Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 303



Episode 303: Rain 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 previous 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 socially and even threaten my life.

However the bomb button was given to Amelia.

Of course I have a friendly relationship with Amelia now but…

‘Because no one knows what will happen later.’

What if things go wrong due to some event?

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…

“Amelia Lane Wales are you insulting me?”

He speaks in a low voice like an animal growling.

After all evil spirits don’t lose their memories?

It could just be a story I 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 an insult?”

“…uh?”

This is my first time seeing this type come out so confidently…

After a moment of confusion Amelia opened her mouth.

“Are you going to attack me? “Without my help it will be harder to get the items the castle lord is keeping right?”

“…don’t test my patience.”

Amelia snorted at my words.

“The fact that you say something like that is proof that you are not very angry. Otherwise he would have rushed at me a long time ago. Just like other barbarians do.”

“….”

“If you think about it it was strange from the first time I met her. “I asked you to beg for your life with the honor of a warrior but you didn’t even think about it for a moment.”

“….”

“But insult? “Isn’t it a little funny to say something like that now?”

Ha is this karma?

When I say that I suddenly run out of things to say.

So now there is only one way left for me.

“You must have something in your head to laugh at a barbarian.”

It was an ultimatum.

It’s obvious that if you stay here any longer you’ll be at a further disadvantage.

It was the car that gave strength to her body with those thoughts.

“Why are you really thinking of attacking me? “Like you did to the demon hunter who visited you back then?”

huh?

You even know that story?

“…Did you even investigate my background?”

“There must be one or two things that seem suspicious. Not just me but most people have probably done it. “Well after receiving the title of nobility everyone would have given up their doubts like me.”

Amelia continued speaking without giving her 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? “No matter how much the secret security department cleared him of the charges the royal family would have tried to verify it separately as it was a title conferment.”

Oh there was nothing like that.

I don’t know but it worked.

You can use this part.

“You don’t think I did it because I’m not an evil spirit?”

She confidently spread her shoulders and spoke but Amelia did not 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. “At that time 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.

“You have no intention of admitting it until the end?”

“Of course. “I’m not an evil spirit or anything.”

“Well it’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 that I couldn’t have known even if I didn’t know it.

‘Why is this crazy thing coming out 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 such a mess in the doppelganger forest.

“I didn’t see you when I was unpacking my luggage at the top earlier.”

“I bought it separately when I was living in the city before. As it is a city like this I thought there could 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 of how to cook me by combining the paddles you already had.

“Looking at your expression I don’t think I need to explain what this is. Well if it’s an evil spirit there’s no way you wouldn’t know.”

Click.

Amelia pressed the notch at the top of ‘Broken Trust’.

And she 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 Yandel are you an evil spirit?”

It was check mate.

***

A breathtaking silence follows.

Inside I desperately tried to shake my head.

‘…What should I do?’

It is not a question of whether or not to reveal that it is an evil spirit.

That’s because the moment ‘broken trust’ appeared it was already over.

‘It’s not fake.’

Sadly the ‘broken trust’ was real.

I tested it right away the moment it started working.

Lies like ‘I am a woman’ could not come out of my mouth even if I tried to say them.

“There are five minutes left.”

“….”

“Are you going to keep doing that?”

An item for which silence itself is the answer.

The fact that I am an evil spirit has already been proven.

Therefore there is only one thing I am worried about.

‘Kill me?’

As it is the most important secret to me even extreme measures are fascinating.

but….

‘…Let’s not think nonsense.’

I struggled 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 in a 1:1 fight…

If Amelia chooses to run away the chase will not be easy.

Also if you have a relationship with him right now all your future plans will be in jeopardy.

‘Besides just looking at him he’s the type of person who would be a huge pain in the ass if he became an enemy.’

There is only one way.

I guess it’s not a barbarian solution.

She’s a black and white woman so if she doesn’t want to be an enemy she has 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 ‘The only people who don’t lose their memories due to drugs are evil spirits’ is not a made-up statement it is true.”

Soon I finished my long worries.

“…Yes I am an evil spirit.”

He is the second person to come out following Lee Baek-ho.

Amelia didn’t seem particularly surprised.

She only brought it up to admit it with my mouth but in fact she must have already been convinced.

“You have a strange expression.”

