Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 330



Episode 330: Ouroboros (5)

While the dazed sensation blooming in the back of the head spreads throughout the body.

Tuk.

I woke up to the sound of something falling.

When I checked it was a fragment of a record.

I was definitely holding on tight even when the light exploded but why is it falling from there?

“….”

I quickly walked over and picked it up.

It was only then that I realized there was more on the floor.

“clothes…?”

It was a robe made using high-quality fabric.

Well the important thing now is not the material but the owner.

It is not just a high-quality robe but the robe that Auril Garvis was wearing. It’s on the floor.

At the spot where the old man was standing just a moment ago.

It was as if my body had been sucked somewhere and this was all that was left.

“no way….”

I looked down at the record fragment in my hand.

“This is what worked on this old man…?”

Slowly I began to understand the situation.

I was momentarily dazed by the unexpected results but…

It was Auril Gavis not me that the record fragment reacted to.

‘Oh I can’t organize it.’

I struggled to find my composure and started over from the beginning.

There were two cases.

First of all Auril Gavis like me has received the ‘call of the times’.

And the second…

[Have you ever used the Record Fragment Stone?]

[I have used it before.]

Auril Gavis had already used the record fragment stone.

In this case it means that the old man was living in this era after receiving a calling.

Then he met me and had something to do… So after completing his necessary ‘role’ he went back to his original timeline.

‘Is it okay to understand that in the former case it means going to the past and in the latter case it means the opposite?’

Naturally it was organized in my head like that.

but….

‘No it’s still too early to make conclusions.’

I realized the lack of information and changed my mind.

I don’t know much about the record fragments.

So it is wise to keep all possibilities open.

Isn’t it possible that the ‘call of the times’ doesn’t only happen in the past?

There may also be a calling from the future.

thus….

‘I’ll think about this later…’

I put the record fragment back into subspace and picked up the robe that had fallen on the floor.

And I rummaged around excitedly.

‘Rooting…!’

Isn’t it a drop item from Auril Gavis?

There’s definitely a chance that he’s carrying something interesting…

‘Are you kidding me?’

After rummaging around I couldn’t find anything other than the robe. Just ordinary socks and shoes and even luxurious panties made of pure white silk.

“Ahhhh!”

I was wondering something so I realized that the purpose of the cloth bag was underwear and threw it on the floor.

I got annoyed.

‘What kind of old man doesn’t have anything?’

I had high expectations because he was an old man with the aura of the final boss.

There is no such thing as empty soup….

“ah.”

Belatedly I remembered the scene where Auril Gavis took water out of subspace and drank it.

At the time I thought it was just a subspace ring…

“It must have been a subordinate subspace.”

A subordinate subspace that only top level wizards can use.

In this case there is no real object because there is a direct connection to the soul such as through tattooing on the body.

‘Oh no wait a minute….’

So does this mean that if you use dependent subspace you can take the equipment you collected here back to the original time?

I suddenly had that thought but it wasn’t enough to shout Eureka.

That’s because I’m not a wizard.

Unlike magic tools subordinate subspace can only be opened by using the magician’s own magic power.

‘Hah then this is also nonsense….’

I sighed and shook off my regrets.

Even if you get angry and express your regrets not only will nothing change but isn’t there something you need to do right now?

‘Let’s meet Amelia first.’

I picked up Auril Garvis’s belongings again put them in subspace and then moved to the sewer again.

Looking at the arms they are ordinary clothes but I decided to check them one more time in case I missed something.

Clap clap clap clap-

As I was going back the way I came five or six corpses appeared.

‘This is where the infighting took place.’

I rooted everything because I didn’t have the sense to leave behind unclaimed equipment.

Since they were all trying to migrate to the surface they had expandable bags and subspace rings so there were no inventory problems.

‘Wow how much will it cost if I sell all of this?’

I used all my shoulders neck and arms to carry my bag and then started walking.

However Amelia was not there when we arrived soon.

If you look at the traces of the fight with the leader this must be where he passed out.

Where did he go in the meantime?

There was no need to worry for long.

‘It must be there….’

I couldn’t hide my bitterness and quickened my pace.

And how long has it been?

“….”

The ceiling collapsed and more than half of the passageway was blocked.

I saw Amelia clearing away the debris.

Her hands were moving so vigorously that she didn’t even notice that I was nearby.

“Aaaahhh!”

Why are you suddenly yelling again? awfully.

The sight of her holding her head with both hands was scary so she quickly approached and grabbed Amelia’s wrist.

Tuk.

The moment his skin touched hers Amelia shuddered and turned her head.

“…Yandel?”

She looked surprised when she saw my face and immediately tried to shake off my hand.

“Let go. “I have to find something…”

what.

“Even if you look you won’t find anything.”

“what?”

I smiled.

“So didn’t you say it before? “When I wake up it will all be over.”

Despite my words Amelia had a blank expression.

I guess you don’t understand what I’m saying…

“It’s okay just follow me.”

Well it would be faster to see it with your own eyes.

***

When she came to her senses she was filled with despair.

She was alone in this dark sewer and her familiar silence meant it was all over.

‘Okay is it all over?…’

Amelia got up and walked.

