Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 303
303Tu Lane Wales (1)
Noark does not reject evil spirits..
So, unlike on earth, there are quite a few people who reveal their identity and live there. In fact, judging from our last conversation, Amelia, who was born here, did not view evil spirits as hostile..
but…….
‘The moment you admit it, it will become a weakness for the rest of your life..’
Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.
To say that sentence is my Achilles heel is not enough..
A bomb that will destroy everything in my society and even threaten my life..
But the bomb button was given to Amelia..
Of course, we are now in a friendly relationship with Amelia.…….
‘Because no one knows what will happen later.’
If something goes wrong due to some incident?
From that day on, not only could I not sleep properly, but even if there were no particular relationship problems, it was definitely a factor of anxiety..
If he decides to use me, I will be summoned like a servant and eaten like a dog..
so that……
“Amelia Lane Wales, are you insulting me?.”
Speaks in a low voice like an animal growling.
After all, evil spirits don't lose their memories.?
It could be just a story made up to remind me..
No, even if the drug really had those characteristics, it would have to be considered a defective product.—
“What if it's insulting??”
“……uh?”
This is my first time seeing this type of person come out so confidently.…….
After a moment of confusion, Amelia opened her mouth..
“Are you going to attack me? Without my help, it would be more difficult to obtain the items kept by Seongju.?”
“……don't test my patience.”
Amelia snorted at my words..
“The fact that you say something like that is proof that you aren't that angry. Otherwise, he would have rushed at me a long time ago. Like other barbarians.”
“…….”
“Come to think of it, it was strange from the first meeting. They told you to risk your warrior's honor and beg for your life, but you didn't even think about it for a moment..”
“…….”
“But insult? Isn’t it a bit funny to even say that now??”
Ha, is this karma??
When I say that, I suddenly have nothing to say..
So now there's only one way left for me.
“You're laughing at a barbarian, you must be in trouble with your head.”
It was an ultimatum..
Because it's obvious that if you hesitate any longer, you'll be at a further disadvantage..
It was a car that gave strength to the body with such thoughts..
“Why are you really planning on attacking me? Just like you did to the demon hunter who visited you back then.?”
huh?
I even know that story?
“……Did you even investigate my background?.”
“There must be one or two suspicious things. Not just me, but most people have probably done it. Well, after receiving the title of nobility, everyone would have put aside their doubts like me..”
Amelia continued talking without giving any time to interrupt..
“But I never thought it was really an evil spirit. You're talented too. How on earth did you get the title of nobility? Even if the secret security department cleared the charges, the royal family would have tried to verify it separately since it was a title award..”
Uh, there was nothing like that..
I don't know, but it worked..
You can use this part.
“I don't think that's because it's not an evil spirit.?”
He confidently straightened his shoulders and spoke, but Amelia didn't even listen and answered immediately..
“As I said before, the only people who don't lose their memories from that drug are evil spirits..”
“defective—”
“That won't happen.”
Is it a pumpkin??
Even if I try to say something about how strong the guard is, it doesn't make any sense..
What should I do??
While thinking about it, Amelia muttered something..
“……Hmm, now that I think about it, the royal family may have knowingly tolerated it. Because back then you were nothing short of a hero in the city..”
Huh, what does this mean?.
I was curious about the story behind it, but I barely held back because I felt like if I asked, it would be like admitting it..
But was it noticeable on his face??
“It looks like you don't understand what it means..”
“No, not at all. Why should I wonder that in the first place??”
Amelia chuckled at my denial..
“I have no intention of admitting it until the end.?”
“Of course. 'Cause I'm not an evil spirit or anything.”
“Well, that's just like you. done. It's not like there's no way anyway.”
Soon, Amelia took out a compass-sized disc from subspace..
It was something I couldn't have known even if I didn't know it..
‘Crazy, why is this here?.’
No.7234 Broken trust.
It is a consumable item that makes it impossible to tell a lie within a 10m radius when activated, and it is the thing that caused that damn thing in the doppelganger forest..
