That Time Hori And Miyamura Got Reincarnated In Another World (COMPLETED)

Epilogue: The Legacy Lives On

Hundreds of years had passed since Hori and Miyamura ruled over Tempest. Their descendants had continued their legacy, rulling wisely and with compassion. Now, a new heir had been chosen - an eight-year-old boy named Ren, who bore the unmistakable strength and grace of his ancestors. The people of Tempest had high hopes for him, believing he would one day become a great king, just like Hori and Miyamura.

But Ren, despite his young age, felt overwhelmed. One evening, as the sun began to set, he sat alone in the vast field behind the castle, staring at the horizon. He was weighed down by the expectations placed on him, unsure if he could live up to the greatness of those who came before him. His small hands clenched into fists as he sighed deeply.

"I don't know if I'm strong enough..." Ren whispered to himself, his voice carried away by the soft wind. He hung his head low, feeling the pressure of the kingdom's hopes on his tiny shoulders.

Suddenly, a gentle hand rested on his shoulder. Ren froze, his heart skipping a beat. He slowly turned around and saw two figures standing before him, radiating a soft, comforting light. His eyes widened in disbelief.

It was Hori and Miyamura, looking just as they did in the legends - young, vibrant, and full of life. Hori's dark purple hair with pink highlights flowed gracefully, her red eyes warm and kind. Miyamura's silver hair with blue highlights shimmered under the setting sun, his yellow eyes filled with understanding. They stood side by side, holding hands, a familiar sight to those who had heard the stories of their deep bond.

"Y-You're...," Ren stammered, his voice trembling, "You're Hori and Miyamura... the first rulers and founders of Tempest."

Hori smiled gently and knelt down beside him, brushing a strand of hair from his face. "Yes, Ren. We've come to see you."

Miyamura crouched down as well, placing a reassuring hand on Ren's other shoulder. "We've heard your heart, Ren. You're worried, aren't you? About becoming the next king?"

Ren's lip quivered as he nodded. "Everyone expects so much from me... I'm scared I'll disappoint them. How could I ever live up to the two of you?"

Hori chuckled softly, shaking her head. "We didn't become rulers overnight, Ren. We had help from our friends, we made mistakes, and we learned. It's not about being perfect."

Miyamura added, "It's about growing, learning from your experiences, and believing in yourself. You'll find your way, just like we did."

Ren looked up at them, tears forming in his eyes. "But what if I'm not strong enough?"

Hori smiled warmly. "You already are. Strength isn't just about power - it's about your heart, your will to keep moving forward."

Miyamura nodded. "And you're never alone, Ren. Your family, your friends, they'll always be there for you, just like ours were for us."

Feeling a surge of warmth and hope, Ren wiped his tears. "Can... can you teach me something? Help me become stronger?"

Hori and Miyamura exchanged a glance and smiled. "Of course," they said in unison.

For the next few minutes, they trained Ren, teaching him techniques passed down through the generations. Hori guided him with patience, showing him how to focus his energy, while Miyamura taught him how to channel his emotions into strength. Ren, despite his initial doubts, found himself improving under their guidance, his confidence growing with every move.

After what felt like both a fleeting moment and an eternity, the training came to an end. Hori ruffled Ren's hair affectionately, and Miyamura patted him on the back.

"You'll be a great king one day," Miyamura said, his voice full of pride.

Ren looked up at them, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. "Thank you... for everything."

Hori and Miyamura stood up, holding each other's hands. The sun was setting behind them, casting a golden glow over the field. "It's time for us to go, Ren," Hori said softly, her eyes filled with warmth.

"No! Don't go!" Ren cried out, reaching for them. But before he could stop them, they smiled at each other, and with a final loving glance at Ren, they vanished with the wind, leaving behind only the memory of their presence.

Ren stood there, feeling the wind against his face, but instead of sadness, he felt hope. Their words, their guidance, and their belief in him filled his heart with determination. He looked at the sunset, remembering their smiles, and vowed to live up to their legacy.

Years passed, and on Ren's 25th birthday, he was crowned the new King of Tempest. The people cheered for him, their hopes fulfilled, as he stood proudly before them. That night, after the celebration, Ren stood alone in the grand hall, gazing up at a portrait of Hori and Miyamura. Their painted smiles looked down upon him, eternal and comforting.

"Thank you," Ren whispered, bowing his head. "For everything."

Far away, in the afterlife, Hori and Miyamura stood together, watching over Ren with proud smiles. "We do this for every future ruler of Tempest," Miyamura said, wrapping an arm around Hori's shoulders.

Hori nodded, resting her head on his shoulder. "And every time, it feels like we're leaving behind a part of us that will continue to grow."

They stood in peaceful silence for a moment, before walking off together, hand in hand, side by side, into the endless fields of the afterlife, their journey together never truly ending.

Thus, the legacy of Hori and Miyamura lived on, not just through their descendants, but in the hearts of everyone who carried their story - a story of love, strength, and an unbreakable bond that transcended time itself.
