Chapter 305

Episode 305 Rain Wales (3)

Amelia is a strong woman.

I don’t think so because I know how to use auras and have a few rare high-level essences. I’ve never seen this woman afraid of anything.

But now.

“…….”

Amelia’s body was shaking.

Whoever the father over there in the kitchen was, she had no reason to be afraid anymore.

‘Is it a trauma?’

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

Because I too had a similar experience in the past.

Even though I thought it was safe in my head, I hadn’t been able to ride a car for several years, and when I woke up somewhere in my sleep, I had to wander around the whole building to find the source.

It is engraved in the unconscious regardless of the will.

Poo-!

that it is terrifying

“……Are you okay?”

Amelia did not answer my question.

So I grabbed my trembling wrist.

“Emily.”

Only then did he come to his senses, and the answer came back.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you…… What did you say?”

“I asked if you were okay.”

“…….”

That’s not okay.

It wasn’t until the noise from the kitchen died down that Amelia spoke again.

“……You looked like you couldn’t see it.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

I didn’t see anything.

Even if I saw it, I wouldn’t think that it would be like I can’t see it.

“Because of those whoops, I’m always on fire and want it.”

Then a man appeared from the kitchen.

He had a well-trained body, but was about 170 cm tall.

Contrary to what I had imagined, the impression was very ordinary.

“Isn’t the owner too harsh today?”

“Isn’t it serious? They’re ungrateful bitches who don’t even know how to be thankful. Enough with the cramped story, let’s have a drink.”

The man sat down at the table of a customer who seemed to be a regular and started chatting while drinking alcohol.

“That man was my adoptive father.”

“Adoptive father?”

“It’s a common story here. Children who have lost their parents need a place to stay, and there are many people in the city who will take care of such children.”

“It’s spread out…….”

For some reason, I think I already know the reason. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It would never be such a noble motive as to become a nest for children left alone.

Amelia said it was a ‘common story’.

Such stories are mostly hyper-realistic.

“It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship. Children are protected until they’re old enough to work, and adoptive parents can get cheap labor thereafter.”

In this city, all rights to the adopted child belong to the adoptive father, and that right is absolute.

At least until the kids grow up and become adults.

It is impossible to kill or escape the adoptive parents. Because it sets a precedent. To be retaliated against by others for being ungrateful.

“……Right.”

“Still, in the case of our sisters, it was a little better. Their limbs were fine, and they were so healthy that they never got sick. That’s why they didn’t fall off.”

“How old were you then?”

“Five years old. My sister is three years older than me.”

Still, it wasn’t bad at first.

Unlike when he was with his father who was injured and weakened in the labyrinth, the food was served properly and it was not cold.

Well, even at such a young age, I was bullied and took care of all sorts of chores…

“That wasn’t too hard either. Everyone lives like this anyway. I even considered myself lucky to have an older sister to rely on.”

At that time, Amelia said that she thought vaguely.

Growing up like this and one day becoming an adult, that’s when our lives will begin.

“But I guess it didn’t work out.”

“……It was all because of me.”

It was when Amelia was nine years old.

While helping out at a bar, a drunkard tried to strangle Amelia.

The reason was that food was spilled.

“It was my sister who stepped out at that time.”

Amelia’s sister saw him while serving and ran to the kitchen. Then, after picking up a kitchen knife, he slowly walked over and attacked the back of the drunkard, accurately slicing the carotid artery.

“I only found out later, but none of the explorers in the tavern said they felt anything like a human presence until my sister went behind him with a sword.”

However, the drunkard did not die that day.

He was able to prolong his life by receiving treatment with a potion in time. However, through that incident, a girl’s talent was revealed to the world.

“The next day, someone came from Seongju’s side. They told me to hand over my sister because they would cover up this matter.”

Surprisingly, the adoptive father declined the offer.

And with the money he had, he delivered the price of the potion and the apology to the drunk to cover the incident on his own.

There was only one reason for doing so.

Because that’s reasonable.

“My sister became a ‘driver’ from that day on.”

Both sides are judged.

He’s a talented kid, so if he raises him well, he’ll be able to make a lot more money than having him work at a bar.

“Actually, my sister had a talent. After only a year after joining the looting team, she was recognized for her contributions and received a small distribution.”

When that happened, the adoptive father thought.

Since they were born with the same bloodline, wouldn’t Amelia have a talent?

“It wasn’t long before I became a ‘driver’ and was sold into a team of marauders. And soon my talent was recognized.”

Amelia moved on by briefly explaining the next story, and I didn’t dig too deep either.

You don’t have to ask to know what kind of life the Rain Wales sisters would have lived as ‘drivers’.

I would have just endured and endured.

The one remaining lineage in this world depends on each other.

“Anyway, that’s why, now my sister belongs to the pyromancers’ gang, and while we’re in the city, we’re working at a tavern and being pampered.”

