Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1410: Helping Ruby Start A New Life



(Sylphy's POV)

After what happened with Ruby's father, we made our way through the city, trying to make

her feel better and calm her down. Surprisingly, she cald down very quickly, despite having been crying a minute ago.

"I'm fine, thank you," she sighed. "I've dealt with this so many tis already that... Ah, I've grown a bit dull to this. I cried yeah but that's about it..."

"Are you sure?" I wondered. "Really?"

"Yes, yes, don't worry," she nodded, smiling a bit. "Thanks for helping out... I-I... It's complicated..."

"Yeah, it sure is," said Celeste. "I'm fairly sure you're stronger than your father. You could have kicked his ass, why did you let him hit you?"

"Because it's... I don't know, I just don't feel strong when he starts saying those things..." sighed Ruby. "It's pathetic, right?"

"Hmm... I don't know about that, but I think it shouldn't matter anymore, your dad won't be living with you again!" said Celica.

"Yeah... I an, sure," I nodded.

I still felt a bit conflicted about the whole thing, what her father had done to her shouldn't be allowed anywhere. Is there no law or sothing that would punish a father for dostic violence of this magnitude?

This city sure looks nice and clean, but I guess these family problems are not sothing they want to show in the surface... Perhaps it goes the sa way for any place in the world.

At the end, its complicated, and not sothing that can be resolved with strength, it's all about ti, mutual understanding, and everything else.

"Before going, I have another place I need to visit," said Ruby. "It's the Demon Community I told you about. It's pretty sizable around here... My uncle lives there, I used to visit him a lot back then, but I started feeling bad about receiving his money... so I haven't visited him in almost a year."

"So that's how it is..." I nodded. "Demon Community, huh? Would you girls like to go there?"

"Sure," shrugged Celeste.

"Yeah! I wonder how many demon tribes are there!" said Celica.

"Calm down, it's not that diverse in that aning," said Ruby. "There are mostly red and blue Oni. They are the tribe that ca could resist the cold the best. There are Anima living among the Demons as well. Well, there are so oddballs here and there. Like, I rember seeing soone like you, Celeste. People with blue hair and long tails with a needle on them."

"Huh? My kind?" Celeste's uninterested face quickly changed, showing so curiosity. "Really?"

"Yeah, they call them Tail Demons, but we don't really know what their tribe is called," said Ruby. "Anyways, it's over there... I'll lead you."

Ruby cald down a lot more, it was as if what happened before had never actually happened. We followed her lead as we made our way through many streets, dwarves, anima, humans, demons, and a few elves walked across every area.

Dwarves were the largest population, followed by elves and then humans, however, as we made our way deeper into these areas of the city, which were called "Scarlet House District" demons and anima beca the majority.

Red and blue-skinned people walked around, many with horns over their foreheads, so were small, while others had very long, spiraling horns. Each person had different horn shapes, and also height.

It was clear, the most "pure-blooded" Oni were tall, burly, and had rough-looking faces, the n in specific were very intimidating to look at, with big tusks coming from their lower jaws and sharp, crimson eyes, so being as tall as two ters and a half, if not a bit more.

The houses here were much larger as a result... I also noticed a clear difference between the Blue and the Red Oni. The forr were lankier and had much slimr, taller bodies. Their skin seed very blue, and I think they were capable of withstanding if not controlling cold temperatures as a natural ability.

anwhile, the Red Onis were burlier and larger, more intimidating looking, also they had very high body temperatures, I think this is how both races could withstand the cold here so well.

Blue Onis are simply immune to the cold due to their innate abilities to control it.

anwhile, Red Onis can resist the cold because their body temperatures are incredibly high! Fascinating...

However, the "pure-blooded" were very rare, there were now a lot of mixed-race people. The majority being mixed with dwarves, there were almost none mixed with elves or humans. Looks like only dwarves seed more open minded about having a demon wife or husband, and have a child with them, perhaps their personalities are quite similar.

By just walking by, I could hear the laughter of the demons and anima, the animal people were also quite populous here, mostly white foxes, with their insulating white fur, gray wolves who were large and capable of withstanding the cold easily, white bears who were huge and even more protected, and reindeers, with soft fur and beautiful antlers.

Seeing how dwarves had similar personalities, I guess its quite easy to guess why they would mingle together and also end up having mixed children... But there was more, there were also half anima and demons, and also blue and red Oni hybrids.

Maybe it's weird I obsess so much about this level of diversity and different people... but it's quite amazing, I like seeing different people.

And then there's Ruby, she's also mixed race, dwarf and red Oni I believe, but it's weird, I never thought the Gods would bless soone with demon blood.

"Ruby, I was wondering, was your mom also a Red Oni?" I wondered.

"Ah, yeah," she said. "Not entirely, she was half-Red Oni, her dad was a Reindeer Anima."

"Ooh!" I was shocked. "Really? Then you're...?"

"I never awakened any appearance of Anima, so I think I just skipped that part of the family," Ruby said. "But when I was little I looked almost the sa as a dwarf, though my skin was a bit redder than others... I think the Gods must have not realized I had demon blood. When I reached puberty, I began growing horns, my body got a bit bulkier, and my skin redder... But the blessing was already given."

I can't believe it... the gods mistakenly gave their blessing to soone carrying the blood of

what they spite the most.

I bet they feel terrible.
