Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 186 Reunion

The light was bright, and this was different from when we used the one in the city center.

This warp gate had its own 'point' and right now, it was working as the receiving end of the gate, just like the magic circle in the garden we were fallen to.

This was a pretty impressive mechanism, but I wasn't focused on that one.

Right now, my heart was beating faster and my eyes were just fixed on the blue vortex that had appeared at the hollow part of the gate.

I wasn't feeling tense, but there were countless thoughts on my mind right now.

Things were going to be lively in this place pretty soon and the crowd was gonna increase a lot.

I wanted to see them again, talk with them while being with them, and cry the tears that were still fresh at the ends of my eyes.

I wanted to do those things, and I was going to do them right now.

Just a moment. Just a little longer.

They will be here, in this place, with me, and I will finally...

My train of thoughts was running at a speed I couldn't even understand and this moment, this time right now was just getting stretched like never before.

Every passing moment was slow, and this time was just... never ending but... I could wait.

I have waited for six years, and these endless moments were nothing to me.

Things will be different soon.

I will be with them again.

And while I was on this endless train, the process finished and as soon as that happened, a figure ran out of the blue vortex and ran toward me.

I was still in that blank state, thinking about what was going on or what I will do but, as soon as this figure, this female figure ran out of there, I knew... the wait was over.

I just stood there as she embraced me with her presence that I could never forget and... I hugged her back with tear-filled eyes.

Her grip was firm, and she didn't want to let me go now that I was with her.

And I was the same.

I could feel her tears and the happiness, sorrow, and anger from her.

She was like this even after talking with me not long ago, but... it was also a fact that I was hugging her; we were with each other, and I was back after six years.

This was no small time for us and the way they loved me... I knew just how they were feeling.

She had kept her promise to me and she had done everything within her power to be happy and keep our family happy.

I had the gist of how things had been all this time, though I knew nothing outside of what happened inside the family.

These worrying adults never talked about how things had been to them outside the family affairs like how mom worked in her guild or how things were in the empire.

I didn't know, but I knew I will know those things with time.

For now... I wanted to just hug her like this and stay like this for a little longer.

And she wasn't the only one that was gonna hug me like this.

Another one ran out of the gate with others and hugged both of us with more tears than both of us.

Others walked out of the gate, but they just stood there without saying anything.

The three of us just stayed like this and I could see how things were going with the rest of my family with my third eye.

Everyone was just looking at us silently, understanding the special circumstances we were in.

Even my dear little Anna was looking at the three of us lovingly for a while, but she then asked grandpa to put her down.

She was also one that was there with us on that day, though she wouldn't actually know that she had also lost her big brother that day.

Rein had shiny eyes while looking at her, the common reaction anyone would have while looking at this cutest thing in the world.

And she was wearing a pink ribbon dress today with a little hat... that was soul soothing in itself.

But Rein didn't only have reverence for Anna in her eyes.

She also felt sorry for us... for me mostly, and I could feel her even while in this chaotic train of thoughts.

That girl... she was something else.

Anna walked to us with her little feet, she will be six this year so that was also something I was looking forward to.

She was a little angel, just average for her age.

And she was just adorable.

She stood on my right side where there was some space between mom and dad and I lifted my hand for her to come into this family hug.

This was our reunion, the best one I could hope for.

Anna smiled at me and patted my back to comfort me and hugged the three of us.

She wasn't crying right now even while knowing every single one of our emotions.

She was my dear little sister while my other little one was watching us with star-filled eyes.

When she looked at all four of us like this... what would it look like in her eyes?

I knew it was definitely something amazing, but I knew she will tell me later.

But for now... I wanted to just have this moment.

Both of them looked the same I knew from some months ago and everyone else, too.

My two lovely aunts looked lovingly at us and my two uncles were the same.

My first uncle and second aunt were crying without restraint and their spouses were patting their backs with helpless smiles.

The two cousins of mine... I knew they were eager, but this was now just pure rivalry.

They both had a fire burning in their eyes, a fire that wanted to just have a go right here and now.

But thankfully they were waiting while also having cheerful smiles on their faces.

These two never doubted I was alive or not... I had to be alive for them.

And they prayed for me to be with them as soon as possible.

And these two... I didn't need my eyes to see just how strong they were right now.

They were practically unreal in their fields.

Carla... was almost a [Rank-4] while that little Alf was (tier-3) already, even while having four elemental affinities.

The fight will wait but, I really admired them to harness this much strength in that short time.

Like... Rein and I were special cases that didn't have a common logic but, these two were just pure born geniuses.

And when I looked at them, I understood just how unfair this world can be just in terms of talent.

These two siblings of mine... and also Anna, were truly amazing ones.

My grandpa and grandma were also here, looking at not just us but everyone, including Rein's family, with a warm smile.

Our grandparents nodded at each other with a smile and grandpa and grandma looked at Rein with a different smiles.

And then at each other, talking with their eyes just like her grandparents.

Was talking with gazes a thing between couples here?

Well, I will know when we-

Hmmm, this was good. They were here. I was with them.

Master... I am finally with them.

I couldn't begin to express my thoughts much more than the feelings of this moment and... I just wanted to stay like this.

Just a little longer...
