Episode 305 Rain Wales (3)
Alia is a strong woman.
I don’t think so because I know how to use auras and have a few rare high-level essences. I’ve never seen this woman afraid of anything.
But now.
“…….”
Alia’s body was shaking.
Whoever the father over there in the kitchen was, she had no reason to be afraid anymore.
‘Is it a trauma?’
It wasn’t sothing I couldn’t understand.
Because I too had a similar experience in the past.
Even though I thought it was safe in my head, I hadn’t been able to ride a car for several years, and when I woke up sowhere in my sleep, I had to wander around the whole building to find the source.
It is engraved in the unconscious regardless of the will.
Poo-!
that it is terrifying
“……Are you okay?”
Alia did not answer my question.
So I grabbed my trembling wrist.
“Emily.”
Only then did he co to his senses, and the answer ca back.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you…… What did you say?”
“I asked if you were okay.”
“…….”
That’s not okay.
It wasn’t until the noise from the kitchen died down that Alia spoke again.
“……You looked like you couldn’t see it.”
“Huh? What do you an by that?”
I didn’t see anything.
Even if I saw it, I wouldn’t think that it would be like I can’t see it.
“Because of those whoops, I’m always on fire and want it.”
Then a man appeared from the kitchen.
He had a well-trained body, but was about 170 cm tall.
Contrary to what I had imagined, the impression was very ordinary.
“Isn’t the owner too harsh today?”
“Isn’t it serious? They’re ungrateful bitches who don’t even know how to be thankful. Enough with the cramped story, let’s have a drink.”
The man sat down at the table of a custor who seed to be a regular and started chatting while drinking alcohol.
“That man was my adoptive father.”
“Adoptive father?”
“It’s a common story here. Children who have lost their parents need a place to stay, and there are many people in the city who will take care of such children.”
“It’s spread out…….”
For so reason, I think I already know the reason.
It would never be such a noble motive as to beco a nest for children left alone.
Alia said it was a ‘common story’.
Such stories are mostly hyper-realistic.
“It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship. Children are protected until they’re old enough to work, and adoptive parents can get cheap labor thereafter.”
In this city, all rights to the adopted child belong to the adoptive father, and that right is absolute.
At least until the kids grow up and beco adults.
It is impossible to kill or escape the adoptive parents. Because it sets a precedent. To be retaliated against by others for being ungrateful.
“……Right.”
“Still, in the case of our sisters, it was a little better. Their limbs were fine, and they were so healthy that they never got sick. That’s why they didn’t fall off.”
“How old were you then?”
“Five years old. My sister is three years older than .”
Still, it wasn’t bad at first.
Unlike when he was with his father who was injured and weakened in the labyrinth, the food was served properly and it was not cold.
Well, even at such a young age, I was bullied and took care of all sorts of chores…
“That wasn’t too hard either. Everyone lives like this anyway. I even considered myself lucky to have an older sister to rely on.”
At that ti, Alia said that she thought vaguely.
Growing up like this and one day becoming an adult, that’s when our lives will begin.
“But I guess it didn’t work out.”
“……It was all because of .”
It was when Alia was nine years old.
While helping out at a bar, a drunkard tried to strangle Alia.
The reason was that food was spilled.
“It was my sister who stepped out at that ti.”
Alia’s sister saw him while serving and ran to the kitchen. Then, after picking up a kitchen knife, he slowly walked over and attacked the back of the drunkard, accurately slicing the carotid artery.
“I only found out later, but none of the explorers in the tavern said they felt anything like a human presence until my sister went behind him with a sword.”
However, the drunkard did not die that day.
He was able to prolong his life by receiving treatnt with a potion in ti. However, through that incident, a girl’s talent was revealed to the world.
“The next day, soone ca from Seongju’s side. They told to hand over my sister because they would cover up this matter.”
Surprisingly, the adoptive father declined the offer.
And with the money he had, he delivered the price of the potion and the apology to the drunk to cover the incident on his own.
There was only one reason for doing so.
Because that’s reasonable.
“My sister beca a ‘driver’ from that day on.”
Both sides are judged.
He’s a talented kid, so if he raises him well, he’ll be able to make a lot more money than having him work at a bar.
“Actually, my sister had a talent. After only a year after joining the looting team, she was recognized for her contributions and received a small distribution.”
When that happened, the adoptive father thought.
Since they were born with the sa bloodline, wouldn’t Alia have a talent?
“It wasn’t long before I beca a ‘driver’ and was sold into a team of marauders. And soon my talent was recognized.”
Alia moved on by briefly explaining the next story, and I didn’t dig too deep either.
You don’t have to ask to know what kind of life the Rain Wales sisters would have lived as ‘drivers’.
I would have just endured and endured.
The one remaining lineage in this world depends on each other.
“Anyway, that’s why, now my sister belongs to the pyromancers’ gang, and while we’re in the city, we’re working at a tavern and being pampered.”
At the end of her life from childhood to boyhood, Alia finished her story.
