"Pwant… Enhancement…!"
Benladra tried her best, infusing the low tier spell with as little mana as possible. A ray of green light hit the underground seed and then, it quickly began to sprout, as branches grew and even leaves emerged… it was a beautiful young orange tree. It had yet to make fruit as it requires pollinators, but we have already introduced bees I captured and tamed from the jungles. The lizardmen often know where big beehives are as they can extract the sweet and rare honey.
Introducing bees was important, the thing is, these aren't conventional bees, I had tamed insect-type monsters called Wasp Bees, they are as big as rats and have sharp and venomous stingers. Lizardmen can easily defend themselves with their strong scales, which make them mostly immune to the bee's stinger. I had tamed them easily though, as a god, I can merely unleash a tiny bit of my aura and the bees almost died out of horror, after that, it was easy to tame them while they were in the floor paralyzed, and then I healed them back to normal, easy.
From time to time, these enormous bees fly around, they're actually harmless even in the wilderness, only fighting to protect the hive, but now that they got tamed by me, they're even more harmless and adorably nice.
Bbzzz…!
A Wasp Bee suddenly gained some sort of fascination with Benladra while we were boosting plants growth with her magic, and it suddenly sat down over her head.
"Bwee!" Benladra said happily, trying to grab it with her tiny hands, the bee, however, flew away quickly after, scared of her hands. "Oww…" Benladra sighed after that.
"Don't worry about them, they're shy by nature." Said Benladann.
"If you keep growing more and more plants, they'll be grateful to you so they'll have a lot of nectar to make their honey from, and they'll come to see you often." I said. "Maybe you could even tame your own!"
"Tame Bwee?" Benladra asked as her eyes shone bright gold, she was so excited over the idea of taming a bee that she couldn't help but wave her tiny tail around like a very happy puppy.
"Yes, you can tame one!" I said with a gentle smile.
"Awight!" Said Benladra, as she began to wander around the farm while using Plant Enhancement repeatedly, without turning any plant into a monster actually! The bees really did took notice, as many new young trees began to sprout one after the other, some even came with flowers ready to be pollinated.
"Bzzz…!"
"Buzz…"
"Bbbzzz…"
Suddenly, dozens of beautiful Wasp Bees with their golden and black colors began to fly around leisurely, seeing Benladra different. These monsters were way more intelligent than the normal bee animal (I don't even know if it even exists in this world at all), and were able to sense the flow of mana too, sensing Benladra's life mana, and seeing her as something similar to the life aura that healthy plants give off.
"Uwaaah…!"
Benladra smiled happily as she noticed several bees sitting over her body, a few over her head, three in her shoulders, and some were even inspecting her chest and her tail.
"They seem very curious about you! You're bringing them lots of new flowers, see?" Asked Benladann.
"Bwee! Bee!" Said Kate, stretching her tiny hand at the bees.
"Babah! Tame? Can tame bwee?" Asked Benladra, trying her hardest to ask me if I could teach her how to tame bees. I honestly don't know how I do it, it is part of the System's Skills I had, which simply fused into my body and soul as a natural power now, I can easily tame anything I subjugate. But is the same for Benladra? There's surely some taming spell out there, so I have to teach her that first. And furthermore, bees are hive monsters, they'll die off without a queen to obey and they're short lived, so they don't make the best pets, unless she makes a whole hive.
"They seem friendly enough, but without a queen to obey, even if you tame them, they'll die out quickly." I said. "For now, how about you let them be? Perhaps I can find you a female to start your own hive."
"Oway!" Said Benladra, quickly understanding that she had to aim even higher if she wanted her farm of wasp bees. With that said, she continued to use the Plant Enhancement spell over and over again with each plant seed, enhancing their growth amazingly. Each time the plants grew bigger and healthier, more Wasp Bees noticed, until we had a giant swarm everywhere… they really got happy and excited over new plants, and they're rather territorial at that. if they were not tamed, they'll probably be trying to chase us away from here.
"I guess it is time for some picnic, let's go now, you've done amazingly well, dear." Said Benladann, as I quickly lifted Benladra off the ground and carried her with my arms like a little sack of potatoes. She was actually lighter than a sack of potatoes though.
"Let's go eat something yummy while we leave the bees do their work, alright?" I asked.
"Oway papa!" Said Benladra happily. Each time she experienced new things, she would get all happy and adorable, her eyes would shine brightly and she would sometimes even stare silently at the new things, analyzing them and finding the beauty in each thing. Kate was slightly similar, but more on the silent and slightly shy side. Although she had recently gotten very clingy with Benladann and is always being carried by her…
While we sat down and put everything ready for a lunch, I decided to unleash the power of Spirit Creation and Cooking Magic together, as I made a small show for everyone to look while I prepared meat and other warm food.
"Spirit Creation: Cooking Pan Spirit!"
POOF!
"Spirit Creation: Cooking Utensil Spirits!"
POOF!
"Spirit Creation: Little Cooking Ember Spirit!"
POOF!
Several cooking utensils and floating embers specially designed to cook (as they can change their temperature willingly) emerged one after the other, each one had small little goofy faces, which always made an entertaining show for the kids.
