How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 107



Only Noblemtl

Episode 107. The boy’s identity.

Kael looked down at Jack, who was rolling around on the floor of the villa in denial, screaming and swearing.

Returning to the Black Forest again, he chose the wyvern core from among the upper-level monster cores he had brought with him and succeeded in creating four wyvern ‘dolls’, excluding the first wyvern that was successful.

Just as Raisa and Raina had said that they could only make two or three dolls a day, he, who had made a total of five wyvern dolls today, was also feeling the extreme drain on his magical power for the first time in a long while.

Among the higher-level monsters, there were many wyverns that could understand human speech, and the core of the wyverns that he had were those with the intelligence to properly understand his speech.

While checking to see if they were following his orders, Kael discovered one problem. Although they were following his orders, whenever they destroyed something or used force, his magic power was consumed.

It was a natural story, considering that it was the core of a monster that was already dead… . Assuming that you had to move these monsters, control your own doll in the form of Idea, and fight against them.

Even though I was confident, I came to the conclusion that it was impossible.

There were only three people who could use magic: himself and his twin, and that number was not enough to simultaneously reveal the monsters to the empire. Kael, who had come to the conclusion that he needed a magician who could at least pretend to be him, was able to think of a person who was perfectly suited for that.

That’s it….

“Ahhhh-! Seriously-!! Why are you doing this to me!!!”

Jack was about to sweep the floor of the villa’s living room with his hair. He was a character who did not appear in the original work, who could freely use teleportation anywhere in the empire like me, was very good at magic, and was kind to me.

“Are you going to do it? Are you going to say it?”

If we leave it like this, it seems like he’ll be like this until the next day. Kael, who was trying to wait for the boy to calm down, asked, and at the sound of his voice, the boy’s movements suddenly stopped.

“Is there a choice to not do it?”

Jack, with disheveled hair, asked in a gloomy voice full of resentment.

“I won’t stop you if you don’t do it, but I think you’ll have to pay a price for the information you’ve gained.”

“Anyway, I can’t sell any information related to the author Damie!!!”

“It could be used for safety within the World Tree.”

“Ahhh-! Really!!!”

Meanwhile, Jack, as the leader of the World Tree, was converting the information he had obtained into money, and when he came to the conclusion that it was worth more than half of his assets, he slowly raised his upper body.

His hair, which was in a mess, covered his face like a torn curtain, and his pale golden eyes wavered unfocused within it.

“Okay… I’ll do it… I’ll do it.”

“As expected. You are the one with the blood of a fairy.”

Jack buried his face in his arms as he heard Kael’s voice, filled with satisfaction and a faint smile.

This fucking Cael du Damier!!!

?His real name is Breeze, which means gentle breeze. He’s fifteen this year, I think? I hope we don’t waste any unnecessary energy on each other.?

?Green hair. That hair is shiny and beautiful, like a newly sprouted sprout. Your mother was proud of that hair, so she kept growing it out without cutting it, so she must be sweeping the floor by now.?

Jack’s first memory of his meeting with Kael suddenly came to mind.

Clearly, he spoke as if he knew my real name and my mother, something he had never told even to his adoptive father, the former head of the World Tree.

“Conditions… There are conditions.”

“I’ll give it a listen.”

“Your Majesty, you knew about my true identity from the beginning, right? How did you know? If you tell me, I will help you without any complaints.”

He didn’t want to reveal his identity to others. That’s why he silently accepted his requests even when they weren’t in a pact. He was afraid that he would change his mind and tell others.

Kael’s eyes widened slightly, as if he had heard an unexpected question or if he still remembered it.

Come to think of it, I did tell you Jack’s true identity when we first met. I only said it out of curiosity then… It seems like you were more concerned about that than I thought.

?You’re not going to tell the story, are you??

?You know you can’t tell the boss, right??

I often thought of something Jack would ask me.

I wondered why he was so good at accepting requests even though he had not yet ascended to the position of a baron. This was the reason.

Jack asked that question only once a year or so, and since he usually shouted, “Money! Money is everything!” when asked for a favor, Kael had always thought that Jack had accepted his request only because of money.

Kael, who only found out the truth after working together for more than three years, didn’t dare say anything.

It was only once, at that time… but he said he wouldn’t tell anyone else.

