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

Chapter 180 Pyuku Is Missing!

-----

Today in the morning the sky was clouded, and there was white and cold fog everywhere, covering most of the jungle mysteriously. There was also less amazon wandering around, most of them were confined in their tents passing the day in there.

We quickly reached Zack's tent, as we found him there.

Zack was sleeping right over a pile of monster pelts he called his "bed", it felt a bit weird to sleep in such a place to me, to be honest, but well, whoever likes whatever they like, I am not here to judge him for that… I guess.

"ZACK! Wake up!" roared Aquarina.

"Uwah! Agh! Let me sleep for a few seconds, would yo?!" roared Zack angrily.

Aquarina began to jump over him. She really was like the annoying little sister archetype for him.

"Aaagh! You're so annoying! Okay, fine! You win!" roared Zack angrily, waking up and crossing his arms.

Zack woke up energetically after Aquarina annoyed the living shit out of him.

"Good morning, Zack, ready to train hard today as well?" I asked.

"No, I want to take a break… Nepheline and Shade said I was only a kid, and that I need to rest sometimes, so I am taking this day leisurely!" said Zack.

"Me too, I hate training! I want to nap all day for once…" sighed Aquarina.

"Eeeh? You two are really hopeless… Sigh, okay then, let's just slack off today…" I said, as we began to walk back to Aquarina's tent.

"Slack off? You will probably swing your sword around and call that lazing around!" said Zack.

"Well yeah, that's how Aquarina is! She's a hard worker! I am trying to work hard too but I've done it too much…" sighed Aquarina.

"It's okay, I am swinging my blade and that's it anyways, so don't worry. Back home I often spar with my father daily." I said.

"D-Daily?!" asked Aquarina and Zack at the same time.

"Yeah, don't you?" I wondered.

"I-I don't spar with mama or papa daily…" said Aquarina.

"How can you bear sparring with a hero?!" asked Zack.

"Well, papa goes pretty easy on me all the time…" I said.

"Even going easy might be hard for someone so strong…" said Zack.

"Hmm… Maybe I should ask papa to spar with me daily as well! I cannot just slack off…" said Aquarina.

We reached the tent and sat down around a small table, as my mother and Aquarina's mother served us a warm stew for breakfast, the stew had a lot of different meats, potatoes, carrots, and even small noodles, it was flavorful and very filling~

We began eating it slowly with some bread, the relaxing and chilly morning went well with such a nice stew for breakfast, it made us feel rather relieved.

"So where's Pyuku at?" wondered Zack while we were eating.

"Pyuku is… Pyuku is…" muttered Aquarina.

"Eh? Pyuku? He actually slept with us and… Wait, I haven't seen him all this morning… W-where the heck is he?!" I asked.

"I don't know either! He should had woken up with us…" said Aquarina.

"What! So Pyuku just ran off?!" asked Zack.

"We don't know…" I said.

Really, we had slept with Pyuku. I remember that he rested over the bed with us when I slept at the side of Aquarina, so the slime should had been with us!

But it suddenly ran away from here and is somewhere else… what a pain.

Where did it even go?

Actually, where's my father and Aquarina's father too?"

"Where is father?" I wondered.

"Oh, this morning they felt like something was attacking their summons, so they went to investigate, and probably to slay the goblin king in the meantime." Said my mother.

"What?! And they take that as something simple?" asked Zack.

"Yeah? A Goblin King is not really much." Said Nepheline.

"It's not?!" asked Zack.

"Yeah, we can easily defeat those with our eyes closed…" said my mother.

"Oh…." Sighed Zack.

I guess they're the ones that defeated the Demon king, you can't really expect anything less amazing about them. But I am still worried, can they really handle everything fine? Ninhursag didn't lost against the goblins but had to use a lot of power to defeat them.

It seems that the goblin king and the champions can enhance their kin power through the roof, which seems pretty unfair to me…

Anyways, I am worried about Pyuku though… but maybe he's just a wild slime and now went back to the wild… I can't do much over it.

We spent only a bit over a day with him though, so I can't really say I grew closer to him as a pet…

But I wish he hadn't ran away like that, it just makes me a bit sad.

Maybe he'll be happier in the wild? If he escaped it seems to be the case.

? I can't really bring myself to just say "oh well, whatever" and turn over the page, I still feel a bit sad, maybe betrayed…

Zack didn't seem to mind Pyuku's absence, but he was the first one to notice it, and Aquarina seemed dispirited over it despite not having spent that long with the slime.

I suppose we all have different thoughts about him.

"Don't worry about your father, Sylphy, he'll come back later but he'll be fine either way, don't worry over him that much." Said my mother.

"Y-You're sure?" I asked.

"Well, I am also taking care of him, there are two spirits of my own side watching over his back." Said my mother.

"Oh, I see…" I said.

"Me too, I am always with my Shade using my spirits." Said Nepheline.

The Heroes spirits are obviously at Legendary level of power. That giant Phoenix, or the large floating eye that shots lasers, all of them are exceptionally strong beings, so having the backup of two of them for each of our fathers is pretty good, I suppose.

After having breakfast, I decided to bring stew to Ninhursag, who was still sleeping soundly in the tent without having woken up at all.
