Chapter 338: Introducing Miranda To Everyone Else

Chapter 338: Introducing Miranda To Everyone Else

-----
"That's right, Belle is your responsibility, Miranda. You decided to accept her as an ally and we honestly are not into babysitting her that much, but we'll come with you from time to time to meet her. She's a strong ally but we have to think of ways to use her powers first. For now, we'll save her for emergencies." I said.
"Indeed! It is very convenient that you took into a humanoid shape for her, Miranda! You're such a considerate little girl! You're the best!" said Benladann.
"W-What…! I didn't know it was because of that! I-I thought it was because you wanted me to be part of the family!" sighed Miranda.
"Well, that too. It is not just out of that interest. Don't get too worked over it." I sighed, petting her gently in the back.
She looked at me rather angrily, but she was also flushing like a tomato.
"Indeed! I love it already! You will stay like this always, right? So we can always be in physical form together like real sisters. And you can meet the world with us." Said Benladann.
"I-I guess…" said Miranda.
"I also have a few experiments I want to do using Alchemy and other things with you. Do you want to help me out? I want to see the properties of mold and how you can replicate other objects, maybe you could create completely new types of materials by shaping them into different forms… I've been thinking about a way to strengthen Benladann's magic, one way to do it could be by using your Mold Materials into alchemy and make powerful potions or something like that." I said.
"Mold Materials? W-Well, maybe we can try something with it, fine…. But not today!" said Miranda.
"Sure, sure, no rush," I said.
"Another thing we discussed earlier is if you could get a Mana Core! What do you think? You think you could make your own or we should craft you one for you?" asked Benladann.
"I don't know if that would work, I am Familiar, my cultivation and Mana reserves are shared with my Summoner, meaning you, Benladann. So if I try to get my own Mana Core, it would mean I would be forced to separate myself from you and become a completely independent creature… And I don't want to lose our connection…" sighed Miranda.
"Oh, dear… Don't worry, we won't try it then!" said Benladann, hugging Miranda.
"I didn't know that could happen, are you sure?" I wondered.
"Yeah. Although I am also part of Benladann's soul, my power is manifested through her Mana Core and so is this body, as realistic as it is, it is still a Familiar body materialized out of magic. It will break down if I suddenly try to get my own Mana Core, as I would replace my Mana Power from hers, and the connection would be lost. Perhaps this could even force our souls to divide and fragment in two, and I don't think Benladann… nor I could take such a big wound." Said Miranda.
"Hmm, you're right. We might have to try something else to strengthen you then, as you can't eat Mana Cores to grow stronger, right?" I wondered.
"I don't think I can but- Perhaps those Mold Potions you had in mind could work, crafting them to strengthen her Mold Mana Core can also make me stronger! And I could also eat Souls, maybe." Said Miranda.
"Hmm… We might have to look up into it later. For now, let's go meet the other people. You can't stay with just both of us. There's a big community of people here, you know?" I asked.
"M-Meet people?!" asked Miranda.
"Well yeah, you have to meet people, Miranda-chan! So everyone can see how much of a cutie you are! You'll meet my parents, and the kids, and Ruby and Rakasha, and Tisha and Pekora, and then…!"
Benladann began to speak all about the people here as she held Miranda in her arms like a baby and carried her outside our room, we moved downstairs and greeted most of the people there, while we also made a meeting with everyone else by calling them into this reunion.
There was no need to show her to everyone, but a large number of people could work, mostly our closest acquaintances. Of course, we couldn't introduce her as "Benladann's mold that ruined her life" or something, so we had to be softer and come out with little lies merged with truths.
"So this is Benladann's little sister. She was within her soul all this time powering up her mold magic until we managed to summon her as a Mold Familiar. You all know about Benladann's magic, right?" I asked.
"Oh yeah… so this girl was within her soul?" wondered Draugann, the old grandma looked at the little Miranda as she suddenly felt a strong dark aura from her, and her eyes opened wide for a second. She sweated a bit.
"S-She has a strong presence…" said Draugann.
"Nice to meet you! Wanna play together later?" asked Flayr.
"Let's be friends…" said Noirenn.
"It is nice to meet you, Miranda. My name is Ruby, an enchanting Vampire Princess. I'll give you the privilege of talking to me casually." Said Ruby with a smile.
"Uhu… N-Nice to meet all of you…" she muttered, as she hid behind Benladann. She was very shy.
"Benladann's sister… from her previous life?" asked Benladann's father.
"I see… Well, hello there. We'll receive you as one of our children without any issues, dear. So don't be shy can come to greet us." Said Benladann's mother.
"Uwah…"
Miranda was acting very shyly, which was wrong! She had to get some more spirit and just talk to people.
At this point, we had already revealed we were reincarnated to our closest allies as it was pretty obvious when they knew Greenwood wanted to find us due to our Unique Skills, so there was no point hiding that fact.
Many ended believing the thing about Miranda, so it was a success.
We mostly spent the entire day with her speaking with everyone and slowly breaking the ice.
