Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 111
111Angry baby barbarian (4)
Barbarians teaming up with humans is more common than you might think.
No matter how high their physical stats and fighting sense are, they need allies from the second floor onwards..
In fact, even in the second or third month, the standard route was to form a team and head to the second floor..
‘The problem is that you rarely meet the right guy..’
Fairies, dwarves, beastmen, etc..
Things are better for other races..
They are not only less naive than the barbarians who only honed their ‘battle skills’ in the Holy Land.…….
Because hearts don't sell for a lot of money as magic ingredients..
[What are the other guys doing? most are dead.]
There are less than a third of the barbarians left who have already gone through the coming-of-age ceremony with me..
Was it really because of ‘Monster’??
‘No way.’
Because of that reasonable suspicion, I listened even more intently to their conversation..
but…….
“Well, I'll take a break now, so please take care of me..”
“Next it was my turn?”
Everyone fell asleep one after another, and the topic about the baby barbarian did not continue beyond the beginning..
Of course, it wasn't a big problem because I was able to get a general idea of what kind of guys those three were just from the first three words of conversation..
‘First of all, I don't think I'm planning on doing anything today..’
I guess they're planning on pampering him to his heart's content and then killing him on the last day..
Because it's much more efficient that way.
‘…What should I do??’
I was worried.
First of all, as a barbarian myself, I had no intention of turning a blind eye to a baby barbarian in danger..
But I can't just follow them around forever and watch them until they reveal their ambitions..
‘Just go and kill them all?’
I chuckled and shook my head..
It's an easy and convenient method, but it's not the best..
The good thing was that there was still no evidence that those three were looters. Because I am confident that I can convince Misha and the baby barbarian with plausible words..
but…….
‘Well, the same thing will just happen over and over again..’
Sometimes you have to experience it yourself to realize it painfully..
‘Since training was the main purpose anyway, I could invest up to a day.…….’
After much thought, I came up with a plan and woke up Misha..
“Missha.”
“Yes……?”
I made a quiet hand gesture and moved to a place where no sound could be heard..
Then I briefly explained the plan..
Misha listened calmly while rubbing his eyes..
“Umm… So, you're saying that they're probably looters.?”
“Okay, if you don't mind, I'd like to take a moment to check..”
“I don't care. If you're a barbarian, you can't call yourself a stranger..”
“…It's not someone else's?”
“Oh no! I don't mean that... Maybe it's someone I met too?.”
It seems like he is referring to the fact that I served as a guide for the young warriors whenever they entered the labyrinth for several months.…….
Hmm, maybe it's one of them..
I've been advised countless times to be careful of humans, but it doesn't really matter until you experience it..
“That's it then. Hurry up and change your clothes.”
There was something to prepare for the plan..
***
Put the mace, lithium breastplate and shield into the bag..
‘The weapon... … Just say you lost it..’
After finishing the preparations, I checked the current situation one last time. The appearance of a perfect baby barbarian with no iron equipment except for the helmet..
Next to the road, there was a bare land prisoner..
“eww… This is uncomfortable…….”
For a perfect plan, we replaced the existing equipment with Gencia's beginner equipment set..
But since earlier, Missha has been fiddling with her chest..
Oh, it bothers me.
“What should I do??”
“huh? I don't know anything else, but the chest area is so tight.…….”
“chest area?”
When I glanced at Misha, he hit my solar plexus..
Seeing that even my bones were chilled, it looks like the cold damage was done properly..
“Where are you looking? It's definitely not because I'm fatter than her.?”
No, I didn't say anything..
I just looked at it because it was an unexpected complaint. The light armor he was originally wearing must have been the same size..
When I pointed out the contradiction, Misha answered calmly..
“The one before was also small, but it still didn't have an iron plate part..”
Well, if that's the case.
Jencia and Misha.
Both of them had the physique of an agile cat, but if you look closely, you will see the difference..
For example, a skeleton.
Even looking at it like this, he is quite tall..
