The inn was noisy, but even so his speech clearly resonated with people commenting a short time ago if the boy would make a statement to Stoneheart. Everyone present knows who she is and the reasons for not approaching her but the boy. Even though he was accompanying her, who would get up to warn her that she is not a flower to smell?
All they could do was whisper to him to run away, but it had no effect.
♦
Now that I've said, there's no way I can go back.
Amara has an uncomfortable expression on her face, at least I didn't lie and she must keep her promise.
(Amara) What did you say?
(Clerk) Hello here is your food.
The clerk comes in and has been bringing the food we ordered, she must surely have seen Amara's reaction. Thank you aunt I owe you one.
(Clerk) It's not polite to keep raising your voice while eating.
(Yuri) O-Thank you, so Amara let's eat?
The clerk smiles and returns to the kitchen while Amara and I stare at each other.
My order came two buns along with a metal cup in which there is something like beer and a bowl of soup, Amara's order comes a glass of it with cider and a whole pig, I barely touch the food while I wait for Amara To say anything, this is stressful, I have to take the initiative at least for that, if I leave it that way I won't be able to have any relationship with her in the future.
(Yuri) Itadakimasu¹, if you don't eat soon the food will get cold.
(Amara) Yes the food tastes better without that mood.
(Yuri) Now that we have calmed the mood let's eat a little.
(Amara) Yes.
Even if my father's cooking or mine doesn't compare, the soup is well made and lovingly cooked, it's easy to tell the difference just by the smell, the ingredients were mixed over low heat and very slowly to thicken the broth, In addition the rye bread is cuddly and perfect for dipping in the soup.
Will she be able to eat the piglet?
(Amara) Hey tell me, how did you come here, if you were summoned or died.
(Yuri) Yeah, I didn't tell you my side of the story ...
... I told her how I was walking and then when I opened the door and came here without warning, how I met Wieland until the part where [Wither ] appeared.
What will be the reaction, she believing that I came from another world is already a start but only that the only ones I've had a conversation here are her and the blacksmith, although the latter is just selfish, she was just doing the work I can't judge her because I would make the same kind of threat, no I would do something worse.
(Amara) Although your story is hard to believe, it is plausible, but the part that doesn't fit is that people from the other world usually have more mana than this one.
(Yuri) So there is someone else who came here, through an invocation for example.
(Amara) Yes the last invocation was made a month ago and I received a report that they will make another today.
An invocation today, I would like to meet this person, although it is an unfortunate coincidence it would be nice to have someone in the same situation as me, in a good way of course.
(Yuri) But is it okay to say that to me?
(Amara) Yes these things are public and at one time or another you would find a poster about it, but it is restricted to invocations only.
(Yuri) How about the skeletons that appeared after [Wither] was a kind of side effect that he died?
(Amara) Yes, when he died his energy dispersed so naturally summoning more low level [Skeletons] would be possible, I suspect how you attract mana she must have condensed, so that caught his eye and he evaporated to the surface.
(Yuri) Ha ha ha, so it was my fault.
(Amara) Not so much, come close.
I approach Amara.
(Amara) Formerly here, in this region, it was a field where the bodies of the soldiers who died in the wars were thrown. I suspect that because of this a dungeon was born under the city.
(Yuri) So could there be a catacomb with a network of underground tunnels?
(Amara) Yeah something out there, but enough talk and let's finish the food.
Quickly she takes the knife she was using earlier to threaten me and breaks the pig.
With straight movements she slices him into slices, did she even move her hand? If that's her danger level then with [Wither] I should be safer.
But now that I think about it, can I use magic? It would be a fulfilled fantasy, but I differentiate dreams from fantasies, because dreams I can realize fantasies no longer. On second thought she didn't tell me much about what she sees in me.
(Yuri) Amara as you see me, being a foreigner from another world I think I may be bothering you, I was wondering if I didn't make a bad impression.
(Amara) In general, I do not like the people of another world they are arrogant, ignorant if they own everything just because they have gifts received from a kissed hand that is what I most hate them, but I do not dislike you, I would say more than left a good impression even when you used that frying pan to beat your relatives.
