Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? -
Chapter 14 Planting My Eden Apple Tree
-----
Woah, look at this thing! I did it!
It has been two months since the first time I tried to rise my little seed, and now, it had developed into a small plant.
Every day I had been nurturing it using Agriculture and insane amounts of Mana until I dropped exhausted.
It had been growing by around half a centimeter each day, sometimes less, but it advanced, nonetheless.
Now, it was around 60 centimeters big, half a meter! And it was big!
It was all green, with many leaves popping out of it.
Mother gave me a planter to put it in, alongside some spiritual water to water it every day alongside my nurturing.
Now this plant had become like my companion or something… Haha.
It is always at my side, and I like to see it slowly grow bigger.
It feels like little by little, I am progressing, and it is an addictive feeling.
But it still just a plant, right? I can't really treat it like a pet, we cannot interact together…
Nonetheless, I like to speak to it and caress it, and take good care of it.
Ah right, two months had passed, and I've grown a bit more.
I can now finally walk in all fours, rolling around for so long was really a pain!
But my baby body had developed enough I can independently crawl.
One baby step at a time!
Due to this, mother is finally letting me out of the crib to walk around the first floor of the house.
Our house is big, I never truly realized it.
It is around 20 meter cubic. What the heck? I never saw such a big house. It is made of wood, but a very resilient and fire proof magic wood of sorts.
I like to crawl around and sneak behind my mother or father.
Like now!
Hehehe…
I found my father in his room, he was reading a book as a break after going into the farm.
I looked at him peacefully read the book. It looked like a normal fantasy fiction book or something, I don't know how to read yet.
He suddenly noticed me and glares at me, but I hide right away behind the door.
"Chu!"
"Huh? Did I see a little mouse around here?" he wondered, as he began to slowly walk outside.
I hide beneath a couch as he walks outside.
"Hmm… Must have been my imagination."
Hehe… I can't help but laugh stupidly, I think even my mind as a child is enjoying this dumb thing.
"Fufufu…"
"Ah? Gotcha!"
He caught me red-handed!
"GRAAA!"
I roar as I bite his arm, but its so hard it is like biting pure metal.
"Hahaha! Are we playing being bears again? You dare oppose your father bear?" he asked.
"Graaaoo!"
"Graaa!"
He plays around with me a lot; we even pretend to be bears and bite each other playfully.
Sometimes he attacks me with a lot of tickles, and I can't help but laugh out loud, this baby body is way too sensitive.
"Heheh, that tickles!"
"You're so cute Sylphy-chan! I will tickle my daughter as much as I want!"
Father continues to tickle me as he suddenly tickles my baby belly and I burst into laughter.
It seems that mother heard us, as she called us to come down.
"You two bears, come down, lunch is ready!"
"Oh, alright dear! Come, Sylph."
He carried me with his big and protective arms, as we went downstairs and had some nice lunch all together.
"Uwah, the tree you're raising is already so big, Sylph… I can feel it is emanating a lot of magic from within too!" said mother.
"Really?" I asked.
"Indeed. It is very beautiful… It will grow into a big tree one of these days… We'll have to plant it though… So you won't be able to be with it at all times." She sighed.
"Eeeeh?"
"S-Sorry dearie, but if you want it to live and grow bigger, you'll have to plant it somewhere… Hmm, how about just at the side of the house? So you can come out with us and nurture it every day." Said mother.
"Fine…" I sighed.
I guess its true, trees need a lot of space to grow bigger.
"How about you give it a name?" asked my father.
"A name? But it is… just a tree…" I sighed.
"Not just a tree if you've been rising it for this time, right? It's your friend, so you gotta give it a name." said my father.
"Indeed, that it doesn't move, or that it is not as interactive as an animal doesn't mean that it is not a living being. Even plants, the tiniest grass, has a soul, did you know? And the soul of this little tree… I can feel it, it is very attached to you, dear." Said my mother.
"Ooh… Really?"
"Indeed! It is always get more brighter when you're closer." Said my father.
"Also, this is a very mystical tree, Eden Apples are a tree said to have been gifted to us by the Goddess of Life to nurture humanity in the Beginning. It is an important fruit, yet forgotten in the modern history… As a plant created by a goddess, it is bound to be more special than grass." Said my mother.
So that's how it is… I cannot see any glow or light from it when I look at it though, it must be my parent's special abilities that allow them to see this kind of stuff…
"I shee!"
After three days, we ended planting my tree at the side of the house, in a place where a lot of sun could reach it all day.
I named her Yggdra, and assumed it was a girl, although mother said that Eden Apples were a hermaphrodite plant that pollinated itself.
The breeze was rather nice that day, as I saw my little tree resting over the dirt.
A sudden faint glow came from it, I was barely able to notice it…
I looked at the small tree as I felt a sudden whisper…
"Thank you…"
…
Eh?
It… spoke?
Or was a I hallucinating?
It didn't said anything else…
