    Episode 328: Ouroboros (3)

    Some people will consider it foolish.

    This is a world where people are bound to die someday and everyone experiences loss at least once.

    An all too common tragedy.

    Some may be surprised.

    That the woman who seemed to have no blood or tears was heading towards her destruction unable to overcome the death of her family.

    Some people will consider it weak.

    Over the past 20 years he has not been able to overcome something that everyone else could overcome alone.

    Even Amelia herself felt that it was not wrong.

    but….

    Phew!

    Nevertheless my sister would definitely say this.

    It must have been very difficult for her to sweep her younger brother’s hair which she always took a lot of care of when she was young.

    Leaving her sorrow behind.

    Even after she reprimanded her asking why she did such a thing she would have hugged her tightly and told her that she had worked hard.

    Even though everyone in the world feels uncomfortable with her and some people point fingers at her calling her a cold-hearted woman who does not know emotions.

    Because to her older sister she is just a tearful little brother.

    Because she was the only person in this world who could treat her like that.

    She said yes she must have done that….

    “sorry….”

    “Who are you apologizing to?”

    Amelia closed her eyes feeling the pain radiating from her abdomen.

    “Sister….”

    In the end she didn’t achieve anything.

    I had been building up my strength for 20 years in preparation for today but it was not enough to overcome that man.

    She tried to talk to him to clear up the misunderstanding that she was related to the Order of the Rose but he wouldn’t even listen.

    Eventually a battle broke out and she desperately bided her time to allow her sister to escape.

    But that stops here.

    “What are you looking at?”

    Her man sneered and twisted her sword.

    A burning pain erupted from the area of ​​her injury.

    “Do you think I’ll let him run away?”

    The vivid pain brought her mind back to reality.

    “You should see what I had to go through.”

    Soon Amelia’s body fell as she pulled out her sword and her man grabbed her hair and dragged her forward.

    What would happen next was very clear.

    [Because I can tell you what it feels like to lose.]

    He will harm her sister in front of his eyes.

    Just like that day.

    Clap!

    With each step his heart pounds.

    Her consciousness became blurred and the scene before her changed every time she opened her eyes.

    “As expected I couldn’t go far.”

    The man’s mutterings.

    “Oh sister….”

    “Go first! “This is my sister…!”

    A conversation that also happened that day.

    “Amelia…!”

    A sword aimed at my childhood self.

    and….

    Phew!

    The older sister hugging her younger sibling.

    “Sister…!!”

    The man’s sword pierced her sister’s chest just like that.

    ‘In the end nothing could be changed….’

    Amelia finally realized.

    This is the end of 20 years of hope.

    So the ending of those two living happily ever after exists only in fairy tales.

    “That’s a nice look.”

    In reality only a stupid and weak human woman was standing there.

    Phew!

    Soon her man pulled out the knife that was stuck in her sister’s body. And at the same time my consciousness faded and the scene changed again.

    A dark sewer with a bloody smell.

    Quaaaaang-!

    With a roar that filled the passage.

    “Why are you even crying?”

    I felt warmth on my cold skin.

    “It’s not even over yet.”

    It’s not over?

    What on earth does this mean?

    I couldn’t figure it out.

    but….

    “It was a lot of hard work. “Now leave it to me and get some rest.”

    With that one word the tension in her body was relieved and her eyes closed.

    “When you wake up it will all be over.”

    It was the last scene her consciousness allowed.

    ***

    I cried out loud as Amelia lost her consciousness.

    “What are you doing! Take her sister and run away!”

    Amelia in childhood.

    In short it was a shout out to Ngmelia.

    “iced coffee…!”

    Yes Melia seemed a little confused by my instructions for a moment but then she wrapped her small body around her sister and started running.

    Well then I guess I can leave the next one to the old man…

    I shifted my gaze.

    “you…!”

    Luchen Prague was seen looking around her unable to hide her feelings of embarrassment. I think they’re checking to see if the ‘Knight of Light’ came with them…

    ‘This guy is really funny too.’

