Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 119
119dark clouds (3)
In the end, this exploration came to a halt after the troll war..
This is because Dwalki's condition has not improved much..
[Even if you take more potions, you won't get better. Because not all people have strong bodies like yours..]
Without correction of natural regenerative power, it takes time for the muscles and bones to return to their original positions even after the wound has completely healed..
So as soon as we got back to the city, we had to run past the checkpoint and start at the temple..
Unlike Rottmiller, Dwalki was not something that could be solved with time..
“Huh, I guess I'll buy it now.…….”
Dwalki, who couldn't even stand up for a week, finally succeeded in standing up on his own after receiving 'advanced healing'..
“Are there any aftereffects? I was worried because the treatment was delayed.…….”
“Haha, don't worry. My condition has improved enough to allow me to enter the labyrinth right now..”
“If so, you're lucky.”
Perhaps thanks to the initial suppression with the highest quality potion, Dwarki became as lively as usual after being hit with divine power..
Thanks to you, I was less worried..
If there are any aftereffects, it will cause problems from the next exploration..
“Then we'll meet again in two days, and we'll go back and rest for today..”
In fact, since the entire team gathered together and only a small amount of magic stones were obtained, distribution was postponed until after the quest completion fee was received and the team was disbanded..
‘Hmm, I guess it's about 400,000 stones per person.?’
I'll have to divide it up to find out the exact details, but if I sell all the by-products of the Frogman Shaman and divide them into five parts, that's roughly what it will be..
It was promised that 200,000 tons would be paid for the potion..
‘Phew, you fucking troll..’
Bone loss is no joke because of this guy..
If you're looking for equipment that's bent here and there, it's sure to cost a lot of money to repair it..
If you made me go through that trouble, I would at least spit out my essence..
It's a shame because so much happened in front of me, otherwise I would have come back with a loss..
“Bjorn, what are you going to do now??”
“First, I plan to go to my accommodation, wash up, and then go to put my things away. Oh, of course you too.”
“Yes? me too……?”
“Didn’t you have a good rest in the labyrinth? Don't even think about jumping out..”
“You didn't think of that? Anyway, it's a hassle to go all the way to my dorm, so you can just wash up at your dorm.?”
“Of course.”
There was no need to waste time moving around, so I went to my accommodation with Misha..
And I washed up first and came out..
Because you need to move quickly to get to the commercial district before the carriages run out..
“Eh? I already washed everything?”
“You can wash slowly. It's going to take a while to pack up all the luggage anyway..”
“Oh, really?”
After putting Misha in the bathroom, I laid out and organized the loot I had acquired this time..
Equipment and consumables obtained by defeating the trio who were targeting Gencia and the baby barbarian..
‘I think we can sell this and keep this and use it for ourselves.…….’
As I was organizing my list by writing it down on paper, someone knocked on my door..
“Are you in there??”
It was the first time I heard a man's voice..
I opened the door and saw a man wearing an explorer guild employee badge..
“Are you Bjorn Yandel??”
“……right.”
“Could you please go to the guild with me??”
Fuck, suddenly?
I felt like shit because I remembered hearing similar things and being thrown in jail.…….
Looking at the employee's tone of voice and facial expression, the situation clearly seems different from then..
There are no guards in sight.
I decided to calmly assess the situation first..
“Start by telling me what's going on. Let's go or not, then we'll decide.”
“Oh, I didn't tell you that first..”
The employee said, “Oops,” and then carefully explained the situation..
“……witness?”
“Yes, Yandel will prove to you that he is not a plunderer.…….”
Baby Barbarian is in danger.

“Normally, this request would not be accepted, but as you know, all related regulations have become stricter since 'that incident'... … . I know it's rude, but I came to check. If you have no relationship with him, you can just refuse.—”
“egg plant.”
“yes?”
“I'll just change my clothes and come out, so wait..”
After closing the door, I put my coat on top..
And I informed Misha, who was taking a shower, that I was going out..
“Missha, today’s schedule is cancelled..”
“what? Why all of a sudden?”
“It seems like something is wrong with Charon. I'm going to the explorer's guild for a while, so after you're done, you can go home..”
“what? What does that mean... … ! No, more details—!”
“I must have waited. Hurry up and go.”
“Is that so annoying, you old barbarian?!!”
Anyway, it's Misha's cry that cuts to the core..
I headed to the guild with the employee waiting outside..
Coincidentally, the place I arrived at was the branch where I escaped..
“It's been a while since I've been here.”
“yes? Ah, yes… … . Let's go in. The branch manager is waiting..”
“Branch manager……?”
After looking around and thinking about old times, I followed the staff up to the third floor and saw Charon dozing off on the sofa..
Sitting across from me is the branch leader with a mustache..
With a very uncomfortable expression.
“Oh, how have you been??”
“……Thanks to.”
