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

Chapter 917 Visiting Azurite Port And Auntie Aina's House

-----

We arrived at Azurite Port by the evening when the sun was already slowly falling from the horizon. The atmosphere has been a bit less tense, but Aquarina and her mom had not even gave a glance to one another.

Meanwhile, my mother and my father had been trying to cheer up Nepheline, me and my friends have been trying our best to make Aquarina feel better, it has worked, as we simply chatted, played with magic, read books, and did some alchemy to pass time and let her forget what happened, even if for a bit.

The port city was much more beautiful than we expected, as we walked down from the airship, we were greeted by an absolutely beautiful scenery, white-colored houses that seemed to have been shaped out of the white marble stone growing in these areas decorated the port beautifully, with many different shapes I never thought houses could take.

Some were rectangular, others were very triangular, a few were even circular in shape, making a very amusing sight. There was no house that was the same as the one at their side. The paved streets were decorated with colorful stones as well, beautiful works of art made into the streets to decorate everyone's daily life with some color.

The blue sky with a few clouds, and the setting sun made for a lovely visage, making the entire scenario even more romantic. And of course, the beautiful and calm sea at the distance, reflecting the light of the sun. Aquarina's beautiful blue eyes couldn't stop shining brightly as she watched everything.

"This city is so big! It's much bigger than Agartha, isn't it?!" Aquarina was excited.

"It is!" I nodded, glancing around.

"Wooow, the sea! It's really the sea, everyone!" Mist began jumping as she watched the sea from afar.

"Not bad…" Celeste smiled.

"So nice! Zephy, look, the houses look weird!" Celica pointed out.

"I saw that!" Zephy nodded. "Look those circular houses… How did they made those?!"

"Dunno!" Celica was just as confused.

"Hehehe, alright! Let's go explore the place, everyone!" Lara said, leading our entire group.

"Hey, hey, cut it off! Don't go running away so fast!" Luck reprimanded her.

"Kids, wait a minute please." My mother stopped us. "My sister should be coming here… Ah, there she is. Ainaaaa!"

"Oh, Faylen, everyone! So you've arrived!" My beautiful aunt Aina greeted us, with her much taller height and her long and beautiful blonde hair with gentle green eyes, it was hard not to find her among the crowd.

She came accompanied by her daughter, Susanna, and her husband, a blue-eyed gray-haired elf with a silent and analyzing glare, he was also wearing glasses. He didn't looked too friendly, and this is the first time I see him.

"Hello Aina! Long time no see!" My mother hugged her tightly.

"It hasn't been THAT long, sister." Laughed Aina. "Oh, Sylphy and everyone else! Good evening! You look excited! Don't worry, you'll get all the time in the world to explore my city once we get your luggage to my house."

"Greetings." Her husband said, slightly timidly. 

"Ah, right, this is my husband, Ernest. He's usually closed on his research laboratory making medicines and potions, he's a renowned alchemist but… He's not that good at dealing with people." Aine giggled. "He's a lovely father and husband, however. I hope you can be nice to him!"

"Sure!" We said. 

"Hi uncle!" I said, greeting him.

"Hello…" Ernest said, as stiff as a rock. "Aina, did you had to say all of that? It's so embarrassing…" He whispered to her.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, we're between family here, dear. Calm down and relax." Aina smiled gently, soothing her anxious husband's heart.

"R-Right…" Ernest sighed.

"Come on daddy, let's lead everyone to our house!" Susanna said. "Sylphy, I'll show you the big collection of dolls I have! You can play with one!"

"Ah, is that so?" I smiled. "I would gladly play with you, Susanna!"

"Did you say dolls?!" Celica asked, approaching Susanna.

"Yeah! Do you wanna play house too?" Susanna wondered. 

"I do! I do!" Celica was very excited.

"Nice to meet you, Ernest, I'm-"

"Allan Bravo Firebrand, I know your name very well, Hero." Ernest smiled. "It is an honor to meet you- Oh, and of course, Lady Nepheline as well."

"Hmph." Nepheline remained in silence as she nodded.

"I-is she alright?" Ernest felt threatened by her aura.

"She's fine, she just… got herself into a little personal problem, that's all." My father tried to calm down the man. "Anyways, I hope you're good at drinking!"

"I-I can handle a few shots but nothing too strong…" Ernest readjusted his glasses.

"Hahaha! Well, this is your day because I'm going to help you get better at drinking. I heard Azurite got the best liquors of all around the continent!" My father was looking forward to tasting the liquors of the continent… Well, I should had expected that.

As we made our way to Aina's house, we were greeted with all manner of street vendors, large carriages with merchants selling their products, huge food carts, people selling freshly caught seafood, and also all sorts of shiny gems, materials, weapons, armor everything!

We couldn't help but take a glimpse at everything, as I ended buying several materials that could be of use for my Spirit's Evolutions. I got myself a lot of high-quality Spirit Stones, and even found someone selling a few Poison Spirit Stones, saving myself the annoyance of looking for the rarest of the bunch aside from the Space attribute ones.

The vendors were always amazed when they saw me feeding their products I just bought to my bag mimic pet, Glutton, who always licked their faces afterwards… He's quite the sunshine, isn't he?

"Ooh, so this is your house! It's like thrice as big as mine!" Faylen was shocked.

Aina lived in an incredibly luxurious mansion, so big it was three times larger than ours. Beautifully carved out of white marble stone and decorated with many statues, a giant and gorgeous flower garden, several small fountains, and one larger one filled with freshwater fish.

The interior was just as luxurious, with golden linings across the walls and many expensive-looking statues, armors, and all sorts of paintings in the walls…

The socioeconomic difference between our two families couldn't become clearer now…
