Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

There’s no guarantee that it’ll work out.

Amelia did too.

“…There was an organization that I usually kept an eye on. They were people who disguised themselves as relief centers to get opium and then sold it in the shadows at a high price… Originally, I planned to rob them to make up for the cash.”

“however?”

“…While tracking down their base, the National Security Agency came in.”

I had nothing to say.

I guess I should say this is really childish…….

but I’m glad it’s much healthier than robbing a bank.

As I smiled, Amelia sneakily apologized.

“…This is my mistake, so I’ll come up with a solution somehow.”

what is he

I said stubbornly.

“Okay. Why are you solving that yourself?”

If he hadn’t extended the safe period in the first place, it would have been disintegrating in the air, and Amelia’s share in this item is about half.

That’s because I was hunting for a party when it dropped.

More than anything else, it’s a little funny to hold the guy responsible for getting the money to buy the Essence of Vol-Herchan.

“Money problems are to be solved together, okay?”

“…a colleague?”

Oh he knows how to say that.

“Yes, because they are colleagues. If there is a problem, it is not about who to blame, but together we find a way to solve it.”

“…i get it.”

In that sense, countermeasures were discussed afterwards.

It was a difficult amount to raise in two months by normal means, but there was no answer at all.

It is thanks to the stocks I bought two years and six months ago.

“I’m borrowing money from that fairy…… I’m sure it’s possible if you have enough money to buy a mansion like this. But is it okay?”

“Huh? Are you okay?”

“That fairy must be one of your companions.”

“Keuheum…….”

He stabbed a very painful place.

“Amelia, you don’t know anything because you’ve been alone for a long time, but your colleagues help each other when they’re having a hard time. Do you understand?”

“I see… that’s how you treat your comrades.”

No, who says they only receive it?

Shouldn’t it be paid back with interest?

“Anyway, since this is enough, let’s talk about something else.”

“I thought it was a disadvantageous situation.”

“…huh?”

“Isn’t it? I usually remember that when I change the topic.”

Uh…

it was so justified that I didn’t have anything to refute.

“…….”

But was his personality originally like this?

Why do you keep making fun of me?

“It’s okay, say what you were going to say, Yandel.”

Seeing that he didn’t give me a chance to argue, it seems clear that he

was intentionally teasing me…….

Because there were more important issues.

“Oh, it’s nothing special. I was trying to talk about how I should introduce you to Erwen.”

Intuitive team kill is a specification.

Clap Clap.

Amelia clicked her tongue as she pounded on the table in a steady rhythm.

“You’re crazy, so stop calming down.”

“…….”

“Is that fairy so scary?”

“Who’s scared? How well Erwen listens to me.”

It’s just a little tense.

I told Erwen that I would take Amelia as a teammate, but where is human impulse always under control?

I don’t want to see Amelia explode again.

Even more so if it’s not an alter ego, but the main body.

Tick tock.

As time went by, it was time to start feeling hungry.

Chunk.

I heard the door in the yard closing.

It means that Erwen has returned home.

Probably both hands are full of dinner to feed me tonight.

trudge trudge.

The light footsteps characteristic of fairies passing through the yard quickly drew closer.

And…….

Took.

I stopped in front of the front door.

It was a bit odd.

There was a rattling sound and the doorknob turned, but why didn’t you open the door? Why did the nasal sound, which seemed to be humming excitedly somewhere, stop?

The moment I felt that question.

“An open door.”

Erwen murmured softly.

“…smells like a woman.”

At that word, I jumped up and stood up.

It was because I had a premonition that if I just opened the surprise event I had prepared, it would be like four months.

“…Erwen! You’re here!”

As soon as I went out to meet him at the front door, Erwen took a quick look around the house, ignoring my greetings.

He then fixed his eyes on Amelia, who was inside.

“Amelia Lane Wales.”

“It’s been a while, blood spirit. Is this the first time I’ve seen you in the city?”

“…How are you here?”

“I followed you when I stopped by the bank. You’ve improved your secret technique, but it seems you don’t use it much in real life. You’d better be more alert from now on. You’re not the only one living in this house.”

At Amelia’s answer, Erwen muttered briefly.

“…do you want to kill me?”

“Hey Erwen…?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m only thinking inside.”

“Uh… is that so? Yes, it could be. First of all, let’s sit down. We’ll be together from now on, but we can’t be so awkward, can we?”

“all right.”

Unexpectedly, Erwen quickly calmed down and sat down at the table as I requested. And he spoke first in a nonchalant voice.

“Is it okay if I get along well with this woman from now on?”

“Call me by name, not this woman.”

“Then I’ll take my last name. Rain Wales, right?”

“That’s right. I call her Tersia.”

“yes.”

When Erwen replied with a short answer, the conversation was cut off there.

It was my turn.

“As Erwen said last time, Amelia will move with us now.”

“What about status issues?”

