31 Aftermath (1)
Inside a hospital VVIP room
Two woman could be seen chatting to each other, one of them is a graceful lady with dark brown hair and bright golden eyes.
"When do you think they would wake up?" (Anna)
While peeling some apples, the lady with pink hair spoke
"I don't know, the doctor said that they just exhausted their mana" (Mina)
Turning their head, they looked at the two child lying on bed. Even after such fierce fight they looked very peaceful.
"But why are they hugging each other like this?" (Anna)
"I don't know, I tried separating them but some kind of magic is preventing me to do so, forcefully separating them might come with some risk" (Mina)
"Haaa..... at least they are not hurt" (Anna)
"Yeah" (Mina)
Suddenly a groaning sound resounded
"ugh..." (Laila)
Twitching her body, she slowly opened her eyes.
'Bright.....' (Laila)
As her vision began to recover, she saw the figure of two beautiful lady staring at her with a relieve smile.
"Mina?" (Laila)
"Good morning miss.... did you enjoy your rest?" (Mina)
As if remembering something, she suddenly stood up
"Where is Ray!?" (Laila)
"He is beside you miss Laila" (Anna)
Turning her head, Rayford is sleeping beside her. Relaxing her body in, she lay back down beside him.
Dumbfounded by her action, the two maids sigh
"Anyway, how long did I sleep for?" (Laila)
"You slept for two full days, we are now inside a hospital" (Mina)
"What happened to Elizabeth?" (Laila)
"Elizabeth?" (Mina)
"I mean the vampire queen, what happened to her and how did she lose?" (Laila)
"Well.... to be honest I don't know, all I saw is that she suddenly disappeared right after you two appeared" (Mina)
"What?" (Laila)
blinking her eye, she turn her gaze towards Anna.
"Don't look at me, I was unconscious at that moment" (Anna)
After casting time magic on Laila, she went into mana deficiency and went unconscious. Because of this she didn't witness the fight against the vampire queen.
"Anyway, how did you know the vampire queen's name?" (Mina)
Twitching at her word, she turn her head away attempting to feign ignorance.
"You promised to explain everything remember?" (Mina)
"Haa.... let's wait until Ray wake up, he should wake up in a bit" (Laila)
"...fine, after the prince wake up explain what happened" (Mina)
As she said so, Mina started to feed Laila the apple she cut beforehand. They also inform what happened while they are sleeping.
First of all, King Kyle personally came here and right now is handling the aftermath while the queen is handling the media.
The incident surprisingly didn't cause any casualty aside from the city guards and some knight, even so it's not too many. Sadly Anna's team that was one of the factor preventing causality was completely wipeout.
Arcana Academy is also affected by this incident, causing them to delay the entrance ceremony for an extra week.
As they talked around one hour passed.
"Ugh..." (Rayford)
Hearing my groaning voice, the girls stop talking and stare at me.
"You've finally woken up, Mina and Anna keep asking me about our strength should we tell them?" (Laila)
"About that...." (Rayford)
Pondering a bit, I telepathically talked to Laila
(We should only talk about the memories, don't say anything about the game. I'll explain more later) (Rayford)
Nodding her head, she turn her gaze towards the two maids.
"The strength we poses before, is a temporary manifestation of our previous strength in our previous live." (Laila)
Both Anna and Mina widen their eyes at her jaw dropping words.
"S-So y-you both are reincarnated?" (Anna)
"Is that even possible?" (Mina)
After pondering for a while, what Laila said actually made sense. Their maturity despite their age, Impossible strength, and most importantly their wisdom. Thinking that far, they decided to believe their absurd story.
Thinking of something, Mina curiously asked
"Wait, if you both are reincarnated how old are you? (Mina)
"Can we not answer tha-" (Laila)
"Adding our previous live, we are now 30 years old" (Rayford)
"..." (Laila)
"What with that look? It's not important anyway" (Rayford)
"..." (Laila)
All she did was stare at me but I could feel my instinct telling me to run, a cold voice then resounded
"I think I need to cram a lady's common sense in your head" (Laila)
"Hieekk!!" (Rayford)
Ray screamed, the expression on his face said "how did you expect me to know that?". No people told him that such common sense existed. Turning his gaze, he saw Mina feigning ignorance.
"Im sorry!!" (Rayford)
That day was the first time Rayford ever regretted angering Laila.
***
"So this is what we know so far" (Rayford)
"I still can't believe this..." (Anna)
"But that's what we experience" (Laila)
We have just finished explaining to Mina and Anna about our reincarnation, as expected they both still can't accept the situation due to how absurd it is.
In summary, what we told them is about what they were in their previous live (In the game). We also told them about how I first met Laila, about how me and Laila was the strongest and the second strongest respectively.
"But that was a really nostalgic... I remember when you used to chase me around challenging me over and over" (Rayford)
"T-That's because I wanted to beat you!!" (Laila)
"I don't even remembered how many time we fought" (Rayford)
"I think we fought more than one hundred times" (Laila)
"Anyway that's all" (Rayford)
"I see..." (Mina)
Though we didn't told them how they were now related to the pillars and about how this world was a game there, but we decided that this was for the best as they didn't want to make Mina and Anna more confuse.
"We are going to tell the queen about this, are okay with that?" (Mina)
"It should be alright" (Laila)
"Yeah, there should be no problem telling mother about this" (Rayford)
Thinking that there is no problem in telling them this, I nodded in agreement.
"Okay now you two should rest, I'm going to help the guards to clear those ice chunk" (Mina)
"You could find me in the room beside this one if you need any help" (Anna)
"Okay" (Laila)
"Got it" (Rayford)
***
After seeing them leave, Laila sighed and spoke
"I think it's about time you explain the whole story" (Laila)
"Can't you just look at my memories?" (Rayford)
"No, I can't dig much from there and I wanted to hear it directly from you and....." (Laila)
Changing her expression into a serious one, she spoke with a serious tone
"So.... is it true that a war is coming?" (Laila)

A/N: I would probably upload faster after this, though it will depend on my mood and the amount of school work I get.
