[Day 40]

The sky above seemed to have cleared up, the snowstorm had fully stopped now, and the sky had turned clear blue. The sun was shining brightly above us, and there was a small amount of heat produced by it.

But… it was still cold for normal beings. Well, good thing we are all Ice-related living beings, so we don't care about the cold.

But anyone that wasn't an Ice Giant or an Ice Monster like me would have a hard time in here, they would most likely freeze to death after the first night unless they got a lot of fur and clothes.

Talking about clothes, today Benladann began to sew herself a new dress made up of wolf and rabbit leather.

Yeah, she even knew how to sew! And it was very easy to make her an ice needle that could get through the hard leather… The problem was getting thread.

And what would you know? When I tried to make a thread out of my ice, it worked.

I made a thin, flexible, and incredibly resilient ice thread! It is made of even smaller thin threads of ice connected and entangled together… I would have never been able to do this because a single comb cost like 2000 Mana and a ton of concentration, but Benladann helped me by extending it as I produced it out of thin air.

We tested it for a bit, and it showed to be able to resist a lot, her entire weight! And it would perhaps resist even more than that.

And now she was making herself an improvised dress with it because the one she was wearing was her previous one that was all tattered and torn apart… And because she used it when she was a little girl, it didn't fit her as well and felt uncomfortable with it.

"What do you think, Drake?" she asked, as she showed me the dress, it wasn't particularly beautiful or anything, but it was enough for her to cover herself quite well, the fur of wolves was soft and resistant, and made her fur dress look blue-colored, with white stripes.

She also was beginning to make herself some improvised boots to cover her feet, which were always bare.

We are immune to cold, but her feet could still receive some damage if she steps on some hard rock or a root, so it is better if she gets some boots.

I made the surface of the boots that touch the ground with my super-hardened ice as well, and she used the ice threads too.

Wait, can't I make a whole set of clothes using ice thread?!

Agh, but it would be pretty cold.

Oh yeah, we are immune to cold…

Maybe? But Benladann still likes the warmth that fur can create, even if we are immune to cold, it feels comfortable to be warmed up for some strange reason.

As I saw her wear her new blue-furred dress, I nodded.

"It looks good on you. You're very pretty, Benladann. I believe anything would fit you," I said.

"Fweh?! D-Don't say such embarrassing things… But I am glad you like it…" said Benladann while blushing.

Ah, wait, I just tried to praise her… did it sound awkward? I thought that being more direct was a good thing…

"And these boots also will be fine I guess… But these clothes are only for now. I kind of want to wear normal clothes when we find some tribe or town… In my town people wore pretty standard clothes you would see in medieval settings, not just fur strapped around our bodies," said Benladann.

I see, so Giants are not really like they show them on Earth's fantasy stories here, they are actually just another civilization of people that don't wear leather and act like they are cavemen.

Well, that was a given seeing how Benladann is such a polite and gentle girl, her parents taught her well.

Yesterday after the hotpot, we trained magic for the rest of the day until the night.

It was very normal and basic training, I helped Benladann feel the Mana I infused into her, as she felt the rivers of mana around her body.

It made her feel weird because I had to firstly open her Mana Veins, something that every living being has to open first before using Magic, it seems that her Mana Veins were very rusty, and whenever she used magic she forced her mana out of her body very roughly, making her spend a lot without care.

Oh, and about Mana Veins, they're a concept I have just discovered, I never realized it on my own body because it seems that Monsters like me have our Mana Veins already activated since birth, but it seems that those days I spent becoming capable of using ice and wind were the days I also opened several Mana Veins.

The more Mana Veins you open inside your body, the more Mana "room" you have, so you can enhance your maximum Mana capacity through this method of cultivation too, although your Mana Core is also a storage for Mana, your body can also help on the storage of Mana.

The stronger your body becomes, the more Mana you can store inside and the more your physical body is enhanced, so I guess it is also kind of like Body Cultivation sprinkled into the mix.

But I only let Benladann cultivate through this simple method of slowly opening her Mana Veins, I didn't want to force anything else for the moment, as she was, as I said previously, quite rusty.

Now, after we had breakfast and she finished her clothes, we decided to do some physical training exercises.

"Alright girl! 100 Pushups, 100 Sit-ups, and 100 Squats! And after that, we'll run one kilometer!" I said.

"Eh? Y-You're… for real?" asked Benladann.

"Yes! The best way to recover your physical strength and make your body feel healthy for your Mana Veins to open easily is to exercise! You're a giant, the blood of Ymir is within your veins. I am sure that you can grow exponentially stronger if you train your physical strength!" I said.

"I… see…"

And so, Benladann started her physical training. Yeah, I wasn't going to let her slack off!
