Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 194 194 Are you a good person?

[Nes' POV: ]

"Hmmm…"

He was smiling calmly since earlier without saying anything and even after Brother Lucy and El went inside that closed space, this guy had been just smiling calmly.

"Hmmmm…"

"Ptsssssssss~?"

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiim~!"

Silver found this guy normal but strange, as if he was something that was something entirely different from what met our eyes and Ethan found this guy fun for some strange reason.

According to him, this guy was very interesting. So much so that he wanted to play with him and show him some cool things if he was interested in showing things that he could do as well.

'Silver is older than us so she finds this guy young even though he obviously looks the same age as Miss Eva, who she considered older even though she is still clearly younger in age.'

But it was different for Ethan.

From his point of view, this uncle-like guy before us was just as young as him.

He knew he was younger than his looks and also that the way he looked so normal was just a very good illusion.

He claimed this guy was not some guy to begin with and I also felt something unique about him, but, I couldn't tell what this unique feeling was.

'It's strange…'

Still, though, all things considered, I couldn't tell one thing even after observing him for a while now.

"Mister? Are you a good person?"

He did not speak with us, perhaps because he was El's familiar and she told him not to talk with anyone other than them, but, even though he wasn't talking with us, the fact that I couldn't feel the 'good' or 'bad' from him at all was concerning for me.

"I know El told you to not speak but you can at least speak with me, can't you? Please answer this one question at least."

I can feel when someone or something was good or bad, or safe or unsafe ever since I could remember.

Mom had told me this was a unique ability I was born with while Dad had told me trusting this ability will always be helpful to me.

One of my uncle had told me not to trust this ability too much though since sometimes, the distinctions between the good or bad or safe and unsafe is so blurred that it feels indistinguishable, and he had told me I should trust myself in those kind of situations instead of just trusting the feeling.

And, right now was one of those rare times I was feeling this strange feeling.

'I knew what was bad, the bad people I met when I first arrived in this city were clearly bad people but they were also so weak that if I had done something to them, they might have passed away instantly.'

I knew what was good as well since right after meeting these bad people, I met the ones that I felt the most safe around. So much so that it was a stronger feeling than what I got from mom and dad.'

El especially had always felt too good to me, and though just a little less than her, Brother Lucy has also been especially good to me but different from how El was obsessed with my well-being, Brother Lucy had been overly obsessed about El's well being and safely, perhaps so much so that I find it weird.

'But it's kind of cute as well.'

The two of them are cute, and, I know they love each other and also what those who really really really love each other do when they are alone.

I have seen many who love each other during my time back home but they were all different beings from me.

They were beasts or birds or 'creatures' from human knowledge so, seeing the two of them looking at each other lovingly reminds me of the uncle that used to come to meet an aunt, perhaps his wife, when I used to be in the hospital.

'I knew what love is so I know El and brother Lucy love each other. And since this is a different world unique from my last one, perhaps a unique relationship like theirs is a common thing here.'

I don't know much about the world yet, that's why I was excited to do my subject selection and choose all the amazing fun subjects and go to the biiiiiiiiiig library that El mentioned before to read a loooooots of books.

But still, I know about the good and bad, the right and wrong, and the people, as well as what they call 'creatures'.

And, I am certain this mister before us, as El told us, was a unique creature… but, was he a good person?

"Aren't you going to at least say something?"

"Haaaa… master ordered me to not speak with anyone however, you and that Lady there are exceptions. Still, though, I cannot answer what I don't even understand myself."

"Wow… so you can talk… and with such a pretty voice as well? Why don't you talk more if you have such a pretty voice?!"

He had suchhhhh a cute voice it almost seemed like Brother Lucy's, and the way he talked made him look actually as old as he seemed!

'Cooooooooooool~!'

But, what does he mean by not understanding such a simple question?

"Did you not hear the question clearly mister? I asked if you are a good person or not."

"Miss Agnes… I have been told to call you Nes and master interacted with me to tell you to call me Friday. It is the name mother-, my master has bestowed upon me."

"Did you just say, mother?"

"I said no such thing. I think you misheard something."

"He just said mother, right Silver?"

"Ptssssssssssss!"

"See? She also agrees. And she is never wrong!"

"It was just a slip of the tongue, Nes. Leave it. More importantly, I did hear your question loud and clear, however, that isn't what I was talking about."

"Hmmmm?"

Then what did he mean when he said he couldn't answer that simple question? What did he mean he didn't understand something as simple as being good or bad?

"Haaa… Nes."

He looked right at me with his unique light blue eyes that seemed to be as deep as the lake back at our home. Oh right… he had blue hair, somewhat similar to mine, hehe. That's a cool feature he has.

Anyway, what was this seriousness in his eyes?

"Good or bad… I do not understand these things. As a matter of fact, I do not understand most of the things that exist in this world. Including the most basic things like what thing thing called 'home' means.

You see… I have lived in a dangerous forest where my life had been at risk every single moment.

Just keeping myself alive was a task I could barely handle but still, there were countless ferocious creatures who always wanted to devour me.

They were dangerous and, I did not like any of that.

However, I was summoned by mother-, my master yesterday, to this seemingly unique world, and, after she granted me my own name, I gained new powers, including the power to comprehend the things around me, as well as the power to speak like this.

