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

-----

The moment I woke up, I knew it was time to summon Belle, but I kind of wanted to wait a little bit… Nonetheless, Benladann and Miranda woke up right away after a few seconds I did.

"Ah… good morning dearie."

Benladann greeted me with a sweet kiss on my lips, she was as cute as ever even more when she woke up. Her hair was a bit messy, but nothing some good shampoo couldn't do in the bathroom.

"You're looking as cute as ever," I said.

"C-Cute? I must look horrendous when I wake up." She sighed.

"Nah, you're always cute." I proclaimed..

Benladann smiled tenderly as she hugged me and kissed me again.

"And you also look handsome… I want to kiss you more…" she said.

"E-Eh? But Benladann, Miranda is right there…" I said.

"…"

Miranda was glaring at us with a tired expression. For a slight of a second, I could swear she was looking at us as if she were trying to say "why don't you include me in the lovey-dovey romance?" or something, but that must have been just my imagination.

"Ah! Miranda… when did you get here?!" asked Benladann.

"In the night… I-I sneaked here by accident… Erm… Yeah! By accident." She said.

"Oh yeah? I don't believe that crap!" I said.

"I didn't know she snuck around." Said Benladann.

"How so? You were hugging her just now!" I said.

"I-I thought it was a pillow or your last night! You know we always hug like that!" she said.

"I don't believe you a little bit, Benladann… You'll have to make up for it by kissing me." I said.

"Eh? That's easy though!" she said.

"I know, I am just joking around…. Maybe you just didn't get it." I said.

"Geez… I thought we were finally having our first nonsensical discussion that all married couples have." Laughed Benladann.

"I am not good at arguing, to be honest, so I don't think that would happen very often," I said.

I had to admit it, I was a passive man in terms of arguing with others unless it was dead or alive situations, I would mostly stay away from verbal conflicts, even with my wife. Or well, even more with my wife.

And to be honest, Benladann is not at all a "classic woman" like those in Earth I've seen guys always talk about, saying that they always argue nonsensical things and so on…

Benladann seems like a reasonable girl that is always quite devoted to me and is often just cute and spoiled by me. I think this could apply to most girls in this world, they're fairly different from Earth's societies because they face difficulties in the wilderness like anyone else, arguing however useless opinions usually don't matter here.

In this world, there isn't a massive worldwide society that brings everything you need for a living so you can only think about what to do to pass the time aside from working to buy the things you require to keep living…

Anyways, enough of that, let us continue with the topic at hand.

"W-Well, I guess that as long as we finish doing the deed, she can sneak after we clean," I said.

"The deed? Ugh, you two rabbits were doing it last night too?! W-Wait! Uagh, I rested over these bedsheets with… your vicious things?" asked Miranda.

"That must be dried by now, and you're the one that sneaked in here, to begin with!" I said.

"Ugh… fine, whatever… I'll go take a bath."

Miranda rushed back to the bathroom, as we went to another bathroom in the corridor with Benladann.

In there, we discussed what to do with Belle.

"I bet that whenever you summon her, she'll stick to you anywhere you go! I don't want that dearie!" said Benladann.

"You're right… But we gotta show her the place, you know? And all the people around here, she wants friends, and we can bring them to her. She's like Miranda in that sense. And well, she's also a summon so I can unsummon her if I want." I said.

"Oh… I guess it is fine then." Said Benladann.

"See? Not much of a problem." I said.

After the bathroom, we went to have breakfast and finally decided to summon Belle in front of everyone so she can introduce herself to all the crew right away, and not make awkward introductions afterward.

"Summon Familiar Spirit!"

FLASH!

A magic circle of pink color emerged in the floor before my eyes, as Belle emerged out of it as a flash of bright pink and white light, forming into a shape I didn't expect.

Instead of turning into a fox girl, she ended becoming a small (to ice giant's terms) one-meter-tall puffy and fluffy fox with pink and white fur, and bright aquamarine eyes. She had two cute bells wrapped around her neck too, and a pink ribbon atop her head.

"W-Wow! This is insane! D-Drake, did you just summoned… A powerful Mythical-Grade Spirit?!" asked Pekora.

"Huh? Do Spirits have grades?" I asked.

"Well, not when they're spirits, but when they become Familiars, the level of power they have is calculated by this Grade! My strongest familiars are Unique Grade at best, but you got a Mythical Grade one…" said Pekora.

Apparently, Familiars came in various Grades. From Normal, Rare, Unique, Special, Mythical, and Legendary.

Belle ended being a Mythical Spirit right away with her Familiar Summon form.

And she was a cute fox and not a fox girl! I guess this is fine, better for Benladann to not get jealous if she licks me. Maybe she decided to take this form knowing this? she's considerate.

"Uwah! I didn't want this form! W-Why am I fox?! Awooooo!"

Belle began to howl sorrowfully. I guess she didn't want to take a beast shape?

"It can even speak?!" asked Pekora.

"It is probably way more than Mythical, that thing is Legendary, Pekora!" said Tisha.

"Y-Yeah… Insane… where did you even get her?" asked Pekora.

"Hehe… From a dream!" I said.