    “If that’s the case just jump out. “Why did you come all the way here to pick up something to eat?”

    He didn’t answer my question.

    They just avoid eye contact with a strange expression.

    “You… did you end up here after wandering around looking for a way out?”

    I asked this question just in case even though I thought it could possibly be so.

    To this he gave a short answer.

    “…fate just led me.”

    “Huh you’re talking like fate.”

    I couldn’t help but laugh but when I thought about it again I realized that the term ‘fate’ wasn’t really wrong.

    If things go as planned no matter how hard you struggle how is that any different from fate?

    While I was thinking about that he asked me a question.

    “Anyway… did you come alone?”

    “okay.”

    Because I wasn’t even friends with the Knight of Light to begin with.

    Since it wasn’t something to hide he just said yes and then asked what he was curious about.

    “Hey but let me ask you one more question. “Why are you so obsessed with this guy?”

    “…You don’t need to know.”

    “That’s harsh.”

    While saying that I slightly moved my gaze to check on Amelia. The injury was recovering so quickly that it could be distinguished with the naked eye.

    This was thanks to the fact that I had torn one more bond scroll before storming in.

    To put it simply it means that since she became a three-person group Amelia also became unaffected by the [Breaking Spirit].

    ‘She would have gone a little easier if she had been awake at all.’

    It’s a bit disappointing but what can you do?

    For her companion recruitment rights (SSR) it wasn’t even that much trouble.

    Okay so…

    “Get out of the way. “If she only gives away that girl then you —”

    “What are you saying silence one tool?”

    I clapped my hands.

    “Stop talking nonsense and attack me.”

    This would be the last battle during time travel.

    ***

    “Hehehehehehehe….”

    A girl running down a sewer passage let out hot breath. Her muscles heated as they were showed no sign of cooling down and an even more intense heat radiated from behind her her wet back.

    “Uh sister… Is it okay…?”

    Even though she was running with all her might to the point where it was difficult for her to breathe Amelia continued to talk to Laura who was carrying her.

    “….”

    No answer came back.

    But the more she did the more she tried to ignore her ominousness and continued to move her feet. But was it because she was running at her physical limit carrying Laura on her back?

    “Ugh…!”

    Amelia who was running at a cantering speed lost her balance and fell. It wasn’t that her foot was caught on something it was simply that her legs were weak.

    “Oh sister! are you okay? huh?”

    Amelia fell and looked at Laura’s condition before she twisted her ankle. She wondered if something had gone wrong when she fell and got hurt.

    “Oh Melia….”

    At that time Laura’s voice came out of Laura’s mouth as she came to her senses from shock.

    “Oh sister! It’s okay! There’s not much left now. Don’t say—”

    “alone….”

    The voice came out weakly and could not continue to the end but Amelia could tell what had to be said next.

    She’s telling me to leave her alone and go alone.

    If she had the energy to talk she would have added all kinds of reasons such as I’m already tired or it would be more reasonable for you to live.

    but….

    “I’m sorry I don’t know what you’re saying.”

    Amelia pretended not to hear and carefully supported Laura’s limp body.

    Laura’s body which was 15 cm tall felt particularly small.

    Perhaps because of her mood she seemed to feel lighter than before.

    There’s no way she’s regained her stamina now.

    “blood….”

    It was because of the blood shed.

    The weight of Laura’s life that had filled her body disappeared and her body became lighter.

    Amelia pressed her sister’s body against the wall and tore off her clothes to apply pressure to her wounds.

    She then poured all of her potions she had.

    I was anxious at the thought of having to leave that place but it was something I should have done right away.

    ‘Why am I so stupid….’

    I felt a sense of shame.

    If she was the older sister who was always calm she would have done exactly what she had to do even in this situation.

    “Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!…!

    As her wounds began to heal from her potion Laura squirmed as if she was in pain.

    There were thick veins on her forehead and on her neck.

    “Oh sister! Please be patient…”

    Amelia carried Laura’s body again.

