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

253 Mother And Daughter Time

—–

My mother and Nepheline had gone to cook rather quickly. I also wanted to help them cook. There was sadly no kitchen aside from a specific tent to cook in. My father and Shade were already done draining the blood and taking out the internal organs and feathers from the four Carnage Birds there were, so we decided to quickly cut them into pieces.

“You’re sure you want to help too, Sylphy? Mommy can prepare food...” Said my mother, she seemed to life cooking for me.

“I’ll also eventually cook on my own, right? So I want to help as much as I possibly can, please let me help!” I said.

“O-Okay, okay, you can help, you don’t have to beg for it, my daughter.” Sighed my mother, as she sighed and petted my head gently. “Thank you mom!”

“Alright little girl, you’re butchering with the mothers here, huh? Why do you want to learn how to cook? Want to become a mother yourself?” Asked Nepheline rather teasingly.

“T-There’s no reason why I wouldn’t want to learn how to cook...” I said while pouting. She was teasing me for no reason, I had not even thought about marriage yet at all! Although I really would like to have some kids in the future, something I never managed to do in my previous life... A family of my won would be nice.

“Come on, Nepheline, being a mother or not doesn’t have anything to do with it, Allan also knows how to cook a lot of stuff and he’s a guy, so don’t begin telling that cooking is only for mothers.” Said my mother.

“Okay, sorry~” Giggled Nepheline. “Though I wonder if you like some guy already, huh? Or do you... Oh, I guess you’re into Aquarina, yeah.” Nepheline murmured something that I barely heard, but I wanted to pretend I didn’t listened to it.

.....

“Stop teasing my daughter already!” Said my mother angrily, as she smacked the head of Nepheline, but her head was so strong and as hard as a stone that it turned my mother’s hand all red.

“Ouch...” She sighed.

“Hahaha! Sorry, I am just in a good mood.” Laughed Nepheline. “Anyways, take this knife, Sylphy, let’s cut the legs and the thighs first. I guess we can make some nice soup out of the legs... Also, the meat of this big chicken thighs are pretty tasty when cut into slices and grilled with a lot of seasoning.”

“Big chicken you mean the Carnage Birds? These things are Tier 4 monsters, they’re not chickens at all, I think they could even kill Adventurers at Tier 4 if they are in their usual trios, which they use to hunt...” Said my mother, as she used magic to reinforce her knife and began cutting through the chicken’s entire thigh, even the bone. I also did the same myself to not fall behind the two experienced ladies.

“Oh man, I used to go hunting with Ninhursag, the two of us always caught these ones, we grilled them whole in a stick and ate them while seasoning them with some salt we mined from the caves in the depth of the jungle... Ah, such nice memories.” Cried Nepheline.

“You really had a fun childhood, Auntie Nepheline.” I said.

“Well yeah! Ninhursag and I have always been hunting partners, hehe, we always had lots of fun.” Giggled Nepheline. As she said those words, I managed to pull through the hard bones of the bird. Birds usually have weak and hollow bones because it aid them at flying, but this bird had strong bones that helped it at kicking and running long distances as well.

CRACK!

Managing to cut the bone, the entire leg fell off the carcass, and I grabbed it with my hands, it was so big and heavy that I barely managed to lift it without any strength enhancement spells infused into my body.

“Wow, this thing is heavy...” I said.

“Monsters have a lot of meat to eat, so they’re pretty good when you’re hungry.” Said Nepheline.

“But in bigger civilizations it is not usual for people to hunt monsters to eat, they have cattle animals for that. They raise cows, pigs, chicken, and eat that instead.” Said my mother.

“Ohh, I see!” I said. I already knew this, but my mother had never showed me what a “true civilization” looked like, although I already imagined it wasn’t so different from my previous life world.

“You had some of those at home, right?” Asked Nepheline. “What happened to them?”

“We left them in the farm, they can eat grass and drink from the river anyways, they’ll be protected by the barriers I left there, and some summons.” Said my mother.

“I see, seems pretty nice for them, hopefully there is not an overpowered monster that just ignores all of that and eats them all...” Said Nepheline.

“Stop talking nonsense, I doubt there is anything in there that could do that.” Said my mother.

After butchering the legs, I quickly decided to cut down the small, atrophied wings that the big Carnage Birds had, alongside cutting off their head. The work was rather exhausting by how hard to cut were their bones, but the results were satisfactory after I cut them down into many pieces.

“We’ll cook this one bird into a tasty stew.” Said my mother. “Sylphy, pour the meat chunks here, dear.” My mother asked, as I quickly did as she asked me and put the big chunks of meat inside the large pot, big enough to even handle all this entire big bird’s body, this stew was going to be amazing.

“Here, Sylphy, cut down some potatoes for me.” Said my mother. “Also these carrots, onions, and garlic. And quickly! Take this as a training to increase your precision speed.” My mother was as tyrannical as ever, ordering me to do things quickly, but I was the one that wanted to cook, and peeling and cutting vegetables was part of cooking after all.