I do not know many things, I do not understand many things. All I know is I have my mother-, my master and the ones she cherishes.

All I want to do with my heart, my entire being, is to serve her to the best of my abilities and give her this life of mine that, already belongs to her.

She cherishes you, so, I, too, will do my best to look after you and answer whatever question you have if I do know their answer or, understand them myself.

However, I cannot answer what I do not know. Including the question, you have just asked me.

I do not know if I am a good person or not… perhaps, do you know if I am a good person or not?"

"I think you are a good person Friday."

Even though you aren't a person, you are good.

'And let's ignore the clear fact that he is calling El mother. It must be something she did herself… wait. If she is his mother, then his brother Lucy his dad? And if he is his dad, am I his aunt?'

This question suddenly popped up into my mind, and I couldn't just possibly overlook it.

"Hey, Friday. Another question."

"I am listening, Nes."

"Am I your aunt-"

"We are back everyone~! How did you all do in the short time we were having our little chat~?"

El came out of nowhere and hugged me from behind after shouting in her loud and cheerful voice as usual.

"Haaa. El? You don't want me to ask him that question, right?"

"Hehe, what is my cute Nes talking about~?"

She knows exactly what I am talking about. After all, she has the best senses here after brother Lucy.

There's no way she didn't hear the question if she was here when I asked it.

She definitely hugged me because she wanted to give him an opening since she knew if I asked him the question, according to her instruction of answering all of my questions, he would have to answer this question of mine as well, which, she did not want him to answer for me.

'And whenever she feagin ignorance like this, it means she really doesn't want me to ask him the question.'

Which ultimately answers the question itself.

"So I really am an aunt to him? That's cooooooool~."

"No! You are no one's aunt! You are my Nes! And you are too young to be someone's aunt! Hump!"

She hugged me tightly like she always does when she is upset or wants to express how she likes me too much.

'She is cute when she does this, hehe.'

But seeing how she ended her chat with Princess and Prince Morexis, it seems like the two of them will be going now-

"Oh, right! I just remembered the two of you will be going on a date now?"

"Hmmm? What date? No jeez. We are just going out to attend to some important business. It's not a date~. At least, not this one~."

"Hmmm? So it's really some work? I thought since the two of you wanted to go alone, it would be-"

"Hehe, no lol. We will take you with us when we go on a date for real. Our dates are a little different from the other people, you see."

She was smirking, and she only smirks like this when she is talking about something that excites her to a certain degree.

"Hmmm… I understand. Then, can you please let go of me now? I am almost out of breath!"

Her hugs are too strong sometimes! And why is she so strong?! Isn't she a mage?! Are mages supposed to be this strong?!

"Hehe, yes yes~."

She decreased the pressure on my body and after a brief gentle hug lasting a moment more, something she always does for some reason, she released me.

"El, the two of them will be taking their leave now."

Prince Morexis was a good person and Princess Catherein was as well, just that their goodness was a little different from the goodness of brothers Lucy and El.

They didn't know me yet so whatever goodwill they had for me came from my relationship with brother Lucy and El.

They respected them, or at least looked up to the two of them, and since I was close to them, they thought I was worthy of their interest as well.

'It did not mean they liked me though. Not yet at least since we had just got acquainted with each other. But, with a little time together, I know we will get close~.'

I don't know what important thing they all talked about but since they were prince and princess, I know their talk must be something very important.

'I don't want to know what they talked about but from the look on the faces of Elder Fang and Lady Alquea, it seems like the results were surprising for them.'

Anyway though…

"Let us meet when the school starts."

"Cathy~! Rest assured! I will take good care of your goodies and you~."

Brother Lucy sighed with his look of disbelief after she said that, so it seemed whatever she meant by that, was not something he liked, hehe.

'She is a troublemaker and he still likes her, so cute~.'

The two of them are so good together~. I wonder if Princess and Prince Morexis will have this kind of relationship as well.

They do seem like the type of princess and prince that might end up together, just like the ones in the stories that my mother from my previous world used to tell me during all my time in that place… haaa…

"Then, I await the day I will be able to change our relationship."

"And I pray that day arrives soon."

Brother Lucy… he was lying right now.

I can tell he was lying.

But why was he lying? And to the crown prince no less?

'What did they talk about for him to lie to him? …wait. Is brother Lucy doing something illegal by lying?! What the-"

"Nessy~! Let's say our goodbyes~!"

She dragged me alongside her while gripping my hand tightly…

Perhaps she caught onto my confusion and wanted to tell me that everything was alright, however, even before I asked her about what they exactly did there, she had dragged me all the way before the two of them, and, what the hell!

"Cathy~! Rex~! This is my Nes~!"

"Ummm… ehhhhh… h-hello? I-it is nice to m-m-meet you!"

I bowed to them and, without even waiting for their reply, I ran away from them to the other side of the room where the familiars had gathered.

How was I supposed to face them?!

And why did that in the first place?!

Ugghhhhhh!

El! She is unbelievable!

"Oh?"

"Ah, apologies. She's a little shy."

I can hear you all! And no I am not shy!

You make me act shy!

Hump!

'Tssss!'
