Chapter 339: A Loophole?
[Day 173]
Yesterday was a busy day, Miranda had to greet a lot of people and ended slowly breaking the ice of her shy nature and became less embarrassed. After that, we enjoyed some meals throughout the day, and I brought her on a small trip around the skies with Benladann.
She indeed had a good day, I could clearly tell on her happy expression on her face, she had looked over the beauty of the skies and everything beneath it, the wonderfulness of this world which she cannot properly experience within the eyes of Benladann.
Experiencing the world with her own body had indeed worked wonderfully for her, and she was slowly shaping herself to be a better girl.
This morning I knew it was already the next day, but I wasn't actually woken up, as I was inside the landscape of dreams of Belle, alongside Benladann and Miranda.
She had gotten pretty happy and even cried a few tears when we came back as we promised her, and this time I was able to bring her a lot of snacks. Through my "Dream Item Transfer" spell, I could bring physical objects to the dream world and let her eat food for the first time ever.
She had felt so grateful that she began to cry while eating several bowls of rice, drank milk, tea, and ate all sorts of fruits and candies made out of sugar cane.
She was so happy she waved her tail around while eating everything and felt satisfied for the first time since she was created, a feeling she had never truly experienced.
She had even ended with a big belly base din how much she ate. I don't know if she can even digest the food, but let's hope that she can.
"Uwah! Drake! Benladann! Miranda! I love you three already! Marry me, okay?" she asked desperately, as she jumped over us and began to lick us like an actually excited fox would do while waving her tail. She licked my face, and I couldn't really move her away because I pitied her a bit.
However, when she tried to outright kiss my face is when Benladann suddenly stopped her as her eyes glowed rather eerily. She was a bit jealous and possessive of me... not like I mind. I am fairly sure I am not a harem protagonist to feel any necessity to be with anyone else than her anyway, so she's doing me a favor by cutting down any possibilities with girls I would reject anyways.
"M-Marry?! Don't say weird jokes..." sighed Miranda, as she gave her a little smack in the head.
"Awuh...! Sorry..." she sighed, as her tail stopped waving around.
"Hahah... You're indeed such a comedian! But Belle-chan, Drake is MY husband... got it? So don't ever say such... cute little joke again!" said Benladann. The aura of her chaotic soul intimidated even the Dream Clone of a Rank 10 Venerable.
"Okay, okay, sorry, don't hate me!" cried Belle, as she kneeled and asked for forgiveness.
"Eh, don't worry, just don't kneel... like that. It feels wrong to me. Come on, get up. Let's be friends like you wanted... Wait, did you just eat everything?" I asked.
"Yeah, it was yummy! I am eternally grateful for your offering, Drake..." said Belle, as she blushed cutely.
"Don't worry about it... Now, we should get going back home, for now, we'll come back tonight." I said.
"EEEH? So soon!" she said.
"We stayed here for around ten hours..." I sighed.
"Yeah, just wait a few more hours and we'll be back." Said Miranda.
"Alright then... Take care! I-If you need help, I can do some things, I think... Though I really need you to introduce me to more of what's going on outside... Oh, I got a perfect Idea!" said Belle.
"Idea?!" I asked.
Belle suddenly ran towards me and jumped over me.
"Uagh!"
"Belle...! What did I say?!" roared Benladann.
I could feel the fox girl's legs tightly wrapped around my hips as she tightly pressed her crotch into my own... this was indeed lewd! G-get off me you vixen!
"W-Wait! I am not doing anything lewd! Here... This is my idea, let's make a contract!" she said.
"Con... tract?" I asked.
"I just discovered this now, but you seem fitting for one! You see. My existence could be said to be like that of an artificial Dream Spirit. Because I am just made of Dream-type mana, like any spirit which is made of their own attribute mana, it means I am technically a spirit of my own! And you have a Dream Mana Core, and we have already developed a bond... S-So... H-How about I become your spirit?" she asked cutely, as her finger began to caress my chest coquettishly.
Here comes Benladann...
"Ugeh..."
Benladann's hand grabbed Belle's head and lifted her up. She was not playing games anymore.
"S-Sowy!" cried Belle, she was mischievous by nature.
"Did you had to climb up to him and even press your hips over his?!" asked Benladann.
"Hehe... Maybe not... but I had to catch him before he went away! Hopefully, you can understand... hehe..." she laughed rather devilishly.
"The only thing you'll understand is the good beating I am going to give you..." said Benladann.
"Haha...! C-Come one, we are friends! I-I am sorry! Buuaaahhh...!" cried Belle, as she was thrown into the ground with immense force, leaving a crater behind.
BOOOMMM!!!
"B-Benladann! Did you had to be so extreme?!" asked Miranda.
"That's my Benladann for you," I said while nodding and crossing my arms.
After series of apologies from Belle, she ended finally explaining to us what the heck she meant by contract, and then I realized it was the same thing Pekora had explained to us before as well, it was possible for strong Magus to make contracts with Spirits if they had the affinity, or a Spirit wanted to! This way, you could use the aid of a Spirit in battle and materialize them from their Spiritual Plane where they stayed using your magic and body as the vessel of their power.
This is a good loophole to bring her outside, I guess.
