"Co again?" Elaina felt like she was hearing wrong and thought that what Adelaide was saying did not register completely in her mind.
"I said I am a reincarnator. Soone who lived in the past, died, and has been reborn to a new individual...but I retained my mories of the past life. That’s ," Adelaide explained.
"Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that my daughter rembers her past life and you are born once again?"
"Yes. You might say that I am older than you, Mom. However, I don’t care about ages right now because you are still my mother and that doesn’t change a thing."
"But...why are you telling this?" Elaina asked. She still can’t believe that her daughter has a hidden past like that.
"It’s about your son and my twin."
"Wait, wait...don’t tell he is also a reincarnator?!" Elaina tried to guess first.
Adelaide chuckled. "Hahaha, if Arthur was actually a reincarnator, both of us would be speaking more fluently than before. Though, I can’t say Arthur is normal. My sibling is quite talented to the point that I have to reveal my identity as a reincarnator just so I can give you context on how he is this talented."
Elaina at first was a bit bewildered by the revelation. But she is open-minded on various things and since it is her daughter she is currently speaking with, she decided to believe her. And it seems that she does have a more adult deanor than she thought she would be. She is still the sa daughter she knows...but is more mature and her behavior is sothing that she would only be seeing once Adelaide has grown up to be a teenager. But seeing it while she is still barely 2 years old? That is sothing else.
"I know it is hard to believe Mother, but I hope you understand. And no, if you think I will be leaving because I rembered my past life, don’t worry about it. My past life is so distant in the past that I should start anew and enjoy my new life instead of clinging to what happened in the past. Treat like your daughter as you always have."
"Well, can you bla ? Revealing yourself to accurately rember your past is sothing that I only read in the records, but to hear it from you directly, is sothing I wouldn’t expect to know."
"I agree. But Mom, aren’t you curious about my past? About who I am and what are my deeds?"
Elaina shook her head. "You might be soone of great stature back then, but I don’t really care if you don’t share it with or not. It doesn’t change the fact that you are still my daughter. Of course, if you want to call you by your old na, I can also-"
"N-no. Don’t do that. I would rather have my new na now than my old na. I like my new na now, compared to before. Ahem...so anyways, I revealed my status as a reincarnator to reveal the peculiarities of my twin sibling."
"You said he isn’t a reincarnator but he is peculiar?" Elaina frowned.
"Yes. Although it would look like he is peculiar to other people who do not understand him, I hope that you won’t treat him like a weirdo. He has great talents that I recognize back in my past life. I don’t know if people still recognize the talents my brother has but in case these talents have faded over ti, I would like to explain things right now."
True. There are indeed various things that have been forgotten over ti. Dozens or even thousands of things have beco forgotten relics of the past and most records that one can find those things are from things like old books that existed during those tis, detailing those old stuff that are forgotten. So, if those old things manifest again in the new world, it would just end up like they have discovered sothing new when it was actually just a forgotten thing that has been rediscovered.
"Alright, let’s hear it. I hope that it wasn’t too weird that would drastically change his life like becoming a hero or sothing. I still wanted him to grow a normal life just like a normal kid."
"It’s nothing major that would change his life, Mom. But would be very helpful in the future especially if my brother wanted to beco a businessman or sothing. As you can see, Arthur can Auto-Translate."
"Auto-translate? You an transcribing a language and converting it to a language that everyone can understand?"
Adelaide nodded. "Yes. He has this built in his mind right now. All language that he hears will be automatically translated into his mind, allowing him to understand what he is talking about. I don’t understand what the rmaid was saying because she speaks a language I am not able to understand but for Arthur, he understands her completely and was able to understand a few of her words. But since the ability is still currently only possible in one way at the mont, only Arthur can understand her and the rmaid will remain oblivious. I didn’t know he had this talent but I decided to test him by speaking a language I know in my past life and confird that it was indeed a case."
"Wait, you said "for now", does that an it can improve?"
"Yes. If the person with this talent becos more adept, he or she can use this to also converse with that person using his own language but once he speaks, the language of the person he is currently speaking with will be applied, allowing the two to speak naturally to one another. See what I an?"
Elaina nodded in agreent. She has encountered people who don’t understand their language especially those who have a different race, which results in problems and a need for a translator just so one can understand one another. If Arthur develops that in the future, he will have no problem talking with others even if he didn’t learn the language himself. He can use his talent and speak with others easily. It might not be related to combat skills, but a talent like this can stop wars. Good communication can also lead to good and friendly talk without misunderstanding one another. And for Arthur to have that, no wonder even Adelaide decided to talk about her secret so that she could easily discuss this matter with her.
"Ade, are you going to tell the others about this secret of yours? Or is it just for now?" Elaina asked.
"Can we keep it between us for now, Mom?" Adelaide pleaded and then Elaina responded with a smile.
"That’s good to know. It’s best to keep your identity a secret for now, even with Julia, the Witch herself, or the others. Maybe you can tell your brother, but I guess he is still too young to understand. Anyways, the less people know that you rember your past life, the better it is."
Elaina then hugged Adelaide. "Just tell if you have any problems alright? Even if you have revealed yourself as soone who should be technically older than , doesn’t change the fact that you are still my daughter. So don’t worry and rely on your mother more if you need it."
The words from Elaina’s mouth are sothing that Adelaide has not heard in her entire life, not even in her past life. For soone who grew up in a household that does not care for their children, she is blessed to be born to a caring mother. And even when she revealed her true nature, she didn’t flinch or even doubt her. Instead, she remained the sa and didn’t think of her as so weird child.
And so, that day, even though she is still a small child, she will dedicate her current life to her mother and make sure she will remain happy and safe.

Elaina and Adelaide continued to talk for a while, discussing what Arthur understood from the rmaid’s words. This allowed Elaina to gain an understanding of the situation and piece a few clues on why the rmaid was wounded before and why she was left to die on the ocean. In short, the rmaid would not be safe even if she were returned to the ocean. If her parents were actually killed by soone and she witnessed it before she fled, that must an that the survival of her parents is slim.
So the only logical way for the rmaid is to remain here and adapt to human life. However, the rmaid is a different species than a human, one, she has a tail, and two, that tail cannot be converted into legs in any way shape, or form which will result in the third problem which is the limited areas she can remain.
"Mom, are you going to adopt her?" Adelaide asked.
"Actually, I don’t like the sound of adopting her. We still didn’t know if her parents survived so I don’t want to take her in just because I pity her but I will apply as her guardian instead. That way, once she grows old and she now understands her circumstances and she does not like to treat as her mother, then she will not have any problems leaving. Our only problem is how to hide the fact that she is a rmaid? Her tail is too inconspicuous to just hide."
"I see. I have a suggestion, Mother. A way that will help her transition to beco a human without fully transforming into a real human and allowing her to return to a rmaid anyti she wants. But Mom has to help as I am still incapable with this body of mine and things might have changed by then."
Elaina’s eyes lit up, if that is the case, then perhaps there is still hope for the rmaid to live normally.
