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

297 The Demon Girl

—–

When somebody finally approached her to give her a small bronze coin, pitying a girl asking for money in the streets, they were greeted by a creepy smile, as her mouth, seemingly split from all the way up her forehead, showing sharp teeth, and four eyes adorning the sides of her large and strange, monstrous mouth.

“Thankyu shir!”

The man’s face quickly changed from pitying the little girl into complete horror. He had never seen somebody with such an ugly face on his entire life. The worst part was that her mouth was filled with sharp teeth that could easily tear apart flesh and bones, a beast that could threaten the life of anybody with just a bite of her strange mouth.

And to make it worse, below her beautiful and shiny yellow-gold eyes there were two smaller black eyes that at first glance would look like eyebrows, but were in fact a second pair of strange, monster-like eyes...

“W-Wha.... What sort of monster...? G-Get away from me!”

“Oh... Ah! Tshe coin...”

The man ended being scared away by the girl’s appearance, as he dropped the bronze coin into the floor. The coin rolled around the streets, as the girl followed it around and caught it with her tiny hand. Having grown used to the response from people about her appearance, the girl ignored the man for the most part and caught the coin, looking at it with her bright golden eyes.

“Bronshe coin...”

.....

The little girl kept staring at the coin brilliance below the light of the sun for way too long, interrupting the people walking through the streets. Some quickly pointed out her horns, finding out she was some sort of demon or a beast-kin, and trying to force her out of the way.

“A demon?”

“What is a demon doing here?!”

“Get off the road!”

The girl quickly ran away, snapping out of her daze and trying to run into the back alley, as a man selling fruits and vegetables nearby grabbed a broom and used it to intimidate her.

“Get away from here! Don’t get close from my place, your ugly face scares off the people!”

The man roared angrily and ruthless hit the girl with the broom over her head, the pain was severe, making her cry out.

“Auuuh! Shorry... Shorry!” She cried while running away, as her four eyes quickly began to cry out of pain. Her head began to bleed and her beautiful white hair was stained with scarlet red.

The man looked at her running away and put the broom in place, quickly calming down his customers about what had happened.

“I was not aware there were demons crawling in this city...”

“D-Does that demon appear frequently here?”

“N-No! Please, calm down. She wanders around the streets but by hitting her with a broom she quickly runs away. Please don’t mind her! The order of knights had been tracking her down and those related to her so don’t worry, please. The fruits and vegetables are freshly harvested this morning! F-For the bad time, I’ll give you a discount!” The man desperate to earn any money from the harvest of his family desperately tried to make his customers happy and to stick with him, he was desperate for money for his family, and had no time to pity a demon.

Meanwhile, the little girl ran off through the streets, as her four eyes began to cry rivers. Her face was bleeding off severely, and she hid beneath the trash of the back alleys, gasping for air.

“It hurtsh...”

She touched her head but quickly felt the jolt of pain even more severe. She gritted her sharp teeth and then began to concentrate Mana into her hands, masterfully conjuring a tiny spark of white and yellow light, which reached her head. The wound that was bleeding off slowly closed off, as the pain, still there, became lesser.

“Hahh... Grandpa... I miss you...”

The girl looked into the bronze coin she got, as she quickly saved it inside a small pouch she kept inside her mouth. Due to her nature, she had an incredibly big mouth that had pouches like hamsters, where she stored things. She quickly took off a small leather bag and opened it, saving a tiny coin in there.

It was mildly filled, as she had been saving money for years by now, doing all kinds of works, asking for money in the streets was something she only did in the mornings when there was a lot of people, as she usually worked at helping people carry stuff with her slightly abnormal strength. Of course, she often wore a mask in her face due to her hideous appearance, although she disliked the mask because it didn’t allowed her to breathe well.

“Gulp...”

The girl quickly swallowed the bag again, quickly walking through the streets. She was moving back to her “home” the place she had been living for a long time now, the orphanage.

“I hash to hurry... big shis ish waiting for me...!” She said, running across the mostly empty streets, only for a group of men to suddenly stop her. They emerged from the alley to the left side and bumped on her. Without being able to see it in time, she ended falling over her butt.

“Ouch... Eh?” She slowly looked upwards, finding a trio of men way over their twenties, their faces... she kind of knew them. They were rather famous around here for a single thing... thievery.

“Look who’s here... The little demon girl again, huh?”

“Why are you not wearing your mask, misfit?”

“Are you not afraid you’ll scare people to death with that horrid face you got?”

“A-Ahh... T-This...”

The girl began to tremble in fear. She had managed to escape these men many times due to her small and swift body, or because she was saved by her big sis... but today there was nobody to save her, and behind her there were just walls.

“What’s wrong? Are you out of words?”

“Must be hard to speak with the mouth of yours...”

“Yeah, now give us anything you’ve got, brat.”
