Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1288: Searching For The Hero



Although I wanted to go et the hero right away, it was better to get done with other business firsts. We decided to explore the city of Evercraft more thoroughly than before. In our first visit, we barely saw a few parts of it because Felicia was in a hurry to just get back to her house. And the reason why, is quite obvious now, she doesn't like being outside.

First, we moved to buy clothes. Felicia gave us so directions and nas, so we visited four different shops she had recomnded, which all dealt with textile manufacturing, clothing, fabric, and such.

Two of them only made raw fabric, but it was often tis magically enchanted and of very high quality... and cost. The other two, however, sold already made products, and looked very stylish, like no clothing store I've ever seen before.

The only ones that could even compare to the beauty of the building and everything inside were the ones at the Elven Kingdom's Capital. But even then, these had much more variety! Frilly dresses, big ponchos, large jackets, jean-styled pants, the first ti I see these, shorts, even swimwear! I didn't know why they had swimwear here when there was no beach...

But apparently, there are special, smaller, and controlled dungeons near the capital that have their own terrains and scenery, similar to mine. And a few of them had large lakes with tempered weather so people often tis went there to relax.

Anyways, I mostly bought things for the winter, such as jackets, ponchos, big puffy pants, and sweaters, they were made using magically crafted fabric using the fur and scales of monsters as their main ingredients, despite that, the texture was soft and nice to the touch of the skin.

For Celeste and Celica, I also bought them almost anything they felt like they wanted or liked, Celica bought herself a swimwear for so reason, she found one with frills and ribbons she really loved... Ah, and Celeste bought herself so lingerie, sexy, black lingerie.

She said it was because she was older than and she was already a young adult, and it was totally fine to wear that for pajamas instead... I suppose she's not wrong, I'll leave it at that.

But seeing that sexy lingerie made imagine Aquarina wearing those, and then I felt a bit lonely that she wasn't here with ...

At least, once we finished shopping, we moved straight to my goal, seeking the hero!

"Alright so where is this hero you're looking for?" wondered Celeste. "They're not in imdiate danger like the two Anima?"

"No, they're actually doing fine on their own..." I said. "So I don't know if I should really try to "recruit" them or sothing, but I want to have a talk with them, and et them. I don't know if we'll ever truly go against a Demon King. I would rather... try to rationalize with them. These are more peaceful tis, despite what others might think. But they're still soone blessed by a god, and I want to see if I can help them. After all, everyone that's blessed ets them first, and is told to defeat the Demon King. So perhaps this responsibility might be weighing over their shoulders."

"I suppose there's a lot of possibilities of what could happen..." Celeste nodded.

"I don't really like the Gods, they're weird and evil sotis..." said Celica. "I hope this Ruby person is fine and okay!"

"I'm sure they're okay... At least they're healthy," I sighed.

As we walked across the streets and gasped by the wonder of the city's beautiful buildings and constructions, we moved from street to street, following my Compass Eyes.

Until eventually, at the other side of a narrow street, I found it, a small smithy, at the corner of a darker alleyway, it wasn't as illuminated as the rest, so it was slightly obscure compared to the rest, and least seen.

"Oh, that must be a new smithy, I don't rember it being here..." my dad said. "Are they there?" he wondered.

"Yes, I believe so," I nodded.

We walked closer to the smithy, it looked open, it only had a very rough-looking na on it, made over so wooden table.

It was called...

"[Ruby's Fire Hands]" I said. "Alright, that's her na," I nodded.

"Her, so it's a girl?" wondered Celeste.

"Maybe a boy is called Ruby!" said Celica.

"We'll see once we get inside anyways..." I sighed.

I was slightly nervous, but I stepped forward, opening the door.

The mont we stepped in, a wave of heat washed over our faces, as usual with these smithies.

"Oof, that's hot..." I sighed. "Ah, hello? Soone there?"

I stepped inside, my friends slowly walking besides with dad behind us.

The entire smithy looked rather decadent.

Pieces of rusted steel over the floor, broken and badly crafted swords, axes, and shields.

Broken pieces of armor, dust everywhere.

Low quality ore pieces, very small ones.

Shattered fragnts of beast cores around the floor.

There were a few stone tables, rusted tools, and the smithy itself, blazing with fire as soone was making sothing.

Or well, trying to.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

She? Looked a bit frustrated, smacking at the piece of tal with her hamr, her Mana flowing out with a wild fluctuation, she was rather bad at it...

The piece of tal, which resembled a long blade, was slightly broken, and the cracks were growing wider, the heat was not distributed evenly, creating cracks very easily.

"Agh, dammit! It's not working?! But I have the... Ugghhh!"

She suddenly threw the half-assed sword into the floor on a fit of rage, and then sighed, dropping the hamr into the floor.

"Hahh..."

For a mont, there was only silence.

"Um... Hi?"

"HYEEH?!"

She cried the mont I talked, I imagine she didn't hear us entering at all, nor she heard

the first ti I talked.

"How did you get in here?! Who are you?" she wondered.

"Um... Wasn't this a smithy?" I wondered.

"Ah... R-Right, yeah! I-It's that..." she muttered. "A smithy... yeah! D-Do you want to buy sothing?!"

She quickly stood up, and was almost around my own size, only a centiter or two smaller.

And once she took off her mask and her protective clothes, a fiery red skin was revealed.

And crimson eyes, resembling rubies.

And... horns?
