STGB Chapter 331

Episode 331 To the Future (1)

Sunlight and cool breeze seeping through the bars.

The exclamation comes out naturally as I am drinking rum with the roasted meat packed from the store in front of me.

“That’s it.”

How long has it been since you enjoyed your daily life?

Maybe it’s because I’ve only been in dull Noirk for a few months, but thanks to that gap, my satisfaction is ridiculous.

Well, that’s not to say there isn’t anything to worry about.

‘By the way… It’s already been a week.’

Auril Gavis Rühenprague Jerome the Knight of Light.

This much time has passed since the day when all sorts of giants came out of nowhere, and he was completely out of his mind.

And…

“Ehh.”

I am still at this age.

“When is this guy going to be used?”

As a habit, I took out the fragments of the record and messed around with them, but there are good points because it was like buying time.

At least you can afford to dispose of your equipment.

‘There are a few things I can guess why this guy is still silent…’ Anyway,

for that reason, I decided to take a break for the time being and found a lodging on the ground.

Oh, by the way, there is only one room.

I was going to split it in two, but Amelia came back and scolded me for not having a reason to do that… I

honestly got it.

After all, they stuck together like one body for several months, right?

It was far too late to discuss the distinction between men and women.

“Are you drinking again?”

“Oh, are you here?”

“You should have told me to lock the door when I’m not there?”

Amelia, who had been out, entered the door and habitually threw her coat on the coat hanger.

I didn’t bother to ask where I had been since dawn.

Because that’s obvious.

Today, I must have been secretly stalking my sister to see if she was doing well.

“As soon as you come, you nag.”

“I’m not nagging…”

I quickly changed the subject.

“So, how’s Laura?”

Perhaps because of the strong medicinal effect of the prototype of Lethe’s Blessing, Laura only woke up three days ago. And while being diagnosed with amnesia by the priest who came to serve at the relief center, he came to believe that the name on the identity card on his chest was himself…

“It’s not Laura, it’s Shannon Elura.”

“Oh, yes.”

For reference, the name Shannon Elau is new to us. Apparently, he was a bit reluctant to use the identity card the old man gave him.

Amelia had a hard time exchanging the ID card she had received in one day with the one in the patient’s belongings box and correcting the patient’s record at the relief center one by one.

“So what is he like?”

“Unfortunately, it seems that the priest who came as a volunteer paid attention. Today, I started learning letters for the first time, and the progress was very fast. The priest seems to think that is a sign that memories will return…

” Mara. It won’t be like that.”

“I’m not worried about that part. It’s just that the other person is from the Church, so it takes attention.”

At first, I wondered what he meant, but I quickly understood.

“For integers?”

“Yes. It would look suspicious for a child who is not even an adult to have the essence.”

If left alone, he would probably live his whole life without knowing that the power of the essence resides in his body.

As for stats, you can just say that your body is innately healthy, and since you don’t have memory, you won’t be able to manifest your superpowers for the rest of your life.

But…

“Certainly, this makes me a little uneasy too. To think it caught the eyes of a priest who had just left the service.”

If you live a life close to the denomination, things will be different.

As it is a place with the power to delete essences, there is a possibility that the existence of essences will be revealed.

“…… Losing memory is a rare thing, so it seems to have unexpectedly garnered attention.”

“Then what are you going to do now?”

“It’s not like I can forcefully remove it.”

Amelia licked her lips bitterly and said she would just keep watching for the time being, and I agreed.

And with this, this topic ends here.

“By the way, why don’t you change your tone a bit?”

As I slipped away, Amelia looked at me warily.

“……The way you talk?”

“Isn’t it too hard to talk with colleagues?”

“colleague?”

“What’s that expression you’re hearing for the first time? You’re probably trying to come out like you forgot an appointment with me—” ”

No, I remember it. I just… wanted to see what it had to do with the way I spoke.”

“Well, actually, there is no connection. I was just curious about you, who speaks in a different way.”

“…what?”

At my words, Amelia stared at me as if she was pitiful, then let out a deep sigh.

“You… really…”

“You might be wondering why? Judging from the way you spoke when you were young, I don’t think you’ve been like this since then.”

“That’s…”

Amelia blurted out.

It was an unexpected reaction.

In the past, he would have been stern, asking if he was just ignoring me or making fun of himself.

“I’ll try my best to talk.”

“uh?”

“No, I’ll… I’ll try. Is this enough? No, it’s okay… Huh?”

What will happen

I was genuinely appalled.

That was when I couldn’t say anything.

“Hmm… I guess ‘Are you okay?’ sounds softer than ‘Is it okay?’. Which one do you think is better?”

Amelia began to ponder her tone with serious eyes.

“Wait a minute. Are you trying to change your tone too easily?”

“Isn’t it you Yandel who told me to change?”

“It’s like that, but it’s like that anyway.”

“Don’t get me wrong. Actually, it’s a problem I’ve been thinking about lately.”

“Is that the problem you were thinking of?”

“…If you were my sister, that’s what you would have hoped for. Besides, since you said that too, it must be true that I had a problem.”

Ah…….

‘The atmosphere was so gloomy, so I played a little joke before moving on to the main topic.’

I quickly rectified the situation before it was too late.

“Thinking about it again, I don’t think it’s a matter of forcibly changing it. What’s important about the tone? The important thing about cancer is the essence of a person.”

At first, Amelia showed a lukewarm response to those words, but she nodded when she said that it was okay to trust her because she had a history of falling in love with Misha.

“I guess the two of you had a relationship like that.”

“Ah…”

Why did I say this?

It’s something I haven’t told anyone.