At the end of her life from childhood to boyhood, Amelia finished her story.

“How about it? Are you curious about me now?”

“Yes, that’s enough.”

I heard about this next story when I was planning it.

The hopes of these sisters, who dreamed of being free as adults, are trampled on.

It will happen in about 5 months from now.

Kwak-

A common tragedy.

***

It was a time when the number of people entering the bar gradually increased after noon.

“……excuse me.”

A girl came to our table.

A girl in her early teens with red hair and long curly hair.

I had a little bruise on my face, but I messed up my hair to cover it up, so it was very messy.

“Can I bring you some more alcohol…?”

That’s what the clerk usually says when you’re in one store for too long.

It means to order more or to turn it off.

“…….”

Amelia averted her gaze, unable to meet the girl’s eyes.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

“What’s your name?”

“……Amelia Laneways.”

Yes, it must be an embarrassing thing to face your childhood self.

He knows what’s going to happen, so he’ll feel guilty.

“I’m leaving.”

Amelia tried to leave, but I stopped her.

“Wait a minute.”

Isn’t it the Amelia mite mode that I finally met?

can’t miss this opportunity

“How old are you kid?”

“It’s fourteen…”

Oh, 20 years ago, fourteen…

“It was thirty-four.”

As I muttered, Amelia turned her head and glared at me. It seems that he was annoyed that his personal information was leaked.

“Thirty-four…?”

Amelia seemed not to understand what she was saying, but nevertheless kept a bright expression at the thought of being in front of a customer.

“When he smiled, he looked like this.”

“yes?”

“Ah, I meant to smile often because it looks good.”

“Ah yes…….”

The grown-up Amelia had a poop-chewed expression, while the young Amelia didn’t know what to do with a bewildered look.

So, the joke ends here.

“Okay, I’m leaving now, so pay for it.”

“Ah yes!”

I didn’t think I would be able to handle it if I did more, so I quickly paid the bill and left the bar. And when you just returned home.

“…Maybe it’s just what you said.”

Amelia, who had been walking with a rotten expression the whole time, muttered bitterly.

“What do you mean?”

“After listening, I remembered. We had a conversation like this before.”

Oh, it must have been because of that shit-chewed expression.

I thought you were mad at me for nothing.

“Amelia.”

“Emily.”

“Kuhm yes Emily. Would you like another drink?”

Saying that, he took out the liquor stored in the subspace.

It was all carried by marauders.

“I refuse. Drinking anyway doesn’t mean anything to me.”

“For integers?”

“okay.”

To put it simply, it means that you can’t get drunk even if you drink because your poison resistance and mental resistance are high.

“Then why did you drink at the tavern earlier?”

“That’s because… if you don’t drink at a bar, you look suspicious.”

“Not a word.”

“what?”

“Don’t be serious. What’s so difficult about just having a drink? Isn’t it okay if I drink alone?”

Amelia asked as she pulled out a bottle and poured it into a glass.

“……Why do you want to drink in the first place?”

“We still have more conversations to share.”

Do you really think I’m going to have a drink?

Earlier, I listened to stories about my childhood for a long time at a bar, but in fact, there was something else I wanted to hear.

Isn’t that the end of the coming out?

“Are you still talking?”

“What are you pretending not to know? We have no secrets anymore.”

“……Don’t pretend to be friendly. It makes me feel bad.”

“Really? Then tell me I won’t do it. When we were making the plans in the past, we didn’t say anything about ‘Nivellez Entze’. I heard that Auril Gavis was there for the first time yesterday.”

Amelia at the time refused to communicate with me.

Although we cooperated, we did not intend to open up everything and rely on each other.

However, considering that he even talked about the past today, it is safe to say that he gained some credit.

“If you say that, what will change? You’re thinking that you can’t change anything anyway.”

uh that’s right

In fact, that thought has not changed even now.

But…

“You cried yesterday and said it was too late to give up.”

“…I didn’t cry.”

The little things are just going to go away.

“Is it? Anyway, since you said you wouldn’t give up, I’m seriously thinking

of helping you.” “So I’ll help you?”

“I don’t think there’s anything like that.” “That

means

there are other reasons?

” I want to pay off the debt.”

Amelia didn’t understand.

“…Why?”

There are so many reasons to tell you one by one.

First of all, Amelia knows my weakness

. Also ,

Amelia is strong.

From what I’ve experienced, she seems to have a kind heart and she has a lot of experience, so in some parts, it becomes her will.

So, in short…

“Honestly, the first meeting was a bit like that, but I like you.”

“…What?”

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t mean that I like you as a member of

the opposite sex.”

”

I didn’t misunderstand

you.” If you pay off the debt, you will definitely want to pay it off. So, if I can, I want to save your sister too. Then I’ll do you any favors.”

“Wealth please? No, because what the hell are you going to ask me for…”

Amelia looked at me with wary eyes and stepped back
