Chapter 59 - EPILOGUE
EPILOGUE
"So, you suddenly felt like keeping in touch with me after so many years." The king of the Elven Kingdom said to a parallel image of a woman who appeared to be a bit older than her but only with a minor difference of maybe two or three years.
"Yes, after all I couldn't just forget to wish my little brother his happy birthday." The woman said cheerfully showering an unprecedented amount of love, but in no way it could have made in through the strong concrete wall of the small dome over which the communication magic was being projected…. At least not for the little brother.
"My birthday was months back. Is that all you have to say after you try to contact me. I am disappointed and it grieves me to think that the greatest legendary hero doesn't even remember the birthday of her little brother cousin. Think just how saddened your fans would be to hear this of what a failure of a sister you are." The little brother masterfully played the part of a sobbing little brother in distress. But at the same time he was also the one who when received the signal from the gem around his vast set of necklace, he quickly abandoned all work and came running in response to the call.
The True Hero, Caroline Ascalon Ashborn appeared to be counting something on her hand on the screen. She first pointed five fingers then turned it to three and then reduced it further to two and faced those towards her little brother standing on the other side of the screen.
"So, you aren't even sure of it yourself. Just subtract your age from the difference in ours and there you have it." The little brother coaxed.
"I see. So you were trying to find my own age while belittling me. Maybe I should tell Alva that you were trying to find out about other women age without any consideration."
The circuits inside the brain of the little brother, if there was one would probably be in a breakdown condition.
"What are you talking about big sister? Even if my birthday was months back, the only thing that matter is that you called and wished me happy birthday." The little brother reverted to his humble behaviour as if he was forcibly trying to put up an appearance and please her elder sister.
He just couldn't let his wife ― one of the biggest fans of the Hero know that he tried to pull a stunt or taunt her, otherwise his life would have to go through something worse than a fate of a pest filled garden. All the vegetables destroyed… its hell. He just couldn't bring himself to go through with it.
"Right." The Hero grimaced.
"Yes big sister. So, what did you wanted to talk about this time with me." And so the grace of a king fell to a mere pushover who would hunch over while rubbing hands together, constantly pandering to the every whim of his elder sister with every fiber of his being.
"I wanted to talk about my daughters as usual you know." An all too rare grin appeared on Caroline's face.
"Ah! Yeah I remember last time you went on for about two days about Lili and now I feel like I have known her from the starting of my life. It feels so strange but after that I have always felt like I knew her always so well."
"fufu…fufu… didn't you listen properly I said 'daughters'." Caroline said adding an extra effort over the word to let out that plural sense be heard even to the outside of the walls.
"Huhhhh…." Taking a deep breath the King hunched back, realizing he was in for a ride of something normal and slow he felt relieved after a long time as his head felt light and his shoulder lifted up a bit like an instant refresh magic had been casted on him, "I am all ears. I would love to know that we have a new family member."
Caroline for a moment peeked through the reflection broadcasting the video on both sides in real time, coming so close that as if she would have bumped out of the screen herself anytime if she tried to.
"What are you talking about? You don't look so fine yourself. Why don't we start by you telling me what you and your family have been doing all this time? I can't wait to hear. Specifically what has happened in the kingdom in the last two years?" Caroline again exerted herself over the last statement except that it did not have that same joyous and lighthearted ring to it.
'Don't worry things are all in the clear and settled now. But they were actually pretty bleak just a day ago, had it not been for her." The King of the elves happily reported the commencement of restoration of his kingdom and how the calamity had been subdued by her daughter and a young enigmatic human girl.
"Is that so… they most certainly seems like a person I would like to know." Caroline stared blankly in the air as she wondered who would fit the description to have the strength and astronomical amount of magical energy to summon a Great Spirit all on a whim.
"Oh! Right I haven't told her name to you just yet, it seems that she is pretty astute on keeping her real identity safe where it seems that even my appraisal skill is not qualified enough to look through the defensive mechanism of her status."
"Then it must have been pretty tough to believe in her powers." Caroline knew what could be the dangers of someone suspicious and anonymous to let in the secrets of a Royal Family.
"Well I wouldn't say that. Somehow because of the revelation from the Great Spirit we had put our faith in her but she had the same reliable air around her. Your moving habits, way of speaking almost was a perfect reflection in her."
"What are you talking about? Have you always been this observant of me?" Caroline felt suddenly chills that whether she was that easy to study.
Just when Ereg Ascalon, the king of the Ascalon Elf Kingdom was about to announce the name of the human girl to his elder sister, a force came busting in the closed doors, disregarding any and all securities in the way.
It was the human girl herself in question, followed behind by Regis and her mother Alva.
"…Mother." Alicia stared at Caroline in disbelief of finding her here, while the blue crystal in her bracelet was still glowing. Most probably the magic within was resonating with the same wavelength of broadcast magic being used inside the dome.
