Theo looked at the young man who had just arrived. He didn't answer, but instead asked back.
"Are you Emilio?"
Emilio Blumfield, the younger brother of Rosalina. His face really bears resemblance to his sister.
Theo himself found out about Emilio from Rosalina's social media account. There is a list of family relationships. Including Emilio, Theo also learns that both of Rosalina's parents are still alive.
Emilio was stunned to hear the question from the stranger in front of him. He never saw the person. From the estimated age of the stranger, Emilio felt that the man may be his older sister's friend.
It's just that, all this time, many of his sister's friends have come to pay their respects. This was the first time in ten years Emilio saw the figure of a man in front of him. Is he really his sister's friend? Emilio began to doubt.
"Who are you?"
"The person your sister saved."
"...What?"
Theo smiled, with his head he pointed at a bench that was at the side of the tomb. The bench under the shade of the tree overlooks the thousands of graves.
Two men sat there, one sitting on one side and the other on the other side. So there is a distance between the two. Theo glanced at Emilio, there was a look of wariness on his face.
The sickle he was carrying did not leave his hand. As if ready to turn it into a weapon if Theo did something dangerous.
Theo ignored what Emilio was thinking. Instead, he tells about himself and the reason he came to Rosalina's place after ten years.
"Emilio… what would you do if you knew there was a way to get your sister back?"
"What's this? Are you starting to feel delusional, now that you feel guilty after ten years have passed?"
Emilio chuckles after hearing Theo's absurd question. He had put the sickle beside him, no longer gripping it.
He had been listening to how Theo's life was after Rosalina had saved him. Emilio learns the profession of the man who is now working as an office worker.
Theo said that he was grateful for Rosalina's actions. And that made Emilio happy, because his sister's actions at that time were not in vain. Therefore, the wariness to Theo that he had shown earlier, had now disappeared.
Now, hearing Theo's question, he only thought it was just a joke.
Emilio laughed, then said that ten years had passed. In those ten years, his parents had already accepted his sister's departure. Emilio was grateful for that.
"Oh, I have a younger sister. This year, she will be five years old."
"Hoo~ what's her name? Mr and Mrs Blumfield must be very busy with this new angel..."
"Her name is Eliana. Since her birth, Mom and Dad smile more often than ever. I think Eliana is a gift from God to fill the void in their hearts."
Theo then listened to various stories about Eliana from Emilio. Only the stories since the birth of his new sister were told by Emilio. Not a story about the life of the Blumfield family before Eliana was born.
Without even needing to be told, Theo could imagine their lives after losing Rosalina.
Theo then took out his cell phone. He immediately opened the Isekai Guide app. On the screen, he can see Rosalina who seems to be fast asleep in the tent.
Currently Rosalina is still on her way back to Altira with the guild members and the villagers. Travel time is expected to be longer than when she left for the settlement from Altira.
This is because their speed is hampered by the presence of the villagers. Compared to speed, the guild also placed more importance on the safety of the villagers. That's why, what should have taken three to five days, now it could be more than a week.
Emilio is still talking. He realized that Theo was still listening, even though it seemed like he was playing a cell phone game. But suddenly, Theo thrust the phone in front of Emilio.
"Let me ask you one more time, if you could help your sister to be on earth again, what would you do?"
Theo asked, showing the phone screen showing Rosalina sleeping.
Emilio was silent for a moment. Didn't understand what Theo was talking about. He glanced at the phone screen, looking at the sleeping game character.
At first he didn't really care. But upon closer inspection, Emilio felt familiar with the woman's face.
"Eh? This... my sister? You... you made a game character out of my older sister? Is this that you mean by returning my older sister to earth? Through the game, making her a game character?"
"Hmm, that sounds wrong but there is some truth to it. Ha ha ha!"
'Eh, why is he laughing?'
Emilio's eyes twitched at Theo's laughter. After the man was satisfied with his laugh, Theo then told Emilio to come closer.
"Let's see if this is indeed a game character or not."
Said Theo who then touched the Message feature. He bombarded the sleeping Rosalina with message after message.
Rosalina was getting more and more annoyed with the notification sound from the system. Or rather from Theo.
The woman was seen moving left and right, then tried to cover her ears. But the notification sound is sent directly to her head, not through her ears. So over time, Rosalina got fed up with the barrage of incoming messages.
[Goddamnit, Theo! It's the middle of the night, don't you have anything to do?!]
[Ughhh~ I have a headache, so what do you want waking me up late at night like this?]
[Emilio... huh ? EMIL?! You mean my Emil?!]
[My grave… okay, that feels weird, why did you go to my grave? Sigh... well, never mind, it doesn't matter. So, what about Emil, is he okay, is he grown?]
Theo smiled faintly at Rosalina's behavior. Emilio who saw that also frowned.
To him, what Theo did might have been programmed, even if Rosalina's character in the game could have a chat with people. This is considered by Emilio to be just a sophisticated artificial intelligence.
Reviving his sister with programs and AI, to Emilio it seemed stupid and meaningless.
Rosalina's figure can't be replaced by just AI!
Well, Theo understood Emilio's current thinking. He wanted to let Emilio exchange messages with his sister. However, since the man was still skeptical, Theo had to prove it with something more promising.
Theo himself has no problem with revealing about Rosalina and his magical game to those closest to him. He wasn't someone who would cover up important things for no particular reason.
The Isekai Guide may be magical. There will be many government agencies and the underworld groups who would want it. Unfortunately, the app connects directly to Theo, and only Theo can open it.
Due to this fact, Theo was not afraid that he would receive a threat if the magical game was made public. Although, Theo himself did not plan to tell the public.
For now, he would only tell his family and Rosalina's family.
Theo was sure that he would do a lot of strange things in the future, so he felt his family deserved to know the reason for his activities.
Meanwhile the Blumfield Family. Well, why did he have to hide Rosalina's whereabouts from her own family?
In order to prove that Rosalina is real. Theo decides to make a new mission. The day has changed in Etheria, so three new mission choices can be made.
Theo gave one easy mission, namely ten sit-ups. The reward for the mission…
"May I have your sickle?" Theo asked Emilio.
Theo was even willing to pay for the sickle if Emilio wanted to. Theo emphasized that he was asking not borrowing.
"What for?"
"For a present for your sister."
Emilio frowned. He didn't understand what Theo wanted. But he could see the seriousness in the man's eyes.
Theo saw the hesitation in Emilio. He took out his wallet and showed him the money to buy the sickle.
Emilio shook his head, he didn't need the money. He handed over the sickle. He wanted to know what Theo would do with the sickle. Which, after the man received the sickle. He immediately took a photo of it.
Theo returned to the mission panel, then listed the other two missions as impossible missions. So Rosalina will not choose the missions.
Theo sent the mission. At the same time giving a message, telling Rosalina to immediately carry out the first mission.
About five minutes later. Emilio, who saw Rosalina's character finish the mission, now saw something magical in front of him.
The sickle shone brightly and then disappeared. Seconds later, Theo showed Emilio that the sickle had been sent to his sister inside the game.
"What the hell?"
