When Benladann woke up she found herself surrounded by Ice Furniture.

What can I do? I was bored, and I found the perfect way to pass time, creating stuff with super-hard ice.

I didn't know I was so talented at shapes, but I guess when you grasp the knife, you grasp everything else!

Or maybe it is just a mere combination of all my Skills put together, which had made me great at making up shapes through the manipulation of Mana.

I suppose the days of having difficulties learning how to use magic are in the past, look at me!

Well, not really, I don't think I can get past a certain wall of progress magic-wise, I would need to keep getting higher Ranks of Mana Core to unlock stronger and more ”imaginative” spells.

Nonetheless, what I got now is more than enough.

I also pretty much didn't sleep at all because I was making this stuff up, while also cultivating mana passively with Yuki sleeping at my side, she is getting closer to Peak Stage.

”Amazing… Drake did you made all of this yourself?! You're so good at ice magic… I am baffled…” said Benladann.

”Ah, this is just practice. I was just… playing around, nothing much,” I said.

”P-Playing around? I wonder what you can do if you get serious then…” said Benladann.

”Well, these things are nice and all but are just there, they won't help in battle or something…” I said.

”But even then... Eh? I am above ice? Mattress-shaped ice?!” asked Benladann, realizing the truth.

”Indeed, you're sleeping over there. It is made of ice, but it is barely cold to the touch, it is like dry and super-hardened ice,” I said.

”Oh… This is really amazing… T-Thank you so much, Drake…” said Benladann.

”Aw, come on, no need to thank me all the time… Anyways, how's your belly?” I asked.

”I am feeling quite fine… I think I- Ugh…” muttered Benladann.

”Eh? What's going on? Are you okay?” I asked. No way, I hope it didn't come back!

”I am fine…! I-I just need to go to the bathroom for a few minutes… Oof…” cried Benladann, getting up and rushing out of the cave, getting into the woods, and… well, going to do the deed.

I suppose the herbal tea and the milk cleansed her belly and let her intestines finally digest things properly, so she went to the bathroom.

Anyways, after around ten minutes, Benladann came back, feeling incredibly light and even refreshed, she was sighing in relief a lot.

”Phew… I feel so good now… Like… I released a lot of tension…” she said.

Well, you really did release more than that, but anyways…

”Even though you might feel better now, you're still going to keep drinking the tea and eating fruit pulp and milk, no meat for at least three more days,” I said.

”Eeh? N-No meat…?” she asked, giving me puppy eyes.

Oh god, she is very good at this… Those golden beady eyes are rather beautiful.

But you're not fooling me!

”No!” I said.

Benladann sighed again, but then she smiled back at me.
