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

-----

Ding!

[A Special [Beginner Quest] has been generated: [Buy Zephy His Preferred Sword]

[You have decided to help Zephy get himself a sword. He might be small but he doesn't lack a brave heart! Find the most suitable blade for him and buy it for him. Your bond with your little brother might grow once you give him his very first weapon.]

[Completion Rewards: [10000 EXP] [Muscle Strengthening Herb (E Grade)] x5 [Random Skill Proficiency Potion (E Grade)] x1 [???] x1]

[Time Limit: 1 Hour]

"Oh?"

Right in front of me, a Quest popped up. I had not even thought about it too hard, but indeed, Zephy's request could be taken as a quest on its own, even though I really didn't intend to make such a big fuss about it.

There's also a request I wanted to take today too, so I guess we'll do it once we get him a sword. I cannot miss the opportunity to get those Herbs, I haven't gotten any since the first time I got them, also a random skill proficiency potion is never bad.

And there's an [???] item… What's that? A mystery item, I guess? I suppose it is a way to incentivize me even more to get this done!

"What's wrong Sylphy?" Wondered Aquarina at my side.

"Oh, nothing… Anyways, I was thinking that we should do this one request here. And in the way we'll get to Zephy." I nodded.

"So he wants a sword, huh? Isn't he a tiny bit too small for one though?" Zack wondered. "He got your build when you were his age but you were way stronger for some reason. I think he might need something like a dagger instead."

"Hey! I want a sword!" Zephy complained.

"Alright, a sword will be." I nodded. "Let's go to the weapon shop nearby. Papa said he was commissioning him one, but for now we'll buy him whatever he wants."

"Sure, you're the rich girl here~" Celeste said. "Though I would like to check out if there's anything to upgrade my Magic Spear, I've heard those shops often have precious metals they buy from afar."

"Yeah, sounds like fun! I've been thinking on practicing with daggers because a staff and healing magic can't be everything I can specialize… I got good aim too!" Mist said.

"Then maybe a bow would be better?" Asked Zack.

"Oooh, maybe!" Said Mist while wondering.

"I don't know if I am good with physical weapons myself… Mister Teddy protects me." Celica smiled.

"Big sis let's go already. I am getting bored!" Zephy insisted.

"Ahaha, alright, alright." I said. "Let's go then."

Like that, we made our way to the gates and we were greeted by Saphaley and Elphiette, who were discussing something while we were approaching.

"I was waiting for you and you never showed up…"

"I'm really sorry, I just… Ended a bit too drunk and walked back home before the meeting."

"You've been drinking too much lately, Saphaley, what has gotten into you? We were going to hang out together, I waited for that day and you never showed up…"

"I'm sorry, I promise I'll make up for it!"

"Why are you drinking so much to begin with? You've never been someone that was alcoholic."

"I… Ah, young lady!"

Saphaley and Elphiette greeted us.

"Hello… Erm, what's going on in here?" I asked.

"N-Nothing you should worry about young lady!" Saphaley said.

I looked back at Elphiette.

"We were going to have a date and he didn't showed up yesterday…" Sighed Elphiette, she seemed utterly heartbroken.

"Eh?! You monster!" I roared back at him.

"How come you can't do that?" Celeste asked angrily.

"Why didn't you showed up?!" Mist was angry too.

"This was the ideal moment for it!" Sighed Aquarina.

"Huh? I-I know it's wrong but do you have to get so angry with me?"

Saphaley was surprised by every girl being upset. Although Nephi and Celica were confused and Zack and Zephy didn't really understand.

"He said he drank too much and passed out! He has never been this drunkard before." Sighed Elphiette. "You've really ruined it now, I really… I really wanted to spend some time with you."

"E-Elphiette…" Sighed Saphaley. "I am sorry… Don't get angry with me now, I'll make up for it, I promise!"

"Hmph, you better do something incredible if you ever want to make up for it." Elphiette said angrily, her sharp yet beautiful gaze sent shivers down the elf man.

"S-Sure…" Saphaley sighed.

"Anyways, we've wasted enough of the young lady's time." Elphiette completely changed, smiling back at me gently. "Young lady, you're going out once more? Ah, young master Zephy's here as well!"

"Hello!" Zephy waved his little hand. "I'm going to buy sword with big sis!"

"Yeah we've got a request in the adventurer's guild we need to go check. Also we have to buy something for Zephy." I said.

"I want a sword!" Zephy said. "So I can be like big sis and papa!"

"Ooh, that sounds nice!" Elphiette said. "Wait, aren't you a bit too young, young master?"

"Muhh… Big sis said she had one at my age…" Zephy sighed.

"W-We'll find him one, don't you worry." I said while giggling. "A-Alright, let's get going for now!"

As we walked outside, Saphaley suddenly followed us once we were farther away from the walls.

"Young Lady please wait!"

"Eh? Saphaley?"

He suddenly threw himself into the floor and put his head on the paved ground of the city.

"Please help me! I-I need something to make her happy, she really hates me now!" Cried Saphaley.

"Geez, you're really an idiot Saphaley, isn't it pretty obvious she likes you? She wanted to have a date with you for a reason." I sighed.

"E-Eh?! She does?!" Saphaley was shocked.

"Seriously, did someone had to tell you that to realize it?" Asked Celeste.

"Elphiette likes me? Ah… it must be because I finally healed my scar." Sighed Saphaley.

"What are you even talking about? For years I've been looking at the two of you, she's really into you even with the scar." I sighed. "She loves you for real."

"For real…?" Saphaley felt flabbergasted, and then sighed. "Ahhh… I am really the worst. I am literally garbage…"

"Yeah you are." Aquarina said while nodding.

"Yep." Celeste added.

"Maybe not garbage, but perhaps a rat?" Wondered Mist.
