How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 76



Only Noblemtl

Episode 76. Lina and Lisa (4).

Meanwhile, Kael, who had come up to the room on the second floor, lay down on the bed. Feeling the soft mattress enveloping his body, he slowly closed and opened his eyes.

The look in Raisa’s eyes as she looked at him could not be expressed more accurately than ‘What is this kid?’. Contrary to their appearances, the dark elf twins were more rational, while Raisa was more emotional.

Since I gave you this much stimulation, you wouldn’t say useless things like it’s okay to kill me now.

“By the way….”

I never thought I would hear the name of Rim, my old friend, from the twins. It wasn’t the name I used in the original work. It wasn’t a character that appeared directly in the original work, so I never expected it to be related to the twins.

?I won’t die to a human. Are you going to fight? What’s the point of fighting? We’ll fight until one of us dies, so you should run away quickly. But… well, if you’re going to die in someone else’s place, then I don’t know.?

My best friend, who said he would not die by human hands unless he ran away or died in someone else’s place, ended up dying by human hands in place of his young twin.

“900 years old? You’ve lived a long life….”

Kael slowly closed his eyes as he felt drowsy, perhaps because he had not slept properly for three days in Shabat Village. He hoped that his friend who had wished him peace would pass away without any pain.

Kael, who had fallen asleep like that, slept for a full day. Yesterday, before falling asleep, he saw the sun rising outside the window, and when he woke up, the sun was still rising outside the window.

After a moment of being shocked by the fact that he had slept for an entire day, he heard a subtle commotion coming from downstairs and left the room to head to the first floor, where he encountered Tariq coming up the stairs.

“Master, I was just finishing preparing breakfast and was on my way to pick you up. You seemed to be sleeping very soundly yesterday….”

“Ah, good job.”

Seeing you eating breakfast, I can tell you’ve definitely slept the whole day.

“By the way, it’s quite noisy downstairs.”

“The dark elves came and the young lady seemed to be in a better mood.”

“Didn’t you go back to the village?”

“No. After the master went up to his room, he said he had to go back to the village and returned.”

That means he went to the village and came back. Kael nodded and went down to the first floor with Tariq. His expression turned sour when he saw the table full of food and Laina and Raisa sitting on the chairs.

“Ah…hello.”

When Raina saw her, she bowed her head with an awkward smile and a greeting as if she was sorry, but Raisa looked at her with an expression as if asking, ‘Are you here?’

“I came today because they said I could stay as long as I wanted yesterday. Lily’s food was really delicious.”

Why did she have to be a feline when she turned into an animal? In particular, isn’t it said that caracals have such a dirty personality that they would yank at the slightest?

As soon as he thought about it, Kael understood it right away, even though he didn’t want to.

… It’s a good thing I brought plenty of ingredients.

“I told you I could stay. I don’t think I ever said I could come back whenever I wanted.”

“Then, let’s just say I went out for a bit.”

“Or so.”

Kael, who didn’t care whether the twins came or not, responded indifferently and sat down. Breakfast began with the same number of people as yesterday.

“Did Laina and Raisa go to Shabat Village?”

“yes.”

“Yeah. After all, I can’t just leave the remains of the dolls that the souls had entered.”

“What are dolls made of?”

Mealtime, which seemed like it would be rather quiet, was cheerful rather than quiet because of Mabel’s voice, who had seen it yesterday and had so many new questions in less than a day, even asking questions while eating.

Still, thanks to that, Kael was able to find out some more information.

One, the twins are cleaning up the remains of the dolls the spirits used and creating a tomb for them.

Second, if the soul had a body from its previous life, the doll is made using that body. If not, a small doll is made using various materials such as wood or cloth, and a shape is added to it using black magic.

Finally, when Lina transforms into an animal, she takes on the appearance of a wolf.

Mabel’s eyes brightened at the word “wolf.”

“Shall I show you?”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Of course. Instead, after I finish breakfast and clean up with Lily.”

After breakfast, Lina headed out of the villa to keep her promise to Mabel. Instead of going out, Kael went back to his room with a cup of coffee in his hand and watched them from the window.

After the Sabbath, the tree of rest, which had lost all its flowers and seemed ready to wither at any moment, was sprinkled with Mabel’s special holy water and regained life, blooming pure white flowers once again, and those gathered around Lina beneath it were reflected in deep purple eyes.

Laina, who seemed a little shy, changed her appearance. She was a wolf with abundant black fur that sparkled with a soft light and light blue eyes. The only difference from a normal wolf was that it was bigger, just like when Laisa turned into a caracal.

