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

314 The Little Demon And Her Big Sister

—–

When we walked outside with Aquarina, we reached the tent where we always have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to find the little Mist all woke up. She was devouring a large sandwich with meat and a lot of vegetables, mayonnaise, and cheese. Her large jaws were wide open, I remember she kept them tight shut to the point she looked like a little human girl, but when she opens them, it is quite clear she’s... not exactly human. Her several sharp teeth, which seem to be hundreds, adorable tore apart the sandwich as she was enjoying her meal, smiling cutely and perhaps creepily to some.

“Hehehe... Yummy! Auntie Fayshen thish ish the yummiesht food I’ve hash!” Said Mist while her four eyes seemed to enjoy the food.

“Is that so dear? I am happy you like it but please eat slowly, you will end up chocking or something...” My mother said.

“Don’t worry, Mist has eaten whole potatoes, she’s built different. Like a duck, she just swallows.” Said a mysterious girl I had not seen before; she was sitting at Mist side. She had long blue hair and sharp red eyes, and seemed oddly calm, while having a rather mature way of speech. I think she was a teenager, at least above ten years of age.

“Don’t shay dat, big sish!” Said Mist while furrowing her two pair of eyes above her larger eyes, which looked like eyebrows and seemed to work similarly too.

My mother was already being called an auntie, and she was smiling motherly at her side while preparing more sandwiches. My father and everyone else was sitting around the large table, and quickly greeted us when we came. I also noticed Zack sitting in silence, looking at Mist and the other girl nervously, he seemed mostly intrigued by how Mist jaws even worked.

“Oh, there she is, Sylphy, Aquarina! You took a long while, are you girls alright?” Wondered my father.

“Y-Yeah, sorry about that, I took too long on my bath, hahaa...” I laughed nervously.

.....

“Daddy who is she?” Wondered Aquarina, walking towards Shade.

“Oh, so she’s your daughter, sir.” Said the blue-haired girl.

“Well, she’s... I found her last night, she’s a friend of Mist, from the same orphanage. I asked her to stay the night with her and she just woke up with Mist.” Said Shade.

“Name’s Celeste.” Said the blue-haired girl. “What’s your name?” She smiled slightly, very calm and composedly.

“My name’s Aquarina... Nice to meet you...” Aquarina said rather shyly.

“Nice to meet you as well... And you?” Celeste quickly looked at me. Her eyes were piercing and intimidating, even if perhaps she didn’t meant to use them in such a way. I could feel something within her that I also felt within Mist... Since the blue demon emerged in my Soul Scape that I’ve begun to awaken weird powers related to the tribes that are referred as demons.

Is she a member of a tribe of people that are called demons too? But her human-like appearance is uncanny... Perhaps a half-demon? Unlike Mist she doesn’t have horns or anything that easily gives it away aside from her sharp red eyes.

“My name is Sylph, nice to meet you, Celeste.” I said politely, with a mild smile.

“Hm, you’re sharp. And your mana is... what...?! What sort of... mana do you have?” Celeste quickly analyzed me through an easy Spell that can read Mana Auras, and easily realized mine simply seemed to have... no apparent end.

“Well...” I muttered, thinking about an answer.

“Sylphy’s Mana is very large and regenerates quickly, she was born like that.” Said my mother. “Don’t worry, despite her power, she’s a gentle-hearted girl. She was the one that was able to hear Mist cries despite nobody of us being able to, she found her and healed her from the brink of death. I only regenerated her bones and lost tissue.”

“Oh, so it was her! You have my thanks, Sylphy.” Said Celeste, shaking my hands. “Mist, have some manners and say thanks to little Sylphy, she was the one that found you and rescued you.”

“Oh! You musht be the one that gave me the warmth...” Mist quickly ran to my side and hugged my belly. “Thank you! I am very grateful!”

She was so adorable that my heart was melting away... Despite her unusual appearance, she was like the cutest puffball you’ll ever met, no, even cuter, like a cute little marshmallow. Even her horns were beautiful, sharp, and looked like a cute ornament.

“No problem, I had to do the least I could to help you, dear.” I said. “I am happy you’re alright now... I feel so relieved...” I caressed her puffy and fluffy hair, as Mist giggled adorably.

“Hehehe, you’re gentle and nice! It hash been shome time shince I found people like that!” She said.

“...Really?” I asked. “Well, how about we eat for now? You must still be hungry.”

“Yeah!” The little Mist ran back to her seat, crawling over it and sitting there, devouring her sandwich.

I ended sitting in between Zack and Aquarina, as Zack and Aquarina immediately began to whisper things to my long ears.

“Sylphy, don’t you... get a bit scared by that girl’s jaws?” Asked Zack.

“Zack don’t be an idiot.” I sighed.

“A-Ah, I was just asking!” Said Zack while crossing his arms.

“But that girl... She has a weird look into her eyes.” Said Aquarina to me, referring most likely to Celeste.

“That’s just how she is... There’s different people all over the world, don’t be scared for red eyes.” I sighed.

“R-Right... Sorry, I didn’t meant it to say it like that...” Aquarina promptly apologized.

“Anyways, I heard you were in an orphanage, is that true?” Wondered my father, asking things to Celeste and Mist.

“Yeah, we live there with a few other kids and nuns... It is a mostly peaceful place, but the thugs of the red light district are surely an annoyance... Ugh. Well, not like I can’t stop them, but sometimes they... dare do such things to us, like it happened to this goober yesterday.” Sighed Celeste. “I can’t forgive myself... While she was suffering, I wasn’t able to stop them. I wasn’t there... What if nobody came to help her? Mist would had...”

“Don’t be shad, Big sish!” Said Mist. “I’m okay now!”

“Mist...”

Mist was way too cheerful, even the serious Celeste ended calming down before her smile.
