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

Chapter 606 A Little Brother That Wants To Hang Out

-----

The week ended peacefully as I decided to take a break and simply experiment with my new abilities, train my magic, and do all sorts of other smaller tasks. Mother gave us plenty of time to solve the requests. With Saphaleyʼs request done, I wanted to relax for a bit. If we are ever given another quest where we need to gather materials from the outside, then things are going to get hairy soon and I didnʼt wanted to fight for the moment.

I also completed quests that sometimes popped up. They happened sporadically and there was no clear way to get them aside from a clear and upfront request from someone. Sometimes it asked me to do some sit ups, other times to use Draconification, and other times it asked me to process materials using the Alchemy Skill. Rewards were often small, such as tiny potions for skill proficiency and EXP. Yesterday I got a single red dragon flower, and quickly made an elixir.

The elixir worked nicely and seemed to boost my Dragon Heartʼs power output up to 6%, but I need tons of these if I ever want to grow stronger quickly in this regard. Well, I am 13 now so I can still take it easy. Nothing of much importance has happened, just the usual, relaxed, and nice daily life weʼve all deserved as family after weʼve gone through so much stuff four years ago.

Like that, the next week came in a flash, I mostly spent time with my friends as well, and family. Oh right, and teaching Nephi some common sense. Sheʼs a lax girl too, sometimes quite silent, but interacts when we approach her. I think that sheʼll get better and better as time passes.

Meanwhile, my little Zephyr has gotten friendlier with us, and has been sticking with me, following me around as if he really wanted to join our group, I guess when I was at his age I was already traveling around the forest and fighting monsters, so I shouldnʼt be so restrictive with him… However, my friends doesnʼt like such a tiny child to hang around with us, even when I adore him.

However, things changed when mother took a decision.

”Your little brother wants to hang out with you and your friends, so donʼt be so unfriendly and let him join your group, Sylphy.”

My mother said this morning, as I was in the middle of having breakfast. I went down to have breakfast because Nephi had once more eaten the breakfast she brought me upstairs.

”Eh? Oh…” I looked at my little brother blushing a bit while fidgeting his fingers shyly. He seemed to not have the courage of request this from us, so he ended asking our mom.

”I want to hang out…” He said with puppy-like eyes.

”Awww, of course you can.” I sighed. ”I just havenʼt really brought you along because we often wander to dangerous places.”

”Iʼm strong too!” Zephy said, as his shadow suddenly shaped into several tiny hands to show off his magic power.

Unlike my Fire, Nature, and Light Elements, Zephy was good at using Shadows, Blood, and Death element the most, according to mom and dad. He already got to Tier 2 of his Magic Circle merely by slowly making up runes.

Heʼs exceedingly talented, and Iʼm pretty sure heʼs no reincarnation like me, just an average talented elven children… I suppose we are indeed super talented when we are kids. Heʼs almost five yet talks very fluently without being a reincarnated soul like me as well!

Iʼve been taking care of him, since he was a baby, so heʼs really very precious to me… Maybe my big sister instincts were also telling me to not bring him into unnecessary danger.

”I am just worried. I donʼt want him to end up getting hurt.” I sighed.

”Well, werenʼt you fighting monsters at his age too?” Asked my mother.

”That doesnʼt mean we are not overly protective parents now. We are still worried about him. But we know his big sister is strong, and so are her friends. We had discussed about this and we just wanted to give you a bit more of responsibility, so you can prove yourself more to us.” My father said.

Maybe they really trust me more now. I guess it is because of what has happened back on Eastgrain. I did beat a powerful True Demon Duchess and then Celeste who was being possessed by the Evil Gods powers… so yeah, maybe I really did a lot of cool things.

Although I am not as strong as back then. That powerup was a one-time thing thanks to Ignatiusʼ brother being present. He really helped me get a ton of power back then. I wonder if one day Ignatius will get as OP… well, I hope.

”I guess you really trust me more now than back then. Can I ask why?” I wondered.

”Well, isnʼt it obvious? Youʼve done way too many feats.” Sighed my mother. ”Just last week you made that amazing Elixir and all, youʼve gained a lot of popularity around town as well.”

”Youʼre not near as strong as I want you to be, Sylphy. But I can confidently say I trust your strength. Youʼre also not alone, your several Familiars are with you, and also your friends most of the time. Nephiʼs there too and sheʼs fairly powerful, as long as you supply her with Mana.” My father said.

”I can help fighting monsters and protecting the young master.” Said Nephi, giving a head pat to Zephyr.

”Nephi!”

Zephyr suddenly hugged Nephi and then she carried him in her arms. He seemed to enjoy being with her. I donʼt know why, but this little rascal might be slowly taking a liking of her.

”Alright then, that leaves it clear as water, Iʼll bring him along!”

With Aquarinaʼs birthday approaching and four other requests I wanted to get down, there wasnʼt any time to waste. Also I had to bring my little brother along, I hope he doesnʼt get bored with us though, I donʼt really get what he really wants from this, other than having fun and interact around.
