Episode 309 Round Table (3)
The silence that had happened many times during the conversation continued for a long time.
“…….”
“…….”
Auril Gavis looked at me with a calm gaze, and I also faced him without avoiding it.
Even though I didn’t want to show off, I was choking for some reason.
and in such a time.
“Now…”
Auril Gavis opened his mouth.
In a calm manner, as if nothing had happened.
“Then is it my turn now?”
My heart pounded at those words.
This old man was like the abyss that a philosopher said.
It is the same for him to look beyond the line through this conversation.
[How many people have cleared the original text 20 years later?]
He asked the first question to see if there was a ‘replacement’ for me.
[Do you want to go back to Earth?]
The second time I checked for flaws.
If so, what is the third?
The answer was coming out of his mouth now.
“What was the name of the body that you crossed over the door of the abyss and your soul dwelled in?”
My name is Bjorn Yandel.
A means to escape from this spiritual world hidden in anonymity and find myself.
“Don’t say the word Nibelz Enze. That day, I felt something ambiguous, so I checked.”
When I gave the name ‘Nivellez Entze’, I remembered what I was looking at with meaningful eyes.
At the time, I thought it was just going well.
“What I asked that day was the name you use ‘here’, right?”
Auril Gavis, noticing the trick I had mixed up, began investigating.
“Did you know? There are a total of seven people in Lapdonia who use that name. Six of them were able to personally visit and confirm that they are ordinary people…” “I couldn’t find one.
”
“Level 6 explorer Nivelz Enze.”
“The race was surprisingly barbarian. I thought it was a human-style naming.”
Every time I spoke, it felt like the walls were closing in from all sides, and thanks to that, I realized.
[…Are you a barbarian?]
Even those words that I said as a joke earlier were part of the conversation to reveal my inner thoughts.
If I had given the name of a false identity, they would have assumed that the race would have followed suit.
“Then I’ll ask again.”
Soon, Auril Gavis repeated the same question once more.
“What was the name of the body that you crossed over the door of the abyss and your soul dwelled in?”
There was no option to go around by another name.
Because the answer that can be said when asking a question with such conditions attached is fixed.
‘Nimiral.’
I don’t know anything else, but I have to hide my name.
Didn’t you know what kind of ‘person’ Auril Gavis was?
It’s still too early to conclude that they are enemies, but at least one thing is certain.
[How can I feel comfortable with myself? Of course it’s sad I also feel responsible. He will probably live with this feeling for the rest of his life and atone for it.]
This old man can never become an ally.
Therefore…
“I will not answer.”
Exercising the right to remain silent
“Hmm……”
Auril Gavis didn’t say anything unexpectedly.
I just observe my reaction as if it’s interesting.
“It must have been a very difficult question, right? Well, it’s only natural that you’re wary of me. Then I’ll change it to another question.”
He didn’t have much regret for not hearing my name and continued talking again.
“How long has it been since you opened your eyes in that body?”
It’s a question about age.
Knowing that I came from 20 years later, with that information, Aurl Gavis can guess when I will open my eyes in the body of the ‘Barbarian’.
so that.
“I won’t answer.”
“Okay? Another question then—.”
“No, now the question and answer period is over.”
I ended the truth game without regret.
There are still many questions I want to ask, but this old man is no cat’s pocket.
If you want something, you have to pay for it.
And I judged
It’s dangerous to pay more here.
“……It’s over for a moment? What do you mean by that?”
“It’s literally. You were the player, so there shouldn’t be a problem?”
At my one-sided words, Gavis, who will lick his lips, stared at me.
Well, I couldn’t argue logically.
It’s not like I’ve decided in advance how many times I’ll ask questions.
It was just expressing regret.
“Unexpected. I’m sure you’ve got a lot of questions left over from me.”
“well.”
Certainly, the list of questions remained page by page.
In fact, the next question I would ask was whether it was possible to return to the original time by using the fragments of records possessed by the lord of the castle.
But…
‘It’s good that I didn’t do it in advance.’
Now that I think about it, I’m glad I postponed it.
Through that question, the information that I am now in Noark could have been exposed.
“You don’t seem to want to change your decision?”
Soon after, the old man who was staring at me sighed deeply and then suddenly spat out words of praise.
“The more you look, the smarter you get.”
“…….”
“Then what are you going to do now? Are you going back?”
Contrary to my expectations, Auril Gavis came out as a gentleman and said as if he would send me back whenever I wanted.
