What is a home?
Jaune Arc for so long have thought that he has found one but living a second life complicates one philosophy.
Especially meeting someone from that world… his old world.
Jaune pondered on these things while sitting by a garden back in the Vatican HQ. His mission finished. His paperwork was submitted. Now he is just waiting for orders.
Writing the paperwork was… difficult in a sense, not the number of things to be submitted, but rather the retelling of his fight with Adam.
Everything felt familiar. Everything brought memories. Everything brought longing.
As an old man in a teenager's body, he was more or less in peace and treated his new life as a 'second round' in life. But confirming another one is here with him, it brought up questions.
Is Strada really Port?
How many crossed the world?
Is Sun, Sun the Monkey Buddha now?
What if my enemies are here?
WHY AM I HERE?
"Hey." Jaune snapped out of his deep thinking when someone called him. He turns to the one calling him and found Lint.
Lint… looked beautiful in her own way with her oversized hoodie and shorts. Unlike the girls in this world, her appearance is only the one that seems 'normal' by Remnant standards with reasonable curves, and a bust same as Ruby's at her prime. The only unique about her is her eyes which slightly look like that of a dragon, most probably from her Sigurd genes, and her… thighs.
Like, why the hell is her thighs shiny as if it was polished wood?
"You are staring again," Lint spoke playfully slapping his cheek softly.
Normally her dragon's gaze and playful tone make her upbeat, but surprisingly she is gentle as she sat beside Jaune; slightly leaning on his shoulders and pressing her legs to his.
They both sat in comfortable silence, as Jaune tried to distract himself with the comfort Lint provided.
"Jeanne told me what happened." Lint spoke, "said you looked like a battle junkie for a moment~"
Jaune smiled as he recalled the thrill he experienced when facing Adam, but then it vanished as the longing for his last world returned.
"Wanna talk about~" Lint asked softly with his playful tone.
"…yeah." Jaune said without thinking, "but I doubt you will believe me…"
Jaune felt anxiety about his sudden honesty, but suddenly felt a hand hold his… he felt the callouses on it rub against his and with a gently squeeze brought reassurance.
"Jaune… you are an anomaly to everyone but look at me." Lint said as he brought Jaune to look at her, again, he said the gaze of a dragon, but it was full of compassion and softness, "I am a living and walking result of an experiment against Human Rights, expected to die early and solely used to wield Demonic Swords from the Norse. If there is anything you say is outright crazy, we all accepted that no one in our circle is normal."
Jaune held the hand cupping his cheeking and began his tale…
"Once Upon a Time, a boy stole his family heirloom, commissioned some fake transcripts, and applied for an 'Ivy League' school… for Huntsman"
And so he began his tale…
…him puking on Yang's shoes. The Initiation. His bully turned friend. His best friend who could have been more…
…the attack… the journey… the blood… the nightmares… the Fall.
The War
The Peace.
…then his peace.
Summer, Adrian, Mulan.
To the slap Sister, Gresilda gave him which woke him up.
Once done telling his story, he was expecting some rebuttal or any violent reaction.
"So, I am into old men?"
But was brought back by her reaction.
Lint just chuckled as she cupped his cheek again, "yes, Jaune… I do."
Jaune sighed before giving her a flat stare, "I know, you know…"
"Sorry."
"I know that you have feelings for me…"
Silence occupied the garden
"…so…SO WHY DIDN'T YOU RESPOND TO MY SIGNALS!"
"OKAY IN MY DEFENSE, YOU ARE A NUN! SECONDLY, HOW CAN I STOMACH MYSELF THAT I AM SHARING BACK MY FEELINGS TO A GIRL DECADES YOUNGER THAN ME!"
"…wait, sharing back?"
"Yes, Lint… I like you too."
The pale face of Lint lit up with scarlet red before a shit-eating grin appear. She turned and covered her face with the sleeves of her hoodie, "so…?"
