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

Chapter 59: I Want A Puppy

“Are those seeds rare?” I asked.

“Yeah, they’re quite rare,” father nodded as she replied.

“Can’t I use my magic to make them grow here so you can harvest them?” she asked.

“...”

“...”

“Huh?”

.....

After I got the idea of using my Agriculture skill and my Farmer job to grow the Buri Buri Seeds in their field for easier acquisition, my parents fell silent.

“R-Right, we didn’t think about that,” father said with a light chuckle.

“But what we got is powder-ah, I almost forgot she also sent a few seeds! Maybe we could let you? I wonder if we can plant them... these seeds come from a plant named the Buri Buri Tree that grows in the Atlanta Continent where my family comes from,” mother explained.

“Oh yeah. They grow in the hotter regions, so maybe they can’t grow here... but then again, Sylphy’s Nature Magic is insane. She can even grow an Eden Apple into a full tree in just four years... I’m pretty sure she could do it,” father told her.

“Hmm... well, I’ll give you the seeds tomorrow. For now, let’s enjoy the stew and the other food. Everything’s ready,” mother said in response.

“Yaay!”

Hearing mother agree, I could not help but be happy. If I could get some new seeds to play around, maybe I could create more trees and bring forth even more tasty ingredients.

I’ve barely used my Agriculture skill as my parents told me it was dangerous and might provoke seeds to become monsters if I wasn’t careful. But now that I’m being taught magic by mother, I’m pretty sure they’d let me have some more liberties.

Well, to be honest, it would be nice if the plants became monsters. I could build up my dream army of tamed monsters. Plus, having a few plant companions doesn’t sound bad.

“Mommy, can I get more seeds to play around with? If I can get more seeds, I could bring more trees and plants! I-I want to see if I can make a monster out of them and tame it!” I suggested.

“Eh?!” Mother uttered in slight shock.

“Hmm... interesting. Sylph, do you want some monster companions? You know that it’s a big responsibility to have pets, right? Even plant pets are no exception to this,” father told me.

“But Sylph, you already have your little spirit with you, don’t you? Do you really want more?” mother asked, seemingly feel a bit of a headache.

“The more the merrier, mom...! I want to just see how far my magic can go... I want to see what I can do more than just learning spells one by one-but it’s not like I don’t like your classes!” I replied.

“I see... well, it might be too dangerous for you. After all, your magic power and mana pool are quite enormous. A little mishap and things can get out of control very quickly. I don’t want you to suddenly get killed by an army of plant monsters turning against you! Your powers require training because they’re unstable.” From how she phrased her words, it seems she wants me to change her mind.

I guess she has a point...

“Come on, Faylen. It’s only a few couple of seeds. Plus, we’ll watch over her so nothing bad happens. Let the girl have her pets,” father said, being on my side.

“Why can’t she just have cat or a puppy instead?” mother asked.

“Oh! Can I? I wouldn’t mind either! But I still want to see if I can make seeds into monster companions,” I told her.

“Hm, I think we can get you a puppy... I heard Fenrir recently had some pups,” father could not help but recall.

“Fenrir?” I asked.

“Why are you even considering bringing such a dangerous creature here, Allan?!” mother asked with a hint of anger.

“Eh? But it will be a puppy!” father replied, thinking of his words as right.

“Can I have Fenrir’s puppy?” I asked.

“Eh? N-No...! That creature is dangerous. Yeah, maybe we are friends with it, but a pup from such a being could easily kill you even if it’s just playing around! L-Let’s just go with the seeds,” mother said, leaving no room for discussion.

“Fine, then...” father said in response as he suddenly winked at me.

Huh? Was this his plan? Wait a second, did he offer an even more dangerous pet so mother could see that the seeds weren’t actually that dangerous, making her change her mind? This way, my mother saw the seeds idea as nothing compared to having Fenrir’s puppy. Then again, I still want Fenrir’s puppy.

“Thank you!” I said in response.

“Now, eat up your lunch. The cheese will become hard if you don’t eat it,” mother nodded as she reminded me the food was getting cold.

“Okay! Nom... hmm...”

The delicious, melted cheese slice over the toast was incredibly tasty. It was warm and cheesy, plus the creaminess of melted cheese is just hard to be beaten by most things. The crunchy toast was also good. In fact, everything went well when I sipped a bit of the stew, the boar meat in there was incredibly tender and flavorful. Each bite of the meat melted in my little mouth.

Despite being quite hot, I couldn’t help but continue eating more and more, biting on the cheese toast over the stew and ate it like that. It was all so delicious! I also saw my father finishing his meal right away. Surprisingly, we finished almost at the same time.

“Can I get seconds?” we asked at the same time, as my mother looked at us with smile, sighing.

“Sigh... you already ate everything? I’m barely halfway through! Alright...”

With that, mother quickly served us a second plate and gave us another slice of cheese toast. There was also a tasty and refreshing salad to go with it, which included fresh cabbage, delicious and juicy tomatoes, plus a special white sauce poured over it named mayonnaise made out of eggs and oil.

With it being so delicious, I devoured everything. My second plate was gone in an instant. Surprisingly, father was also done.

“Can I get thirds?” we asked once more.

“S-Slow down!” mother could not help but say.

After eating a third plate, she finally served us pie. The Eden Apple Pie my mother has been baking for us since I was born in this world. It was so tasty, sweet, warm, and buttery... the apple was tender... with cinnamon on top of it, it made for a wonderful combination.

All in all, it was a very good meal...
