291 Angry Tycoon (3)

Ironically, that’s what human relationships are all about.

Usually, the one who is desperate is the Eul.

like this moment.

“One more drink.”

“Ah, here you are.”

“Wow.”

I refilled another glass of cider and drank it.

The old man seems to want to finish talking after saying this, but… … .

It’s not hard

“Can I have a cola?”

“Heh heh, you seem to miss your hometown a lot.”

“Wow!”

yes this is it

My whole body trembles at the refreshing feeling of carbonic acid that I haven’t seen in a long time.

However, we decided to end the drink abuse here.

‘Looking at what cider and cola are, it seems like they really came to our world, then how did they get over? It would not have opened ‘the door of the abyss’… … .’

Several questions ran through my mind.

‘If you can figure out a way, can you go home without going up the floor?’

Of course, it was just a thought I had done once, and I wasn’t so desperate. To be honest, having to go back these days was my biggest concern.

I’ve already adapted well to this place.

It must have been a slightly uncomfortable world, but it was a good enough place to live.

Yes, even without carbonation.

“Heh heh, seeing you so happy makes me feel better too. Where would you like to have another drink?”

“No, it is now.”

“okay?”

Auril Gavis tilted his head and then asked me the same question as before.

However… … .

“Would it have been my turn this time?”

As soon as I gave him the noodles, he coughed in vain.

“Uh-huh, I’m sorry. I was in a hurry. As you said, it’s your turn this time, so I’ll ask you anything.”

What do you mean, yes, while answering everything roughly.

I said firmly.

“The question ends here.”

“yes?”

yea what is yea

to be shameless.

“Does it make sense to do more? I can’t even tell if what you’re saying is true or not.”

When I pointed out the meanness of running the lie detector from behind, the old man said as if it was unfair.

“But I never lied!”

yea, that’s it

Because I didn’t tell you all the important things anyway.

On the contrary, it builds trust that he did not lie.

However… … .

“It’s unfair, isn’t it?”

This old man can just turn around when it’s an uncomfortable topic, and I can’t even keep silent.

“… … What can I do?”

Well, well.

I pretended to be worried, dragging time, and opening my mouth at the right time.

“If I ask ten questions, how about you ask one?”

“What… … ?”

The old man spit out a sound as if it was absurd.

yep, was this too bad?

I hurriedly brought out the excuses I had prepared.

“In the first place, I am taking a huge risk by talking to you.”

“risk?”

“I don’t know how the future will change because of this.”

A line that simultaneously hints at the risk factors I take and the value of information 20 years into the future.

However… … .

“What? Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Auril Gavis burst out laughing as if he had heard a genuinely interesting story.

It was so exciting, it made me feel bad about it.

Because I wasn’t talking about that funny.

“Ah, sorry for suddenly laughing.”

As the old man stared at him whether he was smiling or not, he coughed and controlled his expression.

and… … .

“It’s just something I hadn’t thought of. Of course, it would be natural for you to think that way… … .”

Auril Gavis continued.

“You can’t change anything with the shards of records.”

That’s why he laughed at me.

***

Temporary cerebral arrest occurred.

But even when I tried to find my composure and thought about it again, I couldn’t understand it.

So I just hung up and asked.

“Can’t change, what does that mean?”

“Oh, maybe that’s the ‘question’?”

uh… … .

“… … .”

I feel like I am choking on my breath as well as speech.

It was a time when cider was desperately needing a sip again.

“Heh heh, that’s a joke.”

Auril Gavis answered my question with a happy smile.

“It is difficult to explain the concept of time and causation to you now, so please understand this.”

“… … .”

“Is the chicken first or the egg first? Relationships don’t matter. The history of the universe comes only once.”

I don’t know much about the history of the universe or anything.

However, I did not understand the principle, but understood what he was saying.

So, now this old man says… … .

“Does that mean the future won’t change no matter what I do here?”

“Yes. The observed time zone does not change even once.”

“easily.”

“Whatever you are thinking here, whatever you do. Whatever conversation we have here and now. It means something that has happened in the past.”

Understanding and understanding are two different things.

I know what theory you’re talking about… … .

So what about Dwalkie?

What letters did you leave behind in the Holy Land?

After all, it doesn’t matter what I do?

‘No way.’

I listened to the old man, but decided not to trust too much. Just because he was this old man, it must not have been that he had mastered everything.

Didn’t you know that I was the original clear?

“I don’t believe it.”

“… … .”

“Well, you’ll find out when you’ve finished all you have to do here, too. What it means to be called by the times.”

Soon after, Auril Gabis turned the subject and returned to the original story.

