[Lucy' POV: ]
"Ok, you two…"
We finished our last dinner in this place with everyone.
Our primary goal was achieved and things were finished.
Eva had endured through a lot of stuff but there were naturally many unexplained things between us.
She had promised to accompany us after she herself confird that everyone will be fine.
Well, from the point of view of soone like her, any place would be better than this shit hole.
She believed in us for so reason. And she was a strange but good character so I can't lose her.
So, here we were, in the room that we had lived our whole lives after reincarnating in our own world… or one a lot similar to one that we think we created.
Anyway, we were here for a chat. And she was looking at us with her tired eyes.
There were dark circles like a panda under her beautiful brown eyes.
We wanted to know more about her. And there were so things that we had to tell her.
Her calm behavior after seeing the dead body of the person that used to do such heinous things wasn't as strong as we expected… which was obviously suspicious but she was going to tell us about her now.
[ "As I always say, she's more than what looks to the eyes, Lucy. But let's hear her part of the story. You know I won't hesitate to kill her if I find sothing fishy, right?" ]
El was calm around her because this lady has always been a warm person to us but in a new world with countless uncertainties, it was only natural she would act like that.
I wanted her but she was the only person who knew the two of us were the ones who killed the orphanage owner.
El definitely wouldn't hesitate to execute a variable like her if it wasn't for the care and warmth she gave us during all this ti.
And I wanted her while she also knew how special a skill that could grow was so having her was the main course of action.

============
Swordplay. A basic swordsmanship skill that could grow even to the level of her special {Dismantle} skill.
At least in theory, it can. It all depends on the one growing it.
It was a rare skill and few possessed it in this ga.
Most of the known swordsn or more like most of the known (Knights) possessed this skill.
I sadly didn't have it this ti but I will make a better innate skill that would be based on this one but a far better version.
It will take ti but it was alright. I possessed better skills, body, and talent than in my previous life.
I was confident I can achieve better things than in my previous world where I only had hard work to achieve the things that I dread of.
It was better than that shitty place and I also had my darling this ti from the start. It was countless tis better than past.
Anyway…
"El. Lu."
She looked at the two of us and started talking about herself. Things that no child in this little, fate-forsaken orphanage knew about.
"My dad used to be a knight under the orphanage owner… that bastard.
When he was alive, he taught many things when I was young.
We lived in another town but, then dad ca under that bastard and we ca here, and that bastard…
One day we went out and he never ca back with us.
Maybe it had been thirteen years… to that thing. Maybe it has been fifteen. I can't… rember but after Dad left , I grew up here.
I was the oldest of the children of that ti… not that any of the ones that were with are with us anymore but I… I tried.
O-one day, that bastard had co to and told he would…"
She broke out in tears and El patted her back.
[ "Not even a spark of a lie. If anything, she said things simply and with as little detail as possible.
Man how I would have loved it if she said so cool stuff like-" ]
She was crazy as always. Soone was crying and she wanted to hear so spicy story filled with R-rated things instead of this damsel in distress crying ho drama thing.
Well, I had expected that much but neither of us had thought the Eva we knew would be capable enough to…
"That fucking son of a whore! He not only defied my purity! He killed my dad! That fucker killed him and! And! That fucking fucker of fucking demon shit! He-he!"
[ "Lucy! I love her!" ]
Eva continued cussing at the orphanage owner with curses that I had only ever heard from my El's mouth…
That was so serious hate and the way El was patting her back with a wide smile was… yeah. It was weird.
"I wanted to kill him! I wanted to fucking kill that bastard! He…he! He did those horrible things to ... to the children! Little children…!
He was a demon! A dog! His parents are dogs! Fucking slut dogs!!
I wanted to gauge out his filthy black eyes! I…I wanted to kill him many tis.
Today too… the only thought as I saw Logan (the dead child in the room), the little boy who used to laugh beautifully…
I wanted to kill him!
He always asked to beco like him…
I-I… I knew if I beca like him, I won't be myself anymore…
I would die rather than do the sa things he did to those children!!!
No! No, no, no!
I would never do the things he did to those children… t-those horrible things! I also wanted to cut his finger, his filthy 'thing', his eyes, take out his Internal organs.
Take out his eyes, his heart, his brain, his filthy tongue! I wanted… I wanted to do those things to him!
Kill him, burn him, cut him to pieces!
B-but… I was powerless… I am powerless.
I don't know how to hurt, all-all I know is h-how to look after children.
I-I hate myself. I hate this…"
"Oh Eva…"
El hugged her tightly.
She was frail while El was even stronger than her. Still, she understood her feelings.
I understood that powerlessness better than anyone but, I was more focused on her words than my darling sister who was having the fun of her life while listening to the things this frail Eva said.
She was also checking how true these things were with her white eye skill but the fun was the primary thing for her.
