Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 278 Revival

[Eva’s POV: ]

’Why would someone that doesn’t even know a thing about me want to give away their life in such manner... in such place... for someone like me...

There was nothing much special about me, and it wasn’t even like he didn’t know I was El. He knew it from the start, unlike all the young students that came up to me and prosed me thinking I was El and I had become more... girly.

"Why would you do something so stupid?"

It wasn’t like he didn’t know that I was just an old woman either. This person knew all there was to know about us humans, I knew from the start.

’He was a playboy who changed his partners every other week, I know that very well. Sometimes, he even changed his partners more than once in a single day.’

There was only lust, sex, and blood hidden behind his innocent-looking face and that simple-sounding fake name, Tim.

’Who calls themselves Tim in the first place? Why would someone want to have such a bad name as their nickname in a time like this?’

He was an older person than what he seemed to be, I knew that much and I knew pretty lot of things about this vampire person, how he had lived for longer than I could ever imagine, how there was no place for emotions or feelings in the frozen heart of this person...

She told me a lot of things about him, and I confirmed many of them myself.

’Strangely, when I asked him about these things, he didn’t even try to deny any of the things.’

The fact that he was a vampire that lived off blood.

The fact that he was too old to be a student of this academy.

And even the fact that the only reason he was trying so hard to get a date with me was to take me to his bed and spend the night with him...

He did not deny any of those things.

’This bastard even smiled and said he would want nothing more than to spend more than a few nights with an old lady like me.’

He was cringe sometimes, sometimes just plainly annoying, and many times, he was just pretending to be a sincere guy who was more of a gentleman than the helpless, small, damsel in distress that he showed to the other ladies that he later spent his nights with.

’He wanted to have my blood since he said the smell of my blood was unusually strong... and filled with a kind of sorrow that he would very much love to savor with all his soul.’

He tried hard to get me to agree to his date.

Became a stocker and followed me around, and when I was just too fed up with his attitude, I even got angry at him and we had a fight...

I even used my sword art and Luel to injure him just enough that he would stop following me around.

But... as El had said, he was also unusually stronger than what met my eyes.

My attacks did not work on him.

He had just played around that day and found what I was doing so fun that he laughed so hard his stomach started hurting... this bastard.

He was a headache. And, he persisted even though he knew I was not capable enough to attach myself to anyone...

There was no meaning to anything he was doing since at the end of the day, even if successfully gets a date with me, sleeps with me, and has as much blood of mine as he wanted, he knew it as well... he will not have me.

I simply wasn’t capable of doing that.

He knew that... and still... still...

"Eva?"

His body was cold like ice now.

The strange blue blood he had, had now become colorless... almost like water.

His blue eyes had lost their color, and still... he was smiling.

"He saved you, hun? Looks like even the glaciers can melt when they meet the right sunlight."

El came to save us, I had expected that much.

They were always there when I was in trouble. When we were in trouble.

Friday had managed to connect them so I knew, I knew at least I would be saved.

I knew I would survive somehow... I know I will survive...

"Why did he... why?"

My vision was blurry since tears were blocking it. I couldn’t see her clearly, but I didn’t need to see her clearly to recognize her.

I had raised her ever since she was wrapped in those silky clothes. I could recognize her even without seeing her.

"Eva... I know you know the answer to that question already. There’s nothing special I can say here, so, I will ask you just one thing."

She was looking at me.

Her fingers were clearing the tears in my eyes.

Her touch was cool. Not cold, but just... cool.

"Do you want him to live?"

"Hmm?"

My eyes were finally cleared after her touch, so I could see her face clearly now.

And, I can also see her eyes... clearly.

"Isn’t... isn’t he...?"

"Eva, did you forget I told you this person was immortal? Someone who had lived through the darkest times and survived the most lethal wounds?

If an immortal could die, why can’t the same being be revived?"

She was serious right now.

Her eyes... they were serious.

"So, even though he was a bastard that didn’t really matter to us... if you want, and only if you really, truly want it... I can bring him back.

Haaaa. Tell me. You still have three minutes from the looks of things."

She... was serious.

She can bring him back.

He was dead, and I know for a fact reviving him wouldn’t be just something she could do with a snap of her finger.

This was a person’s life we were talking about.

She was talking about reviving a dead person.

"Will... will you get-"

"Ah, don’t worry too much. It will be a little difficult but I should at least not throw up any blood.

Don’t worry about me and tell me if you want him to live or not. Depending on your answer, you will either have a friend you can be with most of the time or... a broken being that will never have what he wants."

She was lying right now.

I know she will be in a lot of pain even though she said it would only be a little.

It wasn’t going to be easy for her to bring someone back all on her own without Lu sharing the burden of the things with her.

"Jeez Eva.

I came here prepared to revive you in case you were dead.

That ’Lu’ of yours threatened me to bring you back, alive and fine.

Now seeing as you are alive and all fine anyway, looks like I don’t have to worry about you too much.

But since this bastard died protecting you, I can at least do that much for him.

He saved you, after all."

"Yes... he saved me..."

I knew from the start he wasn’t using Mana or anything. I would have known if he was using his normal powers.

’He was stronger than what he showed in all the time we have been here... in this hell-like place.’

This place... this fucking place was the reason I was powerless.

It was the reason we were in this situation.

It was this shit hell’s fault he was dead!

"Fuck!!!"

All the pain, frustration, the feeling of helplessness, all the anger, and sadness... everything that had been piling up inside of me up until this point gathered and sprung up in the form of a single curse... and, a stream of tears.

"El... please, El... bring this bastard... bastard, back. He... never got his... his date.

Bring... bring him back, so, so that I... I could kill him... myself."

After that date, he wanted so much.

"Very well then..."

He died for me... I don’t like this.

There’s nothing going to happen between us past the ’date’ thing.

We would just eat some good things in some good places while wearing some good clothes, and do a few things that would be fun... that was all there was to a ’date’.

He was a player, I know that very well.

Perhaps he will play tricks, do some things that will make me want to touch him, get close to him, be complimented by him... he knew the art of seduction well, I know that already.

But, El had taught me the same art form herself.

I already know how to recognize and counter the tricks that he would, and could play on me so there was no way he was going to drag me in bed with him.

And even if he did... there was no way anything past that was going to happen.

He knows that. And if he still continues trying... it will keep getting painful for him.

There will only be pain if he continues down this path, but...

"Step aside."

He saved me.

It was thanks to him, that I was still alive and breathing here.

So... I at least have to say thanks to him, for doing all that... for me.
