Reincarnated As The Hero’s Daughter: Wait, Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 916 What's Happening?-----
Without wanting to, I ended hearing Aquarina discussing with her mother, not something I've ever seen more than once or twice. They usually get along really well, and her mom's so carefree that she has little restrictions on her too.
So what's happening? And what did she meant by leaving me behind?
"Listen Aquarina, you're not leaving her behind… forever. Okay?" Her mother sighed. "You have to be a bit more mature about these things. You know what happened back with Arachne and everything else… How everyone almost died? Remember that? Whatever enemies we'll face in the future… Not even you nor us will be able to take them down if we don't do everything in our power to get stronger."
"But… Is there no other way?" Aquarina cried. "I just don't want to… be separated from her…"
"Sigh… It's not like she'll disappear from existence, Aquarina! You need to grow up a bit more and begin to understand that life's not all nice and carefree. There are times where we need to sacrifice precious time with those we love… So we can protect them." Her mother seemed pained with her words.
"No! I don't wanna! And I don't care! I don't care at all about you and your dumb stupid things!" Aquarina cried, acting furious, she was in tears, suffering.
"Y-You insolent brat! How can you say that to your mother?!" Nepheline was losing her patience. "Hey! Where are you going?! Come back!"
"I don't care! Screw you and the traditions!" Aquarina cried, running away.
Suddenly the door was slammed open as Aquarina appeared, running through the hall. I had hidden in the bathroom next to their room, shocked of what I've heard…"This girl…" Nepheline sighed. "Just what can I do to convince her to trust me, just this once? Have I been an irresponsible mother?"
I remained in silence as I heard Nepheline walk away as well. I ended sighing in relief once both were gone. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel really afraid, and concerned.
Just what were they even talking about? About leaving and… traditions? Is Aquarina moving away from us with her parents? But where? And why?
She clearly doesn't want to but they're pretty much forcing her…
But if I ask them straight away, won't that make them even angrier? Because it would mean I spied on their personal conversation, that's not good either.
Ugh, what do I do? What can I do as Aquarina's girlfriend to help her?
I ended feeling really down, sitting on the bathroom's toilet, and resting my head over my hands.
Despite how strong I've grown… I can't help but find these problems so hard to deal with.
There are just things you can't just resolve with strength alone, personal problems that won't be resolved unless we properly deal with them.
Ugh, I shouldn't be sitting here like a dumbass.
"Aquarina, wait for me!"
I quickly stepped out of the bathroom and ran to the room we shared, where I heard her crying over her bed…
My baby…
"Aquarina? Are you there?"
I knocked the door, without wanting to get inside rudely.
"Ah…! S-Sylphy…?! Aren't you having din… dinner?"
She seemed surprised.
"Baby come on, open the door. You're crying, right? Let me see you! Please…"
"I-I'm not… I'm not crying…"
"You are, I heard you… What's going on? Can't you tell me what's happening?"
"…"
Aquarina remained in silence, as I ended having to forcefully open the door with my strength, breaking it a bit.
And then, I found her sitting over the bed, trying to clean her tears with her hands, her face was slightly swollen for crying so much, and her eyes were red.
"Hey…"
I walked to her side and sat with her, hugging her shoulders. She didn't wanted to look at me in the eyes at all, but she slowly calmed down as I caressed her head.
"Everything's alright… Don't cry, okay? It's fine…""Sniff… Sorry… I shouldn't had gotten like this… I just…"
"What's going on?" I asked. "What happened?"
"I-It's… I don't know if I can tell you yet." Aquarina sighed. "It's not something easy to tell… And I don't… I won't do it anyways! I… Ugh…"
"It's alright…" I sighed. "Whatever you decide, I'll always support your decision." I smiled back at her.
"S-Sylphy…" Aquarina's eyes were about to cry again. "Sorry for making you worry, I'm fine…"
She gently held my hand, yet even now, I could tell she wasn't being true to herself, nor to me. She was hiding something, but the more I wanted to know, the more I felt like I would be a bother if I tried to ask her and get involved in her personal life, the life of her and her family.
"A-Are you sure? Come on, please tell me…" I asked her again.
"I-It's nothing too serious." She smiled. "Don't worry."
"But I need to know! How else will I know what to do if I don't?" I asked her. "I thought we trusted each other…"
"Y-Yeah! It's just that… Ugh, maybe we can talk about this once we're on the port." She sighed. "Can you wait a bit? To make up my mind…"
"S-Sure…" I sighed, giving up. "Let's go eat something now, alright?"
"Hmm." She nodded, after she washed her face with her magic, we moved back to the dinning hall and ate something with everyone else.
The atmosphere was oddly silent aside from my friends chatting a bit… Aquarina was silent, slightly mad at her mother, and her mom was also silent too, crossing her arms while just thinking angrily.
Once we ate, my mother called for me, asking me what was happening.
"I wish I knew! But I just have no idea either." I shrugged. "I just heard them both discussing and then Aquarina started crying… I don't know what to do so I just stayed at her side. She doesn't want to tell me either."
"It's the same with Nepheline." My mother crossed her arms. "I'm racking my brains trying to think what it could be but I just can't remember… And that muscle-headed Amazonian woman is not speaking either, as tough as stubborn as a rock in both body and mind, isn't she?"
"Sigh… I guess mother and daughter are very similar in that regard." I sighed.