"Eva oh Eva… you should have been there when I did exactly those things to that piece of microbe shit.
Ahh~, you're so aweso.
Wanna hear what things I did to that bastard?"
She was looking into her eyes.
Her crazy red eyes reflecting in her brown ones… this scene was probably the birth of another crazy woman.
'Well, she's innately good, unlike my witch El. Her influence shouldn't be that great on her.'
I don't know if I will regret thinking this or not but, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
But Eva looked into El's crazy, fearless, happy eyes and slowly nodded, requesting her to tell her what things she did to him.
And she will tell her... with details I didn't want to hear once again.
"I knew you didn't send him off painlessly. You're amazing… nothing like . Those tools he never even bothered to wash were as clean as new… indeed. You used them. You killed him the sa way he used to… I'm happy… I am happy…"
She was happy. So much she was laughing like El and crying like when I did sothing I didn't like because of her.
I had mixed feelings looking at her but El just looked at her as if telling her to stop crying.
[ "She has natural observation skills and good awareness. Her father must be a good knight. Anyway~! She likes good stuff~!" ]
She was referring to the (Red) things. Well, she was a weirdo.
[ "Field sword would be best for her right? Her physique is also perfect. Just so good feeding, potions, and training, and she would be ready." ]
[ "Yeah… whatever." ]
"So! I started with this porcupine, holing thing where I used those skewers he was eating with."
She started the retelling of her great tale, the real things she did to that bastard, the red stuff that I can't retell even if I wanted, and Eva, our pure caretaker, listened to her tale with wide, sparkling eyes filled with stars of admiration.
I popped in sotis to stop her from telling too much red stuff but she mostly ignored and told her everything with so many details that she didn't even leave the cleaning part.
She… was bad and Eva was excitedly listening to her…
[ "You're corrupting my Eva!" ] I shouted through our link while trying to look out for so fresh air but her reply was cold.
[ "She isn't just yours brother. She is mine too now~. I will teach her so gooooood things too~. Hehehe." ]
[ "You're bad!!" ]
[ "Awwww? I'm bad? Well, yes. I'm bad… so bad that I want to eat that cute red face of yours~. Oh Lucy-
...! Oh! Right! We have Eva now! We can do threes-" ]
[ "Shut up." ]
My voice was stern and cold, and strong enough that she stopped playing around. She knew when I was serious and when not.
[ "It's always a possibility darling. Let's not forget that. I don't mind it at all~. I would love it actually-" ]
[ "Auriel." ]
[ "Jeez. Alright, alright." ]
She stopped and just continued talking with Eva and only finished after she explained to her how she did the last surgery and fixed the evidence.
Telling her everything was unnecessary but she was in her own zone. She only stopped when she was done with her 'cool' story.
"Wow… you really are amazing. Just like Dad said… reincarnated people are amazing."
"...?"
"Wohhh, wait. You know about reincarnations?"
It wasn't sothing impossible. Like, according to the worldview, there had been a few reincarnated people who helped in making the whole world, this world, and empire, but few common people actually knew about them.
It was information only famous among the higher upper class here, but in the general sense of the worldline, reincarnations were not that uncommon.
But it was actually surprising she knew it too.
"Hmm. My dad used to tell stories about a person that was a reincarnation. He said his na was Alex. And he was also a swordsman. Dad had read about him in an old book he found sowhere but it is just as the story said.
Reincarnated people are smart, different, and special from birth. They stand out even if they don't want to.
They possess knowledge and techniques of their previous worlds, but they have restrictions so they can't tell anyone about their previous worlds.
They are amazing people. And he used to say that if he ever gets the chance, he wanted to serve soone like them.
But… well, he chose the worst master, and now…"
[ "Alex Warlock Damian. There were books about him?" ] El asked as if this was the first ti hearing this thing.
[ "Well, of course. His diary is so of the only literary sources that have information on reincarnated people on this planet.
He was famous in the previous millennium but there definitely are still so surviving copies all around the continent.
Anyway, different from usual, we don't have any restrictions on information sharing.
Like, we created this world and almost explored a great part of the story.
The knowledge we hold is more than what the AI brain could restrict." ]
[ "Hmmm~! Still, it's best that we don't tell her much. Let's go with people from so other fantasy world.
It's better if she finds things out slowly with ti." ]
[ "Agreed. Alright. So, all done right? Tomorrow, we leave for the hunting ground after collecting so stuff from the city shops.
That money we collected from that bastard's safe should be plenty for a few months' stuff." ]
[ "Yeah… but for now, let's do so bonding talk." ]
By bonding talk, she ant partially brainwashing this poor lady.
But… it was important to so extent so it was fine.
We knew about her and her character greatly now. So, it was all done.
'Now, we go for so shopping, get so essentials, and then… hunting~!'
