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

361 Cheering Up A Sorrowful Child

—–

While thinking these things and talking with Celica, the two demons I have as Familiars began to speak and chat about the current situation of the demons within my Soul Scape.

“This is really awful! If the Demon King was alive right now, these damn humans would all be screaming and being scared out of their shit!” Beelzebub roared angrily, his little worm jaws cracking and making loud sounds.

“Hm? Do you pity the little girl? I thought you were all about being a stupidly angry villain.” Said Ignatius.

“What?! O-Of course I pity her! She’s... she remind me of myself.” Sighed Beelzebub. “I also had an awful childhood, you know? Geez, what would you know if you’re just a giant lizard! You probably hatched out of your egg and then slept beneath your giant mama’s belly while she brought you good meat...”

“What? Not really! I was first a Walking Egg! A lot of my siblings were left inside a large forest filled with dangerous monsters. My father is a ruthless man, but fair! He left us to survive. Eventually, only the strongest of us walked back to the mountain where he greeted us and accepted us as his son.” Said Ignatius. “I’ve lived a life filled with danger and fights, and I grew to enjoy the thrill.”

“You’re in a completely different mindset I guess.” Sighed Alice behind Ignatius.

“Hmm... Poor girl.” Sighed Furoh. “Her mother is most likely the same as me when I was back in the Demon Continent. Sylphy, her mother was probably forced by her family to enlist as a soldier. Don’t judge her... Even if she could had lied to her daughter about the part of not killing humans...”

“Don’t worry, Furoh, I don’t hold humans as a sacred race or something to get so angry over them getting killed... I also already thought that even if she lied, I don’t really care. I am sure she’s a good mother, and that’s enough for me to accept her.” I said to my insecure friend.

.....

“T-Thank you... I knew I could count on you. You’re probably the only person out there with such an open mind.” Sighed Furoh. “I wish more people was like you.”

“I don’t think I am the only one, you’re exaggerating again.” I sighed.

“Ugh! Your parents are too slow though, Sylphy! If they really want to rescue those people they should dive and kill those bastards! If I were them, I would use my powers to set their entire city on fire and laugh as I see them burn! BURN TO HELL! HAHAHAHA!” Beelzebub began to laugh maliciously, but he was a tiny caterpillar-like maggot, so he wasn’t scary.

“You’re crazy.” Sighed Furoh. “That’s not the right thing to do, you would be doing the same thing they do! You can’t just discriminate them all for the actions of some... There’s also children there, and several other innocent people. They had been influenced by the government and the nobles, they might had discriminated others, but that doesn’t mean they deserve death.”

“Ugh! You’re too much of a softie, worm.” Said Beelzebub.

“Look whos’ talking, you’re literally a maggot.” Said Furoh.

“Y-You’ll see!!! S-Sylphy will give me a System Seed one day and I’ll evolve and gain Skills like this stupid egg, and you’ll see!” Beelzebub was really hoping I would give him the next System Seed... But I am giving it to Naturia.

“Who are you calling stupid egg?!” Ignatius angrily said. “I’m a mighty dragon!”

“Mighty dragon my ass, you’re just an uncooked omelet.” Said Beelzebub smugly.

“What did you said?! ...And what the heck is an omelet?” Asked Ignatius.

“This guy’s head is as empty as his egg...” Said Beelzebub while feeling like he was never getting through the clueless dragon.

“I wonder if everything is alright in the Demon Continent. But I guess not... After the war the humans must be occupying a large part of the continent, right?” Wondered Furoh.

“I wonder the same. I would ask my parents but I kind of don’t want to do it... I’ll try to ask them another day.” I said. “Sorry.”

“N-No, it’s fine.” Furoh sighed.

“Want to come out?” I wondered.

“W-What?! No way, I am an awfully ugly thing! She’ll get scared.” Said Furoh.

“Meh, you came out in the orphanage and the kids liked your appearance, didn’t they play with you until you ended all tired?” I laughed.

“R-Right... But still, she looks rather sad, I don’t want to annoy her.” He said.

“Come on, you could even lift her spirit up. Actually, why don’t you all come out, so she can see a big of a fantastic sight to cheer up? You all better spin around and release lights.” I said.

“What? There’s no way I am doing that!” Cried Beelzebub.

“You think I am just a plaything for kids?” Asked Ignatius.

“FOOO!” Naturia seemed willing.

“Okay, if it is this once...” Said Alice.

“I-I don’t know... If you really want to...” Muttered Furoh.

“Alright! Look, Celica!” I said to her, as she had just finished eating breakfast. “Summon Familiars!”

POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!

Suddenly, several bright lights came out, floating in midair. Celica’s eyes closed in surprise, but slowly opened as she saw my Familiars.

“These are my spirits and familiars! Aren’t they cute? Look how bright they are!”

As I said that, my familiars began flying around. I could notice that Ignatius and Beelzebub were forcing themselves to act friendly. And Furoh had grown smaller as it was a power of Familiars he developed, he could shapeshift and became smaller or bigger. A thing he developed as a Mimic Demon.

“Aahhh! S-So bright... pretty...!” Celica said with eyes wide open, her eyebrows raising all the way up. My spirits and familiars flew around, releasing elemental sparks that surprised her even more.

“Fooo! Fofoo!” Naturia flew towards Celica first, touching her nose gently. She was so cute that Celica immediately had her heart melted by her adorableness.

“Sho cute! Who is she?” She wondered.

“She’s Naturia, my Nature Spirit, she’s very young, almost your age, actually! She’s a baby spirit.” I said with a nod.

“Baby spirit...” Said Celica.