“Are you saying that you are a half-dryad and half-human?”

Kael asked Jack again exactly what he wanted to ask, and Jack shuddered at the word dryad.

“Dry… Don’t say that!”

Dryad. A general term for tree nymphs who live in trees.

A race that existed in this world, such as dark elves. There were also dwarves, sirens, and spirits, but they were races that no longer existed in ‘this land’, and were races that could not be seen.

“To be honest, I just took the picture.”

“…Tick, you said you took a pic?”

Kael nodded slowly, looking at Jack, who couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

“The former head of the World Tree. So your adoptive father said he found you under the tree. I heard you were curled up in a space made of thorns.”

?How amazing. In the past, there was a legend that the forest was a place where tree fairies lived. I thought this child was a fairy child.?

“Well, I never thought that there would be dryads… no, tree nymphs left.”

However, with the dark elves Lina and Lysa, there was a chance that there might be other races that he didn’t know about.

“It is said that the tree fairy’s power grows stronger as the tree it inhabits ages, and it is able to maintain an increasingly beautiful human form. About… 600 years ago? There were quite a few mixed races back then.”

Kael had actually encountered several dryad-human hybrids. They were a different race that did not appear in the original work, so he had researched them separately.

That’s how he noticed that the hybrids born between dryads and humans had some common characteristics.

“Although the existence of tree nymphs and human hybrids was rarer than other hybrids, they had something in common.”

Their names were all Breeze, and they had light green hair, which was long enough to sweep the floor.

“And… they have such a great sense of connection with nature that they become spirit masters or magicians.”

“Then, that’s the hair that my mother was proud of….”

“The tree nymphs believe that the hair of a child born to a human is like a plant. To them, cutting a child’s hair is like cutting off their own body.”

Kael did not bother to tell me that it was a fad among the Dryads to not cut the hair of their children if they had them.

“There was nothing like that in the materials I looked at….”

“that….”

To put it simply, it was because of the original work’s compelling power.

When composing the episode of the twins, the victims of the second ordeal, the humans of the original period had to have little information about the other race.

It was established as a description that the information about the alien race that disappeared from this world was almost completely lost. Because of those few lines of description, almost no information about the alien race remained in this world.

“Because I have more information than you.”

“Then… do you know why my mother abandoned me?”

Jack frowned as if he was recalling a past memory. Jack was found by his adoptive father when he was about five years old. However, the boy had very clear memories up until the age of five.

A dense, beautiful forest.

There, he spent every day with his mother. Then one day, his mother locked him in thorns and never showed up again.

Without being able to go outside.

All he could do was crouch in his tiny prison made of narrow thorns.

“You threw it away? You must have done it to protect it.”

Kael corrected Jack’s words, still indifferently.

“They say that tree nymphs live forever if the tree they’re in doesn’t disappear. But the truth is different. Considering your age, your mother was most likely the last remaining tree nymph in the world. Were there other tree nymphs in the forest you were born in?”

“… There was only me and my mother in the forest.”

“Then my guess is roughly correct. Depending on the type of tree it inhabits, the tree fairy will naturally disappear at some point.”

As if it had taken root in a tree at some point.

Disappearing at any moment was a characteristic of the fairy race.

“When your mother was with you, you were in no danger from other beasts. But now that your mother is gone, things are different. Even though you are half fairy, half human blood flows through you.”

“But I couldn’t get out of that thornbush! I could have starved to death!”

“If I had the blood of a fairy, I wouldn’t have had to starve to death for at least a month or two.”

“still…!”

“Your mother must have cleared a path for humans to enter the place you are in before she disappeared. Did you hear anything about that from your adoptive father?”

Jack opened his mouth to refute Kael’s words, but stopped.

You think the road was paved…?

?How did I find you in the forest? Hmm, that’s right. I still don’t understand. I had a strong feeling that the forest had led me there. I don’t usually like forests that much. Haha! Do you think it’s strange when you hear it??

Kael, who had been blankly staring at Jack’s expression that had turned into a sad face, uncrossed his legs with an expression telling him to look at it.

“I have answered your questions, and I hope you will take good care of your request.”

It was quite a while later that Mabel, upon hearing Jack’s story of that day, reacted by saying, “Kael is truly a total T…”
