306 Episodes Rainy Wales (4)

Was my recruitment offer so unexpected?

Amelia looked at me as if trying to understand my intentions. As if he could not find another intention in the end, he spoke in a somewhat bitter voice.

“I… They are looters.”

“It’s only natural that I’m from Noark. But I know better that they are different in nature.”

In fact, Amelia brought me and Ainar back alive when we first met.

The same is true when we meet in the sewer.

The dwarf, Rottmiller, Misha, and even Dwalkie.

Not only me, who is a ‘barbarian’, but everyone else was fed the precious ‘Blessing of Lethe’ and devised a different method.

so that.

“My information is also registered in the Explorers’ Guild. Of course the royal family would know—”

I cut Amelia’s words firmly.

“It’s an identity, just create a new one.”

“It’s not that easy. When I’m next to you, a nobleman, I’m sure there will be people digging into my identity—”

Ugh, I talk a lot today

“So did you say? When I solve all those restrictions, then you can join my clan.”

“That’s… … It can’t be, so I’m saying it now. At that time, if we force it, we will get in trouble for each other—”

“Hey, insurance.”

“insurance… … ?”

“Okay, I’ll figure it out whether it will or not, so you just have to answer.”

Alternatives consisting of ‘yes’ and ‘no’.

As I cleared things up, Amelia hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

“Hey, why are you always bothering me… … .”

“So what is the answer?”

“i get it. If I’m in a situation where there’s no problem even if I’m by your side… … .”

Amelia wiggled her tail and avoided her gaze.

But wouldn’t he have liked his unconscious behavior?

Whoops.

Amelia raised her head and looked into my eyes and said.

“Then, I will be your friend.”

Quest accomplished.

***

Quest Name: Save My Sister!

Goals: Survival of the older sister (0/1), solving the identity problem (0/1)

Reward: Amelia Reignwales (SSR) Recruitment Ticket

Hmm, that’s roughly how it feels.

After tidying up this quest, Amelia took the bottle from the table and drank it.

“You said you didn’t drink because you weren’t drunk?”

“I am thirsty.”

Oh, really.

But it’s very macho when you say things like that while drinking alcohol.

tuk.

Amelia put down the bottle and frowned.

Seeing this, I couldn’t stand it and asked.

“Are you not good at drinking?”

“How does this taste delicious?”

“No, I just checked. I don’t really like alcohol either.”

It is said that if you go through a lot of hard work, it becomes like a sweet drink, so I asked just in case. Adversity seems to have been enough for me to go through, but it’s still just like that.

“… … Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”

Saying so, Amelia sat down on the other side of the table.

“Did you want to hear about Nibels Enche? tell me Your opinion might come up with another way.”

“good night.”

“Oh, and one more thing. As I said in advance, I will become your colleague only when you have kept all the promises you made earlier. Do you understand?”

“But I said you should join the clan, not your comrades?”

“Ah oh… … .”

Amelia flinched at my words.

“That too… … It sure is. I… I thought that was really what it meant. If the two are different, correct me—”

“Okay, now that I look at it, my colleagues seem to have a better sense of language than clan members.”

“… … Maybe you just made fun of me?”

I’m quick-witted.

“No way.”

Amelia looked at me suspiciously, but couldn’t say anything because there was no confirmation.

So, it’s time to change the topic.

“Say it now. Everything I didn’t know, including Nibels Entze.”

Returning to the main topic, Amelia also erased her playfulness and started the story while looking back at her memories.

“Nibelz Enche was the name of the man who saved my life that day. ‘Iron Mask’ was the nickname he used in Noark.”

“So was it.”

For a moment, it became clear what had been long gone.

I am this woman’s lifesaver.

Whoops, from the day I came down to Noark wearing an iron mask, somehow, I was only turned away from myself.

“So I kept thinking about whether I could tell you this. I came here to change the past, but the more I struggle, the more it seems like everything is going according to plan.”

“Right.”

I didn’t need to say much because it was an experience I had already experienced.

“But you said you wouldn’t give up. Alright, say it. come out… … . No, when was the next time you met Nibels Enche?”

