Chapter 180.1: Resurrection
Chapter 180.1
Looks like the coast is clear now Lay muttered as he held up Evansmana.
Indeed (Shin)
Shin was standing next to him, with the God-Slasher in his hands.
He, too, was facing the sky with his God-Slasher at the ready.
Behind them, Reno was laying face down on the ground.
Misa had her head against her chest. Reno had pushed her down to the floor and was holding her in her arms, as if to protect her.
Back then, when the Surgeldonave was shining in the sky, all three of them reacted at the same time.
And they all shielded Misa as quickly as they could.
Are you okay? Reno asked her daughter in a gentle voice.
Misa nodded slightly while staring at her face in blank amazement.
Youve grown so much (Reno)
When Reno gently stroked Misas cheeks, tears dripped on her fingertips.
Are you my mother? (Misa)
As Misa uttered her question in a stupor, Reno gave her an affectionate smile.
Yes I finally got to give you a hug Reno said as she hugged Misa tightly.
Her body was enveloped in light, turning pale and transparent.
The time limit for borrowing Frans body was no more than a few minutes.
Im sorry that we kept missing each other (Reno)
Tears welled up in Renos eyes.
And Im sorry that I couldnt stay with you forever (Reno)
! Wait! Dont go! (Misa)
Tears were trickling down from Misas eyes.
Please Not yet! (Misa)
The end of her sentence was slurred, and her words were drowning in tears.
Dont leave me Please stay just a little longer (Misa)
With a sad expression on her face, Reno shook her head.
Her body was fading away again.
But Weve Weve finally just met and I For such a long time Ive (Misa)
I love you, Misa. And Im sorry (Reno)
Renos tears fell on Misas cheeks.
However, those tears didnt turn into tear flowers.
The Great Spirit Mother had long lost her power.
I may be fading away, but At least youre still here. Im sure Anos will save you. Along with the poor girl who was your other half too (Reno)
Reno held back her tears, then she smiled.
She had the face of a kind, gentle mother.
Im really happy I gave birth to you (Reno)
Suddenly, a particle of light rose up and moved away from Misa.
For a moment, when Shin looked up at it, the particle of light took the shape of the Great Spirit Mother.
Shin Thank you. Goodbye. And know that (Reno)
Reno extended her hand out to him.
When Shin gently grabbed it, she smiled.
I was happy. (Reno)
Reno (Shin)
As a single tear dripped down his cheek, he declared.
I love you. (Shin)
A warm breeze blew, and Reno suddenly disappeared, as if it carried her light away.
All that remained in Shins hand was a teardrop of the Great Spirit Mother The pure white tear flower that he had placed on her gravestone.
Mom (Misa)
Tears flowed out of Misas eyes without stopping.
They trickled down her cheeks and soaked the floor.
Please I beg you Fran Misa uttered in a sobbing voice.
Please let me see my mother one more time You can do it, cant you? Because if you could do it just now you can do it for a bit longer, right?! (Misa)
Misa rose up and called for the Love Fairy who had to be somewhere in this room.
While she cried just like a child.
It wasnt as if she didnt understand that this was an impossible demand.
But even so, her sadness still ran deep.
Just a little longer Thats all I ask for (Misa)
However, the Love Fairy didnt reappear.
Fran would lend her body only once.
And it only lasted until the one possessing her had conveyed their feelings of love and realized that they had already passed away.
Dont ask for the impossible, Misa. The Love Fairy doesnt possess that much power. The best she can do is bring closure to the tragedy. (Anos)
Misa gave me a begging look as I slowly walked up to her.
Anos-sama (Misa)
Misa spoke as if trying to squeeze her words out.
This is all my fault (Misa)
Misa tearfully expressed her sorrow
If I had never been born, my mother wouldve never died (Misa)
Thats not true. (Anos)
How is it not? My birth caused my mother to disobey her own rumors and legends, and die (Misa)
By awakening as Avos Dilhevia, Misa had probably regained the memory of what happened two thousand years ago.
If only I never existed (Misa)
Misa, have I ever said anything just to make you feel better? (Anos)
Eh? (Misa)
While spilling large tears, Misas eyes widened in shock.
Theres no denying that you became the cause of Renos demise. No matter what I say or how I gloss it over, it wont heal your grief. (Anos)
Misa was staring at me, dumbfounded.
But when I say Thats not true, I mean that shes not dead. (Anos)
! Is this true?! (Misa)
At the same time Misa raised her voice, Shin cast a strong glance my way.
Yeah. But before we can save her (Anos)
As soon as I said that, a faint light began to leak from Misas body.
When I directed my Magic Eyes at her, I could see that her source was about to fall apart.
She couldnt survive with her source, which was cut off from Avos Dilhevias, and only half of an actual one.
We have to save you first. (Anos)
I spoke to the Hero, who was standing beside me.
Lay. (Anos)
He stepped forward.
You need to do as her legend stipulates, and destroy Misa with your Sword of Three Races. (Anos)
Unable to hide her shock, Misa was at a loss for words.
I wish I could explain why, but we dont have time for that. Your source could crumble and perish at any moment. So are you ready? I asked the two of them.
Lay and Misa exchanged a glance, and nodded.
I believe in you (Misa)
Lay pointed the tip of Evansmana at Misas chest.
It radiated its divine light on her, and her source disappeared, as if it was purified.
