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

Chapter 344: Trip To The Lake And... Swimsuit Episode?!

-----

[Day 175]

It was day 175 and today in the morning we arrived at a large lake in the way, so we decided to descend once more to have a picnic near the lake.

This particular lake was actually not frozen due to the temperatures beginning to slowly warm-up, and there were also a few patches of green grass here and there, alongside that, the morning sun was hitting the entire snow strongly and slowly melting it.

It felt as if it were slowly turning into summer all out of a sudden, something that actually doesn't happen in this world as there are no conventional stations on certain continents, summer for example doesn't happen in here, and it's always Winter and Autumn, but the closer you get to the North, the warmer things get.

And as you slowly advance through this breach, you realize that it feels as if summer or perhaps spring was coming here out of the sudden, something rather pretty to see and imagine, although it might only be the change of temperature that the faraway continent of Muspelheim brings here, which warms everything a lot even as being so far away.

This only makes me wonder how freaking hot it would be there, certainly, an ice dragon like me would feel discomfort in such a place…

But perhaps like a certain spider in a , maybe I should still try to conquer these fiery lands and see if I can acquire resistance to higher temperatures, I do have a high level of fire resistance, but ice dragons are still naturally weak to fire. It's only mitigating my weakness a bit.

I've tested my resistance against our only fire user, Flayr, and her flames at Rank 3 are already pretty hot to me, it makes me feel a bit overwhelmed as if I was about to melt into nothing… but I was able to take them on, maybe being an ice dragon also makes me inherently fear fire? I don't know.

"Uwah! Such a beautiful lake… and it is surrounded by grass too… Ah! Look, Drake! A flower!" said Benladann, as she grabbed a beautiful white flower from the ground and gifted it to me.

"Y-You're gifting me a flower?" I asked.

"Of course! You're as pretty as this one." She said with a cute smile.

"Benladann… You're flattering me too much! But I'll take this flower." I said, as I accepted my beloved wife's gift and took her flower, as I saved it in my pocket.

All the kids that came with us quickly began to spread all around, picking flowers everywhere as they saw their colors. I didn't really like how they picked them all because that might affect the next generation of these plants, but oh well, I didn't want to spoil them the fun.

I noticed the rascal of Hansel picking up a red flower and gifting it to Ruby.

"R-Ruby… take this…!" he said while blushing.

"Huh? Oh my, it's so pretty!" said Ruby, with a charming smile. I can understand why Hansel is so charmed with this cute vampire girl.

"I-It looks as pretty as the color of your eyes and… your hair," said Hansel.

Ruby blushed a little bit as she pretended to not.

"I-Is that so? T-Thank you." She said, grabbing the flower and smelling it. It probably had a sweet scent.

"Come with me to pick up more flowers, Hansel!" said Ruby, as she held the boy's hand tightly and led him with the rest of the kids. The boy obviously was blushing like a tomato.

"Love is a beautiful thing, huh?" wondered Draugann at our side, the old grandma had already begun to fish. Using a fish rod she threw it into the water and began to look for any fish that could emerge for us, but nothing much was coming. The fish were timid today, it seemed.

"No fish today! I think we had been for over an hour and nothing, what's going on?" wondered Rakasha.

"Well we are all monsters in here, probably our auras are scaring all the fish." Said Miranda.

"Well, can't we just jump into the water and have a bath instead?" wondered Benladann.

"Wait… you're right, it's warm now…"

And then an idea flashed through my mind as I imagined my beautiful Benladann in a wonderful swimsuit bathing in the crystalline waters of this lake! Ah… This is… a must-do!

"Okay! I will make some swimsuits for everyone!"

"Huh?!"

Of course, I decided to make some for everyone, simple shorts for the guys and all sorts of special swimsuits for the girls. I had used the power of my Ice Fabric Creation Skill and Sewing Skill to my limits as I sewed clothes in seconds by spending large quantities of mana, in a few minutes, around half an hour, I had done it!

"Benladann, wear this one!" I said. I gave Benladann a two-piece bikini that would look just perfect on her.

"Fweh? T-This is a bit… like… lewd?" she asked. I couldn't help but nod uncontrollably.

"Indeed. It is lewd, but that's the spirit of summer." I said.

"I don't get what you're talking about… but it seems everyone is going along with you so fine." She said as she shrugged and went to change her dress, putting on a two-piece bikini over an improvised changing room I made out of Icesmith in 10 seconds for both males and females.

"Ah… Wow, why does this one looks so tight… Ah… I feel like it is pressing on my chest a little bit." said Benladann.

"Hmm…! I see, these are suitable clothes for swimming, I get it now, so our normal clothes don't get wet." Said Tisha.

"I don't like showing so much skin, to be honest… But this is just for a day, and it's pretty." Said Pekora.

"W-Why my bikini is only a one-piece one? It looks like a Japanese high school girl one too!" said Miranda.

"It fits you," I said.

"Y-You're calling me a kid?!" cried Miranda.