“I didn't see it when I was unpacking at the top earlier..”
“I bought it separately when I was living in the city. As it is a city like this, I thought there might be something useful about it. I didn't know I'd be the first to write to you.”
Yes, that's right.
You were already running a simulation on how to cook me by combining the paddles you already had..
“Judging by the look on his face, I don’t think I need to explain what this is. Well, if it's an evil spirit, there's no way he wouldn't know..”
click.
Amelia clicked the home button at the top of ‘Broken Trust’.
And I put it on the nightstand between the beds..
The second hand began to move slowly, making a ticking sound..
Amelia asked in that state..
“Bjorn Jandel, are you an evil spirit??”
It was check mate.
***
A breathtaking silence follows..
In it, I desperately tried to shake my head..
‘……what should i do?’
It's not a question of whether or not to reveal that it's an evil spirit..
Because that was already overshadowed the moment ‘broken trust’ appeared..
‘It's not fake or anything..’
Unfortunately, ‘broken trust’ was genuine..
I tested it right away the moment it worked..
‘Lies like ‘I am a woman’ couldn’t come out of my mouth even if I tried to say them..
“There are 5 minutes left.”
“…….”
“Are you going to keep doing this??”
An item that becomes an answer just by silence itself.
It has already been proven that I am an evil spirit..
So, the only thing I'm worried about is.
‘kill it?’
As it is the most important secret to me, even extreme measures are fascinating..
but…….
‘……Let's not think nonsense.’
I tried to shake off that thought..
Because it's impossible to kill in the first place.
To be honest, it's not like there's no way to win when fighting 1:1.…….
If Amelia chooses to run away, the chase won't be easy..
Also, if you break up with him right now, all your future plans will be in jeopardy..
‘Plus, just looking at him, he's the type of person who would be a huge pain in the ass if he became an enemy..’
If so, there is only one way..
It may not be a barbarian solution, but.
She's a black and white woman, so if you don't want to be an enemy, you have no choice but to be a friend..
“It would be a shame for it to be wasted like this, so I guess I should say something. The saying ‘Only evil spirits can’t lose their memories due to drugs’ is not a made-up statement, it is true..”
Soon I finished my long worries..
“……yes, i am an evil spirit.”
This is the second coming out after Lee Baek-ho..
Amelia didn't seem particularly surprised..
I only brought it up to admit it with my mouth, but in fact, I was probably already convinced of it long ago..
“That's a strange expression..”
“……You never know. How relieved and stuffy I feel right now..”
“Somehow—”
Suddenly Amelia stopped speaking..
At first I thought something was wrong, but soon I understood the situation..
‘The ‘broken trust’ was recognized as a lie and silenced him..
“Did you really mean to say you're sorry or something like that??”
“…….”
Ha, it's really ridiculous..
My fever rose for a moment, but I barely managed to hold it in..
Yeah, we can't be enemies.?
Now that I've been caught being an evil spirit, I have to become the best friend I've ever had in this world..
Okay, so let's check this first..
“But are you okay? Even if I'm an evil spirit.”
“If you ask whether there are any ill feelings like people in the city, the answer is no. There was a time when I worked as a team with an evil spirit for over a year..”
“……But then why did you dig it up so persistently??”
“Because I was curious.”
This was the second hurdle.
Just for that reason, I was able to remove something that a person wanted to hide at all costs.?
The moment steam rose in my head.
“……Strangely, I often get involved with you. So I was curious. Are you hiding anything, is it okay to trust you?.”
Amelia said this while avoiding eye contact..
‘Seeing that 'misplaced trust' is at work, it's not like I'm just saying something without meaning to.…….
Ha, this is why I get so angry—
“Oh, of course, I also calculated that if I discovered my weakness, you wouldn't be able to betray me so easily..”
It would have been better not to say that..
Well, what can I do? She is a woman who looks like this.
“I have a question.”
“……Try it.”
“If it's an evil spirit, why was it so angry about Yandel Jark's death? Was it a feeling of guilt??”
“that…….”
I do not know either.
