Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 2012: Important And Mildly Stressful Conversations

-----

I observed my father, my brother, and my companions.

The current predicament could have been entirely averted if my brother hadn't betrayed my confidence.

However...

Her assertions held a degree of truth.

Indeed.

Perhaps confessing everything would bring a sense of relief. Disclosing the truth to them all...

And I admit, my kindness sometimes gets the better of me. Maintaining these falsehoods became increasingly burdensome. The constant reminders of my deception towards my own family were vexing.

"Very well, I shall reveal everything. Master Felicia and Aquarina’s family should also be present. In fact, everyone should," I declared. "Once they are all gathered, we can put an end to this."

"So, you intend to disclose this to everyone?" my mother inquired.

"It seems the most prudent course of action. With informants among us, it might be best to unveil the truth to all at once. Wouldn't you agree, brother?" I questioned, a hint of challenge in my voice.

"W-Why are you so upset... I already offered my apologies..." he stammered. "I'm sorry, alright? Ugh... please don't be angry with me..."

"This isn't about apologies; it's about the sentiment behind them. Your apology feels utterly insincere!" I retorted.

"Look, big sis, my reasoning aligns with yours. This matter is far too significant to keep concealed. You were bound to inform them sooner or later," he argued.

"And who designated you the arbiter of that decision? These are my affairs, my secrets. You had no right to divulge them!" I exclaimed, my anger escalating.

"Listen, I am your brother! I was concerned!" he shot back.

"Concerned?! You are but a child! Focus on your own well-being!" I fired back.

"Alright, alright, let's cease this bickering," my father intervened with a sigh. "Enough is enough. We mustn't let this escalate further."

"Ugh..." I fell into a pensive silence.

"...My apologies," my brother mumbled, his gaze lowered.

"Haaa..." I released a weary groan, my desire to argue extinguished. "Whatever. Uh, let's—"

"Lady Faylen, is it? We’ve crossed paths before, though I believe our interactions have been minimal," Yggdra stated, materializing beside me and settling next to my mother. "I serve as Sylphy's familiar as well."

"Ah, yes, I recall you now, but... extraordinary," my mother murmured, her eyes widening. "I sense an immense divinity emanating from you! Were you concealing it until now?!"

"Indeed, I was. I am a Spirit who emerged from the very tree Sylphy nurtured," Yggdra elaborated. "And..."

She proceeded to recount her evolution and further developments to my mother, who appeared utterly astonished to learn that the modest sapling I had once cared for had matured into such a formidable familiar.

"This is truly astounding," my mother breathed. "So, through your evolution, you achieved apotheosis and became... a divine spirit?"

"An early ascent, I must admit. I hesitate to boast," Yggdra replied with a gentle smile. "However, within Sylphy’s domain and across Cloudia, my influence has expanded considerably, reaching a state that mirrors Yggdrasil. I have also been graced with her blessings and was once extended an invitation to the Avalonian Court."

"T-The Avalonian Court?!" my mother gasped, her breath catching in her throat. "T-That is...! What?! Wait, you cannot be serious?!"

"What exactly is that?" my father inquired, a quizzical expression on his face.

"T-That refers to... did they extend an invitation...?!" my mother managed to ask, her voice trembling.

"Naturally, Sylphy was included. She too is undergoing a transformation into a goddess, developing divinity and bestowing her blessings upon Aquarina as her chosen saint," Yggdra revealed.

"Aaahh!" My mother’s eyes rolled back, and she promptly lost consciousness.

"Faylen?!" my father cried out in alarm. "Sylphy, what on earth are you two discussing? I am completely bewildered by this conversation."

"Uh..." I glanced at my mother, who seemed unharmed despite her collapse. "Well... how should we even begin to explain this?"

"The Avalonian Court is a divine assembly established by Yggdrasil and the esteemed Divine Spirit Gods," Yggdra clarified. "You and Faylen have formed pacts with one of the Elemental Spirit Kings, correct? They are integral members of this court."

"T-They invited you and Sylphy to join a celestial pantheon?!" my father exclaimed, his voice echoing with disbelief.

"Not to join, merely to be guests for an audience," Yggdra corrected him gently.

"I don't believe we could be considered official members for... perhaps a thousand years. Do not be overly concerned, Father," I reassured him.

"A-Ahhh, somehow that offers little comfort. I mean, no, that is truly remarkable. It might very well be the most significant achievement any member of our family has ever attained..." he muttered, still processing the revelation. "Nevertheless, the very notion is quite extraordinary to contemplate."

"Indeed, it is, isn't it?" I chuckled, my amusement tinged with concern. "But you shouldn't dwell on it too much. We have pressing matters to attend to. And more importantly, will Mom ever wake up?!"

I swiftly sought assistance from Alice and Yggdra. Together, our combined efforts were directed towards healing my mother until her eyes fluttered open once more.

"Forgive me... I fainted," she whispered, a touch of embarrassment in her voice. "I suppose the shock was overwhelming... What you mentioned, Yggdra, was simply too startling. However, I believe I can begin to comprehend it. Still, not even your grandparents have been honored with an invitation to the Avalonian Court..."

"Oh, is that so? But they are incredibly formidable," I remarked, genuinely surprised.

"Strength has never been the requirement. You need something that cannot be obtained by strength alone," my mother stated. "Divinity born from spirituality."

"Hm," Yggdra acknowledged with a nod. "And that is precisely what we possess."

"I suppose it is also thanks to Alice, your unique spirit that was born from your soul. She possesses so many unique powers, including the ability to help others grow quickly and evolve, correct?" my mother inquired.

"I guess you know me well, Faylen," Alice responded, gracefully flying to my side.

"I do. By now, I truly do," my mother affirmed, nodding slightly. "Anyway... Enjoy your breakfast, dear. I require some time to gather my thoughts. Once everyone is assembled, we shall proceed to your dungeon."

Following these words, I was finally able to savor my breakfast in peace. Aquarina stirred from her slumber shortly thereafter, as did her parents. Her younger sister was also present, toddling about and attempting to clamber onto the dining table.

We shared a peaceful breakfast. Aquarina’s parents were quite astonished by Scarlet and Sapphire, and then even more so by Yggdra, as we unveiled their true forms and shared more of the truth.

"So, we are heading to the dungeon to show them her?" Aquarina inquired.

"Indeed. We will be showing them the first floor as well, so that should lessen the shock once we finally reach her realm," I explained with a nod.

"Well, I know I acted like a bit of an ass before, but I fully support your decisions now," she declared with a warm smile. She then embraced me, planting kisses all over my face. "Also, you are incredibly cute today. Did I happen to mention that?"

"Heheh, really?" I chuckled, finally feeling a sense of relaxation as I spent some precious time with my girlfriend.

"Yep. You looked truly beautiful when you woke up," she commented, kissing my lips tenderly. "You are undeniably the prettiest girl."

"Stop it. It's embarrassing!" I protested, burying my face into her chest. Her large breasts pressed softly against my face, a comforting sensation.

They felt so warm and yielding. It was difficult to suppress the urge to touch them right there, in front of her parents.

Damn it. I even felt a craving to suckle on them. That always managed to alleviate any stress I was feeling.

Perhaps tonight will be the night.

"Heheh, why would it be embarrassing to dote on my baby girl?" she teased, kissing my lips and gently exploring my tongue. "They are still quite occupied, so would you like to take a break in your room?"

"Oh..." I murmured, swallowing with some difficulty. "Hm... okay~"

We stealthily made our way upstairs while Yggdra, Scarlet, Sapphire, and Alice expertly held the attention of our parents.
