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

Chapter 556 Lara And Luck

-----

Now that I can see them here and all, it kind of makes me feel even bad. I guess Rubyʼs alright, she probably is safe as of now, but what about Lara and Luck?! It says theyʼre tired and hungry! C-Can I do something for them with this power? Maybe I could teleport them some food…

No, thatʼs just fantasy, I cannot do anything right now other than hope their strength and divine protections can protect them, even if theyʼre in the same continent, theyʼre so far away it would take me days to get where they are.

Ugh, now it makes me feel even worse to think I am just ignoring them… But come on, shouldnʼt be there someone gathering us together? I remember that mother said that all heroes gathered somewhere all together to meet and form their party.

But now it seems it might not be the time yet, as nobody seems to be minding the whole god business at all, nor being heroes either. I just hope theyʼre alright…

”It might be possible to help them… If thatʼs what youʼre hoping for.” Alice said. ”Of course, the most direct yet incredibly risky way is going to find them, but thereʼs another way.”

”Another way?” I wondered.

”Through my powers, I can detect them. I can give them Quests, by completing them, they might gain food and even other items to shelter themselves.” Said Alice.

”Eeeh?! You can?!” I asked.

”At the expense of your EXP…” Said Alice.

”Ah…” I sighed. ”I guess, how much?”

”Approximately a million to set everything up…” Alice said.

”Ugh…” I cried a bit internally. ”S-So how are you doing it? Wait a second, I can give quests to people?”

”Indeed, it is all part of the powers of the System and its brand-new Spell youʼve learned just now [Quest Helper]! And through the connection you have with them, I can use this thin thread of energy connection all of you to assign them this power to help them, even if a little more.” Sighed Alice.

”Well, alright, just do that then!” I said with a nod. ”Is there any other hero that is having a hard time?”

”Not for now, the others that have yet to awaken and even the dwarf girl are alright.” Said Alice. ”Lara and Luck are together protecting one another, if theyʼre so close. But they might be having a hard time at life right now.”

”Alright… then thereʼs no other option. Maybe we can set up the quest so they slowly get closer to town?” I wondered.

”That would also be convenient, but theyʼre literally in the farther wildlands. It might be too risky.” Said Alice.

”Ugh… So Iʼll have to just help them bit by bit with tiny quests? This feels a bit sad… How long will it take them to meet with us?” I wondered. ”Ah, I donʼt even know them, maybe I shouldnʼt worry so much… Agh! Who am I kidding?! I am really worried!”

”Well, Iʼll just talk this out with my parents. Iʼll need their help anyways.” I sighed.

”Yes, I would say thatʼs the best thing you could do… Should we give them the quests?” Asked Alice.

”I donʼt know… Maybe theyʼll get something very impossible.” I sighed. ”Leave it be for now.”

”Alright. Donʼt feel so guilty over this, Sylphy. It is not even your fault that anything is happening to them, but your good heart is truly something touching. Donʼt worry. I know you can feel how they are. Concentrate.” Alice told me.

I sat down over bed and closed my eyes.

Slowly, I felt their presence, far, far away.

They seemed to be resting inside a hollow tree.

I could smell something… grilled fish?

And then the laughter of a girl.

Even in such difficulties sheʼs laughing so happily?

”Hahaha! You got all covered in water…”

”Ugh, you shouldnʼt laugh, I brought you fish, Lara.”

”Aw come on, donʼt be grumpy Luck. Letʼs eat something… Spirits of Sunlight, are you there?”

”Fooo!”

”Fooah!”

”Gyeyeyeyh!”

Suddenly, it felt as if Lara summoned something, countless tiny spirits of sunlight began grilling the fish for them.

”Your magicʼs sure handy, Iʼve never seen something like this before…”

”Since I was a baby that they had been there to help me out… Land Spirits, Sun Spirits, River Spirits, and even Wind Spirits… As long as we have them here, weʼll never be alone and weʼll always be alright.”

”Youʼre surely cheerful… Well, youʼve never stopped being like that.”

After hearing that, I suddenly lost the connection.

I guess they were having a good time… Despite their status looking like they were in a bad situation.

”Phew… t-thatʼs as much as I can do for now, sorry…”

Alice apologized while feeling tired.

”Oh, donʼt worry. I guess I was able to sense and listen to them due to your help, thanks.”

”D-Donʼt worry about it… Now, check your new Skills first, thatʼll be better for now. Letʼs worry later. They seem to be capable enough, donʼt feel the necessity to desperately help everyone. Sometimes you have to trust others that they can take care of themselves some more, Sylphy.”

”I know… Iʼll take that into consideration.” I nodded.

Though now I am even more curious about what has been happening to them, and about Lara and Luck! They seemed to actually be old friends, like me and Aquarina and Zack.

And Lara said she had received the help of spirits since she was born, since she was a baby! Like me? But at the same time she was different, she could simply call spirits and they would come. They were not normal spirits made into familiars that grew with her, but any surrounding spirits would simply lend her a hand.

Is this her actual power? Maybe the Sheep Anima simply develop it naturally but Lara… sure had one that was way better, perhaps stronger than their race version. I suppose it is part of being a Saint of Spirits.

”Sylphy… check the skills!”

”Ah, right…”
