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

Chapter 1157 Back Outside, Friends And Slime Disputes

?-----

There were many Traits available, some were useful and others not so much. I browsed through them, looking specifically for those thatʼs strengthened the Civilization Deity, and found a couple. They were all very expensive though, and none were as good as the one I had acquired previously. I could waste away some EXP getting a few, or I could just save it for later Dungeon and Civilization Upgrades.

So yeah, I decided to withdraw my ”money” and save for later. The Civilization Shop is tempting though, but because everything is related with the Civilization, it isnʼt as if I can buy something for myself, it is all for that Civilization benefit. It is up to me how I can make it become my power as well. But the bonus stats really help, yeah.

Once we were back outside, the first thing we heard was Zack calling for us, apparently for the third time today. He looked rather annoyed.

”Hey you two! Are you going to keep making out or are you coming to eat breakfast?! Iʼll give Mist all your pancakes if you donʼt come!” He said with a mocking voice.

”Weʼre coming!” I cried.

”Wait, donʼt give her the pancakes! Sheʼll eat them too fast! Sheʼs like, very voracious!” Aquarina cried as well.

We ran outside the tent, greeting Zack who was just sighing after we finally walked outside. He looked at us into the eyes.

”You two, seriously… I know you two are girlfriends now and even engaged for future marriage. But you need to calm down a bit, alright? Donʼt spend too much time doing your stuff, or youʼll end up skipping breakfast, lunch, and dinner all the time.” Zack was reprimanding us for being too horny.

”Hey! We werenʼt doing any weird stuff; we were inside of Sylphyʼs Dungeon helping her civilization.” Aquarina said, smacking his head. ”And itʼs not like youʼre innocent either.”

”Ouch! Hey, did you had to be so rude?!” Zack groaned. ”Come here!” He smacked her head, only for Aquarina to smack his back, they love acting childishly.

”Why are you hitting a lady you monkey boy?!” Aquarina kept smacking his head.

”Agh, you brute gorilla girl!” Zack groaned.

”Hahaha! Enough, stop fighting you dummies.” I stopped them. ”Letʼs just go eat.”

We regrouped with everyone else, as my friends, our parents, and Sphynxiette and her group greeted us. The wetlands were as beautiful as ever, and today was a sunny day, without any clouds in the sky. It looked like a much more radiant place than before.

”Welcome back you two! We were almost done with breakfast.” My father greeted us.

”Good morning dear.” My mother kissed my forehead. ”Come eat already please, weʼre departing soon after eating. We need to find the slimes and then get back to our vacation house. I want to spend the last days sleeping there at least.”

”Gotcha mom, sorry for taking so long~” I asked for forgiveness.

”Itʼs fine, just eat for now girl.” She smiled, patting my head.

”Aquarina! You should let Sylphy breathe sometimes, you know?!” Suddenly, Nepheline was reprimanding her daughter. ”I know you love her a lot but at least let her come eat breakfast!”

”What?! I havenʼt done anything!” Aquarina complained.

”I know when youʼre lying Aquarina!” Nepheline sighed, crossing her arms. ”I know you two are in that age, but I am fairly sure youʼre the one that is pushier in the relationship. I know my daughter.”

”Gods! Youʼre embarrassing me, mom! Stop it!” Aquarina felt all embarrassed, covering her face as she sat by my side. ”I just went to Sylphyʼs Dungeon! It wasnʼt anything that you thought about! Right Sylphy?”

”Y-Yeah, sorry… We were taking care of the dungeon and the monsters and stuff.” I said. ”Sorry.”

”Hmph…” Nepheline gave me a half-heartedly look, squinting her eyes. ”…Alright.”

”You donʼt need to be so harsh on the girl…” Shade tried to calm her down, as he gave Nepheline some shoulder massages.

”I know but sheʼs too pushy sometimes, right? Poor little Sylphy canʼt catch a break with this brute.” Sighed Nepheline, waving her head.

”Hahaha, just ignore her.” I told Aquarina. ”She loves you and worries about you, but itʼs fine. Itʼs not what she thinks.”

”Hmm…” Aquarina got a bit grumpier. ”I guess! But she should try being nicer and if she wanted to talk about this she should do so privately! Not in front of everyone, ugh.”

”Itʼs not like we donʼt know about that stuff already.” Celeste smiled with a teasing smirk.

”Ugh, shut it!” Aquarina groaned, about to throw her a piece of bread in her face, but Pyuku stopped her.

”Aquarina, donʼt waste food…” He said. ”Be nicer with people! Like you were nice with me.”

”Pyuku… Ugh, ok. But she was clearly not being nice!” Aquarina barked, still throwing the bread on Celesteʼs face and making her fall off her chair.

”Agh!”

”Big sis!”

Mist and Celica went to help her stand back up as Celeste sighed.

”Nah, donʼt worry, Iʼm used to the gorilla.” Celeste shrugged, grabbing the piece of bread and taking a bite. ”So weʼre just picking the rest of your pals, Pyuku?”

”Yeah, thatʼs the plan!” Pyuku nodded. ”Everyoneʼs excited! I feel them living right below that weird tree over there! So we just have to pick them up and weʼre done. I donʼt sense any monster or something below, and no ruins either. So itʼs a safe place.”

”Finally your people are living inside a relatively safe place for once.” Zack sighed. ”The first two times… Werenʼt that good.”

”Y-Yeah, we are not well known for making brilliant decisions, but we survive nonetheless!” Pyuku nodded.

The rest of the slimes were formed into large groups eating food and talking in their cute dialect. The ones from the grasslands and the ones from the desert were rather culturally different. The ones from grasslands were much friendlier and slightly childish, while the desert ones had a slight sense of superiority for some reason, and judged others based in their colors.

If they had bright colors they treated them better, but if their tones were darker, they actively showed their dislike for them. It is nothing too extreme, at the end of the day they still protect and look for one another.

But even then, I never thought I would see racism between slimes, but here we are.