    However she was just trying to get up.

    Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

    The passage shook with a loud noise.

    and….

    Too doo doo doo.

    The ceiling collapsed and rocks fell.

    At the same time Amelia’s body fell forward.

    It was because someone pushed her from behind.

    Kuung-!

    Amelia who fell in front of her hurriedly turned her back.

    Then she saw her older sister.

    It was such an unrealistic sight.

    The scene where her beloved sister’s lower body is crushed by a huge rock.

    “Amelia….”

    “Oh sister….”

    Amelia approached her like she was possessed.

    Then Laura shook her hand away.

    “What are you doing!”

    At the same time Amelia screamed her voice.

    Laura’s helpless half-open eyes turned to her.

    “There was a time when I resented you… uh.”

    “Oh I know. Ah even my sister would have said that. Anyway now that I know stop being so stubborn—”

    “Listen…!”

    At Laura’s shout Amelia pursed her mouth.

    Her voice sounded like boiling phlegm and it wasn’t loud enough to be called a shout but for some reason the force of it felt like I couldn’t refuse it and my body froze.

    Tuk.

    Laura placed her hand on Amelia’s cheek.

    And unlike before she spoke in a very gentle voice.

    “You’ve been waiting for it.”

    “….”

    “It’s what you’ve always wanted….”

    At those words something in her flowed down Amelia’s cheek.

    I couldn’t tell if it was sweat or tears.

    But one thing is certain.

    Exciting-!

    Amelia’s heart began to beat as if it were broken.

    Maybe she knew it in the end no matter how hard she tried to deny it.

    “Why why… are you saying that…”

    In Laura’s words she is missing herself.

    As if this moment could be the last.

    “Oh sister… don’t give up. You also took the potion right? Now you just have to go a little further… Don’t worry about stones. I’ll clean it up soon. “Because it will definitely happen… huh?”

    In response to Amelia’s plea Laura pursed her lips with a painful expression.

    Of course it was only for a moment.

    “Forget all the painful memories of her time here.”

    “….”

    “A normal life… is finally starting for you too.”

    Laura smiled brightly forcing her twitching jaw muscles up.

    and….

    “…!”

    It happened in an instant.

    Tuk.

    Laura reached out her hand and pulled out her dagger that was strapped to Amelia’s waist. She then sheathed her dagger.

    On her own neck.

    Phew!

    “Oh no…!”

    Amelia hastily pulled out her sword.

    Then she sprinkled what little of her potion was left on her wound and closed it with both hands to stop the bleeding even a little.

    but….

    “Oh no. “No no no…”

    That wasn’t enough.

    The blood that had been flowing out stopped.

    Cheeeeeeeek.

    The same was true for the blood which reacted to the potion by making a boiling sound.

    The warmth flowing through her fingertips disappeared.

    The blood was sticky and no longer hot.

    “Ahh… ah ah….”

    Amelia realized.

    My sister is no longer here.

    “Aaaahhh!!!”

    Amelia screamed like a person who had lost her mind and hugged Laura’s upper body.

    And that moment.

    The ceiling collapsed once more sending out rocks.

    Deddudeud-!

    Amelia saw this but she did not avoid it.

    She was going to stay like this until the end.

    But the cruel world did not allow even this.

    “…Tsk!”

    Her body fell backwards as if someone was pulling her by the back of her neck.

    Kuung-!

    Her vision shakes as the back of her head hits the wall.

    In her fading consciousness Amelia looked at her sister buried in the wreckage.

    It was in the meantime.

    Trudging.

    A popular rumor I heard somewhere.

    Amelia reflexively turned her head in the direction of the sound.

    An old man was walking.

    “who….”

    At her Amelia’s mumbling the old man looked at her without any change in his expression. However if you look deeply at her she seems like someone who is worried somewhere.

    After that moment of silence.

    “Wow there are so many demands.”

    Soon the old man sighed and opened her mouth.

    “Auril Gavis. “That’s Nobu’s name.”