She had somewhere to go.

Because she couldn’t do it that day.

[Forget all the painful memories of her time here.]

[A normal life… is finally starting for you.]

She had to leave her sister’s body behind.

When time passed and she came to look for it her older sister’s body had already disappeared. Did you say that all the corpses in the sewer were removed by the workers who were restoring the passage?

For her this became one of her limitations.

Therefore…

“I have to find it.”

You have to find it.

Even if it is just a body that is already dead.

It must be found and resolved.

Not leaving her sister’s body in a dirty sewer.

If she returned to her past after 20 years she would be able to do that much. No maybe that was all that was allowed from the beginning.

“Tsk tsk tsk…!”

Soon Amelia arrived at the place where the tragedy occurred that day and removed all the rocks she could find.

She was so desperate that she looked like she was half out of her mind.

And it wasn’t actually wrong.

“Why…”

Her older sister is nowhere to be seen.

It must be somewhere around here.

Could it be that even this is not allowed for me?

“Aaaahhh!”

For the first time in a really long time she screamed out loud.

She was able to endure a short moan as her flesh was cut and her bones were shattered but this time she couldn’t.

It felt as if her heart was being ripped out.

Tuk.

At that moment human warmth touched her wrist.

“…Yandel?”

She was a very familiar person as I had seen her every day for the past six months.

“Let go. “I have to find something…”

She immediately tried to shake it off but as usual the barbarian didn’t let go of his hand. And he forced her body to stand up saying something incomprehensible to her rebellious self.

and….

“This is….”

After walking for a while the place we arrived at was on the ground.

Lapdonia a huge city where there is no place beyond the reach of the royal family.

“Oh my eyes….”

The city in the middle of the day was so dazzling to her eyes as she emerged from the dark sewer.

However before her eyes could adjust to the environment the barbarian led her by the wrist and headed somewhere.

“Where are you going?”

“That’s because you won’t go there if you go there.”

Amelia scanned the surroundings with her eyes even as she was guided by her strong strength.

A pedestrian passing by on the street.

Smiling children and parents.

A merchant touting customers and pure white marble reflected in the sunlight.

It was once a place she had longed for and longed for.

A world full of warm sunlight and unlike Noark where you can live a normal life.

Of course she knows now.

The earth is not a place like paradise.

There are beasts with even greater malice than Noark and this is a place where common tragedies occur every day.

But still.

“At least once….”

I wanted to see it at least once.

The scene of herself and her sister living normally sometimes crying and sometimes laughing in this city.

“huh? “What now…”

“Yandel go alone here. I will find something below—”

“Ah so you’re saying I won’t find it even if I look for it?”

Amelia stopped in her tracks and the barbarian looked at her as if he was frustrated.

And she said.

“You’re alive your sister.”

“…what?”

Alive?

But how…?

“I’ll explain that later so why don’t you just follow me?”

The barbarian continued to lead her through her confusion and she did not resist him.

She didn’t have the presence of mind to do that.

How long has it been like that?

“I didn’t hear where the aid station was so I searched for it for a long time.”

Amelia arrived at an aid station located on the ground.

Then after explaining her impressions to the staff she went to the hospital room.

Grumble.

As she opened her door the figure of the girl lying on the bed next to the window came into Amelia’s field of vision.

Warm sunlight was shining through the window.

“Oh sister….”

An unrealistic landscape that I thought I would never see in my life.

Amelia approached the bed like someone possessed.

And then he held her hand.

She could feel her heart beating against their skin.

“How did this happen?”

In response to Amelia’s question the barbarian told her what had happened so far.

Deal with Auril Garvis.

In order to eliminate the contradiction he used the initial form of Lethe’s Blessing to erase his memory and even disguised it as a carriage accident.

“Your sister will probably remember nothing when she wakes up. “He will live his life thinking that her name on her identity card is his own.”

“iced coffee….”

I see

“Don’t be too sad though. If we go back 20 years there will be no more problems. “Why not just go back reveal her identity and become friends with her?”

My heart was pounding.

Only then did it feel real.

“Besides she said she did something to restore her memories of losing the dragon cub in the past? When we get back let’s find a way together. “How can she get her lost memories back?”

You really did it.

This man.

“huh? So please say something. It makes people anxious for no reason…”

Amelia chuckled involuntarily at the sight of her stamping her feet despite her miraculous accomplishments.

“That’s it.”

“huh? “It’s done?”

“It means you don’t have to worry about it anymore. “I won’t ever try to restore her sister’s memories…”

“Huh? “Why?”

Amelia raised the corners of her mouth at his question.

She didn’t usually smile so the movements of her facial muscles were very awkward.

but….

“Because it’s better not to remember.”

Her future sister will be different.

She will begin the life she has longed for.

And her painful memories will only get in the way of her life.

Okay so…

“…Goodbye sister.”

I’m fine.

Even if not with her sister.

It’s far from the normal life I wanted.

Even though it may still be awkward to even raise the corner of her mouth.

Her sister wouldn’t have anything to worry about.

“Let’s go Barbarian.”

“It’s not a barbarian it’s a Yandel.”

“Yes Yandel.”

Because I’m not alone anymore.
