    Episode 194: Biffron (4)

    Once in the Land of the Dead.

    Once under the sewer.

    Once by chance in front of our inn after Noark was closed.

    ‘If you count until today a total of four times.’

    At this point it would be hard to call it a tough relationship.

    Therefore it was necessary to gradually change the attitude towards this woman.

    “…Aren’t you going?”

    “Yes I changed my mind.”

    Isn’t there a saying that knowledge is power?

    Until now she didn’t want to get involved so she just tried to avoid it by not paying attention…

    [… She is not a human woman.]

    [Amelia Lane Wales.]

    Somehow we even knew each other’s names.

    This means that avoiding it is no longer the solution.

    ‘Now I have to find out. ‘What on earth is this woman doing?’

    If there is someone who keeps wandering around your house you should definitely find out what kind of person they are.

    Is she someone who should be reported to the police and kicked out?

    Is she or is she such a scary person that she has to leave the house and run away.

    Because she knows that she can respond correctly.

    “Zinkassar Feljain!!”

    After waiting for a moment the rooftop door burst open.

    What came in was a gangster wearing a black eyepatch.

    It seems like he is the leader of the eastern faction…

    “I guess you were prepared to dare to enter our area without warning… But what about your brain…?”

    Pakppakgi who appeared with great vigor blurted out his words.

    It seems that the sight of Squidward with a jellyfish cut was a shock.

    “…Could it have been a wig?”

    “….”

    Squidward lowered her head without any response.

    An untimely silence that lasted for a moment.

    But was there too much resentment built up against each other to feel sympathy for the same illness?

    The situation which had been paused for a while unfolded again.

    “Do you think that will make me feel sorry for you? “I will end my bad relationship with you today!”

    “Fu hahaha! Do you think you can beat me just because you have more numbers than you have ever been to a labyrinth? “Me too a level 6 explorer?”

    Pakpakgi declares war and Squidward exudes confidence by smiling exaggeratedly to the point of awkwardness.

    Let’s face it she’s not even level 6.

    Jingjing was so weak that when I interrogated her she confessed that she was actually a level 7.

    ‘There’s no way he could be this relaxed against dozens of people and is he so energetic because he trusts me?’

    It was somehow funny but Pakppaggi was once again serious.

    “Yes I know you were a level 6 explorer. But that’s why we brought in a great person.”

    “…?”

    “Guys let’s go!”

    As Pakppakgi spoke the dozens of thugs gathered behind him stepped back to make a path and a woman appeared between them.

    Amelia Lane Wales.

    An 8th floor explorer from Noark.

    “Barbarian? “Why are you here…”

    She appeared among her men with an annoyed expression looked at me and frowned.

    She felt slightly rewarded.

    I was so surprised when I first saw you.

    “That’s what I want to ask. “Why on earth are you here?”

    Amelia chewed her words as if organizing her thoughts and then the guy who was looking at the two of us cautiously opened his mouth.

    “…Do you know that barbarian?”

    She only trusted this woman but she seemed worried because she seemed to be friendly with me.

    “Quiet.”

    When Amelia let out her short recitation the cat was startled and covered her mouth.

    And about 3 seconds passed.

    “Hand over the man next to Bjorn Yandel to me.”

    Amelia seems to have finished organizing her thoughts and suddenly makes such a request.

    Of course there was no way I would respond to this.

    “This guy is my subordinate.”

    A barbarian does not abandon her men.

    …At least if there is no reason to do so.

    “…boss!!”

    When I answered immediately without even thinking Squidward looked at me with a touched face.

    Amelia on the other hand seemed like she didn’t understand.

    “…burden?”

    An expression of confusion as to why I a rising star in the exploration industry am here and why I am the leader of a gang of thugs.

    I muttered briefly.

    “I have a problem too.”

    “I see.”

    Amelia nodded her head coolly.

    He could have asked what the reason was but the reason he doesn’t do so is probably because of his personality.

    “Then I will take you by force.”

    When negotiations break down Amelia immediately takes out her dagger and assumes her fighting stance.

    What do you think this guy is a barbarian?

    I quickly opened my mouth.

    “Let’s talk for a moment.”

    “talk?”

    “okay.”

    The situation is different from when we met at the inn.

    There are no colleagues to help and Biffron is a lawless zone where power is the law.

    Of course it is right to resolve the issue through dialogue.

    Because I haven’t found a setting to block the aurors yet.

    If your body is weak your head will inevitably suffer.