“So it’s about equity… … . Ten is too absurd. How about one out of three?”

Well, it’s aimed at people when they’re crazy.

I decided to think about the history of the universe and anything like that later, so I focused on the negotiations.

“Three is too few. I don’t know if it’s one in five.”

“… … Guys, aren’t you too conscientious? Even if information 20 years from now is important, the things I know will never push me away.”

Auril Gavis frowned as if his pride had been hurt.

Well, the sentiment was not understandable.

If you ask 100 players from Earth, they will all be interested in the information ‘Auril Gavis’ would know and think it is more valuable.

However… … .

“If you really think like that, shouldn’t you just not do it?”

The value of water varies according to the environment.

To one who is thirsty, a handful of water is more precious than a hundred pounds of gold.

“One in five questions. If you don’t like it, don’t.”

As if waiting, I presented the final proposal.

That was the moment.

“These damn things… … .”

The old man’s expression hardened coldly.

So I was very scared because I thought I might have just crossed the line… … .

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it to you. It’s just that the people I saw earlier broke the rules again.”

Fortunately, I wasn’t the cause of the coloration.

Rather, the old man continued speaking with a look of concern that I might have misunderstood.

“Looks like I have to go today. How about sharing this story again next month? I will think about the issue of equity in the meantime.”

It was a sudden statement, but I didn’t show any regrets. The moment you make such a tee here, the terms of the negotiation that were just before the conclusion will be lowered.

“good night.”

I nodded as if there was no rush, and he waved his hand in the air.

and… … .

“… … I’m back.”

When I woke up, I was lying on the bed in the hostel.

***

[00: 00].

At midnight on the 15th, only checking the time, I lay down again and went to sleep.

Of course, sleep did not come easily.

Numerous thoughts, worries, and anxieties passed by without being organized in my head.

However, the day was bright nonetheless.

“… … Nothing has changed.”

As soon as morning came, I got dressed and headed to the library.

After all, the future doesn’t change?

No matter what you do, it’s something that happened in the past, so it’s meaningless?

so what do you mean

That can’t be a reason to stand still.

Auril Gavis, there is a possibility that the old man may have misunderstood something.

If you do nothing, your chances are zero.

‘Not today.’

I stopped by the library with that in mind, but Raven was nowhere to be seen.

Where the hell did this little boy go?

Did anyone else lose electricity while I was away and then get upset?

‘… … After all, he didn’t come.’

I waited until Raven’s usual time to go home, but Raven didn’t show up.

It was the same the next day.

‘… … Write, worry.’

I continued to visit the library, regretting knowing where my old house was. Raven appeared the next day after working another day.

“Why haven’t you been here?”

“There was work. you?”

“just.”

Raven spoke with a smirk at first glance, and sat down and started reading a book.

But what else is this?

“Why do you keep turning your head?”

“I didn’t turn.”

No, it’s still running.

My hair is weirdly sporadic.

“Come here.”

“no.”

“Then I will go.”

I strode over and flipped Raven’s bangs to the side.

And he engraved a seal on his head that he could barely endure.

‘Yeah, you meant to hide this.’

There was a large bruise around Raven’s eyes.

“Who are you?”

“… … It doesn’t matter.”

Ha, how do you get this to open your mouth?

As I was taking a deep breath while thinking about that, Raven looked me in the eye and muttered as if to comfort me.

“… … don’t mind. I just got home late and my mom found out that I went to the library.”

As soon as I heard those words, my taste buds went numb.

Even for the second time that this little girl was beaten up by her mother.

‘You came home late… … .’

He was a child who guarded like a sword for the time he returned home.

But how did he come home late?

“Are you late for waiting for me?”

“… … .”

Raven was silent at my words, and that silence became the most certain answer.

Well, I said ‘no’ late, but… … .

It’s already too late, man.

“Since my story is over, tell me about the labyrinth. You did it then.”

“… … Where were you talking about?”

“The doppelganger forest. The doppelganger even said that pretending to be dead is his specialty. But this is not very interesting, so please do something else.”

First, as Raven wished, he pretended to be okay and talked about the labyrinth, and as time went on, it was time for Raven to go home.

“Then I’ll go.”

“okay.”

“Tomorrow… will you come?”

“If nothing else happens.”

Hearing my answer, Raven ran out of the library with a brisk pace.

So, I also went out.

and… … .

‘Shall we follow?’

Raven began to follow.

I didn’t want to interfere with other people’s family affairs as much as possible, but… … .

‘He didn’t do anything right.’

Cancer, this is a bit over the line.
