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

—–

Everyone swarmed Zack after that, congratulating him. At the end nobody joked about it because of how serious it got. Which was a good thing. I wouldn’t had forgiven Celeste if she joked about my best friend’s attempt at singing. Only I will joke about it, eventually, in the far future.

“Congrats Zack! I can feel the Spirits of the Wind tuning with your existence!” Lara said. “That Crown you’ve gifted, is truly magnificent! A gift of power from the Queen of the Wind Spirits is no small feat!” Lara was especially amazed by everything, and after admiring Melodia and trying to talk with her, which ended on Melodia saying she should have been the chosen one instead because she was cute, she went to congratulate Zack. “May I see the tattoo in more detail? The little Wind Spirits are covering it all!”

“A-Ahahaha, maybe later Lara…” Zack felt slightly overwhelmed by her getting too close.

“Yeah man, I never thought you would actually sing a song like that!” Luck laughed a bit. “I’m not mocking you or anything though. It must take a lot of courage to sing something like you did, well done. You’re perhaps the first person that’ll become a disciple of a hero of winds!”

“Thanks Luck, I thought you would mock me, but I knew you were a good friend.” Zack smiled.

“I feel like I should say something, but I will refrain doing so.” Celeste said. “Well done brat.”

“I really thought you were going to laugh out loud and say I sucked at singing.” Said Zack.

“Hahaha! W-Well, you said it, not me!” Celeste laughed out loud. “A-Anyways, I won’t say another word because Mist will kill me if she sees me mocking you.”

“Fair enough.” Zack shrugged.

“That was a nice song, Zack. A bit weird though!” Celica smiled at him. “Will you teach me how to sing later?”

“Eh? You want to learn how to sing?” Asked Zephy right at her side. “W-Wait, teach me too! I want to learn at her side!”

“Huh? Sure buddy, don’t be so desperate.” Zack sighed, quickly noticing Zephy’s intentions.

As he talked with everyone, we stepped in. Aquarina gave him a strong hug, almost the same one she gave me back then. I think this is the first time she ever gives him a hug through our entire lives together as friends.

“Uaagh! A-Aquarina?!” Zack blushed slightly. She was one of her old crushes after all.

“Congrats Zack! For once I’ll recognize and say you’re pretty cool, dude.” Aquarina let him go, smacking his head while laughing. “You make me proud!”

“You talk like you raised me or something…” Zack sighed.

“Well done, Zack.” I said, as my friend blushed a bit after seeing me by his side. “I knew you could do it! I would hug you too but Mist’s right behind me and I don’t want her to get the wrong idea…”

“Hahaha, it’s fine, Sylphy.” Zack smiled. “Thanks for always supporting me and… being the best friend I’ve ever had in my life.”

“Aww, you little brat!” I laughed, smacking him in the head like Aquarina. “Don’t get all corny now!”

“Ouch! Ugh, you two are such brutes!” He complained. “Are you girls or gorillas?”

“Who are you calling gorilla?!” Aquarina angrily roared like a beast.

“See?! She’s one!” Zack pointed at her. I couldn’t stop laughing.

And as we talked, Mist stepped in, from right behind me. She walked to his side and quickly hugged him, a very gentle hug unlike Aquarina’s destructive hugs.

“Congrats Zack… T-That was a very embarrassing song… Did you really think those things of me?” She wondered, her golden eyes looking into his own. Zack immediately froze, I can’t blame him, she’s too cute.

“I-I… W-Well, yes…” Zack sighed. “S-Sometimes it is pretty hard for me to express my feelings. I’m sorry if… I haven’t told you enough times.”

“N-No, it’s fine, really!” Mist said, blushing. “It’s just makes me really happy. I’m glad to have you with me, Zack! You’re also very important to me!”

“M-Mist…” Zack was really emotional right now, as the two lovebirds hugged. “You’re my everything! We’ll be separated at the end of the year but… I will never forget you, and once we meet again, I’ll make up for all the time we were separated.”

“Sure!” Mist smiled adorably. “I will do too!”

Zack couldn’t resist her adorableness anymore and gave her a kiss in her lips, which Mist responded with even more little kisses. They started making out right in front of everyone.

“Zack… Hmm, mooch!”

“I love you Mist, mooch…!”

“Yikes, okay, let’s just back off now.” Celeste groaned, as everyone quickly walked away to leave them some time alone. “Let’s leave them alone.”

The morning after that went really quickly- well, it wasn’t morning already but yeah. We decided to have a big breakfast to celebrate Zack’s acceptance as a disciple of Arafunn. Which included my famous creampuffs and a lot of other pastries, pancakes, and some cheesecake and cookies. We went all out with mom. Mist and Celica joined in, wanting to learn how to make these tasty treats too.

I wasn’t surprised over Mist. And I wished Lara showed a bit more interest too but although she said she wanted to learn. She was a rather spoiled girl that preferred to be served, so Luck was the one usually cooking for her, funnily enough. However, Celica’s willingness surprised me.

We thought she would say that she wanted to make teatime for her golems, or something similar… but her response was different than we could have ever imagined.

“Oh? I just wanted to learn to make tasty sweets! I love them!” She said. “Ah, and also for Zephy, he’s always helping me in everything and playing with me… Even when I admit that I am a bit annoying. I want to give him something tasty made by me! I-I don’t know why but I like to see him happy and smiling.”

My mom and I were left speechless… We looked at one another and nodded in silence.

It looks like Celica isn’t as clueless as we imagined.
