I had been using Spirit Creation for a variety of things, but one of the most important was to make delicious food with them. And I had come out with several new and unique spirits of my own creation made and shaped into cooking utensils, I had even designed one in the shape of a modern oven from Earth, and other useful tools, although overly complicated mechanics cannot be given to a spirit, so I couldn't make something like an Air Fryer, but I was able to make a freezer and other things. Recreating food is not impossible either, but it cannot be too complex or big, and the food from the spirits can indeed be eaten, it gives little nutrition but it recovers Mana rapidly.
Like this, we spent the entire day leisurely attending our farm while also helping Benladra practice her magic. Kate also had her own magic, at least ice magic and no-attribute magic, which she had been using only sometimes. I have yet to help her practice [Matter Manipulation] but it is something I plan to do in the coming days.
…
After a tiring day, I went to quickly sleep in bed with Benladann, while both of our daughters were sleeping soundly, we began to talk about the things that had happened these last days. Although it felt like two months, it was only two weeks in the outside world, this time dilation is convenient and has given us a lot of time to breathe and settle our thoughts rather well.
"It really felt like a long break…" Sighed Benladann."And it has only been two weeks outside, we are living a big vacation in here. Preparing for what's to come…" I sighed.
"Hm…" Benladann rubbed her face over my shoulder, as she hugged me in bed while we were covered in puffy blankets. "I wish it could be like this forever."
"…I will make it so we can be like this forever, don't worry." I said with a smile, as Benladann noticed something.
"You're filled with confidence now… You've changed once more…" She said.
"Eh? Ah! Did I get a bit too cocky?" I sighed.
"No, no, it is alright… You've earned the right to act like that after all we have gone through…" Said Benladann while smiling adorably.
"Maybe after I've learned so much, I feel like there's a way now… Perhaps I feel there's hope." I sighed. "I will do everything I can to protect you and the girls…""Likewise! I am not going to lag behind, you know?" Sighed Benladann. "I will stay at your side."
"You're growing very strong rather rapidly, I am sure you'll simply get stronger over time." I said with a smile.
"Well, Miranda is helping tons too, she's growing stronger with me, we are both growing stronger in fact… But she's shy in these hours, she doesn't like disturbing our conversations." Sighed Benladann, attempting to bring her out but she didn't seemed to want to.
"I see. She's a very considerate girl. She's also an important part of our family of course. She's like the aunt of the two girls, probably a second mother." I laughed.
"She got even shyer now, fufu." Benladann giggled.
POOF!
Suddenly, Miranda was summoned right in between the two of us, it seems Benladann managed to bring her out. Miranda seems capable of resisting her summoning, but if she lowers her guard, it becomes easier.
"Uwah! Why did you summoned me in the middle of you two?!" Asked Miranda.
"Well you should sleep with us from time to time, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, we can cuddle you. You've gotten shyer with time, what's wrong?" Wondered Benladann.
"I-I just… I don't like to disturb you… You two are a lovely pair, I feel like I always get in the middle… just like right now! Just unsummon me already, Benladann!" Miranda cried, she looked adorable.
"Don't be in such a hurry." I said. "This is a good time to tell you that I am quite thankful to have you with us as well, Miranda."
"E-Eh?!"
"Yeah, without you I wouldn't be able to be so strong, with your help we have gone through a lot of problems, and I've survived too." Said Benladann.
"T-That's… It is nothing, I don't even help that much…"
"You do. Actually you've been helping all the time since the divine realm was created, haven't you?" I asked to Miranda.
"I-I've been simply working around and doing what I can…"
Miranda is always helping others. She has amazing shapeshifting abilities so she uses them to their fullest potential by helping anybody with anything they need. She even has learned how to craft, do alchemy, cook, and more, and is constantly assisting others. Thanks to her special physiology, she is almost restless.
"You're pretty amazing, without a doubt." I said.
"S-Stop praising me so much…" Sighed Miranda. "You two are… are incredible too… Without you, I don't know what I would even be… Without both of you… I don't know what I would be, or who I am right now… It is all thanks to you."
"Miranda…" Benladann felt moved by her words, I did as well.
"Y-You two really like to act all corny!" Sighed Miranda. "Did you bring me here to just say that?!"
"Well, it is nice to embrace someone I love." I said with a few simple words, hugging Miranda.
"Yeah~ You're a good girl, good girl~" Benladann said, petting Miranda, as I did the same.
"Good girl." I said.
"S-Stop doing this…!" Miranda was red as a tomato, as she continued to grow more embarrassed. I felt like with Benladann we were enjoying spoiling her all while teasing her some more. At the end, we slept silently and peacefully while cuddling together. This is indeed very corny for a dragon such as myself, but before a dragon, I am a man that loves his family.
As I slept, I delved into my own dreams and entered the Venerable's Divine Dream Realm.
