    Episode 341: Snowball (5)

    Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.

    At first it was just a rumor but as time went by even the royal family acknowledged it.

    Of course it wasn’t very difficult to refute this.

    Just create a place where you can prove it and use Auril Gavis’ gift there. Then I can regain my reputation and my status as Baron Yandel.

    but….

    ‘It’s a bit strange just looking at cancer’

    The more I think about it the more uncomfortable it becomes.

    After all the dead have the right to immunity.

    It’s not really like that it’s just moral.

    There is no point in asking a dead person about their sins so they don’t dig deep and people don’t pay much attention.

    But it actually happened.

    There is a rumor that a person who has already died was actually an evil spirit and there is a ridiculous case where the royal family admits it.

    ‘I need to take care of myself for a while…’

    Again this is not natural.

    It doesn’t even seem like God’s will a coincidence upon coincidence.

    The reason the rumor spread is because someone wanted something.

    It is more realistic to believe that the reason the royal family acknowledged this was because there was a good reason for it.

    But the problem is…

    ‘I have no idea what the reason is.’

    There is not enough information.

    Therefore it is dangerous to just go to the royal family and stand up for verification by saying ‘I came back alive.’

    Because not everyone will welcome the news of my survival.

    There may be people who accept this with such regret that they want to make my survival a disaster that never happened.

    If that guy were a royal family I would just be dead.

    ‘…get to the verification table after at least finding out how things are going.’

    Soon I decided on my stance for the time being.

    First information was collected without informing anyone of his or her return.

    Clearing my false name and regaining my nobility and reputation will be the next task.

    “after….”

    After gathering my thoughts to some extent I took a long breath and checked on Erwen who was lying on the bed.

    It seemed like I would have no choice but to be indebted to him for a while.

    Right now I don’t even have money to buy clothes let alone a place to stay. In the first place it was impossible for Tina to disguise her identity with her body and collect information.

    To be honest today’s appearance was very burdensome but…

    ‘But if you look at the way he stretched out after just drinking that much his old self has completely disappeared…’

    That was when I thought about Erwen who was sleeping like an angel.

    “How long are you going to look out the window?”

    Erwen’s eyes opened.

    “As if someone was waiting.”

    uh…? Weren’t you sleeping because you were drunk?

    ***

    The night when the calm moonlight felt particularly peaceful passed and as soon as the next morning dawned Erwen put on her outer clothes and prepared to leave.

    She warned me again and again that her heart was not at ease.

    “You must never go outside while I am away. There is a way to find out if you take even one step. Okay…?”

    She was a little curious as to what the ‘method’ was but she just said she knew. She nodded and asked where she was going.

    “Are you going back to the Holy Land?”

    “yes. “I have to stop by.”

    She was told that she was of pure blood from the Fairy tribe and that she had also made a contract with the Spirit King.

    He also has tribal duties and responsibilities—

    “Because I need money in the future.”

    “…huh?”

    “I’ll go and get rid of everything I need to get rid of and find a better house within today. “This place is… a bit like that isn’t it?”

    “…Where on earth are you going?”

    “No… I don’t hate it either… But it’s better if you start from a better place…”

    … She wasn’t sure but she decided that this inn had many shortcomings to make it her hideout.

    “Then… will I come back?”

    “Oh wait a minute. “Can I ask you one thing?”

    “yes? ask? “Would you like me to buy you some meat?”

    “That’s not it… No I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy meat. Anyway I have a different request.”

    Afterwards I asked Erwen to stop by her bank and check her safe. And if there was anything in there I asked him to bring it to me without asking questions.

    “all right. See you later mister!”

    Erwen readily accepted my request and left.

    It was a completely unreliable appearance.

    ‘I’ll bring it to you properly…?’

    I felt anxious for some reason but there was nothing I could do about it.

    If I go out there will definitely be someone who recognizes my identity.

    ‘Still I’m glad Amelia came back first.’

    Last night I was shocked to realize that the current time zone had exceeded the safe’s storage period of 22 years but fortunately Amelia seemed to have taken appropriate action.

    Otherwise she wouldn’t have left such a will.

    [Choose gold….]

    Maybe they should have gone to the store in advance and extended the storage period.

    She truly is a trustworthy woman.

    ‘I saw her yesterday and it seems like she’s grown more since then.’

    The summoning radius of the clone extracted through [Self-replication] is 5m.

    And after summoning the range of motion is 100m.

    But just looking at the cancer it didn’t seem like Amelia’s body was around at that time.

    Simply put it means that she has acquired her new abilities.

    For reference according to the DB there are a total of three synergy skills that meet the above conditions.

    However considering that Amelia listened to my advice in the past it is highly likely that she ate what I recommended….

    [Dual rule].

    It would be more correct to say that she gave her body independence after consuming the essence of Twin Hydra.

    The shortcomings of other synergy skills have been fully explained.

    ‘Okay let me get some sleep….’

    She was very tired because she had spent most of last night’s sleep. So she went to bed and closed her eyes.

    And how long has she passed.

    “Old man wake up.”

    “Ah… are you here…?”

    When she opened her eyes she saw Erwen.

    The sun was slowly setting outside her window.

    She looked at her watch and saw that about 8 hours had passed….

    “Did anything happen outside?”

    “Are you… worried?”

    She wasn’t she was sleeping.

    “Of course.”

    “…Hehe this is kind of good.”

    “Hmm so what happened when you went out?”