"Lint, I am 105 years old right now…"
"Oh c'mon you, big baby! As if the supernatural never have such an age gap."
"You are a nun…"
"Doesn't that make it spicier~"
Jaune couldn't reply to that as he stared at her bedroom eyes, before getting back to the topic.
"You are treating this information very well…"
"Jaune. The Dimensional Gap and the concept of Reincarnation exist… I can just make some hypothetical conclusion to accept why you are here and how possible your story is."
"Lint, I come from a different world…"
"So is the Nine Realms of the Norse, or the different realms of different mythologies." Lint merely lifts her chin with a smile of confidence, "and by the way… your world is possibly the land of Oz."
"Sorry what now?"
"Oz! The mysterious dimension beyond the Dimensional Gap! The thing Wizard of Oz was inspired by!"
"Wait… are you tell me, that Remnant is the so called, Land of Oz?"
"It checks out! Dorothy was isekai'd to the mysterious place full of color~ Also, Ozma, Ozpin, Oscar and Glynda Goodwitch? Those are obviously people who inspired Wizard of Oz! Not to forget Qrow, Iroonwood, and Lionheart!" Then Lint stood up with her mind racing, "WHAT THE HELL! EVEN THOSE THREE MIRROR THE SCARESCROW, TINMAN, AND THE COWARDLY LION!"
Jaune stared confused at Lint, "Dorothy? Inspired?"
Lint stared back, "Jaune, do you know the story… of Wizard of Oz?"
"…no?"
Lint stared back flatly, "seriously?"
"Well, we are busy training…"
"I am your classmate Jaune! Jeanne really loved Snow white especially the Classic Disney movie!"
"…I was busy training when you guys did the Disney Marathon." Jaune looked away embarrassed, "and again, I am a hundred-year-old man, so…"
"You know that Weiss Schnee 'mirrors' Snow White." Lint brought a hand on her chin, "Ruby is Red Riding Hood, Yang is Goldilocks; can't figure out Blake… Pocahontas? With Adam either being Kocoum or John…"
"… Lint."
"So, the mystery of the mysterious Land of Oz is solved!"
"… Lint, no."
"Oh, c'mon it checks out!"
"Then explain Team JNPR."
Lint was about to say something, but stop mid-way, before thinking hard…
"Nora being a Valkyrie won't make sense in the land of Oz." Jaune reasoned, "and Mulan is a real-life hero in China."
"Dammit! You ruined my fun!" Lint pouted as Jaune chuckled back.
But in the end, she was happy, to lift some of the pain Jaune had to bear for so long.
She sat beside him once again and rest her chin on his shoulder.
"What makes us now?"
"You are a nun Lint…"
"Damn."
"But I think we can find a way…" Jaune entertained the idea while holding her hand, "but…I have to get over the fact that I am going to date someone who is basically the same age of my great grandniece."
"Boy like it when they are young~"
"Shut-up will you."
Jaune rested his head on Lint as the sat in comfortable silence.
After breathing in on her hair, he realized.
I lived a life. I am living a new one.
What happened, happened, and I am in peace with it.
A new Saga begins.
Jaune smiled on her head before kissing the top of her head.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
Merry Christmas! Two chapters in a few days! My gift.
So yes… It is officially JaunexLint, but their relationship will be more slowburn, so now sex anytime soon.
And Lint learns the truth!
The Land of Oz, the Dimension of the Wizards of Oz is really in DxD, but in this story there will by more mystery on what the Dimension is really like. Levinia studies there.
And Lint sees the pattern! But can't figure out Team JNPR. Good luck to her figuring out CVFY and the Ace Ops… hahahahaha
Also, Sun is not going to be in the story... sorry to pop your bubble. I have already planned who will be here and it won't be many, but they will be important to the plot in various degrees.
So here is the Epilogue guys! I am so happy to finally finished this arc!
Anyway, Fav, Review, and Follow!
Take Care and God Bless!