    “It’s fascinating. I didn’t know you would say that first. “Are you sure they are planning a surprise attack?”

    “surprise attack? “I don’t do such cowardly things.”

    She did not hide her feelings of insult.

    While I was talking to him in the sewer he rushed at me throwing his mace at me but there was no reason why he couldn’t be confident.

    My memories of that time were erased.

    At least from his perspective.

    “…That’s not even funny.”

    It’s a situation where you can’t argue even if you want to.

    However Amelia just moved on without showing any signs of frustration.

    Her body was still preparing for a surprise attack.

    Are you now acknowledging me as a worthy opponent?

    “Let’s get them bitten first.”

    “good night.”

    After concluding the agreement briefly I glanced at him and the gangster was the first to notice and went down the building taking the gangsters with him.

    Next it was Jingjing’s turn.

    “I….”

    “Don’t worry. “I will never abandon you.”

    “yes!”

    Squidward looked anxious but trusted me and went down.

    Now it was just the two of us left on the rooftop.

    So it’s time to have an honest conversation.

    “Amelia Lane Wales. “What are you doing here?”

    “Why do I have to answer that?”

    “Isn’t it funny that adults are fighting with each other when children are fighting?”

    “…You must have been twenty years old now?”

    Talk about trivial things with people you know.

    There may be a lot of people who whine or are pushy but in this industry the stronger one is the older brother.

    “Anyway what is the answer?”

    Amelia thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

    “You speak first. Why on earth are you in Bifron?”

    “I was caught using my supernatural ability in the city. She thought it would end with a fine but she told me to live here for 20 days. “Today is the third day.”

    “What about subordinates?”

    “That guy was trying to rob me so I beat him up and took over.”

    Amelia chuckled.

    “You really do what you want to do.”

    It wasn’t a sarcastic nuance.

    Or rather should I say it contains a bit of envy?

    “It’s your turn. “Why did you come here?”

    This is a question that has been asked several times already.

    Amelia finally told us her situation albeit briefly.

    “We’re looking for an explorer who might be here” she said. So I decided to help them with one task in return for their help.”

    “I see.”

    I had a vague understanding of the situation.

    At first I wondered why they would make a ‘deal’ with weak people…

    ‘I guess he wanted to handle things quietly. If you do things like me word will inevitably leak out.’

    I think things will turn out easier than I thought.

    It was the car that made me think like that.

    “I’ll tell you in advance I didn’t mean to break my promise.”

    huh?

    I tilted my head and Amelia continued as if making her excuse.

    “Me too… I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

    Ah that.

    It was a promise never to come to me again.

    I never dreamed that she would be concerned about that first in this situation.

    Is there some sort of obsession with ‘promises’?

    “Don’t worry. “I don’t think you broke your promise.”

    “I see….”

    I guess I had a basic understanding of the situation so I got to the point.

    “Anyway I’m glad. “There is absolutely no reason for us to fight on this issue.”

    “Does this mean you will give him up?”

    “No there is no need to do that. Don’t you need someone to help you? “I will lend you my men.”

    “I heard that the Western Union has the smallest power here.”

    “It’s quicker than I thought.”

    “It’s already been more than ten days since I came here.”

    “I see.”

    I nodded.

    Certainly as Amelia said the Western Union is an elite minority.

    Although it was too weak to be considered elite.

    At least the eastern guys will be better at finding people.

    but….

    “Don’t worry about how few people there are.”

    Still no problem.

    Rather I don’t understand why he couldn’t think of something as simple as this.

    The number of subordinates is small?

    Why worry about such things?

    “Starting today the east is also my territory.”

    All you have to do is copy it.

    ***

    I thought she might be an inflexible woman who values ​​’promises’ but surprisingly she was like me in this regard.

    Amelia was also a person of efficiency.

    “Not a bad method.”

    “Does this mean you agree?”

    “Before that let’s start with this. What do you gain by helping me?”

    “…Please do me a favor later.”

    “Then I will refuse. “For some reason I feel like I’m going to ask you a favor that I can’t handle.”

    Ugh this doesn’t work.

    What happened? The important thing is that it wasn’t a request.

    “Then let’s just count it as service. “It’s better than fighting with you and losing strength.”

    Perhaps it was an understandable excuse but only then did Amelia nod her head and agree to the agreement.

    thus….

    “What happened to him?”

    “It’s okay it’s informal language.”

    She went down to the first floor and kicked Squidward in the stomach who was having an awkward standoff with Squidward.

