Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 80

Episode 80

Charles, a young man who knows Evelyn’s name.

Dio thought about why he was able to immediately recognize Evelyn.

‘The only people directly wanted by Luna are me and Sephia.’

There was no need for Evelyn or Roberto to use recognition-impairing magic.

That’s why Charles remembered Evelyn’s old appearance and recognized her right away.

It was a bit surprising to recognize him even though 15 years had passed.

“Eveline? Is Clover’s real name Evelyn?”

Ates, who heard Evelyn’s name, asked, but Dio and the others just looked at Evelyn in silence.

Evelyn had no expectations about Ox.

However, as soon as she saw Charles, she was able to think of the immature children who had bullied her.

‘Hehe…you still haven’t escaped this rural corner, right?’

Even though it was clearly a nightmare she did not want to remember, Evelyn was somehow filled with joy.

She could vaguely understand the romance that Ates had been talking about when she came to Oaks.

‘who am I? Disciples of the Seven Stars. And the Archmage in charge of one axis of the Demon King’s army subjugation force!’

In fact, Evelyn was just a corner witch who couldn’t live in the city, but did she just inherit the delusion created by Ates?

‘What kind of acting should I do? It may seem like there is no way to do it yourself…but yes! Shall we imitate a noble lady like our teacher?’

Dio clicked his tongue as he looked at Evelyn’s nose getting higher and higher.

‘It’s so obvious.’

However, before Evelyn could continue the situation, Charles opened his mouth first.

“I’m so sorry Evelyn!”

“Huh?”

In essence, perpetrators do not remember past mistakes.

However, if the perpetrator is not an evil person at heart, there are cases where he realizes his mistake even belatedly and spends his entire life atonement.

Charles was in the latter case.

When Evelyn suddenly left, he was unable to live honorably, scolding himself for being mean to her.

“I heard that you were taken in by a foreign noblewoman. It was fortunate for you…”

Charles trailed off as he recalled the memory of that time.

Evelyn, who had never expected that the child who had treated her so badly would apologize like this, was simply distraught.

“You’ve changed a lot, but you’re still the same as you were then, right? “You have pure white skin… I didn’t know it then, but you’ve become a pretty young lady now, right?”

“Huh huh!”

Evelyn raised the side of her head innocently in response to Charles’ pure praise without any sense of malice.

Just like Calliope, who pretended to be a noble lady, often did.

‘It’s too late to apologize now! I think you’re in love with my appearance. What should I do? ‘I’m not even interested in you!’

Evelyn acted arrogantly.

However, from Charles’s next words, it was clear that the compliment was not uttered with malicious intent.

“But these people…? Oh no, do you want to come to my house? “I’ll also introduce you to my wife.”

“?”

Evelyn’s eyes widened at Charles’ words, wondering if she had misheard.

You must have heard it wrong, right?

Wasn’t that mean alley leader Charles…

in love with me?

“Why are you so dazed? Oh, is there somewhere else we should stop by…”

“No. it’s okay. “We would be grateful if you invited us.”

Dio answered instead of Evelyn.

* * *

It’s okay to be a childhood friend, but what would it be like if a child who lived in the same village as a child ended up getting married?

“I haven’t been in a relationship yet…”

Dio clicked his tongue as he looked at Evelyn, who was muttering softly at the end of the group.

‘I guess he was a bad boy when he was young, but now he’s a healthy young man.’

Dio thought as he looked at the back of Charles, who was guiding his companions and himself reliably.

Even if it is a wrong action committed when one is immature, that mistake is not forgiven.

However, you cannot kick someone who regrets and sincerely apologizes.

‘Rather, it went well. Even if Charles feels sorry, he will be nice to us.’

It would not be good if Calliope causes trouble in the village where it is based.

“I also feel somewhat sorry for Evelyn’s colleagues. “I was very young back then…”

Charles seemed to care about Evelyn and recited to Dio as if atonement for his immature actions.

“Let’s talk about that separately later. Are you by any chance the village chief’s son?”

The story between Evelyn and Charles is not that important to Dio.

Dio noticed that Charles was active as a member of Ox and immediately got to the point.

“How did you know? Ah, I guess Evelyn told me. That’s surprising. Evelyn probably didn’t even want to remember me or her father…”

Charles said as if he was very surprised that Evelyn remembered people from the past to some extent.

However, contrary to what Charles had guessed, Dio had heard nothing from Evelyn.

Nevertheless, the reason Dio expected Charles to be the chief’s blood relative was because he resembled the chief of Oaks that he remembered.

“I am still lacking, but I am following in my father’s footsteps and learning in many ways.”

As if Dio’s prediction was correct, Charles grinned and led the group across the residential area lined with houses.

‘You seem to be resourceful. Well, it’s a base managed by Calliope…’

Dio thought as he entered the Ox and looked around.

When Dio visited, Oaks had a much more floating population than it does now.

There is only one reason why players come to Ox.

To find Calliope, the Witch of Balance.

That’s all Dio didn’t know about Ox in the early days.

