How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 72



Only Noblemtl

Episode 72. No more regrets.

“Mabel.”

Mabel, who was looking up at her with her knees bent, called out the child’s name as she got to eye level with her. Mabel’s eyes, which met her hazel eyes, opened and formed a crescent moon.

“Yeah. Lisa.”

“I’m sorry for startling you at first, and… thank you for treating me to delicious food and helping me grow the Tree of Peace.”

“If Lisa hadn’t helped me, I would have been in big trouble. I should have been the one thanking you!”

Lisa smiled cutely at Mabel. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes, which had been raised with her cold face, lowered, creating a soft impression.

“Can I receive a branch of the Sabbath tree?”

Lyssa asked, slowly extending her hand, and Mabel readily handed over the branch she had cut from the Tree of Peace.

The branch of the tree of rest was light enough for a child to lift, and as it passed from Mabel’s hand to Lysa’s, a clear sound rang out once more.

“Thank you again.”

“Thank you too!”

Lysa accepted the branch of the tree of rest and straightened her bent knees. Then she faced Kael, who was looking at her.

The smile on her lips disappeared in an instant, and the expression on her face as she looked at him became cold. As she was about to open her mouth as if she had something to say, Raina approached her.

“Lisa…!”

“Sister, you must have had a hard time alone….”

“It’s okay. Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Of course. Didn’t you get hurt by that person?”

Kael, who could hear the whispering conversation between the two dark elves, could tell what Lysa was trying to tell him.

I guess he was worried that he might be bothering his sister.

“Huh? Yeah, not at all.”

At Raisa’s question, Raina shook her head in surprise and denied it. Raisa, who had tilted her head slightly at that sight, soon straightened her head and spoke.

“That’s right… Then it’s fine. Sister, I’m sorry for coming so soon. Can you gather the souls together? Since there is the Tree of Rest, we can now guide them to rest.”

“Can… it be possible…? We’ve never tried it before. We only know the theory… . We…”

Seeing Lina’s cerulean eyes beginning to tremble with anxiety, Lisa placed her forehead against her twin sister’s.

– Talk.

“Easy-. It’s okay. You watch, and I’ll tell you. Just do as you always have.”

“Can I… do it?”

“Yeah, I can do it.”

The twins who had been whispering while looking into each other’s eyes slowly pulled their foreheads apart. Laina carefully walked into the ruins of the fallen and broken dolls. Raisa took a deep breath and let it out. Kael, who had seen the two, moved to the rooftop where he had been looking over the village with Tariq and Mabel.

Although it was an unexpected teleportation, the side effects of dizziness and nausea were less severe because the distance was short, so the two people only showed signs of surprise.

“Kael. What we can do to help….”

“None. Staying still helps.”

Mabel, sitting on Kael’s lap, looked up at him and tried to ask, but her lips curled at his voice that cut her off and answered firmly.

“There is no pumpkin like this one.”

“What are you doing with that branch?”

Tariq, who had difficulty understanding the current situation behind Mabel’s grumbling, asked. Perhaps it was because the Tree of Rest did not appear in the original work. Mabel also seemed curious about his question, so she stopped grumbling and quietly waited for Kael’s answer.

“I will lead your soul to rest.”

“Why are you asking such an obvious question?” Kael added with a blunt answer.

“It’s a sight you’ll never see again, so both of you should take a good look at it.”

As she walked through the rubble, Laina looked at Raisa, and Raisa slowly nodded her head at her sister’s gaze.

“To the wandering souls.”

– Daughter… .

As if to signal the beginning by gently shaking the branches of the tree of rest, Lisa’s mouth opened and a slow melody began to flow out.

“We are guides to rest.

I will lead you into rest.

Poor ones who have locked themselves in the darkness.

Don’t be consumed by sadness or anger.

Don’t be caught up in foolishness.

“Don’t hide it any longer and show us your true self.”

It’s more like reciting poetry than singing.

Lisa’s voice echoed throughout the village. As if in response to her voice, sparkling powders fell from the branches of the tree of peace she held.

The dust, which looked like crushed stars, was carried by the wind and scattered into the air, revealing the previously invisible spirits.

Some souls were mourning, some were screaming, and some were rejoicing.

– Daughter… .

Once again a clear sound rang out, and Lisa’s voice followed.

“The guide will light the way to rest.

Let’s leave together.

To where there is someone waiting for you.

We will be together on the path to rest.

“Don’t be afraid, take courage.”

Sparkling powders scattered in the air.

The dust that illuminated the soul gathered as if it had a will and created a path in the darkness.

– Daughter… .

Lisa turned around and walked away slowly.

