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

Chapter 1260: Meeting The Witch Of The Blue Mountain, Felicia

”Ah, there she is! Itʼs really her! Haha! Felicia! Been so long!”

”Hm? Oh, well, well, well, youʼre finally here, Allan.”

My father ran to meet her, the witch greeted her with a very relaxed, calm smile, almost unnoticeable in her unchanging face expression.

Her voice was calm and slightly melodic, she didnʼt sound like a child either, more like someone in their thirties? But with a melodic undertone, that gave her a very beautiful voice.

As we drew closer, her Magical Aura only became more intense, but it wasnʼt aggressive either, it seemed... ”lazy”? It was very relaxed, letting things through without problems.

”I havenʼt seen you in years, actually! Iʼm really sorry for never coming to visit you...” My dad apologized to her, as she stood up and accepted his hug, patting his head in return.

”It is fine, a couple of years are not really that long for someone like me,” she smiled gently. ”You have sure grown into a fine man, Allan. I still remember when you were such a bratty teenager. Humans sure grow fast~”

”A-Ahaha... I was indeed quite bratty... but Iʼve grown up a lot, yeah. I am even a father now,” he said.

”I can see! I never would have imagined back then that you and Faylen from all people would end up together,” she giggled. ”But here we are, and what a wonderful daughter you have. Hello~ You must be Sylphy, right?”

She slowly approached me, smiling and asking me.

As she moved towards me, I noticed something else too.

Her pointy elven ears combined her slightly small stature, she was barely a bit taller than me.

She was indeed a half elf and half dwarf, huh?

But that wasnʼt all!

Her movements... it felt like her body wasnʼt even moving.

She was using her own Magical Aura to move her body, like a puppet.

Why was she doing that?!

”H-Hi... Nice to meet you, auntie...” I greeted her, slightly nervously. ”Thank you so much for all the gifts youʼve sent over the years! I am glad I can finally meet you; my parents have always talked me about you since I was a baby!”

”Fufu, is that so? I am glad youʼve liked my items; I can see youʼre wearing all of them now,” she nodded. ”Good girl, good girl. Oh, ah, right. And you two as well! Come here, please, donʼt be afraid, I donʼt bite~”

Celica and Celeste, who were also sensitive to mana, felt her very strong presence and were slightly intimidated, but after I gave them a gesture, they quickly walked near her.

”H-Hi, Iʼm Celica...” Celica said. ”A-Are you auntie Felicia?”

”Yes, thatʼs me!” Felicia smiled. ”What a lovely girl you are, cute eyes and skin, I love the color blue... And you have the same hair color as me too!” she looked at Celeste.

”A-Ah, yeah...” Celeste nodded. ”I-Iʼm Celeste, nice to meet you.”

”Nice to meet you too, letʼs get along, alright? All three of you will become my new disciples, as per Faylenʼs request! So from now on, you can call me Master Felicia,” she said with a nod. ”Master?!” Celeste didnʼt like the sound of that. ”Not like weʼre your slaves for that...!”

”Hey Celeste, be more careful with your words!” my father reprimanded her. ”She didnʼt mean it like that!”

”Ah, oh my, did I say something wrong?” wondered Felicia. ”Are you sensitive to that word, Celeste? Then maybe just auntie? Would that be good for you?” she asked with a concerned look.

”A-Ah, yeah, I mean... sure,” Celeste said. ”Sorry... I shouldnʼt have reacted like that... I just... donʼt like that word, calling other people like that, I donʼt...”

Ugh, I guess it canʼt be helped, she used to be a slave, and her mother too.

Calling her father as ”master” since the moment she was born, and then all the things that happened to her and her mom.

I can tell that she would relate that word to some traumatic experiences.

”I wouldnʼt mind calling you master!” Celica said.

”Me neither,” I nodded. ”Just let Celeste call you however she wants, sheʼs like that.”

”Well, it is fine by me, Iʼve never truly cared about formalities to begin with-” Felicia smiled. ”Anyways! Should we eat something? Weʼre here so might as well. Allan, you invite, right?”

”Eh? Ah, sure...” My father felt slightly cornered here, he couldnʼt really say ”no” at this point. ”Okay, letʼs do that at least, itʼs the least I could do after you agreed to this whole thing.”

”Thank you~”

We sat down and quickly ordered a lot to eat. With Celeste and Celica we were quite eager to ask for sweets, especially with chocolate, and Felicia was all happy to oblige to that, also asking for several servings of chocolate donuts, chocolate cheesecake slices, chocolate shortcakes, chocolate pancakes, hot chocolate, chocolate cookies, and more.

”So tell me Allan, how things have been lately?” Felicia wondered. ”I did hear about the whole Arachne incident. A pity I was so far away. I would have helped... Well, if things escalated too much, you should have simply called me, but I received no call from any of you...”

”Oh, sorry about that, we didnʼt want to bother you, Felicia,” my father said. ”To most of us, youʼve already kind of... Well, jubilated from the duty of a Hero, so we didnʼt want to annoy you or force you to help. We know you donʼt like doing all of that anymore.”

”My, such harsh words! I would have come flying if you ever asked for help...” Felicia sighed. ”Do you think I am that lazy, Allan? Goodness...”

”We didnʼt know you were so willing to help... Okay, we will consider you from now on,” dad nodded. ”Iʼll tell everyone about this eventually, so donʼt worry.”

”Okay, fine...” Felicia sighed. ”Well, itʼs not like I particularly enjoy being alone forever... So letʼs meet up later, shall we?”

”Felicia...” My dad gasped. ”I didnʼt know... You were so distant before that I... Iʼm sorry, I misunderstood you.”

”No, itʼs fine, I was also... quite dumb back then, a lot of things made me depressed, the lost of our friends, and the bitter end to our journey...” Felicia sighed. ”But after all these years, Iʼve gotten better, I think I can do this again. I want to... to meet all my friends, at least those that remain.”
