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

Chapter 1067 Making Cream Puffs

-----

”Y-Yeah! Congrats, my little princess.” My father also hugged me tightly and gave me a big kiss in my forehead. ”Just go along for now, you know how your mother gets. Iʼll help her feel better, donʼt worry.” He whispered to me.

”Okay, be nice to her.” I whispered back, as I smiled at my mom. ”Mom! Iʼll help you cook some breakfast!”

”O-Oh, sure, dear. What are you making?” She wondered, she still felt slightly odd. ”Something Sweet? M-maybe?”

”Iʼll make your favorite ones. Cream Puffs with extra caramel on top!” I smiled sweet at her.

”Oh, those? Do you have the ingredients?” She asked. ”I donʼt have them in my pack…”

”I do! Donʼt worry, leave it to your daughter that loves you very much!”

I quickly started cooking, making the dough, then the cream, and preparing the oil to fry the doughnut-like delicious pastries.

Meanwhile, my father chatter with her while drinking tea, calming her down with his words. He might be a bit clueless about many things, but heʼs someone good with words.

Especially with his beloved wife, after living a lot of his life at her side, he knows whatʼs best for her, perhaps.

The dough is almost done, now, Iʼll use some magic to let the yeast make the dough fatter and bigger, while I prepare the caramel sauce by putting some sugar in the pan and adding a bit of warm water every few seconds.

The cream was almost done as well, a combination of egg and lots of sugar, combined with a few other ingredients to add flavor, and some flour as well.

The oil was piping hot, and by using the ”Life Enhancement” spell, the yeast quickly made the dough puffy. Perfect.

Now…

FRRSSSH!

I slowly put each doughnut-sized puff on the boiling oil, made of sunflower seeds, and as it was fried, I left the caramel sauce slightly warmed so it wouldnʼt harden right away.

At the sound of cream puffs being made, everyone quickly sniffed it and walked to the bonfire where I was preparing it all.

”Sylphyʼs making something!” Mist said. ”Smells good!”

”Good morning Sylphy! What are you doing?” Wondered Lara, licking her lips at my side.

”Hehehe, are you two hungry already? Iʼm making cream puffs my grandma taught me how to make.” I smiled. ”In the time she spent back home, I was able to learn some recipes from her! One of them is my motherʼs favorite pastries, cream puffs with extra caramel sauce.”

”Woah, that sounds delish!” Mist said hungrily. ”C-Can I have one?”

”Me too!” Lara said.

”Sure, Iʼll make at least one for everyone.” I nodded.

”Yaaay!”

The two girls leaped happily; they were our most gluttonous eaters in the team.

”Anyways, whereʼs Luck and Zack?” I wondered. ”Is Celeste and Celica still sleeping?”

”Yeah, those two are fast asleep!” Mist said. ”Hey Sylphy, can you teach me how to make these later too?”

”Sure, Iʼll teach you.” I nodded. ”And about the guys?”

”Ah, Luck went off to hunt something for breakfast.” Lara said. ”He said he would try to hunt those giant birds we occasionally see flying around…”

”Those giant birds?!” I asked. ”Wait, you mean the Sunstone Plateau Herons?! Those things are Tier 8, you know?!”

”I-I know, heʼs a bit crazy…” Lara sighed. ”Donʼt worry! If something happens, my spirits of the wind will drag him-”

”Uwaagh!”

BAAM!

And right as she said, Luck suddenly dropped right by Laraʼs side. I had no idea she had such control over spirits now they can bring people to her like this!

”Ugh… Why did you drag me?! I almost had it!” Luck sighed, feeling frustrated. ”Oh, hi Sylphy, Mist…”

”Hi… Youʼre all wounded, dummy Luck!” Mist sighed, quickly conjuring healing magic on him. ”Geez, youʼre as reckless as Zack!”

”Yeah! I told you the Herons were hard to hunt!” Sighed Lara, crossing her arms.

”Ugh, but I almost had it… I had copied its abilities with Beast Mimicry, and I could fly for a moment! But I sucked at it… And it was constantly pecking me.” Sighed Luck. ”Ugh.”

”Well, you did your best.” I shrugged. ”You shouldnʼt have gone against a Tier 8 monster on your own though!”

”But I… The Tiger told me that if I defeated a strong monster on my own, one that could fly, I could probably awaken a second spirit.” He sighed.

”Wait, really?” I asked him.

”Y-Yeah… There seems to be conditions to the awakening of the spirits after all.” He sighed. ”Iʼll need to just grow stronger then, thereʼs no helping it.”

Thatʼs interesting, I didnʼt know there were conditions to the Hero of Beast to unlock the other Spirits they could use.

This means the other Spirits might come with their own harsh conditions as well… Wait, how did he awaken his first one?

”Dummy, youʼll need to at least become Tier 6 like Sylphy in both magic circle and physique to face a Tier 8 monster on your own… And even then, I donʼt know.” Sighed Lara.

”Those conditions seem a bit harsh.” Said Mist.

”Wait, if you need conditions, what was the conditions for your first spirit?” I asked Luck.

”Oh, that…” Luck wondered. ”I think it was facing a foe several times stronger than myself alone… I did try hunting that Blazing Wild Boar that was a Tier 3 Monster on my own after all…”

”Really dumb! All to just prove he was strong or something!” Lara sighed. ”I should really have given him a smack in the head or something.”

”Come on, youʼre not my mother!” Sighed Luck, crossing his arms. ”Sylphy, the puffs youʼre frying theyʼre getting a bit darker…”

”Ahh!” I quickly flipped them over before they burned for real. ”Oof, almost ruined them… I was deep in thoughts about something.”

”Something?” Luck wondered.

”I think I can help you on doing that requirement.” I smiled back at him.

”Huh? But you canʼt intervene, nor your spirits!” He said.

”I know, so weʼll just do the second-best thing we can. Make you overgeared.” I giggled.
