194 Episode Bifron (4)
Once in the land of the dead.
Once under the sewer.
One time by chance when Noark is closed and in front of our inn.
‘If you count until today, a total of four times.’
At this point, it’s hard to say that it’s a tough relationship.
Therefore, it was necessary to gradually change the attitude toward this woman.
“… … Aren’t you going?”
“Yeah, I changed my mind.”
Isn’t there a saying that knowledge is power?
In the meantime, I didn’t want to get tangled up, so I tried to erase interest and avoid it… … .
[…] … Not a human woman.]
[Amelia Rainwales.]
Somehow, we even knew each other’s names.
It means that avoiding is no longer a good thing.
‘Now I need to find out. What the hell is this woman doing?’
If there is a person who keeps talking around the house, of course, you need to check what kind of person they are.
Who should be reported to the police and expelled?
Or, are you a person so frightening that you have to leave your house and run away?
Knowing that, you can respond appropriately.
“Jinkasar Feljain!!”
After waiting for a while, the roof door shattered open.
What came in was a tight fit with a black eyepatch.
Apparently he’s the leader of the Eastern faction… … .
“If you dare to enter our district without saying a word, you must have been prepared… … . But you, your head… … ?”
Pak-pak, who appeared with great momentum, blurred the tail of his horse.
It seems that the appearance of the whining with a jellyfish cut was shocking.
“… … Maybe it was a wig?”
“… … .”
Jingjing didn’t respond and bowed his head.
A silence that lasted for a while.
But, was there a lot of sediment accumulated in each other to feel the feelings of sympathy?
The situation that had been paused for a while re-emerged.
“Hey, you think I’ll look at you because I’m pitiful for that! As of today, I will end the affair with you!”
“Pooh, pooh hahaha! San-nim, who has never been to the labyrinth, do you think you can beat me with a lot of numbers? Me too, a level 6 explorer?”
Pak Pak, who declares war, and Jin Jing, who exaggerates and smiles awkwardly, showing confidence.
As a matter of fact, it’s not even level 6.
Because he was too weak, I questioned him because it was a whining who confessed that he was actually level 7.
‘There’s no way such a guy can be so relaxed with dozens of people, is it because he trusts me that he’s so low-key?’
It was kind of funny, but it was serious again.
“Yeah, I know you were a level 6 explorer. But that’s why we brought in a great person.”
“… … ?”
“Guys, go for it!”
After Pak Pak Pak said, dozens of youngsters gathered behind them backed off and made a way, and a woman appeared through them.
Amelia Rainwales.
An 8th-floor explorer from Noark.
“Barbarian? why are you here… … .”
She peeped through the men with an annoyed expression on her face, looked at me and frowned.
I felt a little bit rewarded.
How surprised I was when I first saw you too.
“That’s what I want to ask. Why the hell are you here?”
Amelia chewed her words as if to organize her thoughts, then Pak Pak, who was looking at the two of us, carefully opened her mouth.
“… … Do you know that barbarian?”
I’ve only believed in this woman, but it seems that I was worried that she seemed to be close with me.
“quiet.”
As Amelia muttered a brief chorus, her mouth was closed in shock.
And about 3 seconds passed.
“Bjorn Jandel, hand him over to me.”
Amelia is making such a request at first as if she has finished organizing her thoughts.
Of course, there was no way I could respond to this.
“This guy is mine.”
Barbarians do not abandon their subordinates.
… … At least if there’s no reason to.
“… … boss!!”
As soon as I answered without even thinking about it, the whining looking at me with a moved face.
On the other hand, Amelia seemed to not understand.
“… … Load?”
A rising star in the explorer industry, a face that doesn’t understand why I’m here or why I’m the boss of a thug group.
I whispered briefly.
“I have a situation, too.”
“Right.”
Amelia nodded her head coolly.
You might ask what’s going on, but it’s probably because of his personality that he doesn’t.
“Then I will take you by force.”
When negotiations broke down, Amelia immediately took out a dagger and took a fighting stance.
Does he know what a barbarian is?
I opened my mouth quickly.
“Wait, let’s talk for a moment.”
“story?”
“okay.”
The situation is different from when we met at the inn.
There is no colleague to help, and Bifron is a lawless zone where strength is the corporation.
Of course, it is better to resolve it through dialogue.