Well, that's blunt..
Still, it doesn't seem to be as troublesome as I thought. If Charon had really been accused of being a usurper, she would not be sleeping here, but locked in a dungeon..
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
First, I woke up Charon..
No, it's a bit hard to say I woke him up.?
“Charon, don’t pretend to sleep, wake up. There is no need to continue here.”
The branch manager and staff tilted their heads at the same time at my words, and then Charon slowly opened his eyes..
“……How did you know?”
How do you know?.
Finally, after saying such meaningful words, he disappeared..
“For some reason, if it were you... I thought so.”
“Does this mean that you are recognized as a warrior??”
“Yeah, that's it..”
I nodded roughly and Charon smiled genuinely happily and gave me a shoulder bow..
“Anyway, thank you for coming. Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
“It's natural. Has anything bad happened to them??”
“Rest assured that nothing like that happened. If that were the case, would this friend have any reason to be here??”
Well, that's right.
But I didn't ask you.
“Charon, answer me.”
“That didn't happen.”
“Right.”
I nodded and chuckled..
This is why precedents are important..
If I hadn't left the damn thing behind, they wouldn't have treated me so well.?
dump.
In that sense, I don't need to ask for permission and just sit comfortably on the sofa. Maybe the branch manager has forgotten what kind of guy I am..
“I do it with rum.”
“Are you discriminating against me because I'm a barbarian??”
The branch manager let out a long sigh..
“Phew… There is no alcohol. If it’s tea, I can give it to you.—”
“Cold water. Float a bucket of ice.”
“That's right…….”
Are humans really learning creatures??
Instead of pointing out my unresponsive tone or behavior, the branch manager obediently gave me what I wanted..
I learned with my whole body how to treat ignorant barbarians..
‘The bottom line is that Barbarians are really scammers..’
As I put my dusty feet on the expensive-looking table, Charon looked at me with shining eyes..
“As expected, you… What a warrior.…….”
It must have been quite impressive to act like a random person in front of someone whose name is the head of a branch of an explorer guild..
Well, I think this was the same for the branch manager as well..
If you see him drop his mustache as if he is not praying.
“You guys really…….”
“Well, do you have anything to say??”
“…There is none.”
The branch manager lowers his tail as soon as he asks a question as if growling, in case he gets caught..
eat.
It was the reaction I had expected..
Because a lot has changed since I saw it before..
I'm not the level 9 barbarian I used to be..
“I heard a rumor about you. They call it Little Balkan?”
Became a level 6 explorer in just a few months.
He is also a famous explorer with a bright future..
I am close with Baron Martoin, and there are even rumors going around that the Count is watching me closely..
Also, if you've been watching me, you'd know that I was in and out of the Magic Tower every week because of Raven's research..
Of course, there are other important things.
“Here is ice water…….”
I became stronger.
1It's enough to turn this branch manager's head into an exploded tomato with just a second..
Well, it may be the middle of a city where the law takes precedence over violence, but what do you know? At least the branch manager probably thinks I'm not the type of guy to care about such things..
“Let’s cut through the noise and get to the point. What does Charon plan to do now??”
When I asked while gently pushing the ice water I had ordered to the side, the branch manager shrugged his shoulders..
“…nothing. If you want, that friend can just leave. Because it was confirmed by a wizard that it was self-defense..”
“……what?”
I was dazed for a moment by the unexpectedly cool response..
‘I already checked with the wizard.?’
It certainly wasn't a strange story..
Because he doesn't have high resistance like me..
Without needing to call me, I would have been able to determine whether Charon's words were true or not with just one spell..
But, that means.
‘There was a purpose for me, not Charon..’
I figured it out quickly.
Yes, this is what an explorer guild should be like..
Now my heart is starting to feel a little tight..
“Charon, you can just leave..”
“Is that okay? I was hungry though…….”
“If you skip meals, you won't grow taller. Go quickly.”
“i get it! See you next time, Bjorn, son of Yandel.!”
First, I sent out Charon..
I don't know what it was, but the branch manager also had a feeling that there would be fewer people listening..
“Mr. Oddrian, thank you for your hard work. You go down too..”
“Yes, branch manager..”
Soon the employee who guided me and gave me ice water left, leaving us alone in the branch manager's office..
“…….”
No one said anything and silence naturally followed..
I didn't press and waited for him to speak first..
“The reason is?”
“Lady Urban would like to meet you..”
“The Urbans Lady? who is that?”
When I stared at him with eyes wishing for a detailed explanation, the branch manager asked as if I was being dumbfounded..
“Are you serious? You really don't remember the man you took hostage.?”
Ah, the district manager’s daughter..
Damn, you should have said that a long time ago..
“……I guess I completely forgot about it though.?”
“Hmm, anyway, so why does she want to meet me??”
“Well, you'll find out naturally when you meet them.—”
What do you say, where are you talking about??
