Chapter 206

Episode 206 In a moment (2)

[Long time no see Miss Rain Wales.]

Amelia, who received a call from the city through the crystal ball, tilted her head involuntarily.

It’s because it wasn’t the voice of the lord of the castle in my memory.

“…Grandpa Alchemist?”

[It’s an honor to hear his voice and recognize him.]

“…How did Grandpa get to use the contact information?”

[I asked the lord. I have a favor to ask of you, let me tell you in person. Isn’t that comfortable with each other? I heard the voices of both sides.]

“I see.”

It’s not something I can’t understand.

Because the alchemist is more important than the castle lord in Noark. If Grandpa asks for a favor, the lord of the castle has no choice but to listen.

Amelia hurriedly got to the point.

“So what do you want to ask for?”

[Oh, it’s nothing. Are you doing better than that?]

“…you know that those words don’t suit me.”

[Have you not gotten it off yet?]

Amelia kept her mouth shut, avoiding answering.

Grandpa, whom he has known since childhood, is one of the few people who knows her inner story.

[Miss Rain Wales, I have some guesses about the reason for accepting this mission. But slowly shake it off me. Obviously, unnie is more like revenge than—.]

“Stop.”

Amelia nodded coldly.

“Stop talking about it and it’s all about it.”

Those left behind have their own work to do.

Regarding that, no matter how old he is, he doesn’t want to be interfered with.

[…Okay. Then let’s move on to business.]

Afterwards, the alchemist recited several necessary items, and Amelia wrote them down on paper.

Most of them were alchemical ingredients like magic reagents.

Nothing special, but things that are difficult to supply in the closed Noark.

[How long will it take to get them all?]

“A few days is enough.”

[okay? Then, could you get me some of the sleepy flower powder a little earlier?]

“If that’s the case, I could send it right away.”

[Oh, did you have any?]

“…I thought you knew.”

Sleeping flower powder has a sleeping pill effect.

Although the effect is not very strong, she often uses it because it has the ability to pierce poison resistance.

Not to the enemy, but to oneself.

“I’ll put you in the two-way subspace as soon as the contact is over.”

[Cuckold, then, today’s business is already over?]

Grandpa smiles with a somewhat regretful expression.

Amelia, who was about to cut off contact, stopped at a question that suddenly bloomed.

“But… where do you need the sleeping flower powder?”

Amelia felt awkward even as she asked.

It’s a question I wouldn’t have asked if it was normal.

She rarely asked questions of others first. If it was simple curiosity, even more so.

But…

“I’m sure there are very few alchemy formulas that use sleeping flower powder, right?”

Something was different today.

Feeling like you’re missing something important.

[Oh, that one?]

Before long, Grandpa’s voice came through the crystal ball.

[The Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos. I’ll use it to heal that friend. Oh, I’m not using it to make medicine, I thought it would be convenient to put it to sleep before that.]

“…Could there be a way to get back the memory?”

[It’s not like that, I’m thinking of treating the damaged body first. As you know, isn’t it a situation where you need a little bit of strength?]

“I see.”

Amelia involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

As long as the memories don’t come back, whether or not he recovers, there’s no way the aftermath will come to him either—.

[Cheers but when the damaged body recovers, I plan to bring back the forgotten memories.]

Amelia stiffened in shock.

[The method was so radical that I was physically exhausted right now. Well, the sample is too small, so the success rate is only about half.]

50% success rate.

The possibility is infinitely small to leave to chance.

But there were no big problems.

Isn’t it a problem if the body doesn’t recover?

“Right.”

After that, Amelia cut off contact.

And as promised, I put the powder of the sleeping flower in the two-way subspace.

By applying a poison that destroys living tissue when ingested.

***

The second vine is broken.

I was quiet for a while and put my mind at ease.

‘What the hell is this bastard doing?’

Impatience creeps in from somewhere.

That’s because I’m not ready to meet him yet.

Although he had grown up in many areas, he only went from being a 4th floor explorer to a 5th floor explorer.

But now there is only one left.

‘Sixth floor. I have to go to the 6th floor as soon as possible.’

If you go to the 6th floor, there is a possibility that you can eat the essence.

My second Core Essence after [Giant].

If you get that, you can somehow rub against him.

“mister!”

huh?

“What are you thinking like that?”

Hearing Erwen’s voice, he woke up from his thoughts.

Is it because the peaceful time has been so long?

It’s not the last, only the second vine was cut, and since then, uneasy imaginations have bloomed and complicated my mind.

“I’m sorry. How far did you go?”

“I wasn’t talking, I was asking what to order…”

“Oh, I did.”

After looking at the menu, I ordered a suitable snack and beer.

“But nothing has changed here.”

Erwen muttered as he watched the staff return after receiving the order. I knew what he meant without even asking.

“We’ve changed a lot.”

The place where I am currently is a tavern called Faidenfuss, where I drank the returning wine after the first exploration I met Erwen.

So I have no choice but to feel strange all the time.

The barbarian, who suffered all kinds of trouble on the first floor because he had no night friends, became a fairly famous explorer in the city.

Although he didn’t gain fame, Erwen also continued to grow tremendously right after finishing his first year.

Just looking at the changed equipment, the change is obvious.

“Is this the first time since then that you even drank alcohol?”

“Ah, when you paid your taxes for the first year?”

By the way, it was just after I moved in.

So I thought about where to meet and came here.

It was clear that Misha would hate it if I invited her to my house.

First of all, it’s a common space where three people live together, so I can’t do it my way.

“Did anything go wrong on this expedition?”

“…Yes, it’s the same as before.”

After the drinks and snacks were served, we started talking in earnest.

