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

Chapter 912 Preparing To Visit Another City

-----

Once I sold the materials and made my way back home alone, as everyone else was too full and exhausted to come hang over at my house, I greeted mom with a letter as she and the rest of my family were having dinner.

"A letter? Oh, it's a letter from Aina!" My mom was instantly excited. "Usually if she wanted to tell me something from a long-distance, we would use a magic artifact, and if she wanted to send me something else, she would use a teleportation device, but this is different. If she sent a letter in this way, it means it's a special thing!"

"Oh, special? Like what?" Wondered dad.

"Yeah, what?" Zephy wondered, imitating dad as he rubbed his little chin.

"It is most likely a form- Oh, it is." My mother took the paper out, there was a small letter at the side of the huge contract. "It's a magic-imbued contract to open trading routes between both the Azurite Port and Agartha… As you may not know, my sister Aina is the duchess of Azurite, a port city close to the southwest of the continent, it's not that far, and we can get there through airship in just a day."

"Oh, so the trading route is possible?!" I wondered. "We can begin selling our products, my products too!"

"That's right, we finally got the things done. So if I sign this here and here…" My mother read the whole thing in a few seconds several times, her abilities were impressive. "And done." She finished signing it.

FLAAASH!

The contract shone brightly as several runic seals of advanced magic emerged, finishing the deal completely. Once it was done, the paper curled up into a cylinder and was sealed with a red-colored piece of cloth.

"How about we go to Azurite tomorrow morning?" My mother wondered. "You can invite your friends if you want!"

"Nice! This is the first time we'll go there! A Port town! I wonder what they'll have… Wait, a port town?" I wondered. "Ah, I guess I won't be able to sell fish as much."

"Well it wasn't as if Fish was your specialty, the Tropical Island you have is filled with many rare fruits that don't grow there. We've also go the Mana Fruits, the Spirit Leaves, and the Wisdom Apples, all incredible edibles that increase magic power, heal wounds, and increase mana temporarily." My mother explained. "That and a few other resources that can be mined, such as the Coral Tree Forest, and so on gives you plenty of non-fish things to offer. Though, this will also help us get in contact with other cities that Azurite trades fish and seafood products with, offering our own."

"I see!" I nodded. "Alright, I'm going to get things ready for tomorrow then!"

I excitedly ran upstairs as I was greeted by Nephilim in front of the door, who greeted me with a slight smile.

"Welcome back home, young lady-"

"Nephilim! We're going to a port city tomorrow!" I celebrated, rushing inside of my room, and beginning to choose my clothes and other things.

"Oh! Sounds fun." She smiled. "Should I go or stay…?"

"You can come, obviously! It's not going to be for too long anyways!" I laughed. "You need to explore and see the world out there too! You were confined in that temple for a long time, right? Don't you feel like you want to explore the beautiful world out there?"

"I… I have never thought about it that way." Nephilim was surprised, her two odd-colored eyes shining brightly. "But yes… I think it would be fun to do so."

"Heheh, see? Now come here and help me decide which dress should I pick- Oh! You too! You can't just go wearing those maid clothes everywhere. We'll get you all dressed up and pretty!" I nodded, putting one of my dresses in front of her to check if it fits.

"I don't mind my current clothes…" Nephilim tilted her head. "But maybe a change wouldn't be so bad… Maybe?" She was still confused about having her own thoughts and opinions.

"Let me help as well!" Alice popped out of thin air. "I think this one dress would look pretty on you, Nephi."

"And this too, right?" I laughed.

"S-So which one should I put on?" Nephilim was getting more and more confused. "Ahh… This is harder than I imagined."

The next morning came faster than we thought, as I had already contacted my friends and they all agreed on coming, we were all assembled downstairs, enjoying a big breakfast before departing at nine in the morning.

Because we wanted to leave some strong people to protect the city, Uncle Arafunn and Shade decided to stay, while Ninhursag and Nepheline were going to accompany us. Mist and Celeste tried their hardest to invite Mother Mary, but she was too busy with the orphanage kids, so she couldn't find the time to come.

"A port city, huh? I wonder how it is…" Celeste wondered while eating a sandwich. "Azurite, it's like the second time I've ever heard about this place."

"There are many port cities around the area we live in within the Atlanta Continent, Azurite is one of the smallest and less known of the port cities because it is to the colder parts of the continent." I said. "But at this time of the year, it should be warm and nice there, perfect for a little summer vacation!"

"It is pretty much like our own city, Celeste." My mother explained. "Azurite has suffered a lot, especially by the cruel sea of those areas which is not that suitable for sea traveling or fishing all year round. They also had little resources aside from fishing, so they rely heavily on trading. Its thanks to my sister that got into the position of duchess for the last 100 years that it has improved to this point, and even then, it still cannot compare to some other cities, sadly."

"A-A hundred years… Elves really talk about a lifetime so casually…" My father laughed.

"Anyways, let's get going! The Airship's already on the airport." My mother quickly stood up, drinking her tea and as ready as ever.
