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

—–

Aquarina’s family quickly felt hungry the moment they saw what was being cooked behind Agua’s house. There was a huge lobster being roasted, the smell was heavenly, and there were also several other side dishes being prepared, aside from the Paprikya Seeds, which had a somewhat sweet smell while being boiled.

There were also a lot of vegetables and mushrooms, and even algae, a lot of algae, of many shapes and flavors. There were algae in the shape of little green bubbles, others were long noodle-like algae, and some were brown colored and very thick.

“What are these?” Silvia wondered, as she helped everyone set everything on the table. “Fruits? They smell funny.”

It was a big wooden plate full of small tomato-like fruits which were completely blue in color, they were recently boiled and were ready to eat.

“They’re sea fruit,” said Agua’s mother. “We harvest them from coral trees. When they fully mature they became poisonous though, but when we harvest them when they’re tiny, they can be boiled, and have a delicious, concentrated flavor.”

“Sea fruit…” Silvia wondered. “What do they taste like though?”

“You can give it a taste,” Agua smiled.

Silvia nodded, taking one and eating it.

“Nom… Hm?”

She made a weird face for a moment; it seemed it didn’t taste like she imagined.

“It tastes weird… like… It’s very citric! But it also tastes a lot like the sea, like just the salty water,” she explained. “Eugh, I don’t know if I like them…”

“They’re very nutritious though,” Agua smiled. “Well, we also got normal traditional fruits over here harvested from the tropical trees.”

She placed another bowl of fresh, colorful fruits the group had never seen before, some were purple others pink, there were grape-like fruits but that were shaped like tiny bananas, and so on.

“But for now, the main dish!”

They brought the whole lobster and placed it on top of the wooden table, it barely held on. Everyone was invited to serve themselves as much as they wanted.

They happily served themselves some of the lobster meat, cutting big, juicy chunks out of it, which were also so tender and white, it was incredible.

“Oh wow, this looks way too good,” Nepheline gulped saliva, quickly taking a bite out of a piece she took. “Hmm?! W-What? I should’ve eaten this earlier! It’s amazing?!”

“I… I don’t know what to say, it’s really good,” Shade nodded. “Probably the best lobster I’ve ever eaten in my life… Maybe the best seafood?”

“Definitely! And this monster came from that dungeon, huh?” Nepheline wondered, rubbing her chin.

“There were a few left alive, and I think there were eggs at the bottom of the pool they came from,” Aquarina said. “But leave them be for now mom, or you’ll make them go extinct…”

“Hmm, I suppose…” nodded Nepheline. “But we definitely have to come fish a few every week now…!”

“E-Every week? Mom don’t you think that’s a bit too much?” Asked Aquarina.

“A-Ah, every two weeks then?” Nepheline asked.

“We’ve hunted plenty! There’s probably enough for the rest of the year inside my Shadow Inventory, so don’t worry,” Aquarina shrugged. “I’ll share with everyone.”

“Oh my! I had no idea you had that secret!” Nepheline smiled. “Well, maybe I’ll reduce your punishment then.”

“I’ve already done enough!” Aquarina sighed. “I’ll go explore the jungle once we’re done eating. I’m sure Agua will come along right?”

“Sure…” Agua nodded. “Anywhere you go, I’ll go as well. I’m sure it’ll be fun.”

“Don’t forget about us…” Silvia said.

“Yeah,” Justicio nodded.

“Of course I’m not forgetting about you- Ah, this is the seed thing?” wondered Aquarina, looking at the small bowl that was served to her.

“Paprikya Seeds! Yes,” Agua nodded. “You can taste them.”

“Hmm…”

Aquarina ate a spoonful of them, they were as big as almonds, but once she placed them inside her mouth, a bite was all it took for them to easily be crushed, they were incredibly soft and almost creamy.

They had a nice nutty flavor, but also had the texture of potatoes combined with rice, she ended loving it, it easily became puree once it entered someone’s mouth.

Accompanied with the lobster meat sizzling hot and covered with spicy and sweet sauce, it became a heavenly combination.

“Oh wow, this is just amazing…”

Aquarina quicky started eating more and more, she fell in love with the food, eating up the algae as well, which was served in a variety of ways. Simply boiled, other times as a salad with lemon juice and other vegetables alongside some olive-like oil, and other times they were stir fried together with many types of algae, mushrooms, and Paprikya seeds with the spicy and sweet sauce, and were served as a warm side dish.

“Hmm! If there’s anything I love about traveling is all the food! I’m sure Sylphy would love this place…” Aquarina sighed as she ate. “Aw, I miss her…”

“You do?” Silvia wondered. “Well! I’m sure that in a couple more months you’ll met her, right?”

“We just have to do that inheritance trial and you’ll be pretty much done…” Justicio nodded. “So cheer up.”

“Yeah…” Aquarina nodded. “Now that there’s only a couple of days left, I’ve grown kind of nervous…”

“Inheritance Trial?” Agua wondered. “What’s that?”

“It’s the Inheritance of the first Stone Hero that’s in the ruins near Everstone,” explained her mother. “I’ve already heard Aquarina, and her friends were taking on the inheritance’s challenge this year.”

“Yeah, that’s right,” Aquarina nodded. “It’s the last part of my training, and the very reason I even came here to begin with… At first I was really sad though; I simply couldn’t care less about the trial or anything… I just wanted to go back to my friends. But I never could have expected I would make so many friends here, heh. Now I kind of don’t want to leave just yet…”

“Aww!” Silvia felt slightly touched. “We also don’t want you to leave either…”

“Come on Silvia, that’s just how things are,” Justicio said. “Let’s just enjoy the time we got together until then.”

“…” Agua remained in silence as she heard them talking, wishing she could have met them earlier, so she could speak to them like this too.

“I was thinking on taking another week before doing the inheritance though, is it fine mom?” asked Aquarina.

“It’s okay… but why?” Nepheline asked.

“I want Agua to join!” Aquarina nodded.

“E-Eh? Me?!” Agua gasped.
