    Yes, Bedann and Miranda had mysterious and suspiciously disappeared because they went to prepare this surprise party to celebrate Bedra''s birthday, but we included Kate too anyways. For now we decided to celebrate both, because we thought Kate might feel a bit left out if we didn''t. Whenever her birthdayes, we''ll make yet another celebration if she wants to.


    Many of her friends showed up, the big family of orphaned Ice Giant children that we had rescued from Bedann''s vige some time ago were there, rushing towards her and hugging her. There was also Hector''s little daughter and even the ck cat-kin boy Cassim.


    "Happy birthday Bedra!" yr ran towards Bedra, caressing her head. When we first see her she was six years old, but she was now over ten, the red-haired fire-wielding ice giant girl had grown to be an even more energetic teenager than before. "Let''s make sure to eat a lot of meat! I roasted a lot of it with my fire!"


    "Yeah, happy birthday, you too Kate, happy… early birthday." Noirenn, a ck-haired ice giant girl said, with long and silky hair reaching her hips, she had around the same age as yr now, and the two girls were inseparable. Her affinity with darkness magic made her rather unique among ice giants. Unlike yr, she was calm and often silent, so the twoplemented each other.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "You two have grown so much! Especially you, Bedra! I can''t believe you''re five now!" Samantha giggled, petting Bedra. Her long silvery-white hair and her shiny emerald eyesbined with her motherly smile made her the big sister of everyone. And her Life Attribute Mana had already made her into a proficient healer, working as a medic between my allies. She was found at eight years of age, but she was now over fourteen.


    "Happy birthday… Bedra…" A shy boy muttered, blushing a little bit before my daughter''s cute smile. He was Jonn, a little white-haired and yellow-eyed young boy adopted with the rest, only nine years of age, he had changed surprisingly little, as he hadn''t grown as tall as the rest. He was still seen as the littlest of them all, aside from the babies.


    "Hehehe! Come on Jonn, don''t be so shy! There''s a lot to eat today too! Bedra, happy birthday! I helped on baking the pastries! I made donuts, and some cakes too! Kate too!" Laughed a slightly overweight ice giant boy with blonde hair and silver eyes. He was Hansel, slightly older than yr and Noirenn at 11 years of age. He had be a proficient baker due to his love for carbohydrate rich foods. His affinity of Earth was rather useful, as he often helped the city get into shape.


    "I''m so happy you''ve grown so strong and healthy. We''ve not grown as fast as you two, but I hope in some time, we can be Rank 8 and help more in battles toe. We are all working hard. And you too, for working so hard, deserve the best party ever." Beluna smiled with an even more gentler smile. While Samantha was considered a big sister, Beluna was an even bigger sister, if not something like a mother for the rest of the children, being over 15 years of age. She was and still is somewhat of a leader among this group of children.


    "Yeah, happy birthday kids." Ellergest crossed his arms and smiled, nodding. He was the oldest male, a rather tall and muscr boy kind of like Coral. He was one year younger than Beluna, and was quite talented at fighting, slowly getting ready to join the frontlines in the battles toe.


    "Happy! Happy birthdaaaay!" Little Suu celebrated, the smallest of the babies back then who was only a year old, was now a year older than Bedra, he had be slightly energetic, but overall, very cute and squishy. He had yet to develop magic, strangely enough.


    "Happy nyaday!" Cassim said, bringing his present like everyone did. The young ck cat-kin boy, which we adopted from a destroyed vige of beast people that got attacked by the Dark Shadow Sect long ago. He had a great affinity with darkness and lightning magic, but had dedicated himself to live a normal life as a farmer in the fields with the rest of the survivors, who made a big family of cat-kin people.


    "Thank you everyone!" Bedra giggled, very happy of how much she was being weed and celebrated by both family and friends alike. "Kate, you have to say thanks too!"


    "O-Oh, t-thanks…" Even the serious Kate couldn''t keep herposure, stuttering a bit and blushing as she was being overwhelmed with love.


    Everyone quickly felt like their hearts skipped a beat, the two girls were so cute and adorable that it hurt to see them!<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    "Well, let''s eat to our heart''s content now!" Bedann said, lifting her daughter. "What do you wanna eat? We''ll serve it to you first!"


    "I want… meat!" Bedra said, beginning to droll as she pointed at a huge Divine Beast in the shape of a Wild Boar, which had beenpletely roasted.


    "Oooh, that''s the one I cooked!" yr giggled. "Alright! Let''s eat that first! It is extra tasty!"


    "Nice! Let me cut it!" Hensel summoned a huge knife made of iron with his Earth Magic, ready to cut anything.


    "Hey fatty, calm down a bit! This is Bedra''s birthday!" Laughed Ellergest.


    "Who are you calling fatty? I am just huge!" Hensel said pridefully.


    "Okay, okay, no fighting between friends." Iughed, stepping in. "Kate,e help us cut it with your new weapon!"


    "Oooh, sure! Big sis happy birthday!" Kate used her sword to cut through a huge leg of the roasted wild pig and served it to Bedra in a giant wooden te.


    "Thank you sis! I love you!" Bedra gave Kate a big kiss in her cheek and started digging on the food. "Nom, nom!"


    "Heheh." Kate blushed a bit as she giggled, happy to be loved by her big sis.


    It was a bit sad I couldn''t bring Rose and Coral to the party, but I couldn''t call them right now, so we had to throw a party with whatever people was avable right now.


    Midway through the party, Surtr and his family joined us as well, apanied by some of the Fire Giant kids Bedra and Kate befriended.
