Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 305



Episode 305: Rain Wales (3)

Amelia is a strong woman.

She doesn’t think so because she knows how to use Aurors and she also has several precious higher essences. I have never once seen this woman afraid of anything.

But now.

“….”

Amelia’s body is trembling.

Whoever her father is in that kitchen over there she has no reason to be afraid anymore.

‘Is it trauma?’

It wasn’t something she couldn’t understand.

Because I also had a similar experience in the past.

Even though she thought it was safe in her head she hadn’t been able to ride in a car for several years and even when she was sleeping she would wake up and have to wander around the entire building to find the source if she heard a car coming from somewhere.

It is engraved in the subconscious regardless of will.

Wow!

That’s scary.

“…Are you okay?”

Amelia didn’t answer my question.

So I grabbed her trembling wrist.

“Emily.”

Only then did she come to her senses and give her answer.

“Oh I’m sorry. “I didn’t hear you… what did you say?”

“She asked if I was okay.”

“….”

Yeah it’s not okay.

It was only after the noise from her kitchen had died down that Amelia spoke again.

“…I looked like I couldn’t see it.”

“huh? “What do you mean?”

I didn’t see anything.

Even if you saw it you wouldn’t think about it because you couldn’t see it.

“Wow those bitches make me angry all the time.”

At that time a man appeared from the kitchen.

He had a somewhat disciplined and stocky body but he was about 170 cm tall.

Contrary to what I imagined the impression was very ordinary.

“Master didn’t you do something too harsh today?”

“Is it serious? They are ungrateful bitches who don’t even know how to be grateful. “Enough of the uncomfortable talk let’s have a drink.”

Her man sat down at the table of one of her guests who seemed to be her regular and she started drinking and chatting and Amelia watched him for a while from her corner seat then tried her luck. I took it off.

“That man was my adoptive father.”

“Adoptive father?”

“It’s a common story here. “Because a child who lost his parents needs a place to stay and there are many people in the city who would take such a child.”

“It’s widespread….”

Somehow I think I already know the reason.

It would never be a noble motive such as providing a home for children left alone.

Amelia said it was definitely a ‘common story’.

Most such stories are hyper-realistic.

“It’s a kind of symbiotic relationship. “Children are protected until they are old enough to work and adoptive parents can then obtain cheap labor.”

In this city all rights to the adopted child belong to the adoptive father and that right is absolute.

At least until the children grow up and become adults.

It is impossible to kill or run away from adoptive parents. Because it becomes a precedent. You will be called an ungrateful bastard and receive retaliation from others.

“…I see.”

“But in the case of my sisters it was a little better. My limbs were fine and I was so healthy that I never got sick. So I was able to avoid falling.”

“How old were you then?”

“Five years old. “Her sister was three years older than me.”

She says she wasn’t bad at first though.

Unlike when she was with her father who was injured and weak in the labyrinth she was fed properly and she was not cold.

Well even at that young age she was pampered and took on all sorts of chores…

“It wasn’t that difficult either. Because everyone lives like this anyway. “I even considered myself lucky to have an older sister to rely on.”

She says she had a vague idea of ​​what Amelia was like in those days.

We grow up like this and someday when we become adults our lives will begin from then.

“But I guess it didn’t work out.”

“…It was all because of me.”

She was around the time Amelia was nine years old.

While helping her with her work at the bar a drunkard tried to strangle Amelia.

The reason was that she spilled her food.

“She was the older sister who stepped forward at that time.”

Amelia’s older sister saw the sight while she was serving and ran into her kitchen. She then picked up her kitchen knife and slowly walked over to her drunkard’s back slitting her carotid artery precisely.

“I found out later that none of the explorers in the tavern felt anything special about her until her sister grabbed her sword and she went behind him.”

However the drunkard did not die that day.

She was treated with the potion in time and was able to save her life. But through that incident one girl’s talent was revealed to the world.

“The next day someone from Seongju came. “I was going to cover up this incident and hand over her sister.”

Surprisingly the adoptive father rejected the offer.

Then she used her own money to give the potion money and apology money to the drunkard thereby putting an end to the incident on her own.

There was one reason why I did it that way.

Because that is reasonable.

“Her older sister became a ‘herder’ from that day on.”

The adoptive father had made his decision.

She is a talented child and if she is raised well she will be able to make a lot more money than having her work in a bar.

“My sister actually had her talent. “It’s only been a year since she joined the raiding team that she got some recognition for her work.”

When things happened like that my adoptive father thought.

Since they are born with the same bloodline wouldn’t Amelia also have talent?

“It wasn’t long before she became a ‘herder’ and she was sold into a team of predators. And she was soon recognized for her talent.”

Amelia then moved on with a brief explanation of the story and she didn’t delve too deeply into it either.

Because we don’t have to ask to know what kind of life Sister Lane Wales had as a ‘herder’.

I would have just held on and endured.

The only remaining blood ties in this world rely on each other.

“Anyway that’s how it happened and now my sister and I are part of a gang of magicians and while we’re in the city we’re working in a bar and making a living.”

Amelia concluded her story with her life from her childhood to her boyhood.

“Is your curiosity about me resolved now?”

“Okay that’s enough.”

I roughly heard this next story when I was making plans.

This sister’s hopes of one day being free as adults are crushed.

