The Determined Weena Rhyn

Translated by Tods

Edited by Phantom0408

Weena Rhyn let out sorrowful words while covering her face with one hand.

?If things continue like this, Rhyn might disappear!?

?But it was Rhyn who resurrected the magic beast?

?...Huh? Rhyn did? Really...??

?Really?

?But why...??

?I don’t know?

?Well, we’d like to know about that too?

Then Fran and I told her everything that had happened at the bottom of the lake.

Zelyse tried to break the seal and we managed to stop him. But to our surprise, Rhyn resurrected the magic beast.

Weena Rhyn could not seem to believe it. She looked up at the void with a dumbfounded face.

?Rhyn has a message for you?

?!!?

?She told you to be prepared?

?...But then, that girl will...??

We’ve known each other for a while now, but I still didn’t understand Weena Rhyn and Rhyn’s relationship. When she said that “that girl”, was she referring to Rhyn? If so, they were not just ordinary acquaintances then. It seemed that they might have some kind of close relationship.

?What’s Weena Rhyn’s relation with Rhyn??

?...We are... I wonder how should I put this...?

?I’m listening?

?Well?

Weena Rhyn smiled wearily at us. She seemed to be mentally overwhelmed.

?To put it simply, we’re sisters, twins?

?Twins, even though she’s a spirit??

?Her twin is an elf. Is that possible??

As expected of a race favored by spirits. But apparently, that was not the case. Weena Rhyn was shaking her head.

?Rhyn was originally a High Elf?

Weena Rhyn then talked about the relationship between herself and Rhyn.

?Rhyn made a contract with the spirit of the lake, which had been captured by the great magic beast, and made herself one with the spirit in order to seal the great magic beast?

?She could do that??

?It must have been possible because Rhyn was one of the High Elves who particularly excelled in Spirit Magic. It was impossible for me?

By becoming one with the spirit of the lake, which had become one with the great magic beast, it meant that Rhyn had also become a part of the great magic beast.

Then, Rhyn weakened the great magic beast from within and sealed it in the center of the lake with the sealing technique she had prepared.

Weena Rhyn’s acquaintance who was said to have sealed the great magic beast was actually her twin sister, Rhyn.

?I then made a contract with Rhyn, who had become a spirit... If things were left like this, Rhyn would one day completely merge into the great magic beast and disappear?

Normally, a contract between a Spirit Magic-User and a spirit was not a contract that could be defined as assimilation.

It was more like a give and take relationship, where they worked together and lent each other power

However, Weena Rhyn’s had strong feelings for Rhyn, their unusually deep connection as they were originally twins, and the High Elves’ high affinity for spirits brought about an unexpected situation.

?You see. My name was just Weena?

?Did you change your name because you made a contract with Rhyn??

?No, you’re wrong. When I made the contract with Rhyn, our souls were fused into a single entity. As a result, we are neither Weena nor Rhyn, but a new individual under the name of Weena Rhyn?

It seemed that the base was Weena. Her memories and appearance were still that of Weena’s. But there was a definite change. Rhyn’s hobbies, tastes, and consciousness have become mixed in with Weena’s.

When someone’s spirit was assimilated into their own, a change would occur. To put it differently, it meant that they were no longer themselves.

No one would normally want that, but...

?I couldn’t help but be happy. Now we could be together forever. That’s what I thought?

As I’d expected, I still didn’t understand the way the long-lived being think. But after listening to her explanation, one thing didn’t make sense to me.

?So what about the Rhyn that we met??

?The Rhyn that I made a contract with was the Rhyn that had become one with the Spirit of the Lake and turned into a spirit herself. But there’s still half of Rhyn left inside the great magic beast?

So, you’re saying that only a small part of Rhyn who had become one with the spirit became Weena Rhyn, and the rest is still sealed inside the great magic beast?

Maybe that was why Weena’s consciousness was in charge of Weena Rhyn.

?Rhyn seems to be able to break out of the seal and materialize herself for a short time. The mysterious spirit that had been seen around the lake was probably Rhyn. She never came to see me though?

?Why??

?If the Rhyn in me and the Rhyn in the great magic beast are attracted to each other, the seal could get weaker... But I wanted to see her though...?

Weena Rhyn was strangely unstable when she talked about Rhyn. She was just like a girl who was happy and worried about her loved one.

?What did Rhyn mean when she said you have to be prepared??

?...?

?Rhyn said we’ll find out about it if we asked Weena Rhyn?

?I won’t let her do it. I’m not gonna let Rhyn disappear...!?

Weena Rhyn mumbled something for a little while, and then abruptly stood up from her chair.

?I’m going to reseal the great magic beast?

?You can??

?It was impossible before. But now I should be able to do it?

Weena Rhyn said so and rushed out. But despite her determined expression, her steps were somewhat unsteady.

?I’m going?

?But first, what do we do with the students??

?Aah, now that you mentioned them... Give them instructions to leave this town and evacuate. Fran, get the other instructors together and take care of them until they escape?

?Okay?

Weena Rhyn reacted as if she had forgotten about the students. As I thought, there must be something wrong with her right now.

However, only Weena Rhyn could seal the great magic beast. We had no choice but to leave it to her.

?Are you okay??

?Don’t worry, I’m okay?

She didn’t look okay though. But we were afraid to point that out. That was just how intense the atmosphere of the current Weena Rhyn was.

?I’ll definitely seal it?
