Death... and me

Chapter 2999: We Need To Talk

Back then, Kentucky found a feather that held a little bit of his Father's Divine Sense and blood. The blood was used to help Kentucky while the Divine Sense warned Kentucky to never reveal his Regal Bloodline due to the danger it could attract. Kentucky and his father then talked about how Ploto-Ume had to go to the Mortal World and almost died during it. (Chapters 1720-1726)

Finally, he left Kentucky's egg on the same planet where the twins were born. The twins eventually found him and Kentucky got connected to them.

There was a problem, though. Even Jeskli-Go, one of the Divinity Realm Minokawas from Kentucky's race, didn't know where Kentucky's parents were. Minokawas that were born in the Floating Island of Time have a connection to it, so Jeskli-Go knew they were alive. But other than that, he had no more information.

Even up to the point where the twins reached the Divinity Realm together with Kentucky and Celis, Kentucky still hadn't found any information regarding his parents. It wasn't like he didn't try.

During the time the twins were in the Divinity Realm, they also had quite a few strong contacts, which means Kentucky also had them. Above all, they knew Soul Gem. They used those contacts and Soul Gem to inquire about the experts of the Lisan Universe.

Yet, no information was revealed in the end. No one knew where Ploto-Ume and Ratria-Ket could be found. The twins and Kentucky thought that perhaps the culprit was just hiding the truth, but how would they find who was lying? It would be too difficult. Still, the only thing was that Jeskli-Go insisted they were alive. That was all.

Now, Rean and Roan had somehow ended up in the Werdlem Empire, the very last place they could ever expect to find any information regarding Kentucky's parents. So... one can imagine their shock when they heard those names coming from Klifon's mother's mouth.

'No, no, no...' Roan still wasn't certain. 'Perhaps it is just someone with similar names.'

Rean found that difficulty to be the case, though. 'Then how can we have a familiar scent? We only lived with Kentucky, and Kentucky is Ploto-Ume and Ratria-Ket's chick. The familiar scent she talked about could only be related to them.'

'Fuck it! Let's ask,' Roan immediately turned to Klifon's mother. "Just answer this question. Are these Ploto-Ume and Ratria-ket Golden Crows?"

Klifon's mother shook her head. "No, they are Minokawas."

"That pretty much confirms it, then," Rean spoke. "To be honest, we don't know those two, but we do have a connection with them. How did you get to know each other?"

"I'm the one making the questions here," Klifon's mother didn't answer, though. "Tell me about this connection. That will decide whether I will make you disappear right here and right now or not."

"We understand," Rean nodded. "But first, how can we address you?"

"Oh, right. I forgot to mention my name," Klifon's mother didn't mind that question at least. "You can call me Havira."

Rean smiled. "Well then, senior Havira. The reason we have a connection with those two is because my brother and I lived with their child for a few thousand years. Since our friend is their child, I guess it makes sense you can feel the scent of Ratria-Ket and Ploto-Ume. That's the backstory."

"Their... child?" Havira pondered a bit. "So you are friends with Frife-Ni? I met him a few times before I ended up in this place."

"Frife-Ni?" Rean and Roan looked at each other. "And you met him?"

"Why do you look so surprised? If you know him, then you must have heard about me as well," Havira narrowed her eyes. Were the twins lying? That definitely didn't look good.

Rean quickly shook his head. "Truth be told, now I'm in doubt whether we are talking about the same Ratria-Ket and Ploto-Ume. You see, the ones we know have a quite special status." Havira was surprised to hear that. "By special status do you mean... ahem... visitors?"

The twins quickly caught the message. However, they didn't want to reveal much in case they were wrong. "Could you elaborate better?"

Havira immediately changed into Divine Sense Message. 'From outside the Werdlem Empire.' Havira seemed to know, so Rean did one last test. 'It starts with the letter L and finishes with the letter N. Do you know what I'm talking about?'

'Lisan? Lisan Universe?' Havira tried to confirm.

The twins quickly nodded. 'Then we are indeed talking about the same Minokawas.' Rean continued from there. 'Ratria and Ploto indeed have a child, but unless you had been to Lisan Universe, I can't see how you managed to meet him. He was born with and never had the chance to meet his parents. Besides, his name definitely isn't Frife-Ni.'

'Never met his parents? Not Frife-Ni?' Havira wasn't an idiot. She quickly understood that although they were talking about the same Minokawas, they were talking about different children. 'So... Frife-Ni has a brother...?'

'We are as surprised as you,' Rean sighed. 'Senior, I will tell you everything I know about our friend, Kentucky, including what we know about his parents.'

Through his Spiritual Sense, Rean shared all of Kentucky's history. Of course, he never mentioned anything related to the system, their soul connection, and things like that. Nonetheless, he did mention how Ratria and Ploto disappeared after sending Kentucky to the Mortal Realm, his meeting with his father's Divine sense, and how no one knew where Kentucky's parents had gone.

Havira heard all of that and was impressed. 'So you two also came from outside Werdlem... Still, Ratria and Ploto had never mentioned having another child. Ratria laid another egg here in the Werdlem Empire, which was Frife-Ni. Considering she is a Divine Demon Beast, that is already very difficulty to happen, and now I heard she had done that before. She is quite lucky...'

'Do you believe us?' Rean decided to probe.

Surprisingly, Havira nodded. 'Other than a few close friends and me, no one else knows Ploto- Ume and Ratria-Ket are outsiders, especially some human duo. In fact, not even Frife-Ni is aware of this. We need to talk.'
