How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 81

Episode 81. Puppet Show (4).

“How did you get that magical power…?”

When she closed her eyes and opened them, she was transported to Shabat Village. Raisa muttered in disbelief as she realized that Kael had teleported six people, including her, at once without saying a word.

“As expected-! Kael wanted to help too?!”

Maybe he was nicknamed the King of Positivity in his previous life. Mabel looked at Kael with a bright smile, thinking very positively, and Kael spoke with a cold expression at the child’s reaction.

“Guests will be arriving in Shabbat Village in two days.”

“Guests?”

“Lars, Cloris, and Adrina…

As Kael answered Lisa’s question, he was able to recall one thing he had forgotten when he saw her looking at him with an expression that said, ‘Who are they?’

What this means is that Laina and Raisa, who have lived in the Black Forest for over a hundred years at the shortest and two hundred years at the longest, are completely unaware of the current situation.

“… First, I need to explain the situation.”

“Ah! I brought a mat! How about sitting down and talking?”

After sitting around the mat Lily had brought, Kael spoke to the twins in detail about the current state of the empire and the appearance of the Chosen One, Lars.

“So… the chosen one who will prevent the destruction of the world is being tested by the gods, but it’s all a fabrication by the temple?”

“okay.”

“And the chosen one is a shackle that prevents him from leaving God, and since he is weak in power to hold onto God, he tries to complete the shackle by killing a strong sacrificial lamb under the pretext of a trial and having the Holy Sword absorb the sacrificial lamb’s power?”

“That’s correct.”

Raisa pointed at Tariq, confirming what she had heard.

“There are three trials in total, and the sacrificial lamb for the first trial is the human over there. The sacrificial lamb for the second trial was originally us, right?”

Without needing to explain it twice, Raisa seemed to understand perfectly, and although she remained quiet, Raina seemed to understand as well, so Kael nodded.

“You came here to prevent us from dying as the second sacrificial lamb?”

“yes.”

“why?”

Lisa asked with her arms crossed.

She tilted her head as if she really didn’t understand, and added an explanation to her own ‘why?’ question.

“Isn’t it beneficial to save generations by sacrificing the cow? When I look at you, even if others are like that… you don’t seem like the type of person who would do that at all.”

The evaluation is quite scathing.

Lysa’s statement that it is natural to sacrifice a cow in order to save a generation meant that Kael, like Chloris, is not someone whose main purpose is to save many people, but rather someone whose purpose is to gain profit by saving many people.

Kael did not deny her words, even though he thought Lisa’s assessment was harsh.

“That’s right. I’m not particularly interested in anyone being sacrificed. If I had to choose between the two, I’d choose the one that benefits me more, as you said.”

“By any chance… is Kael-sama wishing for the destruction of this world?”

At that moment, Raina, who had been listening to the conversation between Lisa and Kael, carefully opened her mouth and asked. The others’ eyes turned to her at her question, and Raina blushed slightly, embarrassed by the attention all at once.

“The first trial passed even though the first victim, Tariq, was still alive. Does that mean the temple has brought in another victim?”

“that’s right.”

“Then, the power of Mr. Tariq and us, who were chosen first… would mean that the humans of the temple needed it to complete the shackles, and even if we were to find another sacrifice, their power would be inferior to ours, who were chosen first.”

If that were to happen, the strength of the chains would be stronger than before, but the most ideal chains the temple wanted would not be created.

Preventing the completion of the chains, which were the only way to stop a god from leaving, meant wishing for the god to leave, and for the god to leave would mean the destruction of the world.

“Is what you said true, sister?”

Raisa asked back, seeming somewhat confused by Lina’s guess.

My sister’s opinion was credible, and she herself had her own harsh criticisms, but she did not think that Kael truly wished for the destruction of the world.

She knew that saving someone was more difficult and troublesome than killing them, because even leading a soul to rest was not easy.

If it were just to prevent their power from being absorbed by the Holy Sword, it would have been quicker and easier to kill them than to save them. He didn’t do that.

Rather, they helped them achieve the spiritual guidance they had longed for, and saved those who had asked them to die.

“It is true that I wish for the destruction of the world, but my goal is to maintain this world.”

I wish for destruction, but I maintain this world.

It was an inconsistent statement.

“Once the final ordeal and disaster are over, Lars must impale himself on the Holy Sword to fulfill his role as a shackle.”

Tariq and Lily also looked at Kael and listened to his voice, hearing a story they had never heard before.

“But… even if we do that, this world will be destroyed. I plan to weaken the power of the Holy Sword to prevent his end, and I plan to make sure that this world can continue on in another way.”

