Chapter 154: You"re Important To Me
-----
So, after the dinner was ready, we enjoyed the dinner at a large table we had crafted beforehand, we had to make a lot for everyone, but this wasn"t enough for my big stomach, even in this form. Thankfully, Benladann always makes a lot of soup for me, and I also had a few other monsters roasting, which I ate while eating the hot pot. Some ate from them too, but they were way too many, so I ended eating most of them, naturally.
After things were done, the kids quickly went to bed after taking a warm bath, so we were left alone.
"Well… I should go back to my dragon form if you still want to sleep at my side," I said.
"Wait! C-Could you stay like that?" asked Benladann.
"I could… But are you sure?" I asked.
"…Yeah, I want to… hug you as we sleep… In this form, you"re softer," said Benladann, while getting redder.
Of course, I cannot resist such a request.
"Alright… We already took a bath, so we are ready to rest for now…" I said, as I moved the bedsheets and rested over the large bed, fitting for ice giants.
Benladann sat over it and slowly moved her feet beneath the sheets, accommodating her head over the pillow.
I realized that I was a bit taller than her, as she rested near my chest.
This is like a completely different experience in this form… With my hands and skin, I can clearly feel the warmth of her body. Even as Ice Giants, they are still mammals, and although they are immune to cold and resistant to ice, ice giants produce their own warmth, even more, if they consume calories, such as Benladann who had just finished eating.
Aaah… This is really something else…
…
Wait, why are we… even sleeping together as if we were a married couple!?
Isn"t this actually not right? People don"t do that with their friends… Right?
And this becomes even more awkward because we are both male and women.
I guess when I was a dragon, it felt like sleeping with her pet?
But now…
"Drake…"
Suddenly, Benladann speaks to me with a tender voice… she seems to have not fallen asleep yet.
"Yes?"
"…W-What do you think of me?" she asked.
"What… do I think of you?" I asked.
"Yeah… L-Like… W-What do you think? Y-You know…" she muttered.
"Well… I think you"re a lovely girl… And someone I consider family… you"re the first person I met here, so you"re important to me," I said.
Benladann"s yellow-gold eyes flashed with light as she heard me speak.
"L-Lovely girl? Important? Really? Am I… important to you?" she asked.
"Of course… I think this has been made clear several times already…" I said.
"I suppose… Erm… Well… Ah… Y-You"re also important to me, Drake!" she said. As she extended her arms and wrapped them around my torso.
Such a nice hug… Her arms are also incredibly strong… Oof, she got quite the muscles.
"I am glad…" I said.
She suddenly began to rub her face over my chest cutely.
"I never thought you would come in this form… I had… given up on everything you know? It was… very painful…" she sighed.
"Eh? What do you mean?" I asked.
"N-Nothing… It is just… stupid thoughts I had… Now that… y-you"re like this… It changes everything… It really changes… everything…" she said.
"It does?" I asked.
"Hm… Well, for now, let"s sleep… I don"t want to bother you anymore… I bet you"re tired," she said.
"Well… I am… I am a bit tired… But… No, yeah, you"re right, let"s sleep… Good night, Benladann," I said.
"Good night, Drake…"
We closed our eyes as we hugged each other, and we slept.
[Day 98]
Day 98 already… almost two more days so I can be 100 days old in this new world.
I still want to learn many things though… There is a lot I want to learn…
But for now, I must keep it up with whatever I got at my disposal.
And there"s a lot, honestly.
AH… I woke up in my ice giant form, of course…
It still feels a bit odd. I gotta get used to this shapeshifting body thing a bit more.
It"s hard, I know, but I will do everything I can to adapt well to it. However, it will take its time.
And while doing all of that, we slowly approach the big town where there is the famous Ice Moon Sect, a Dungeon, and a lot of people… There are many possibilities there, many new things I want to explore and see by myself, I honestly can"t wait to get there…
But today in the morning I found myself in quite the dilemma.
Benladann moves a lot while sleeping, and she was now squeezing my face over her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Ah yes, a cla.s.sic.
And her legs are locked over my waist… her thighs are incredibly muscular, so they are very strong and have a tight grip.
Oof.
I don"t know how I am even resisting… Ugh.
Good, let"s calm down.
"Uweheheh… Drake…"
And Benladann is dreaming… something.
What with that laugh?! And that… perverted smile! What is she even dreaming about?
And I call myself a degenerate for finding her attractive? Yet… what is she even dreaming about now?!
I decided to take a peek into her dreams through my phantom body by entering her soul"s subconscious.
What I found was… a garden of sorts? There was a table, where Benladann was sitting at my side… Both of us were wearing princess and prince clothes, while we enjoyed a tea party with sweets.
I looked like a typical prince charming from girl"s manga or anime… Even my eyes glowed with brightness.
"Ah… My princess, you look radiant as ever…" said my own version.
"Hehe… Drake… Do you really think so?" she asked cutely.
"Of course… Let"s enjoy a tea together…" said my version, he seemed to be a mysterious man.
Wait, isn"t this super cute and innocent?! I thought she was having a perverted dream.
This is actually cute…
