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

393 Choosing A New Leveling Skill!

-----

When we finished having breakfast, I decided to go take a relaxing warm bath to relax my muscles. My uncle gave me some bath salts made through alchemy that heal the body from pain, exhaustion, and even can reactivate nerves, I quickly used it in the warm portable bathtub to relax for almost an hour, where I ended falling asleep for like twenty minutes, it was way too relaxing.

I wanted to go to the city, but my parents didn't allowed me, as they said I had to rest for now because of all I had gone through, so I ended being mostly reclused inside of my tent. It was still quite a nice day to just relax. Although… there were so many things going on, and so many concerns inside of my mind that it was getting very hard to relax.

But nonetheless, I decided to keep my mind calm as much as I could. Perhaps because I had a previous life where I went through a lot of nerve-wrecking things, I am quite resistant to it more than other children my age, such as Aquarina and Zack, who were so concerned about everything that they came to my tent to spend the day with me. Celica also came, as she had been quick to adapt to the tribe and decided to stick with us because we were the youngest kids around.

"Let's play teatime with mister teddy!" Celica said, annoying Zack and Aquarina.

"But Celica, we played that yesterday…" Zack sighed.

"Yeah… How about you take a nap instead?" Asked Aquarina.

"I don't want to nap…" Celica cried, as she ended sitting down near me and seemed a bit sad nobody wanted to play with her.

"Guys, don't be like that…" I sighed. "Aquarina, you were just like her back then, and I always played with you anyways. And Zack, you were also like her and we still ended bearing with you, right?"

"Err… Well, not like he had changed that much, we are not even nine yet." Sighed Aquarina.

"Eh? You're still just as annoying!" Zack angrily barked at Aquarina.

"Come on guys don't fight, you're scaring Celica!" I sighed while crossing my arms. "Okay Celica, let's play teatime."

"Really? Okay!"

At the end, I forced Aquarina and Zack to play with Celica for an hour and a half. She brought her own makeshift cups made out of wood that my father had carved for her in his free time, and a small little table she put over the ground.

I knew the hardships she had gone through, so I just wanted to make the little girl smile a little bit. Aquarina and Zack understood my intentions and ultimately ended joining the teatime more seriously.

At the end, Celica was happy and smiled, and she warmed up our hearts a bit. She got sleepy as well, so I brought her to my bed and she fell asleep quickly after. With her sleeping, we went outside the tent to practice some magic with my friends while looking at the horizon and the bright blue sky.

"Well, today's sure slow…" Zack sighed.

"Yeah, I really don't feel like doing anything either…" Aquarina said, looking at the sky.

"What happened two days ago was really something, huh? The worst part is this feeling of hopelessness… That no matter what, we can't do much at the end…" I sighed.

"Hmm…" Aquarina slowly got closer to me and then rested her head in my shoulder.

"I wonder what we will do now…" Aquarina said.

"Well… I suppose our parents will slowly rescue all the slaves first, that's a big priority. After that, they'll take down the underworld organizations, find the Abyss Calling Cult hideout, and destroy them. And then we'll probably bring the entire orphanage with us as well because I know my parents can't trust the people of this fiefdom…" I said, quickly imagining what was next.

"Can we go to the dungeon again, I wonder? After something so dangerous, I bet they will not let us go… I wanted to fight more and practice my skills and magic." Aquarina sighed. "I feel like the dungeon was the right place to slowly learn and grow…"

"Wow, that's quite out of nowhere, that doesn't sound like you at all." Laughed Zack.

"Ugh, shut up dork! You ruin my moment with Sylphy!" Aquarina angrily said.

"Haha… Calm down, it's fine, Aquarina. Don't be so grumpy." I said. "You really change how you are when dealing with Zack or me…"

"E-Ehh? I-It is just that Sylphy is Sylphy… And Zack is… most of the time, a jerk." Aquarina said angrily.

"All of that friendship just to go back to square one…" Ignatius suddenly whispered to me. He had been spying on my daily life for some time now, so I guess he knew about Aquarina and Zack's developing friendship.

"A-Anyways, we can always just continue to annoy our parents about the dungeon, they might eventually let us go again, although the Dungeon Break kind of worried them a lot. My mother in specific is the biggest worrywart you can imagine." I said.

"True, you're right in that." Zack agreed.

"Auntie Faylen really worries about everything a lot… She doesn't have patience at all either." Aquarina.

"Yes, yes, I know… You don't have to remind me of my grumpy mother." I sighed.

"Grumpy, huh?"

Suddenly, I heard the voice of my mother behind me…

When I looked behind me, I found her crossing her arms angrily.

"M-Mommy?!"

"Nothing of "mommy" here! You think I am grumpy, right? Huh?" My mother got grumpy.

"Err… Well, you're being grumpy right now." I said while fidgeting my fingers.

"I…!" My mother was going to argue with me but quickly realized she was indeed being grumpy.

"Sigh… Sorry, I know I might have… temperamental problems sometimes. Let's go make lunch, alright? I want you kids to help out, you can also slowly learn a bit more about Cooking Magic this way." My mother quickly led us to the large kitchen tent. There were several helpers here, not only her. Mostly members of the tribe, but recently other people that were former slaves began to help at cooking too.

But for now, I wanted to do something else…

"Alice, can you make Ember the new Leveling Skill?"

"Oh! Sure thing then…!"
