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

Chapter 1257: The Blue Mountains



"Sylphy, wake up... We're almost getting there."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hmm?"

Slowly, I opened my eyes.

It seems that I had fallen asleep at some point.

The morning sun of the next day could be seen through the windows of the airship.

We've been traveling for over ten hours I believe.

"Dad..."

Dad woke me up, he seemed slightly sleepy, but I think he stayed awake the entire time.

Was he sad, maybe?

I couldn't tell, but he was smiling with the same confidence he always did.

I kind of admire my dad, he's always smiling and showing confidence.

How can I gain that? It's hard to even smile after being separated from my friends, my brother, from mom, and from Aquarina.

"Did you sleep well? You slept for like twelve hours, haha," he was drinking some coffee. "Here, I brought you some tea, sandwiches, and cookies. Can you wake up Celica and Celeste?"

"Sure..." I yawned, as I realized we were very far away from Agartha now.

The landscape was beautiful, something I think I had never seen before.

Snow everywhere, and countless peaks as far as the eye could see.

The sky was still rather clear, barely any cloud, and the sun was slowly rising from the horizon.

Despite that, the snow didn't melt, it was a very cold region of the continent.

However, that wasn't all, every mountain had large, blue colored crystals.

Even from here, I could sense it, large quantities of accumulated Ice and Water Attribute spiritual energy.

Lara would sure love this place, I bet she would constantly talk about seeing giant spirits everywhere.

I can barely sense them, but I couldn't possibly see them to the extent she does.

Lara...

I miss her too.

"So we're here, the Blue Mountains?" I wondered, trying to keep my mind busy.

"Yeah, this is the Blue Mountain Range," dad nodded. "This place, as you can see, it's packed full with spiritual energy, and due to the cold temperatures, all of that spirit energy ended crystallizing into those Ice and Water Spirit Stones growing out of every mountain."

"Wow..." I looked around. "It's a really beautiful place, but a bit scary, are there mountains everywhere without end?"

"Haha, there's ground down there, snowy pine forests and then an open grassland," my father explained to me. "You will probably go there one day in the near future, if you're feeling adventurous enough and if Felicia allows it."

"What? Am I going to do every single thing she says now?" I wondered.

"I mean, that's what your mom told me to supervise, Felicia will not only become your new master from now on, but she will also dictate your schedule... I'll be a... well, a spectator of sorts?" laughed dad.

"What?!" I felt slightly betrayed by mom. "Ugh, I hope the witch is not mean then..."

"Don't worry, haha, Felicia's the most relaxed person out there," my dad said. "She's nice, I swear."

"Okay..." I sighed. "Celica! Celeste, time to wake up..."

At least I didn't come alone, my two friends came as well. Although I had to admit that my bond with Aquarina, Zack, Mist, Lara, and Luck was much stronger than with Celeste and Celica, I still considered them my best friends.

Its just that the way they are... Well, they are a bit distant sometimes, or well, used to be. They have changed more. Celeste, due to all her circumstances, was always distant, even with me, who saved her life.

I think she just feels very guilty about everything even after so many years, and although I always do my best to cheer her up and help her socialize, without me pushing her around, she wouldn't do much.

Then there's Celica, I think she's just a bit... Um, well, different. She was quite obsessed with her puppets for a while and wouldn't really talk about anything else for a couple of years.

Thanks to Zephy she mellowed down and started considering other things.

I think it is also part of her trauma, she became overly attached with her puppets and her dolls and was unable to learn how to properly socialize.

So it took her a while to do that...

I have to thank my brother for being so nice with her, we've done our best too, always including her, but she couldn't really create a bond with us as quickly as Mist did.

Nonetheless, I still consider her a little sister and I love her, so I'll take good care of her as a friend and as my brother's future wife, heh.

This is a perfect opportunity too, now that I'll be with them for a while, I want to deepen my bond with them, know them more, and maybe, mellow down Celeste so she stops closing her heart so much to us.

"Come on, wake up... Celica~" I started pulling her cute blue-skinned cheeks.

"Muhh... Mister Teddy help..." she started groaning. "Ah! S-Sylphy?! Uwah! Eh? Oh..."

She was a bit startled but quickly calmed down.

"Sorry... Did I fall sleep for too long? I was a bit sleepy..." she yawned.

"A bit is too little to say, haha, you slept for a long while," my father commented. "We're almost there now, look."

He pointed in front of the airship, there was one of the largest mountains in front.

A large opening, a literal hole carved into the mountain itself, held by several pillars was

there.

It was like a gigantic cave only a giant could have opened.

Inside, there was a large airport, with airships coming in and out all the time.

Most of them were carrying tons and tons of blue colored ice spirit crystals.

It seems this was the big selling point of this area, the mining and extraction of these crystals, which are quite vital for our daily lives.

Every single water-producing magic item always uses these, and also any tool we use to keep things cold also uses it.

Spatial storages are a commodity only the richest families could ever afford, so these items is what most people use around the continent, or even the world.

"Wow!"

Celica smiled, her bright golden eyes shining with excitement.

"Hmm? What with all that noise..."

Celeste slowly opened her bright red eyes, looking around.

"Ah! Are we already here?!"

Sleepyhead...
