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

-----

The next morning, Sphynxiette and her people felt much better. They really needed a good rest! After that whole day of sleeping, they didn't need to pretend to be fine anymore, they were fine. The trio was also able to speak correctly now, and Sphynxiette was talking with them non-stop, helping them catch up with everything.

While we were having breakfast with them, they explained to us each of their own stories. Apparently Sphynxiette was well known as a powerful leader of their tribe, someone that fought against the invaders head-first. They couldn't go into details; it has been so long since then that they had dizzy memories.

This trio was much younger than her, like, at least five times as young as Sphynxiette. She called the kids instead of her equals, despite looking almost the same as her. There was something she could see in them we couldn't, that made her instantly understand they were much younger.

From what they talked; they were younger warriors that fought in the last battle before their entire world was invaded. They were captured alongside many more. But only the three of them were sealed in that pyramid together.

"We have… no idea where the others… might be."

"It is so sad… that we are separated…"

"But thank you, for saving our lives… We are very grateful."

"It's fine, we did what we had to." My mother smiled. "So what are your plans right now? I don't think you should go against the Gods right now either… Our world, despite all the wars, has reached a relative peace. Even though we've fought a lot, things are mainly stable, I think."

"Would you like to move to our town in the surface down below?" Asked my father. "You're big and everything, yeah… But we can always say you're Demons. They come in all shapes and sizes after all."

The trio looked at Sphynxiette, as if waiting for her response. She sighed, looking back at my father.

"We'll think about it. We've been enough of a burden for you. And we are not dumb either. We know we bring a lot of attention, if we compare our appearances to you. We are indeed quite shiny and big, and perhaps intimidating. It won't be easy to get used to a society of much smaller, frailer people." She sighed.

"Then maybe move to a secluded area for now? There's a lot of deserts, mountains, and so on across the continent." Said Nepheline. "I could introduce you to some places full of ores you can eat. So you could settle down there and slowly recover all your former strength while looking for clues for more of your kind."

"We can help you look for them too. We've been searching for ruins for a while." Shade commented, after sipping some tea. "How about that?"

"W-We are grateful." Sphynxiette blushed a bit. "You've done so much, it's fine to just leave us be, you know? We can take care of ourselves…"

"No, you're people not of this world, stranded and lost. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing we left you on your own after everything you've gone through." My mother smiled. "And well, it's not like there isn't special magic that could help reduce your size or change your appearance to easily camouflage with our society, if possible. Though it'll all depend on your decisions at the end. For now, we should get moving. We are looking for Pyuku's people too."

"Oh, I see. Well, please, if you don't mind, we would love to come along." Sphynxiette said. "As you said, we are aliens to this world, and we are still learning the ropes."

"Of course, come along!" I said. "The more friends the better! Right?"

"Y-Yeah, I mean… Sure!" Aquarina nodded, she was still slightly overwhelmed by the giantess in front of us.

After having a hearty breakfast, we slowly packed everything to get going. The desert has been a rather beautiful yet overwhelming place. We meet new people and everything, but it was time to move on into the wetlands, probably our last stop. We decided to ride our flying familiars to get through the desert quickly. We've been training our bodies through constant exercise, but our parents thought it was time to just leave already.

The beautiful golden pyramid beneath the sand would never look the same now. After we've learned the truth about Orichalcum, it was quite hard to even think of this as a metal, but the blood of people that were massacred and tortured instead. It really… is quite distasteful to even wear anything using this metal.

Even though Sphynxiette and her people don't mind us using it, because it is already there and they're fine as long as it's not the Gods, we still felt a bit off. Most of our equipment includes a bit of Orichalcum after all.

Hell, Luck's weapons, those powerful claws that absorb his powers and change shape, are made entirely out of Orichalcum. He would have thrown that weapon away if it wasn't because it belonged to Elise before, and she probably didn't know the origin of Orichalcum either.

Anyways, Pyuku and Nephilim were getting along surprisingly well with Sphynxiette and her people. Especially the slimes, who admired the "shiny people" a lot.

"I see, so you're not so different than us, trying to look for your lost kind." Smiled Sphynxiette. "You're a noble little boy. Well, you've already found most of them, I'm glad for you."

"Though… you said… that there were golden birds trapping your friends before?" The black-eyed person asked.

"Ah, yeah, the Golden Flame Phoenixes. They hold a striking resemblance with you." My mother said. "And also feed on the Orichalcum of the pyramids…"

"Birds like us?" Wondered Sphynxiette. "Ah, it must have been the monsters they created using their technology. They took our blood and flesh to create monsters that poorly imitated our toughness and golden feathers. Those birds must have been one of the few survivors. I am glad you slain them, they were aberrations only made to torture us."

"S-So that's how it was… Well, we even ate them and all." Laughed my father. "Our son inherited their power as well, he's growing very strong now."

"Well, I'm glad they were of some use to you." Sphynxiette smiled calmly. "Oh, such a cold and wet air. Are these the wetlands?"

In front of us, a new and beautiful scenery opened up.
