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

Chapter 753 Teaching A Robot About Love

-----

Once the day came to an end, we had finished the entire city. I did my complete and utter best to repair as much as I could. The combination of Agricultural Arts, Earth Magic, Alchemy, and Endless Mana allowed me to repair almost every house and street very quickly! Though the aftermath killed me, I was too exhausted to even move.

And my soul was aching terribly, I needed some serious rest. Overusing Mana like this is… not healthy, ugh. But it is the least I could do for my citizens.

”I-Incredible, the whole city was repaired…” My mother said. ”I-I was busy doing paperwork but this is…”

”To be expected of my kids!” My father praised and Zephy. ”Well done you two.”

”I would had helped but I felt too tired.” Sighed Nepheline. ”Though, I canʼt believe you were alright after everything that happened, Sylphy.”

”Sheʼs certainly a powerful child.” Shade nodded. ”Well done as well, Aquarina, everyone.”

Like that, we had a break afterwards. I walked straight to my room and dropped half-dead over the bed. Today was sure just as long of a day as yesterday, ugh.

”Young Lady, Iʼve brought you some refreshments and snacks before dinner.” Nephilim came knocking the door, leaving a plate full of cookies and fruit juice over the little night table.

”Thank you Nephilim, you can rest for the rest of the day too, youʼve been working around the house all day, havenʼt you?” I sighed.

”Oh, it is nothing, itʼs the least I can do to repay for everything all of your family has done for me.” She said with a gentle smile.

”Ah, well, but you donʼt need to overdo it.” I sighed. ”Well, I canʼt say that they donʼt like you. The chef, maidservants and manservants all love you already…”

”Hmm, today a manservant suddenly gave me a red flower, milady.” She said expressionlessly, while eating a cookie. ”What does it entail?”

”Eh? He gifted you something?” I wondered.

I saw a red rose in her hand.

”The smell is soothing. He said he had fallen for me, but I didnʼt understood well.” She said, tilting her head. ”What does it means to fall for me?”

Wait, what? It has only been a little but two months and Nephilim already got a boy falling for her? Well, sheʼs certainly diligent, cute, and attractive.

Though sheʼs… well, what Alice calls ”robot”. An artificial living being, she also has no apparent sexual organs either, or sheʼs just what you see at first glance.

Her internal body, which I had investigated before through Mana Sense, is a very intricate series of mechanicals parts unified together and running using mana.

Her internal body is as complicated as some clocks Iʼve seen before.

But still, I guess it is fair to tell her that.

”I think I once explained it to you, about love, right?” I asked. ”That he fell for you means that he has fallen for your charms and beauty, and is in love with you, he loves you.”

”Loves me?” She wondered. ”How strange, I have only barely interacted with him, why does he feels that way? And it seems to be rather… misinterpreted too, because I donʼt love him either… I only love the young lady…” She seemed slightly saddened and confused.

”Hahah, it doesnʼt matter. You can still love someone that doesnʼt love you back.” I sighed. ”I guess he just wanted to get it off his chest. If youʼre going to reject him, be nice and polite about it, okay?”

”I understand.” She nodded. ”Though, does this means you do not love me back, young lady?”

”I… Well, of course I love you.” I said with a smile, giving her a head pat. ”Youʼre like… a sister.”

”A sister… Is that nice?” She wondered.

”Of course, it is as if I love you as my family.” I said with a giggle.

”Family…” She smiled lightly, and suddenly hugged me with her strong mechanized hands.

”Uwaah?! Nephi?!” I asked.

”Is this okay? I see your family hug you because they love you, milady. So I wanted to hug you too.” She said.

”I guess it is okay.” I sighed, hugging her back.

And then she suddenly pointed her lips towards mine.

”Uwaah! W-Wait, not that!” I said, quickly stopping her.

”Huh? Why not? You touch each other lips with Aquarina…” She said. ”Can I not do it too?”

”O-Of course not…” I sighed. ”Thatʼs only something reserved for Aquarina because sheʼs my girlfriend.”

”Oh, I see.” She nodded, understanding more. ”Iʼm sorry if I scared you…”

”Nah, itʼs fine.” I sighed, sitting down again.

”So can I become your girlfriend to kiss you?” She asked.

There it is again! Sheʼs mixing things a bit too much! That lack of common sense is even more dangerous than with Susanna…

”Nope, I can only have one girlfriend, so you have to respect that, okay?” I asked.

”Okay.” She nodded.

”Also, you canʼt be my girlfriend because the love you feel is that of family, not romantic. Romantic love is something that develops over many years.” I said. ”And it is much deeper. That boy was most likely not in love romantically, as he only liked your appearance.”

”Oh, I see.” She noted as well, while drinking the juice she brought for me.

”H-Hey! Leave some juice for me! Donʼt drink it!” I reprimanded her.

”Ah… I apologize.” She bowed. ”However, young lady, I do wonder, will I one day be able to develop romantic feelings?”

”Maybe?” I wondered. ”Well, who knows. For that youʼve gotta find and meet many people. Ah, and donʼt you dare fall for me, I am already compromised with Aquarina, okay? Make sure to take that into consideration.”

”I understand.” She smiled gently. ”I hope you and Aquarina can live happily forever.”

”Aww… Thatʼs so sweet coming from you- Uwaah! You ate everything?!” I asked, noticing she already ate all the snacks and drank all the juice…

”Sorry… I was hungry.” She apologized.

”Sigh… Well, itʼs fine.” I shrugged, taking out some fruit from my inventory. ”For now, Iʼve got some more work to do so, however. Time to upgrade some Skills!”