Following her steps, the sound of wind chimes and bells spread softly.

Some souls began to move behind her, but some hesitated.

“But I have a family.”

“My child. My child is missing. My baby… our baby… please… find it.”

“I didn’t get to say goodbye… It was the last time. That, that… I didn’t know it was the last time.”

The voices of souls, each with their own story, echoed through the forest, sadly and sorrowfully.

“If you want to find what you lost.

If you want to see something you miss again.

If you want to turn back your regrets.

“Go to rest.”

It must have been far away. Lisa’s voice was clearly heard by the souls remaining in the village, and the souls that remained in response to her voice began to move one by one.

Yet there were souls that remained.

The spirits of children. Lysa, who remained in the village, reached out to the spirits of children. The spirits of children who were watching took her hand and reached out to another spirit of children.

With them and Lina holding each other’s tiny hands, not a single soul was left in the village.

“We will follow too.”

Kael jumped down from the roof with Mabel in his arms and began walking down the path of light that was gradually fading away, with Tariq following behind him.

“Just like a firefly, right? Kael.”

Mabel said, lightly touching the sparkling powder floating in the air with her fingertips.

“To be exact, it is a light that guides the soul. It plays a role in fading away the emotions and foolishness that souls have.”

“… Kael, really. Phew, no. Kael even knows what song Lysa sang?”

When the answer that came back was so utterly terrifying that it almost destroyed her emotions, Mabel asked with a small sigh.

“It’s not a song, but rather a poem. It’s the ‘poem of rest’ that the dark elves sing whenever they guide a soul.”

Another ability of the light that guides the soul. They were able to escape the dark forest shortly after.

As I came out, I could see the small figure of Lisa walking ahead of me in the moonlight. The sight of dozens of translucent souls following her in a line was extremely clear.

The place where Lisa was headed was the Tree of Rest. She stopped in front of the Tree of Rest and looked back at the spirits that had followed her.

Her amber eyes, which gazed upon the souls, were shining softly like a lamp, though the exact reason for this was unknown, perhaps because they reflected the moonlight.

Finally she moved the branch of the tree of rest.

– Daughter… .

Perhaps it was because of the tree of rest. The sound resonated a little louder and clearer, and the powder that emitted a little stronger light scattered, creating a path of light as if creating a staircase.

As if it were reaching the end of the night sky, tears welled up in the eyes of several souls who looked up at the high staircase of light, and they began to climb the stairs.

– Daughter… .

one.

– Daughter… .

Another one.

As each person climbed the stairs, Lisa shook the branches as if to say goodbye.

How many souls have climbed the stairs?

Finally, the soul that had first stepped onto the stairs reached the end of the stairs, and the translucent soul slowly became transparent before soon becoming a single light and rising into the sky.

The lights rising in the night sky were like stars.

As the lights in the night sky began to rise one by one, Lina and the young souls stood at the front of the stairs for the last time.

“You know, Sister. If I go up there like the adults, can I meet Mom?”

“Me too! I miss Mom and Dad!”

“It’s too high… It’s scary…!”

When the young souls hesitated before the high and endless stairs, Laina knelt down to get eye level with the young souls, and instead of speaking, she nodded her head vigorously and clenched both fists as if to encourage them, telling them to cheer up and that they could do it.

“Thank you, sis!!!”

“Let’s hold hands and go together!”

“That’s right, if we hold hands and go here like we did when we came here, it won’t be scary!”

The young souls, encouraged by her appearance, began to climb the stairs together, albeit slowly.

Soon, all the spirits disappeared and countless lights that decorated the night sky were twinkling. Raisa raised her head and looked into her eyes, and smiled faintly at Laina who was looking at the sky just like her.

Their eyes, which faced each other, were filled with tears.

Raisa, who was looking at her, met Raisa’s eyes and nodded, and Raisa moved the tree branch significantly for the first time.

– Ding…!

A movement similar to cutting through the air with a tree branch.

The lights that had been gathered to form stairs following the traces of movement scattered in an instant.

At the same time, despite the calm weather, the pure white flowers hanging from the branches were scattered. The numerous flowers that had bloomed on the tree of rest were scattered.

“Huh? A shooting star-!!!”

“It’s not a shooting star.”

Mabel, who had been taking in the sight, pointed to the night sky, leaving behind Kael’s voice correcting her. The lights that had risen in the night sky along with the fluttering flowers fell like shooting stars.

Lights falling, drawing beautiful trajectories across the night sky. Pure white flowers and petals fluttering like snow.

Very… .

It was a wondrous and beautiful sight.

And in it, Lina and Lisa stood holding each other’s hands with relieved expressions as if no regrets remained.