It will happen about 5 months from now.

Wow-

Due to a common tragedy.

***

It was already past noon and the number of people entering the bar was slowly increasing.

“…excuse me.”

A girl approached our table.

She is a girl in her early teens with long curly hair.

There was a slight bruise on her face and her hair was messed up to cover it up making it very messy.

“Could you please bring me some more alcohol?”

This was usually what employees would say if you stayed in one store too long.

It means order more or turn off.

“….”

Amelia avoided her gaze unable to meet her girl’s eyes.

It wasn’t like she couldn’t understand her feelings.

“What is your name?”

“…Amelia Lane Wales.”

Yes it would inevitably be awkward to face her younger self.

He will feel guilty because he knows what will happen in the future.

“Let’s just leave.”

Amelia attempted to leave her seat but I stopped her.

“Wait a moment.”

Isn’t this the Amelia mite mode that I finally met?

You can’t miss this opportunity.

“Kid how old are you?”

“It’s fourteen…”

Oh if you say you were fourteen 20 years ago…

“You were thirty-four.”

As I mumbled Amelia quickly turned her head and glared at me. It seems he was annoyed that his personal information was leaked.

“Thirty-four…?”

Amelia (the mite) looked like she didn’t understand what was being said but she still kept a bright expression thinking that she was in front of a guest.

“It was like this when he smiled.”

“yes?”

“Ah I meant to smile often because it looks good.”

“Oh yes….”

While the adult Amelia had a shit-chewing expression the mite Amelia had a confused look in her eyes and didn’t know what to do.

So the joke ends here.

“Okay I’m leaving now so pay for it.”

“Oh yes!”

She didn’t think she could handle it if she continued so she quickly paid the bill and left the bar. And when she had just returned to her lodgings.

“…Maybe it’s as you said.”

Amelia who had been walking with a rotten expression the whole time muttered bitterly.

“What do you mean?”

“As I listened I remembered her” she said. “We had this conversation before.”

Oh I guess that’s why he had that shit-chewing expression on his face.

I thought she was just mad at me.

“Amelia.”

“Emily.”

“Hmm okay Emily. Would you like one more drink?”

As she said that she took out the alcohol stored in space.

They were all carried around by looters.

“I refuse. “There’s no point in drinking it anyway.”

“Because of the essence?”

“okay.”

Simply put it means that you cannot get drunk even if you drink alcohol because your poison resistance and mental resistance are high.

“Then why were you drinking at the bar earlier?”

“That’s because it looks suspicious if you don’t drink alcohol at a bar.”

“Not a word.”

“what?”

“Don’t show a straight face. What’s so difficult about just having a drink? “Wouldn’t it be nice if I drank alone?”

Amelia asked as he took out her bottle and poured it into her glass.

“…Why do you want to drink in the first place?”

“Isn’t there still more conversation to be had?”

Well then am I really going to ask you to drink alcohol?

I listened to stories about my childhood at the bar earlier but there was actually something else I wanted to hear.

Isn’t coming out now over?

“Are we still talking about this?”

“What are you pretending not to know? “We have no secrets anymore.”

“…don’t act friendly. “Because I feel bad.”

“okay? Then tell me I won’t do it. In the past when we were making plans we didn’t say anything about ‘Nivelz Nche’. “Yesterday was the first time I heard that Auril Gavis was there.”

At that time Amelia refused to communicate with me.

Although she cooperated she never thought of letting everything out and relying on each other.

However considering that he even talked about his past like this today it is safe to say that he has gained some credibility.

“What will change if I say that? “You think you can’t change anything anyway.”

Oh that’s right.

In fact that thought still remains the same.

but….

“Didn’t you cry yesterday and say it was too late to give up?”

“…I didn’t cry.”

Tsk little things will just be overlooked.

“Is that so? Anyway since you said you won’t give up I also plan to help you seriously.”

“So I will help you?”

“Well I don’t think so.”

“Does that mean there is another reason?”

I answered honestly.

“I want to owe you something.”

Amelia had a look on her face that said she didn’t understand.

“…Why?”

To put it one by one there are a ton of reasons.

First of all Amelia knows my weaknesses.

She has to somehow silence him by paying off the debt.

Also Amelia is strong.

Based on her experience she seems to have a good heart and has a lot of experience so she can be of help in some ways.

So to cut it short…

“Honestly our first meeting was a bit weird but I like you.”

“…what?”

“Oh don’t misunderstand that. “It doesn’t mean I like you as the opposite sex.”

“Misunderstanding… I didn’t do anything like that.”

“If that’s the case I’m glad.”

Hmm hmm I cleared my throat and spoke.

“Anyway now I know who you are. If you owe a debt you will definitely want to repay it. So if I can I want to save your sister too. “Then I will do you any favor.”

“Boo please? “No what kind of favor are you planning to ask me?”

Amelia looked at me with her wary eyes and she stepped back.

I wonder if someone is going to eat it?

If I keep doing this I’m going to cause some strange misunderstandings.

“Amelia Lane Wales.”

I took a step closer and opened my mouth.

Originally I didn’t plan on revealing my greed this early but…

Well it would be okay to apply saliva beforehand.

“If I succeed in rescuing your sister and go back to the original timeline I can solve all the restrictions.”

“…What if we solve it?”

“Then join my clan.”
