Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 303
Episode 303 Rain Wales (1)
Noark does not reject evil spirits.
So unlike on the ground, there are quite a few people who reveal their identity and live on. In fact, judging from our previous conversation, even Amelia, who was born here, did not view demons as hostile.
But…
‘The moment I admit it, it will become a weakness for the rest of my life.’
Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.
Even saying that sentence is my Achilles heel is not enough.
A bomb that will obliterate everything socially and even threaten my life.
However, the button for the bomb was given to Amelia.
Of course, he’s on friendly terms with Amelia right now…
‘Because no one knows what will happen later.’
What if something goes wrong?
From that day on, I couldn’t sleep properly, and even if I didn’t have a problem with my relationship, there was no doubt that it was an anxiety factor.
If he decides to use me, I will be called out like a servant and eaten like a dog.
That’s why…
“Amelia Laneways, are you insulting me?”
It speaks in a low voice like a growl of an animal.
After all, evil spirits don’t lose their memories, right?
It may simply be a story made up to remind me.
No, even if the drug actually had those properties, we’d have to make it something that was defective—
“What if it’s an insult?”
“……uh?”
It’s the first time I’ve ever been the type to come out like this confidently…
Amelia opened her mouth while panicking for a moment.
“Are you going to attack me? Without my help, it would be harder to get the items the lord of the castle is storing?”
“……Do not test my patience.”
Amelia snorted at my words.
“The fact that you say that is proof that you’re not very angry. If it weren’t for you, you’d have attacked me long ago. Just like other barbarians do.”
“…….”
“Come to think of it, it was strange from the first meeting. They told me to beg for my life with the honor of a warrior, but you didn’t think about it for a second.”
“…….”
“But an insult? Isn’t it a bit funny to say that now?”
Ha, is this karma?
When I say that, I suddenly run out of things to say.
So now there is only one way left for me.
“You must have a problem with your head for laughing at a barbarian.”
It was an ultimatum.
It’s obvious that if you delay here, you’ll be at a more disadvantaged place.
It was a car that energized the body with such thoughts.
“Why do you really intend to attack me? Just like the demon hunter who visited you then?”
huh?
Do you even know about that?
“…Did you even investigate my background?”
“There should be one or two suspicious points. Not just me, but pretty much everyone has done it. Well, after receiving the title of nobility, like me, everyone will stop doubting.”
Amelia continued talking, not even giving a chance to interrupt.
“But I really didn’t expect it to be an evil spirit. You’re talented. How did you get the title of a nobleman? No matter how the Secret Security Department acquitted you, the royal family would have tried to verify it separately since it was a title conferred.”
oh i didn’t have that
I don’t know, but it went well.
You can use this part.
“Don’t you think it’s because it’s not a demon?”
He confidently straightened his shoulders and said, but Amelia didn’t even listen and answered immediately.
“As I said earlier, only evil spirits do not lose their memories from the medicine.”
“Defective—”
“That’s not going to happen.”
is it pumpkin?
Even if you try to say something about how hard the guard is, it doesn’t work.
What should I do?
While thinking about it, Amelia muttered something.
“…Hmm, now that I think about it, the royal family could have known but tolerated it. At that time, you were no different than a hero in the city.”
What are you talking about again?
I was curious about what he said behind the scenes, but I held back because I thought I would admit it if I asked.
But did it show in the expression?
“You don’t understand what I mean.”
“No, not at all. Why should I be wondering in the first place?”
Amelia laughed at my denial.
“I don’t intend to admit it to the end, is this?”
“Of course. I’m not like an evil spirit.”
“Well, it’s like you. It’s okay. It’s not like there’s no way anyway.”
Soon after, Amelia took out a disc the size of a compass from subspace.
It was something you couldn’t know even if you didn’t know.
‘Why is this crazy thing here?’
No.7234 Misplaced trust.
It’s a count-consuming item that makes it impossible to lie within a 10m radius when activated, and it’s what made the doppelganger forest suck.
“I didn’t see it when I was unpacking at the top.”
“Because I bought it separately when I was living in the city in the past. I thought it would be useful for a city like this. I didn’t know that I would be the first to use it for you.”
yes it was
You were already running a simulation of how to cook me by combining the paddles you already have.
“Looking at the expression, I don’t think I need to explain what this is. Well, if it’s a demon, there’s no way you wouldn’t know.”
Click.
Amelia pressed the groove at the top of ‘Misaligned Trust’.
And put it on the nightstand between the beds.
The second hand began to move slowly with a ticking sound.
Amelia asked in that state.
“Bjorn Yandel, are you a demon?”
It was check mate.
***
A suffocating silence follows.
In it, I desperately shook my head.
‘……What should I do?’
It is not a question of whether or not to reveal that it is a demon.
That’s because the moment ‘displaced trust’ appeared, it was already over the water.
‘It’s not fake.’
Sadly, ‘Misplaced Trust’ was genuine.
I tested it right away the moment it worked.
Lies like ‘I’m a woman’ didn’t come out of my mouth even if I tried to say it.
“We have five minutes left.”
“…….”
“Are you going to keep doing that?”
An item that becomes an answer with silence itself.
The fact that I am a demon has already been proven.
So, there is only one thing I am concerned about.
‘Kill?’
As much as it is the most important secret to me, even the most extreme measures are alluring.
But…
‘……Let’s not think nonsense.’
I struggled to shake that thought off.
Because it’s impossible to kill in the first place.
To be honest, it’s not that I can’t see a winning angle at all when fighting 1:1, but…
If Amelia chooses to run away, the chase isn’t easy.
Also, if you go wrong with him right now, all future plans will be bleak.
‘Besides, he’s the type that would be very troublesome if he became an enemy.’