The main topic was each other’s recent situation.

Unlike the past when we used to come hang out every day, the number of points of contact has decreased, so now there is no common topic other than this.

“How is the atmosphere in your clan?

“Well? Even if they did, they didn’t tell us until……”

Sister Erwen, who had participated in a clan she knew as a mercenary with her sister, was still exploring the labyrinth with them.

For reference, the activity area is on the 5th floor.

However, since we only hunted in Hellfire Gorge, we hadn’t encountered them in the labyrinth yet.

“Anyway, I’m so annoyed. Did I tell you before? There are people who keep flirting with my older sister. These days, they’re saying that to me too?”

“It’s been a lot of trouble.”

“You’re at the level of an executive, so you can’t put an arrow between your eyebrows……. You just have to be patient. Until you get everything you want and leave.”

The more we talk, the more I realize that he has changed a lot.

It’s been a little over a year since I became an explorer.

But, as before, the feeling of being ignorant of the world was completely erased.

In a way, it was natural.

One year in the Labyrinth was enough time to see everything.

“Anyway, tell me now. He said he had something to say?”

“Ah, that’s it…” As I

thought the place was ripe to a certain extent and got to the point, Erwen paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Remember? That I still had a lot to learn from my sister…….”

“I remember.”

I even said that I would suck everything in within half a year and join my team.

Well, it’s already been over half a year since then.

I never had to mention it first.

There is no place in our team anyway…

“I thought he changed his mind because he hadn’t said anything until now.”

I only knew that the story was over.

But wouldn’t that be the case at all?

Erwen denied my words with all his might.

“What are you talking about! I can’t be like that. We’re friends for the first night!”

Technically, my first night friend was Hans A.

He was a heartthrob or something.

“So what do you want to say?”

“That… I think it will take a little longer.”

“What does that mean?”

“Everyone is in the 5th grade, right? I wonder if there is no time to squeeze in right now……. In fact, it seems like there is no hope now……. Oh no, right now in the same house. We live together…….”

“What are you talking about? Don’t mumble and speak plainly.”

At my words, Erwen gulped down the remaining alcohol in his glass. “I regret it. Then…

why

didn’t I accept it when Mr.

But I think I know what you’re trying to say.

He wanted to join our team, but he couldn’t ask for one of them to be removed.

It’s not even that his specs are better than the current members.

Well, I haven’t changed my mind or changed my mind.

“Anyway. So, what I want to say is…”

“Stop.”

I stopped talking halfway through.

First of all, there was a misunderstanding that needed to be cleared.

“I had no intention of putting you on the team now from the beginning.”

“…yes?”

For a moment there was stillness.

It was a little while later that Erwen’s pupils, which were blankly fixed in the air, became questionable.

“What do you mean by that? Surely you didn’t say anything at that time? I thought that meant affirmation…….”

Erwen’s gaze, as if his mentality went out, could not stay in one place and swayed here and there.

I didn’t mean it in that way.

He cut it off before the misunderstanding grew bigger.

“Erwen I will create a clan.”

“Clan K?!”

“Of course not now, it will take a few more months. But if you don’t mind, I want you to come in—”

“Okay!! I want to go in!!”

The answer came before I finished speaking.

“No, but first, a detailed explanation—”

“It’s okay! I’m going in anyway!”

“…If so. Anyway, this is a secret. I haven’t told anyone on my team yet.”

“Uh then I’m the first one to make this proposal…?”

huh?

I tilted my head.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

You didn’t even say you were making a clan, so how do you propose? In the first place, Misha and Einar don’t even need to ask a doctor.

Raven, who belongs to the Mage Tower, will probably refuse.

I don’t know Mr. Bear.

‘The clan seemed to have some bad memories.’

That was when I was thinking about it.

“Whoah hee hee hee!!”

Erwen started to let out a strange laugh.

***

The drinking party with Erwen, which started early in the evening, lasted longer than expected.

Originally, I was going to leave after hearing about the current situation in addition to the business that summoned me, but…

“What? The clan master is bald?”

“Yes, it is. How hard it was to hold back laughter when the wig came off while hunting.”

The conversation with Erwen today was fun.

Is it because you haven’t been drinking in a long time?

It’s nothing, so why is it so funny?

‘Ah, the kids will be waiting for you at home…’

I thought about that on the way, but every time I did, I couldn’t find the timing to get up because Erwen brought up an interesting story.

But now it’s really time to go back.

“That’s enough of us—”

“Oh right!”

“huh?”

“Did I mention that I ate a new essence this time?”

what? You ate the essence?

Isn’t this something I can’t get over without hearing it again?

“It’s a very unusual ability. It suits me well.”

“Stop lingering and tell me. What did you eat?”

I adjusted my posture and sat down again, paying attention to Erwen’s words.

First of all, it was a level 5 integer.

As it was the essence that my veteran sister recommended and ate, it matched very well with the bow fairy.

‘I won’t have to delete this later.’

I thought I would have to work out some of the training routes for Erwen when I got back, and I asked him a lot about the essence he had acquired this time.

“Wow, you know what? Mister, your eyes suddenly became bright.”

That’s natural.

Anyway, I am a player who loved this game more than anyone else.

“Isn’t it the essence that has a lot of talk about being so unique? I can’t help but wonder what it actually feels like.”

“Still, I’m at a loss as to how to explain this. I can’t show it myself…”

Well that’s right.

It was a car that I nodded in agreement.

“Hey, that’s why… Mister.”

Erwen smirked at me with a twisted tail.

A red tinge appeared on his face, probably because he was drunk.

“Do you want to go upstairs to see the supernatural power for a while?”

…What do we do?