“They are twins who have transformed into animals, a dog and a cat.”

No matter how you look at it, aren’t they polar opposites?

By what criteria are animals determined?

Judging from how the magic is used, it seems to vary depending on the magic power. I should look into it.

Although he knew more about the Dark Elves than most, the fact that they could transform into animals was new information to Kael as well. It was the first time in a long time that he had been curious.

Outside the window, Lina, who had shrunk in size, was running around with Mabel on her back. Kael, who was watching this, quickly turned around.

– Knock- knock, knock!

“Come in.”

How much time has passed since then?

Mabel knocked on the door with a brisk rhythm, and opened the door at the sound of his voice, sticking her head out.

“Kael, are you busy?”

“very.”

Kael, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, answered without taking his eyes off the book.

“You said that Laina and Raisa were building a grave in Shabat Village. Let’s go help together.”

“You go.”

“Okay! Okay! I’ll go alone!”

Kael’s eyes, who had no intention of leaving his book, turned to Mabel as she answered in a bright voice as if she had been waiting for her.

“You were aiming for it.”

“Ahem! Now I can pretty much predict what Kael will say!”

Kael’s eyes narrowed slightly at Mabel’s proud expression and words.

“Okay. You know what I’m going to say from now on.”

“Okay! I’ll go out.”

“You’re wrong.”

Kael chuckled at the sight of his expression suddenly changing, like a balloon that was full of air suddenly losing air. It was so funny and interesting that he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Take Tariq and Lily.”

“Huh? Both of you?”

“I knew what kind of trouble would happen if I sent you alone.”

“Kael, do you think I’m some kind of walking time bomb?!”

Well, of course there are things I’ve done so far…!!!

Kael added with a look of surprise and a faint smile still on his lips.

“Surprisingly, self-reflection is going well.”

Mabel’s cheeks puffed out as she realized that he was teasing her, with the smile forming at the corners of his mouth and his expression being a little more exaggerated than usual.

“Now go out.”

“I was going to go out anyway!”

The door slammed shut rather roughly, and the faint sound of a distraught Mabel stomping down the stairs could be heard through the door.

When even that sound could no longer be heard, Kael closed the book he had opened, placed it on the desk, and opened his mouth.

“I guess hiding is a habit.”

Kael’s voice echoed quietly in the still room. And then someone slowly appeared from a corner of the room.

“I think it would be better for you, Mabel, to take care of your business first, rather than me.”

It was Laina who spoke to Kael in a soft voice.

… I think it’s pretty shady to use magic and hide in a corner.

“So. What’s your business?”

Instead of letting her thoughts out loud, Kael asked her why she had come to see him, and Raina, who had been hesitating, took out a book from her bosom and showed it to him.

‘The race of rest’.

It was a book about dark elves that he had given to Mabel, Tariq, and Lily to read.

“This is the book that Mabel showed me and Lisa. She asked if we knew the dark elf in the picture.”

The person depicted in the book was, of course, Rim, the author of the book. Kael looked at Laina silently as if telling her to continue speaking.

“It happened about 200 years ago… Lisa doesn’t seem to remember, but I remember Grandpa Rim having a book exactly like this one.”

?This is a book that I wrote a long time ago because my first friend from a different race begged me to write it for him.?

Even in her fading memories, Laina clearly remembered Rim often missing her ‘cross-species friend’.

“Grandpa Lim sometimes told us stories about his time with his friend from another race. He would joke that if we happened to meet him, he would help him if he had not yet found peace.”

I never thought that the other race friend Rim was talking about would be a human. Humans live shorter lives than any other race and then pass away.

“The book that Mabel showed me had its last page torn out, but I remember what was in the last page. My grandfather wrote that the descendants would be able to immediately recognize the souls that they had not been able to lead to peace.”

“…Please guide my wounded and torn soul to peace.”

Recalling the sentence from the torn last chapter, Raina looked at the teeth in front of her.

The soul’s appearance was captured in the turquoise eyes that could see the soul, which had an unstable shape that wavered like a flame that could go out at any moment.

The souls that Lina had seen so far were only slightly clearer or more transparent. They completely retained their original appearance from before they died.

But Kael’s soul was not visible. It looked like a mixture of countless souls, and at times it looked like a very young child, a boy, a young man, or an old man.

That’s why Lina could instinctively tell,

A soul that repeats death and life without even a moment to rest.

That the soul is not of this world.

“Did Kael…reincarnate while remembering his past life?”

Kael let out a small, almost whispered laugh at Lina’s question, which she was already certain of.
