Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 337: Shes Your Responsability Now!

Chapter 337: She's Your Responsability Now!

-----

The nature of Miranda's body was truly interesting. She was made of Mold yet she was able to take the shape of a human body and even adjust her size around. Wasn't her more like a slime then? A slime girl? The mold itself doesn't even feel like the actual mold you find in stale bread or something, this thing is usually like black slime, sludge, or something like that.

Due to its strange nature, it is clear and easy to realize that it could change shapes to its liking, and even bring forth completely new shapes and appearances. But how is she even able to emulate skin, flesh, and even the soft and silky texture of hair so well? I pondered this question as I petted her head. Her hair was silky and I couldn't even tell that it was made of mold.

"Stop petting me…" sighed Miranda, as she was eating breakfast. A large sandwich with ham and cheese, alongside a warm cup of tea with creamy milk.

"Benladann is doing it too!" I said.

"Heheh… Miranda is a cutie." Said Benladann, as she caressed her head.

Miranda's head was warm too, something I wouldn't have expected, and petting a soft and warm little head is always a delight, every time Flayr and Noirenn come to cuddle and be spoiled by us, we make sure to caress them a lot.

"I am not a baby, stop treating me like one!" she said.

"But anyway, how can you make your mold body into such a thin and silky hair? and your skin also seems realistic. I don't know what trick is behind it." I said.

"I am a being made out of magic; I don't work as you would expect of a fleshy creature. The closest thing here that might seem a bit like me would be a slime, but even then, I am vastly superior in every way possible." Said Miranda.

"Hehe, Miranda is as arrogant as ever!" said Benladann.

"But what's behind it? I wonder if your hair stays as hair if I detach it." I said.

"You can try it; I don't feel pain in such things." She said as I decided to grab a thin piece of hair and take it out of her head.

The moment I did, the hair… continued being hair. it was a beautiful and long black thread of hair, the same color as Noirenn's beautiful deep black hair.

"Beautiful… But I still don't get it. It stays as hair… perhaps you have similar True Shapes.h.i.+fting Abilities such as me then." I a.n.a.lyzed.

"True shapes.h.i.+fting?" asked Benladann.

"What's that?" asked Miranda.

"Well, I've cataloged the ability to shapes.h.i.+ft into two categories. Soft Shapes.h.i.+fting and True Shapes.h.i.+fting. Soft Shapes.h.i.+fting is the ability to take the form and texture of something new, but not retaining it for real to a subatomic level, atoms won't change into these materials and it is only an illusion made very realistic, if a piece of hair was taken away from a Soft Shapes.h.i.+fter, it would turn in whatever they were originally… and True Shapes.h.i.+fting is changing one's shape to another thing or materials in a subatomic level, your atoms shape and mold into these materials, and they stay as true materials even when you detach them out of your body. This is something we share, your mold can become true hair, and most likely, the rest of your body, or at least the visible part of it, might be true flesh too." I said.

"W-Wow… that's amazing, Miranda! You're really talented! You're my best Familiar- Sister!" said Benladann.

"Not like you have any other Familiar, and I am all you need too… S-So you better not contract any Spirit to make it a familiar other than me!" said Miranda while crossing her arms pridefully. Her Tsundere vibes were very strong in this one, to the point that she gave me a bit of chill by just looking at her angrily, it was as if it was really one of those anime characters but made real.

"Anyways, now that you're done a.n.a.lyzing me, what should we do?" she wondered.

"What should we do? Well, we are most relaxing. We are traveling across the skies at a fast speed, we are reaching new territories and will most likely make a stop whenever we feel any new area that we could explore that includes powerful monsters to hunt and grow stronger…" I said.

"We recently saw in the horizon a new Sect, so we'll make a stop there to gather info, there is a large quant.i.ty of magic acc.u.mulated there, so there might be new Dungeons there to conquer." Said Benladann.

"Oh right, that annoying Dungeon Master stuff you two have going on around… I guess you want to conquer those dungeons if there's any?" asked Miranda.

"That's right! Sects always will gather around Dungeons because they're big gathering spots for food and materials for cultivation, without it, you could call most of the ma.s.sive continent here a deserting snow-covered area, at least all of this percentage of the continent. Though we traveled once down to the south, where we found there was greenery and the temperatures slowly receded more. Such place is far away and Fuyu moves slowly, so it might take days to reach there." I said.

"I see… So you got all it planned?" asked Miranda.

"We are also planning to get there because Pekora said that various tribes of Beast-kin make their home in these wild gra.s.slands and pine forests! She and her tribe originated from there but ended moving due to some kind of disaster involving… something of a monster, I don't remember well." Said Benladann.

"But after that, they got engulfed in a snowstorm and ended all the way in here, captured and enslaved afterward…" I said.

"Ooh… Beast-kin. Ugh, that reminds me of a certain fox-kin. What do we do with her?" wondered Miranda.

"What? You don't have an idea? You adopted her so you should know! She's your responsibility." I said.

"W-What?!"