“I don’t know the exact date. However, if my memory is correct, about three weeks from now. The place is introspective… … … .”

After that, I talked with Amelia for a long time and learned the information I needed to know.

No matter what I asked, Amelia spoke frankly, without being vigilant or looking like before.

In a way, perfect communication for the first time.

Oh, of course, that didn’t mean that the answer came right away.

“Any more questions?”

“No, I think I heard everything I heard.”

“Okay then, maybe… … .”

“sorry. To be honest, I don’t know yet. Let me think about it some more.”

“is it… … .”

When I replied that I had nothing to think of, Amelia seemed to regret it, but didn’t say anything.

“Well, you probably don’t immediately come to mind.”

“It sounds like you didn’t expect it at all.”

“… … weird guy. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have said this to you.”

“Hmm, then do you believe in me?”

“… … To some extent.”

“To some extent.”

As soon as I heard it, I gasped and laughed.

Normally, I would have thought it was a goofy answer, but I was somewhat proud of it because it was Amelia who said it.

Isn’t that

I usually filter out compliments from my parents, but when someone who is usually picky gives a compliment, it makes me feel recognized.

“Anyway, if you don’t have any more questions, now it’s my turn.”

“yes?”

“What are you surprised about? me too… It’s only natural that I have a question for you.”

“Oh, I see. try it What are you so curious about?”

“What exactly was the conversation you had with Auril Gavis? At that time, I couldn’t ask in detail.”

I thought there would be questions about the world I lived in or something like that, but it wasn’t.

He really has no useless curiosity.

Well, I guess that would be convenient for me.

“Actually, all you need to know is what I said earlier. But if you’re curious, I’ll tell you from the beginning. When I opened my eyes, the place I was in was a mansion with a very eerie feeling. Oh, it’s a long story to explain why I felt nauseous… … .”

“It’s ok, do it. There is still a lot of night left.”

“uh… … . If so, then I see.”

After that, I told you everything that happened in the spiritual world I visited last month.

As a result, the names of giants were also mentioned.

The leader of Orcules.

Annihilator Belbev Ruingenes.

And an unidentified man called ‘Kagureas’.

“Kagureas? It’s the first I’ve heard of such a name.”

Sadly, Amelia didn’t know anything about the man.

Well, the other two were a little different.

“The chief of Orculis was there… … . There were rumors that it might be a demon, but it must have been true. So, are you from the same place as the leader?”

“It is not again. Not all demons come from the same dimension.”

“Is it the same with the annihilator?”

“Perhaps it is. It was around this time that people from my hometown began to be brought in.”

“is it… … . Thanks to you, I’ve heard some amazing stories. I didn’t know the leader, but Ruingenes, the old man wasn’t even rumored to be an evil spirit.”

“In that sense, I ask, can I hear a bit about the two of you?”

“I don’t know much, but if you want that.”

This time, it was Amelia who took out insurance before spitting out the information. There were a lot more useful things than I thought.

yeah i didn’t know much

Because there is not much information that has spread outside of the leader or the annihilator.

As a native of Noark, Amelia, who had a lot of contact with Orculis, had to be different from the level of common sense.

“So, are you going to be called there on the 15th again?”

“Perhaps it is. At the end, you said something like solving the equity issue, but I’m curious to see how it turned out. Oh, is there anything you would like to ask him? Then I’ll ask you when I’m called later.”

“… … Think about it.”

After that, there was no more conversation to be had, so I dug up and laid down on the bed. It felt like a very long day because I was almost up all night.

But after lying down, did I have another question?

“Bjorn, what kind of world was yours?”

Unusually, Amelia asked questions again and again, and I answered each one faithfully.

Democracy, science, cars and airplanes, missiles.

Every time I said something, I needed an explanation, so the words were long, but it wasn’t boring or annoying.

Well, it was the first time.

The reason I shared this with someone with this body.

There was no need to do that in conversation with Amelia, unlike usual, where he had to think about every word he said once more because he had to hide that he was a demon.

How much time has passed

“It was quite an interesting story. Most of them knew that.”

“What? Did you know? How?”

