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

Chapter 1403: Looking For Ruby



Ruby.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

One of the Heroes chosen by the gods, an unfortunate girl that had gone through a lot on her

own.

I couldn't completely get all the details about her life though, just from asking folks living around her neighborhood.

If anything, they were being wary, thinking I was some sort of debt collector or a creep... it was a bit embarrassing.

However, from what I learned, she was living alone in her smithy, constantly working, and trying to make a living like this.

She was in great debt with some really dangerous people, and she has been accumulating that debt for two years now since the time she started living alone.

Some said she escaped from her abusive father, others say she doesn't have a family, but they either pitied her or laughed at her misfortune.

It seems nobody even knows she has a god blessing, it should be something pretty obvious, her aura or...

Wait, I remember now, she had no such aura...

Unlike the Auras that Aquarina, Lara, and Luck release, she didn't really have any aura of her own. It was as if it was suppressed.

Did her divinity got sealed somehow?

No, it wasn't a seal, I would have been able to tell with my eyes.

It was more like... she was suppressing her own powers.

Why? With that she could clearly improve her life.

Was it all for pride? Maybe she hated the gods and didn't want to use the blessing of blacksmithing they granted to her?

I'm just... full of questions, but none are going to be answered like this anyways.

Oh well, we'll find out once we find her.

With Celica and Celeste, we passed through several markets, managing to buy a lot of the materials we needed.

"It's true, today they really restocked everything and brought even more things from outside!" said Celica, watching the big market, there were many people other than dwarves around, selling their wares from distant lands.

"Yes, this is the end of the month market as they call it," said Celeste. "It's the time of the month where they restock materials and a lot of merchants come from the large airships. A lot of smaller ones selling rare, but few items too. Good thing we secured everything for our test."

"Yeah!" I sighed in relief. "Also I got enough materials to evolve my familiars, so I'm happy!"

I managed to find the demon monster materials here, luckily, a band of adventurers were selling their stuff, they looked a bit desperate for money, apparently they had lost a friend in the battle and most of their equipment was destroyed.

I felt really bad, so I gifted them a lot of potions and leftover elixirs from my alchemy practices, alongside saying them triple the amount for their products.

It is one of the little things a rich young lady such as myself can do!

"Hahaha, but those adventurers were really shocked when Sylphy bought their stuff for three times the price, and even gifted them potions and elixirs!" Celica giggled.

"You're way too generous..." Celeste sighed, facepalming. "What if they were lying?"

"Nah, they weren't lying," I said. "I could clearly see their emotions, the aura of their souls... They were truly very sad. Losing a friend... I can relate to that a lot. So I... well, I wanted to be that person that tries to give them some hope, even if small."

"They were really happy, you did well Sylphy!" Celica smiled. "You're a very good person... thank you for doing that to them! I wouldn't have been able to afford helping them... It's nice that someone with money like you is goodhearted. Usually, rich people are very stingy despite having so much money... they never help people with it, despite being able to save so many... it's a bit sad!"

"She speaks facts," nodded Celeste. "But yeah, you're really nice, I'm surprised. Sometimes you can be quite the little devil, but you got an angelic side to you." Celeste laughed.

"Ugh, cut it out already..." I sighed. "I hope they're doing fine now... It'll take a while for them to move on."

"Hm..." Celeste nodded. "Ahem, anyways, about this Ruby girl, what did you find out?" "Ah, right!"

As we made our way across Evercraft, bought some large, freshly baked cookies and coffee in the nearby food stalls, I explained to them what I had found out.

"So that's how it is, she's in deep debt, and she's fucking annoying and stupid and she hates us for actual no fucking reason... Yep," Celeste sighed. "Diagnosis: Mental retardation." "Celeste! Don't be like that!" I reprimanded her. "She has gone through a lot... Weren't you like, even worse than her before?"

"T-That's why I can tell she's stupid!" said Celeste. "Literally the first time we met we were all being nice, and she treated us less than shit, she treated us like... I don't know, the bacteria in the shit?"

"Eww! Don't say that while I'm eating!" Celica complained.

"Well, you get my point though, right?" Celeste sighed. "I don't know if it's even worth it... Yeah she's a hero, but if she's so unwilling then leave her on her own little world of self-

loathing."

"Look, maybe you think like that, but I just can't really do that," I said. "I didn't do it with you, and I won't do it with her either... So please, help me out, ok?"

Celeste crossed her arms after finishing to drink her coffee and eating her cookie, throwing the cup into a large trash bin.

"Hahhh..." as she sighed, steam came out from her mouth, it was very cold. "Fine! Fine... Let's go. I'll try to be "nice" and stuff. But if she gets rough with you and starts belittling you like before, I'm not going to let her, okay? I dislike when good people are treated like shit..."

"Aw, I'm good people?" I giggled.

"No you're a little devil!" she said, pinching my nose.

"Ouch, ouch!" I cried. "Hahah! Stop it!"

As we made our way to Ruby's smithy, we arrived just in time to see something we couldn't

believe.

"L-Let me go! I said I don't have any money!"

"Shut the fuck up you piece of shit!"

"We've waited enough! Just come with us!"

"We'll sell you as a whore somewhere else, so you pay your debt!"

"No! Fuck off! You disgusting creeps!"

Ruby was being assaulted by several men, while being dragged away, she wasn't going without a fight though, swinging her hammer around and firing fireballs, but the men were much stronger, conjuring magic auras to protect themselves and strengthen their physique.

"That's enough!"

One of the largest of them roared, an Anima man with the ears of a white fox.

"You're either coming now, or you're paying your debt with your life, you damn brat."

He unsheathed a black sword from his sheath, which overflowed with dark spirit energy.

His stance... it changed into one of a knight?!

What the hell kind of people is this!

SLASH!

A single attack reached Ruby, as she swung her hammer against it, only for her hammer to be

sliced apart.

"Aahh! M-My hammer!"

She fell to her knees, looking at the man as he pointed his blade at him.

"Next time it'll be you who's cut off."

Her face, which was once proud and selfish, was now full of despair...

"Sorry but I can't stand this."

I ran towards her.

"Huh? Who are you-"

"{Yggdragon Aura}"

RUMBLE!

"ROOOAARR!"

A giant two-headed dragon surged from my aura, swinging its claws.

CLAAASH!

And they were all sent flying except Ruby.