(Yuri) Hey this is already bullying, it will still imply because of the frying pan.
(Amara) Just kidding. What I find most interesting about you is the fact that eating naturally even after seeing that thing killing those people, don't you feel a little discomfort?
(Yuri) No, I'm insensitive to these things.
(Amara) Why?
(Yuri) In my world at least 40 million people die every year, and 100 million are born, so it would be no use for me to mourn every death, I should take care of my life and the people around me, that's how I think.
(Amara) So you're just ignorant of other people's pain?
(Yuri) Exactly.
Even if they approached me about how I plan to relate to society I would say it would be extremely professional, would work just to keep me comfortable without accumulating goods like people do, in fact I am a guy who doesn't need much because I boil down to four rooms, bathroom, bedroom, garden, kitchen at least I would say that I live well with about 80 m² much less than a residential apartment that is 110 m².
As I was raised as a handyman I have no problem doing household chores, although I find the old-fashioned and outdated concept that man cannot wash dishes and the like.
(Amara) I think I'm the opposite of that, in fact I care about the well being of people in general, and I value those who work hard more than just those who have talent, because it is with stoning that make the best jewelry.
(Yuri) I see, but I think you would be pretty disappointed with me.
(Amara) Why?
(Yuri) I usually give up things easily when I encounter some difficulty, because in fact I am very lazy, I would work half my life to live the rest without doing anything, that's my idea.
(Amara) I don't think this is lazy, I would say it is focus.
A very different answer, I thought she would call me incompetent and stuff, but she's pretty understanding, I think I'll end up here, have to take a shower. Let me just check, so I smell my armpit, it's already stinking.
(Yuri) It's late, so I'll get ready for bed.
(Amara) I wanted to con ... it's nothing, have a good night.
I get up and walk to the inn door with her. At least the conversation ended well.
(Yuri) Well, bye Amara I'll see you any day.
(Amara) Yes, next time we talk more, there are some things that I still want to ask.
She nods at me with a smile as I head back into the inn.
◇
Amara leaves the inn still in doubt as to what he has said.
(Amara) Well, I wanted to talk to him a little more but it seems that it won't be possible.
"But just in case," she lightly whispers that.
(Amara) { Greater Barrier: Anti-Negative Energy, Greater Barrier: Zero Sign, Greater Barrier: Mana Diluted. }
(Amara) That should be enough, I can't let a guest die that way.
Walking toward the central square where they were taking care of people she goes alone.
◇
She's gone, now I walk toward the counter where Auntie from before helped me with Amara, the people who had been whispering get up from their chairs and approach me.
(Man A) Boy do you have good fiber survived I bet you a lot, and to think that this one wanted to see you losing your dignity to that woman.
(Man B) Hey, it's not like that, you heard it before, haven't you? What she did to the blacksmith's assistant.
(Yuri) Blacksmith's assistant, ... do you mean Wieland?
Now I understand why he's carrying the boxes on his own, and also for using me to test that gun, but now that I think about it, what happened to his assistant?
(Man A) Yes, that's right, she did something I wouldn't want for my worst rival.
(Yuri) What did she do?
(Man B) I was there the moment a man died.
Wait, did you die?
(Man B) They were alone by the time it happened, I watched from afar but I already had a sense of what he was going to say ...
◇
Being Amara and Elias away from unwanted looks, he prepared with all the courage he had to reveal his feelings to the woman, broad - shouldered, slightly muscled arms in his 22 years, if I have a strong physique was a nice guy and devoted to his work, but here far from the yoke of others he could show how he really felt, he could show his feelings for the woman he loved so much.
(Amara) So why did you call me here? if it is to ask about my satisfaction with your work I have told you before that I have nothing to complain about.
(Elias) Not the reason is actually another Stoneheart, I came here to tell you how I feel about you.
(Amara) If it is about the price of equipment talk to your boss I will only pay the price set for him, no more.
"So she thinks it's about the equipment?" That's what went through his mind but the next moment he took a stance, straightened his posture and filled his chest.
(Elias) What I mean is that I admire you so much! Always striving for others, putting them first, you do everything to help those in need, treat everyone equally without restriction, face danger for your people, that's why I like you.