“What other way is there?”

“That’s hard to tell.”

The firmness of Kael’s voice told them that he would not answer no matter how many times they asked, so Lysa and the others could not ask him more about the other methods he had mentioned.

“Is that a surefire way?”

Instead, Raina asked and Kael answered.

“It’s the most reliable method as far as I know.”

“It’s all good. But why are you telling us this story?”

A story that flows in a complicated way.

As if frustrated with Kael not giving her a clear answer, Lisa ruffled her hair and asked him to get to the point.

“I am the one who calls myself the one who wishes for the destruction of the world, and I have appeared before the chosen one named Idea and his party.”

Speaking of Idea, Kael added that Lars must be suspecting himself of being Idea by now.

The first one who seeks material desire. Tariq’s face and voice may not have been seen or heard, but he was one of the largest men in the empire, and his swordsmanship was too raw to be considered ordinary swordsmanship.

Since there was Adrina who was the commander of the Imperial Knights, you would know that his swordsmanship was that of a mercenary.

“The timing was right, so even if you weren’t sure, you probably had some doubts. I’m not that stupid.”

And after learning of the existence of the disaster, he told Chloris to come to him. Even if he didn’t tell the temple, why did he ask for help from him? And he didn’t even say anything.

If Viscount Damier had wanted to use his abilities and wealth to his advantage, he would have told Cloris why. But he did not.

Because I wanted to see what choices I would make.

“… Well, if I had known in advance, I would have gladly offered to help. But that opportunity has already passed.”

I didn’t think about it that far back then, with the intervention of the god Janus and the threats of Chloris. But the more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

“Anyway, I want to get rid of that suspicion even a little bit, and I think this time they come to the Black Forest is the opportunity to do so.”

It would be nice if we could just nip the buds of doubt in the bud. But if we could just prevent those buds from growing into flowers or trees of confidence, it would be an opportunity worth taking.

“I’m going to show them a puppet show, and for that I’m going to need your twin’s powers.”

“So, do you want help?”

“okay.”

Lisa narrowed her eyes.

“Then why don’t you just ask for help? Why are you talking so much?”

Lisa nodded readily, adding that it was an overly kind explanation for nothing.

“Okay. What can you and I do to help?”

Kael, who had expected that he would need Laina’s help to persuade her, gave her an unexpected look, and Raisa frowned at his gaze and spoke in a blunt voice.

“It’s not like we’re helping them for free. We just thought we should repay the favor since we received it first…”

Lisa’s gaze turned to Lina next to her.

?Lisa. What do you think about leaving this place and being with those people??

After returning to Shabat village from the villa.

Because my sister told me something.

“The puppet show you mentioned. Once that’s over and you decide that our abilities are useful to you, then take us with you.”

Kael smiled faintly at Lyssa’s words, which seemed to be a direct copy of what Lyssa had said to him.

Looking at this, I guess they really are twins.

I had no intention of forcing them to join me, but if they wanted to join me, there was no need to refuse. Rather, it was something I should welcome.

“Okay. I’ll decide after I see how much your abilities can help me.”

“The puppet show you mentioned. Tell me more about it.”

The conversation naturally led to the ‘puppet show’ that Kael had mentioned, and Kael told everyone about the puppet show he had imagined.

“Lars and his party will arrive at Shabat Village within two days. We will do this first. When they arrive, we will leave a sign here indicating that Idea has been there.”

A sign that numerous tombs and ideas have passed through.

They will think that Idea has massacred the townspeople and will naturally head to the villa.

“How can you be so sure?”

“Among the group, Cloris really likes Mabel, and Lars suspects that I am the Idea.”

If only to make sure Mabel is safe.

They certainly wouldn’t have passed the villa where they were, if only to confirm their suspicion that I might be the idea.

“We will show them what it is like to be with Idea. Idea, Laina, and Raisa. You all together.”

“Is it really necessary to show all three of them?”

“Ah, that’s in case you come with us.”

The reason I said I would show the three of them was also because it was groundwork for Lina and Raisa to go to the capital together.

And… the one who brought himself into this world.

If the god Janus, who had caused countless reincarnations and was the one responsible for causing the regression, had been watching over him, then if he knew the original story, there was a high chance that he would not have known that the twins were turning into animals.

Even if he were to intervene, it would be quite some time before the identities of Laina and Lisa, who had been transformed into animals, were revealed.

“There’s not much time left, so let’s build a stage for the puppet show.”

That’s how the stage for the puppet show began to be built.
