Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 21 Birthday Gifts

------

The red jewel necklace I was gifted held special magical properties. According to my parents, it was specifically made by soone that my parents knew, who they called a Magic Jewel Maker.

From the looks of it, this red jewel seems to be so sort of high-quality magic material, possibly possessing quite a lot of mana and magic within it. Surprisingly, at the very mont I put it on, I felt a sudden soul connection with it. The word mystical would definitely sum up the feeling I got.

Soon, a glow of fiery red covered my neck before enveloping my face for a short instant. At that point, it was as if it covered my entire soul with a perable mbrane of magical fire, only to settle down at the end.

What was that? Perhaps this necklace can enhance my fire magic? With that question in mind, I tried to ask my parents about it as I ate cake.

"Yeah, it's special. It can enhance the power and manipulation of your fire magic, dearie. We paid for it to be tailor-made so only you can use it," mother replied.

"In other words, if anyone tries to take it away from you, the necklace might attack them," father said, continuing where mother left off.

"Eh?! That scary?"

"On top of that, it's connected to your soul now that you wore it. Even if you take it off, you can still find it if you lose it through the soul connection," mother added.

Well then. That's very convenient.

"It's a powerful accessory made with the red dragon's magic crystal, bathed in its blood for a long ti before being compressed through alchemy with many other materials. It's definitely topnotch craftsmanship," father told soti later.

"Who made it?" I asked.

"A good old friend of us. They call her the Witch of the Blue Mountain. She lives too far away from here, which is why she couldn't co. However, this gift we gave her the materials for was made by her for free, so it's also technically her gift to you," mother answered.

"I see… I want to et her and thank her…"

And maybe learn magic from her as well. Of course, I kept that to myself.

"Oh, don't worry. You'll eventually et her one of these days, dear… how's the cake?" mother asked.

"It's delicious! Can I have seconds?"

"Hahaha! This girl has quite the appetite. Little Aquarina can barely eat a plate…" Nepheline could not help but say in response to my request.

"She's definitely a little eater," Shade said while patting his daughter's head.

"Cake is good…" Aquarina said. She was a bit ssy when she was eating by herself. Her face was slightly covered with cream actually… now that I think about it, she looked so cute and clumsy…

"I am glad you like it, dear," my mother replied to Aquarina's complint with a smile.

Moving cake aside, there were also the earrings gifted to by Aquarina. They also held a strong magical power within them, but I couldn't wear them yet because I haven't pierced my ears yet. Mother told I could do it a few more years from now, telling that she didn't want to do it too young or else the pain would bother a lot…

Well, I actually think I can bear the pain since I am already quite tough.

Anyways, Aquarina's parents told these earrings were made using the magic crystal of a monster my parents fought in the past with them and the other Heroes nad Leviathan, the King of the Sea.

It was a powerful Demon General under the Demon King who ruled an area of the sea. It was a dangerous creature and due to it being a battle in the oceans, it was a very tough fight. However, they had to defeat him if they wanted to cross the oceans and reach the Demon Continent where the Demon King was hiding.

Such a wondrous story, it felt like it was pure fiction. But lo and behold, it had actually happened. In fact, I can already confirm it happen after seeing all these fantastical things.

Nevertheless, all they've gone through in the past was so amazing. It's like an epic tale a child would listen to before going to sleep.

And to think these earrings were made from the parts of this mighty and gigantic snake-like sea creature… from what I could sense, they contain very strong Water-attribute mana from within.

I do wonder if I can wield Water attribute… I'll have to try it out soday. Then again, thanks to the system and the Ember skill, I'm obviously more proficient with Fire.

Perhaps learning other elents wouldn't be impossible… nevertheless, they'll be pretty hard. But I think these earrings would be able to help in that aspect… Damn it, why did they have to make them into earrings? If it was a ring, I could have worn it right away…

Oh well, I shouldn't be ungrateful. I bet they wanted to look pretty in these blue earrings… And to be honest, I also like how it looks. In my previous life, I didn't have ti to properly enjoy my life nor be as feminine as I wanted to be…

With that in mind, I'll try to enjoy my feminine side so more in this life, if possible. Letting my hair grow longer, wearing cute dresses… it'll definitely be fun.

Oh right, Shade and Nepheline revealed their titles to when I asked them.

"I used to be the Hero of Dark Shadows, but I dislike this title," Shade told .

"And I used to be the Hero of Rock Hamr! Just so you know, I'm very proud of this title. In fact, it made my entire tribe very proud!" Nepheline said soon after.

They're indeed quite different from one another. Shade's very silent and reserved at tis, often having a dead-serious expression on his face, bordering expressionlessness most of the ti. Then again, when Aquarina's around, he completely changes. She's definitely his weakness, that's for sure.

On the other hand, Nepheline's very open, tends to laugh a lot, and talks very loudly. She's prideful as well as emotional. In fact, one can clearly see what she's thinking just by looking at her face expressions. I suppose that's the reason why they fell in love with one another? Because they complented each other's personalities? I don't know.

After the celebration of my birthday, we rested for a bit as my parents went and chatted with their friends.

As for , I went to my room with Aquarina, showing her my books.

"Wow… you already know how to read…?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's not so hard…"

The language of this world looked pretty similar to the one in my previous life. However, the books I have right now aren't that interesting. They're just little fairy tales.

"Want to teach you? Let's try to read together."

"O-Okay…"

Uwah… she's such a cute little cinnamon roll…