I didn't measure it, but it's probably 170..
He seemed a bit cold, so I thought he was the rough type at first..
“It's only tight on the chest area, but it's rather roomy elsewhere. I understand?”
“i get it.”
I didn't know what you wanted, so I gave a rough answer..
But Misha must have sensed something like that and sighed..
“Phew, okay… How would you know about a woman's body??”
“Yeah, you're right..”
“Are you going to keep answering so insincerely??”
“If you're ready, let's go.”
Since it wasn't the time to talk about trivial things, we ended the conversation and moved to the previous location..
Deliberately making a fuss and showing off your popularity.
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
“Wow! Why are you suddenly screaming?!”
“I just felt like doing that.!”
“What?”
Misha looked at me with a puzzled expression, but the effect was amazing..
“Who, who are you?!”
Immediately a cry is heard from beyond the darkness..
“uh! There's a person over there!”
I shouted innocently and ran in the direction I heard the sound..
Soon, the invisible distance of the labyrinth ended, and the four explorers who had lit a bonfire came into view..
Three humans and one baby barbarian sleeping soundly.
“Stop, don't come any closer.”
The three humans were already awake and on guard..
“Lois, wake him up first..”
A bow named Lois woke up the baby barbarian with a tap with his foot..
“What, something? Is it a monster??”
“explorer.”
“Explorer? But why do you wake me up? I was sleeping well…….”
“Didn’t I say it last time? Explorers need to be as careful as monsters.”
“ah! I remember! but… The author is our compatriot.?”
Before I could nod at Hwaljaegi's words, the baby barbarian spotted me and waved his hand in joy..
“I am Charon, son of Tarson.!”
“This is Bjorn, son of Thor.!”
As I was about to leave, he approached me, shook my hand, and then bumped my shoulder. Then, I took a quick look and everyone's expressions were eye-opening..
Not only the three humans, but also Misha, who was mentioned.
‘What on earth are these barbarian bastards doing??’
He's watching us with eyes like this.
And did you feel this??
The baby barbarian looked at me as if to tell me not to worry and said to his companions.
“Everyone, put down your weapons! Bjorn, son of Thor, is not a bad explorer!”
“okay! I'm not a bad explorer!”
As the two of us spoke, the eyes of the archer and the spearman focused on one man..
I guess this guy is the leader.…….
The man sighed and nodded and everyone lowered their weapons. It seems ridiculous to be on guard until the end here..
“So barbarian—”
“This is Bjorn, son of Thor..”
“yes, thor—”
“Thor is my father's name.”
“Wow, Bjorn.—”
“Since we're not that close yet, I'd like you to call me by my full name..”
The leader, who stopped speaking three times in a row, looked quite upset, but showed patience and put on a smile..
And then he spoke to me again.
“Yes, Bjorn, son of Thor.?”
“speak.”
“If you don't have any business, I'd like you to leave. As you can see, I was taking a break..”
The leader's words were reasonable and common sense..
It is polite and customary for explorers not to approach each other..
but…….
So what should I do?.
Now I'm a big, precious baby barbarian who doesn't know anything like that..
Instead, I shouted as if everything went well..
“What a coincidence that you are resting! We were also looking for a place to rest.!”
“so… What does that have to do with us??”
“It's fate that we met, so let's rest together! Um, night friend? Yeah, there's something like that, right?!”
“night friend?”
The expressions of the three humans become strangely distorted, as if they had heard something they should not have heard..
It's not that I don't understand.
Looking for a night partner is a culture limited to the first floor..
You would never have imagined that on the second floor, where you go as a team, you would be offered a night out by some barbarian..
“ha…….”
The leader touched his forehead as if he didn't know where to start explaining..
But in the meantime.
“Oh, that will work. Come here, I laid down and it's a little less hard here..”
Baby Barbarian nods that he's right..
It's truly a total disaster..
The leader demonstrated the explorers' customs with superhuman patience..
In summary it was simple.