‘If I were to count it in terms of time… it would be about a year. that’s right. The village chief back then wasn’t much different from Charles now.’

Dio nodded, remembering the future Charles, whose eyes were calmer than now.

I only called him village chief, but I only found out his real name now.

In any case, the current Charles is not the village chief.

Although Calliope only has one representative, Dio sneakily brought up the story about Ox’s ‘jewel’ just in case.

“Do you know where the jewel is?”

“yes? Jewelry? “What kind of jewel?”

Charles’s reaction to Dio’s words, asking why he’s such an idiot.

The chief of Hallshtar also pretended not to know at first, but it was different then.

‘I guess they haven’t taken over the matter regarding the Witch of Balance, who is treated as a guardian deity of the village… yet.’

Unlike the village chief, there is no sense of lies in the simple young man who maintains an innocent expression from the beginning.

“it’s nothing. “Ah, is this Charles’s home?”

Dio spoke slyly and pointed to the house he had arrived at.

“yes. It’s shabby, but come in. Evelyn? You too, come in quickly.”

“….”

Evelyn looked around the house with a perplexed mind after hearing Charles’ words about taking care of her first.

A house made of strong wood as pillars and a mixture of hard bricks and mud.

There was an elegant pavilion in the yard and a neatly organized chicken coop in the corner.

“It’s cozy. It’s the perfect size for a newlywed home. “Miss Heart, how do you like a house like this?”

“….”

Did I have a fantasy about a neat country town?

He obviously owns a magnificent mansion, so why would he covet such a simple country home?

It was Artes who dared to bring up the story of his newlywed home to Sepia.

Charles spoke on behalf of Sepia, who ignored Artes.

“Haha, it’s not something I can brag about to others. “I have to work hard to expand further.”

“Where is your wife?”

Evelyn, who seemed to have a lot of intentions, spoke harshly.

“My father-in-law came and went to his parents’ house. “My father-in-law is a peddler, so I don’t see him often.”

Charles said as he sat Dio and his friends inside the house.

“It’s almost time to come… Could you wait a moment? Since it’s in front of here, I’ll come back quickly.”

Charles apologized to Dio and hurried outside.

* * *

Dio and the others were sitting on soft chairs, enjoying the first time in a long time of relaxation.

Meanwhile, Evelyn was biting her fingernails and muttering to herself as if she were resentful…

‘But she’s not that immature.’

From Evelyn’s perspective, it is a situation that could be quite grumpy.

Isn’t the child who bullied you getting married, buying a new home, and living happy days?

Dio, a modern man, could understand even if he cursed Charles right away.

However, Evelyn, the person involved, did not take such revenge.

‘He’s nice. ‘It’s because it’s a bit lame.’

After seeing Evelyn decomposing alone, Dio felt Sephia’s eyes on him and looked at her.

“Is the Witch of Balance here? Even though he’s the village chief, it doesn’t seem like he really knows anything…”

Sepia said, thinking about what happened in Hallshtar.

Although Sephia was following Dio’s words and wandering around the village, she was wondering if she could actually meet Calliope this way.

“witch? The Witch of Balance? What does that mean? Heart Lady.”

As soon as the word witch came out of Sepia’s mouth, Ates quickly joined in their conversation.

“Ha-there.”

Sepia sighed at Ates’ behavior, interfering with even the smallest details, even though she had been told to act wisely.

However, it was not only Ates’ tactless behavior that was bothering Sephia now.

“Can you please stop calling me that lady?”

“yes? “No, I’m…”

For whatever reason, Artes added a title in an attempt to become friends, but when he heard Sepia say something for no reason, Ates felt intimidated.

“Dio. “I keep getting lost in the conversation, so why don’t you tell me to some extent?”

“Hmm…”

Dio was lost in thought at Sepia’s suggestion.

At least some explanation seems necessary to take Artes with him, who doesn’t seem to be keeping quiet in the future.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to talk about the Witch of Balance as comfortably as we do now.

Dio said that since he would know if he met Calliope anyway, he thought it would be a good idea to let him know in advance.

“Athes. “I’m telling you now that what we’re doing now…is extremely dangerous.”

“yes? “Isn’t the mission of the Demon King’s army punitive force a dangerous one?”

“Not just external factors, but also internal factors.”

“What do you mean?…”

“I guess there’s no need for any more pseudonyms. “This is Sepia Eveline Roberto.”

“sepia?”

Ates was deep in thought, wondering if this was a name he had heard before somewhere.

The name Dio is pretty common, so I just overlooked it…

but Dio and Sepia?

Before Ates left the Bertio family.

He prepared thoroughly for his solo journey.

Not only did they obtain equipment and other daily necessities, but also news from the entire continent.

In the process, Artes also searched for a list of wanted criminals who would pose a danger to the continent.

Because you can catch them and ruin your reputation.

For that reason, Artes was able to see.

These are the wanted records of two people who recently came into contact with demons in the big city of Rivernos.

Since the Order of Luna had issued a direct order, Ates looked into it with interest.

Those two wanted criminals are none other than…

“Ah!”
