Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

272  272 Sudden emergency

[OP: ]

1

After the two of them went to the dimensional dungeon, Eva and Friday took their place and lived as them for the entire time they had been in that place, and during this time, a few noticeable events took place that El and Lucy came to know a few days after they had come back.

There was a certain swordsmanship class where Friday accidentally ended up hurting a regular student with his swordsmanship which was a little different from what Lucy usually used. But that matter was resolved thanks to Eva's quick judgment.

-Swiiiiiiiiiish~booooom!

There was an accident where Eva summoned her griffin during the class, which caused quite a large commotion for a while, but thanks to Nes' help, the matter was resolved by a 'rumor' that went around the school for a few days before dying out completely.

One day, during an alchemy class, Friday got too curious and started asking so deep and complicated questions that the teacher had to kick both of them out of the class.

And similarly, there was a time when the two of them got kicked out of a class for being too good at it.

"Skeeeeeeeeeeeech!!!"

The teacher in charge of the class told them there was nothing left for them to teach the two and, since the reason they said it was because of a mistake from both of them, they had to change classes to a more difficult one, which they later finished in a week as well.

The classes these two attended were all pretty much finished too quickly, so, there was a rumor going around the school that the twins were some kind of repeaters or scholars who already had learned all the things that they were teaching them over there.

And since their strengths were already unmatched, the students kind of started to get distant from the two of them…

It wasn't what Lucy and El had hoped for, though. But since they knew the two of them only had to substitute them for a short while, they did not have to worry about the academic things…

However, though the two of them did not know it, their actions were causing quite a wave among the tears and the academy staff.

-Boooooooom!

They knew the identities of the ones impersonating El and Lucy, though they didn't exactly know who Friday was.

There were speculations all among them but the truth of the matter was only known by a few of them close to the headmaster, or the people who could tell the difference between a human and a beast…

Their time as students were pretty fun, and though they only had the two of their friends protecting and saving them and helping out occasionally, since the two of them were not the people they had befriended before, there wasn't a bond of true friendship like the one they had with Lucy and El.

There were differences between them, but that did not mean much to the two of them.

El and Lucy were their family and masters. And they had requested them to take care of the things in their absence, which they did pretty well.

And when they weren't playing the roles of El and Lucy, Friday took care of the Marciel family and the people from her house of Clubs, while Eva maintained her role as the official helper of the academy.

And, while doing it, she had to do a certain task which, ultimately, was the reason she was in this situation at the moment.

-Booooooooooom!

"Miss Eva!!"

"Back off Friday! And do not use that power!"

"But miss Eva!"

"El will not like it, Friday! You will die even if you use it! And I will die as well!"

"But…!"

"Just go! He is holding that thing back! We can do this!"

"But Miss…!"

"Go and connect them! This is an emergency! Use that thing! Go…!"

In an unknown place where the ground was cracking up and spewing out black flames, lava was seeping through the cracks and burning everything in its path, the way the sinister creatures all around them attacked them relentlessly, to how the strange-looking humanoid giant, enraged and devoid of any kind of senses, was attacking them without mercy.

There was a familiar figure holding the creature back… a young-looking person, covered in mortal scars with Blue, gold-spotted blood seeping out of them.

"Ughhh…!"

Eva was covered in scars as well.

Her battle clothing was torn from a few places.

She was surrounded by creatures resembling scorpions filled with the same black flames as the ones spewing out of the ground, along with a body made of purple rock-like hard exoskeleton that was too strong to break even for the combined powers of Eva and Friday.

-Booooooooooom!

In this hell-like place, filled with poisonous smoke and temperature so high even steel would melt by being in this place, there were only three people fighting these creatures of hell on the ground.

A griffin as well as a blood owl, the familiar of the third person with the two of them, were fighting the bat-like creatures in the sky with winds and tornadoes covered in flames, and a deep rain of blood shaped in arrows.

A war was going on in this land… however, the odds were not in their favor.

"Mister Tim!"

"Ughhhh! Lady Evaline! Please escape-, augh! I… I can handle them."

AJ, an immortal, was dying.

-Ooooooooooong! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But even in his wound-covered state, his eyes practically blind, his body devoid of all strength, his Mana pool empty, his blood pool almost on the verge of collapse, with all his internal circuits a mess… he was fighting against the giant of black fire all by himself.

And, even though he was in no state of protecting his own life, he used whatever strength he had left to create a long blade of blood so ginormous it was taller than the giant creature itself.

Which he used on not the giants, but on the creatures that were obstructing a path to retreat for Eva.