I tried to answer, but no words came out..
So I just honestly admitted it..
“okay.”
“Hmm, you were actually a very soft person..”
Amelia looks at me with interest.
“Is your goal to go back like other demons??”
“……I don't know.”
“Because of those colleagues?”
“…….”
“I guess the affection was like that from the beginning..”
Really, why is he so interested in me??
I need to change the subject soon…….
click.
At that time, there was a clicking sound and the needle of ‘broken trust’ stopped moving..
This means that the effect duration has ended..
‘I guess I can live now.’
I quickly changed the topic of conversation.
Whether you like it or not, isn't this a situation where it has been revealed that you are an evil spirit?.
You should first check what you normally couldn't ask because you wanted to hide your identity..
“Amelia, why were you looking for Auril Gavis before??”
“Oh, come to think of it, if you were an evil spirit, you would know about him too..”
“Should I just know? Not long ago, I even met him in person..”
“I met him?”
“Let's talk about that later, and answer what I ask first..”
“……Because he was there the day my sister died..”
“what?”
“I thought he must have been involved in some way. So I wanted to meet him and hear the truth. That's all.”
Hmm, it’s not as big as I thought..
I thought there was a bigger secret or something..
‘No, just the fact that the old man was there that day is not bad information. Maybe during this journey I can find out what the old man's goal is..’
“Now then, tell me. where did you meet him?”
“Do you know about Ghostbusters??”
“If you're talking about a gathering of evil spirits, to some extent.”
Okay, then there's less to explain..
“20It was a year ago, so I thought I wouldn't be summoned, but as I fell asleep, I was summoned. There I met someone who claimed to be Auril Gavis..”
Afterwards, during our conversation, I briefly explained that I had discovered that I was from the future..
“The important thing starts now, so listen carefully. The old man said. No matter what we do here, we can't change the past.”
“……he said so?”
“Yeah, I couldn't believe it either so I tested it. And the result is what I said back then..”
Dwalkie and Raven.
I tried to change the future of the two, but the situation progressed as if even that action was part of cause and effect..
“So let me ask you again, Amelia..”
“…….”
“Are you still thinking about giving it a try??”
Amelia didn't answer..
Last time I told you, there wasn't even a movement..
When an additional explanation was added that it was Auril Gavis's words, it seemed to have a special weight..
“I'm going to try it.”
Amelia, who had been quietly gathering her emotions for a while, opened her mouth..
“Because it's too late to give up now.”
It's late…….
Looks like someone who bought stocks at the top of a cliff.
“Right. Then I will help too..”
Instead of recommending a breakup, he expressed his intention to join in..
Isn’t she a very compassionate woman?.
If I build up goodwill and clear debt like this, I won't think about playing on my weaknesses.—
“……I'm tired, I'll rest first..”
At that time, Amelia finished the conversation and lay down on the bed..
I was a little embarrassed.
‘huh? Sleeping? Isn’t now the time to say thank you??’
That I can rely on you, that I'm glad I have you.
I wasn't expecting that kind of line, but I never thought he'd just lie down without responding..
Huh, if this happens, the plan goes awry.…….
How can I get points??
“Amelia, Jana?”
“……?”
“Well, if you're just tired, I thought I could give you a massage..”
“…….”
“Oh yeah… … . It’s a bit like that, isn’t it? I'm sorry for disturbing you while you were resting..”
I lay down on the bed across from Amelia, looking at her..
I close my eyes, but I can't fall asleep.
It was a time when the silence passed by endlessly..
“What was its original name??”
At that time, a question came at me without even blinking, and I just answered honestly..
I don't know why I suddenly became curious about your real name.…….
“This is Hansoo Lee. Oh, by the way, this is my last name..”
Not only is his real name not that important since he was discovered to be an evil spirit, but he also decided that refusing to answer could be a factor in lowering his favorability..
Um, yeah.
It must have been like that…….
“Hans? So your name is Hans? Surprisingly common name—”
A swear word came out without me even realizing it..
“What the fuck?”
Anyway, this crossed the line.
