Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 23 Goodbyes

-----

"I don't want to go yet… I want… to stay more with Sylphy…"

On the morning of the next day, Aquarina was crying while she asked her parents to stay here for a bit longer.

"Co on, Aquarina…" Shade said, letting out a sigh.

"Hehe. She seems to have taken a liking on you, Sylphy," Nepheline could not help but tell .

"Isn't there a way for her to stay here for a few more days?" I asked.

"Sylphy, don't be disrespectful. Aquarina's parents are busy. Unlike us, they have a whole town to protect," my mother told in response.

"Indeed. It's also because of that that they must return quickly. Not to ntion that the trip from there to here takes them around three days," father quickly added.

"Oh…"

Then again, even if Aquarina would be safe with my parents here, it's not like her parents would leave their child in a completely different house, right?

Plus, I'm also sure she would miss them. I don't think she would prioritize staying with , soone she just t, over staying with her parents.

However, her cute little face and her beautiful sapphire-colored eyes were tearing up so sorrowfully that it broke my heart.

She was being held by Shade as she extended her hand at .

"Sylphy…!"

"Calm down, Aquarina. We'll et again soon soday, don't be like this," I told her.

"Sniff… but we're fwends…"

"I know… since we're friends, our bond will still be there even if we're far away from each other, right?"

"Sniff… right…"

"You have to be strong! Whenever we et again, let's play a lot and enjoy ourselves!" I continued.

"Okay… promise?"

"Of course I do…"

I held her hand tightly as she smiled as her mother gently wiped the tears off her face.

"Honestly, we wish we could stay longer… but our town won't protect itself. My tribe is strong, but what if a thing like that fly appears near it? We'd rather not risk it… the world might be safe from the Demon King, but the remnants and the monsters are still around." Nepheline said.

"Indeed. Thank you for being our daughter's first friend, Sylph. We'll make sure to invite you for her birthday in a few months. And well… we'll try to co here once a month, perhaps," Shade told after that.

Once a month… only one day every month, huh… well, I hope Aquarina becos patient.

When we grow up, we'll be able to travel by ourselves and et more often.

"Well, although our territory is vast, it's not like we have to protect people like you guys. In fact, we could head to your town and visit you guys… we could even stay for a few days once a month. I think that would be better… right, Sylph, Aquarina?" father asked soon after.

As expected, my father is the best!

"Yeah, that sounds nice!" I replied.

"Oh, I suppose it would be a good experience for Sylph to see the outside world… we could head to your town next weekend, how about it?" my mother soon asked.

"Sounds great. We'll be waiting for you guys," Nepheline said, nodding in agreent.

"Indeed. Make sure to prepare well for the travel, though," reminded Shade.

"Yeah, we'll be ready by then." Father nodded.

"See, Aquarina? We can et in a week from now!" I told her.

Hearing that, Aquarina bead with great excitent.

"Really? I-I'll be waiting for you at ho!" she said.

" too! Ah! …Wait!"

I quickly headed upstairs into my room and grabbed a fairytale book before heading downstairs again.

"Here, take this! Hold it until we et again."

I gave her a small book nad "The Goldfish that Beca a Dragon". It was a fairytale that taught the value of effort, hard work, and perseverance to young children.

Aquarina liked it a bit, so I gave it to her.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah!"

"Thanks…"

"Such a cute little girl! Thank you for being so nice with our girl, it's as if you two are sisters already!" Nepheline could not help but chuckle as she kissed my forehead.

"Take care of her please!"

"Sure thing," said her mother.

"Very well. We must be off, then. It was good to et you, Sylph," Shade told as he petted my head.

"Thank you, sir. Have a good trip."

"We will."

After that, the mysterious Shade and Nepheline walked away with Aquarina after they hugged my parents rather tightly. Their bond as friends was clearly strong, forged from many battles.

Suddenly, Shade called upon sothing.

"Familiar Summoning."

FLASH!

Right outside the house, an enormous raven made of shadows erged from Shade's shadow, which expanded at an alarming rate.

The enormous creature was over 7 ters tall and had glowing bloodshot eyes. Not to ntion a powerful yet eerie presence…

"CRAA!"

It cried loudly as it sat down on the ground. Shade, Nepheline, and Aquarina soon sat down over its vast back before the enormous bird began to flap its gigantic wings, creating a small commotion around the place.

Amazing…

"We'll be waiting for you!" Nepheline said, waving her hand as Aquarina waved her hand at .

FLAAAASH!

With that, mother opened the barrier, and soon, the raven flew into the skies.

The creature slowly disappeared within the white clouds atop the sky. After a while, they were gone from our line of sight.

Damn… it would be scary to travel in such heights, but Aquarina seed pretty calm… Maybe she's used to it?

I wish my parents took to a trip sowhere!

Well, they'll do that the following weekend, so it's just a waiting ga at this point.

"And that's that… who wants so grilled boar steaks?" father asked.

"!" I replied with great fervor. In fact, I love wild boar at.

"There's a lot of cake left… we can also eat that for dessert," my mother said, holding in her arms before carrying inside the house, with father following after her.

As we entered the house, I could not help but feel a bit said. After all, I wanted to stay more with Aquarina…

But I suppose I should get over it. In over a week, the two of us will et again.

I have to make sure to prepare…

Co to think of it.

"How will we get to Aquarina's place? And where are we exactly?" I asked, curiosity taking over my mind.

"Oh, you finally wondered where we live." My father laughed.

"We live in a giant floating continent nad Cloudia," my mother replied rather casually.

Floating… continent?!

Are we literally high up in the skies?!

No wonder it's a long trip to here if Shade and Nepheline live down there…