“Because there are many demons who have revealed their identities in Noark. As you go along, you will hear a lot of things.”

“Right… … . No, wait, then why did you ask me that again?”

“that… … .”

Amelia wiggled her tail.

And the silence continued for a while.

“Are you sleeping?”

“… … .”

“Don’t pretend to sleep. I know you’re half asleep like a dolphin.”

“… … .”

Is this a hearing word?

I didn’t know how to reverse one of the two ways of making people angry.

“… … Are you really sleeping?”

“… … .”

Oh my gosh, I’m snoring now.

Ha, it’s really funny. what is acting?

I don’t know, but since then I have closed my eyes without speaking.

It was a simple reason.

If he really slept deeply after a long time, I didn’t want to disturb him.

“… … Good night.”

I turned my back to the wall and lay down, and soon fell asleep.

***

After that day, time passed quickly.

No, it’s a little too fast to say, right?

To be honest, it was a very boring time.

Because I thoroughly refrained from going out because I didn’t want to create a variable, I was only killing time in the dormitory all day.

Oh, that’s not to say it wasn’t a pointless time.

“Byon, wash up.”

“Why can’t I go out?”

“… … It smells.”

We chatted all day.

There were several topics.

Sometimes it was my hometown, sometimes it was a memory of Amelia and my sister, sometimes it was an episode in the labyrinth.

In any case, as we talked in many ways, I got to know more about the character Amelia.

Well, the biggest harvest must have been to finally hear about the essence of Amelia’s possession.

‘Have you not been able to do a proper team activity? I don’t understand why I could only go up to the 8th floor with those specs.’

Amelia’s specs were much better than I expected.

To be honest, if you don’t have Akje longsword or ‘Dragon Slayer’, it’s safe to say that you’re above the Dragon Slayer.

‘But not only the battle, but also the talent of the guide.’

Based on this, it is possible to perform the seeker position, and as an Auror user, it is an extreme dealer capable of slicing up physically resistant monsters.

Instead, it has the disadvantage of being weak, but… … .

That’s a problem I just need to tank well in front.

“Oh right. How did you go out today?”

“As expected, the answer of refusal came back.”

Amelia, who came out of the shower, answered, wiping her hair with a towel.

yep, that’s how it goes

“Hmm, maybe the problem was that I sang too little… … .”

Paying money to bring the Lane Wales sisters, who belonged to another team’s ‘throwers’, failed.

“How were they? Do you think you would change your mind if I gave you more money?”

“Well. I don’t know, but it’s better not to do it that way. If you know we’re obsessed with the two of you, you’ll be more than wary, they’ll try to use us with it.”

“I guess so too. All these guys are evil.”

“Nevertheless, we succeeded in approaching it naturally. Fortunately, they showed interest in us first.”

“If you are interested?”

“He said he didn’t want to join your team.”

In a way, things were going according to our plan, but neither of us had a bright expression on our faces.

Yes, because all of this has happened in the past.

“It’s just so snug, it just takes my breath away.”

Even in the original history, we are in that team.

And after going through this and that, about 5 months later, it happens.

“So what are you going to do?”

“… … Join the team as planned. It’s a little cramped, but it’s the best way to be nearby when it happens.”

“okay? Then do it that way.”

I didn’t really disagree or disagree.

No matter how much I think about it, it seems impossible to change the past in this way, but there is no other way that I can think of.

For once, I decided to follow Amelia’s plan.

At least until I come up with a better plan.

Yes, so in that sense… … .

[23:55]

Check the time one more time.

Looking at me like that, Amelia said.

“Ah, looking back, today is that day.”

“okay.”

After drinking a glass of water, I lay down on the bed.

“Goodbye.”

Seeing off, again, this is very awkward.

“We still have five minutes to go. After all, it’s only a short time here.”

“Ah, so it is.”

After that, I spent some time chatting with Amelia.

Is it because the opponent is Auril Gabis?

Saying that I’m a little nervous—

Click.

At that moment, the second hand of the clock placed on the night table clicked, and my eyes blurred.

‘The cider was delicious back then.’

If I ask again, will you give it to me?
