Chapter 59: This Girl Is Quite Sharp! (2/2)
”Okay then… I know you do it for me… Thanks a lot, Drake. When the time comes, I will make sure to repay you,” she said.
”There is nothing you need to repay me for… Now sit in the bed and drink this herbal tea to start the morning… We also did you a nice amount of fruit puree…”
I quickly gave Benladann her breakfast for today, as she thanked me and began to dig in while I and Yuki ate fruit and raw rabbit and crows. We decided to not eat roasted meat in front of her as this would be way too cruel… Raw meat is different, she doesn't see it as appetizing, so it doesn't affect her.
After that, she got pretty talkative, and began to speak more and open up a bit more too.
”Drake, how are you so good at magic?” she asked.
”I have been practicing it a lot!” I said.
”Really? How long? Ah, you're a dragon… maybe thousands of years?” she asked rather innocently.
Thousands of years… No, I am not that old.
”Actually, it has been a bit over a month since I was reborn in this world as an Ice Dragon…” I said.
”A bit over a month… EH?! I was reincarnated here years ago…” said Benladann.
”I can clearly see that, ahaha…” I said while chuckling a bit, her body was indeed that of a young adult woman now.
”And in just a month… you became this good?” she asked.
”Well, I worked pretty hard… But it was a combination of a bunch of stuff…”
I don't really know if I should tell her more about my Cheat Abilities yet.
”Oh… Is it Abilities? Maybe you got some too as I did? Such as the… one that bought the Mold with me… And something named Charm…” said Benladann.
Ah, I guess she guessed it already.
Should I try to deny it?
”I don't know what you're talking about…” I said while averting my gaze.
”Aw, come on, you said something about… you having the power to see info, right? Then that means that's already some kind of Ability! …Right? Did you heard a mechanical voice when you died?” asked Benladann.
”With such a clever girl like you, I guess there's no point in hiding the obvious… And yes, I did hear it… the way I died is how I am what I am now, I simply used to be a loser before all of this,” I said.
”So you heard it, Drake… Wait, why a loser?” she asked.
”You don't want to know that…” sighed.
”No… tell me… I am going to also tell you a bit of my past if you do… I want to… open up to you so we can trust more… I want to… stay at your side…” said Benladann.
EH? What kind of tender words are those?!
You're… like, total melting my cold heart!
Okay, calm down…
Should I… tell her?
Ugh, cliché incoming… Never make the main character tell their secrets of their previous life to anyone! Make the most interesting thing about them never known to anyone!
Sigh…
