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

Chapter 916 Whatʼs Happening?

-----

Without wanting to, I ended hearing Aquarina discussing with her mother, not something Iʼve ever seen more than once or twice. They usually get along really well, and her momʼs so carefree that she has little restrictions on her too.

So whatʼs happening? And what did she meant by leaving me behind?

”Listen Aquarina, youʼre not leaving her behind… forever. Okay?” Her mother sighed. ”You have to be a bit more mature about these things. You know what happened back with Arachne and everything else… How everyone almost died? Remember that? Whatever enemies weʼll face in the future… Not even you nor us will be able to take them down if we donʼt do everything in our power to get stronger.”

”But… Is there no other way?” Aquarina cried. ”I just donʼt want to… be separated from her…”

”Sigh… Itʼs not like sheʼll disappear from existence, Aquarina! You need to grow up a bit more and begin to understand that lifeʼs not all nice and carefree. There are times where we need to sacrifice precious time with those we love… So we can protect them.” Her mother seemed pained with her words.

”No! I donʼt wanna! And I donʼt care! I donʼt care at all about you and your dumb stupid things!” Aquarina cried, acting furious, she was in tears, suffering.

”Y-You insolent brat! How can you say that to your mother?!” Nepheline was losing her patience. ”Hey! Where are you going?! Come back!”

”I donʼt care! Screw you and the traditions!” Aquarina cried, running away.

Suddenly the door was slammed open as Aquarina appeared, running through the hall. I had hidden in the bathroom next to their room, shocked of what Iʼve heard…

”This girl…” Nepheline sighed. ”Just what can I do to convince her to trust me, just this once? Have I been an irresponsible mother?”

I remained in silence as I heard Nepheline walk away as well. I ended sighing in relief once both were gone. But at the same time, I couldnʼt help but feel really afraid, and concerned.

Just what were they even talking about? About leaving and… traditions? Is Aquarina moving away from us with her parents? But where? And why?

She clearly doesnʼt want to but theyʼre pretty much forcing her…

But if I ask them straight away, wonʼt that make them even angrier? Because it would mean I spied on their personal conversation, thatʼs not good either.

Ugh, what do I do? What can I do as Aquarinaʼs girlfriend to help her?

I ended feeling really down, sitting on the bathroomʼs toilet, and resting my head over my hands.

Despite how strong Iʼve grown… I canʼt help but find these problems so hard to deal with.

There are just things you canʼt just resolve with strength alone, personal problems that wonʼt be resolved unless we properly deal with them.

Ugh, I shouldnʼt be sitting here like a dumbass.

”Aquarina, wait for me!”

I quickly stepped out of the bathroom and ran to the room we shared, where I heard her crying over her bed…

My baby…

”Aquarina? Are you there?”

I knocked the door, without wanting to get inside rudely.

”Ah…! S-Sylphy…?! Arenʼt you having din… dinner?”

She seemed surprised.

”Baby come on, open the door. Youʼre crying, right? Let me see you! Please…”

”I-Iʼm not… Iʼm not crying…”

”You are, I heard you… Whatʼs going on? Canʼt you tell me whatʼs happening?”

”…”

Aquarina remained in silence, as I ended having to forcefully open the door with my strength, breaking it a bit.

And then, I found her sitting over the bed, trying to clean her tears with her hands, her face was slightly swollen for crying so much, and her eyes were red.

”Hey…”

I walked to her side and sat with her, hugging her shoulders. She didnʼt wanted to look at me in the eyes at all, but she slowly calmed down as I caressed her head.

”Everythingʼs alright… Donʼt cry, okay? Itʼs fine…”

”Sniff… Sorry… I shouldnʼt had gotten like this… I just…”

”Whatʼs going on?” I asked. ”What happened?”

”I-Itʼs… I donʼt know if I can tell you yet.” Aquarina sighed. ”Itʼs not something easy to tell… And I donʼt… I wonʼt do it anyways! I… Ugh…”

”Itʼs alright…” I sighed. ”Whatever you decide, Iʼll always support your decision.” I smiled back at her.

”S-Sylphy…” Aquarinaʼs eyes were about to cry again. ”Sorry for making you worry, Iʼm fine…”

She gently held my hand, yet even now, I could tell she wasnʼt being true to herself, nor to me. She was hiding something, but the more I wanted to know, the more I felt like I would be a bother if I tried to ask her and get involved in her personal life, the life of her and her family.

”A-Are you sure? Come on, please tell me…” I asked her again.

”I-Itʼs nothing too serious.” She smiled. ”Donʼt worry.”

”But I need to know! How else will I know what to do if I donʼt?” I asked her. ”I thought we trusted each other…”

”Y-Yeah! Itʼs just that… Ugh, maybe we can talk about this once weʼre on the port.” She sighed. ”Can you wait a bit? To make up my mind…”

”S-Sure…” I sighed, giving up. ”Letʼs go eat something now, alright?”

”Hmm.” She nodded, after she washed her face with her magic, we moved back to the dinning hall and ate something with everyone else.

The atmosphere was oddly silent aside from my friends chatting a bit… Aquarina was silent, slightly mad at her mother, and her mom was also silent too, crossing her arms while just thinking angrily.

Once we ate, my mother called for me, asking me what was happening.

”I wish I knew! But I just have no idea either.” I shrugged. ”I just heard them both discussing and then Aquarina started crying… I donʼt know what to do so I just stayed at her side. She doesnʼt want to tell me either.”

”Itʼs the same with Nepheline.” My mother crossed her arms. ”Iʼm racking my brains trying to think what it could be but I just canʼt remember… And that muscle-headed Amazonian woman is not speaking either, as tough as stubborn as a rock in both body and mind, isnʼt she?”

”Sigh… I guess mother and daughter are very similar in that regard.” I sighed.
