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

Chapter 652 I’ll Always Be There For You

-----

What had happened just now left us a bit surprised, and slightly tired. We agreed on taking a small break before continuing. Aquarina was rather sad she was being controlled, and her hate for the gods became even bigger for some reason. She was also glancing at the egg with a bit of hate, though if it ever hatches and itʼs a nice dragon, I think we should still keep it.

”Sigh… I canʼt believe I just did that without even knowing…” Sighed Aquarina. ”Thank you for being there Sylphy…”

”Donʼt worry, everythingʼs alright now. Alice inspected you using her light magic and she says youʼre already fine, the mind controlling effect has been completely dispelled.” I told her, trying to calm her nerves.

”Thatʼs… relieving.” She sighed, still feeling slightly down.

Everyone seemed silent as well, nobody really knew what to say, so they were leaving it all to me, geez. Well, sheʼs… my special one. So I suppose it is my duty to cheer her up.

”Youʼre still rather tired, arenʼt you?” I asked.

”Yeah… Not physically but mentally.” She sighed. ”And I feel… I feel a bit afraid. I donʼt want to be used… I donʼt want to be a puppet…”

”I know how it feels.” I sighed. ”Donʼt worry, I will never let anybody use you, youʼre the only one in control of your body.”

”Sylphy…”

”I swear on my name, Iʼll be there to protect you and help you. If these damn gods dare touch you again… I will make sure to make them pay.” I swore on my name, as I felt my rage beginning to grow in intensity as the curse in my soul became wider and stronger, desiring to absorb more…

I had managed to slightly hurt Evil Gods using the curse, their spiritual vessels were easily wounded and they screamed in agony when I attacked them like that… if I keep growing stronger, maybe there could be some way to hurt them even more badly.

I wonʼt let them touch her…

”Hahah…” Suddenly, Aquarina giggled a bit. ”You sometimes say some really funny things…”

”A-Ah…” I suddenly snapped back to reality, as if my own anger was bringing me elsewhere. ”Right… Yeah sounds stupid, right? I just donʼt know what else to tell you. I want you… to feel safe, at least with me.”

Aquarina smiled adorably, her blue eyes shining brightly.

”Sorry, I got a bit frightened, but I am not really weak either, am I? I a strong too… And with you, I think we are unbeatable!” Aquarina said with a confident grin. ”Mooch!”

Suddenly, she stole me a kiss in my lips.

”Uwah! T-That was sudden!” I got embarrassed; I couldnʼt help it.

”Heheh, thatʼs all I needed!” Aquarina giggled, getting up and back to her energetic personality. She quickly hugged me and began petting my head. ”Youʼre so cute when youʼre worried about me~~!”

As I received her pampering, everyone was watching at us while giggling and gossiping with one another. I had already grown accustomed to this…

”Look at them, so shameless…” Said Celeste. ”They could find a room already.”

”Aquarina only needed some Sylphy to fill her energies up, isnʼt it?” Sighed Zack. ”Well, I can understand her, Sylphyʼs lovable…”

”Huh? I am not too?” Mist asked at Zack surprised.

”Y-You too, Mist, of course.” Zack felt slightly pressured, giving Mist a head pat.

”Theyʼre so cute together… Mister Teddy and I wonder if one day weʼll find someone we can love like that.” Celica said with an innocent giggle.

”Big sis will marry Aquarina?” Wondered Zephy, my little brother asking Nephi.

”It does seems to be the case, young lord.” Nephi nodded. ”We shall celebrate when the wedding begins.”

”Ugh you lot, just shut up!” I cried in embarrassment, as Aquarina giggled at my side.

Alice seemed rather happy while seeing this scene.

”Youʼve come a long way, Sylphy. Look at all the friends youʼve made… So many sweet people at your side. Youʼre great.”

”Huh? W-What with that compliment out of the blue?”

”N-nothing… I just am happy. Iʼve been at your side since you were a little baby after all… It is like seeing my child grow up, or my little sister!”

”Geez, even youʼre getting corny…”

”Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I canʼt help it~”

”Fooo fooo!”

Naturia seemed to agree.

Like that, before departing, we decided to have a small snack. Whatever dangers awaited us at Floor 3 werenʼt going to be any easier than the Eels or that dangerous Sea Snake Lesser Dragon, so we better fill our stomachs with healthy snacks to boost our stats as well, utilizing Cooking Magic!

”Iʼll cook for now, youʼve been cooking all the time, Sylphy.” Aquarina said. ”Iʼve been practicing cooking with your mom for a while now, you can count on me!”

”O-Oh! Sure then!” I nodded. ”Iʼll take a break for now, I need to wash myself as well.”

I quickly brought out a tent from the Dimensional Bag and undressed me inside, beginning to wash myself from all the sweat using some basic Tier 1 Water Magic Spells.

And while I was taking a bath, Alice began talking.

”I know you want to save your EXP for later, but I would recommend you making a few more System-using equipment, Sylphy. Youʼve already seen in Scarletʼs performance enhancement. Her abilities have become over ten times better, and she keeps getting stronger, sharper, and sturdier with each level up. How about you turn something else with a System?” Alice spoke to me through the telepathy that spirits and their masters could do.

”I had considered it but I still donʼt know…” I sighed. ”Well, do you have any ideas?”

”Yeah! Your boots change too much, and clothes… not for now. I believe either accessories you can carry anywhere easily without needing to be changed or… another weapon.” She said. ”Items created by the System are especially powerful and have a lot of durability. How about the Coral Golemʼs Shield?”

”Huh… A shield wouldnʼt be so bad. Alright then! I guess youʼve convinced me.”