“So what you're saying is... From the 2nd floor onwards, you don't make any night friends.?”
“Yes, that's right. If you understand—”
Well, it's for those who are willing to understand..
I opened my mouth as if I was truly pathetic..
“You guys are so stupid! If we all sleep together, we can sleep more, right?!”
“huh?”
“If you have a brain, think about it. There are four of you and there are two of us, right? If there are seven people who take turns to be on watch, each person... … … … Anyway, I can sleep more.!”
A barbarian-style argument with no answer from start to finish..
Everyone was dazed, like someone hearing hallucinations..
Oh, except for one person..
“that… Right… … ! Why didn't explorers do that sooner??”
When I saw the baby barbarian nodding his head vigorously at my argument, did I realize that further conversation was meaningless??
“Look. We'll take care of it ourselves, so you can take care of your things and take them away.—”
The leader turned away from me and started talking to Misha, then suddenly stopped..
Looks like I've finally seen your face.
Even my voice, which was full of irritation, suddenly changed..
“Hmmm, it might be common to try to do that, but what do you think??”
Didn’t you like the way the guy was looking at you?.
Misha was shocked, but when I secretly noticed him, his expression changed..
“well… … ? I don't know... … . First of all, there are barbarians there too, so they don't seem like dangerous people.…….”
“Haha, that goes for you too..”
“Anyway, I was worried that he had lost his weapon and was on guard alone. So I guess she wouldn't mind spending the night with me as long as it's okay with her.…….”
“Oh my, I lost my weapon.?”
The man looked at me with strange eyes after hearing Misha’s words..
It seemed like he had finally realized that I was bare handed and without a weapon..
“Oh, a weapon? While fighting a monster, I accidentally missed it and it disappeared.!”
“Right?”
When I tell him a roughly made excuse, the man is convinced that it's just that..
After all, the Barbarian is a fraud..
‘Anyway, I think I've spread enough bait at this point.…….’
I made my final suggestion in a clear voice..
“So are you going to be friends for the night or not? Make a decision quickly. Because I'm getting sleepy.”
For your information, if I decline this offer, I was going to leave that way..
If I did this much and rejected it, it was much more likely that I had misunderstood these three..
but…….
“what… Although this is not a normal situation…….”
The leader exchanges glances with the three humans, his tail trailing off, and then smiles brightly..
“Since you said it was a difficult situation, it would be too heartless to let it go like this..”
“I can't understand if you say it so hard.”
“……If you want, you can rest for a night..”
I could barely suppress my laughter because I could see his true intentions so clearly..
Everyone has a plan.
***
A one-night stand that happened to happen.
Well, it feels weird saying it like this, but anyway..
First of all, we kept the name simple..
“This is Lois, Victor, and I am Briol..”
Royce is the archer, Victor is the spearman..
And even Briol, the leader and hammer warrior..
‘……There's no Hans.’
Is it really a pseudonym??
No, if I had used a pseudonym, the baby barbarian over there would have thought it was strange.?
Feeling strangely uneasy, Misha and I lay down together on a nearby seat..
I feel like I want to lay down a blanket, but it feels like a chimney.…….
If you do that, you'll be caught using an expandable backpack..
“You guys get some rest. I'll postpone it to the last turn..”
“Oh, you guys are such good explorers.!”
“ha ha ha… This friend is too.”
Anyway, as soon as I lay down, Misha whispered into my ear..
“Bjorn.”
“Be quite.”
“It's like you have to do this?”
Although he followed my instructions for now, Misha didn't seem to be very happy with the current situation..
Well, even if you are a bunch of bastards, it would be uncomfortable both physically and mentally to lie down defenseless..
but…….
“Just be patient. I'll give you what you want later.”
“…Really? It's what I promised?”
I stuck to this plan until I threw Misha a new carrot..
it was worth it.
Today, baby barbarian Karon Tarson will be reborn as a warrior..
Suspicious of humans and killing predators.