“There’s nothing to worry about that part. I’ve got something suitable while waiting for Yandel to return.”

“…why didn’t you tell me you were alive before?”

“You ask a pitiful question. How can I trust you to say that?”

“What? The subject that we’ve been together for about half a year at most.”

“Hmm, did you know that the period you entered the labyrinth with Yandel was shorter than half a year?”

No, why are you talking to me without me?

“Come on, everyone, calm down.”

I hurriedly intervened in the conversation again.

“I don’t know exactly what happened between you guys, but it all happened because of a misunderstanding, so how about clearing things up right here?”

Saying that, I gave Amelia a signal with a wink. It meant not to be harsh, but to lose a little bit.

But…

“Well, I don’t have any grudges. Thanks to that, I couldn’t swim on the 6th floor because my legs were blown off and I had to hold on to a plank for three days, but in the end I survived.”

Yeah, you had a reason to be picky.

“…At that time, I was wondering how he escaped on the boat with his body.”

“Erwen.”

“…don’t worry.

“But I didn’t kill him.”

“You speak as if you could. As soon as our reinforcements arrived, we ran.”

“Well… I accomplished my goal. My pocketbook was tight, but thanks to selling that guy’s equipment, I was able to get this dagger here as well.”

Okay let’s give up being friendly.

There’s no reason to be at peace with colleagues, right?

I ended the conversation with a smile.

“Haha, they really fight over trivial matters! Come on, shake hands and make peace.”

The one who laughs at any time is first class.

***

After Erwen and Amelia shook hands with a rotten look, I moved on to the next item.

Straight forward like a barbarian warrior.

“Erwen, could you lend me some money?”

“Why money…?”

I openly told the story about the Demon Grinder, and Erwen’s expression hardened.

“So you mean you want this woman to pay for the essence with her own money?”

“Can you see it that way…?”

“…I’m sorry, but I think that would be a little difficult.”

“…huh?”

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not because I hate it.”

if not what?

Looking at it with those eyes, Erwen murmured softly like a guilty person.

“Now… I don’t have much money… Really.”

Oh well…

Come to think of it, he said he bought this house with the money he extorted from the tribal chief.

However, I did ask just in case.

“Then what about borrowing money against this house?”

I myself was trash, but what can I do?

Worst case scenario, you have to be prepared.

“…this house? It’s a place full of ugly memories…

”

“Yandel, you really—”

“Don’t say anything to the old man. It’s because of you that I have no shame.”

“what……?”

“So you understand? Don’t be sorry, Mister. It’s a house… You can get a new one later……”

That’s why my hands are shaking…

“…I’m sorry. done.”

“Don’t say that. It’s for you.”

Anyway, it was decided that the demon crusher would be retrieved using the collateral turning technique.

So, it’s time to plan the next one.

“No matter what we do next, we need to secure funding first.”

“Yes. If you want to enter the labyrinth again, you will have to adjust your equipment. If you have money… you can protect this house…

” It must be an urgent priority to take it off.”

Oh that……

“I’m going to put it off for a while because there’s something suspicious.”

When I told her my questions and concerns while I was away, Amelia nodded as if she agreed.

It seemed that he himself felt suspicious.

“Anyway, that’s why Amelia wants you to find a suitable identity.”

“It’s not difficult to find your status, but in the end it will be about covering the sky with both hands. No matter how many years have passed since you died, there are quite a few people who remember you.”

Interpreted, it means that there is a high possibility that your identity will be exposed with something like an iron helmet.

This is not the era 20 years ago when there was no ointment.

Even if you just use the word [gigantic], people will think of Bjorn Yandel first.

“Hmm, but if you’re careful in the labyrinth, I think it’ll work out somehow…”

“I don’t know once or twice, but if the period increases, there will definitely be someone who recognizes—”

“Why don’t you eat some essence for a while?”

Erwen interrupted and interrupted.

“essence?”

“Like Einar-san ate. There are also essences that decrease your height. If you shorten your height a bit and introduce yourself as a human being, I don’t think anyone will notice…” Even as he said that, Erwen noticed Amelia

. He seemed to be wary of not knowing what kind of fault he might catch in his words.

But…

“I’m sure you’ll know in a month or two. If you’re planning to hide your identity for a long time, it’s much safer that way.”

Contrary to expectations, Amelia showed a distribution that acknowledged Erwen’s idea and even praised it.

But would that be a little strange?

“You’ve come up with a pretty good way.”

“…That’s because it’s about you.”

Erwen answered coldly and shook his head.

It was a sight that warmed the viewer somewhere, but I had no choice but to intervene.

“Hey…”

I’m really sorry for saying this all of a sudden.

“I have no place to eat the essence.”

It’s still a long way to level 7.

There is no integer to erase.

Scared to explain this situation, Amelia chuckled.

“Manticore.”

“……?”

“I remember that you said it was an essence that must be erased someday.”

…You’re going to pull out my jump key?
