Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

—–

As Sylphy and her friends decided to leave Mist and Zack alone for some time, the little demon girl hugged her boyfriend, placing her face over his chest. She liked to smell him a bit, his scent always kind of made her calm.

“Mist… Let’s talk. You don’t really need to act like this, we’re all your friends. And I… well, I’m your boyfriend, right?” Zack asked. “So please…”

“Z-Zack…” Mist glanced back at him, as she hugged him tightly, crying over his chest. “S-Sorry… I didn’t want to be rude! Sniff…”

“It’s fine.” Zack sighed. “I can understand how you felt… I used to be bullied as well when I was much younger back in my tribe.”

“Y-You were?” Mist was surprised.

“Yeah, I mean, it’s nothing really to brag about, and I am not trying for you to relate with me because we were both bullied, it’s not right… But well, I was an orphan as well.” Zack sighed. “My parents both died on a Goblin Invasion, and I was always alone and grumpy. The kids bullied me for having no parents and looking like an animal… because I grew up in the jungle.”

“E-Eh? So awful…” Mist sighed. “I never thought you would had gone through that yourself…”

“Not like I look all that perfect myself, you’re exaggerating. We’ve all gone through our fair share of stuff.” Sighed Zack. “Though, I guess not even knowing that would change what you went through your past.”

“Hmm, no, I want to learn more about you too…” Mist said. “I never imagined you could go through that… I’m so sorry, yet a bit intrigued… How did you deal with it?”

“I couldn’t really deal with it…” Zack sighed. “I grew up lonely, and no kid ever played with me. I hunted on my own and lived on my own. It felt as if I didn’t even belonged to the village. I felt so lonely… But it changed one day when Aquarina appeared, she didn’t discriminate me like the other kids, although she was rude, she didn’t chase me out either.”

“Aquarina… Right, you two come from the same village.” Mist said.

“Yeah, she was… perhaps the first person I could have ever considered a friend, although we were more like rivals.” Zack laughed, recalling those times with a bit of laughter. “Though, it really changed when Sylphy showed up. Aquarina was head-over-heels for her, and I ended sneaking into the two, Aquarina would get annoyed, but wouldn’t really tell me to go away, and we ended becoming friends, all three of us.”

“Ooh, so cute…” Mist smiled. “So they…?”

“Y-Yeah, without realizing, I ended making two really good friends, they were always there for me. Always, it felt like… I was finally with a family. Their parents were also friendly and took me over as one of their own.” Zack sighed. “I sometimes thought it was a bit unfair, that I didn’t deserved their help, but… There wasn’t much room to argue with them.”

“…” Mist remained in silence as she glanced at Zack’s bright green eyes. “Yeah… I do also have friends; Celeste was like my big sis… And some other kids at the orphanage too, like Annette, and Mina. They were always trying to cheer me up… And big sis Celeste was there, always… without her, I don’t know what would had become of me. A-Ah, of course, with Mom Mary too…”

“Mom?” Zack wondered.

“M-Mary is like my mom… Well, she raised me and all, I never really meet my real mom or dad…” Mist sighed.

“I guess we’re not so far either in that, Ninhursag in her various animal forms protected me through all my childhood, secretly. And then, once it was revealed, she pretty much adopted me.” Zack laughed a bit embarrassedly. “She’s like my mom too… I really love her.”

“I love Mary too!” Mist smiled. “And mother-in-law is a really nice mom too, she always greets me and invites me to eat at her house.” freēwebnovel.com

“She really loves you, hahah.” Zack laughed. “There hasn’t been a day where she hadn’t told me to treasure you, because you’re very important and special.”

“Auntie Ninhursag…” Mist blushed a bit.

“Feeling better now?” Zack asked. “You’re not whatever those stupid kids called you back then, you’re a lovely girl that always brightens everyone’s day. Sylph, Aquarina, Celeste, Celica, and everyone else always say that you’re the one that brings everyone’s happiness with your energetic personality and your positiveness. And even I… well, you’ve healed my broken heart quite a lot too.”

“Z-Zack… I…” Mist started crying again.

“Eh? You’re crying?” Zack panicked.

“But not out of sadness, I’m just… sniff, really happy…” Mist cried. “I’m so dumb, to get mad at something so stupid… Everyone’s like my family too, like you said! Also you… you’re m everything, Zack!”

“C-Come on now, stop saying such embarrassing things…” Zack blushed, scratching his chin.

“Heheh… But what did you mean by healing you?” Mist wondered.

“I… well…”

Zack started recalling some of the memories of the crush he once had.

“I once had a crush on Sylphy… I really liked her.” Zack sighed.

“Eeeeh?!” Mist suddenly panicked. “You like her?!”

“N-Not now! Not anymore, I only like you now, Mist.” Zack calmed her down. “I’m just talking about the past.”

“O-Oh…” Mist nodded. “T-Then go on.”

“Unlike Aquarina, who was really tomboyish and a bit of a meanie, Sylphy was really so nice with me. She was always helping me, always trying to cheer me up, and always gifting me things, talking with me, playing with me…” Zack laughed. “I really fell for her; I couldn’t help it. I was a bit dumb though, I never realized how much she liked Aquarina. It took me a while to realize that… And once I did and saw the two girls holding hands, seriously in love I… I felt so heartbroken.” Zack sighed, lowering his head.

“But it was obvious, isn’t it? the clues were right there, maybe… I had tried to ignore the fact Sylphy liked Aquarina, and stupidly tried to compete for her love with my friend, only separating us further instead of keeping us close… Now it is different, we’re even more together than ever but… Well, in those times, it was when you showed up.”
