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

-----

"W-Wait, someone you love?!" Aquarina asked. "You mean… From the Demon Continent? Is it a slime or… No, wait a second! Is it that prince you saved back then?"

"Yes, our time wasn't that brief to me, that week felt very long, and important," said Pyuku. "So I kind of… I did a lot of things for him. He was my first friend, and someone… I've slowly begun to love the more I remember him. I think he's the only person I've ever felt this way. Someone I would sacrifice my life to save… After learning a lot of things with everyone here, I realized that might be love…"

"Uwaah! That's so cute Pyuku!" Aquarina felt happy, hugging him tightly. "I'm so happy you feel that way! Love is a wonderful thing isn't it? It fills your heart with so much energy and gives you the drive to do anything! We're similar now, hehe!"

"I-I guess…" Pyuku was embarrassed. "I want to meet Hellanova again and spend a lot of time with him… Ugh, even after all these years, I think about his smile and h-he was so cute…"

"Heheh! Right? That's how it feels to be in love," giggled Aquarina. "Well, I and probably Sylphy too, will do everything we can to help you met with him! And once together you can spend all the time you want together and cuddle and kiss and other things!"

"K-Kiss?!" Pyuku covered his face, his slime boiling and getting red in embarrassment. "I-I haven't even considered that!"

"Hahaha! You're so cute when embarrassed, that's new!" Aquarina giggled.

"Indeed, it's a rather new reaction," Undine agreed. "Anyways, I suppose you don't want to waste more of your time, kids. We should get moving, right? Todays' the last exploration before the inheritance trial."

"Yeah, you're right Undine," Aquarina said. "But even then I wanted to spend some time with you guys and just talk, without worrying about the rest of the world… even if for a bit."

"Aquarinaaaaa!"

"Aquarina! Are you there?"

Suddenly, as Aquarina talked with her familiars, she heard the voices of Silvia and Justicio calling for her from afar.

She realized her friends had come to pick her up this time instead, as she had taken too long to pick them up instead.

"Hey!"

She ran towards the entrance of her house's territory, finding them waiting for her.

"Took you long enough…" Said Justicio.

"Did you wake up late today? That's rare." Said Silvia.

"It sometimes happens," said Aquarina. "Yeah, I'm almost ready anyways. Wait a bit!"

She ran back to the pool, and then ran once more back to her friends, bringing with her familiars, carrying them all on her arms.

"I had to bring the whole party after all…!" she said, walking outside of the house's garden. "Let's go!"

"Haha, alright…" Justicio yawned a bit. "Do you have to carry them as if they were luggage though?"

"I have to!" said Aquarina, nodding. "They're my babies- I mean, my dear familiars!"

"Who are you calling baby? I'm older than you, young girl!" Undine said.

"I think I'm also older… haha…" Pyuku giggled a bit.

"Graaawrrr!" Leviathan was happy though, licking Aquarina's face.

"Heheh, you make a cute family," giggled Silvia. "Ah, right, Khepri, where should we go now?"

Khepri appeared out of the blue, greeting everyone.

"Hello everyone!" she said. "And yes, this is our last destination, here."

She showed them her map, showing a faraway red dot.

"Apparently my map has become better and more detailed. I can see there's some sleeping or old volcano in this area, which has some sort of oasis in the middle… Do you know what this place is?" wondered Khepri.

"Oh yeah, I know!" said Silvia. "That's the Sleeping Volcano Oasis, it's the closest to the village and where some people go fishing and to find Spring Water, which is good for making potions and stuff."

"Oh that one?" Justicio nodded. "I've heard it has a large forest around it, and that the place is like completely different than the dry steppes. One of the few paradises in here. I've heard there's some people living there too."

"Wow, more people?" Aquarina wondered. "I've never heard of that, who are they?"

"I think they're an old family," said Justicio. "They slowly made some kind of little village there. But they aren't too many. They assigned themselves as guardians of the Sleeping Volcano Oasis, and regulate that people doesn't overhunt or overfish in there."

"Makes sense…" Aquarina nodded. "Anything else?"

"Ah, I dunno, I've been there a couple of times with my family, swimming in the oasis is nice but they don't let you stay for too long!" said Silvia.

"Me too! The fish is really delicious over there!" said Justicio. "I really like it. But it's so rare and expensive…"

"Sounds nice! Then let's go, is there some sort of entrance fee?" wondered Aquarina.

"Not really, but if they deem you suspicious or that you've been there recently they won't let you in…" said Silvia.

"The family over there is super strong too!" said Justicio. "They worship some kind of Oasis Spirit of that place… And all of them wield Water Element aside from Earth Element, they're master of Swamp and Mud Magic."

"That sounds crazy! I want to meet them already!" Auqarina got excited. "Leviathan, can you bring us where Khepri is pointing?"

"Raawrr!"

Leviathan wagged his gigantic tail around happily, nodding.

"Good boy! Mooch, mooch!"

Aquarina patted his big head and kissed his snout, and then gave him a big water spirit crystal as a snack.

"Here."

"Rarr! Nam!"

Making crunchy sounds as he ate the crystal, Leviathan grew larger in size, for everyone to fit over his scaled back.

It was a bit rough to sit over him as he was so hard, but at the end they were forced to do so, Aquarina further wrapped her abyssal threads around everyone, so they won't fall as Leviathan traveled.

"Let's go!"

FLAAASH!

Within a split second, Leviathan moved at lightning speed across the skies, traversing Kilometers in mere seconds.

"Uwawaaahhh!"

"Uuggh! I'm never getting used to thissss!"

Silvia and Justicio were screaming while feeling nauseous already…
