Chapter 639: Socializing With Benladra

[Day 247]

The next day, we spent some time in the morning preparing. Today I had decided to gather a few, not all, of my friends for Benladra to meet and know. I had decided to go easy today and show her the children, such as the kids we got from Benladann's town, who are all cute and gentle, Cassim, Ruby, and Shouta was also invited.

The other two kids I know from the Jade Snake Sect are not too close to our own kids, so I didn't invited them, I don't really care about them to be honest, so I am trying to show Benladra the kids that live in here for the most part. Shouta is an exception because he became a very good friend of Cassim and then the rest of his friends and comes here most of the time with his mother and Mikohime.

Benladra today wasn't as nervous as the other day now, Benladann carried her in her arms, as the tiny baby girl looked around cutely.

"You're calmer today." Said Benladann.

Benladra nodded adorably.

"Wewe?" she asked.

"We are going to meet some new friends. There are some kids that are near your age... Well, not that much, but they're also little." I said.

"Wite?" she asked.

"Yes, wite." I said.

"Are you excited about meeting new people, dear?" asked Benladann.

"Woo..." she said.

She seemed to have said "no" and was a bit nervous. A baby being nervous... This was definitely not normal; I think this could be something she carried from her previous life.

In the little years she lived, she probably experienced something very terrible that made her think this way, and it is my duty as her father to slowly help her get over that trauma so she can once more interact with other people and live a more fulfilling a happy life. I know it's gonna be hard, but it is what a father must do for their daughter, and I will do anything for my daughter.

"Anything!" I said.

"Eh? What?" asked Benladann curiously.

"Oh, nothing... N-Never mind..." I said.

"We are here now..." said Benladann.

She opened the door to the room as we were greeted by a group of many children, there were all the kids that we had in the castle- well, obviously not all, but the ones within our group we considered our adopted children and their friends.

The kids all looked at Benladra with surprise. We had remade this entire room, so it looked like a playground for children, with a fluffy and color carpet over the floor, toys everywhere, and other things, there were even candy and other sweet snacks such as fruit and small cakes.

Benladra, knowing how she is, immediately looked at the food first and then at the children, she looked at them for a big while as the children presented themselves one by one until the last one.

"Babbahh..." she said, looking at them worriedly while trying to hide from them by hugging and putting her face in Benladann's chest.

"Come on, dear, look at them, don't be shy." Said Benladann.

"She's very shy for being a baby, babies usually are quite... not so bright. So it is normal for them to not mind when things happen around her... I guess this comes with being overly sensitive." Said Ruby.

"Yeah, she's very sensitive..." I said.

"Hm, could be because she's a reincarnated person!" said Cassim.

"Well she got over it with the monsters so if she spends some time with us, she'll eventually smoother some more." said Samantha.

"We have to try hard so she can feel welcomed! Benladra, look at this trick!" said Flayr, the red-haired girl suddenly produced small fireballs out of her hands and began to throw them around in the air, catching them masterfully and giving Benladra a show.

"Oohhh..."

Benladra looked with surprise as Flayr began to make the fireballs dance around, her eyes shone brightly in surprise and awe over the situation, it was quite a pretty thing to look at, indeed.

"Do you like this?" I asked.

"Wooow! Wow!" she said, as she suddenly waved her hands and released sparks of light that came out like beautiful threads of light, dancing around, she began to scribble with them in the air, showing her magic to the kids.

"Amazing, that's light magic!"

"You never get to see it so beautifully."

"Benladra, your magic is unique!"

"I got dark magic it is the opposite, look!" said Noirenn, as she waved her hands and darkness emerged from her tiny hands, which also turned into threads of obscurity, that began to scribble in the air as well.

"Waaaaa! Woooww!" said Benladra, she liked seeing different colors of magic, it seemed.

Benladra was surprised by what she was seeing, the pretty colors really left her shocked and in awe, they were way too pretty, and I can totally understand how she might feel about them.

"Fufu, admire the magic of a Vampiress." Said Ruby, as she raised her right hand's index finger, which had a red and long nail, as blood suddenly emerged out of thin air and began to swim around the air, floating and coagulating into metallic, red-colored daggers, and then dancing around.

That was a bit dangerous, but Ruby was masterfully using blood magic, so she knew her stuff and made sure she kept a good distance from everyone else.

All the kids began to show Benladra their magic, especially Shouta, thanks to his bloodline, he had Moonlight Magic and even had already tamed an Earth Spirit that looked like it was made of gold.

Everyone showcased spectacular and colorful magic spells, making the little girl happy as she saw all the magic. After a while, she got more used to the kids as she ate the tasty sweets we left for them, and we left her alone with them at the end because she was having a nice time listening to them and looking at them use magic.

Our girl was finally socializing a bit, and we couldn't be happier...
