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

Chapter 638 Already Spilled The Beans

-----

After having made our way to the end of Floor 1, we defeated the powerful Tier 5 Coral Golem and we swiftly decided to make our way to Floor 2 after taking a break. Aquarina had been acting a bit jealous lately. I have grown rather immune to her at this point, sheʼs still a bit insecure of herself, maybe. I may have to make her feel more loved to reassure her. It is rather weird to get jealous of Nephi, who seems completely devoid of romantic interest at all though.

However, through our break I managed to smooth her a bit more, but she was still slightly grumpy… Honestly, sheʼs the cutest when sheʼs all grumpy, it makes me want to pinch her cheeks a bit and pet her head… But I should not do that or sheʼll only get more mad.

So… Iʼve got the perfect thing for her, and it is tightly packed inside of my Dimensional Bag!

”Aquarina, are you still angry?” I wondered.

”Huh? A-Angry? Why would I be angry?” She said, trying to pretend she didnʼt acted jealous before.

”Heheh… I know you were a bit jelly before~” I giggled. ”You canʼt really hide it from me~”

I began to whisper to her ear as she suddenly grew redder than a tomato.

”I-I didnʼt said anything… I was just… a bit worried, thatʼs all…” She sighed. ”Sorry if it was… weird, or you felt awkward.”

”Its fine, well, it is nice that you apologized for it though. Hereʼs a little gift.” I said, giving her a pink-colored candy, it was the size of her fingertip, yet it was one of the candies she liked the most.

”Oooh! You made more of these!” She said happily.

”Yep!”

These were Vitality Cherry Candies, made with a special Cherry that enhanced vitality. They had an addictive sweet flavor to them which Aquarina loved a lot. However she also likes that they last a while, even when the candyʼs gone, thereʼs a special gum inside which she can chew for over an hour.

”Nom!” She quickly ate it while happily smiling. ”I thought there werenʼt anymore…!”

”I made some for you because I know you love them.” I said back, giving her a head pat.

”Heheh… You always think about me Sylphy…” She smiled back.

”Well of course I do.” I told her. ”So donʼt go thinking weird things just because I am friendly with people, okay?”

Most of the time I always had her in the back of my head. I often researched and dedicated a lot of time in alchemy just so I could make her new things.

”Yeah…” Aquarina sighed. ”I kind of get it now… I donʼt know why I get these fits sometimes. Whenever you think Iʼm acting a bit dummy, just tell me, okay?” She smiled back, holding my hand.

”Sure…!” I felt slightly happy as she seemed to have reconciled with me.

I guess what might be happening to her is just part of our adolescence, teenager hormones and all of that. I learned a bit about this from my Teacher back in my previous life. She often called us ”horny teenagers”, and always said ”hormones makes you go insane, calm down!”. For being an assassin, she knew a lot of stuff.

I never really asked her what she did before getting into her new profession, but we gossiped between her apprentices that she might had used to be something like an Alchemist, or a researcher of biology.

And well, thanks to Alice teaching me tons of stuff from Earth, including science, math, language, and other ”common sense” things from there, Iʼve enhanced my repertoire of knowledge, while also drawing in new ideas for the creations I make, such as the Vitality Cherry Candy, the gum wasnʼt something that existed in this world, but I got the idea once Alice showed me images of various candies and sweets from Earth within her vast database.

As I chatted with Aquarina while walking downstairs, I caught out friends behind gossiping about us. They were not even being subtle at all about it!

”Oh my, look at them now…” Celeste giggled. ”Theyʼre literally just being lovey-dovey shamelessly.”

”Heheheh…” Mist giggled. ”Theyʼre cute together.”

”Will they marry when they grow up?” Wondered Celica.

”I guess so? I donʼt know what else would they do.” Zack sighed.

”Big sis is deeply in love… I saw them mooching the other day!” My little brother Zephy spilled the beans.

”You did?!” Asked Zack.

”So theyʼre really making out, huh?” Celeste laughed.

”Oooh! That means theyʼre going to marry now, right?” Mist said.

”A-A kiss… Mommy says that a lady cannot kiss someone that is not married with them… S-So I guess they will now…” Celica said.

Oh my gosh why are they have to be like this?! Also my little brother just spilled the beans like that! He didnʼt even hold back to our promise! Ugh, that little brat!

”S-Shut it already! I can hear you!” I roared back. ”Concentrate… in what weʼre doing right now!” I was completely embarrassed. ”Look, weʼre here now…!”

”R-Right!” Aquarina heard most of it too and she couldnʼt contain herself. She quickly let go of my hand in her attack of panic over such a tiny secret of ours being shared so shamelessly.

”Come on weʼre all friendsh here!” Mist said. ”I always hoped you would end up together!”

”W-Weʼre not together!” Aquarina said while blushing.

”Eh? Weʼre not?” I asked a bit disheartened.

”I-I mean… Not yet…” She blushed a bit. ”R-Right? Or do you… want to right away?”

”Ah… I-I…”

RUMBLE!

Before I could come out with an answer to such an unexpected proposition, the floor in front of us trembled. We quickly analyzed our surroundings, finding ourselves in the middle of a forest of enormous and colorful corals growing all the way into the ceiling! And hiding within the corals there were powerful presences approaching, by the dozens!

”SHAAAAAAH!”

Suddenly, a giant eel showed up, slithering around the coral forest, and hissing angrily!

Thatʼs a Tier 3 Giant Amphibious Eel!
