Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?-Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Is It Okay To Feed Dragon Meat To A Baby?
ββ
With the two of them deciding on what to do with the dragonβs corpse, mother eventually brought me back to my crib because she didnβt want me to see something as gross as butchering the dragon. She told me it could traumatize me in the future or something. fπ―eeπΈπ¦ππoΡ΅πl.cππ
As if seeing its sliced head fall from the skies was not traumatizing already!
Fortunately, my mind is that of my mature self of my previous life. In other words, I donβt think anything can really traumatize me. To be honest, I was feeling something more along the lines of shock, but thanks to motherβs magic, I quickly felt better.
Ugh, just seeing this battle exhausted me, though...
Without thinking about it too deeply, I ended up falling asleep.
...
.....
While sleeping, I somewhat woke up sometimes, hearing my parents talking.
βIs Sylphy alright?β
βYes, dear. I put her to sleep after the whole thing. I think seeing the fight took too much of a toll on her...β
βO-Oh... maybe we shouldnβt have let her see the fight.β
βNo, itβs fine. The sooner she sees this type of stuff, the better.β
βHmm... but still...β
βItβs fine, itβs fine. Itβs not like weβre going to throw her into battle or something.β
βRight. Anyways, what about that Dragon King? I thought he wouldnβt annoy us after we defeated the Demon Lord.β
βIndeed... but he had close ties with him after all. It was in my expectations that dragons would eventually come here.β
βHow did he know of our location, though? This is bad... if more come... itβll become a pain in the head.β
βIndeed... in any case, I let him pass through the barrier because it was a good opportunity to eat dragon meat and give Sylphy her first taste of dragon heart. Oh, bathing her in the dragonβs blood would also be good for her endurance. At such a young age, itβs bound to make her stronger.β
βDonβt you think thatβs a bit too much? How can we bathe our own girl in blood?!β
βFufu... donβt mind it, donβt mind it! I donβt think sheβll mind as long as we do it while sheβs sleeping.β
βFine... I guess itβs for the greater good. She has to grow stronger before the next Demon Lord is created by the world anyway.β
βIndeed... we have to take good care of our girl. Sheβll surely change history in the future, just like we once did.β
βHmm... for now, letβs enjoy every little day. Iβm too tired of fights, deaths and wars... I just want to relax.β
βMe too, honestly! Now, letβs make some stew. Speaking of food, can you grill a few steaks? Oh, and make some skewered meat as well.β
βAlright!β
How odd... I barely understood half of what they spoke. Apparently, mother had some kind of barrier around the house, but she let the dragon enter so we could eat it...
...
Really, mother?!
And that dragon came from the Dragon King, who had close ties to the Demon Lord... that I do not know the identity of. The only thing I know is that my parents defeated it.
Father mentioned he participated in wars... perhaps he and mother are in retirement now and just donβt want to fight anymore. They said something about the world creating another Demon Lord. Why? The world has sentience...? For what reason would it create a Demon Lord?
Ugh, so many mysteries, yet I donβt want to ask them because theyβll be suspicious of me being so eloquent at speaking and everything. I better make it seem as if Iβm just a genius slowly developing my personality.
Ah, Iβm also going to be bathed in dragon blood, apparently. It doesnβt sound so bad, to be honest. Maybe Iβll actually enjoy it? Plus, she said I can get stronger from it alongside eating the dragon heart.
As I woke up and sat on my crib, I sensed a delicious smell. The smell of delicious meat being roasted and grilled... ahh... itβs been a while since I ate meat. Then again... as a baby, can I even properly eat meat? Ugh... but the smell... mnnh~
Smelling that, I decided to wake up for real and make a little fuss.
βMaaah! Maaah!β
My parents quickly noticed me and ran towards me after hearing me make noise.
βGood timing, dearie. Itβs time for dinner.β
My mother grabbed me and quickly sat me down over her lap, presenting me an enormous feast of dragon meat.
βW-Will she be able to properly digest things as a baby?β my father asked as he grabbed a skewer of meat for himself, quickly biting down on it.
βAt the very least she should be able to eat the minced dragon heart meat in the stew. I made it just for her. I added a lot of blood into it as well. Here dearie.β
After saying that, mother began to spoonfeed me with the delicious dragon heart stew.
It was so flavorful and... hot! Way too hot! Then again, it wasnβt really a problem, mother was constantly bathing me with healing magic, so it felt like nothing to me.
I devoured everything quite quickly. In fact, I even felt like my metabolism was augmented. What I ate quickly turned into energy in an instant... and my body soon began to overflow with a red aura.
βOoh! Youβre using that spell to help her digest? Good work.β
βIndeed. Enhanced Metabolism is a Tier 8 spell that can easily enhance the metabolism of someone. In battle it can make you thrice as strong, but it also enhances the other body functions, such as digestion, blood flow, and other similar functions. If I couple it with Rest, a Tier 7 spell that heals exhaustion from the body, its side effect is easily taken away... fufu, now, Sylphy-chan, want more?β
βMaaah!β
My mother was a genius! She used these spells to help me eat and digest as much food as I wanted!
She quickly began to give me more stew, alongside the dragon brain made into croquettes, small pieces of dragon steak, and even a piece of dragon tongueβs meatloaf.
It was all so tasty, no matter the body part. Who knew dragons could be a heavenly delicacy!
As I continued eating, my body continued to be strengthened. In fact, I could even feel like my muscles, senses, and mana was increasing exponentially...
Nothing emerged in my status, but I could feel that this was a way to grow stronger outside the system, and a pretty cheat-like method at that...