If so, there is only one way.
Not a barbarian solution.
She’s a black-and-white woman, so if you don’t want to be enemies, you have no choice but to be friends.
“It’s a pity to be wasted like this, so I have to say something too. The saying, ‘Only evil spirits don’t lose their memories with medicine’ is not a myth, it’s true.”
Soon I was done with the long agony.
“…Yes, I am an evil spirit.”
This is the second coming out after Baekho Lee.
Amelia wasn’t particularly surprised.
I took it out to admit it with my mouth, but in fact, I must have already been convinced of it a long time ago.
“It’s a strange expression.”
“……You wouldn’t know. How cool and stuffy I am right now.”
“Somehow—”
Amelia stopped suddenly.
At first, I wanted something, but I soon understood the situation.
The ‘displaced trust’ was recognized as a lie and blocked his mouth.
“Did you mean to say that you’re sorry?”
“…….”
I’m really dumbfounded.
The heat soared for a moment, but I managed to endure it.
That’s right, you can’t be an enemy, right?
Now that I’ve been caught as an evil spirit, I have to become friends with him that I won’t be able to share in this world.
So, let’s check this out first.
“But are you okay? Even if I’m a demon.”
“If you ask me if I have ill feelings like the people in the city, the answer is no. In the past, I worked as a team with an evil spirit for over a year.”
“…But then why did you dig so persistently?”
“Because I was curious.”
Here was the second hurdle.
Just because of that, you pulled out something that people wanted to hide somehow?
The moment when steam rose to my head.
“…Strangely, I often get entangled with you. That’s why I was curious. Is there anything you’re hiding or can I trust you?”
Amelia said, avoiding her gaze.
Seeing that ‘mistrust’ is in operation, it’s not like I said empty words that I didn’t mean to say……. Hey,
so I’m angry—
“Oh, of course, I also calculated that you wouldn’t be able to betray me recklessly if you caught my weakness.”
I wish I hadn’t said that.
what can i do Being a woman born like this.
“I have a question.”
“…Try it.”
“If it’s an evil spirit, why were you so angry at Yandel Jarku’s death? Was it a feeling of guilt?”
“That’s…”
I don’t know.
I tried to answer, but no words came out.
So I just honestly admitted it.
“okay.”
“Hmm, you must have been a very soft person in reality.”
Amelia looks at me with interest.
“Is your goal to return like the other demons?”
“……I don’t know.”
“Because of those colleagues?”
“…….”
“It must have been like that from the beginning.”
Seriously, why is he so interested in me?
Maybe I should change the subject soon…
Click.
Then, with a click, the spittle of ‘Misplaced Trust’ stopped moving.
This means that the duration of the effect has expired.
‘I’m going to live now.’
I quickly changed the topic of conversation.
Whether you like it or not, isn’t it a situation where you’ve revealed that you’re an evil spirit?
I have to start by confirming things that I normally wouldn’t ask to hide my identity.
“Amelia, why were you looking for Auril Gavis in the past?”
“Ah, come to think of it, if you were a demon, you would have known about him.”
“Should I know. I even met him in person a while ago.”
“You met him?”
“Let’s talk about that later and answer the questions I ask first.”
“…Because he was there on the day my sister died.”
“what?”
“I thought he must have been involved in some way. So I wanted to meet him and hear the truth. That’s all.”
Hmm, nothing special than I thought.
I thought there might be a bigger secret or something.
‘No, just the fact that the old man was there that day is not bad information. Maybe during this journey we can find out what the old man’s goal is.’
“Now then tell me. Where did you meet him?”
“Do you know about Ghostbusters?”
“If you’re talking about the gatherings of demons, to some extent.”
Okay then, there’s less to explain.
Denis was summoned. There, I met a man who claimed to be Auril Gavis.”
After a conversation that briefly explained that I had been caught from the future, I continued,
“The important thing is from now on, listen carefully. said the old man No matter what we do here, we can’t change the past.”
“…He said that?”
“Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either, so I tested it. And the result is what I said then.”
Dwalkie and Raven
tried to change their future, but the situation went as if even that action was part of the cause and effect.
“So I’ll ask again Amelia.”
“…….”
“Are you still thinking of trying it?”
Amelia didn’t answer.
The last time I said it, she didn’t even move.
When the additional explanation was added that it was Auril Gavis’s words, it seemed to have a different weight.
“I’ll try.”
For a long time Amelia, who was calmly controlling her emotions, opened her mouth, “Because it’s too
late
to give up now
.
” Then I’ll help.”
Instead of recommending a loss, I expressed my intention to be with her.
She’s a very compassionate woman.
If I build up goodwill and pay off debts like this, I won’t think of playing with my weaknesses—
“…tired. So I’m going to rest first.”
Then Amelia finished the conversation and lay down on the bed.
A little embarrassed.
‘Huh? You’re sleeping? Isn’t it time to say thank you now?’
I didn’t expect
such lines, but I never thought I’d lie down without saying anything. If this happens
later, the plan will go awry…
How can I get points?
” Amelia Jana?”
”
……?”
“I was just wondering if I could give you a massage
if you’re tired.” I’m sorry I disturbed your rest.”
I lay down on the bed across from Amelia. I
closed my eyes, but I couldn’t sleep.
It was a time when silence flowed endlessly like that.
“What’s your original name?”
Then Questions flew in without blinking, and I just answered honestly.
I don’t know why I suddenly became curious about my real name
… Oh, by the way, this is the surname.” Since it was discovered that
he
was a demon, the real name is not very important, and the decision that refusal to answer could be a factor in reducing
favorability
. So, is his name Hans? A surprisingly common name—”
I involuntarily cursed out.
“What the fuck?”
Anyway, this crossed the line.
