The beautiful blue and crystalline river flowed freely as the fishes swam around, we also saw large brown and blue-colored crabs walking around, and we also saw several large river snails stuck to the rocks at the bottom.
The cute little Benladra's eyes shone brightly as she saw the river, the crystalline light of the river was reflected in her beautiful eyes, as she seemed fascinated by what was happening in front of her eyes.
She's such a pure and beautiful girl, I would do everything for my daughter…
I guess my story had turned from a survival RPG-like story into a dragon papa raising his little overpowered daughter… And I am completely fine with that.
"You look so happy, you like water, Benladra?" asked Benladann.
"Wawa!" said Benladra.
"I guess she does… Hm, how about we bathe in the river a bit? Maybe we can show her how it feels." I said.
"Oh… Alright then, but let's be careful." Said Benladann.
We quickly took out our robes and boots, as I folded my pants and we slowly walked into the river. The water was quite cold, but refreshing, I would feel the flow of the river go through my feet, it was a nice sensation.
This combined with the strong sunlight atop the skies, the sound of the birds that had begun to live in the trees of our garden, and the overall forest-like atmosphere really made it all look as if we were having some summer vacations here.
"Ah, this is indeed quite refreshing, I had never taken such a dip before, this feels so nice, oh dear…" said Benladann.
"Yeah, it is nice." I said, while carrying my cute Benladra with my arms above the river.
"Wawaaaa!" she said cutely, excited about touching it.
We quickly took out her socks and little shoes she had, and slowly dipped her over the river.
"Waaah!"
She suddenly was a bit startled, the water was indeed very cold and she was scared out of it, but she slowly calmed down as we lifted her up.
"You okay?" we asked.
"Wawa…" she said.
We slowly dipper her little toe into the water again, and then slowly the rest of her feet.
"How is it?" asked Benladann.
"Does it feels nice?" I asked.
"Nwice…" she said.
And then, we gently put the rest of her legs into the water, the river was small in this area, so the water didn't went above one meter, it was a shallow river.
However, she seemed to enjoy it and liked it very much, her little feet began to hit the water several times as if trying to get more water out, she liked the motion of water splattering around.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
"Wawa! Wawaaaaa!"
"Yeah, you really like water don't you?" asked Benladann while giggling.
"She's really happy about it, doesn't she? She's so cute…" I sighed.
Benladra began to hit the water with her tiny hands, making more water splatter around.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
And as we were swimming around, suddenly, I saw a large fish approaching, it looked like a tuna fish by how big it was, but it was scared of us and wanted to quickly run away from our presence.
But you're becoming my daughter's snack, buddy! Fish meat is very nutritious for children after all!
SPLAAASH!
Using my dragon tail as a spear, I caught the large tuna-like fish and quickly brought it up into the surface, it struggled to move but it quickly died out as I had pierced it quite nicely. Benladra and Benladann looked at the big fish with surprise.
"You just caught that one?" she asked.
"Yeah, how about we have it for dinner?" I wondered.
"Sounds nice to me but in that case, I also want to catch some… Ah, I will pick these crabs then…" said Benladann, she quickly used her dexterous hands to pick some crabs walking around, and threw them into the shores, they were slow so they would barely be able to go back to the river in time. Well, she also created a small mold creature to keep them caught.
"Crab and fish sounds nice for dinner, right, Benladra?" I wondered.
"Cwab!" said Benladra.
This river was made artificially by us, Fuyu came out with the idea, and by working in a way to put some artifacts that generated river water that we have crafted by fusing the magic technology with her body and some water-attribute spirit stones, everything was mostly done.
After that we simply added a lot of fishes and other animals from the rivers down there, especially from the dungeon in the winter lotus sect, which is filled with many beautiful river animals.
But how do they proliferate? Well, like in dungeons, monsters are super resilient and absorb mana from the environment through their mana cores, they also devour anything, and reproduce incredibly quickly as long as the conditions are laid out and good for them, so we simply did that, and they began to live in here rather well.
There are also many rivers that interconnect with one another all around the garden, with some large lakes as well, although those have different monsters. I think we have made a fine ecosystem, but I don't know if it will last forever like this or not.
"Wawa!"
Suddenly, Benladra's eyes shone brightly with powerful determination, motivation, and overwhelming strength, as her tiny dragon tail waved around like a deadly metallic whip, growing three times its original size and reaching the water.
SPLAAAASH!
"W-What is she doing?!" asked Benladann.
"Eh? What?" I asked in disbelief.
Both of her parents looked at Benladra as she dragged out a small fish with her tiny tail, having imitated her father's way of fishing, she did as I did and used her tail as an harpoon of sorts, catching a large fish with it!
Woah, so she can just do this, huh? Incredible.
"Amazing! You caught a fish!" I said.
"Oooh! Good girl! You imitated your father, didn't you? Well done, I will make sure to cook that one for you, dearie." Said Benladann.
"Wawaa! Fwish!" said Benladra happily looking at the fish she caught…
We spent the rest of the day fishing until we moved back home, we took a bath, relaxed, and then had dinner later on, a lot of river fish and crabs.