‘……What do we do?’
I didn’t expect that the truth game would end so early, so I needed time to organize my thoughts.
‘It’s really unfortunate to just go back like this.’
After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to follow the plan I had laid out earlier.
“How about what I said earlier? I meant to have a conversation in the presence of others.”
“Huh? Isn’t that already over?”
“I think the idea is good. I’ll have to fix a few things.”
Cancer I came this far, but I have to see the faces.
***
The game of truth with Auril Gavis is like Russian roulette. This is especially true in that it makes you nervous every time you pass a turn.
But…
‘The limited edition information is enough.’
Anyway, I’m full of things I don’t know.
And Auril Gavis wasn’t the only one with useful information. Especially if the target is the evil spirits of the other world who were called to this world decades earlier than I was.
“Hmm, you came up with a pretty interesting idea.”
Free sharing of information, not answering questions.
However, it must be true and half of the participants must be information that they do not know.
When the future round table was explained and the rules were explained, Auril Gavis laughed happily.
“I think it’s going to be okay. I just thought of it, so the frame is well set. What did you do in the first place?”
The answer is an ordinary office worker.
Of course, I have no intention of telling you honestly.
“I thought you said the question and answer period was over?”
When I answered harshly, Auril Gavis murmured a little bit unfairly.
“…I just asked out of curiosity. And you didn’t ask for a big secret in the first place, did you?”
Definitely not wrong.
But since you asked, I think there must be an intention hidden in this question.
“Anyway, wait a minute. To add the rules you mentioned, I guess I’ll have to give them more permissions.”
Soon, Auril Gavis put her hand on the jewel and closed her eyes as if concentrating.
and how long has it been
Woo woo woo woo-.
Although it was not clearly visible to the naked eye, the air layer around the jewel began to refract like a haze on a road in midsummer.
“It’s over.”
“Looks easier than I thought, doesn’t it?”
“Hehe, it makes me very unfair to say that. Believe it or not, it’s your choice. With this, I’ve lost most of my authority over this space.”
Hmmm, I don’t know if I say that…….
As I glanced at him like that, the old man explained something he hadn’t even asked.
“Representatively, it has the ability to manifest. It is still possible to create an object by concentrating one’s thoughts, but it will be different from the actual thing.”
I flinched as I overheard it.
The ability to realize, the concentration of thoughts, and that kind of thing was good.
To think it would be different from the real thing…
“Wait a minute, maybe that’s why the cider tasted bland…?”
Aurill Gavis nodded without hesitation in response to the question he asked just in case.
“Well, is there a problem?”
Of course there is.
It means that you won’t be able to taste the refreshing taste of that cider from now on.
“…….”
“That’s a serious level of cider addiction.”
“…….”
“But since I miss you that much, it must have been quite a while since I came here?”
what is this old man
It’s really hard to dig up information even in this situation.
Thanks to that, I came to my senses, so I quietly asked.
“…That’s okay, what’s the reason for going this far? Just looking at it, that authority seems like a very important skill.”
“Whoops.”
Auril Gavis replied as if she knew how I was, but was cute.
“Didn’t you tell me then that you received an invitation from a person nicknamed GM?”
Oh, I’ve said that before.
“so?”
“That means that the ownership of this space passed to him. I don’t know how that happened, but if it’s going to go to someone else anyway, there’s no reason to hand over the details.”
I guess I know roughly what it’s like.
Even if it’s something you would never do normally, it’s a different story if you’re reluctant to do something that has a fixed service end date.
It’s not a waste at all even if you do all kinds of bullshit.
I just have one question.
“Why don’t you ask more about GM?”
“Hehe, didn’t you say you didn’t know anything other than that nickname?”
Oh, that’s true too.
As I nodded my head and understood, Auril Gavis murmured.
“And even if I know more, I don’t feel like asking.”
“……why?”
When I asked as if I couldn’t really understand, Auril Gavis continued with a somewhat lonely voice.
“I told you. The observed future cannot be changed no matter what.”
Well, do you mean not knowing is medicine?
It was a time when I felt like I knew something about what he said.
“Enough of small talk, let’s go. I think they’ll enjoy it too.”
Auril Gavis got up first and I followed him.
To the room with the round table that I am so familiar with.
***
A round table with dozens of seats.
Awesome profit.
As Auril Gavis enters through the opened door, the eyes of the four men and women sitting inside gather.
