Reincarnated of the Two Idol [ Idolish7 ]

CHAPTER 21

Mission complete

At Hoki-ji temple, the sun shone brightly, casting a radiant glow on the pristine white snow. A young man with flowing white hair and silver eyes sat perched on a sturdy sakura tree branch, dressed in an elegant white Haori Hakama kimono.

The sakura tree, still devoid of blossoms, stood tall, its branches adorned with a delicate dusting of snow. Despite the winter chill, the temple remained a popular destination for tourists. As the young man gazed at the sky and surveyed his surroundings, he couldn't help but remark, "It seems like the winter season is coming to an end..."

"Ah, another visitor approaches," he mused, noticing a car pulling into the parking lot.

Naoki and his family stepped out of the car and made their way towards the torii gate. They observed a handful of tourists exploring the temple grounds. As they approached the main temple, Tenn and Riku's eyes were drawn to a magnificent tree blanketed in snow near the temple's side wall. Little did they know, the young man seated on one of its branches was a tree spirit. Yoh, noticing the twins' fascination, inquired, "What's the matter?"

Tenn: "Oh, it's nothing..."

Yoh: "I see... Well, why don't you both hold my hand? I'm worried you might slip and fall."

Riku: "Okay, Yoh nii-nii..."

Yoh held Tenn and Riku's hands and said, "Alright then, let's go into the temple together. Mom and Dad are waiting for us."

As they walked towards the temple, Tenn communicated with Riku telepathically, "I think we've found Yggdra-san child, Riku..."

Riku: "Yeah... That young man sitting on the tree branch has the same hair color as Yggdra-san."

Tenn: "We need to find a way to get closer to the tree..."

Riku: "How?"

Tenn: "We'll figure it out later..."

After half an hour, Tenn, Riku, and their family, including Yoh, Rachy, and Naoki, were still exploring inside the temple, listening to the temple guide explain its historical significance. As they were about to enter another room to see a Buddhist statue, a guest approached Naoki and Rachy. It turned out to be one of Naoki's high school classmates, along with his wife and child. The child happened to be Yoh's classmate as well. Yoh and his friend wandered around the temple, admiring the historical statues, while Naoki and Rachy caught up with their old friends.

Meanwhile, Tenn saw an opportunity to sneak away and telepathically told Riku, "Now's our chance, Riku..."

Riku: "Hmm... Should we tell Mom first?"

Tenn: "You're right... Let's inform Mom first."

Tenn and Riku approached Rachy and asked if they could step outside the temple and wait by the sakura tree. Rachy started to worry about the twins going out alone. Naoki's friend, Hiroshi, reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, we can ask the monk to keep an eye on them while they sit under the sakura tree."

Rachy: "I see... Tenn-chan, Riku-chan, are you sure you want to go play by the sakura tree?"

Tenn and Riku replied, "Yes, Mommy... Please... We promise to behave while we wait there..."

Naoki walked over to Rachy and said, "Don't worry, I already asked the monk to watch over them while they play under the sakura tree..."

Rachy: "But Nao... The weather was still a bit cold."

Naoki: "Don't worry. They were wearing thick winter clothes, right? Let them play outside for a bit. The staff will look after them."

Rachy sighed and replied: "Okay... Tenn-chan, Riku-chan, don't run out onto the road, okay?"

Tenn and Riku: "Okay, mommy."

The children, Tenn and Riku, accompanied the monk to the spirit tree outside the temple. As the monk left them to play by the tree and attended to clearing snow, the young man they sought was nowhere to be seen. Startled, Tenn and Riku found the young man suddenly behind them..

"Are you two looking for me?"

Tenn and Riku were surprised to see someone suddenly appear behind them.

Tenn: "Ahh! F**k!! You scared us!"

"Hey! You're still a kids, and children are not supposed to say that word. Where did you learn it from?"

Tenn: .......

"Kids should learn good things you know....."

Riku: "Ermm... Oh! How did you know we were looking for you?"

"Sorry for scaring you two... I know you two have special abilities as well. When you two walked through the torii gate, I already sensed it."

Riku: "Oh, I see... I forgot to introduce ourselves. I'm Riku, and this is my eldest twin brother, Tenn."

Tenn: "Nice to meet you. And your name?"

"My name is Inka, but humans call me Saku."

Riku: "Then we'll just use your real name, Inka-san."

Inka: "As you like... Anyway, why are you two looking for me?"

Tenn: "Well, you see, we were searching for you, and we have something to give to you too."

Tenn explained their search and presented a photo of Yggdra, elaborating on her quest to find her child. Inka was surprised and delighted to learn of his mother's well-being at the hot spring Inn.

Inka gazed at the photograph with a smile, "It's good to hear that my mom is doing fine."

Inka requested, "I need both of you to help me take a photo of myself and deliver it to my mother. Please, tell her that I am doing well here."

Riku assured, "Sure, we can take your photo later and deliver it to Yggdra-san."

Expressing his gratitude, Inka replied, "Thank you. I really wish I could meet her. However, I am unable to leave this place. Before you both arrived, I often wondered why my mom planted her seeds so far away from her. It would have been wonderful if they were closer to her."

Tenn offered an explanation, "Perhaps Yggdra-san wanted her seed to grow in a nurturing environment. She wanted you to blossom beautifully even without her physical presence. Now that she no longer sees her cherry blossom tree bloom, you are the next generation to continue blooming beautifully."

Riku added, "Tenn's words are wise. I am certain that Yggdra-san would be proud of you, Inka-san."

Inka smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you both so much..."

Inka then requested, "Please hand this photo to my mother for me. I will enchant this tree branch to bloom into soft pink and white Sakura flowers as a gift for her." He then handed the enchanted branch to Riku. Shortly after, the twins' parents and Yoh emerged from the temple and made their way towards the sakura tree where the twins were seated.

Tenn and Riku bid farewell to Inka, promising to visit him again in the future when they were older. As they said their goodbyes, they rushed back to their parents, ready to return to the hot spring inn.

Upon their return to the inn in the evening, Tenn and Riku felt a sense of enchantment as they entered. Time seemed to stand still as Yggdra appeared before them, eager to know if they had found her child.

Tenn handed over the photo and the sakura branch to Yggdra. As she looked at the photo, tears welled up in her eyes. The image showed a young man standing near the sakura tree. Yggdra expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for helping me reunite with my child."

Riku shared, "His sakura tree is located next to the temple. His name is Inka, and he asked us to deliver a message to you, Yggdra-san."

Tenn added, "He assured us that he is well cared for by the people at the temple. Although he wishes to meet you, he cannot leave his current place. He wanted us to give you this sakura branch so you will always remember him."

Riku concluded, "He also sends his wishes for your well-being, Yggdra-san."

Yggdra expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, dear child, for your help. I am truly indebted to you. It is time for you to return to your family. Rest well."

With a smile, Yggdra thanked Tenn and Riku as the surroundings returned to normal, and they were back in the present moment. Tenn and Riku felt a sense of joy for assisting the tree spirit. They quickly caught up with their parents and headed to their room.

A few days later, as the holiday drew to a close, they prepared to leave for Tokyo and make arrangements for their return to the UK the following month.
