The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 292: I am back...

After finding Delphina, I roughly explained the situation to her. Delphina agreed to keep an eye on the stars while I’m gone, as Delphina is obviously stronger than the stars.

So there’s no way the Stars can escape if they try to do something they shouldn’t, just for safety.

"Okay Star, I’m ready to go," I say in front of her while Delphina sits at the table.

"We can start then," the Stars say as the smaller one joins the larger one and they begin to do something with magic while a crack starts to appear in space.

’I can’t just copy this...’ It’s a shame, but what they’re doing is too complex for me to just look and repeat, plus the amount of magic used is far too great for my current self.

"You can enter here, Pandora," the Star says while looking at Delphina. I also look at Delphina.

"It’s safe, Pandora can enter," Delphina says, just staring at the star. Since Delphina confirmed it, I cross the crack excitedly for this 1 month period I’ll have.

"..." As soon as I pass through the crack, everything goes momentarily dark, then I suddenly see as if the environment was temporarily in space before darkening again.

This repeats for a few seconds, and then suddenly I appear in a place with no one around. I look around at what seems to be a normal square, with large buildings and the sound of cars in the distance.

With that, my tail, which has already returned due to the effect of the medicine lasting only three days, is wagging excitedly.

"...This unmistakable scent of polluted air...I’m back on Earth," I murmur excitedly. I’ve returned to Japan, I don’t know the exact location, but I recognize some of the distant structures, so I must be 30 to 60 blocks away from places I know.

I stretch a little, unable to wipe the huge smile off my face, and the first thing I do is launch several shadow crows to gather information. I need to know where each of those bastards are so I can kidnap them.

"..." While the crows fly, I spread my mana through the environment that has 0 magic. According to the stars, my presence here will cause humans to awaken magic.

Which makes sense if the mana infiltrates their bodies, and since my mana is very dense, it doesn’t dissipate from the environment, practically stagnating in it. So the more mana I use and spread, the more magic will be impregnated in this world.

But I don’t care about that, they can enjoy this little gift. As my mana spreads, I try to look at the system to see if it really came with me, and it actually opens.

However, there is a timer, it seems to be the time I have to stay in this place, which is good because with the time being displayed this way, I won’t make mistakes and end up returning without having finished "having fun" a little.

Walking through the city streets and going to the place I know, I start to encounter people who look at me momentarily, which makes total sense.

After all, they’re seeing a pale girl with a very large black tail wearing quite an unusual outfit, but they’ll probably just confuse it with some cosplay or the like.

"..." Walking a little further, a boy stops me.

"H-Hi, this cosplay is a-amazing, what character is it from?" the boy asks nervously. He seems to be one of those nerds who are really fans of this kind of thing.

"Yes, it’s an amazing cosplay. It’s from a new game that’s about to be released, and I’m doing some promotion using the appearance of the protagonist," I say to him with a smile.

"It’s a horror game, where some people will have to run from a terrible and sadistic monster that will hunt them down to death, going after their souls," I say as my smile grows even bigger.

"What’s the lore?" he asks, interested.

"Hmm, unfortunately I can’t say, you’ll have to wait a little to know more about this game, but it will probably be very famous in a few days, it will likely be in the news and on the internet as a news story," this will definitely happen.

"C-Can I take a picture? It’s rare to have such well-made cosplays outside of events, I-I’m a big fan," he says, which makes me think for a moment.

"I believe so, as long as you don’t touch me and pay a small fee, but I believe you don’t have enough to pay because it’s quite expensive, around 150,000 yen, so I think the answer is a regretful no," I say as I start to walk, leaving him a little disappointed.

But at the same time, I steal the wallets of everyone around me with the shadows, collecting the money and destroying all the wallets, as well as stealing some of the cell phones.

I quickly check each cell phone until I find one without a password, throwing the others on the ground. As soon as I get the passwordless cell phone, I access the internet to do research without caring about the looks.

