Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

[El's POV: ]

After their daddy woke up, the children calmed down and we finally had a meaningful conversation where we first explained to them how Anna and Cary were our familiars and we were perhaps some of the few people in this world to have divine beings as our familiars.

They were shocked by this revelation. A divinity was the highest, most respectful being for them and their world. So, having those divinities as our familiar logically meant we were worthy of such a special privilege.

They believed that if we had them as our familiars then it was obvious that sooner or later, we would also obtain the level of divinity… however, since it was an uncertain speculation with no concrete knowledge of what would happen, they did not dwell too deep on this and just continued by asking how we were able to come there and open the gate of that place.

'We then just played how we had planned and the things were good after that until the story they were speaking reached a point where they were telling us something new, and quite unique.'

According to them, around a few years ago, just when they were about to die from that illness and leave their children whom they had sealed with their magic, they were visited by a strange person, who felt like divinity however, was different from the usual divinities they had known.

'Well, they were obviously talking about the headmaster, we knew instantly after their descriptions, and, when we told them the name he must have referred to himself as they were surprised how we knew that person.'

We told them how he was the headmaster of the institute we were learning in, and, though the children did not believe us at first, the parents knew we were telling the truth.

Their daddy was a hot mess. A delicious, mature, sexy mess…

'My basted will be hotter than him when we get older, hehe. I want to make him older quickly, hehehe~.'

Then he will call me mommy, and mistress, and-

[[ Tsk. Master knows he can sense your thoughts and Master still keeps thinking about that kind of thing. That's a very foolish, dumb master. ]]

[[ "Not when you want them to know what you are thinking about, dummy. Did you not have any lovers before? Have you always been a single miserable 'boy' your entire life?" ]]

Anna definitely understood our ways of doing things but this bastard had problems every time we do something as if he was completely clueless about what we were doing, or was extremely jealous or perhaps envious of our things.

However, I don't sense any kind of jealousy or envy from him so, it was perhaps cluelessness. 

Was he really unaware of those little clues and things the lovers do? Or was he just too dumb to not understand a thing we mostly did?

Is he really a dragon?

[[ Haaaaa… stupid master, I don't like talking about my lover. Or anything related to that. I would appreciate it if you could please, keep those questions to yourself. ]]

Hmmm?

'He's sad?'

He's really sad and nostalgic, isn't he?!

[[ "Hehehe~. You secretive bastard~! Spill the beans-" ]]

[[ "El, leave him be. I will use a wish. Let it go for now." ]]

…

I could feel his innate emotions just like I could feel Lucy's emotions with our link so I could tell there was a storm of past, love, sadness, nostalgia, a little guilt, and happiness in his heart.

It was a kind of emotion not just anyone could have as well, I knew since I knew this storm of emotion very well.

'My stupid bastard. This damn bastard… he used to be a lover boy~.'

A single true love of a lifetime. 

That was the kind of love he had with his partner of a lifetime.

'I can tell the one he loved wasn't around anymore, however, he didn't mind that. He must have been with them until the end of their life, loving them, and living happily. However, my question that created that storm of nostalgia in his mind must have reminded him of how he was still around even after they had become one with nurture long ago.'

The kind of love a practically immortal being has with someone with a limited lifetime. His love must have been of that kind.

'However, it must have been a pure, true one. A little forbidden for the world, perhaps. But, true from their side.'

He was sad that he could not spend any more time with them and was feeling guilty about how he was still alive and well even after they were gone. 

Perhaps, this might also have something to do with his own 'question' and I wanted to dig in deeper… but my bastard Lucy used a wish.

Fucking bastard.

[[ "Geez. Fine. We will continue this talk after we are done with this, alright Cary? And I will keep hitting you if you don't tell me everyyyyyyyyything. Okay~?" ]]

[[ Why are you saying it like you are asking me? I don't have any choice in this matter anyway. ]]

'Hehe, because it's more funny that way. Kehehehe~.'

