I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Q & A [Thank you for answering my question . ] The woman expressed her gratitude . [I also apologize for asking that question repeatedly . I mean, I have also sensed that you’re not lying when you told me about how you defeated those four people . I also understand that you’ve honestly answered my previous questions . ] Did she have a lie detector? It’s as if she’s confident that she’s able to tell if someone tells the truth or not . [That’s why—] The woman looked at me with a sincere expression on her face . She bowed down her head, and put her hand on her chest with difficulty . It’s as if she’s making a pledge . [I will answer you question as honestly as I could in return . You’re the one who fended off those four people— Towards someone who could be called my benefactor, I don’t intend to do any harm to you at all . ] Her benefactor . I think that’s too much of an exaggeration . No– If she’s really that indebted to me, I guess I’ll use that to my advantage . [What do you specifically want to ask? You had mentioned earlier that you’re not someone who lives around here . ] She said imposingly even though she can’t even move her body . This may prove that she had lessened her vigilance towards me . [I’ve just been following where my feet takes me . I must have walked quite a distance already . Before I knew it, I’m already in this forest . ] [How did you even arrive in this forest?] [It’s like I was suddenly thrown away into this place . ] [—Is that so? I’m sorry that I have asked that . ] Something like me being thrown away . Those words would provoke some dark imaginations to surface in your mind after you hear that . For example, I may have been abandoned by my travelling companions . I may also have been driven out from the place where I used to live . Or I may even have been an abandoned slave (supposing that there are slaves in this world) . Etcetera, etcetera . The story of me being thrown away is not a lie in the first place . I was abandoned by my parents and I was disposed of by that f*cking goddess . If she could sniff out that I have some dark past that I probably don’t want to talk about, she might become lax on her questions . It would be enough to just let her sniff out some truth covering the smoke of things that I want to hide . This also have another advantage . If I could do this well enough, I could also estimate the personality of the other party based on their reaction . I looked at the woman’s eyes . The expression of the woman? It’s as if a question mark is floating above her head . [What is it?] [You don’t seem that bad of a person— well, for now that is . ] [...Did I perhaps gain some of your trust?] [Yeah, Just a bit . It’s just that, I feel that my circumstances are a bit similar to yours . The both of us think that we should avoid intruding too deeply in the others lives—] It seems that this woman also have her own circumstances that she wanted to hide . However, that doesn’t matter . All I wanted now is information . After I get the information I want, it would be good enough to go on our own ways . [Yeah, I agree . ] Shadows cast over the woman’s expression . [I’m also thankful if that we’re the case . ] There is still the problem with the remaining gauge . We have already wasted a lot of time with these idle-chatter . [Okay . Well then, I’ll move on towards the questions I wanted to ask . Is there any village or town nearby?] [There’s one, there’s a small city called Mills nearby . I was also–] The woman suddenly paused . “I was also–“ There seems to be a reason why she doesn’t want others to know her destination . Is she afraid of the budding chance that I might give out the information of her destination towards her pursuers? Though I said that, those words she said just now have already given out where she’s going . Well, if I just know the location of the city then that would have been enough . I won’t dig into her circumstances . The woman has taught me the direction and distance towards that city . It seems that it really isn’t that far from here . The time where I could finally sleep on a decent bed is finally near . [Where is this place located?] I move on towards the next question . [Do you not even know where you are right now?] [My situation’s a bit complicated . I was living in a place that’s disconnected from civilization . I’ve never received any information from the outside . You should be able to guess my circumstances now . ] I’m trying to imply that I was escaping from the eyes of investigators . [...I understand . This is a forest located to the south of Urza Kingdom, “Forest of Darkness” . ] I’m surprised . Isn’t this place located in Allion Kingdom? I completely thought that the disposal ruins were located in Allion . I’ve gained quite a valuable information . [Where is Allion?] [Allion, is it? I think it’s northeast of Urza Kingdom? And also, to the southeast of Urza Kingdom is—] The woman hesitated a bit . [...where the Bachoss Empire is located . ] (T/N: I suck at naming . This info may change depending on when I could sync it to the manga . ) There must be something there in the Bachoss Empire that made her think twice just to mention its name . However, I’ve said this before but I won’t dig to deeply in her circumstances . Nevertheless... It seems that this place isn’t located in Allion . That means that there is no way that f*cking goddess is nearby . Is it okay to consider this as a good news for now? The thing for me to consider first is the direction where I should go so that I could stay away from Allion for the meantime . First of all, the matter that I’ve talked about before regarding the Forbidden Curses should be prioritized on where I would go . Fumu... I’m in another country, so there is no need to be in a hurry to leave... [Okay . The next questions might be a little strange . ] The woman suddenly have a face full of worry after hearing my words . [—ah, y-yes . P-please do . ] [For example... If I want to buy a bread that was usually eaten by commoners, how much would it usually cost?] [ . . So you want to know the market price, huh?] [I have lived in a place where I wouldn’t need to know the price of things...] [I understand . If you’re talking about a bread that you could usually buy in any city, then you can buy them with one piece of copper . ] So, bread exists huh . [How many copper coins are equivalent to a silver coin?] [It’s about 30 copper coins for one silver coin . ] Let’s say that a bread could be about ¥100 each . (T/N: ¥ = jap yen . ) If it’s according to the standards of my previous world, a silver coin should be equivalent to about ¥3000 . It may just be an approximate guess from me, but I guess I roughly grasped it . It’s obvious, but prices in here should be different from Japan . I must not think of the value of everything depending on their equivalent in Japanese Yen . However, it’s a step forward now that I have understood the “standard” price of bread . I should fairly understand the price relationship when I have finally reached the city of Mills . I quickly speak out the information I wanted to know . The yellow gauge is about to be depleted . There’s one last thing left that I need to really need to know from her . I took out the “The Forbidden Archives of Spells and Curses” from my leather bag . I spread open the archive in front of the woman’s face . [Do you know anything regarding the letters used to write in this book?] The woman’s eyes run through the letters in the book . Her eyes seems to shine as she hurriedly looked over the book . Did she find out something because of how her mouth moves like that? I don’t even know if she’s even conscious at all . Hmm? I noticed one thing from her . There’s a faint wrinkles that I could see beneath her eyes . Although, it’s actually so faint that I would have never seen it if I weren’t looking closely . Is it that she lacks some sleep because she’s been escaping for days? [This is—] The few wrinkles engraved on her eyebrows caved in a bit as she replied . [It seems to be written with ancient characters . This is quite a special book . ] [Can you read it?] [No, I’m sorry about that . ] [I see . I understand . ] I rolled up the Forbidden Archive so that I could put it back to my back . It seems that this part is not going quite well, huh? Although I’ve only just a single clue, I have some expectation regarding this . Well, I’ll be able to know its contents in the future . [However—] [Hmm?] [I think I might know someone who is quite familiar with these characters . ]
