Reincarnated As The Hero’s Daughter: Wait, Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 779 Recognized By The Village-----
When Luck glanced at the hundreds of small, colorful entities walking around the room, he panicked. He never thought Lara was actually saying the truth, even now, he was confused, wondering what they truly were.
"These… what are these things?!" Luck asked.
"Huh? They're my buddies of course, dummy!" Lara giggled playfully. "They're my friends, they've been always there since I was born, helping me and… protecting me! And they help and protect you too, they really like you! Some people call them… Spirits."
"Spirits…" Luck said, his face quickly changing expressions. "I-I'm sorry… for never believing you, to think you always had them around. Are they…?"
"Yep! They're the ones that help me conjure healing magic, or somethings boost the crops so they can grow healthier, or the soil with nutrients. Sometimes, they even can help me bring down rain so we can get water and have a moister place." Lara smiled. "Oh, and that sunny guy over there likes to roast things."
"I remember my brother once told me Spirits… represented this entire world, they were everywhere. They were part of nature, of the fire, of the water, of the wind…" Luck said. "But not many can communicate with them, even those that have magic talent, don't seem to be able to find them either."
"I guess he was right! You're special though, you seem to have already made a contract with your own Spirit Familiar." Lara said. "Meanwhile, well, it is mostly thanks to my weird blessing, it pretty much makes any Spirit I come across into my familiar automatically, haha. Except those that already have a master, of course."
In theory, although Lara's power seemed slightly underwhelming, she was capable of gathering so many spirits that even unifying the entire world's elements together within her magic could become a possibility…
"Wait, I have a spirit myself?!" Luck wondered."Yeah… Now that you're awake, you've awakened both a Physique and… something deeper, magic!" Lara said, touching his chest with a playful smile.
Luck suddenly blushed a bit over the girl being so close to him.
"It seems you've developed a magic circle, and there's another being dwelling inside of your soul." She smiled. "So nice~ I hope it can help you be as strong as you wanted, Luck! But… dummy!"
BONK!
Lara quickly hit his head.
"Hey! What the hell was that for?!" Luck cried.
"Dummy! Idiot! Why did you just went into danger like that? Reckless… If you didn't awakened such a power beforehand, you would had just died!" Lara sighed. "If you wanted to do that, you should had just asked for my help, we would had beaten that together."
"I… Well, I wanted to prove to you that I was someone strong, that I could be more of help, asking for your assistance would had beaten the purpose…" Luck sighed, looking at his own, scarred hands. "Sorry for worrying you and big brother."
"Sigh…" Lara sighed, sitting at Lucks side. "Y-You know you don't need to show me that you're strong or something… Right? You're… my friend, and someone important, I would… I don't need you to prove me anything! Because… because I…"
"Hey!" Suddenly, Luck's big brother arrived. "Luck! You're finally awake!" He ran towards his little brother and hugged him. "You damn kid! You had the whole damn village worried about you!"
"E-Eh? The whole village?" Luck asked.
"Of course, you're the handyman everyone cares about after all, all of your tiny, odd jobs ended making the people care about you a lot, you know?" Sighed his big brother. "Hell, even the grumpy chief was relieved you were safe and sane…"
"I-Is that so…? Everyone… Was worried?" Luck felt shocked.
"Yeah, can you move? Let's go out!" His brother dragged him out of the house.
"H-Hey! Wait a second!" Luck cried.
"Yeah, let's go see everyone!" Lara decided to save what she wanted to say for later, and decided to bring Luck with everyone else in the village.
Once he stepped out, he was surprised. He saw dozens of people, all of them part of his everyday life, yet which he never thought that cared about him at all.
"Luck! You're alright?!"
"Thank god you're fine, boy!"
"I don't know what I would had done without you to always help me with my crops, dear."
"Luck! W-What you did was so reckless… but you're so cool! You took down a blazing wild boar?! Insane!"
"I don't think I would ever… have as much courage as you do."
"Luck! Thank the gods you're safe!"
Luck was surrounded by everyone, as his heart began beating faster and faster. His eyes barely were containing his tears…
He always thought of himself as useless, as someone that nobody cared for. As someone that nobody ever thought about… He always thought he would never be important, at all.
Yet… all his actions over these years, his help, his hard work, it all was worth it.
People noticed him slowly, those that didn't liked him slowly changed their minds, and those that were indifferent noticed him as well.
In just a few years… He became someone important, which everyone cared for.
"E-Everyone… Yes, I am alright… Thank you for worrying…" He sighed, feeling embarrassed.
The chief slowly stepped forward, greeting Luck.
"Luck, don't be so reckless ever again…" He sighed. "Please, for your father, and your mother, you must value your life… Don't be so reckless, your life, our lives… they're precious things, we cannot throw them away, son."
"…I understand, chief." Luck sighed. "I'm really sorry."
The chief sighed, stroking his long silver beard.
"Fine, now, how about we help you out butchering that big thing you caught?" The chief wondered.
"R-Right…" Luck nodded. "We should have a feast, everyone! Let's eat that big thing to celebrate!"
"Oooh! So generous…"
"A-Are you sure?"
"I would not back down then!"
"Alright boys, let's help him butcher that huge boar together!"
"Huzzah!"
Like that, Luck lived the best day of his life, as he realized he was beloved by his village, and as he saw everyone smile and fill their bellies with delicious meat.
Slowly, yet steadily, he started to grow more mature, and let go of his traumas, or of his fears.
As time went by, Luck wished these peaceful days could last forever.
Yet nothing in this world lasts forever…
Even less when the darkness seeking the Heroes slowly made their way to his village.
Luck and Lara's peaceful lives would soon, and abruptly, come to an end.
