Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

[Lucy's POV: ]

She's an artists.

A complete artist who knows arts of many kinds.

And, whenever she wants to truly showcase these artis of hers, she puts all her talents into it.

'However, very rarely, there comes a time when she creates, or performs one of her arts to not show how she is the best one who can do it, but, for someone else.'

It is rare for her to do something for someone else, and, it happens on very random times so unexpected even I do not know when her mind would drop on something.

However, I love every time she does it.

'There's no way anyone could ever hate that rare side of hers, actually.'

Just like these protagonists that will do great deeds in the future and be known for their accomplishments.

'We only had a close relationship with Nes so the others could only be called our acquaintances. However, even they were just as mesmerised as Nes by what they had witnessed just now.'

Her battles. She loves them more than any other dance form she has mastered.

And, the rare times when she dedicates these ballets to someone else are times it is the most transparent and heart touching…

[[ One is amazing, master. ]]

[[ "Isn't she? You know, this is the fourth time she has dedicated a ballet to someone else. And, though it was spectacular, if she had a bigger stage, it could have been even better than this." ]]

[[ It could be better than this…? ]]

[[ "Yes. And, perhaps, we will see her do it someday in the future if the fate allows it." ]]

[[ It is fascinating how someone so dark… could be capable of producing such radiant thing. ]]

[[ "Hahaha. As they say dear, the most broken are capable of producing the most beautiful things." ]]

She wasn't exactly the nicest person in the world, or the warmest.

She had tendencies that the others here were better off not knowing.

However, those very unspeakable qualities of hers were the reason she was so unique with her arts.

"Ellllllll~. You were sooooooooo gorgeous~. Ellllll~. How are you so pretty~~?"

Nes was crying genuine tears of joy as she hugged her tightly after she walked back to us.

The others were still in their stunned phases.

Lily and Leon had their mouths closed and eyes fixed on El still. They couldn't process what to say or how to react after seeing something so… magical.

"That was the most beautiful act I had witnessed in my life till date, sir Lucifer…"

"'Sir' is a bit too much, Ras. And, yeah. She is beautiful."

I was looking at her with a warm smile, and she was looking at me, asking how she did with a curious smile of her own.

'She doesn't know how well her performances are when they are dedicated to someone else, or something that does not or could not belong to her.

She herself could never see herself during those performances, and that, is one of her regrets.'

Though, it is natural.

Only someone other than the artist themselves, could ever witness the beauty of the moment when that is being made. It is the privilege and world given right of the spectator. And the artists themselves, are forever cursed to never know just how heart throbbing they are in those moments.

[ "Gimme a wish." ]

[ "I would have to, even if you don't tell me, silly. I would be a bastard if something this phenomenal does not deserve my heart felt gratitude and a sincere wish." ]

[ "Hehe, you are already my bastard, bastard. And if you are so happy, why not give me two wishes?" ]

[ "Well, no thanks. That would be putting a knife on my throat so we will go with one wish. And one date if you want… but on second thought-" ]

[ "No second thoughts! I get one wish and one date! You already said it!" ]

'I was going to give you a little more, but if you are happy with just that much, I'm happy as well.'

She is beautiful, and the ones that admired her performance were not limited to the nine of us and our familiars.

-Oooooooooooong!

There were hundreds more who wanted to praise her for her performance.

Including the greatest being of this special room.

[ "What a spectacular performance, dear student." ]

A voice rang in our heads once again, however instead of music, this one was a deep voice that belonged to a unique being.

"Hmm? What was that?"

"Didn't it seem the same as the music? But those words… who is it?"

The girls looked around to see who the master of this voice, was, and, seeing their reactions made the voice chuckle with a joyous laugh.

[ "Hohoho. It is I, young students." ]

The voice said it, however, Cathy and Nes were still confused who the owner of this voice was, so, it gave them a better hint.

-Oooooooooooong!

[ "Here. Can you see me now?" ]

A unique ball of light materialised right in the middle of all of us, surprising Cathy and Rex as it has appeared right in front of their faces.

"Kyaaaa!"

"Woah. You surprised us sir."

"W-what is that?!"

"Woooooooooow! Is that a spirit? What is it? What is it~?"

[ "To think only three out of ten would recognize me… looks like I truly have gotten older." ]

"Hahaha not at all, esteemed elder. You are still as young as the fresh breeze that fills this room, the spirits that roam the corners here, as well as this very castle that is your sanctuary."

[ "Hoho. Is that a compliment or an insult, young boy? Hohoho. Regardless, you have got a nice way with your words." ]

The old voice that was ringing in our heads obviously belonged to the great spirit tree we were standing under.

