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

Chapter 1867: Felicia’s New Apprentice?

”What? Come on, you could just leave them. You girls are big already...” The blonde elf boy was definitely pushy.

”Bro, let’s go. Leave her be.”

”Yeah, I mean, we didn’t stand a chance...”

The two dwarf boys were far more polite and grounded.

”What? This is why you’re never getting a girlfriend, you two! You have to be brave and just—Ugh?!”

At that moment, a powerful presence emerged, leaving the elf almost paralyzed.

Aquarina appeared, standing behind him. She was huge, taller than him, making him nervous and sweaty.

As the elf looked at her figure, his eyes widened and he blushed. ”Wait, what?! An Amazonian?! What are you doing here? Wow, you’re pretty! Want to come hang out with us—”

”First warning. Leave.”

”...Huh?”

Aquarina raised her fist, blazing with aura.

”Those girls are with me... I’m their friend.”

The two dwarves quickly grabbed the elf by his arms and ran as fast as they could.

”Hey, why are you dragging me?! We almost got them!”

”You’re crazy, dude!”

”Never make an Amazonian mad—that’s what my dad told me!”

We were left staring awkwardly at the situation.

”Aquarina... you didn’t have to threaten him...” I sighed. ”We could handle it just fine, right Ruby?”

”E-Ehehe, I was a little flattered actually...” Ruby blushed. ”He was kind of handsome...”

”Oh, you liked him?!” I asked curiously. ”So you like boys?”

”Y-Yeah...” Ruby muttered, swallowing nervously. ”Eh, is it weird?”

”No, no! It’s nice,” I nodded. ”But don’t settle for that guy. We could find you a much better man later, right Aquarina?”

”I guess so,” Aquarina nodded, still looking a little mad at the boys running away. ”Were they really trying to pick up on you?! Those guys sure are shameless!”

”Haha, you have to get used to it, Aquarina. We’re cute girls after all~” I said proudly. ”Boys and even girls will just come at us~”

”Aren’t you getting a little cocky~?” she teased, smiling at me before kissing my lips.

”Heheh~ But I know I’m only yours~” I kissed her back. ”And you’re mine.”

”Hmm, yeah...” she nodded, continuing to kiss me. ”You look hot in that swimsuit.”

”Aaahh, let’s not continue...” I quickly pushed her back a little. ”What do you think of Ruby?”

”Oh! Yeah, she looks nice,” Aquarina nodded. ”Really cute.”

”T-Thanks...” Ruby said embarrassedly. ”It’s still embarrassing...”

”Let’s go take a bath already!” I said, grabbing her hand. ”Let’s go!”

We ran back to the lake, where we played around for a while. Ruby slowly got used to the cold water and began playing more eagerly, giggling and enjoying herself.

Esmeralda joined us in the water too, and I bonded a little more with her, letting her bite my dragon tail... which hurt a lot.

Our parents also came to take a dip, and we finally convinced Master Felicia to join after much insisting. We enjoyed our time together and then ate barbeque.

Aquarina had brought a lot of interesting meat from her trip to the Dry Steppes, offering us some truly amazing food!

There were giant lobsters with rainbow exoskeletons, shrimps of similar kind, crabs, and many other mollusks and fish.

The smell of seafood was strong, attracting attention, but we weren’t selling anything—we ate it ourselves.

We were voracious, devouring everything.

The sauces Aquarina and her family brought were especially good—spicy and sweet—apparently made from a fruit near an oasis she had visited. She said a girl named Agua, her friend, loved this sauce, and it went well with almost anything.

Once we finished eating, we quickly dried our clothes with magic and prepared to head back, walking past the plaza and into the city again, before moving outside and into the skies.

”So where does your master even live?” Aquarina wondered. ”Can’t really see anything but snow for kilometers...!”

She was complaining a little too much, but once we got closer, I pointed into the distance.

”See that? The Blue Crystals popping out of the mountains?” I asked.

”Oh right!” she said, surprised as she glanced at the huge blue crystals. ”So that’s why they’re called Blue Mountains?!”

”Yeah!” I nodded. ”And that over there...”

We looked into the distance, and there it was—Master Felicia’s humble abode. It was a large wooden house, almost as tall as a tower now, thanks to recent expansions.

”That wooden cabin is where you’ve been living? Damn, it’s tall,” Aquarina said.

We landed in front of the wooden house, the snow easing our descent.

”Yeah, this is my home, Aquarina,” Felicia said. ”Welcome, girl... please behave inside, okay?”

She opened the door, letting us in. We all walked inside one after another. It was a lot of people, but just enough space for everyone to fit in the living room.

”Oh wow, it’s been years...” Nepheline looked around. ”Looks almost the same, except it’s much cleaner now...”

”Yeah, we take care to keep the place clean,” Celeste said.

”Master Felicia is too lazy to clean herself!” Celica giggled.

”Wait, what? So she’s been making you, a princess, clean her house?” Aquarina asked, slightly angry.

”Calm down, it’s okay,” I said with a giggle. ”Despite everything, I love Master Felicia, and I like living here too! I don’t mind cleaning—it serves as a way to practice Alchemy.”

”A-Alchemy?” Aquarina asked. ”Wait, what? You use Alchemy to... clean dust?”

”It’s an excellent method of training—simple yet taxing,” said Master Felicia. ”I tell the girls to synthesize the dust together, ultimately creating small pebbles. They are told to do this without any other magic assistance. At first it was very hard, but over the years, they’ve improved greatly. They can now clean an entire room in minutes, then move on to the next. At the end, they merge all the dust into a large pebble... and throw it off the mountain.”

”Well that’s... I hope nobody got hurt from that,” Aquarina muttered.

”Don’t worry. The only thing below this mountain is a forest full of dangerous monsters,” Felicia smirked. ”Anyway, you’ll be cleaning dust very soon, Aquarina. I’m quite excited to see how well you’ll clean!”

”Wait, what? I’m not cleaning!” Aquarina said angrily.

”Then Sylphy will do it twice...” Felicia said, glaring at me.