"Hmm, it seems their disappearance has become big news." I quickly find the search about a classroom where all the students suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk, I don’t see my name here, am I so irrelevant to those filth that I don’t even deserve to be mentioned?" I murmur angrily, crushing the cell phone as a reflex. They put everyone’s names except mine.

As if I was so irrelevant that I didn’t even deserve to be mentioned, they even built a memorial to honor the losses, and I wasn’t mentioned at all, and this fills me with rage.

These damned pigs, even after losing their children, haven’t changed their ways of being at all, erasing me from history, probably thinking I would be a "stain" alongside their children.

My anger clearly affects the entire environment due to my mana, causing all the nearby people to feel ill, since they have 0 immunity to mana and its effects.

Taking a deep breath, I just keep walking, going to a place that is special to me. After a few minutes of walking, I arrive at the cemetery where my mother was buried.

Reaching her gravestone, I see how dirty it is, as no one has cleaned it. I kneel down, close my eyes, and join my hands.

"I’m back...mother," I say, feeling good feelings about it. I never thought I’d have the chance to say goodbye properly to this place.

"Mother, I’m fulfilling my promise, I’m living very happily now. I don’t know what you would think of me, but I’m very happy that you didn’t abandon me."

"And don’t worry about me, now I’m strong enough to never go through anything like that again, strong enough to seek justice in the way I want." I say with a big satisfied smile.

"...I hope you’re happy wherever you are," I say as I clean the gravestone with magic and form a large bouquet of black and white flowers, using a lot of my mana for it.

I place the bouquet here along with a shadow dragon and hidden wolves in the shadows of the environment and on the ground. They will protect this place until they are killed one day.

I get up, feeling a momentary sense of gratifying peace. It was a brief moment, but very good for me. Unfortunately, time doesn’t wait for me, and I already have my first target.

"Your daughter has returned, ’daddy,’ and I’ll make sure to show you how amazing she’s become," I say with a diabolical smile as I start to move through the shadows. Some of the crows found my "father," and I’ll love to torture that worm who abandoned my mother for money.

Everything in life has a price one way or another. I bet he never thought that one day I would come back to collect the price for the suffering he caused my mother.

But I’m back, and we’ll have a sweet and nostalgic "family" reunion where I’ll show him how many new and fun things I’ve learned.

Although in a way, we’re no longer family at all, but that doesn’t matter to me. I’m very happy now and I love my new mother, who is an incredible person who gave me a second chance at life.

I make sure to spread my mana in the environment even more as I move, finding him.

"..." I feel immense hatred for him, but patiently follow him through the shadows. He’s holding some things, seems to have just come out of a market.

And in a few minutes, I follow him into an apartment. He enters, and I see two more people inside, a woman and a small child, about 4 years old.

"Papa..." The child runs to him and hugs him, and he strokes the little girl’s head with a smile. This increases my hatred.

Because this worm is still able to be happy when my mother had to suffer. It’s simply ridiculous, and I’ll make this worm pay even more dearly for daring to be happy after abandoning my mother, who was an incredible woman.

I come out of the shadows right behind him, and he doesn’t even notice. He just goes to the kitchen where the woman is cooking. With the mana, I notice him hugging the woman from behind while kissing her with a smile.

"..." I look at the child who was watching me come out of the shadows inside the house. I give her a gentle smile, as she is technically my half-sister. Since I was reborn, we have no bond, but it’s okay for it to be that way.

"Oh..." She just says "oh" while staring into my eyes as if hypnotized.

"Hello, little one, shall we surprise your daddy?" I say to her, kneeling down to her height while my tail moves gently.

"S-Surprise?"

"Yes, I am a very benevolent goddess, and I have come here to bless your family with my presence and time," I say to her with a gentle smile.

"Wow, a goddess?"

"Yes, I am a benevolent goddess who has come here to congratulate your daddy for being such a happy person now," I say, standing up.

"Now let’s go see your daddy and tell him that an amazing goddess like me has come to see him," I say as more information comes to me through the crows.

I tell her, and she starts walking behind me without losing my smile.
