Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

"Is it this one?" El asked as they stood before a giant tree that seemed to be as tall as a mountain reaching the sky.

"Yup. It's this one. The crystal should be on the top so let's call Raz. He should be able to retrieve it."

Lucy had a confident look in his eyes as he looked up at the great tree.

The rare treasure, the crystal that contained the pure power of the sun, its light, the power of its purest flames, and its brilliance was resting on top of this tree.

Well, Lucy had accidentally found it in the past so even he didn't know just how something so unreal reached this unique place but he was sure that it was there.

One would normally have to climb the tree, defeat the strong insects and creatures living on this great tree, and reach the top to get that treasure. But... they had Raz.

"Alright then~!"

She had grown up too, and it was too 'fine' this time, so it had become even more difficult to not get attracted towards her, but the rules were rules. And he fucking hated that!

[ "We can always do it if you want, b.r.o.t.h.e.r., just say the words and-" ]

The strength of their connection had increased so the emotions one felt were even more clearly known to the other one.

She knew his heart and the conflicts of his heart.

She didn't mind anything at all actually, she was always open to anything anytime, but he was still as stubborn as ever. She wouldn't start if he really didn't want it, but she wouldn't wait either if the water (of patience) overflows her dam.

Anyway…

-Oooooong!

<Nya~. Your friendly neighborhood merchant has arrived~!>

He was wearing a hat and glasses for some reason today but this kinda unique entry was natural for them now.

He had already become a part of their little family and was cutely open about many things.

He was adorable, and El's embrace and her hands were the best things in his heart now.

If anyone who knew him witnessed his current state, they would refuse to believe that he was the same ruthless ruler of the dark they had encountered firsthand. The transformation was inconceivable, yet it was undeniably the truth.

"Raz? Can you please go to the top of this tree and retrieve the Solnova crystal from there?"

<Nya...?>

The kitten was surprised to hear a name that he wasn't expecting. But he had long accepted the fact that his contractors were unfathomable.

So, the kitten flew up without asking any questions but Eva was interested in this thing.

"El, Lu. What's this Sol crystal thing you are so excited about?"

They actually were excited about this. The smile on their faces was enough evidence of it.

"It's a special material that will improve my sword, Eva. It's a great thing, but it won't be useful for now.

It's very rare, and only appears on planets very close to the sun, and the mythical creatures closely related to the sun like dragons or phoenixes love eating them.

It's something cool, and when it becomes one with my sword with a bunch of other things, this little red sword will become something far more fascinating than now."

He was smiling warmly and Eva was happy to see him smile like that.

[ "She has a crush on you Lucy. A true, passionate, hot-" ]

[ "Shuddup El." ]

"Hehe. It's true though~."

He shook his head and didn't say anything anymore. He also knew about what she was talking about but he didn't want that. For now, she was the only girl he wanted to-

<Nyaaaaaaaa! There really was a Solnova crystal!>

The little kitten hurriedly dropped towards them with a shocked expression and a small white crystal in his hand.

It was a dipyramid prismatic crystal with somewhat of a white surface and a strangely attractive white starlight glimmering inside it.

It was a small crystal, only the size of the little kitten's small paws. But it was a warm jewel in true meaning.

"Thanks, Raz~. You're the best~. Hehehe.

Now, gimme some honey you stole from those golden bees."

<Noooooo! Nya! It's mine!>

He was cute but, obvious too. It was all over his white face, so one couldn't not know it.

El took the small crystal from the little kitten, held the kitten, and started cleaning the golden beads of honey stuck on his face.

He was a good-good boy for them so they loved him even more.

<Nyaaaaa. You are planning to mix that crystal with that blank slime membrane and then mix it with your sword, right nya?>

"Yes~. My smart Raz~."

El was happy that he understood their deep intentions. He was smart after all, and now he was even smarter after being with them for these past years.

<Nyaaaaaa! It's amazing! That special sword definitely had unreal potential!>

Yeah. He was right again. His special eyes might not know what the unidentified core of this sword was but he could definitely see its unreal potential.

<But, nya, if you have a light sword, will El have a shadow staff?>

He was smart in true meaning to figure out their intentions. Living with them for that long had definitely taught him a thing or two about his contractors.

"Right~! My little Raz is the best~! So, you will give me a discount on a Shadow stone, right?"

Just like how Solnova crystal contained an essence of the sun, a Shadow stone contained an essence of pure darkness.

Solnova crystals were widely used in the makings of holy or divine swords, while shadow stones were used in the making of the greatest magic staffs because of their great unique effects on the staff owner mages.

But, just like a Solnova crystal, the shadow stones were a product of his secret shop and were costly AF.

<Nyaaa! You know I can't do that, right? And you won't even have anything left after you purchase the titles! Nya, how will you even pay for it?!>

He was surprised, angry, and confused. They were saving money to buy that important thing for so long and now she was saying she wanted something as costly as the shadow stone.

It was even crazier than finding a treasure like Solnova crystal on top of a small planet's tree like this one but, she wanted to purchase something that cost hundreds of thousands of Oz...?

"Don't worry, dummy. We have a plan for that."

Yeah, they did have a plan. A plan to do a mass genocide of an entire troll village and steal their treasure.

It was a bad plan, but they had to do it to get the treasure chest, get something good from it, sell it, and buy this important material for her.

It was a plan that couldn't be called a plan. But the little kitten wouldn't mind it even if they told him this as long as there existed a silver treasure chest.

So, they were done here. And now… they only had one thing left.

But for that one thing, they had many preparations to do and strengths to accumulate.

They knew they could do it so…

See you all after a few more years~.𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
