Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1413: A Great Uncle



As I enjoyed the green tea and the snacks, I saw Onikawa talking with his niece. It seed that Ruby and her uncle were very connected, it made happy they had a strong family bond.

"So you're going to live with their master, who is the Hero Felicia?!" Onikawa scread. "My niece, you better not screw this up! This might be your biggest ever opportunity in life!"

"I-I know! I'll do my best uncle! I-I'll make the family proud!" Ruby nodded, she looked full of resolve. Her uncle's really nice, I guess it's good she at least has a family mber that cares for her.

The Oni Tribe also seed to have a way of speaking, like... They truly value pride and honor above all things, almost at the sa obsessive level as elves and maybe dwarves.

They're also very talented at craftsmanship now that I think about it.

"Sir Onikawa, I wanted to ask, did you visit the Demon Continent before?" wondered Celica curiously.

"I was wondering the sa, seeing how you talk about what the Onis had or not back there..." said Celeste.

"Oh! Well, I did go once," he said. "A while ago though, it was a visit of like... three years. It was an idea from my mother. We went there with my sister, Ruby's mother. And learned more about the culture of our tribe. They prospered in the Old Snowy Mountains of the Continent, right below them there were a lot of water canals and a slightly sunny temperature, it was very damp, ideal for rice to grow everywhere. So we learned why rice was so beloved by our family, haha."

"So amazing... I wish I could visit the Demon Continent once!" said Celica.

"Eager to et your ancestors, little Celica?" laughed Onikawa. "Unfortunately the demon tribes were never truly unified, they're spread everywhere, it is very hard to find them, aside from very large communities that preferred to remain together. We Onis are one of the few that are like that."

"I'm a bit jealous of your tribe now, Ruby," Celeste smiled, crossing her arms. "They're cool." "Hah... Well, they're not bad," Ruby sighed.

"Not bad?! We are excellent, right?" Onikawa wondered.

"A bit rough around the edges sotis..." Ruby averted her gaze from her uncle.

"A-Ah... Well, so are quite the brutes... Yes, but those old n are slowly changing anyways," laughed Onikawa. "Anyways! I guess I shouldn't be making you wait any longer. If you want to go back ho already, feel free. We've talked enough, I believe. Thanks for not forgetting this old man, Ruby."

"Of course I wouldn't forget you uncle, you're my family," Ruby smiled cutely, hugging her burly uncle, who even lifted her up with his large arms.

"Aren't you a small girl, Ruby? Hahaha! Look how easy is to lift you!" laughed his uncle. "I-I'm not a kid anymore, uncle!" she pouted. "Don't lift like a baby!"

"What?! But you used to love when I carried you piggyback," her uncle complained.

"T-That was years ago!" Ruby was growing embarrassed. "E-Enough, you're embarrassing in front of my friends!"

"Haha, fine..."

As her uncle let go of her, he nodded, quickly running to the kitchen while telling us to wait a bit, and then coming back with two huge paper bags.

"Here, there's more rice crackers here and the few last Mochi I had. There are also so green tea bags, please take them with you as souvenirs!" he said. "Also I'm sure my niece will miss this food."

"Oh wow, thank you so much!" I happily received the food.

"Wait uncle! What about you? do you have enough food even?" Ruby wondered.

"Ah I'll be fine, tomorrow I can go buy so more," her uncle shrugged. "Anyways-" "Here!"

Before he was to say farewell, I offered him my own food, over the table, I placed a huge wooden box full of tropical fruits from the third floor of the dungeon and vegetables freshly harvested from the farms of the first floor of the dungeon.

"Please take these, they're my own products!"

"W-What?! So many fresh fruits and vegetables! Aren't these expensive?!"

"Nah, don't worry Sir Onikawa. Take them and enjoy them too. Your food is delicious, but I couldn't help but think it didn't have enough nutritional value, so eat veggies and fruits too!"

"Well then! I guess I can't really fight against that logic! Hahaha! Thank you, little Sylphy!" he patted my head. "I'll be taking them! No take backs, right?"

"Don't worry!" I giggled.

After that, Onikawa opened the large door for us.

"Take care! Please co visit from ti to ti or I'll feel lonely, you know?"

"Yeah, yeah! Take care uncle!"

Ruby waved her hand as we also said our goodbyes, quickly making our way to the city's airport, we chatted along the way. The tense atmosphere provoked from Ruby's father had completely faded away when we t her uncle, a complete opposite of her father.

He was a carefree man, yet he was also a hard-working artist, soone that lived on his own and seed happy as he was. He loved Ruby as if she were his daughter, and was very welcoming too, and very talkative!

Above all, he didn't call Ruby a boy either, he must have seen her before she fully accepted herself as a woman and started dressing and looking like one, yet he accepted her new identity without any problems.

"Yeah, uncle is... a good person," Ruby smiled lightly. "At this point, I've grown so dull to insults and everything, that I don't really care if others misgender . But uncle never does that! He's really a great person... he acknowledges my identity and everything."

"I bet your mom was a bit like him?" I wondered. "Like two peas in a pod?"

"Hahaha, yeah!"

Ruby laughed out loud, resembling her uncle's laughter, and maybe her mother too. I guess it

runs in the family.

"They got along so well together!" Ruby sighed with a smile. "I... I miss my mom."

Then, things beca silent, as she started looking down for a little while.

Dang it, okay, let's not bring her mother for now.

"Anyways, wanna see sothing insane?" I asked.

"Huh? More insane than before?" she wondered.

"Yep! Phoenix! Co out!" I said.

FLUOOOSH!

And then, Ruby's eyes widened as a giant Phoenix materialized.