“Hmm, since you’ve never found fault with that way of speaking, I’m sure you’re not just saying it. I get it. Let’s put the matter of speech on hold for the time being.”

“…Yes, I thought well.”

It was a rather uncomfortable conversation for me, so I hurriedly went to the main topic that I should have gone into earlier.

“Anyway, now that we’ve rested enough for each other, I thought we’d talk about it in earnest.”

“Conversation… good.”

Soon Amelia sat down in a chair across from me and we started a meeting we had been putting off for a week in the name of a break.

* * *

The first agenda of the meeting was this.

“You really have nothing to do with the Knights of the Rose?”

“No. And that must have been over before?”

Later, I heard that Rühenpra had pursued Amelia tenaciously, thinking that she was a member of that group.

There seems to be a grudge relationship that is not known to the world…

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

Seeing that he said that at the time, I’m sure he didn’t lose someone important to them because of them.

The important thing is that this isn’t it.

“But why are you telling this story again?”

At the time, I thought it was just a strange coincidence, but after thinking about it, a possibility came to my mind.

“You said you learned Aura from a woman you met by chance at Noark Castle, right?”

“Yes, I told you a few things about how I like your eyes. Of course, I only made the basic foundation, but it was much later that I realized my aura.

“That’s right.”

Then we concluded that the woman must have been a member of the Order of the Rose.

But…

“But is there any possibility that that woman could be you?”

“…what?”

“Suddenly, I thought about it. A woman I don’t even know well can’t be so kind.”

Amelia, who had been quite quick-witted since she was a little girl, understood exactly what I was trying to say.

“Do you really think that’s what we have left to do?”

“okay.”

Making the skeleton of ‘Auror’ for Nmelia, who is left alone in the world.

This may be the homework left for us.

But…

“Don’t worry. It won’t be like that.”

Amelia flatly rejected the possibility.

He even asked for evidence, but he did not explain this part at length, only saying that he could trust himself.

‘Seeing him say this far, I really think I’m wrong…’

If that’s true, then that’s good news for me.

It comes to the conclusion that in order to follow the original history, we must stay here for another two years.

“Then let’s move on to the next item.”

The second topic that came up was Auril Gavis.

What kind of variable will this suspicious old man act in the future?

We talked for a long time about it.

And it ended with me being scolded without any income.

“By the way, why did you do such a risky thing? It would have been nice if we had parted happily.”

“What do you mean? So you’re saying I had to take off my name and face?”

“Even if that wasn’t the case, there was no need to tease him at the end.”

“Ah…”

That’s not true.

At that time, I was very cool inside, but it is also true that I get a little chill when I think of the old man who must have been shaken later.

“You’re all nice, but you need to be a bit careful with your words and actions.”

“……i get it.”

“I won’t say more, but… be careful. The fact that I said to be your colleague meant that I would entrust my life to you.

” I was

very grateful for the determination that seemed to go beyond trust .

“Hehe,”

I finished the topic with a coughing sound and moved on to the next agenda item. It’s

none other than the core of this meeting.

How to activate the fragments of the record

. I’m thinking of getting one…”

“You sound like you’ve got something in mind?”

Maybe I just said it without thinking.

Two years later, there were several other candidates besides laying the groundwork for an aura for Nmelia. The first of them

is

this

.

It can’t be me who’s stealing…

but maybe there’ll be some connection to it in the future

, like the ‘Heart of the Barbarian’ commotion. ”

Well,

it was said that the Noble Phantasm was especially important to evil spirits. It seems to make sense in that respect. You’re a demon too—”

“Bitter.”

“Ah, that’s a mistake. I told you not to mention that.”

It was a sensitive issue for me, but Amelia immediately apologized, so I moved on to giving a yellow card.

Then, the second one at this point.

“If it’s a GM… I’m sure you’ll hand over the rally to Auril Gavis. That was his nickname.”

“Yeah.”

“But why is he?”

“It’s just the time when the community passed on to him.” Should I say it

‘s a bit unfortunate?

Maybe I should meet him from the past and do something. Might be able to go back in time

. Maybe there’s a third?”

Then, in case there isn’t?

I immediately said one final possibility:

“To keep the things I’ve gathered here well hidden so that I can pass them on to the future. Maybe that’s my last role.”

“Isn’t that… just your wish?”

Uh, I don’t have anything to say with that said…

“But have you thought about anything? What we have to do.”

” Well… I’ll tell you when I think of it.”

I wondered if

something good would come of it.

So, have all the equipment been sold?”

“More than half. If we lower the price, we can dispose of it sooner—”

“No, it’s okay to take time, so sell it for the full price.” ” But there were quite a few precious things, so

wouldn’t it

be better to keep a few?

” In this case, management is essential.

It means that the value decreases over time.

Besides, if you sell equipment from 20 years ago, the source will be suspicious, so it is neat in many ways to organize everything except for the demon crusher that you can not buy even with money

. I’m asking where should I hide this to be safe…’

Following the stream of consciousness, I was continuing my thoughts over and over again. ”

Oh , and I have something to tell you.

”

I heard on the way out that there will be a level 3 essence being auctioned off at the central exchange.”

“Uh, level 3 essence? Why don’t you go to the Celestial Auction House?”

“The Alminus Firm seems to be trying something new.”

Hmm, are you aiming

to upgrade the central exchange ?

? Oh, are these guys going to keep it private until the day before the auction, like the Celestial Auction House?” ” That’s true, but I already know what kind of

integer it is, so it doesn’t matter.

Because it was a very famous auction.”

Amelia opened her mouth,

“It’s the essence of Vol-Herchan.”

Is this

really fate ?
“……!!!!”
