Survival TS [Complete] 16

Chapter 16 – Chapter 16

Episode 16

Life with Carl was comfortable and nice. But the headaches that kept coming back started to bother me. It seems that I have found complete stability, and memories that I have not recalled in the meantime come to mind more and more every time I get a headache.

“Ah~!! Ugh…”

“Kkiing~ Knock~”

Carl worries about me. Again, the memory came back with a headache. I used to get sick like this about seven times already in a month. The memories that came up like that made me know who I was and what situation I was in.

“Ugh.. That… Don’t worry. Because it’s just the process of bringing back memories… Black~”

Of course, it was a process of memory coming back… But that pain… It really gave me the pain of someone digging my head with an awl.

“Ugh… Elemia von Galea.. Black.. Yes my name… Ah.. That’s why I was lost…”

It was. The status of a duchess of the Principality of Galea. That was the true identity of this body. And I could remember why I wanted to be abandoned here. If I recall a rough memory… Maybe there was a rebellion in the principality. So he seemed to have come to find the ruins in the dark forest with a few knights and a few mercenaries he saved while running away. However… It was a problem because they overlooked the beasts and monsters living in the forest and the pursuers too much.

“Yeah… It was. Still, a few survived… I was so relieved at the end.”

It was. The time when the tension was released was the problem. Just then, monsters I hadn’t even heard of around me invaded. The knights who protected me as I was dragged away… Eventually, I ran away alone and gathered at a dead end and prayed toward the sky. As a result… It was the sky that responded with lightning.

“Kuh~ Is that so… The gods took pity on the soul and ascended to heaven with lightning… And after that, I came in… That means I can’t go back after all… Ah~!! Aaaaah!!!”

The last hope he was holding on to was extinguished. It was that I could no longer get out of this body… Go back. Eventually, I had to adapt to this body and survive here. I was able to calm down to some extent after shouting for a long time in despair and despair.

“Haa~ Yes… I can’t help it. Shouldn’t you be thankful for a body like this? You don’t even know what happened to my real body… What if I died…?”

It was thought that the real body would also be in a state where the soul had escaped. If so, it was almost certain that someone else’s soul would settle down… Or they would be in a vegetative state. If I had been in that condition in a bad place, I would have surely starved to death. If I died like that anyway… I thought it would be nice to just live like this. Isn’t this another chance?

“Still, the woman was too much. Ugh~ Every time you pee… You have to wipe it, don’t you?… It’s really embarrassing…”

Although she had adjusted to some extent now, it was a little annoying and disliked it. But there’s no way I can’t help but wipe it off… Otherwise, the rabbit-skin bottoms, which are a single suit, will vibrate with a disgusting smell.

“Kreung!”

“Yes. It’s okay now. Are you worried?”

It was really commendable that Carl cared about me even when I told him not to worry. Now I have some memories and I know what I have to do. But… There was no way such a fragile girl could explore the ruins with her body. She seemed to be able to get to her remains if she trained a little more and at least managed to avoid the gorillas.

“At least, but… Haa~ I think we should win at least one gorilla 1:1…”

Although his strength was increasing somehow… Perhaps it was because he ate weak animals and fish, the mana in his lower abdomen was not being activated easily. I remembered that it was said that if this mana hole was at least the size of a fist, it would be possible to deal with medium-sized monsters alone. But now, the size of my mana hole is… Barely a thumb. I don’t know about small beasts, but it was absolutely impossible to deal with a gorilla.

“Of course, with the knife, there’s little danger… But really, how long can you really not rely on the knife?”

I used to promise not to depend on him every time… But at some point I found myself relying on Carl. It really didn’t go this way. However, it was clear that if he moved away from the knife, he would become a target for gorillas and other animals.

“Really… What do you mean when you see me… Yes, I live alone in the hideout that Carl prepared for me the other day. There aren’t many other animals there, so it’ll be fine.”

“Kreung!!”

“Dangerous? Still can’t do it Because I can’t live relying on you every time.”

“Kreureung!!”

“Can I rely on you? No! I can’t!! In order to explore the ruins, you must be able to protect yourself at least. I can’t stay in this forest forever.”

“Keeing…”

It was a dead knife. However, he could not be weakened by the appearance of such a knife. In the end, despite Carl’s refusal, he went back to his hideout. Seeing my determination, I just wandered around as if I had given up my sword.

“Eh~ I neglected it too much…”

The hiding place was a mess. I’ll have to fix it one by one in my life to keep it in shape… I didn’t touch it at all because I lived in Carl’s hideout, so the dry grass was already rotting and the reeds blocking the entrance were all scattered. It was to the point where I couldn’t go into hiding and live at this rate. In the end, I had to work hard…

“Eutcha~ If it’s this much… It’s good. Now I’m going to train again and catch fish… I can do that even without a knife…”

Of course, I felt a little bit afraid… But when I thought of the knife wandering around, I felt like that was going into my mind. Really… I shouldn’t have done that, but it seemed that it was also the fault of such a knife that I depended on the knife every time.

“Ugh… Did the knights ah… Do this? No, I didn’t think so…”

I remember occasionally peeping at the knights training. Now, even that was detectable. Since the mana hole was open, it was possible to generate powerful power even with some mimicry. It would be easier if there was a blade like a knife… But even a wooden stick was a good idea.

“It’s a pity though… I should have looked at it a little harder… After all, because of my status as a public woman, I couldn’t learn anything other than how to train mana to keep my body in shape… Ugh~ If this was really the case, the knights would follow me without any hesitation…”

It was a bit of a fuss. Did the owner of this body, who was a princess, know that it would turn out like this? In the end, she had no choice but to shovel hard and recall the knight’s movements one by one. But it couldn’t have been that easy. Difficult movements, as if I knew it or not… My limbs became dizzy and my body started to stumble.

“Ugh~ Why can’t it?!

I was really out of breath. How do the knights endure such training? Is the lower body still lacking? Or is it just imitation? You have to know the way mana flows and do it, but it seemed like it would be difficult to imitate. That’s how hard I finished the day’s training.

“Starting tomorrow, I’ll work harder… Yes, if I work hard, I’ll be fine.”

Of course, that couldn’t be good. So I went back into the house. There was still no one in the house. That would be natural Carl will be out there wandering around, and this is in the woods. To have to live alone in a forest like this… I felt very lonely. Enduring such loneliness, I lay down and lost myself in my thoughts. About the anxious situation in the future and the training to be done tomorrow.

“Ugh… It’s cold. Is it because it’s the bottom of a cave?”

Even if I tried to continue my thoughts, the cold cave floor made me even more lonely. If I had been by my side… I would have been able to fall asleep in that cozy embrace… But now I had to stand alone. I had to rely on the knife no longer. It wasn’t a good thing to have a heart that depended on Carl every time like this.

“Still alone, I’m lonely…”

Being alone was always like that. Loneliness… Yes, there was only loneliness. That’s why you want someone to be by your side. So did I. I couldn’t help but cry even if I didn’t want to cry. It was almost an act of instinct.