“How about it? Are you curious about now?”
“Yes, that’s enough.”
I heard about this next story when I was planning it.
The hopes of these sisters, who dread of being free as adults, are trampled on.
It will happen in about 5 months from now.
Kwak-
A common tragedy.
***
It was a ti when the number of people entering the bar gradually increased after noon.
“……excuse .”
A girl ca to our table.
A girl in her early teens with red hair and long curly hair.
I had a little bruise on my face, but I ssed up my hair to cover it up, so it was very ssy.
“Can I bring you so more alcohol…?”
That’s what the clerk usually says when you’re in one store for too long.
It ans to order more or to turn it off.
“…….”
Alia averted her gaze, unable to et the girl’s eyes.
It wasn’t sothing I couldn’t understand.
“What’s your na?”
“……Alia Laneways.”
Yes, it must be an embarrassing thing to face your childhood self.
He knows what’s going to happen, so he’ll feel guilty.
“I’m leaving.”
Alia tried to leave, but I stopped her.
“Wait a minute.”
Isn’t it the Alia mite mode that I finally t?
can’t miss this opportunity
“How old are you kid?”
“It’s fourteen…”
Oh, 20 years ago, fourteen…
“It was thirty-four.”
As I muttered, Alia turned her head and glared at . It seems that he was annoyed that his personal information was leaked.
“Thirty-four…?”
Alia seed not to understand what she was saying, but nevertheless kept a bright expression at the thought of being in front of a custor.
“When he smiled, he looked like this.”
“yes?”
“Ah, I ant to smile often because it looks good.”
“Ah yes…….”
The grown-up Alia had a poop-chewed expression, while the young Alia didn’t know what to do with a bewildered look.
So, the joke ends here.
“Okay, I’m leaving now, so pay for it.”
“Ah yes!”
I didn’t think I would be able to handle it if I did more, so I quickly paid the bill and left the bar. And when you just returned ho.
“…Maybe it’s just what you said.”
Alia, who had been walking with a rotten expression the whole ti, muttered bitterly.
“What do you an?”
“After listening, I rembered. We had a conversation like this before.”
Oh, it must have been because of that shit-chewed expression.
I thought you were mad at for nothing.
“Alia.”
“Emily.”
“Kuhm yes Emily. Would you like another drink?”
Saying that, he took out the liquor stored in the subspace.
It was all carried by marauders.
“I refuse. Drinking anyway doesn’t an anything to .”
“For integers?”
“okay.”
To put it simply, it ans that you can’t get drunk even if you drink because your poison resistance and ntal resistance are high.
“Then why did you drink at the tavern earlier?”
“That’s because… if you don’t drink at a bar, you look suspicious.”
“Not a word.”
“what?”
“Don’t be serious. What’s so difficult about just having a drink? Isn’t it okay if I drink alone?”
Alia asked as she pulled out a bottle and poured it into a glass.
“……Why do you want to drink in the first place?”
“We still have more conversations to share.”
Do you really think I’m going to have a drink?
Earlier, I listened to stories about my childhood for a long ti at a bar, but in fact, there was sothing else I wanted to hear.
Isn’t that the end of the coming out?
“Are you still talking?”
“What are you pretending not to know? We have no secrets anymore.”
“……Don’t pretend to be friendly. It makes feel bad.”
“Really? Then tell I won’t do it. When we were making the plans in the past, we didn’t say anything about ‘Nivellez Entze’. I heard that Auril Gavis was there for the first ti yesterday.”
Alia at the ti refused to communicate with .
Although we cooperated, we did not intend to open up everything and rely on each other.
However, considering that he even talked about the past today, it is safe to say that he gained so credit.
“If you say that, what will change? You’re thinking that you can’t change anything anyway.”
uh that’s right
In fact, that thought has not changed even now.
But…
“You cried yesterday and said it was too late to give up.”
“…I didn’t cry.”
The little things are just going to go away.
“Is it? Anyway, since you said you wouldn’t give up, I’m seriously thinking
of helping you.” “So I’ll help you?”
“I don’t think there’s anything like that.” “That
ans
there are other reasons?
” I want to pay off the debt.”
Alia didn’t understand.
“…Why?”
There are so many reasons to tell you one by one.
First of all, Alia knows my weakness
. Also ,
Alia is strong.
From what I’ve experienced, she seems to have a kind heart and she has a lot of experience, so in so parts, it becos her will.
So, in short…
“Honestly, the first eting was a bit like that, but I like you.”
“…What?”
“Oh, don’t get wrong. It doesn’t an that I like you as a mber of
the opposite sex.”
”
I didn’t misunderstand
you.” If you pay off the debt, you will definitely want to pay it off. So, if I can, I want to save your sister too. Then I’ll do you any favors.”
“Wealth please? No, because what the hell are you going to ask for…”
Alia looked at with wary eyes and stepped back

the original ti, if I solve all the restrictions.” ” …If
you solve it?