"Is this voice…

"No way… really?"

"Mister tree can speak? How amazing…"

"Hello mister tree. I apologise for our misbehaviour just now. We had no idea you could speak as well."

They realised it right after the way I interacted with this voice in a respectful manner.

[ "Hohoho. It is alright. It is alright children. It is understandable why one would react this way.

You do not know me, or practically anything about me. I can understand that much. Thus, you do not have to apologise or be worried about anything.

Besides, I would love an introduction from the first students to discover us and this place after three centuries inside of apologies.

Oho, before we do so, shall I have a moment to thank the one who showed us all such a lovely performance today?" ]

Three hundred years, it was quite a long time. However, it was not as long as we had previously known.

In normal circumstances, it should have been five hundred years however, someone found this place and entered it three hundred years ago, changing what was known to us.

[ "It's different here as well." ]

[ "Don't think about this El. This is your moment. Enjoy it instead of worrying about that uncertain stuff. Besides, they're gonna reward u you for such an impressive ballet." ]

Including this mister ancient tree, all the spirits present in this place also liked her dance so much that they wanted to give her some presents from their sides as a thanks and as a token of their friendship.

And of course, both of us were expecting this from the moment she was going to dance in here.

[ "Hello, you miss." ]

The ancient tree, who has taken the form of a ball of light, the same as the restricted spirits, was the spokesperson for these various spirits who could not speak with us themselves because of the world penalty.

However, despite these limitations, they could converse with him, and that much was enough for this conversation to happen.

[ "Hohoho." ]

The ball of light floated before El as the others watched the two of them, and heard their conversation.

[ "I was pretty surprised when you came here out of nowhere and asked me to play 'Chobach opening No.3' for you. However, I am glad I complied with your sudden request, which was more like an order.

It has been forever since I had seen a performance as beautiful as this one. Or perhaps, I can say this is the first time any of us has seen a performance as attractive as this one." ]

An ancient [Ego] who was wiser than many of the gods watching us, more powerful than many of the demons who could influence our world, or more holy than any bastard angel present here, was praising my bad sister.

But this time, at least this time, she deserved all the appreciation she was getting and, much more.

That performance was good enough to enchant even the higher beings and a large amount of WL net's communities. The finite beings like us couldn't possibly not like something like that.

[ "I am grateful I was able to witness such a performance, as well as be a part of it. And, there are many others beside me who think the same. So…" ]

The ball of light shined brightly with a light so intense that every single one of us were blinded by it for a moment.

[ "From all of us, please accept these little things. We would be grateful if you do." ]

Then, when we opened our eyes again and the white curtain before our eyes vanished completely, we could see some things floating around El.

"These things…?"

There were six things in total.

All of them something so extraordinary one wouldn't find it even after they searched this world twice for it.

[ "Are they to your liking?" ]

"of course they are… especially these. I recognise them…"

[ "Hoho, to think there would be someone who would recognise them in this era. You sure are a special one in many ways, miss.

However, they had been entrusted to me so that I can pass them to someone who is worthy of possessing them." ]

"But I… I can't-"

[ "Now don't be like that, miss. It is a present. You should just accept them." ]

El was flabbergasted, like genuinely.

'A sight even more rare than seeing her genuinely smiling for someone else.'

But the reason for that was understandable.

[[ Master… are those earrings, what I think they are? ]]

[[ "Yup. The <A> rank growth type artifact that previously belonged to the founder of Barnacle empire's elder mage and one of the few true archmages this world has ever had, [Elemental flowers].

You sure have done your research on this world, little one." ]]

One of the things she received was a pair of earrings that looked quite modest from design, however, only with one glance could someone tell just how extraordinary this artifact was.

[[ There are not many records of these earrings, however, whatever is left of them, describe them as a pair of earrings possessing a unique gemstone within them that possesses special powers, and an ability to store magic.

This one matches those descriptions pretty perfectly. ]]

These earrings were an item we always knew were in possession of this particular being however, even after doing anything she could think of, she did never got these things for herself.

'She almost destroyed this tree, maxed out her affinity with him, asked him all about them, tried to buy then from him, however, all the things she had done were of no use.'

They were sealed in his own personal storage, and there was no logical way to have them. Not even if she became a true god and descended on this land. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

'This particular being was a special existence of this world that not even the headmaster could order around.'

He had a close relationship with this very world, and thus with the Worldline in a way, so, force was never an option. So, she had done much more to gain those things.

However, everything she did had failed miserably.

'But that was in the game.'

Here, after being rude to him and showing him something the entire world now appreciated, she was granted something she could not have in the past attempts.

A fact which made my cold hearted strong lady, melt down for a moment…