"Mister Tim!!!"

-Bham!

-Swaaaaaash!

-Bhaaaaaam!

If he had used that attack on the creatures instead of the scorpions blocking them, there could have been a chance for him to create a window of opportunity to fall back for a moment, recover a little of his strength, and get the hell away from this hell!

He had wings, and he could fly away if he wanted to, but instead of doing what he would have done in a similar situation just a few months ago, he created a path to retreat for someone else… someone he had started to feel something for a while back.

"Augh… augh!"

But after getting hit by the giant hands of the creature, and crashing into a wall like a mountain near them, there was nothing more he could do for her.ll

"Mister Tim!"

It was on a clear sunny day, in the garden of spring, under the shade of a tree that he saw Miss Eva, sitting there along with a bunch of flowers, making something like a flower tiara all by herself.

He knew at a glance that person was not El, but their personal helper who was disguised as her with the powerful skill of some otherworldly creature.

He knew she was Eva from the smell of her unique blood, however, there was something different about her.

He had never seen her freely doing something she liked, all he had seen Eva ever doing was to roam all around the academy, some cooking, and a few times heavy things that required her special sword skills and her griffin.

He knew she was pretty and all but, in a disguise, she was doing something she liked for fun… that was the first time he saw her freely doing something she was doing without any particular reason.

And, he found something unique that day…

He thought back about her when he was doing it with his other partners. He thought about how she was happy, how she smiled, how the winds around her sang a unique melody when she put the flower crown on her own head with a smile.

He thought about her, again and again, during various activities, after many nights… he thought about how the winds carried the sweet smell of her breath.

He was enchanted by someone for the first time in centuries… so, he tried to know more about her.

"Shit. No no no! Mister Tim! Open your eyes!"

"Augh! Augh! G… go, Eva."

"No! What do you mean go! How can I go after leaving you in this-"

"Arughhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The giant's roar was strong enough to cause an earthquake… he was looking at her, at them… he was coming for them.

"Go…"

He had opened up a path for her, she could run away now, and there was no need to worry about someone like him… he wanted to die for a long time anyway.

"No! I won't!"

She thought it was weird how he was following her all around the academy at first, however, she was stunned the first time he asked her for a dinner date.

She had received many confessions during the time she played El's role, but this was the first time someone they had warned to be careful about, was asking her out for a date.

And he was asking her out when she wasn't even in disguise so Eva found it more weird.

There was certainly something special about him, she knew, but she rejected him since she had no interest in him.

She was only a helper and a family of Lucy and El, and she liked it that way… it was difficult for her to give someone a place in her life after all that she had been through in that hellish orphanage.

Even his undeniable charm and power to attract the ladies did not work on her. She was nice to him when he refused his offer for the date, but, she was indifferent to his powers… something impossible for any lady with an available heart.

He knew she was different, something that made him even more attracted to her.

"Arughhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He kept asking her out in hopes that she would agree at least once after a few hundred times, every human had a limit to their patience anyway.

And every time she rejected him and they talked for a few minutes, in that brief moment, he did not know why… he felt things called 'emotions' that he had not felt for a long, long time. -Ooooooooong!

-Boooooooooooooom!

He was stunned when El suddenly came back a week ago since he was going to ask Eva out once again before their first test.

He was surprised, but he talked with her later that night outside their dorm balcony. And he rejected her again.

Then again after a few days.

And again earlier today when Eva and Friday were hanging out in the same part of hilly areas outside the empire's capital as him.

"Just wait, mister Tim! Just wait a little while! We will get out-…!?"

A sudden dungeon break occurred and pulled both Eva and Friday inside, but thankfully, right before the dungeon entrance closed, he also jumped in.

And then, they all found themselves in this hell…

"E… Eva… go…"

He was a cursed immortal. He had lived for who knows how many years of this world's time, but he had been present since the thing called a 'war' occurred for the first time…

He had lived through everything to this day.

And now, after doing what he was capable of, finally… he was going to get rid of his curse.

And, embrace the warm afterlife with open arms…

-Oooooooooooooooong!

"Ughhhhh…!"

Or perhaps not.

"Mister Tim…?!"

Not until he has his date with this special lady.

"Arughhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The monster was nothing like anything he had come across in his long life. Perhaps it was a being of another world or perhaps a creature of a different realm.

He did not know what it was, they did not know what it was… but it was deadly.

Had enough strength to kill all of them.

Including Eva.

And if something happens to her…

"What are you doing?!"

He won't ever have that date.