    “Oh that? Fortunately she had money saved up and was able to find a suitable home! Since I didn’t have time there weren’t any parts I didn’t like but don’t worry! “Because I properly repaired that part.”

    “okay? “Good.”

    Since the house was nice I roughly ended the topic at this point and checked what I was most curious about.

    “But… what about the bank? “What happened there?”

    “Ah… bank…?”

    Somewhat quite a subtle reaction.

    Watching this made me nervous for no reason.

    Did you happen to be unable to open the safe?

    Did you give me the correct password?

    No way… Did Amelia not get an extension?

    A time when all kinds of scenarios were running through her mind.

    “sleep.”

    Erwen handed me a piece of paper crumpled into a ball from her pocket.

    “uh….”

    She took it over in a haphazard manner but didn’t understand it.

    “What is this…?”

    “The stuff in the safe. “You asked me to bring it to you right?”

    “Was there any hammer there? Just this size—”

    “There was nothing like that. “All that was there was that letter.”

    “…letter?”

    Only then did I realize the identity of the paper ball and carefully unfolded it.

    Although the sender was not written it was not difficult to tell who wrote the letter.

    Amelia Lane Wales.

    “…Can I read it for a moment?”

    “as you please.”

    After asking Erwen’s understanding she read the letter as quickly as she could. It was full of wrinkles but there was no problem reading it.

    To briefly summarize the contents it was as follows.

    I’ve taken some steps but I’m leaving a letter in case something goes wrong and we can’t meet.

    The safe was extended.

    So leave your current location here and I will go there.

    Oh and finally.

    [Crowl’s Demon Crusher…]

    Unfortunately the contents of the letter ended here.

    The last sentence was not completed because the letter was crumpled and torn.

    ‘You’re missing the most important thing!’

    I asked Erwen if he knew what was missing but the only answer I got was that he didn’t know.

    You said you only read that part so briefly that you don’t remember it?

    ‘My hammer…!’

    I was heartbroken wondering if something had happened while I was gone but I decided not to think about anything negative as much as possible.

    Yes isn’t that a future that hasn’t been observed yet?

    Maybe Amelia simply has it.

    Even if that’s not the case if you just write a reply and send it you’ll quickly find out what’s going on.

    “Hey Erwen….”

    After burning the letter to maintain security she called Erwen. She was thinking of writing a reply and asking if she could put it in the safe.

    but….

    “are you okay. It’s not your fault that you received her love letter. “It’s just because he’s a good guy so what can we do about it?”

    “huh?”

    “Oh just in case I disposed of the safe.”

    “uh….”

    “It’s not a shame right? “She can’t contact that girl.”

    I was in a situation where I had to be angry and ask why she did something like that. And I was a person who knew how to get angry when I needed to get angry.

    Yes it must have been like that…

    “Is that possible?”

    For some reason negative words came out without me realizing it.

    It was an instinctive action.

    If I were to give a belated reason I could say it was because I was concerned about falling out with Erwen.

    “Hehe it’s like that too isn’t it?”

    Anyway from then on she ate the food that Erwen had packed for her and as she did so night fell.

    The best time to activate the power of the dark spirit.

    Just like yesterday we moved to the house that Erwen had saved disappearing as a dark spirit.

    “You… got this in one day?”

    A single-family home with a high wall and a private yard.

    “I told you. “I have a lot of money.”

    Even so to get a mansion like this in one day I bought it at full price without even bargaining…

    ‘If this is the case wouldn’t it be okay to just buy a new Demon Crusher?’

    With that in mind I followed Erwen into the mansion.

    and….

    Cooung.

    The thick iron door closed the lights in the mansion came on brightly and I realized.

    “….”

    There were no windows.

    No to be exact all the windows were covered with thick boards. It was dark from the outside so I thought the curtains were just drawn…

    “Hey… Erwen…?”

    “yes?”

    “Why the window…?”

    “Oh this? “It would be difficult for someone to look in from the outside…”

    Erwen grinned and continued her words.

    “There’s no need to go out anymore anyway right?”

    Gulp.

    ***

    “No matter what… Isn’t it a bit much to just hammer down the boards…? “If people’s gaze is a problem there are curtains and the fence outside is very high…”

    Feeling like there was something wrong I hurriedly gave a good reason but it didn’t make any sense to Erwen.

    “No I don’t know much. “What a good… no dangerous situation this is!”

    “….”

    “I’m not just talking about you. “What happens if I get caught hiding you?”

    “…It’s going to be a big problem.”

    It was such a valid statement that I had no choice but to agree.

    Not only is it difficult but you could also lose all the foundation you’ve worked hard to build up until now.

    But did I gain confidence in my reaction?

    “Is that so? So this is an unavoidable measure! Because you’re a troublemaker. “You mean I have no choice but to manage it?”

    Erwen’s voice grew louder.

    Of course only for a little while.

    “Oh what should I do… Look at your shoulders drooping….”

    As he helplessly lowered his head Erwen stamped his feet like someone who had seen a sad scene and then carefully proposed a compromise.

    “It may be hard but cheer up… I’ll let you take a walk in the garden sometimes at night. yes?”

    “Are you sure…?”

    “yes! “Of course that’s assuming I’m next to you.”

    “….”

    That’s how her life in seclusion began.

    And time passes….

    “The character’s soul resonates and is drawn to a specific world.”

    It was midnight on the 15th.