Because I haven’t figured out the settings to block the aurors yet.
If the body is weak, the head is bound to suffer.
“It’s amazing. I didn’t know you would say that in the first place. Are you trying to make a surprise attack?”
“surprise attack? I do not do such cowardice.”
He didn’t hide his feelings of being insulting, he showed them.
While talking only in the sewer, he threw a mace and ran, but there was no reason not to be proud.

My memory of that time was erased.
At least for him.
“… … It’s not even funny.”
Even if you want to ask something, you can’t.
However, Amelia moved on with a word without any sign of frustration.
His body was still preparing for a surprise attack.
Are you now accepting me as a real enemy?
“First, bite them.”
“good night.”
After a brief agreement, I glanced at Pak Pak Pak and went downstairs to the building with the youngsters.
Then it was Jinjing’s turn.
“I… … .”
“Don’t worry. I will never leave you.”
“Yes!”
He looked uneasy, but the whining believes in me and goes down.
Now it was just the two of us on the roof.
So, it’s time to talk openly.
“Amelia Rainwales. What are you doing here?”
“Why do I have to answer that?”
“Isn’t it funny to fight with adults in a fight between children?”
“… … You must have been twenty now?”
Well, with people you know, have little things.
There are a lot of people who are whining and tight-knit, but in this industry, the strong one is the older brother.
“Anyway, what’s the answer?”
Amelia pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“Tell me from you. Why the hell are you in Bifron?”
“I was caught using a superpower in the city. I thought I’d end up with a fine, but they told me to live here for 20 days. Today is the third day.”
“What do you mean by subordinate?”
“That guy was trying to rob me, so I beat him up and took it back.”
Amelia grinned.
“You really do what you want to do.”
It wasn’t a sarcastic nuance.
No, should I rather say that there is a bit of envy?
“It’s your turn. Why are you here?”
A question that has already been asked again and again.
Amelia also finally gave a brief explanation of the situation.
“I’m looking for an explorer who might be here. So in exchange for their help, I decided to help out with one thing.”
“Right.”
I quickly understood the situation.
At first, I wondered why I would make a ‘deal’ with weak people, but… … .
‘I guess he wanted to do things quietly. If you work like me, your words will have no choice but to leak.’
Looks like things will be easier than you think.
That was the car I was thinking of.
“As I said before, I didn’t mean to break my promise.”
huh?
As I tilted my head, Amelia continued speaking as if making an excuse.
“me too… … I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Oh, that.
It was a promise that he would never visit me again.
I never dreamed that I would be concerned about that first in this situation.
Is there any kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder in ‘promise’?
“Don’t worry. I don’t think you broke your promise.”
“is it… … .”
I guess I could understand the situation a little bit, so I went to the main point.
“Anyway, I’m happy. There is absolutely no reason for us to fight on this matter.”
“You mean you’re going to give him up?”
“No, there is no need for that. Don’t you need someone to steer you? I will lend you my men.”
“I heard that the Western Union is the least powerful here.”
“You’re quicker than I thought.”
“Because it’s been over ten days since I’ve been here.”
“Right.”
I nodded.
Certainly, as Amelia said, the Western Union is a small elite.
I was too weak to be called an elite, but I fell for it.
At least the Eastern guys will do a better job finding people.
However… … .
“Don’t worry about how few people there are.”
Still no problem.
Rather, I can’t understand why he couldn’t come up with something so simple.
Low number of subordinates?
Why are you worrying about useless things like that?
“From today, the east is also my territory.”
It’s enough to copy it.
***
I thought she was an inflexible woman because she values ‘promise’, but surprisingly, she was like me in this aspect.
Amelia was also a nation of efficiency.
“Not a bad way.”
“You mean you agree?”
“Before that. What do you gain by helping me?”
“… … Please grant me a favor later.”
“Then I will decline. For some reason, I think you’re going to make a request that you can’t handle.”
yep, this doesn’t work
well done The important thing wasn’t a request.
“Then just do it for service. It’s better than losing my strength by fighting you for nothing.”
Perhaps it was a convincing excuse, then Amelia nodded and agreed to the agreement.
therefore… … .
“Hey, what happened to him?”
“It’s half-assed.”
I went down to the first floor and kicked the stomach of Pak Pak, who was having an awkward confrontation with Whining.
