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

Chapter 1285: Celeste's Hobbies



We gathered on my bedroom, Celica and Celeste quickly sat over the bed and started checking out books I had brought, mostly books full of pictures and so on, which they could get some easy fun from. I also put on some music using a Music Box, which is a magical artifact that can record sounds, but it's mostly used to store melodies, mostly a lot of folk songs and orchestral music from when we went to visit the capital's theatre.

It was good, lively music, and the girls loved it and felt relaxed, so it was a win-win without a doubt, as my friends relaxed, I brought a wooden table and placed a lot of sweets and drinks. By drinks I meant mostly fruit juices. Mostly cookies in terms of sweets, and a few small creampuffs, we didn't want to eat too much before dinner.

"Alright here's the sweets, dad usually comes to prepare lunch at 3 PM, so we got like three hours before he gets here~" I sat down in between the two. "What are you reading?"

"I'm checking on these cute illustration books! Look all the pretty landscapes, so dreamy!" Celica smiled, looking at them. "I like this place, but I wish we could visit something like these places one day..."

"Sure, I mean, I plan to travel the world with all of you, so that's a given Celica!" I nodded, eating a creampuff. "What about miss Celeste over there?"

"I'm just checking if there's anything of interest," Celeste said. "Lately I've been trying to get into more serious literature, but I always end up going back to fantasy adventure stories... Ugh."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Well, me too, I prefer them over reading about the biography of some random elven magician or something," I laughed. "What are you reading right now?"

"Eh, it's a bit cringy..." she felt embarrassed. "Hm, it's called The Ten Elemental Rings: The Herald of the Void. It's a fantasy story about a world called Fantasia where there are ten elemental rings, there's no magic or anything, and these ten rings grant magic power of an element to those that wield it. So every nation has a different ring, but it was always thought that there were nine of them, so this is when the story starts, a young boy called Christopher is born with the ability to manifest the tenth ring, the ring of the void, and inside of it comes sealed an ancient Void Spirit that can talk only to him and help him develop his Void Magic. Also there are not monsters in this world but there are weird golem-like beings named Mechanicals and they absorb ores from the mountains and attack villages and only the power of the ten rings can defeat them so the boy goes on an adventure to defeat them and protect the commoners that are often unprotected and he stumbles upon a priest girl by the name of Cerenica that has a fragment of the Holy Ring, and this is where they introduce the rings being actually fragmented long ago and given a fragment to one person, containing only a piece of their original power to distribute it more evenly and then he later meets a boy that has developed magic technology using Mechanical parts but nobody wants to help him revolutionize the world with them to defeat their foes and-"

"Okay, okay, I get it, sounds pretty fun..." I nodded.

Damn, this girl is really a bookworm! I had no idea Celeste loved these kinds of stories.

"I told you it was cringy!" Celeste sighed. "But I kind of like this dumb stuff... Maybe because I've always lived like a loser, so I like reading shit like this to go to another world for once..."

"I-I see... I wouldn't call you a loser, Celeste, you're totally a winner, right Celica?" I asked Celica.

However, she was already in her own little world.

"Look mister teddy, this is a big garden of giant flowers! And this is the beach of crystalline sand, isn't it lovely? I want to go there!"

"Ah... But yeah, what I said!" I told Celeste, patting her shoulders. "I liked the plot though, sounds interesting. And kind of realistic, I mean, I could see that totally happening in real life."

"Nah, it's too unrealistic. A world without magic? That's just insane, but I like this sort of high fantasy," Celeste shrugged.

I guess she's not wrong, a world without magic would be so weird, like, how would people even have bathrooms then? Or take showers? Or do like, anything?

"But there's still the element of magic in the rings, that's an interesting aspect, that there are only small fragments of them capable of giving magic to people, like a limited resource," I said. "Also the Mechanicals remind me of the Machine people."

"Yeah, maybe the author met the Machine people once or something," Celeste nodded, she was getting pumped up as I talked with her about her hobby, while she was gobbling down a lot of cookies. "Also I kind of like the secondary male character, that guy that became an engineer using the mechanical body parts! Isn't that cool? Like the dwarves from the city...!"

"You're right, there's totally some sequel potential, imagine another story in the future of that world where technology spread using the mechanical body parts, so it's the same world with rings and everything but there's giant golems people pilot instead," I said.

"What? That sounds crazy! You should become an author, Sylphy, I would read that shit," laughed Celeste.

"Haha! You think so? I'm just talking nonsense mostly, but I guess that's how authors make fantasy stories..." I giggled. "You liked the cookies?"

"Yeah, they're good... I love your cookies actually..." Celeste blushed a bit. "Thanks for bringing a lot, sorry if I'm eating them all. I'm in my goblin mode right now..."

"It's fine! Let's goblin mode together~" I giggled.

We spent some nice time together, talking about her favorite books, which were all quite interested, if a bit over the top at times.

There was even one about a man reincarnating as an ice dragon called "Epic of Ice Dragon", so weird!

And even a weirder one about a girl reincarnating inside a novel, named "The Protagonist Sister is Actually the Strongest".

But I had a lot of fun, and once dad arrived, we helped him cook lunch.

Also, it was about time to consume my Elixirs.
