"Naoya, Liliya, I need both of you to return for the time being"
"huh? well, can't we just talk where we are right now? I mean, no one can understand us anyway"
"oh... right, I forgot about that, ahh... why don't I tell you there right now, I'm with Arie right now and we found a paper with Theia's writing in it"
"hmm? a message? what's it about?"
"First, I'll need some materials, would you mind getting some undead parts? I'll tell you all after gathering it, Ingrid will take it off your hand once you all have it"
"Affirmative."
I turn off the phone and tell everything to Rin, although... I'm quite afraid that Osiria won't be coming with us...
"don't worry mommy... I'm fine on my own"
"really? well... I know your older brother will be coming to be with you but... I'm still worried about you being alone..."
"well then? why don't I invite Aishah to babysit her? I mean, he has a good heart"
"trust a stranger with my child!? no way! I am not allowing that!"
"c'mon Liliya, we have a mission and little Lily's going to stay here, Ingrid might come but we need to go now for efficiency ahh, just in time too"
that guy in question is here... coincidentally I'd say, I really can't trust him.
"c'mon Liliya, it's fine"
they began to talk in their language and I confirm again from her... I seriously can't trust him.
after leaving him to Osiria, we left the building and head to a nearby forest here. I can't really say that it's a forest though... the trees aren't even that dense to begin with...
"Liliya... you've been quite hesitant tonight"
"well of course! I left my child to a total stranger!"
"hmm... I trust him since he has a good heart, even trying to cop with that dumb idiot is something to amuse him"
rustling was heard in the distance, both of us immediately prepared for the worst but...
there was a man
「ahh... am I in danger here?」
. . .
. . .
. .
「you see, I'm here because of a certain someone was being quite secretive...」
「well... I can't really say that I understand your story, anyway I'm Rin, Rin Aiha, nice to meet you」
「nice to meet you too dear lady, I'm Felix Demetrius and this 'ere is my servant that I keep forgetting the name of」
「IT'S CICERO! ahem... sorry for shouting, I'm Cicero Von Yvel, this... fucker's assistant」
「it's good to... mee you too, this is my friend, Liliya Rosa,」
"Liliya, would you mind waving at them?"
"oh? sure"
I don't know why but I guess I gotta follow suit. I don't really know what they're talking about but if it's needed then I'll do it... I guess?
「ohh? Liliya Rosa huh?」
「Felix... isn't that the girl?」
「yeah... then this will probably be easier...」
「girl?... ! what do you plan to do?」
Rin's preparing for a fight? then I might as well too, if she's doing that then they're enemies
「put your weapons down, we don't plan to fight, like I said, we were sent here without any explanation so we have no connection with you... probably...」
「but you said」
that hand gesture, so they're not enemies?
"Rin, what's going on?"
"sorry, we might've stumbled some really troublesome people"
「look, we're not troublesome」
"!!?"
「Felix... you're troubling us again you know that right?」
"y-you! how'd you"
「understand your language? yes, we know because we were born from Laplace」
with him talking, Rin looked scared... wait... then there's no time to lose!
「petals? kyohuma petals?」
「so these are the rare flower petals we were looking for ages... quite amusing」
"Liliya! kill them!"
「Cicero, mind if you step back for a bit, I might want to test out my son's creation」
「as you wish then... I'll... just step back out, I can't fight anyway」
as she said, I'll kill them without a single wasted time, full force on the petals, I'll end this in minutes
the wind brushes and the petals became a torrent of sharp needles, even a single slice could lead to one fatal injury
!!!
"he's..."
he's still alive? from all of that?
「I see that he truly did, train you all properly, even I was injured from it... slightly」
"G... Liliya... H-... -elp"
"wait... what's this!?"
"Might as well talk to a language you all know, it's blood strain, right now I have full control of your bodies, so care to listen to my introduction? yo, uhhh..."
"It's Cicero you f-"
"Right, right, this is Cicero, you might not remember his name since in the past, he studied the Ether crystals for quite a long time of his generation, he even locked himself in order to pursue the greatest creation"
"Cicero Von Yvel at your service, my mastery is everything Ether and Mana related. I was admitted to the Royal Castle since 1827 and was born from 1590 and the guy standing in front of you two right now is none other than the master of all arts"
"Kirin Helios, master of blood and bones, the puppeteer, you two are certainly Kirin's disciples and creations, I give him two thumbs up"
H-... Helios!? the first generation!?
"the one and only, now do you two understand?"
the blood that was restraining us soaked through the ground freeing us... so this is the first generation that our master was so proud of...
. . .
. . .
. . .
"Helios... Yvel... so it is the truth..."
"I keep telling you guys. now don't worry, we've changed our ways for the whole... 10 centuries? I honestly forgot"
so they really are Kirin's Ancestors... I can see the similarities of their personalities quite a bit...
"Wait! so this means that some of the dead from Laplace got transported here?!"
Rin suddenly gave a loud remark
"you're right, although its only the souls that got picked by the goddess and accepted it, although... I had no choice"
"yeah, cause you had to go ahead and create the most hideous monster of all Laplace, I commend you for doing that"
"tch... shut up for a day Cicero, you also helped the Parva project you fool"
"WAIT! I said wait! so the person that I saw...Kealii... is truly him? I wasn't hallucinating? wait, so that means Lin is also?!"
"I got a conversation with them not too long ago actually, about 5 years ago maybe? a nice bunch, they accepted it but I don't know where they are right now"
Rin seems to be ecstatic...
"Liliya! don't you understand this?! he's here! he's truly here! they're both here!"
"would you shut up and take a minute! I don't understand what you are all talking about for crying out loud!"
. . .
. . .
"so long story short, Kirin Aiha, the one you know is known as Kealii O'Connor and Lin is Yuna"
I... so this means...
"oyy, Felix, we still have a mission to do, did you forget?"
"ahh, right. sorry ladies, we'll be going now"
the two left, leaving us dumbfounded...
"so this means..."
"Kirin is alive right now..."
"I wasn't hallucinating!"
with a joyful cheer, we head back to the place we were staying at... it seems like we're forgetting something... but I couldn't care less...
. . .
. . .
. . .
"you god. damn. idiots..."
"miss Liliya, miss Rin, I know learning that Kirin is alive right now is a good excuse but it's not enough to let you go with this..."
"right... but it's true!"
we returned with Naoya and Ingrid inside the room... that's what we forget...
"haahh... sir Naoya, I believe it's okay to brush it off slightly for now, I've been wanting to explore this world for quite a while too"
"... that's what you want to do, and honestly, you could've explored the world in your spare time, what these two did is still unacceptable"
"haahh... I'll be hunting tonight, what about you sir Naoya?"
"I'll be punishing these two appropriately"
no... not this punishment!
"okay then, I'll leave it all to you"
"Ingrid! didn't you remember your debt!?"
"sorry, I already paid it by babysitting Osiria, now Naoya, once again, I'll leave it all to you"
"Naoya... you're scaring me"
"Naoya! no! please no..."
"you. two. need. proper. punishment."
