seeing that you were already being sold as slaves…?" I asked.

"Oh…"

The two women slowly stood up.

"I apologize for having misunderstood your intentions, lord Drake…" sighed the ice elf woman.

"Me too… I am just… so relieved we were rescued… This place... this floating castle is so beautiful, big, and comfortable for all of us. It has been ages since I slept so well…" sighed the rabbit-kin.

"Isn't it? It's such a nice place!" said Benladann.

"Well, I am glad you are enjoying your stay. Is it possible to know your names? It seems that you already know ours, did Draugann told them to you?" I asked.

"Ah! Yes, miss Draugann told us… And sorry, we apologize for not introducing ourselves…" sighed the ice elf woman.

"Me too, sorry…" sighed the rabbit-kin.

The two girls seemed quite charismatic and energetic, the two of them were rather young, the ice elf, who can live up to 500 years, was around 56 years, which was only but 10% of their maximum lifespan, so she was considered very young. And the rabbit-kin seem to be able to live up to 200 years, she was around 19, so she was also young.

The Ice Elf woman called herself the Leader of their group, which separated itself from their main caravan which was crossing the Ice Fields after a snowstorm hit the group, they ended being captured by bandits and sold around until they arrived here. Her name was Tisha Frost, and she seemed like a strong Warrior-type of girl, she said she was proficient with big blades and was proud of her muscles. She had Water Attribute Magic.

The Rabbit-kin woman was also like the leader of her pack. She and her pack were captured in a raid to their little village, and similarly to Tisha, they were sold around until they arrived here… It seems that beast-kin as small as Rabbit-kin are used as pet slaves by people with money… Her name was Pekora, and she was a proficient Life Attribute Mage, known as a Shaman in her tribe.

"We would like to stay here if possible… There are many in our groups that are still recovering from the exhaustion and mental damage… but we implore you to not mind this…" sighed Tisha.

"We'll work hard to pay for the meal and the rooms! W-We can go hunt or make you potions… I am pretty good at giving massages too!" said Pekora.

"Calm down, you two, I won't ask you to do anything for now. In fact, I want both of you to be with your people and help them out. If even, the only thing I would like you two to do is to manage your people, because it would be a headache for us…" I sighed.

"Oh, for sure!" said Tisha.

"But that's not really paying back…" sighed Pekora.

"For now, that's enough for us, we want you to relax. You had it rough back then, it is better to slowly settle down," I said.

"Yeah! I guess we should go meet the rest of their group though… And we also have to tell them about the Ice Golems and Snow Beasts," said Benladann.

"Oh right…"
