Reborn (2)

It just happened. I am already 5 years old, and so is Ernesto.

I can talk, walk and do a lot of things, but I can't do what Ernesto did. I can't do magic like him.

"Mom, and Dad, look at this!"

He let out a breeze in his palm. It was very proud for both of our parents. It was his umpteenth time magic, with various variations.

"Wow, that's very wonderful, my son. You are very talented in wind magic."

"Of course. He is my son."

They were proud of each other for what Ernesto did.

By the way, my parents' names are Androcles de Jansen and Cecelia de Jansen. I think that's a cool name for both my parents.

After he ended his magic, being hugged by Androcles and Cecelia, he was very happy to receive the hug.

I, who can only see that, can only play with these dolls that Androcles and Cecelia bought.

Wait! Why should I play with these dolls? I am not a female, I am a male. It's not something I should play with. I was supposed to play playing cards, pistols, and other manly toys.

"Arsenio, come here!"

Cecelia told me to come closer. She seems to understand that I am fed up with the dolls she bought.

After I approach them, I get a hug from them. It felt so warm, seemed like a happy family.

Many things happened when I was reborn. I don't know where I am right now. I don't know why I can be reborn. And, I don't know why Ernesto seems knowledgeable when he is a kid.

All I can think about is, he might as well be like me, reborn. It makes a lot of sense when you look at the figure of him with most of the kids in general. You can tell that he is very different from the average child. He is very different, even at the age of only 5 years, he already knows what adults do.

Ernesto and I, who may have also been reborn, are twins of a Noble Family named De Jansen. We are children born to Cecelia 5 years ago. It's just, we're twins, but my hair color with Ernesto is different. Ernesto has silver hair like Androcles, while I have jet black hair like Cecelia. Also, we have different traits despite being born to the same parents.

By realizing that, you can already tell that Ernesto and I are both reborn people. We are like reincarnated in this family.

I don't know if this world is the same as mine. I only know that this world has much fresher oxygen levels than my previous world. I can feel my breathing is so good. There are only two possibilities in that. First, this world does have good oxygen, and there is no air pollution caused by war everywhere. Second, I am still a baby, still pure, and I have not damaged my organs. So, that's why the air and oxygen in this world feel so incredibly fresh.

"Arsenio, may I ask you something?"

Ernesto suddenly said that while I was playing with these dolls.

"What is it?"

"Can't you do as I do?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean… Look at this!"

He showed me his magic show again. This time, the wind ball was in the palm of his hand.

"I couldn't possibly do that. I don't have the talent to be a magician like you."

"Hah? Magician? I'm not a magician."

"So what? You're a swindler, carrying a hologram in your pocket?"

"No, that's not it either. Wait a moment! You know about holograms?"

"Yeah, I know that. You know, sometimes when I want to convey my strategy, I need a hologram. Well, that's what I do so I can convey my strategy well."

"Wait!"

"Especially? You're saying that you conveyed your strategy using a hologram too? You're imitating me."

"No, that's not the problem. You know, that man, our father called Andromeda…"

"The truth is Androfil."

"Is that his real name?"

"I do not know. I'm just perfunctory."

"Anyway, forget about that man's name issue! Most importantly now, he said that... I forgot his words. Somehow when I remember him, he makes me sick."

"I agree with that."

"He's been toying with Cecelia, our mother, so damn sure, even he made me jealous because he made it to the 5th round while doing that. It's like, I want to shoot him in the head with the AMD-65."

"Yeah, I will also do the same as you. But, I'm going to use Tracking Point Guns to punch a hole in that head. Wait a moment! How did you know that he was able to do that until the 5th round?"

"I peeked at them while they were doing that."

"...So."

I looked at him with an even expression. Ernesto didn't change at all, he kept doing that. Currently, he is 5 years old, but he still dares to peek at Androcles and Cecelia doing that, intimate relationship.

"Rather than you doing that, peeking at them doing that, you better just play with these dolls. I'm sick of these dolls, but my hands move and play with these dolls on their own." I threw the teddy bear in Ernesto's face.

"Ouch..."

Even contents of the doll were made of cotton, he was still in pain—no, he must have been surprised when the doll hit his face. He must be thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked knowing that.

"You know about holograms, and you also know about assault rifles, which don't exist in this world. Could it be… you are just like me, reborn in this world?"

"Yeah, that's how it is. I have been reborn."

As I suspected, it turned out that Ernesto was indeed reborn like me.

"Could it be…" He continued with a surprised expression. "You are Bagas?"

"Yes, I am Bagas. What do you want to order?"

"Well... it turned out to be you. I am Ryuki… Ryuki from that country."

He said that, making me immediately stand up and be surprised.

"Ryuki? You're Ryuki?"

"Yeah, I'm Ryuki. Do you want peace or betrayal?"

"Of course, I want peace."

After I said that, he hugged me and was very happy, so was I. I met him again in a different world.

"Bagas, I feel something wet under me. Is it possible..."

Oh no, I wet again. I seem to need a diaper.

The two Majors, from different countries, were reunited in different worlds. They came back with their faith, wanting peace. They met and became twins. It was something beautiful for both of them. Their new life in that world had just begun. Not only humans would fight in that world, but also creatures they had never met before, including demons that made their world unpeaceful.

The two people who had the rank of Major, who came from different countries, who wanted peace, were reborn in that world and became twin brothers.

And in the future...

"Ernesto, I need your magic!"

"I'm ready to use that."

"Good."

"Let's do it, Arsenio!"

"Ah, let's do it, Ernesto."

They will fight the Demon King, to make their new world peaceful, according to what they wanted in their previous world, which they could never feel.

"Ha-chim. Ah, I've found something to turn into a diaper. I don't wet the bed from now on. This teddy bear has helped me to overcome that problem."
