4.07% Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage / Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Confession

Chapitre 20: Chapter 20: Confession

My sister caught me keeping secrets from our family, and she wanted me to discuss it with her. She invited me to her room as our meeting place tonight.

After our conversation earlier, we proceeded to the music room and performed our final rehearsal of our duet. We danced and behaved like normal, and her behavior around people was also normal.

But when there's no one around, her sharp eyes keep glaring at me like a stalker. She also keeps reminding me to come to her room tonight, over and over again.

We did not talk much during and after dinner. We continued our daily activities until it was time to sleep. That was the right moment to come over to my sister's room.

Clad in my sleepwear, I silently opened my room's door and peeked out my head. I looked around my surroundings and confirmed that there was no one awake.

(Good.)

I slightly opened it enough for my whole body to pass through and closed it silently. I already activated the Soundless Skill beforehand to cancel the noises of my movements.

I turned my feet to the right and walked along the dark corridor. I approached the door next to mine, my sister's private room. There was another door beyond, and that was our parents' love nes—private quarters.

Anyway, I am standing in front of my sister's room right now. Despite the dark corridor, I can see things like it is still morning. This is because I activated the Nocturnal subskill of the Monarch of the Night.

(You can do this.)

I am motivating myself as I am staring sternly at the wooden door. Sneaking into a woman's private space was a bad idea in the first place. If I get caught here, who knows what's going to happen to me?

Knock, knock.

"Sister. It's me, Raphael."

I knocked on the door twice and introduced myself to the person behind it. It would be rude if I just waltzed in without permission, especially if it's a woman's room.

"The door's open. Come in."

A girl's voice gave me permission to enter the room. I twisted the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

"Pardon my intrusion."

"Close the door and lock it."

I slowly closed and locked the door as she said. The room was quite dark as the lights under the ceiling were turned off. The only things that gave light in this dark room were the dim lampshade and the moonlight that passed through the opened curtains.

The room was filled with various ornaments. Full-body mirror; dresser; desk; cabinet; etc. There was a door on the right adjacent to the mirror, which was her wardrobe. Our rooms do not have their own bathrooms, so we have to wash ourselves in the bathhouse.

"So you have come."

"I have a word, sister."

My sister was already sitting at the foot of the bed, waiting for me. I have fulfilled my promise to come to her room, and now I have to tell her my secrets.

"Please take a seat."

"I appreciate your kindness."

I approached the chair she pointed at and took a seat on it. It was the seat for the table behind me, and my sister had already prepared it beforehand.

"Forward closer."

I moved my chair closer to the bed as she instructed. So close that our knees only create a close gap and are almost touching each other.

"You looked great in our dress tonight."

"Hmph. I'm glad you noticed it. I am wearing my favorite nightdress just for you."

"Is that so?"

My sister right now was wearing a see-through white negligee. It did not hide the red lingerie that covered her voluptuous breasts. Now that I think about it, she has a better body than I originally thought. I already saw her in a nightdress, but not this close.

"You keep staring at them again."

"I'm sorry. I lost myself in thought."

"Hmph. Then, can you open yourself up to me now?"

"Yes." I answered her question without hesitation.

"Then, you are now allowed to elaborate yourself."

"Thank you. But before we start, I have something to say first. The things that I will be saying might be absurd and hard for you to understand. It might change how you look at me, and that could ruin our relationship. Are you sure you want to listen to my darkest secrets that might ruin our family.?"

"I am certain. Whatever you say, you are my only little brother. I am sure that you had reasons for keeping your secrets until now. And I will accept you no matter what. I am also curious about these absurd secrets of yours."

"Thank you for your understanding, sister."

Confirming that she will listen to my stories, I will not hold back on revealing the details I should reveal. This is not because I was ordered by my sister; I did it of my own free will.

I am tired of keeping secrets from my family. I wanted to at least tell one of them about myself. I'll start with my sister first since she's special to me. 

"Okay, I will start now. First things first, do you know about the First Pope, the Demon Lord, the Hero, and probably the Mother of Arts?"

"Hmm? Yeah. Almost everyone knew about them, right? The First Pope who found the Primaria Theocracy, the Demon Lord who invaded almost half the continent, the Hero who defeated the said Demon Lord, and the Mother of Arts who greatly improved our current sense of art. So, what about them?"

"Had you noticed what they had in common?"

"What did they have in common? Like they had great contributions to the world?"

"Other than that, like the things that historians and theorists noticed about their existence."

