Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

“One of the towns was filled with wraiths. I found the two struggling to ward them off. There were too many of them, and Grace does not have many attack options.” Iena reported. I frowned and decided to try to figure out some attack spells for her.

“Alright. We will head back now.” The two were only exhausted from continuous fighting. So they will be fine. But I will be scolding them later because they could have sent a signal on the mana tether that they were in danger.

We were able to leave the dungeon in four days’ time. We ran nonstop towards the exit of each room until we finally exited the dungeon. I turned and made a thirty layer barrier over the dungeon so no one could enter it or leave. “I want a bath….” Amanda complained. I could agree with her. I also wanted a bath.

“We can take turns when we get to my house, for now, let’s just head there….” I said as I adjusted my grip on the father once more. He had yet to awaken even once since I found him. I could see his mana pool was filling up, but his body was still weak. I do not know what they did to him, but I have tried using rewind on him, but it doesn’t seem to do anything, and there is no status effect on him.

I talked with Iena about it, but she also did not see anything wrong with him. Grace even cast her healing magic on him a few times, but nothing came out of it. My only guess was that he was exhausted. I will also have Diablo take a look, just in case.

“Faith!” A cry came out as soon as I walked towards the door of my house. My mother came running outside with tears in her eyes. She ran right up to me and hugged me tightly. “Faith… You found him….”

“Mmm…. Currently, he is asleep. I do not know what happened, but he has been asleep for a few days. Let’s take him inside.” I used one arm to pat her back. I looked up to see my brother and Rachel standing there. My brother’s eyes were watering up. I could see he was happy that we returned.

A few hours later, inside my room, I had just finished taking a bath and was now currently talking with Diablo. “So anything?”

“Just exhaustion. From what I can see, he has not slept for many nights. On top of having his mana forcefully sucked out of him, it took a large toll on his body. Rewind wouldn’t be able to return him to a better state due to the mana being forced out of his body. It seems the spell is unable to rewind mana itself.

“He will need a few years of having mana nourishing his bones and muscles before he will return to his previous state. But one good thing is that his mana pool has expanded quite a bit. I do not know how he did it, but he was able to successfully safeguard the last bit of mana he had in his mana pool, allowing him to draw in what little mana was in the air around him. I think the dungeon helped him greatly in this aspect.” Diablo explained, causing me to relax a bit. He was still passed out. But with a bit of mana therapy which was just infusing his body with a bit of mana, his complexion looked much better.

“Thank you for suffering during this time, Diablo. I know I put a heavy burden on you. But my mother trusted you, and I needed someone strong here in case anything happened.” I was really thankful to Diablo for what he had done.

“You are my master, and your command is something I have to follow. But please, I beg you not to force me to do this again! Your mother kept pestering me on when our wedding would be and when we would bring home grandbabies.” Diablo’s expressions as making it hard to laugh, but at the same time, the way he was speaking made me feel a little irked. I mean, am I that bad!?

“So you are saying I am not marriageable material!?” I asked with a huff. Having a handsome man say such things was just a blow to my womanly pride!

“No, Master, it is not like that. It is just that….” Diablo scratched his head, causing me to smile and laugh. Seeing him flustered was quite amusing. It kinda made me want to kiss him to see just how it would feel to kiss a man and to also make him even more flustered.

Now that I was thinking about it, I realized I really needed to figure this out, if kissing a man was any different from the kisses I got from Sophie and Adel… I looked up at Diablo again and stared at his lips. I bit my lip and leaned forward and pressed mine against his before quickly pulling back. I touched my lips with my hand feeling the lingering warmth. Just like when Sophie and Adel kissed me, it was warm and soft…. I turned to look at Diablo, who seemed to have frozen in place with pink cheeks. It was only then that things really hit me. “Ahh! Sorry, I just….”

“Master, if you will excuse me!” Diablo stood straight up and dashed out of the room. I couldn’t help but chuckle. To be honest, his actions were quite cute. However, I do wonder how he will act around me from now on. But I did kind of do that out of the blue. It will probably be awkward for a while. But I would rather kiss Diablo than someone else. At least with Diablo, it would be safe since he will always be around me and has a contract with me. But I did come to the conclusion that I did not mind kissing boys or girls. I guess that would make me bi? I sighed as I laid back on my bed. “I need to really figure this all out. I promised Sophie and Adel, and now… Diablo….”
