Chapter 648 A Gift For My Cute Girlfriend

Ignatius and Furoh didn't had much of a choice, even less Beelzebub. Both Ignatius and Beelzebub were long dead anyways, and their only option to "resurrect" was by becoming my Spirits. Furoh agreed to this so he could hide from people as a familiar, but ultimately ended benefitting a lot from this by gaining mana constantly and then ultimately a system that helped him evolve further.
So I guess our relationships are more like dependent in one another. I get their support and amazing powers, which have boosted my total strength through the clouds and their support which have helped us through countless battles, and they get my endless Mana and many other benefits, such as the System, or keeping them alive to begin with.
And Scarlet is… a first. She's an evolving weapon which is my Familiar too. I think I might have room for a few more, equipment-based Familiars use a very small amount of Soul Requirement, so I might even be able to get a whole set of equipment with a System and as my familiars.
Though for now… I should probably ask Nephi to be my Familiar later today.
And just by checking this Sea Snake Bracelet through the system window that showcases the items inside the Dimensional Bag, I can tell it is a pretty good item.
It is C+ Grade and it shows, it grants a nice bonus to Magic Power and Mana, and has a Skill named [Sea Snake's Fangs] which summons these fangs as a magical attack, or that can also be merged with a physical weapon attack.
Though I feel like it might go better with Aquarina, the more she gets a boost to her primary water element, the better, right? Hmm… I'll make her a better and prettier ring later for her birthday, so gifting this to her would be nice.
Though can I even gift items made by the System to others? I wonder…
When everyone was almost getting done eating our delicious lunch, I quickly brought out the bracelet, giving it to Aquarina.
"Here. This is a little item I saw, it seems the Sea Snake dropped it after we defeated it…" I said while pretending that such a thing wasn't a big and fat lie.
"Oh?! Monsters in the dungeon have barely dropped items, it's really rare!" Aquarina said in surprise. "A-Are you sure you want to gift it to me Sylphy?"
She felt a bit surprised. Equipment found inside dungeons was extremely rare and often highly valuable because it came with special enchantments never seen before in any other place, usually referred as "Ancient Relics" that the gods left out.
We had already acquired another relic, that strange item that the Sea Goddesses had left behind, it seems to only react to Aquarina, but it holds a great deal of Divine Power, though we have no idea how to use it.
This bracelet is not really a relic, it just a special equipment materialized through the System's powers.
…Wait, wouldn't that make it a god relic then? After all the system was made by a God and all.
Nah, I shouldn't really worry.
"Nah, it's fine, you can keep it." I said with a nod, giving it to her anyways. I decided to equip the Coral Shield as well. "I also got this shield from the coral golem, but I'll be keeping it, nobody here uses shields, right? I've got a free arm so I'll keep it for now."
"Sure…" Zack said. "Though don't go around hoarding stuff the monsters drop!"
"Hahah, it's fine, she deals the most damage most of the time so I think she deserves them." Celeste seemed fine with anything to be honest.
"Well Sylphy helped us buy new equipment earlier today, so its all fine by me!" Mist agreed.
"W-Well, alright!" Aquarina ended happily taking the bracelet off my hands, quickly equipping it.
FLUOSH!
An aura of Oceans and Water immediately emerged from the bracelet, coating Aquarina's body and merging with her magical power. I saw as her strength slowly began to increase. It seemed to have worked wonders.
"ROOAAR!"
Even the shape of a sea snake emerged made out of her magical aura, wrapping around her body as if trying to protect her. This was the bracelet's skill, and it helped her parry magical attacks and enhanced her water and ice attribute magic power and conjuration speed.
"This is amazing! It is imbued with so much magical power… It is really a relic of the gods…" Aquarina felt moved. "Y-You're giving me something so valuable, Sylphy…" She felt slightly guilty. "I'll make sure to treasure it!"
She hugged me tightly, as she gave me a kiss in my nose.
"Ahahah… I-It's nothing." I said while feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Look at those two, so shameless." Celeste began gossiping.
"They're very lovey dovey." Giggled Mist.
"They just don't even care about hiding it anymore, huh?" Zack sighed.
"Master, what is this expression you're using constantly with Aquarina?" Wondered Nephilim.
"H-Huh? T-That's just kissing… It is done when… we appreciate and love someone a lot." I explained to Nephilim.
"Appreciation and love…" Nephilim began wondering, her multi-colored eyes shining brightly. "I see… I've understood. Then master, can I kiss you?"
"EH?!" I felt a bit shocked.
"W-Wait, hold on! O-Only I can…!" Aquarina quickly protested. "And maybe her family…"
"Heheh…" Nephilim suddenly began laughing. "That was a joke, my first successful joke, master!"
"Oh…" Aquarina and I were left a bit speechless, while our friends glanced at us with teasing smiles.
"…I did teach her about jokes, right…" I said while remembering that time, some days ago when I told her about making jokes and stuff.
"Sigh, that really got me… concerned." Aquarina sighed.
"Afraid someone's going to steal her from you now?" Laughed Celeste.
"Ugh… Shut up, Celeste…" Aquarina grumpily said, as I calmed her grumpiness with head pats, as we made our way downstairs.
My Aquarina's really way too cute, even more when she gets all jealous~