As it turns out, for ’employment’, it is important to subdue the baseline.
“Gagging!”
Pak Pak-pak, who was hit with a spear, fell to the floor as it was.
“This child!!”
With this as a starting point, the eastern guys on the first floor rushed at me.
Sword, hammer, spear, skewer… … .
Guys who mercilessly stab them with weapons in their hands.
There was no need to stop it.
“No, why is this… … .”
Weapons that can’t even cut the skin and bounce off even if they aim at places where their skin is exposed.
It was predictable.
They’re the ones who came in groups of dozens to catch one whining.
What is my physical resistance?
“Is it all over?”
“… … no.”
“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!!”
No long time was needed.
The battle ended by instilling fear with [Feral Eruption] and crushing a few as a demonstration.
Dozens of men who do not even dare to run away from the overwhelming force of the vehicle.
I grabbed the tightrope by the collar and lifted it up.
“What is your name?”
“Blood, this is Philippe Lager!”
“From now on, I will call you Pak Pak.”
Okay, so now the common name is over.
As the car was about to take the next step, Pak Pak asked blankly.
“Da, who are you?”
Once the error has been corrected.
“Not you.”
“… … ?”
“It’s your boss.”
“boss… … ?”
Pak Pak, who had confused eyes, turned his gaze to Jin Jing, who was hiding in the corner.
It was then that the situation seemed to be understood.
Yes, he did this too.
“It’s just fine, just give me a bottle of potion.”
“… … portion?”
“My subordinate is injured, shouldn’t he treat me?”
Amelia glanced at me as if looking at a strange creature, then pulled out a bottle of potion and handed it to me.
Chei Yi Profit-
As soon as I gave him the potion, Pak Pak screamed and squirmed, and after waiting for a while, he woke up in a cold sweat.
He still looked like he was dreaming.
The whip seems to be enough, so it’s time to give me carrots.
“I am the one who will leave in 17 days.”
“Yes?”
“Just like that.”
Simply put, it means that you think you stepped on the poop and hold on to it for a while. Afterwards, I gave the instructions to Pak Pak and Jing Jing to go back and gather all the people.
“Since there are so many people, it could be a dimensional square. Maybe five hours?”
“Hey, that absurd—”
“Yes! Enough!”
The whining chirps exhilaratingly while interrupting Pak Pak Pak.
Do I have to say that I am a senior?
Answering ‘yes’ to any word is the greatest virtue as a subordinate.
Especially if your boss is a barbarian.
“Okay then, come on out.”
As time was running out, the subordinates who received the order ran out to carry out their mission quickly.
It was quite satisfying.
‘Is this why everyone is so hung up on power?’
I smiled and shifted my gaze to Amelia. And he asked as if he wasn’t interested.
“Now then, tell me. Who can I find?”
I’ve been curious ever since.
First of all, he’s from Noark.
There must be a possibility that he was looking for someone not of his own will, but under the orders of Noark.
‘In this state of affairs, people are looking for people in the underground city… … .’

Maybe it’s an important clue.
It’s information that others don’t know, because the more you know, the more helpful it is. If the information is irrelevant to me, I can use it to pretend to be present at the round table later.
The judgment is that neither side will lose.
However, contrary to my expectations, Amelia answered only the characteristics of the character.
“It looks like an old man, but it could be in disguise.”
“I mean, you can’t tell by looks. Then how do you find it?”
“A tattoo on his back. I was told that it was impossible to hide it with any magic.”
Hmm, then, should I check the visible back of the foot?
“What other features might be helpful?”
“none.”
“You don’t know your name?”
“… … It doesn’t make any sense because I would have used a pseudonym anyway.”
“Still, you don’t know. Say it once.”
When asked a little, Amelia hesitated for a moment, as if she was worried.
But would you have decided that if I told you, you wouldn’t know?
Immediately, he said the name of a person.
“Auril Gavis.”
what?
“Auril Gabis?!”
“… … Do you know him?”
“No, I just pretended to know.”
I frowned and went into facial expression management.
thump thump!

My heart was beating like crazy.
That was natural.
Are you Auril Gabis?
Isn’t that the name of the author of the ‘Chonghaerok’ series and the creator of [Dungeon and Stone]!
Oooh, interesting.
