Episode 330 Ouroboros (5)
While the numb sensation that blooms in the back of the head spreads throughout the body.
Took.
I woke up to the sound of sothing falling.
Upon checking, it was a fragnt of a record.
I was definitely holding on tight even when the light burst out, but why is it falling over there?
“…….”
I quickly approached and picked it up.
It was only then that I realized that there were more that fell on the floor.
“clothes……?”
It was a robe made of high quality fabric.
Well, the important thing now is not the material, but the owner.
It wasn’t just a fancy robe, it was the robe Auril Gavis was wearing. it’s on the floor
Where the old man stood a while ago.
As if only the body was sucked in and only this remained.
“No way……”
I looked down at the fragnt of the record in my hand.
“This is what worked on this old man…?”
Gradually, things started to beco more or less clear.
Although I was montarily dazed by the unexpected result…
It wasn’t who reacted to the debris of the record, but Gavis.
‘Ah, I can’t organize it.’
I struggled to find my composure and started again from the beginning.
The number of cases was two.
First of all, Auril Gavis received the ‘call of the tis’ like .
And the second one is……
[Have you ever used the record fragnt stone?]
[You have used it.]
Auril Gavis had already used the record fragnt stone.
In this case, it ans that the old man received a call and was living in this age.
Then he t and what he had to do… So he must have finished his ‘role’ that he needed and returned to his original ti zone.
‘In the case of the forr, it ans that I went to the past, and in the case of the latter, can I understand that it is the opposite?’
Naturally, it was organized in my head.
But…
‘No, it’s still too early to conclude.’
Realizing the lack of information, I changed my mind.
I don’t know enough about the fragnts of records.
So it is wise to keep all possibilities open.
Could it be that the ‘call of the tis’ did not only happen in the past?
There may be a calling in the future.
Therefore…
‘I’ll think about this later…’
I put the fragnt of the record back into the subspace and picked up the robe that had fallen on the floor.
And excitedly turned around.
‘Rooting…!’
Isn’t it a drop item from Aurl Gavis?
There’s definitely a possibility of carrying around sothing interesting…
‘You’re kidding.’
After diligently digging around, there was nothing special except for the robe. Just ordinary socks and shoes, and even luxurious panties made of pure white silk.
“Ouch!”
I realized that the purpose of the clothes that I had been wanting to do was underwear, and I threw it on the floor.
Annoyance ca.
‘What kind of old man doesn’t have anything?’
I expected a lot because he was an old man who gave off the aura of the final boss.
There is no nonsense like this……
“Ah.”
Belatedly, I rembered the scene where Auril Gavis took out water from the subspace and drank it.
At that ti, I thought it was just a subspace ring…
“It must have been a subordinate subspace.”
A dependent subspace available only to top-level wizards.
In this case, the real thing does not exist because it is directly connected to the soul, such as tattooing on the body.
‘Oh no, wait…….’
Then, does that an that if you use the subordinate subspace, you can bring the equipnt you gathered here to the original ti?
I suddenly had that thought, but it wasn’t enough to shout Eureka.
Well, I’m not a wizard.
Unlike magic tools, subordinate subspaces can only be opened by using the wizard’s own magic.
‘Ha, then is this also nonsense…….’
I let out a sigh and shook off my lingering feelings.
Even if I get irritated and express my regrets, nothing will change, and there are things I need to do right now.
‘Let’s et Alia first.’
I picked up Auril Gavis’ belongings again, put them in the subspace, and moved to the sewer again.
At first glance, these are ordinary clothes, but I decided to check them one more ti in case I missed sothing. As I went
back
the way I ca, five or six corpses appeared.
‘That’s where I was.’
I didn’t have a concept enough to leave the equipnt without an owner, so I rooted all of them.
Since they were all trying to move to the surface, there were no inventory problems thanks to the expandable bag or the subspace ring.
‘Wow, how much would it be if I sold all of this?’
Using all of my shoulders, neck and arms, I packed my bag and continued walking.
However, Alia was not there when she arrived soon after.
Looking at the traces of the fight with the leader, this must be the place where he passed out.
Where else did he go in the anti?
I didn’t have to think long.
‘I’m sure he’ll be there…’
I hurried my steps, unable to hide my bitterness.
and how long has it been
“…….”
The ceiling collapsed and more than half of the passage was blocked.
I saw Alia clearing out the rubble.
He moved his hands so hard that he didn’t even notice that I was nearby.
“Aaaaaagh!”
Why are you screaming all of a sudden? awfully.
The way he grabbed her head with both hands was bloody, so he quickly approached and grabbed Alia’s wrist.
Took.
The mont the skin touched Alia shuddered and turned her head away.
“……Yandel?”
She looked surprised at my face, but soon tried to shake off my hand.
“Leave it. I’ll have to find it…”
What did you say?
“If you search, you won’t find anything.”
“what?”
I grinned.
“That’s why I told you earlier. When you wake up, everything will be over.”
Despite my words, Alia had a dazed look on her face.
It seems like you don’t understand what I’m saying…
“It’s okay, just follow .”
Well, it would be faster to see it with your own two eyes.
***
When I ca to my senses, only despair was full.
She was alone in this dark sewer, and the familiar silence ant it was all over.
