Episode 348 Hermitage (3)
Everyone has a plan.
There’s no guarantee that it’ll work out.
Alia did too.
“…There was an organization that I usually kept an eye on. They were people who disguised themselves as relief centers to get opium and then sold it in the shadows at a high price… Originally, I planned to rob them to make up for the cash.”
“however?”
“…While tracking down their base, the National Security Agency ca in.”
I had nothing to say.
I guess I should say this is really childish…….
but I’m glad it’s much healthier than robbing a bank.
As I smiled, Alia sneakily apologized.
“…This is my mistake, so I’ll co up with a solution sohow.”
what is he
I said stubbornly.
“Okay. Why are you solving that yourself?”
If he hadn’t extended the safe period in the first place, it would have been disintegrating in the air, and Alia’s share in this item is about half.
That’s because I was hunting for a party when it dropped.
More than anything else, it’s a little funny to hold the guy responsible for getting the money to buy the Essence of Vol-Herchan.
“Money problems are to be solved together, okay?”
“…a colleague?”
Oh he knows how to say that.
“Yes, because they are colleagues. If there is a problem, it is not about who to bla, but together we find a way to solve it.”
“…i get it.”
In that sense, counterasures were discussed afterwards.
It was a difficult amount to raise in two months by normal ans, but there was no answer at all.
It is thanks to the stocks I bought two years and six months ago.
“I’m borrowing money from that fairy…… I’m sure it’s possible if you have enough money to buy a mansion like this. But is it okay?”
“Huh? Are you okay?”
“That fairy must be one of your companions.”
“Keuheum…….”
He stabbed a very painful place.
“Alia, you don’t know anything because you’ve been alone for a long ti, but your colleagues help each other when they’re having a hard ti. Do you understand?”
“I see… that’s how you treat your comrades.”
No, who says they only receive it?
Shouldn’t it be paid back with interest?
“Anyway, since this is enough, let’s talk about sothing else.”
“I thought it was a disadvantageous situation.”
“…huh?”
“Isn’t it? I usually rember that when I change the topic.”
Uh…
it was so justified that I didn’t have anything to refute.
“…….”
But was his personality originally like this?
Why do you keep making fun of ?
“It’s okay, say what you were going to say, Yandel.”
Seeing that he didn’t give a chance to argue, it seems clear that he
was intentionally teasing …….
Because there were more important issues.
“Oh, it’s nothing special. I was trying to talk about how I should introduce you to Erwen.”
Intuitive team kill is a specification.

Clap Clap.
Alia clicked her tongue as she pounded on the table in a steady rhythm.
“You’re crazy, so stop calming down.”
“…….”
“Is that fairy so scary?”
“Who’s scared? How well Erwen listens to .”
It’s just a little tense.
I told Erwen that I would take Alia as a teammate, but where is human impulse always under control?
I don’t want to see Alia explode again.
Even more so if it’s not an alter ego, but the main body.
Tick tock.
As ti went by, it was ti to start feeling hungry.
Chunk.
I heard the door in the yard closing.
It ans that Erwen has returned ho.
Probably both hands are full of dinner to feed tonight.
trudge trudge.
The light footsteps characteristic of fairies passing through the yard quickly drew closer.
And…….
Took.
I stopped in front of the front door.
It was a bit odd.
There was a rattling sound and the doorknob turned, but why didn’t you open the door? Why did the nasal sound, which seed to be humming excitedly sowhere, stop?
The mont I felt that question.
“An open door.”
Erwen murmured softly.
“…slls like a woman.”
At that word, I jumped up and stood up.
It was because I had a premonition that if I just opened the surprise event I had prepared, it would be like four months.
“…Erwen! You’re here!”
As soon as I went out to et him at the front door, Erwen took a quick look around the house, ignoring my greetings.
He then fixed his eyes on Alia, who was inside.
“Alia Lane Wales.”
“It’s been a while, blood spirit. Is this the first ti I’ve seen you in the city?”
“…How are you here?”
“I followed you when I stopped by the bank. You’ve improved your secret technique, but it seems you don’t use it much in real life. You’d better be more alert from now on. You’re not the only one living in this house.”
At Alia’s answer, Erwen muttered briefly.
“…do you want to kill ?”
“Hey Erwen…?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m only thinking inside.”
“Uh… is that so? Yes, it could be. First of all, let’s sit down. We’ll be together from now on, but we can’t be so awkward, can we?”
“all right.”
Unexpectedly, Erwen quickly cald down and sat down at the table as I requested. And he spoke first in a nonchalant voice.
“Is it okay if I get along well with this woman from now on?”
“Call by na, not this woman.”
“Then I’ll take my last na. Rain Wales, right?”
“That’s right. I call her Tersia.”
“yes.”
When Erwen replied with a short answer, the conversation was cut off there.
It was my turn.
“As Erwen said last ti, Alia will move with us now.”
“What about status issues?”