    Since ancient times suppressing the starting point is important in ‘appointment’.

    “Gagging!”

    The guy who got hit in the solar plexus fell to the floor.

    “You bastard!!”

    From this point on the eastern guys who were all over the first floor rushed at me.

    Sword hammer spear skewer….

    These guys are ruthlessly stabbing from all directions with the weapons in their hands.

    There was no need to stop it.

    “No why is this….”

    Even though they were aimed at exposed skin the weapons were unable to even cut the skin and bounced off.

    It was expected.

    They came in groups of dozens of people to catch one Squidward. Do you think they would get caught?

    What is my physical resistance?

    “Are we finished?”

    “…no.”

    “Behel—laaaaa!!!”

    It didn’t take long.

    The battle ended with instilling fear with [Wild Eruption] and crushing a few as an example.

    Dozens of men do not even dare to run away due to overwhelming force.

    I grabbed the guy by the collar and lifted him up.

    “What is your name?”

    “This is P. Philippe Lazer!”

    “From now on I will call you Pakppak.”

    Okay now the statement is over.

    As I was about to take the next step Pakpakgi asked blankly.

    “Who are you?”

    First the error was corrected.

    “It’s not you.”

    “…?”

    “I’m your boss.”

    “boss…?”

    Pakpakgi who had a confused look in his eyes looked at Squidward who was hiding in the corner.

    Only then did I seem to understand the situation.

    Yes he suffered like this too.

    “You’ve arrived just in time. Just give me a bottle of potion.”

    “…Potion?”

    “My subordinate is injured. Shouldn’t I give him treatment?”

    Amelia glanced at me as if looking at a strange creature then took out a bottle of potion and handed it to me.

    Cheeeeeeeek-

    As soon as I gave him the potion he screamed and wriggled and after waiting for a while he came to his senses in a cold sweat.

    He still looked like he was dreaming.

    I think I’ve had enough of the stick so it’s time to give me the carrot.

    “I will be leaving in 17 days.”

    “yes?”

    “That’s just it.”

    To put it simply it means to think that you have stepped on shit and just hold on for a while. Afterwards I gave instructions to Pakppak and Squidward to go back and gather all the people.

    “There are a lot of people so a dimensional plaza would be fine. “Maybe five hours will do?”

    “That’s ridiculous—”

    “yes! “Enough!”

    Squidward shouts excitedly interrupting Pakppaggi’s words.

    Should I say that he is like a senior?

    Answering ‘YES’ to anything is his greatest virtue as a subordinate.

    This is especially true if your boss is a barbarian.

    “Okay then go ahead and go out.”

    As time was running out her subordinates quickly rushed out to carry out their mission.

    I was quite satisfied with the sight.

    ‘Is this why everyone is so thirsty for power?’

    I chuckled and turned my gaze to Amelia. And he deliberately asked as if he was not interested.

    “Well then tell me now. “Who should I find?”

    I’ve been curious about this ever since.

    First of all this guy is from Noark.

    There is also the possibility that he is looking for people not of his own volition but under Noark’s instructions.

    ‘In these times he is a person who even releases people from the underground city and searches for them….’

    Maybe it could be an important clue.

    The more you know about information that others don’t know the more helpful it will be. If the information is irrelevant to me I can use it to pretend to be present at a round table later.

    The judgment is that there is nothing to lose either way.

    However contrary to my expectations Amelia only answered the character’s characteristics.

    “He may have the appearance of an old man but in disguise.”

    “It means you can’t tell by appearance. “Then how do we find it?”

    “A tattoo on my back. “She heard that it couldn’t be hidden with any magic.”

    Hmm then do we need to check the visible feet and back?

    “What other features might be helpful?”

    “does not exist.”

    “Don’t you even know my name?”

    “…It’s meaningless since I would have used a pseudonym anyway.”

    “But you never know. “Just say something.”

    When I asked Amelia hesitated for a moment as if she was thinking about it.

    But did she decide that even if I told her she wouldn’t know?

    Soon he recited one person’s name.

    “Auril Gavis.”

    what?

    “Auril Gavis?!”

    “…Do you know him?”

    “No I just pretended to know.”

    I gave a vague answer and started managing my facial expressions.

    Excited!

    My heart was beating like crazy.

    That was natural.

    Auril Gavis?

    Isn’t this the name of the author of the ‘Total Chronicles’ series and the creator of [Dungeon & Stone]?