“…You have no idea. “How relieved and stuffy I feel right now.”

“For some reason—”

Suddenly Amelia stopped her words.

At first I thought something was wrong but soon I understood the situation.

They recognized the ‘broken trust’ as a lie and silenced her.

“Did you really mean to say you were sorry or something like that?”

“….”

Haha it’s really ridiculous.

My fever rose for a moment but I barely managed to hold it back.

Yeah we can’t be enemies right?

Now that I’ve discovered that he’s an evil spirit I have to become the best friend I have in this world.

Okay so let’s check this first.

“But are you okay? Even if I am an evil spirit.”

“If you are asking whether there are any ill feelings like people in the city the answer is no. “In the past 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 her second crisis.

Just for that reason you’re saying something that a person wanted to hide somehow?

Just as steam was rising to my head.

“…Strangely enough I often get involved with you. So I was curious. “I wonder if I can trust you if you’re hiding anything.”

She said this as Amelia avoided her gaze.

Seeing that ‘misplaced trust’ is at work it’s not like I’m just saying empty words without meaning to….

Haha that’s why I get angry…

“Of course I also calculated that if I identified a weakness you wouldn’t be able to betray me so easily.”

It would have been better not to have said that.

What can I do? This is how the woman was born.

“I have a question.”

“…Try it.”

“If you were an evil spirit why were you so angry about Yandel Jark’s death? Was it a feeling of guilt?”

“that….”

I don’t know either.

She tried to reply but no words came out.

So she just admitted it honestly.

“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 that way from the beginning.”

Seriously why is he so interested in me?

I need to change the subject soon…

Click.

At that time she made a clicking sound and the needle of ‘broken trust’ stopped moving.

This means that the effect duration has ended.

‘Now I can live a little longer.’

I quickly changed the topic of conversation.

Whether you like it or not isn’t this a situation where it has been revealed that it is 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 if you think about it if you were an evil spirit you would know about him too.”

“Should I just know? “I even met him in person not long ago.”

“You 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 it.”

Hmm it’s not as big as I thought.

I thought there was an even bigger secret.

‘No 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 then to a certain extent.”

Okay then there is less to explain.

“It was 20 years ago so I thought I wouldn’t be summoned but when 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 he 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 that?”

“Yeah I couldn’t believe it either so I tested it. And the result is what I said back then.”

Dwalkie and Raven.

They tried to change the future of the two but the situation progressed as if even that action was part of cause and effect.

“So I’ll ask you again Amelia.”

“….”

“Are you still planning on giving it a try?”

Amelia didn’t answer.

Last time I told you there wasn’t even a movement.

When the additional explanation that it was Auril Gavis’s words was added it seemed to have a special weight.

“I’m going to try.”

Amelia who had been quietly gathering her emotions for a while opened her mouth.

“It’s too late to give up now.”

It’s late….

It’s like someone who bought stocks at the top of a cliff.

“I see. Then I will help you too.”

She expressed her intention to join in instead of recommending a breakup.

Isn’t she a very compassionate woman?

If I build up goodwill and clear my debt like this I won’t think about playing on my weaknesses—

“…I’m tired so I’ll rest first.”

At that time Amelia finished her conversation and she lay down on the bed.

She was a little embarrassed.

‘huh? Sleeping? Isn’t now the time to say thank you?’

I feel like I can rely on you or that I’m glad I have you.

I wasn’t expecting that kind of line but I never thought he’d just lie down and not respond.

If this happens the plan goes awry…

How can I get points?

“Amelia Jana?”

“…?”

“I was just wondering if I could give you a massage if you’re tired.”

“….”

“Oh yeah… it’s kind of like that isn’t it? “I’m sorry for disturbing you while you were resting.”

I lay down on the bed across from Amelia watching her.

She closed her eyes but there was no way she could fall asleep.

It was a time when silence flowed endlessly.

“What was your original name?”

At that time a question came to me without even blinking and I just answered honestly.

I don’t know why I suddenly became curious about his real name…

“It’s Lee Han-soo. Oh by the way this is my last name.”

Since he was discovered to be an evil spirit his real name is not that important and 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? A surprisingly common name—”

A curse came out without me knowing.

“What the fuck?”

Anyway this crossed the line.