“There’s nothing to worry about that part. I’ve got sothing suitable while waiting for Yandel to return.”
“…why didn’t you tell you were alive before?”
“You ask a pitiful question. How can I trust you to say that?”
“What? The subject that we’ve been together for about half a year at most.”
“Hmm, did you know that the period you entered the labyrinth with Yandel was shorter than half a year?”
No, why are you talking to without ?
“Co on, everyone, calm down.”
I hurriedly intervened in the conversation again.
“I don’t know exactly what happened between you guys, but it all happened because of a misunderstanding, so how about clearing things up right here?”
Saying that, I gave Alia a signal with a wink. It ant not to be harsh, but to lose a little bit.
But…
“Well, I don’t have any grudges. Thanks to that, I couldn’t swim on the 6th floor because my legs were blown off and I had to hold on to a plank for three days, but in the end I survived.”
Yeah, you had a reason to be picky.
“…At that ti, I was wondering how he escaped on the boat with his body.”
“Erwen.”
“…don’t worry.
“But I didn’t kill him.”
“You speak as if you could. As soon as our reinforcents arrived, we ran.”
“Well… I accomplished my goal. My pocketbook was tight, but thanks to selling that guy’s equipnt, I was able to get this dagger here as well.”
Okay let’s give up being friendly.
There’s no reason to be at peace with colleagues, right?
I ended the conversation with a smile.
“Haha, they really fight over trivial matters! Co on, shake hands and make peace.”
The one who laughs at any ti is first class.
***
After Erwen and Alia shook hands with a rotten look, I moved on to the next item.
Straight forward like a barbarian warrior.
“Erwen, could you lend so money?”
“Why money…?”
I openly told the story about the Demon Grinder, and Erwen’s expression hardened.
“So you an you want this woman to pay for the essence with her own money?”
“Can you see it that way…?”
“…I’m sorry, but I think that would be a little difficult.”
“…huh?”
“Don’t get wrong. It’s not because I hate it.”
if not what?
Looking at it with those eyes, Erwen murmured softly like a guilty person.
“Now… I don’t have much money… Really.”
Oh well…
Co to think of it, he said he bought this house with the money he extorted from the tribal chief.
However, I did ask just in case.
“Then what about borrowing money against this house?”
I myself was trash, but what can I do?
Worst case scenario, you have to be prepared.
“…this house? It’s a place full of ugly mories…
”
“Yandel, you really—”
“Don’t say anything to the old man. It’s because of you that I have no sha.”
“what……?”
“So you understand? Don’t be sorry, Mister. It’s a house… You can get a new one later……”
That’s why my hands are shaking…
“…I’m sorry. done.”
“Don’t say that. It’s for you.”
Anyway, it was decided that the demon crusher would be retrieved using the collateral turning technique.
So, it’s ti to plan the next one.
“No matter what we do next, we need to secure funding first.”
“Yes. If you want to enter the labyrinth again, you will have to adjust your equipnt. If you have money… you can protect this house…
” It must be an urgent priority to take it off.”
Oh that……
“I’m going to put it off for a while because there’s sothing suspicious.”
When I told her my questions and concerns while I was away, Alia nodded as if she agreed.
It seed that he himself felt suspicious.
“Anyway, that’s why Alia wants you to find a suitable identity.”
“It’s not difficult to find your status, but in the end it will be about covering the sky with both hands. No matter how many years have passed since you died, there are quite a few people who rember you.”
Interpreted, it ans that there is a high possibility that your identity will be exposed with sothing like an iron helt.
This is not the era 20 years ago when there was no ointnt.
Even if you just use the word [gigantic], people will think of Bjorn Yandel first.
“Hmm, but if you’re careful in the labyrinth, I think it’ll work out sohow…”
“I don’t know once or twice, but if the period increases, there will definitely be soone who recognizes—”
“Why don’t you eat so essence for a while?”
Erwen interrupted and interrupted.
“essence?”
“Like Einar-san ate. There are also essences that decrease your height. If you shorten your height a bit and introduce yourself as a human being, I don’t think anyone will notice…” Even as he said that, Erwen noticed Alia
. He seed to be wary of not knowing what kind of fault he might catch in his words.
But…
“I’m sure you’ll know in a month or two. If you’re planning to hide your identity for a long ti, it’s much safer that way.”
Contrary to expectations, Alia showed a distribution that acknowledged Erwen’s idea and even praised it.
But would that be a little strange?
“You’ve co up with a pretty good way.”
“…That’s because it’s about you.”
Erwen answered coldly and shook his head.
It was a sight that ward the viewer sowhere, but I had no choice but to intervene.
“Hey…”
I’m really sorry for saying this all of a sudden.
“I have no place to eat the essence.”
It’s still a long way to level 7.
There is no integer to erase.
Scared to explain this situation, Alia chuckled.
“Manticore.”
“……?”
“I rember that you said it was an essence that must be erased soday.”
…You’re going to pull out my jump key?
