Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Rein's POV: ]

"So unbelievable… so unbelievable, so unbelievable."

"Are you trying to emphasise your shock by saying it three times?"

"Shut up Uriel…"

Now, she wasn't respectful with us anymore. She was talking casually, and it was much better this way.

"You both lied to me!"

And she was being angry at us even though we had just told her about half of our lives that we had spent together.

"Yes we did. But we told you the truth as well, did we not?"

Thanks to Anna's special kiss, she did not fall into some chaotic wave of emotions and was able to think about the situation calmly.

She surely was upset about the grand reveal but, after a little thinking, she understood that there must have been some reasons.

Then she took a deep breath and told Anna how they all were making fun of her.

'And then Anna was angry.'

Quin chose to tell her the truth instead of playing along with us, showing how she prioritised to punish her friends instead of playing along with their family.

'We all had to listen to her long angry, upset, punishing words, and though hurtful, Eon accepted her harsh words with a smile.'

He was happy. And so was I…

"Don't try to justify it! Ughhh! My god you two are unbelievable!"

Now that everyone was gone, and Anna was being consoled by her big sister Zoe who alone did not play along with their little game, the three of us were left alone on the terrace, by the edge of the terrace in our special place.

"You were lying all this time about everything. My god…"

"Well, we technically didn't lie. We just hid-."

"You want me to say some sweet words, Lucifer?"

Instead of calling us respectfully with the names that originally belonged to our current appearances, she was calling us by the names that she knew the best even though we did not look the same as we did in the academy.

"Haaa… so you are miss Mia's sponsors as well."

"Isn't it amazing that the people that you looked up to and the people that you cursed at all the time in the academy are the same?"

Now that she knew everything, Eon couldn't help but tease her even more than he usually did.

She knew everything now so, the things that would not have affected her before, were now even more embarrassing for her.

"Shut up! Just shut up, you dummy! …I even called you sir and lady! How the hell did you two behave so differently all this time?!"

The whole premise of maintaining two distinct identities came from the people around us– Celes' help was the second main thing that helped us with it.

'If it weren't for the few people that knew about us being good with acting or being under strong oaths, it would not have been possible for us to maintain the two different personas even with our good acting.'

Celes' skill allowed us to change the appearance as well as the distinct aura that the two of us have. It was the reason we were able to create the different image that the academy knew us as.

The acting skills that the two of us had came from years of experiences that transcended space and time. It was pretty natural for the two of us, but without the others, it would not have been as easy as it was.

"Well… let's just say that we are pretty good at what we do?" That was the only answer I could give her anyway.

"Of course you two are good! Very good is an understatement!"

Even for us, it was pretty funny seeing her like that.

'Until just this morning, she was respectfully calling us Lady Reinelle and Sir Axion.'

But now she treated us the same way she did in the academy. Holding back her swear words and slamming us for everything she found crazy.

'It was adorable as always. And it was actually quite refreshing.'

[{ "Should we tell her we have met divine beings?" }]

[{ "She will kill us if we do lol." }]

There was still a lot that she did not know about them, but most of it was things that not many in this house knew either.

For now… Quin knew how Eon had been in the great forest for many years where he trained under his master- Zoe's mother until she passed away.

Then when he came back to the outside world, he coincidentally met me, the representative and successor of Atraxia– who was also a hundred year old witch, a fact that few knew.

She knew about Celes' skill, how she was in fact a crystal butterfly, as well as about Branwen, the pretty crow that she had met a few times already.

She knew who we were now, so a lot of things about us made a lot of sense to her.

'The kind of money that we had, the connection with Heliox and Atraxia, the resources that we so easily possess, the skills and the abilities that everyone knew we had been hiding– and the most important thing, his food.'

Her biggest shock was not our identities but how the one who made the luxurious and unbelievable dishes in the Heliox house, and the one who made otherworldly things in our academy was the same person.

"I'm going to have a heart attack tonight…"

"Don't worry. We have Clover."

"She cannot heal! I know that already! And I know she cannot cure a heart that has already stopped beating!"

"Oh, well, that's true. She cannot do that."

"But I sure can."

Eon smirked at her, making her remember how he was also the person that 'wrote' one of the most beloved novels of this era– something that according to rumours, also contained ancient medical techniques that would soon be integrated into the academy teaching curriculum.

"You! You…! I know you are teasing me!"

"Of course he is. But he's telling the truth."

Now she knew he was also the person who owned one of the most famous food chains of this world, who also had many inventions to his name, as well as someone who everyone wanted to make connections with.

'He was a great cook, he was a great magic archer that was famous for his skills in the high society of this world, someone who had deep knowledge of alchemy, someone who had taught the youngest master alchemist of this world, someone who was far more amazing than she knew– someone who ultimately was someone she could not hate even if she wanted to.'

And she loved me, so hating me was out of the question already. I am her best friend. And that shouldn't change…

"I want to scream so badly right now… you two have no idea how embarrassing I feel right now."

"Do you want some more tea?"

She was red like a tomato. So, yes her embarrassment was visible to us already.

"Yes please."

But the tea was too good so refusing it was just foolish, even from her unique standpoint.

-Sip.

"Haa… I wanna die."

"Oh? How would you want to die? The building is almost six floors. Should be enough-."

"Shut up! I didn't say it like that!"

"Oh? Then do you want to die peacefully? We have poison, we have a guillotine in the basement as well. Or if not that-."

"Urial! Slap that bastard for me please!"

"With pleasure~."

She requested genuinely. There was no way I would miss this chance, hehe.

-Slap.

"Oh, but, you said it yourself, no? That you wanted to die? Well, if we have a lot of ways to peacefully send away our adorable Quinny. I would personally prefer a clean cut to the neck. Quick, painless, and if done by right hands-."

"Ptfff, that's enough teasing Eon darling. It's getting dark now, kehehe."

-Slap.

He had caught my first hand but the other one was still free so he got a slap with the back of my other hand.

It was funny, but she will start thinking we actually are some kind of crazy psychos. Not that it will change anything anyway.

'Nothing changed even after we told her the truth.'

She was still the same Quin that we met on the first day of academy, and she still behaved the same as she did when she was with us.

'She was not maintaining herself like she did around Axion and Reinelle anymore, but still, now that she knew the truth, along with her anger and sadness, she was even more impressed by us.'

There was the same kind of respect in her eyes that she had when she was around Axion and Reinelle, but at the same time, she was now as comfortable with us as she was when she was around Lucifer and Uriel.

'It was funny, but at the same time, fun.'

When I slapped him and he finally stopped his nonsense, she hugged me and I hugged her back.

"He is a bad person, I know. You will have difficulty getting used to his contradicting nature."

"Hun uhun… he's a bad person."
Stay connected with M-V-L

"He's the worst. I know."

Even in the academy, she did not like how he did crazy things. But there, I did crazier things sometimes so she relied on him more and asked him to do something about me.

But now, it was different.

'She was closer to us now that she knew the truth.'

She was the same friend that we knew, just that now that she knew both the people that she looked up to and the people she was closest to were the same, she was much more comfortable around us.

'It will still take her a while to get used to things here, but this long break that we have should be pretty enough for that.'

By being around the people that were familiar with the two of us the most, she will learn even more about us that we had not told her yet.

And, mom and dad will be coming over tomorrow, so things should get even fun around here~.
