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

Chapter 933 A Grandfather That Opens His Heart To His Grandkids

-----

After waking up and taking a bath, we meet with the rest of our families in one of the many terraces around the castle, the one closest to the flower garden in the back. Grandpa, Auntie Aina, and Grandpa were also invited to this breakfast.

Grandpa's figure was imposing, but now that he took off his armor and his crown, he looked rather normal, just a huge elf man packed with muscles… Wearing a green, rather loosen shirt and brown pants with sandals.

Wow he sure looked different.

"Thank you for coming over to our little breakfast, father." My mother said with a smile.

"Ah, well, we were here already so it wasn't anything too much to ask for." Grandfather shrugged. "Sylphy, how was the night? No discomfort in the bed?"

"E-Eh? Ah, yeah, all's fine. The bed was really good, soft, and fluffy!" I said with a giggle.

"I see… Zephy?" He asked big brother the same.

"It was fluffy Grandpa!" Zephy said, sitting over his lap for a couple of minutes by now.

"I see." He kept his stoic, almost expressionless face, but he seemed rather softened by my little brother.

He stopped drinking tea and then caressed the boy's head gently.

"Hmm… Well, if you ever feel like… living somewhere else, or in the capital. There will always be rooms here for you two." He said. "Ahem… I mean, if you ever want to, I'm not saying you should come over to live with us. Well, that would be great too, but I know you have your responsibilities back in Agartha and… But if you ever need to move, you can…"

"It's okay, honey." Grandpa held his big arm. "He's trying to say that you're welcome in our home at any time! You could come over to live with us forever and we would fine with that too!"

"Thank you for the hospitality, grandpa, grandma." I smiled. "I'll consider it once I grow older, maybe!"

"Ooh…" Grandpa suddenly got a bit happy about that. "You must consider it thoroughly!"

He really just wanted to spend some time with us…

"Ganpa, if I stay here will I get to eat tasty snacks like yesterday?" Zephy asked, biting on small min apple pie.

"But of course, you will get the best food this country can offer every day." Grandfather said confidently and stoically.

"Father, that's enough…" My mother laughed. "They're my kids, so they're staying with me…"

"You can also stay… if you want, Faylen." He said. "Ahem… Well, it's up to you. I am not trying anything, okay?"

"Okay~" My mom laughed. "He never changes, he still has difficulties talking the simplest of topics when it comes to personal things."

"Faylen, I have no such difficulties." Grandpa said with a stern look on his face…

"Anyways, father-in-law, maybe we could consider coming here for a month or so, so the kids can kick off and get used to the capital before they come for the academy." Said my father.

"Hmmm… That would be ideal. So when are you kids coming to stay for a month?" Grandfather quickly summoned a golden grimoire out of nowhere. "This is the Grimoire of Truth; it is a powerful artifact that can record anything and has an infinite number of pages. In ancient times, it was used to store spells, but I use it to write appointments. It has a very useful dinging sound whenever something is coming closer."

"T-That's the Grimoire of Truth?!" Even Shade lost his composure as he muttered those words. "To think the King's using them for notes…"

"Well you're no different with your Grimoire of Records!" Sighed Nepheline.

"Hahaha, yeah!" Aquarina laughed.

"Father, we're still thinking about it, calm down." My mom said.

"Heh, you're sure excited about your family now, huh?" Arafunn laughed, teasing grandfather.

"C-Cut it out Arafunn." Grandfather sternly said. "They're good kids, so I want them to… well, to have fun in the capital. And usually, well, my other grandchildren are all grown up, and those that are still young are scared of me, and their parents usually are too scared of me too so… Ahem, I was getting a bit off-topic there."

"Ganpa is not scary, no?" Susanna asked curiously. "He's just big!" She sat down on grandpa's other leg.

"That's right, I am just big because I need to be strong to protect my family." Grandfather said with a serious as rock face, yet he gently caressed Susanna's blonde hair.

He had a soft spot for his grandchildren…

"Ahh, I'm still nervous. I can't believe we're having breakfast with the king…" Zack muttered.

"Just go with the flow and eat to your heart's content!" Mist said, munching on the sweets and pastries, as maidservants brought new things over and over.

"These teas are so good too, and the donuts go so well with them!" Said Celeste. "My King, your bakers and tea blenders are sure talented."

"Thank you, I've chosen the best ones qualified for the job." Said the King sternly. "Celeste, I'm glad our food is of your liking. If you ever want something more endemic of demon cuisine, we've been working on demon tribe menus, we've got a few demon chefs that joined our kitchen recently, they come from countries of the Demon Continent and the Araburn Continent."

"Ohhh? You're really putting it in effort, gramps!" Celeste laughed.

"D-Don't call him like that, Celeste!" Lara panicked.

"Gramps…" The King muttered. "No, it's fine… Children will be children." He let it go easily.

"I wonder if there are anima chefs?" Asked Luck.

"Yes, there are quite a few! Most of the things you're eating are made from Anima chefs, they're usually better than elves because of their keen, heightened senses! The best chefs out there are all Anima people." The King said pridefully.

"Wooow…" Lara was amazed. "Maybe I could become a chef once all the hero job's done…"

"You're already thinking about that?" Luck was surprised of Lara's carefree mindset.

"Well yeah! Sylphy's parents and Aquarina's parents are all free now and they're dedicating themselves to other things!" Lara said. "It's fair we think about it too, no?"

"Hahahah, well, I guess…" Luck laughed, amazed on Lara's lighthearted remarks.

"Never change, Lara." I said with a giggle.

"More importantly, I wanted to talk something with you children." My mother suddenly interrupted the peaceful breakfast.

Things were getting a bit serious now…
