Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 519 Learning Alchemy From Mother-----
It has been two weeks since Celeste woke up and Aquarina's parents already came back over a week ago. After they inspected the Port City, they said it was rather small for being one that connected to many other continents, but it seems that the reason was because it was a rather new one that has yet to build enough connections between the ruler and the rulers of other port cities within the continents.
Nonetheless, the town was peaceful, and although there were some criminal organizations, they were nothing important other than just a group of bandits that contrabanded stuff. They were taken down by Shade in a single night, alone. After that, we had been living a pretty calm and peaceful life. The two weeks went flying by as if nothing, as I stared into the skies while practicing Heavenly Sight and Mana Usage.
The airship was taking a while to get here because of many things that my mother's sister had to do first before getting it to get in here, but it should be getting any time now. Two weeks seem like a lot of time for some, but strangely enough they felt like no time for me.
I was doing so many things here and there that it all ended getting done so quickly… I spent most of the first week helping everyone do the chores, Celeste was quickly forced to adapt to our pace as well, helping at cooking, bleeding the carcasses, butchering, then cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, everything we all do here. We are a big community so we need to work hard every day to maintain order.
Uncle Arafunn and mother had made peace now and treat each other rather nice, better than before I would say. Whatever they talked about back then must have made them think about stuff or something… Sometimes I heard them talking about someone named "Julian" which mother explained to me was the Hero of Stars, someone that sacrificed himself at the end of their journey to defeat the powerful Demon King.
…I think she implied he was in a romantic relationship with Arafunn. Perhaps this is the person uncle Arafunn talked me about when we had our little chat some time ago. It made me feel a bit bad that someone he loved so much was gone, well, everyone loved him. I ended hugging my uncle the rest of the day when I heard that, and he felt slightly embarrassed I was giving him so much attention.
Aside from that one day, I've been training slowly yet diligently, and Mana Usage was now Level 8 from Level 5, so in two weeks I've got three levels down, not bad at all. And from Heavenly Sight, from Level 1 to 3, not bad either. It seems these two can level up quickly. If I put more time into leveling them, I might finish quicker, but I really didn't wanted to put all my time into this when I've got so many responsibilities and people I want to give my attention to, such as Aquarina, Zack, Celeste, Mist, and more.
I haven't even been allowed to hunt at all, so I haven't even gathered any EXP either, though I've got a big stash of it from that big battle. My Familiars had been doing the same I do and use their skills constantly to level them up over time. Everyone had leveled up their skills at least once by now, and I even realized some of their stats increased solely because they did some sort of exercise or conjured a lot of Magic. It seems that much like how skills can level up and stuff, stats can increase when you don't have a glitched system even when you don't level up.
I've also been accumulating Fruits of Knowledge and also the fruits and leaves from Naturia, and I'll keep accumulating more and more until I've got an insane stash to use in desperate situations. However, for a change in pace, we had been just enjoying a slow slice of life without many problems.
Mama began to teach me alchemy half a week ago. She promised me this over two weeks ago but finally began just now, Zephyr has been taking all her attention, my little brother is the most adorable thing, but my mother barely lets me handle him because she says I am not delicate with him or something… But I come to play with him every day, and he has begun to walk in all fours around the grass now, he's like a little mouse wandering around, and he has grown attached to me a lot, he should be smart enough to identify me as his big sister.
Like right now, as I've just finished having breakfast, I walked to his cradle, finding him playing with wooden toys shaped as little animals.
"Babaah!" Little Zephyr suddenly looked at me the moment I walked to his side.
"Hello Zephy, what are you doing?" I wondered.
"Bubah… Abah…" He said cutely, showing me his toys.
"This is a horse! Right?" I asked.
"Bubuh! Bwahh…" Zephy quickly showed me some more toys, some were covered on his saliva and others bitten, he had already grown some teeth and was using them to bite through anything he could find, wooden toys were not spared.
"Mooch, mooch! You're so cute…" I hugged him and gave him several kisses, as he suddenly licked my nose playfully. "Hahaha, that tickles!"
"Bwahh… Babuh…!" Zephy extended his little hands at me and began grabbing my face around as if I were some bread dough.
"Hahaha, that's enough…!" I quickly walked a few centimeters away as Zephy wanted to touch my face some more, extending his tiny baby hands.
"Babuuh! Bubah!"
"Mom, are we doing alchemy?" I asked.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Yeah baby, wait a bit." My mother quickly made Zephy some fruit puree and feed it to him calmly, he got it all over his face. But still liked the sweet flavor.
"Allan, take care of the baby please." My mother said, as my father was currently carrying some big boxes filled with stuff from the storage.
"Ah, sure, leave it to me. Phoenix, keep a watch while I finish this." My father summoned his phoenix on small petit form, resembling a little fowl.
"Now I am a babysitter?" Complained the legendary beast.
"Well you didn't complained with Sylphy!" My father said.
"Sigh… fine." The phoenix quickly landed atop of Zephy's cradle, looking down at him. "Hello little child, how are you faring today?"
"Buaaaaah! BUAAAAAH!"
Zephy was indeed scared of a large blazing bird, what a surprise…
"ALLAN! I told you not to use nonhumanoid spirits to take care of the kid! It's obvious he's going to get scared!" My mother quickly reprimanded my father.
Well, this was daily life for me at this point.
"B-But Sylphy never got scared…" My father sighed.
"Sylphy's different than Zephy, they're different kids…" Sighed my mother.
"Fine, fine, I'm done here anyways. Alright young lad, want to explore the village with your dad?" My father quickly held Zephy with his arms as he slowly calmed him down while walking aimlessly.
"Alright, looks like he stopped crying… Let's go now dear. Aquarina's coming?" Asked my mother.
"Yeah! She's with her parents but I'll go pick her up." I said, suddenly noticing she was rushing here. "Ah, she's here!"
"Phew… I almost didn't made it." She sighed, panting.
"Alright now that I've got you two, time for more alchemy lessons. Today you'll learn how to fix weapons like I did when I fixed Sylphy's sword. We'll try out with these broken knives from your father." My mother said to Aquarina.
"Yaaay!"
