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

Chapter 1286: My Master Is A NEET!



"I'm back~"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dad opened the door and quickly entered the house, bringing with himself a bag with something big inside, he had caught yet another giant creature for lunch.

"Hey dad!"

I walked downstairs, the girls ended staying in my room.

"Sylphy! How are you? You can come rest here, no need to continue working. I'll make you something delicious, so relax for now."

"Ah, no, we finished, actually!"

"Oh?! Really?!" he gasped. "Nice! Well done! And it only took... one month..."

"Yeeeah, it wasn't the shortest time ever, it was still pretty long! But well, at least we did it and Felicia gave us the day off," I shrugged.

"I see! Congrats! Here's a bear hug to celebrate, come here!"

Dad quickly hugged me tightly with his big arms and lifted me off the ground.

He always did this when I was a little girl, and even now he did it!

It made me feel a bit embarrassed, but he was my dad, so I didn't really mind it.

"Hahah, do you have to lift me all the time like this?" I giggled.

"Well, you've always been my little princess! What's wrong with a father spoiling his daughter? A big hug has never hurt anybody!" he laughed, kissing my cheek. "Do you want something? Dad will buy anything as a reward."

"Really? Anything?" I wondered.

"Yeah, your mother said I shouldn't spoil you..." he sighed. "But screw her rules, she's not here now so we can do whatever we want!"

"Hmm, I don't know... honestly I would wish to not even be here..." I sighed. "But maybe we could go to the city after lunch? I don't know if Celica or Celeste would want to come, they're tired, but I want to go see the hero I talked you about."

"Right! The Hero of Blazing Hammer or something?" he said. "Sure, let's go look for them once we're done with lunch then! If we can find them and recruit them, it would be for the better. A Blacksmith-type Hero is very rare. Felicia could become their master."

"Right? We have to try, definitely!" I nodded. "Thanks dad!"

"No worries! I was already going to accept anyways if you wanted to go there," he laughed. "So I guess you still got that wish if you want something."

"Hmmm, then maybe we could go to the clothing shop and get everyone some comfier winter clothes, I would want that!" I said.

"Right, I guess if you'll be going outside more often, you'll need clothes for the cold," he nodded. "Alright, what else?"

"Hmmm... I want to eat more sweets from here. I think they got some really unique variety of things..." I said.

"Hahaha, quite the sweet tooth, you're like your mother," he laughed. "She tries her hardest to pretend she doesn't care about sweets, but she loves them and is always eating them. Before becoming a Saintess, she often indulged on sweets and candies in her studies as a teacher and scholar in the magician tower."

"Woah, I had no idea of that little info!" I nodded, rubbing my chin. "I could use that to my advantage..."

"Yeah, the best way to smoother her is by giving her sweets," he laughed. "Anyways, want to help me skin this thing? We'll make it into a stew and also barbeque."

"Sure! But what is it?" I wondered.

Dad pointed at the large bag where something inside was being held, he quickly opened the bag, revealing a large bird of over three meters of height, covered with red feathers, it had big, black scaled legs with sharp claws, and a pointy, long, black colored beak.

"Woah, it's a weird bird..." I analyzed it.

"It's a Blazing Roc, they live inside the dungeon I went," he said. "I wanted to taste some chicken and caught this thing. First time trying it myself, so let's give it a go, shall we?"

"Sure! I'm always up for some chicken! Maybe we could make some fried one too? Breaded chicken!" I said.

"You got it! Want to help?" he asked.

"Yeah! Let me help you skin it and cut it..."

Like that, I helped dad bleed it, skin it, and cut it down into large chunks. The scales and feathers were quite strong and possessed a lot of mana. Despite the creature being a flightless, lava-swimming bird, it was actually quite strong at Tier 7, so its materials were valuable.

"You can keep everything, make a cute dress with it or something," he said.

"Sure!" I nodded.

Like that, we started cooking together, I breaded the Roc's breasts, which we cut into smaller chunks, seasoned them, and then deep fried them one after another.

At the same time, dad made a delicious stew with the typical mix of potatoes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, radish, and carrots. It was smelling nice.

And also, he was making the legs as barbeque, covered on meat sauce and other spices, it was looking so good my tummy was rumbling already.

However, as I cooked and saw the beautiful feathers, I remembered that dad's birthday was

coming soon.

I usually always gift him mundane things... But maybe this time I should give him something

more personalized?

After all he's my dad and I love him a lot... I want to spoil him too.

Something nice for him using these scales and feathers would be nice.

Perhaps some sort of jacket, and pants, and a stylish hat, a whole set of armor/clothes

wouldn't be bad, and he goes well with the color red.

And if I imbue it with lots of other materials, I could gift him some top-notch equipment that

even a hero like him would find good.

"I think we're almost ready here, can you call the girls- Ah, they're here, haha!"

We noticed Celeste and Celica walking downstairs.

"Smells so good, what are you even making?" Celeste wondered; her hair was messy.

"Chicken?! It's chicken! I've missed fried chicken so much..." said Celica.

"Alright, I guess the food did its work! Come sit down, let's have a meal together," dad said.

"Felicia! Are you joining?"

"Sorry, busy... Bring me chicken though," Felicia said.

"Hah, always the same..." dad sighed, bringing her some stew and fried chicken.

Felicia was definitely what Alice called a "NEET" sometimes...