‘So is it all over…’
Alia trudged to her feet.
I had a place to go.
Because she couldn’t do it that day.
[Forget all the painful mories of being here.]
[A normal life… will finally begin for you too.]
I had to leave behind my sister’s body.
When I ca to find her after a while, it was after her sister’s body had already disappeared. Did all the dead bodies in the sewer be removed by the hands of the workers who were restoring the passage?
This has beco a blessing in disguise for her.
That’s why…
“I have to find it.”
You have to find it.
Even if it’s just a dead body.
It must be found and repaired.
Not leaving your sister’s body in the dirty sewer.
After 20 years, if she had returned to the past, she would be able to do that much. No, maybe that’s all that was allowed from the beginning.
“It’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Arriving at the site of the tragedy of the day, Alia imdiately removed the stones at random.
He looked so desperate that he looked like soone who was half insane.
And he wasn’t actually wrong.
“Why…”
I can’t see my older sister.
It should definitely be around here.
Could it be that even this is not allowed to ?
“Aaaaaagh!”
It’s been a long ti since she scread out loud.
Even when her flesh was cut and her bones were splintered, she could endure it with only a brief moan, but not this ti.
Feeling like your heart is being ripped apart.
Took.
At that mont, a person’s warmth touched his wrist.
“……Yandel?”
He was a very familiar person whom I had seen every day for the past half year.
“Leave it. I’ll have to find it…….”
I tried to shake it off imdiately, but the Barbarian, as always, did not let go. Then, he forced himself to stand up, saying things he could not understand to himself who was rebelling.
And…
“This is…….”
After a long walk, he arrived at the ground.
Lapdonia, a huge city where no place is beyond the power of the royal family.
“Ahhhh…”
The midday city was too dazzling for her eyes as she erged from the dark sewer.
However, before her eyes had ti to adjust to the environnt, the barbarian led her by the wrist and headed sowhere.
“Where are you going?”
“It’s because you don’t go if you go.”
Alia scanned her surroundings with her eyes, even as she was being pulled by a strong force.
Pedestrians passing the road.
Smiling kids and parents.
rchants soliciting custors and pure white marble illuminated by sunlight.
It was the place she had longed for and longed for.
A world full of warm sunlight and unlike Noark, you can live a normal life.
Of course she knows now.
That the earth is not a place like paradise.
That there are beasts more malicious than Noark, and that it is a place where common tragedies occur every day.
but nonetheless.
“At least once……”
I wanted to see it at least once.
The scenery of herself and her older sister living a normal life in this city, sotis crying and laughing.
“Huh? Now what…”
“Yandel, go alone here. I have sothing to look for down there—”
“Ah, so if I look for it, it won’t co out?”
When Alia stopped, the barbarian looked at her in frustration.
and said
“You’re alive, sister.”
“……what?”
Are you alive?
But how…?
“That’s… I’ll explain it later, so why don’t you follow ?”
The barbarian led her confused and continued walking, and she did not resist.
He didn’t have the mind to do that.
how long has it been like that
“After I couldn’t find out where I was going to the relief center, it took a long ti to find it.”
Alia arrived at an aid station located above ground.
Then, I explained my impression to the staff and went to the hospital room.
drooling.
As she opened the door, Alia’s vision ca into view of a girl lying on a bed by the window.
The warm sun was shining through the window.
“Uh sister…….”
An unrealistic landscape that seed unlikely to be seen in a lifeti.
Alia approached the bed like a man possessed.
and held hands.
I could feel my heart beating through the skin against my skin.
“How did this happen?”
In response to Alia’s question, the barbarian told what had happened so far.
Deal with Auril Gavis.
In order to eliminate the contradiction, he erased his mory by using the initial form of Lethe’s Blessing, and even disguised himself as a carriage accident.
“Perhaps when you wake up, your sister won’t rember anything. They will live on thinking that the na on their identity card is theirs.”
“Ah ah…”
That’s right.
“But don’t be too sad. If you go back 20 years, there will be no problems now. Wouldn’t it be better if we go back and reveal our identities and
beco close friends?” My heart pounded. Only
then did I realize
it. When we get back, let’s find a way together. How can I get my lost mories back?”
You really did it.
This man.
“Huh? So say sothing It makes people feel uneasy for no reason…”
Alia laughed involuntarily at the sight of her stomping her feet while looking at herself even though she had accomplished sothing like a miracle.
“It’s done.”
“Huh? It’s okay?”
“It ans you don’t have to worry about it anymore. I won’t be trying to get my sister’s mory back…”
“Huh? Why?”
Alia raised a corner of her mouth at his question.
She didn’t usually smile, so the movents of her facial muscles were very awkward.
But , …….
“Because it’s better not to rember.”
In the future, unnie will be different.
The life she so longed for will begin.
And in that life, painful mories will only get in the way.
Yes, so… ..
“…Goodbye sister.”
I’m fine. Even if I
‘m not with my sister.
It’s far from the normal life I hoped for.
Even if it’s still awkward to raise the corners of my mouth.
There won’t be anything my sister was worried about.
“Let’s go . Barbarian.”
“I’m not a barbarian, I’m Yandel.”
“Yes, Yandel.”
Because I’m not alone anymore.