“……master.”
Their reactions were the same.
I don’t know what he did the last time he let me go, but everyone looked at Gavis and looked at him with fearful eyes.
And on the other hand…
“Behind… At that time, he is there too.”
He shows curiosity to me.
But maybe it’s because Aurl Gavis drew a line about my identity last time?
No one dares to open their mouth.
“…….”
” …….”
Such a strange silence hung over the Round Table room for a while.
The one who
ended
the silence was Aurill Gavis .
Consideration for the weak who can let go of tension from the beginning.
“It is inevitable. Because you showed that way at the end…….”
The unknown woman opened her mouth as if letting out the breath she had been holding back, and Auril Gavis laughed, saying that she was sorry. From
that point on, the atmosphere became hostile.
“Anyway, everyone gathered together . Great. It’s because I made something fun while talking with this friend this time.”
Soon after, Auril Gavis put down a jewel in the center of the round table
and continued. Couldn’t you share? Maybe this will solve the problem.”
“Can I ask for a more detailed explanation?”
Aurill Gavis briefly explained the rules of the meeting at the question of the man in black, who was presumed to be the leader of Orcules.
After the talk, the reactions that came out were different.
“It’s difficult to say information that more than half of them don’t know
.
” In the meantime, everyone has been busy hiding their true feelings.”
The
middle-aged man with the name Kagureas opened his mouth as if he was
happy
. The grave-tongued little Annihilator only asked one question:
“Of course I’m going to join. The same goes for this friend next to me.”
The eyes of the four men and women gathered again at Auril Gavis’ answer.
It was a look of awkwardness somewhere.
Well, if a stranger suddenly appeared and said he would join a meeting like this, even if there was information ‘ It
looks like I’m receiving favoritism, but they’re probably wondering if I’m really on the same level as them.’
Well, what should I do?
I think it would be better to prove my qualifications and move on. After thinking about it for a while, I called Auril Gavis. No, it was
exactly the car I was going to call.
“Hey…”
“Oh, just a master.” call it You are the only one who knows my name.”
What suddenly?
It was at that moment when the old man cut my words like a knife.
“……!”
“……!”
“……! “
There
was a difference
in the eyes of the four men and
women .
I know……?”
I didn’t know that he didn’t even tell me his name
.
As I was thinking positively while trying to control my bewildered feelings, I saw Aurl Gavis smiling so that only I could
see it.
The reason the old man is helping me is obvious.
If it weren’t for me, Auril Gavis would have no reason to participate in this meeting.
The reason he accepted my proposal in the first place was because he wanted to get a little more information about me.
No, that’s all. ?
” Sit down. It’s natural to be wary,
but then wouldn’t that friend just have to be the first to open up
?
” “Rather than that, shouldn’t we first ask if everyone will participate?”
He opened his mouth without hiding his displeasure at the old man’s scheme.
But what is this?
“……!”
“……!”
Also, the pupils of the four men and women dilated
, as if they had seen something they couldn’t
believe
. ”
No, I really can’t say anything.
I can’t even laugh because I’m
dumbfounded.
So I just pulled a chair anywhere and sat down. Starting from
this, one by one, people opened their mouths and expressed their intention to participate.
“I will participate.”
“Me too. is.”
“…Who would refuse such a position here?”
Zero people declared their absence.
Auril Gavis took over the role of moderator with a satisfied smile.
“Then, the agreement has been reached unanimously. . There is no need to introduce anything, so let’s
start
now .
Isn’t it the first order?
Depending on the quality of the information I spit out, the level of information they will bring out will also go up
.
There is something I learned at the round table 20 years later.
If you pretend to be present, you will get
rice cakes even while you are sleeping. Being famous is the same context as receiving applause even if you poop.
In fact, even if you turn over with trivial information during the round table meeting, there will be some hidden meaning behind it. ‘ Hmm,
then what should I do?’
While I continued to think for a while, I slowly looked at the faces of the members sitting at the round table.
Everyone was showing strong interest in me, and among them, Aurel Gavis was the most enthusiastic
. I’m dying of curiosity, right?’
Thanks to that, my worries are over.
I know what this old man expects, but…
‘There’s no way.’ After
I finished thinking about how much time I had for the round table,
I opened my mouth,
something that would satisfy the other members without exposing unnecessary information to Aurl Gavis. “The land
witch is alive.”
???.
The 1st formula: Blocking information.
