Episode 317 Memory (2)
Lethe’s Blessing.
To be honest, the first time I heard the name, it was meaningful.
It couldn’t be simply a coincidence that the efficacy of a drug with the same name as a goddess in Greek mythology was ‘oblivion’.
Oh, of course I didn’t think too deeply at the time.
Isn’t it a city where evil spirits reveal their identity and are active?
Even if the name came out of the player’s mouth, there was nothing strange at all.
But…
‘I never thought that player was me…’
Starting with the ‘nonsense’ that Felik Barker had put out a while ago, I couldn’t even laugh as these things continued one after another.
So it was a time when I was just blank.
“No, but wait…”
Ipaello stared at me suspiciously.
“How did you know about that drug? Less than twenty people have given out trials so far.”
Oh that.
“I heard that Felik Barker received the drug from the lord of the castle.”
“Hmm?”
Despite the slight suspicion, I straightened my shoulders confidently.
That’s because I didn’t lie.
In fact, Felik Barker has Lethe’s blessing.
Well, he didn’t tell me in detail, he just said that he received an elixir made by an alchemist as a reward from the lord of the castle.
“Well, the lord of the castle seems to be watching with interest lately, so that might be the case.”
Without lengthy excuses, Ifael soon agreed.
Just wondering about this one?
“By the way, where did you hear the name Lethe’s blessing?”
“Well, I think they said that. Maybe I heard it wrong.”
“Hehe, it seems that they have already made sweetfish among themselves?”
Soon the doubt was erased from his eyes.
So, this is the end of this issue.
I asked something I was curious about.
“But is the medicine okay? They say it’s been a while since they made it. Are there any other problems?”
“Don’t worry. There are no side effects other than the jagged range of memory loss.”
It’s jagged…….
It seems that it hasn’t been researched enough to mass-produce it with the same performance yet.
“But considering what you’re going to use, it’s kind of like a side effect, isn’t it?”
“That’s the case, but I fed it, but it’s defective, so it doesn’t work or it can be done.”
“That kind of case is unlikely. If the effect was too much, it was too much. There was never a defect in the first test piece.”
“Is the effect too much?”
Were you excited when the topic of conversation moved to your field of study like a scholar? Ipaello told me to wait for a while and took out a box that was stored in one corner of the workshop.
“Now, this is the first elixir I made.”
The box he opened contained a pure white ring.
There were more than ten seats available for storage, but all but one were empty.
“Looks like it’s twice as big as anything I’ve ever seen.”
“Whoops, it’s not just the size that makes it big. If you eat one of these, your memory for a lifetime will be erased.”
“……what?”
Losing memories of a lifetime?
But then, isn’t it a bit like a bad thing?
No, why did you make a mass-produced product with a prototype with better performance in the first place?
When asked back out of pure curiosity, Ipaello gave an answer like a researcher at a large corporation.
“Oh, that’s because it costs a lot to produce one egg. The lord of the castle said it wasn’t worth it.”
As an office worker, I was fully convinced.
‘Well, since it was originally made to be used on witnesses, it would have been effective enough to erase memories in just a few days.’
After that, I talked with Ipaello for about 5 more minutes, and that was the end of the day’s conversation.
***
Time continues to flow One day before D-Day.
We checked our plans one last time.
After everything has been done, the question remains as to whether this can be called a plan… but
what can I do? Whether it be porridge or rice, you have to try it first.
Anyway, to summarize the big prongs of the plan, it was like this.
1. Infiltrate the lord castle and steal the fragment stone of the records.
Please note that this course is my sole assignment.
I heard that there will be few troops left in the lord castle tomorrow anyway? From Amelia’s point of view, it seems that my skills will be sufficient for robbing empty houses.
Anyway, while I was at the lord’s castle, Amelia decided to stay right next to her older sister…
The problem with the plan starts here.
2. After joining up with Amelia, he escapes with his sister.
I’ve said that for now, but nothing has been properly decided in this process.
It’s the [unsound contract] that Felik Barker put on Laura.
And…….
3. Sister Rain Wales got a new identity on earth and lived happily.
This is all of our plan.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s going to work out at all.
It’s not that I’m not careful enough.
The only problem is that the most important part is missing.
[The time zone observed at least once does not change.] No
matter what you do in the past, the future is the same, and the evidence has been witnessed to the extent that it overflows.
Dwalkie and Raven.
Heart of the Barbarian.
And even Lethe’s blessing.
I already have this much, but Amelia will add more.
I must have felt a sense of déjà vu and recalled old memories several times in the day that rolled like a treadmill every day.
Took.
Then something touched my forearm.
I turned my head to the side and saw Amelia holding out a bottle.
“……drink?”
“It is.”
“suddenly?”
When I said something ridiculous, Amelia replied expressionlessly.
“Because the final day is tomorrow night.”
“No matter how it is…”
“I have something to tell you.”
Oh, that’s what I would say.
I took the bottle and unstopped it.
It was a bit funny though.
