Reincarnated As The Hero’s Daughter: Wait, Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

-----

After the whole fight and rescuing the captured Slimes, Pyuku seemed incredibly happy, but at the same time, full of questions. He wanted them to wake up right away, but my mother said that it depended on how long it would take for their mass to fully restore. It might take from a few hours to more than three days. So we had to be patient and not force them to wake up.

"Just calm down and chill out for now, Pyuku. We can deal with them once they wake up. Relax, now that they're fine and resting. There shouldn't be anything to worry about!" Aquarina said, patting Pyuku over his long blue hair, which gave off a rainbow hue.

"O-Okay, I'll wait then. I just… It's getting harder to concentrate when they're in my mind all the time now." He sighed. "Maybe I should try sleeping for now, Aquarina. I'll go to your Soul Scape if you don't mind."

"Sure, come in." Aquarina smiled, as the slime swiftly turned into a tiny blob of blue color and leaped inside her soul, disappearing afterwards.

"Well, it's better if he sleeps than stay awake full of worry." I shrugged. "Maybe once he wakes up the slimes are finally awakened too."

"Yeah, let's leave him be." Aquarina agreed. "Now, what do we do with this guy over here?"

Aquarina pointed at the giant, monstrous tree corpse resting over the floor. It had been a slight pain to deal with this mutated tree creature, but it eventually went down easily once the heart was broken. Mother also came back after inspecting around without us, and brought up a few things she found, amidst the endless vegetation.

Apparently this was a small research center of the Gods, or something like that. There were no weird experiments on people, and they were simply trying to clone and create a functional Yggdrasil Tree for themselves. From the vestigial writings she found, which she's still investigating, it said they were trying to make their own tree which could be then harvested in their Heavenly Realm for materials.

Eventually, it all went down to shit once it continued failing and failing. Eventually they left the place without being able to replicate it properly. However, a few of these plants they made were left behind. My mother, after inspecting the mutated tree corpse, thought of something.

She told us that this monster wasn't a single organism, but the result of many different mutated cloned trees that took different forms, merged together. Or perhaps absorbed into a greater one. Once it died, most of the vines, flowers, and other creatures we meet died instantly, and once we peeked outside the ruins, most of the tall grass was falling down and turning brown… There was the normal small grass, but the overly tall one was just dying!

"Apparently this thing was responsible for the very annoying super tall grass. It is a pity it died off though, it was a nice and interesting place. Almost a wonder of nature." I sighed.

"Yeah, to think it was just produced by the gods' experiments, just like the Sunstone Plateau. Kind of is a bummer." Said Aquarina. "Then again… This whole continent was made by them, so it should make sense, I think…"

"I guess." I shrugged, sitting down over the tree's roots. "Hmm, I guess we have to see the positive side to this, materials. It is a pretty high quality one. It'll going to give us amazing wood, sap, fruits… whatever those things holding the slimes were, medicinal herbs, flowers, and even those vine tongue things. I can see they could all be amazing materials for all sorts of potions and elixirs. They're compatible with my Physique too."

"Ooh, I hadn't thought about it that way, but you're right. This whole thing's a treasure trove of materials! Will you store it?" Aquarina wondered, jumping over the tree and wandering over it.

"Later maybe." I said, as I quickly checked my quest rewards. "Hmm, I got a quest for defeating this thing and rescuing the slimes. Look what I got."

Aquarina ran to my side, checking the items I materialized out of my Inventory. Her eyes widened when she saw they included a long scepter made of almost the same wood as the thing we just defeated, and a few bottles with a golden liquid.

"Oh, a scepter! It has a lot of magic potential inside. But it doesn't give bonus stats like your other equipment… Seems to be really good for using Nature Magic though." Aquarina said, and then checking the bottle. "What's this thing? Oh, a sap?"

"Let me inspect it." I said, quickly giving it a glance.

-----

[Mutated Yggdrasil Sap (S- Grade)] x3

A bottle full of the highest quality sap extracted from the mutated, cloned Yggdrasil Tree. It contains their life force, mana, and spirit energy concentrated in very large quantities, which can be toxic for almost anybody that doesn't have a strong Physique with an affinity for Nature Element. Consuming it might cause a variety of random effects, usually beneficial only if the consumer has affinity with it.

"Yikes, I'm not touching that." Aquarina quickly gave them back to me. "Drink them then, so you can get a bit stronger." She started playing with the scepter.

"I was planning to do that already- Wait, Aquarina, don't play with the scepter so carelessly!" I tried to stop her, but suddenly she imbued too much Mana into it.

FLAAASH!

The wooden scepter gave a bright glow from the green jewel imbued on top of it, the flash of green light hit the ground. Large vines as strong as the ones the Yggdrasil clone possessed surged from the ground, beginning to wrap themselves around her body.

"Uwaah! Sylphy?! This thing has a mind of its own!" She cried.

"It's just the basic magic imbued into the scepter I think." I laughed a bit, quickly freeing her from the vines. I touched them and used m Agriculture Arts to instantly control them, forcing them to free her.

"Ugh, I'm never touching that thing again!" Aquarina sighed in relief, as she started to laugh a bit right after. "Hahaha… It was a bit dumb of my part."

"Hahaha! Why did you even do that?" I continued laughing.

"Dunno, you looked a bit gloomy, so I wanted to cheer you up!" Aquarina acted silly just for me.

"Awww, you silly bean. Alright, let's go eat something now." I held her hand, regrouping with everyone else. The day was already coming to an end.

The scepter seemed interesting, but it didn't really do anything I couldn't do already. So I was considering two options with it. Either to remake it with the system powers for bonus stats, so I can have a special scepter to conjure magic alone.

Or… I can gift it to Selene, the Saintess of the Arboren to boost her overall capabilities and power. I could even use it as some sort of reward for her, so her loyalty to me grow stronger. That scepter could even be used as some sort of treasure for them, so they have something, a "gift" from me that they can treasure. Maybe this way their economy could rise by gathering treasures, or something.

I just thought Selene could really use it, so I'll gift it to her later.