"Theory..." sister put her fingers under her chin and thought for a while, "Ah! Historians and theorists noticed that they appeared once every five hundred years. They their own uniqueness like vast wisdom, immense power, remarkable skills, and limitless imagination."

"Precisely. Can you please tell me how old the Mother of Arts is this year?"

"This year is 988... Mother of Arts was born on year 475... 988 subtracted by 475 is 513... the former queen is going to be five hundred thirteen years old this year."

"Subtract it with my age."

"That's gonna be five hundred. Wait a minute—is this the reason why you asked about those extraordinary people? Are you telling me that you are... one of them...?"

"That's right, my sister. I am one of those extraordinary people that will be born every five hundred years."

"Y-you are telling the truth, right?"

"I know it's hard to believe and you still have doubts, but it's all true. I was chosen by the Goddess and got reincarnated in this world."

"I see... Let me think a little bit."

"I understand."

Sister looked like she could not comprehend the things that she just heard. Of course, my story was just too absurd to immediately believe. Hearing this from her own relative must have left her thunderstruck.

"Phew. That takes too much mental energy to just absorb it in my mind. Is there more to it than anything?"

"There are many things that I want to discuss. And you can ask me anything that you don't understand."

"Okay, I'll start asking now. What does it mean to be chosen? What do you mean, got reincarnated?"

"But before I answer your questions, I have something to tell you. There are worlds other than ours.

"Other worlds? Does it really exist?"

"Yes. And I once lived in one of those worlds."

"I don't understand."

"It means that every five hundred years, a wandering soul from my former world is chosen to be reincarnated in this world with their memories intact. And I was the chosen soul of this era."

"Soul?"

Sister once again got confused by the complexity of my words. Suddenly, learning new things increased the load on her mind. Her brain had already reached the limit of her understanding and began to metaphorically overload, then explode.

"Can your mind still withstand the suddenness of our discussion? If not, let's postpone it and discuss it later."

"No, Raphael. I want to learn more about you, right here, right now," she declared.

"Then I'll continue. Like I said before, I once lived in another world but died in an accident. Luckily, my soul got chosen and got reborn in this world. But before my reincarnation, the Goddess granted me the abilities that I needed to survive in this world, and she told me that I could live as much as desired."

"I see. I get the gist of it. That was the reason why those reincarnated people were powerful, intelligent, and talented: they had their memories and had obtained the skills they desired. It means that you got those rare and convenient skills from the Goddess, right?"

"Right. That is correct."

Not only was she stunning and beautiful, but she also had sharp thinking and an observant mind. No reserved memories or even photographic memory—just pure intelligence and wit. Our expected of the product of our mothers' genes.


Chapitre 21: Chapter 21: Acknowledgement

I made the decision to tell my sister my hidden truths tonight. She held her breath in shock as I revealed each of my unspoken secrets to her. She gradually ingested my crazy circumstances into her mind as forcefully as she could.

"…"

My sister and I exchanged silent glances as the moonlight shone brightly at us and the sound of billowing curtains echoed across the dark space. My sister finally spoke out and questioned me to break the eerie silence.

"So you still have memories of your previous life?"

"I have. I have been residing in two worlds for thirty years, making me intellectually older than you may believe.

I still believe that I have not really mentally matured all that much, despite the fact that I am mentally thirty years old and have lived longer than my sister.

In a past life, I was just a typical student with the obligation to finish my studies. I was given another chance to live, but when I did, I was born again as a newborn, starting over from scratch.

Since I'm still a child and just starting off, I didn't have many obligations. When I am given crucial tasks like managing a territory or new life experiences, I believe that my mind will continue to grow and develop.

"Thirty years?"

"It must be sickening, and you feel nauseated by the fact that you were in a room with a thirty year old, right?"

"..."

She did not respond to my faltering query and just bobbed her head. She must be offended that she was wearing revealing clothes in front of a thirty year old.

I also bowed my head, considering that I lied to my family for many years. I decided to reveal the truth to her and promised myself that I would accept their response and atone for the consequences of my sins.

Suddenly, my sister folded her knees and put her feet on the bed. She drifted her body backward until she reached the center of her huge bed. At first glance, she looked like she was distancing herself from me. But my expectations were betrayed by her next words.

"Come here."

She ordered me with her arms wide open. She was sitting flat on the white mattress as she averted her eyes from me. I hesitated at first, but I stood up from the wooden chair, indicating that I accepted her invitation.

