Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 27: 27 Aftermath

[Lucy's POV: ]

"Ok, Eva. Don't be that worried. We are ok and... you won't have to worry about that bastard pig anymore.

He is gone now." I reassured her, gently stroking her troubled head.

Eva was in her mid-twenties but her appearance was not that old at all.

She looked young, and aside from all those nasty scars and weak structure, she was a beautiful woman.

With her brown eyes locked on the dead man hanging on a normal metallic table, she frowned with disgust and an anger-filled face.

Then, looking at us with a worried expression and eyes filled with uncertainty, she asked, "Are you ok?"

This was the kind lady we both knew, asking us if we were ok even after seeing a dead pig's body with her own eyes.

Though this was pleasing to her eyes that someone that had dragged her through such hell was in that pathetic state, she didn't care about him at all right now.

'Instead of being angry, shocked, or afraid of the ones that had managed to kill such a monster, she asked us if we were ok.'

She was one of those kind-hearted cliche people from the fantasy novels, but that was her charm.

She understood from the looks of the neatly cleaned room without any traces of blood or struggle that we wouldn't talk much about it.

She didn't dig too deep and just went along with the things that had happened.

She understood if we, some small children, could take care of this monster like the bastard that had put her through hell all these years, then we were far from normal.

There was no need to even worry about us, but she still asked us if we were ok before anything.

And I liked that one.

"Yes, we are ok Miss Eva. This bastard is now dead so no one has to suffer anymore.

Now... there won't be anyone that could do anything to you."

The news struck Eva with a deep surprise, ever so slightly alleviating the weight of past torment from her weary shoulders.

Slowly, that surprise transformed into a glimmer of joy, a radiant expression that held the promise of liberation not only for herself but for every soul within this hell's walls.

The children here were lost ones, or the abandoned ones with no one to take care of them but, no one would have to die just to satisfy some bastard's boredom anymore.

'Now this place was free from the tyranny of the baron and would become a better place than the hell it had been.'

Her eyes filled with tears and flowed down her bloodless cheeks like a river of grief.

[ "The genuine tears of relief and love..." ]

The warmth in them was evident, and there was close to no selfish desire in them. A rare sight in a world like this one actually.

"Calm down Eva. Everything is over and it looks like we are late, too.

The guards will come any time now, so we have to go now. Let's finish things here and go back."El said while comforting her.

El wasn't content with how things had turned out, but everything was ok.

She had her fun. I had my revenge, and the bastard had received what he deserved.

The first part was finished and there was no time, so we had to start the second one as soon as possible.

And this lady was going to be an important part of this plan.

'Well... there weren't many big things to do here anymore anyway.'

The bastard will have died a natural death according to diagnosis.

He was sleeping in his room, and the room was clean.

The night was dark and on the night of the 13th of November 987 of the world calendar, the owner of this great orphanage had reached the depths of hell where he will receive the punishment for his acts.

His acts had brought down the name of demons and a demon had died because of his foolish actions.

He will thus suffer there too for a long time before being used as 'fuel' and even that much will be less painful than what he had gone through here.

So much was done and making Eva tell the outer authority about the abnormal actions when they arrive will be a decisive move that will guarantee the safety of other children.

'Though Eva will have to do the hard work, it won't matter to us as we can choose what we wanted to do as we were of adequate age already.'

Calming the crying lady with much difficulty, we moved the body of the pig and reset the body of the child that had been laying on the other side.

I had taken Miss Eva out while that happened so that El can do her work and I knew she wouldn't leave anything behind.

Not even the traces of mana.

***

"All the evidence of baron involved in various crimes and heinous acts has been collected and confirmed.

The death he got was the most painless for the atrocities he had committed and we all are truly ashamed of ourselves for that.

My condolences on our negligence, miss caretaker.

It truly breaks my heart to see monsters living among humans in such nasty ways.

Haaa…

We will take care of everything so you can rest now. You have suffered as much as these poor children."

An officer from the capital finished and looked at her with proud eyes.

"We understand you couldn't do anything before but, you showed courage and helped us find criminals that pollute our great empire.

We will always be thankful to you." the officer thanked her with a smile and gave her a respect-filled salute.

She bowed her head with weak, red, swollen eyes and saw the officer in blue clothing walking away.

It had been a rough day but they also caught the affiliates of the baron after Eva informed the Central Bureau of Security which had their main branch in the capital.

There was a communication device in the baron's private chambers, so even after his 'normal' death was confirmed, the aftermath was a forest fire.

The CBS was something of a modern time security department of a country.

In this empire, there was a great deal of importance to the reports against crimes and things like these.

The baron was involved in many things, and his family lived in the capital with luxury.

I didn't know their circumstances, but here, the whole town was in turmoil.

The CBS sent their important officer and even a captain was here to look through things himself.

This was an important character, and in the future, he was going to play a big role.

There wasn't much to know about him aside from the fact that he was around level 300 right now who would be a center of a certain incident.

So, yes, he was an important figure.

The children from the orphanage would be shifted to a better place and will receive better treatment.

We had already declined that told them that we would be independent as we were of legal age, so there wasn't much problem.

And we weren't the only ones.

Some were going to go to other different places and earn money for different academies they could go to and become a better person.

The CBS had taken full responsibility so there was no problem and every child, regardless of their age and the time they had lived here, was compensated with the utmost care.

We can ask for money or other things we wanted, but there was nothing more precious than freedom.

The officers in charge of this place didn't notice our appearance much as we were wearing concealment hoods that we had borrowed from Raz after going out of the basement.

We had asked Eva to join us, and surprisingly; it was easy to convince her.

We had already reassured her that everyone here would be better than here and she was already convinced with just our words.

She agreed to join us and become our guardian and the authorities saw nothing wrong with this.

Technically, she was just a good adult who was devastated by the cruelty of the owner of this place, and taking in two random kids wasn't a big thing in their eyes.

'Instead, they saw this as a noble deed of a courageous woman.'

They were done with their part for today, but it will take until tomorrow to clean everything up.

The actual web of this town's underground was widespread and strong so they couldn't clean it up just yet, but it was a good start now that they had a solid lead from the records of this pig bastard.

That was just the right stuff and there was no need for us to wait for anything now.

We were free after a brief investigation and talk with every child so everything was cleaned up for us.

Well, we had already taken care of his important belongings, so they wouldn't have to worry about this either.

"El, Lucy. Looks like they are done. Should we prepare the dinner?" she asked with a genuine smile on her tired face.

We could feel that she was exhausted, but she was also relieved as could trust the word of these officials.

The children were safe, the bastard was dead, she was free, and everything was over.

And she believed us.

Which was good as we were dying to eat her cooking.

"Yes~! Let's go~," we answered as one and walked inside the building that had been our dwelling all this time.

We would leave this place tomorrow, so this would be our last and probably the best full meal here with everyone.

'Finally... we can go out and start the hunting.'

I was excited about leveling further, improving my skills, and fighting the creature I had only seen through that virtual world, but the delicious meal made by her was the main thing we were looking forward to.

Things had finally ended so this marked a new beginning for all of us...