"Alicia." Caroline called out with a little hint of surprise and a laudable smirk. After all with the description of the girl and the absolute amount of magic power she would be the only one fitting the description in her knowledge. Then again she was surprised with the fact that she wasn't surprised seeing Alicia in the exactly opposite direction of the human continent where she should have journeyed to by now. It was simple because she just knew her that well.
While the others still could not follow up with the small exchange, they were still taking in deep breath after coming running all the way in.
Caroline took a look around and spotting her niece and the downhearted expression on her daughter's face which she would have so nicely hidden under her normal façade that no one would have even taken notice, but her. She already had a general idea of what might have been burdening her since she had already heard of the adventure they went through together.
Caroline who herself would have been through several of her own breath-taking adventures precisely understood that stuck up feeling of leaving someone they made a sort of bond with behind. Alicia was no exception to any of those rule, on the contrary it could have a much worse effect where she would have been experiencing them for the first time and being isolated in her previous life, she did not know how to face them properly or get a closure.
"Ereg, I would like to have an individual private chat with the two girls." Caroline came up with a decision of her own while everyone else still needed to fill the holes of the basket of information in their hands.
After Caroline had a final talk with Regis...
Regis walks out of the dome shaped small building situated in the corner of the royal palace's garden. It reminded Alicia of the one she had back at her home in the labyrinth.
But what concerned her most was the look on Regis's long face as it withheld her serious glare and a sad expression behind her hesitant facade. Her increased heartbeat, rapid breathing and restless movements brought everyone on edge as they wondered what could have been the contents of the discussion. Her thin eyebrows pulled up together revealing a staunch eye as she was carefully looking directly into Alicia's face, her finger pointed at her.
"Alicia, I want you to fight me in a duel."
Betraying no hints of emotion, Alicia quietly replied, "Yes."
Even this time, Regis and everyone around found that smile on her face charming and brighter than the sun. But somehow it was scarily beautiful.

¯\\\\_(ツ)_/¯ NOTICE FOR READERS ¯\\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Finally we have reached the end of volume 5 and I hope that you can wait a bit longer for the fight between Alicia and Regis. Though it was supposed to be the part of this volume, but it had already crossed the 1Lac words mark alone. So I decided to shift it to the next volume.
Also I want to inform you that this novel is available on Amazon and it would help us a lot if you can go and RATE MY BOOK there. Just type the title of the book in the amazon search and you will find it.
Thank you again for complying with my request and taking your time to rate this book.

AFTERWORD
Hello there, this is NOEL ELITIA.
It's been only a short while since the fourth volume you have hit the end of the fifth one already. Isn't that amazing?
I still consider myself new at this and trying my best that you enjoy the journey which our characters have set on. This time I tried casting an entirely new and important character. While I also narrated a fight between two other reincarnates beside our MC.
I'm not sure if this book betrayed your expectations or fulfilled them, but I'll be glad so long as you derived some amount of enjoyment from it. In my mind, this work of mine is meant to be a simple, fun read with a slant towards comedy and a romantic approach towards magical fights.
The atmosphere of this book's pretty different from other volumes, and as I'm sure many of you have noticed. Getting to know other characters and how they feel and react to our main character is something that might have not been a part of the initial volumes.
With our new character Regis under spotlight and this novel ending at a point with a duel being accepted after a long fight with a dragon, I hope that you are already prepared for the bout.
I'm not sure if you guys liked that more or less, but... As long as you enjoyed it, I'm happy.
I have also started preparing grounds for other important characters as their actions too drive the storyline further and makes the plot even more interesting.
An appearance of a new person in your life, their decisions and behaviour draws you in to learn more about them. And as that happens you could not help yourself but compare and how you can be helpful to each other in times of your needs.
///////////////////////////
VOLUME 6 : SYNOPSIS
Alicia has accepted the challenge from Regis, but is it that simple to get through Alicia and get a complete picture of how she sees this world. What Caroline actually asked Regis to do or is it she was denied something that needed this fight to happen in the first place. And what would really change with the outcome of this fight… will it actually change her mind on what she has already decided from the start.
//////////////////////////
As I'm sure those of you can already tell that I am a huge fan of isekai genre. Potent enough that after writing the fifth volume I am aiming for the sixth now. Feels almost unbelievable thinking back when we started on this journey!
The next volume featuring a heart to heart conversation between characters and our main character to have her first fight against a friend. I wonder who you would be rooting for and whether Regis has something in mind to win against Alicia or maybe not. I hope you're all looking forward to it.
Once again, I'd like to thank my readers for letting me enjoy myself all the way through.
May we meet again in the next volume of When I Got Reincarnated As A Spider With My Goddess.