I crawled onto the soft mattress and slowly approached my sister. I have a guess of what she will do, but I cannot allow myself to anticipate what I want given our current situation.

"?!"

Upon reaching a certain amount of gap, my sister suddenly clutched my head and plunged my face down to her soft chest. I tried to resist, but my sister's strength was superior to mine. Although I was superior in terms of level, she was physically inclined and stronger than I was. 

"Resistance is futile, Raphael. I am disappointed in what you said. When you said those words, I felt that you had lost your faith in my prior promise just because of a mere silence. I admit that I was quite appalled and fell into silence, but that doesn't mean that I will despise you just because of something as trivial as your mental age! No matter where I go, no matter how many times I turn the world upside down, it doesn't change the fact that you are my little brother! Like I said before, I will accept you no matter what or who you are."

"Sho-ree." I replied, still submerged on her sweaty bosom.

The words of my sister hit me as if my heart were being impaled by a sharp stake. All I had to do was stop struggling and give up all of my strength like a puppet losing its strings. I entrusted my body to her grip as I slowly but surely ingested each of her words.

I inhaled to supply my body with oxygen, but my nostrils were filled with my sister's sweet scent. Using the perfume as the catalyst, it stimulates the fragrance of her sweat to become her own scent.

"Even if you were reborn many times and gained thousands of years of experience, you are still my beloved little brother. Even if you become a founder, a conqueror, a savior, a pioneer, or anybody else, it is my duty as your older sister to guide and support you on your chosen path. Even if I am not your sister or just a stranger to you, I will still acknowledge you and your real self for who you are. This is this, that is that, and you are you. Understand?"

"Yesh. Sheshta."

I rubbed my face against her bosom as I nodded at her words. My entire face was engulfed by the softness of her chest. The sensation of her skin along with her luscious scent stimulates my entire body, slowly awakening my natural instincts. If I didn't have the Mental Attack Resistance, I would have already lost my reason and been attacking her like a hungry beast.

"If I ever feel disgusted with you, I would never do this kind of thing in the first place. I would never allow any man to have this kind of intimacy with me other than you. So you should be grateful."

Then she loosened the grip of her arms and set me free. Despite being attracted only to women, she allowed me to be physically close to her. It also pointed out how much she believes in and trusts me.

"I must be too pessimistic and did not think about what you had in mind. I am mentally prepared for the consequences, but it made me forget that people are fragile and could break," then I bent over my upper body until my head hit the mattress, "And I am sincerely sorry for ever doubting you, my sister." I apologize to my sister as I do a dogeza.

"Apology accepted." she said while folding her arms under her bust. "Now that you have calmed down, we can now go back to our talk. But if you cannot open yourself up right now, we can talk about it next time."

"I appreciate your offer, but I will refuse. I will disclose everything that I've been hiding these years." I sit up straight as I decline her suggestion.

"Have you told this to someone?"

"No, it's just you, sister. I could tell this to our family, but it's a matter of how ready I am or who asked me first."

I already have strong faith and trust in my family. But I was not prepared. Due to a mistake, my sharp-minded sister caught me hiding secrets and ordered me to tell her everything.

"So I am the first one you have talked to about this?"

"Yes."

"Then, let's proceed to our discussion."

"But first, take a look at my real status board."

I conjured my status board and a long, translucent quadrilateral panel between us. The board glowed a pale light blue, and it basking lightly in our faces. But the characters that my sister is seeing were flipped horizontally.

"I can't read. Come and sit here."

"…Okay."

She tapped the area of the mattress where she wanted me to sit; it was by her side. I accepted her suggestion and crawled to her right. The status board followed me, and I am now sitting beside my sister with my knees folded.

"With this, we can read it together," she said, then looked at the board. "What a long list." She fixed her attention on the board and read the contents with serious eyes.

It is definitely a long list. I've been killing monsters and taking their skills. Synthesizing them made it longer. By the way, this is my current status:

_____________________

I've been exploring deeper in the forest. Stronger and more powerful monsters were popping up more often as I dove further into the forest. In the next few days, I will be spending more time slaying monsters in the forest to level up and help ease my sister's worry.

After reading my stats and skills, my sister fixed her amethyst eyes on me. She tightly gripped my shoulders with both of her hands and glared at me with a murderous gaze.

"Raphael. I demand an explanation about these skills of yours. And could you please elaborate on these blessings?"

With that, I explained the skills and blessings that I got from the Goddess. I also answered her inquiries about the skills she didn't understand. We continued to chat about myself as we laid on the mattress throughout the night.
