Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

A group of elves was a rather surprising sight to see in Heaven Port, especially because they were rather prideful and would never put themselves in such a contest as the cooking contest, where people battled for who made the tastiest food to sell. Basically the one that sold the most and made people the happiest would win… Elves were known for being prideful, peaceful, and that saw such things as… well, meaningless. However, this particular group of elves was not only cooking for the people here but smiling like dummies.

"Welcome! Welcome! Please, come and sit here! Only for today's festival, there's a twenty percent discount in all our foodstuff!" A charismatic blonde elf said, attracting the people near the small wooden stall named [The Verdant Leaf].

The people gathered around, quickly buying what they were cooking. This food wasn't really that of elves, but a strange food many people had not seen before. One of them was dough filled with sweet jam and fried with oil named doughnuts, there were other preparations such as pizza, and even fried fish with fries. They were all strangely familiar for Drake who narrowed his eyes as he saw the elves selling.

As the young elf man sold another batch of food with a charismatic smile in his face, the beautiful and gorgeous young elf girl behind him looked at him with an annoyed expression. Her near flawless beautiful face disrupted by her ever-growing rage and frustration…

The young elf man quickly noticed her growing rage, beginning to sweat a bit.

"(Damn, women are really scary…)" He sighed internally. "W-What's up, Alma? What with the long face? You're so beautiful that you shouldn't be making such a scary face-"

SMACK!

A knife hit the table right in front of him.

"Hermesss… Is this your damn idea for "lying low until we get more info from Root"?!" She asked angrily. "We are literally sitting in the middle of everything, you dumbass!"

Alma had grown a lot since she was a young elven princess. She had gone through her fair share of difficulties, which had made her personality be shaped rather… into a different direction. While her friends often kept calm demeanors, she was quick tempered and was always provoked by Hermes shenanigans. If it wasn't because his Unique Skill is so useful, she had thought about many times that she would had dumped him of the party…

"But it is, Alma! Have you never heard the saying: "The best place to hide is in plain sight"?" Asked Hermes. "It is obvious that as we hide and merge with this contest, the Vampires will have a hard time finding us. And if they ever do, it'll take them a long while to even do anything because we are literally in the middle of everything! Everyone is looking! They hate acting when people is looking."

"Are you sure its that reason and not because you just wanted money by selling easy to make food from Earth?" Asked Alma while narrowing her eyes at him, she crossed her arms and her developing chest giggled a bit. Hermes didn't had a choice but to look at that big pair for a split of a second before her hand reached his face.

SMACK!

"Why are you looking at my breasts again you pervert?!" She asked angrily.

"Ehhh?! I wasn't looking! And who gives you the right to just smack me in the face?!" Hermes asked while using healing magic over his reddened cheek. "(As if it were even possible to not look at those enormous melons!)"

"SIGH…." Alma sighed once more, closing her eyes, and trying to calm herself.

Her Mana flowed across her body, generating several waves that spread around, this was her [Mana Sense] Spell, allowing her the simple ability to sense things with her mana, something even a little child can learn, which is often later upgraded by stronger elemental versions of such a spell. However, Alma lacked any element, and her Mana seemed to have no end. Even small spells such as these become incredibly powerful.

She closed her eyes, sensing no abnormalities except… a new cook that had arrived. Although it seemed odd, it was as if he had more power, but was concealing it all. Alma's [Mana Sense] was incredible sharp, and could even sense when others hid their powers, although not tell her how much exactly they were hiding.

"This guy's strange…" She said, pointing at the Ice Giant man cooking. His beautiful wife was serving other people what seemed to be curry, and he had two adorable daughters sitting in front. Their cuteness drove many customers in. Not only him, but those two little girls also seemed strange, they were also hiding power.

"The newbie?" Wondered Hermes. "Is it my idea or is he serving curry? Woah, he's making Risotto?!" Asked Hermes. "Ah! Even Curry Buns?!"

Alma quickly swallowed saliva as she heard that. In her previous life, she was not fat for no reason, she loved eating food, especially delicious food. And her favorite was curry. Sadly, Hermes only knew how to make the simplest of junk food, so until now, she had yet to experience curry in this new world.

"Curry… it is really curry?" She wondered.

"Woah…" Hermes muttered.

"Hold on a second!" Suddenly, Alma realized something as weird. "If he has curry then…"

"Eh? Ah!" Hermes quickly realized.

Both quickly looked at the ice giant man happily cooking…

"He's from Earth too?! A reincarnated person here?!" Asked Hermes.

"Shit, this is dangerous, what if he gets abducted by Greenwood and the Vampires?!" Asked Alma.

"No, he's maybe doing the same as us… Probably he got everything figured out if he has lived this long and even has a big family with him too." Said Hermes.

"Hmmm… Still, let's keep an eye on him." Sighed Alma, looking at the two adorable Elven twins she had made her closest friends since she found them back then wandering around with their mother.

These twins were very special…
