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

Chapter 713 Caught By Aquarina

?

-----

After checking on Violet's amazing status and her interesting new skills, I couldn't help but praise her a bit. She was also rather cute, like my own Pyuku, but in my cauldron.

"This is amazing!" I said in surprise. "Violet you're awesome!"

"Guuu!" Violet seemed happy, moving around. She seemed to be incapable of moving outside of the cauldron, it seemed to be part of her body, or something like a "shell" perhaps.

Though this makes me wonder about something. Will she melt into liquid whenever I use the cauldron to do alchemy or something? It does seems like she's a slime version of the Liquified Mana used to synthetize materials together…

Oh well, maybe-

"Huh?! S-Sylphy, why are you talking with your cauldron?!"

However, as I was about to try out the newly enhanced and living Alchemy Cauldron, Aquarina had woken up due to all the noise… I was a bit startled myself too.

"A-Ah! Aquarina, you woke up… I told you I was going to do alchemy…" I sighed. "Don't act all surprised now." I crossed my arms. For a bit, I realized I looked a lot like my mom.

"Oh, right…" Aquarina said. "Sorry… But what's going on anyways?"

"Guuu!" Violet waved her slimy hand at Aquarina to greet her.

"W-Well, she's Violet, the Alchemy Cauldron. Much like what happened with the bag, it seems I was somehow able to give it life? It evolved into a slime monster." I said in surprise. "It is now my Familiar too, hehe."

"E-Eh?!" Aquarina was shocked. "I see… So you can do this a lot, huh?"

"More or less. It is… well, I'll entrust this secret to you. It is a special magic I call "System Magic" which I've developed since I was young." I said with a smile. "It is… one of the secrets not even my parents know. They probably think it is a different type of magic."

"I-Is that so?" Aquarina was surprised. "System Magic…? How does it even works?"

"Well, it is like… giving a soul to something. But I call it a System. It allows these living and… not living beings to gain the power to grow stronger faster than normal and develop special abilities." I sighed. "I can't do it easily though, so I can only do this very few times… with long periods of cooldown."

"That's awesome!" Aquarina was surprised, and praised it, but interestingly enough, she didn't asked for a System at all, or anything of the sort. Knowing her I really thought she would get selfish and ask for one, but she as surprisingly calm about it. "I am happy you can trust me like this, Sylphy. I'll make sure to keep it a secret."

"Thank you!" I said, giving her a hug and kissing her forehead. "So how about we try this new cauldron?"

Aquarina looked at me with a bit of concern in her eyes, suddenly getting rather… serious.

"Oh, sure." She said with a smile, quickly changing.

What happened there?

"Huh? A-Are you okay?" I wondered. "You can't hide it from me! Are you worried?"

"A-Ah, is it too obvious?" She asked. "Yes, I am… a bit worried. Your power is amazing, maybe… too incredible. It makes me concerned about you… What if someone really bad finds out your powers and tries to take you away?"I think you should take a look at

"Well, they've been trying to kill us since we're kids, I doubt it'll change from that already. We're already future heroes so they're trying to hunt us down for that." I shrugged. "Knowing I have a special power won't suddenly make them wish to kill me even more than they already want to."

"Right…" Aquarina nodded. "Though I am still a bit worried."

"Worry not." I said with a smile. "If that ever happens, we'll be already super strong anyways."

"Geez, fine." Aquarina said. "It won't make me worry less, but I guess this is another reason to become stronger myself!"

"Don't push yourself too hard though!" I giggled.

"Y-Yeah… Heheh…" Aquarina giggled, fidgeting a bit.

She then glanced at me while we were sitting over the bed and our faces got really closer. Our lips touched and we started kissing for a bit. It was a slightly longer kiss than before. It was so warm and lovely, her soft lips, and her tiny tongue trying to touch mine almost desperately was really cute.

"Mooch, mooch~" She continued kissing my neck lovingly. "Did you like it? Mom and dad always kiss like that and I wanted to try it out…"

"It was really nice… T-Though a bit intense." I said. "Let's go easy for now…"

"T-Too intense?" She asked, getting redder. "I just… can't help to want to eat you up when I'm this close to you and we get all emotional and talk about loving and protecting each other… My heart beats really fast…"

"Oh… Hehe, mine too." I said, as we held hands.

Without realizing it, we were about to kiss again but…

"Guuuh! Mooch!" Violet started imitating us from afar.

"Geh, okay, let's get to work first…" Aquarina said, feeling cringe.

"Y-Yeah, kissing like this is not something we should do in front of others, hahaha…" I laughed a bit nervously.

"A-Alright then!"

We quickly moved to test out Violet, as I took out several new materials out of my Inventory, they were all the fire dragon ingredients. Aquarina had never seen them before, so she was naturally surprised.

They were the eight [Blazing Fire Dragon Flower (B Grade)], the twelve [Ancient Volcanic Dragon Flower (A++ Grade)] and a single [Ancient True Red Dragon Blood Bottle (A Grade)]. Aquarina was amazed, she was also able to detect the quality of items using magic, so she was shocked how amazing they were.

"W-What are these items? Did your parents bought them for you?" She wondered.

"Well… Not really, I acquired them myself. I've been… gathering them for a while. In the market." I said, lying.

"In the market, huh?" She didn't seem to buy it though.
