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

-----

While resting in the grass and almost falling asleep, I suddenly sensed some footsteps slowly getting closer. I looked at my side, finding Aquarina sitting at my side.

"Hey."

"Oh, hey…"

She looked quite tired, I guess she came to spend some time with me. She always comes to my side when I am feeling lonely.

"It has been a big party, huh?" I asked.

"Yeah… Are you tired?" She asked.

"A bit… I am a bit tired, yeah."

As we looked into the sky, Aquarina got closer to me.

"W-We have lived a lot of adventures together… I can't believe we are just twelve though…" She sighed.

"Yeah, it has been a long journey until now, filled with many things in between our path… Maybe too many." I said.

"I am glad we were able to settle down her and relax… My birthday's coming next." She said.

"I know, I am preparing you a nice gift! I will make it with all my… my love." I said.

"Huh…" Aquarina looked into my eyes. "With your love?"

"Of course, so it ends as the best gift I could ever make for you." I said. "Though at the end, it will only be a tiny thing…"

"All your gifts… All of them, I keep them with me." Said Aquarina. "Noe of them is a tiny thing!"

"Likewise. I liked the necklace you gave me. Did you made it yourself as well?" I wondered.

Aquarina had gifted me today a necklace with a beautiful blue jewel on it. The necklace seemed magically enchanted to generate a barrier that protected against Negative Status Effects and Curses.

"Yep! I put all my love into it too…" Aquarina said. "I just… I kind of want to thank you though."

"Huh? Thank me?" I asked.

This felt slightly out of nowhere.

"Why though? I haven't really done anything for you, right?" I wondered.

"What? Of course you've done a lot for me… Since we meet you've always been actually protecting me. You are always there for me. Always… Even in Eastgrain, amidst everything going on, you protected everyone from Celeste, the True Demons… you've done so much it's a bit… a bit unfair!" Aquarina said while blushing.

"Ah… Sorry…" I sighed.

"N-No, don't be sorry!" She sighed. "I mean… I feel like repaying you more."

"You don't really need to, I am already happy with your friendship." I said with a smile. "I know that as long as I have you with me I can overcome anything too…"

"Fweh?" Aquarina suddenly got all redder.

"Yeah like that time in my castle… you cheered me up and made me way happier…" I sighed. "Although I always look to be fine, I always struggle inside. That time… it really hurt to be discriminated. It felt unfair, and just… out of nowhere. As if just for being born, I was just hated for it…"

"Sylphy…" Aquarina looked at me, suddenly touching my hand.

"My parents were there too and everyone but… You cheered me up the most. You were even bolder than them in that moment." I said. "Thanks a lot for that…"

Aquarina smiled.

"I would do it again any time…! If it wasn't because you stopped me, I would had just stomped over them!" Said Aquarina.

"Hahah… No need to go overboard." I giggled.

"Nobody talks to you like that in front of me though…" Aquarina said. "Mom always told me to protect what… what I love."

"What you love… Huh?" I suddenly felt like she said something rather important there.

"Yeah… Because… Since a long while I've always… loved you, Sylphy. I really love you lots." Aquarina said, looking away from my eyes, I saw tears flowing from her eyes. "I know… I know its weird… I know it might be wrong to love someone that is my same gender… I… I just can't help it."

"A-Aquarina…?"

"I'm sorry… T-This is awkward right?" She sighed, smiling a bit. "I won't bother you again with this… F-Forget it…"

"No, wait!"

I quickly grabbed her arm, without letting her go.

"Sylphy?"

"I am sorry too because… I've been too dumb to tell you the same thing. I was kind of afraid you would think I am the weird one…"

I held her two hands as I looked into her eyes, then, I took a handkerchief and cleansed her tears.

"Don't cry dummy… I love you too."

"Huh?! W-What? Eh?!"

Aquarina was left dumbfounded.

But for a while now that I've liked her.

I just didn't wanted to confess so young…

But maybe 12 is just alright?

I hope…

"To clarify, romantic love, not just… friendly love." I said, petting her head.

"Really? You're not messing with me?" She wondered.

"Messing with you?" I asked. "I would never mess around this… Aquarina you're…"

I looked at her eyes… Those beautiful blue eyes, that looked like sapphires.

Those beautiful eyes, that since the first moment I saw her, they captivated me so much.

All this time, all these years…

"You're the most precious person in my life."

"Ahhh… M-More than your mom and father?!"

I nodded.

"Sylphy… I am so happy… I…"

Aquarina began to cry again, hugging me back.

"There, there…"

I hugged her back, petting her little head, and then I kissed her cheek.

"Don't cry, alright? You shouldn't be crying in this situation…"

"Sylphy…"

Suddenly, we sat down over the grass.

Our lips got closer without us realizing.

Inch by inch…

And we just… kissed.

A little kiss, a simple and beautiful kiss.

I felt like I was traveling across an endless field of flowers, her soft and warm lips, mixed with the slightly salty taste of her tears… It was so beautiful that my heart was beating faster and faster.

"Sylphy… Will you stay with me forever, and ever?" She asked.

"Of course… forever and ever." I said, holding her hands, as she rested over my legs… and we continued kissing and kissing for a while. The two of us, alone, the only witnessers being the stars and the moon.

When our lovey-dovey time finished, Aquarina suddenly got incredibly timid and shy, and after giving me a kiss in my cheek, she quickly went back home…

So I guess that just happened!

I can't believe… it was so sudden and out of nowhere.

But it sure felt so amazing…

So this is love.

It is so fuzzy…