Before we talk, isn’t it that he’s going to give me a drink because he can’t get drunk? Well, even if you’re sober, it might be easier to talk if the other person is drunk.
“Eh…”
He swallowed half of the bottle in a straight gulp, then opened his mouth.
“So what are you talking about? Is it important?”
“It’s not like that. But… I haven’t been able to talk to you properly lately.”
Amelia said that and averted her gaze.
You’re ashamed right now, right?
“Uh… that’s right…”
Even I feel hot for no reason.
Oh, is it because of the alcohol?
Whoa, this drink is really poisonous. I also write a lot.
I was about to ask where did you get this kind of liquor from, when Amelia called me.
“Yandel.”
“I heard you should use a pseudonym at the dorm?”
“It’s over today anyway. Even if someone listens, there won’t be any problems.”
“…so why did you call me?”
“I have to tell you one thing.”
After saying that, Amelia quickly corrected her words.
“No, it’s an apology.”
“…… Apology?”
As soon as I heard it, I felt something ominous.
And, as always, those premonitions never went away.
Tuk Degur.
The bottle, which was more than half empty, fell from his hand and rolled on the floor.
Ha, somehow the alcohol was very bitter…
“What did you drink?”
When I asked, bringing her unmoving arm to her thigh, Amelia replied with a still expressionless face.
“All the drugs I have that are not life-threatening.”
Saying that with that expression makes me look like a real psychopath.
Aside from the chills down my spine, I knew one thing thanks to that.
‘Yes, I didn’t mean to kill him.’
I mercilessly swung the small emergency hammer that I had slung around my thigh like a dagger.
unfortunately it didn’t work.
Whoo-!
Amelia leans back and the hammer cuts through the air.
“I knew that would happen from the moment I lowered my hand.”
Every time I fight, I surprise every time, but now I can see what I’m trying to do just by looking at my eyes.
“Nimiral.”
Her muscles lost strength, and her body staggered when she jumped up, and Amelia helped her in time to fall to the floor.
ok i knew that
“I’m sorry……!”
From the support position, he suddenly moved his arm and pressed Amelia’s neck.
Triangle choke in technical terms.
However, this woman was also not easy.
Quaang-!
A strong shock was applied to the temple, and the body fell out.
I saw two women in front of my spinning eyes.
Apparently, in that brief moment, he summoned an alternate body and fired a high kick…
‘That’s wrong.’
After being poisoned with drugs and injured in the head, the body does not move at all.
“……You really never went easy.”
Amelia let out a blank laugh and picked me up from the fall and laid me on the bed.
And he just spat out his own words.
“I’m sorry. I don’t think I can be your teammate.”
I asked as I desperately grabbed Amelia’s wrist as she turned away.
“What are you… what are you trying to do?”
Amelia didn’t answer.
I just removed my hand and put on the equipment one by one with a spleen face as if going into a limb.
And…
“When you wake up, open the drawer.”
That was my last memory.
***
Amelia Laneways looked in the mirror.
Then he straightened his clothes and brushed his hair.
The scar on the back of the ear, which had been cut off a long time ago, was revealed.
A wound that will surely be a flaw if you want a woman’s life.
However, this could not be called a price. Because I had to sacrifice more than this to stand here today.
“…….”
But for some reason, the footsteps do not fall easily.
What is the alternative reason?
Amelia stood in front of the mirror and observed her feelings.
It wasn’t because I was afraid.
From that day on, to her, life was just a means to an end.
It is the same even if today, if nothing can be changed and decades of life that has been moving only with a goal ends in failure.
Failure is not scary to her.
Rather, even that is close to salvation.
All the while running without rest, on the one hand, I was eagerly looking forward to that day. Holding only the shield that he did not give up at least until the end.
what if
What the hell is grabbing your feet?
“…….”
Amelia turned her back.
I saw a sleeping barbarian.
When he made a face like a demon asking what he was doing, he snored and slept peacefully without knowing the world.
trudge trudge.
Amelia went over to the bed and opened the nightstand drawer.
Then he put the note he had written down in it and turned his back.
Then, suddenly, I remembered a conversation we had a few months ago.
[If I succeed in rescuing your sister and go back to the original time, if I solve all the restrictions.] [If I solve it?] [
Come
into my clan then.]
Thinking about it again, it’s not possible. didn’t even
Does it have to be realistic?
But even so, if I imagined it once, I think it would have been quite enjoyable. Entering the labyrinth with this stupid man and exploring will be full of all sorts of accidents.
Yes, sure…
“Ah…”
Only then did Amelia realize the reason why her feet couldn’t move.
It was a pity.
A longing for a future that will never come.
Turbuck.
But feelings are just feelings.
If your feet are heavy, you just need to apply more force than that.
She didn’t stop walking.
profit.
Soon after, she caught her breath in front of the door and turned the doorknob.
“Boo fire!!”
Fires were raging in the eastern sector.
Amelia moved quickly through the crowds in the streets.
I lied to that man that it was tomorrow night… but
the day of execution was today.