(Amara) What you said is beautiful but you are not just considering one side of the mill.
(Elias) That's why I'm here to tell you that I want you to come to my house.
Is this serious? It must be what goes through people's minds when someone says that, but what he means is for her to go and meet his family.
(Elias) Give up on this war-going thing, I love you, I don't want you to be around, I'd better stay home taking care of things while I work, so I wouldn't have to risk your life to make money anymore.
(Amara) Is that the reason you think I fight?
(Elias) Yes, with me working you no longer need to do those unnecessary things, instead I'd better let me take care of everything!
At that moment Amara's face crumbled for a second to one she showed only to her subordinates, until half the conversation she intended to gently refuse him but after hearing the rest it shook her, not in a good way because the last words they were meeting her PRIDE.
(Amara) Do you think you can take care of everything?
(Elias) Yes I can do that.
Shortly after hearing this she bowed her head, Elias seeing that approached Amara who was with the face in a dark tone and put his hand on her cheek to deliver him the kiss, all right you do not need to continue with this.
But before touching her face he slaps his hand and Amara directs a cold look at him that makes him fall to the ground soon had chills all over his body.
(Amara) I'll ask you one more time. Do you think you can do that?
For that which was her last and only warning, Elias simply waited a moment while Amara's cold eyes and expressionless face threatened him not to say another word, however.
(Elias) There is no way you can do that ...
(Amara)
Amara laughs as she lowers her head, then she prepares to draw her sword, but just before she can get Elias to hold the gun's grip, at that point she lost all hope of simply threatening him and then letting him go but preventing her from imposing his authority as a person or officer is a crime that can lead from imprisonment to the death penalty, but in Amara's case she would not be kind to let him die by decapitation instead she will mark his soul so that he will never forget that moment .
(Amara) Hey get up ...
Elias soon gets up, but ...
Amara kicks him in the stomach that makes him spin in the alley and hit the boxes behind him leaving them shattered. Although the kick is strong, Amara struggled to hit just where it hurt, so in the case now comes the effect, Elias vomits all the air from his lungs to the point of expelling blood from his mouth.
(Amara) I'll ask you again, can you handle it?
(Elias) ...
(Amara) If you can not stand it then no use or effort.
He did not speak before because he was still panting from shortness of breath, but in view of these words he could not keep silent.
(Elias) Posu.
Even with the scare she made, doesn't he still give up? Now Amara has lost all her patience, today another creature will be born. In a singing tone she begins to sing fear sweetly to Elijah.
(Amara) Kukuku, ah, I realized, now I realize, I was being too soft, there is no way it looks like I'll have to make a good mark on you, maaasss instead of giving you something, I think I'll rip it off.
Amara slowly walks over to where Elias is sitting, approaching with a smile, probably nothing good comes of it, soon he realizes the despair that erodes his soul, looking up and down she focuses directly on his groin.
(Amara) Congratulations on being born, Elisa.
Then she spikes the sole of the boot that has thorns on Elijah's balls.
(Elias) Wow.
Even shouting and trying to remove Amara's leg from above the difference in strength is noticeable, her children have no salvation.
(Amara) After knocking, now rub.
Lightly she removes her foot from his groin that is already wet with urine, he just lets tears run down his eyes but the rub is missing.
Plack !!! It was the noise that made when she stepped again and then he starts to thrash and shed tears, she then grinds her eggs by rubbing them on the floor, at that point there is no salvation, Elias's mouth begins to foam and his eyes turn to back revealing the whites of the eyes.
That day Elias died, and it was confirmed the birth of a new person Elisa, this episode was known throughout the city, but also not only brought fear, husbands began to come home early and pamper their wives more because they discovered the how dangerous a woman can be.

(Man B) Just seeing that I almost wet my pants, I still have nightmares when I think of my partner's pain.
(Man A) Yeah, but instead of remembering it would be better to leave it in the past.
(Man B) I agree.
(Man A) And pay my money.
As I keep my head down my chest closes like a heart attack. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if I had missed a sentence.
(Man A) What was expensive was the story bad?
(Yuri) Horrible, what if it had happened to me? I'm lucky.
(Men A and B) It's true.
