Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 641 - Hope Is Never Lost

-----

Three months have passed since the defeat of the Demon God King, as a little girl made entirely out of white light walked across the vast white palace within Alfheim.

She rushed into a large room, where many kids were playing around with all sorts of toys, practicing magic, and more.

The adorable little girl smiled as she rushed towards her friends, she looked to be around 6 years of age, and her entire body was made of white and yellow light, with a long ethereal hair reaching to her knees, and eyes that seemed to be stars.

"Violet! Violet!"

"Huh? Ah! Aura! Did you had breakfast?"

A cute pink-furred squirrel-kin girl greeted her, as she was practicing magic incantations.

"No! Let's go eat together!" she said.

"Hehe, sure!"

Violet held the hand of this little girl, as the two walked across the corridors, reaching a large hall where they picked up some pastries and freshly served tea by a Skeleton Butler, and began to eat while sitting over large chairs that let their little legs hanging down.

"Violet, look what I learned to do!" the little girl said, as she conjured her light magic and generated a bright unicorn made of light, which rushed around the air.

"Woow… So cool!" said Violet, her eyes shining brightly.

"Hehe, mama Veronica and papa Ervas taught me how to do it!" said Aura.

"Look, I can do this!"

Violet raised her little chocolate-skinned hands and generated a bright pink light, a beautiful butterfly came out of it, flapping its wings around the unicorn flying in the air. It was a beautiful sight…

As the two girls had fun, Veronica and Ervas looked over them through their augmented senses.

"Aura has developed greatly…" said Ervas.

"To think that she's Bestellen…" sighed Veronica.

"I can't believe it either. But his Ego got destroyed when the Demon God King ate him, so we had to repropose his leftover soul and reform him anew…" said Ervas.

"Was she becoming a little girl part of your idea?" asked Veronica.

"Eh?! No… It just happened." Said Ervas.

"I see…" said Veronica.

"She is a strong Light Goddess, and will develop even stronger in the future, as the pilar of light of this world, her role is quite important." Said Ervas.

"Indeed… I am glad she's having fun with little Violet…" said Veronica.

"It has only been three months since then but… It felt like it was yesterday." Sighed Ervas.

"Aurora…" sighed Veronica.

"Sigh… I like to believe that she lives as Violet now…" said Ervas.

"Oh… Maybe…" said Veronica.

The split souls looked down at the girls play around, as they quickly went back to their work.

Meanwhile, the little girls ended having breakfast, as they rushed outside the dinning hall, the Skeleton Butler quickly began to clean the things left in the table.

"Come, let's go to my room! I have a lot of toys and magic tools!" said Violet.

"Nice! Do you have any wands?" asked Aura.

"Yeah! I have tons!"

The little girls rushed inside of Violet's room, as they entered inside.

Violet's room was a little mess, with things spread everywhere, books, wands, toys, anything.

"Here… this is my secret vault! I haven't opened it in… a long time…" she muttered.

Aura saw as Violet took out a wooden box, suddenly realizing that Violet's energetic behavior suddenly slowed down as she looked at the vault sorrowfully.

On it, there were various paintings, one of them was made by Aurora, a three butterflies, one big, another medium-sized, and the other small…

Violet caressed this painting, as she looked at it lovingly…

"Violet?"

"Ah! A-Anyways, look here."

Violet opened the vault, as Aura's eyes shone brighter than they already were, she began to grab all sorts of things from within it, wands, magic books, and even a strange black horn, red jewels, purple jewels, and… what seemed to be red jam inside a bottle.

"Oh, this is so weird! What are these things? Magic materials?"

"I think so… T-They're things mommy gave to me to make special items… But at the end, I saved them…" she sighed.

Aura knew who Violet was talking about, as she decided to respectfully leave the things inside the vault.

"S-Sorry, I didn't know…" she said.

"Don't worry… It's fine." Said Violet, smiling back.

Aura smiled cutely, as she grabbed a pink wand and began to infuse mana on it, flashing light came out in the form of hearts, it was very cute.

"That's a magical girl wand! Mama always said that they were very popular from where she came from." Said Violet.

"Oooh! So cool!" said Aura, as she infused more mana into it, a sudden flash of light covered her body and then, she was covered in a beautiful pink dress!

"FWEH?!"

"Ooooh! So cute!" said Violet, looking at Aura wearing the dress. It had a lot of frills and heart-shaped decorations stuck around, like pins and more. It emanated a strong presence.

"That's a special item, I think it makes you be able to become a Magical Girl…" said Violet.

"Really? So cute… Do I look nice as one?" asked Aura.

"Yeah, you look super pretty, Aura!" said Violet.

"Hehe… T-Thanks…" said Aura, blushing a bit.

As the two girls played pretending to be magical girls, the remains of Aurora suddenly began to…

Move.

As if trembling, they began to move over the floor.

The black horn, the red and purple jewels, and the slime trapped inside the bottle, which quickly escaped out of it and sneaked into the floor, absorbing the other materials. It suddenly gained a tiny black horn and jewels floating inside, acting as cores.

The slime looked around curiously. It seemed to lack any memories, and was like a newborn being…

However, within it, a flashing fragment of soul slowly grew larger…

Violet looked at the vault as she suddenly was greeted by this strange little slime.

"EH?!"

"Buu!"

The slime extended its red tentacle, patting Violet's head.

Violet quickly realized what this was…

"A-Aahh… I-It can't be…"

She grabbed it and rushed outside.

"S-Sorry Aura, I have to go!"

"Eh? I'll go with you!"

The two little girls rushed through the corridors as they carried the slime with them.

They ran and ran around the vast palace, until they reached the outside.

There was a graveyard, where many of those that died and could not be revived were honored and remembered for eternity.

Within them, there was a large shrine, with a small butterfly painting on it.

Violet rushed towards it, as she used her abilities, expanding large flesh tentacles and throwing away all the rubble, finding what was down there.

"Mama…"

Violet looked at the sleeping corpse of Aurora, as she slowly carried it outside of it.

"V-Violet, what are you doing?!" asked Aura in surprise.

"I-I don't know! I just… I want to bet on it…" she cried, as she let the slime go, which jumped straight over Aurora's body.

It jumped over it and began to rub its little tentacles over the white skin.

"Buu?" it asked curiously.

Nothing happened…

"Nothing?" she asked.

"Buu…"

"Come on… D-Do something! I thought I… I thought it was… I… Sniff…"

Violet began to cry desperately, grabbing her mother's body hand tightly, as Aura hugged her.

"Violet…"

"Uwaaah! I just want mama to come back…! It hurts… It hurt so much…!" cried Violet. As Aura hugged her tighter.

"Violet, you have to be strong! For… For your mom… I bet she wanted you to look forward…" cried Aura.

Violet sorrowful eyes looked at Aura's bright starlight eyes.

"Sniff… Y-You're right…"

"See? No matter what, you always have to look straight in front of you!" said Aura, smiling cutely.

"Aura… Eh? Where did it go?"

Violet tried to look for the slime, but it was gone.

"I-I don't know, it was there just now…"

The two little girls looked around everywhere…

And as they looked.

The body of Aurora…

Her left hand fingers.

They suddenly twitched.

The slime merged into her corpse and infused itself completely into her original body.

The little soul fragment grew larger as it absorbed energy from the environment, and then, it reached the brain, which was still fresh.

FLASH!

A rush of stored memories merged with the little soul fragment. Of everything that had happened until the moment before her death.

Aurora's eyes opened wide.

"Ah… I… I am back?!"

Violet and Aura looked at the corpse slowly sit over the floor.

Violet covered her face, crying desperately.

"M-Mom?"
