Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 431 Let's Enjoy The Present-----
I felt slightly more bitter and sorrowful as I continued thinking about everything. All of this pilling up inside of my mind was killing my self-esteem…
"Hahh…"
"Sylphyyyy!"
However, the voice of someone that always brings me happiness resonated behind me.
It was Aquarina running to my side hurriedly.
"Aquarina…?"
"Sylphy!"
Aquarina suddenly jumped over me out of nowhere, hugging me tightly.
"E-Eeh?!"
"Dinner's ready! Heheh…"
"Ah…"
Without thinking it, I ended hugging her back, tightly, and rubbing my face over her shoulders.
"S-Sylphy? Don't you want to go eat?"
"I do but… Can we hug a bit more?"
"A-Ah… S-Sure…"
Her warmth was so comforting that it made most of my worries disappear, even if momentarily.
"Is something wrong?" She wondered. "I know you're tired about everything that happened today… but let's go eat so you can feel better."
"Hmm… I know." I sighed. "I was just thinking…"
Aquarina quickly freed herself from my hug, sitting over the grass.
"What were you thinking?" She asked, tilting her head curiously.
"I…. Have you never wondered how this world just continues to move forward, no matter what we do, and no matter what we think, it never stops?" I asked.
"H-Huh?" Aquarina seemed slightly confused at first, but she nodded. "Yeah… Papa always says that no matter what we do, we can't stop the world from moving."
"Shade said so?" I wondered.
"Papa… Papa said that no matter what we do, we can't stop time to take things easy and slowly process everything. We can't stop the world so it can go our way either… It always goes its own way." Aquarina said.
"Oh… Well, yeah…" I sighed. "I share his opinions."
"But…" Aquarina continued. "Mom always tells him that even if the world cannot be changed by our efforts, that at the very least, we can try to change as many lives as we can. It is better than nothing, right?"
"…"
For a moment, I found myself brought into complete silence.
Her response was very simple…
Yet it somehow made me realize that perhaps… I was seeing things too broadly.
Way too broadly for me to also see the small picture.
Perhaps, it is not always right to see things as the big picture.
Maybe concentrating into what's in front of you could save and change more lives than trying to change things as a whole.
I guess a part of my own self was being slightly over ambitious…
The power I hold might have amazing possibilities, but as of now, it is not as if I can just use it to resolve everything I want to.
"Sylphy, are you okay? Have you been worrying about stuff?" Aquarina gently asked, sitting at my side.
"Hmm… A bit…" I sighed. "Aquarina, don't you ever wonder what's going to be of our lives in this chaotic world?"
"Chaotic world?" Wondered Aquarina. "But don't you see? Tonight's a beautiful night… it is all… peaceful!"
"Ah…"
Aquarina pointed at the sky, the stars, as her beautiful blue eyes shone brightly and innocently.
"Yeah… You're right. It is… it is a beautiful world, isn't it?" I sighed, as I petted her head.
"Yeah!" She answered. "Now let's go eat, I am starving!" Aquarina held my hand and quickly forced me to stand up, leading me to the camp.
Maybe I should take it easy for now…
And just enjoy the present.
Worrying about everything all the time might really not be the right thing to do.
I suppose I am really a privileged person to be letting my mind get tormented by such thoughts when there are so many people out there just living day by day however they can.
Maybe there's one or two things I can learn from these people.
"Aquarina…"
"Hm?"
We suddenly stopped walking as I held her hand.
"I… I really appreciate your friendship this entire time…"
"E-Eh? You do?"
Aquarina seemed slightly flustered.
"Yeah… Thanks for cheering me up, I was really gloomy."
"Aw geez… Don't be like that! Come on, let's go eat!"
"Hahah… Alright, I am actually starving too! I can't believe I let my mind just make me forget that! I'm going to eat a whole cow!"
"Hahaha! How can you eat a whole cow? There's no way!"
We giggled like little girls, as we ran into the camp and we were greeted by everyone there. Zack was eating a big piece of meat stuck to a big bone by himself, while the rest were still preparing the food. My mother hugged me and gave me a kiss in my forehead.
"How are you feeling dear?"
"I'm good… A bit tired, that's all!"
"Hmm… I see."
She seemed to have not noticed the Curse I have, perhaps because it is incredibly strong, or maybe because I chained it with the System's power after modifying it.
"In a week and a half we'll be leaving this town, I hope that things can go well until then. I am excited to show you my home, even if… there are several people I would rather not meet again, there's still a lot of things you should learn there." She said. "Ah, though the trip to the sea is surely going to be a pain…"
"Hahah, it will really be…" My father laughed behind my mother. "Your mother is seasick so she hates traveling through boats… We'll have to let the baby be born first before going through the sea tough, so she doesn't have any complications there."
"R-Right… Well, it should be born soon, right?" I wondered.
"Yeah, in a bit more of time you'll have a little sibling!" My mother said. "Make sure to take good care of him or her, okay?"
"Sure!"
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Honestly, I can't believe I let my thoughts get the better of me back then. I even have a little sibling coming to my life soon. How can I even feel bad like that when I am going to become a big sister?
I'll be happily waiting for the baby to come to this world!
