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

Chapter 604 - The Morning Of A Dragon Papa

-----

[Day 228]

Today in the morning, Benladra was still sleeping, so Benladann and I sneaked into the kitchen and decided to cook something delicious together, as we often used to do before this little girl began to devour all our time.

I wanted to use the power of Cooking Magic more efficiently and find ways to utilize it in more food, I want to make some sort of super-nutritional food for Benladra with it, that could have magical effects good for babies.

I know she's technically a pseudo immortal baby and that kind of makes her a demigod somehow, but I still believe good and nutritional food is good for her, just meat filled with grease won't do all the time!

"It has been a while since we cooked together, dear… I didn't knew that having a child would eat our time together so much despite always spending time together with Benladra." Sighed Benladann.

"Well we certainly didn't planned to have a kid… But even then, it is something I am willing to take care of… But yeah, it is nice to be with you in here, the two of us, cooking." I said.

"Hm~" she said, as she suddenly began to eat some berries while whipping them in cream.

"Huh? That was supposed to be for the pancakes. Don't eat it all…" I said.

"Heheh, it is just tasty to eat them alone…" said Benladann.

I smiled as I saw her face slightly covered in cream, I quickly cleansed it with my finger and licked the cream out of them.

"You're really like a child sometimes too…" I sighed.

Benladann sometimes is quite playful, so she reminds me of a child… even though I am fully aware she's not quite a child.

"I am not a child! I am just enjoying these berries…" she said.

"Okay~ put some of those in there, we'll make a milk shake." I said.

"Oh, I love those." Said Benladann, as she put the fruits inside a special item I had created through Crafting and my Ice, it had small and sharp blades inside, and through the infusion of mana into it, it began to spin, when it spun, it would triturate anything thrown inside.

It's pretty much a Earth's mixer that I made myself for this world using magic, I would call it more like a magic artifact than anything, I guess, it is pretty good, and I am quite proud of my wondrous creation.

I poured fresh white milk inside, a bit of sugar, and a few other fruits, and then added some whipped cream to the mix.

"That should do it…"

BBBBZZZZ!

The blades began to spin around, triturating everything inside and mixing it up really good with the milk, the sound was quite hideous, but it was still acceptable as long as we could get some nice milk shake.

Miranda had been left watching over Benladra, but she knew how to divide herself as of now, and brought a clone of herself in here.

"Ooh! You're making milk shake! Can I get some?" she asked.

"Eeeh? Look who's here! Aren't you taking care of the baby?" asked Benladann.

"I-I am! I can just divide myself like this! Can't you remember that?" asked Miranda.

"Oh, right! You can do that, my bad, I just forgot…" said Benladann.

The mixer was done and there was a delicious and fruity milk shake ready, I quickly poured it out into four glasses, and put some cookies I had baked yesterday on top of them, they were long and spiral-shaped.

"Here, have some." I said.

"Oh! Thanks!" said Miranda, as she began to enjoy the milk shake happily.

I had of course used magic on it! The power of Cooking Magic is quite almighty, it has the power to enhance the food I prepare, and grant special effects. There are also spells that can enhance flavor, and make everything even tastier, and there are also special effects that can grant temporary positive effects in those that eat the food.

For example, Miranda now was glowing brightly, a little bit.

"Oh? I feel stronger by just drinking this… What is this?" she asked.

"I added some strengthening effect to it, Mana Recovery is increased when drinking this milkshake, and Magic Power slightly increases as well." I said pridefully.

"W-What? You can do such a thing now?" asked Benladann in shock.

"So its not just flavor enhancement anymore?" asked Miranda.

"Hehe… Of course it is not just that anymore! The power of Cooking Magic is almighty! You shouldn't underestimate it, not even for a single second, or you'll heavily regret it…" I said.

"But it is just Cooking Magic, I never thought it could grant such special effects out of the blue, these are quite the big news, to be honest…" said Miranda.

"Yeah… Drake can you make some food that can strengthen the body? Or maybe let Benladra sleep more? Or go less to the bathroom?" asked Benladann.

"Dear I think those sound more like the effects of curses… You can't just force a baby to sleep more or pee and poop less…" I sighed.

"Ugh… Well yeah, I guess I was just giving it a shot, seeing if it could or not work! Don't mind it," said Benladann.

"Okay… Now that we are done here, the toasts, pancakes, and more is ready… Are the steaks for Benladra done?" I wondered.

"Yep, they're well grilled and ready to serve." Said Benladann.

"Good, then let's move to the room." I said.

"She just woke up, actually… She's asking for mama and papa, and seemingly angry at me… Ugh, why can't she love her auntie?" asked Miranda sadly.

I petted her head.

"You're a good aunt, Benladra will grow attached to you eventually, don't stop trying, but don't be too clingy of her either, she is too overly sensitive." I said.

"Drake… Okay, I will keep trying…" said Miranda.

We moved back to the room and greeted Benladra with a breakfast.

"Papa! Mama! Ababaah!"

Benladra raised her little arms in surprise and happiness as she finally saw us again.