He still had many unexpected sides of him that I did not know about, hun? 

Wasn't he just a supppppper cute little bastard~?

[ "Ummm… mama? Why are we here?" ]

[ "I don't know either dear. That sister and brother had some business they had to attend to in this place before we could get out of here." ]

[ "Let's just watch and see, ok?" ]

The two parents were almost on the verge of death when the headmaster appeared there and helped them a little. 

'They were able to his help, and, since he showed them how they could use the magic circle of protective they had created as a power generator to recharge their energy and life force, they were able to sustain themselves even with that illness.'

It wasn't the cure, but only a way to extend their life until someone else came there to rescue them.

'Knowing the headmaster, he must have just left them there on their own to not mess with their own world too much.'

If he had brought them with them, there would be consequences that might even hinder the stability of our world and ultimately, it might even prove bad for the academy.

'So, he left them, and they have been sustaining themselves with that recharge method ever since. Waiting for the agents of gods that could show them salvation.'

In the end, we became those 'agents of the divine' that were meant to grant them salvation. And, I knew how to cure that disease as well, so, it all worked out pretty much as we wanted.

"Alright."

The first side quest, finding and opening the room that wasn't part of the dungeon was complete. Obtaining the remaining citizens of the fallen city, these for people, was also complete.

The artifact they were using to convert the energy from the magic circle into their own holy power and life force, was using the dimensional fragment, so we also retrieved it and finished the last main quest.

So… there was only one subquest remaining in this dimensional dungeon.

'Turning it into a gateway that bridges two worlds, in the third side quest.'

Doing this would have taken us quite a lot of energy and we might have had to use a lot of skills for this, however, since all we had to achieve this objective, was to destroy a little part of this confined space, we had the perfect means to do so.

"Go Cary! I choose you~!

Use [Finite Astral Collapse]~!"

We were at the boundary of this dungeon with the family of the four.

Anna, being as curious as ever, was playing around with the Dimensional Fragment that resembled a blob of otherworldly light.

Lucy was trying to woo Kitty with his secretive sweet words.

Little Benny accompanied his mommy and daddy as the three watched Cary and me standing before the boundary of the dungeon.

[[ Master… what the hell was that line? Am I some kind of summoned creature that you can choose and make do stuff at will? You think so lowly of your familiar? And besides, I have told you many times, [Finite Astral Collapse] isn't something that we can use recklessly. If anything goes wrong, even a world might get destroyed by its power. ]]

"Yes, yes. We know that already. And I know you are a verrrrrrry capable Dragonlord. We know you can do what we want you to do, precisely how we want you to do it.

Using a skill with specifics in mind isn't anything too great for you either, right~?

And besides, if this world's gonna get destroyed in the process, wouldn't that be no problem either since this is a dungeon anyway~?"

[[ Hmmm… if you put it that way, I guess I have no choice then. ]]

Convincing this bastard was easier than telling Anna to do something for me. He was too soft for some grand dragonlord position. He should just become my Tommy instead.

[[ Alright, I will use my skill. However, master, and everyone else here. I want everyone to go back a little. This could be somewhat dangerous. ]]

He was being cute again, hehe. 

"Alright, alright~. We will go back a little. But make sure you collapse only a little part of this dungeon's boundary so that it looks like a gate or crack or something. Not too big, not too small."

[[ Of course stupid master. I know that already. ]]

He just called me stupid again. Hehe, he really had a death wish, didn't he?

Well, it's alright for now, I guess?

[ "Everyone, can you please take a few steps back? Cary is going to use a really powerful skill now and he says someone might get hurt!" ]

It was just a warning, however, as soon as the adults with us heard the word 'powerful skill', their eyes got wide and they backed off all the way to a big tree in the back with little Benny and called Kitty with a worried-hurried voice as well.

It was a strong reaction that Lucy and I did not understand at first… however, as soon as Cary called out his skill, we understood their reactions.

As well as how much we were understanding the original powers of the <<Eternal Chaos of the present>>.