“Then I refuse.”
“what?”
“I'm hungry every day, so what time is there to waste??”
As I stood up as if this was the end of the conversation, the branch manager continued speaking urgently..
“……I can't say much, but I'm sure it won't be harmful to you. I just wish it was helpful.”
Well, seeing as I've done this, it doesn't seem like I'll be spewing out any more information even if I do it more..
‘The woman who was taken hostage wants to see me.…….’
There was nothing to worry about.
“Tell them you don't like it!”
Oh, I'm so busy already..
Troublesome work is a thing of the past.
***
In the middle of the street in broad daylight.
“Haha, haha, haha…….”
Erwen was running through the crowd..
Not only did I wash my body until it was soft, but even the skirt I wore for the first time in a while was already soaked with sweat.…….
‘uh… … It won't smell?’
Well, that'll be fine..
Haven't we shown each other even more sides of ourselves than this??
First of all, meeting him was more important to her..
‘……He was still alive!’
While I was extremely happy about that fact, I also felt a sense of self-destruction..
Bjorn, son of Yandel.
The barbarian who was her first companion and who saved her when she was wandering alone in the labyrinth..
The person who disappeared before my eyes before I could repay the favor, the person I thought was dead all this time..
I felt like a fool for thinking I was alone and locking myself in my room..
‘I never thought you would become so famous…….’
There was no need to ask around..
After returning to the city, I asked a few people, and most of them knew his name..
One of them even knew the location of the accommodation he was staying in..
‘Uh, wait… … Then why didn't you say anything??’
A thought like that suddenly occurred to Erwen, but she didn't delve deeper into it..
You probably didn't hear it.
There's no way my sister hid it on purpose..
It wasn't even important right away..
‘Ugh, what should I say when we meet? If you think about it, I disappeared at some point..’
My heart pounded non-stop..
It's truly a pleasant sound that I haven't felt in a long time..
I didn't want to see the sun rise and set, so I kept the curtains closed, but the sunlight on my skin was warm and cozy today..
‘Let me first apologize. Because you must have been looking for me too. Probably the reason you couldn't come was because you didn't remember where our accommodation was..’
Erwen soon arrived at his destination and organized his thoughts one last time, preparing for the upcoming meeting..
And after straightening my disheveled clothes,.
knocked on the door.
plod, trudge.
I heard people walking inside..
And it got closer quickly.
My heart is pounding!
I felt like my heart was going to explode.
I wanted to quickly meet him and talk like we used to. Just like the time when we talked about each other's daily lives and laughed and chatted..
‘Wouldn’t you be surprised to know that I can control all four major spirits? Uh, no… You've become much stronger than me, so I guess I can't even brag about something like this.?’
I was a little worried, but I will praise you in the end..
Well done, you had a hard time.
Since he is not someone else but a man, it will definitely be like that..
“Hi-Hi…….”
It was a time when the corners of my mouth went up at that thought..
Suddenly.
Finally the door opened.
But what is this again?.
“Eh? Who are you??”
The person who opened the door and came out was a prisoner..
A person from the Miao tribe with a triangular ear on top of his head..
Erwen checked the number on the door..
201like.
It wasn't the wrong place.
I asked the question several times to confirm, so there was no way I could have misheard. Then, did the person who informed me know something wrong??
Hmm, I guess so..
Still, it could be in the next room, so let's ask. He's become so famous that anyone living in the same dorm would definitely know..
“Are you a man… No, do you know which room Bjorn Jandel is staying in??”
“huh? Bjorn was a guest?”
“yes? What do you mean by that?…….”
“If it were Bjorn, he went out after washing up a little while ago, so he would come inside and wait.?”
I said I went out after washing up a little while ago.……?
No, wait a minute before that… If this woman is saying, doesn’t this mean that this is the man’s room??
I was confused.
What's going on??
“Or, tell me who it is. When Bjorn returns later, he will tell you that someone came to visit..”
Doesn’t this make it seem like we’re living together? Erwen looked up in a daze and checked the beastman's face once again..
It was pretty.
Even if she was from a fairy tribe, she couldn't refute anything..
and…….
dripping.
Drips flowed from his red hair..
As if you just got out of the shower.
“You said you went out after washing up a little while ago.?”
“Yes, but why is that?”
The corners of Erwen's mouth twisted as if to ask if there was some problem..
Of course it wasn't long.
“no. Nothing. Can I go inside and wait??”
“Uh, yeah……?”
Soon she entered the room..
It was a mess with loot lying on the floor..
“It's a bit messy... … ? I don’t normally do this.…….”
“i know. What is this? Because I also tried it with you..”
“huh? Have you tried it? iced coffee… … You too are an explorer?”
“yes.”
“Well, don’t get this weird misunderstanding? I got all this from looters—”
“Do not worry. Don't misunderstand.”
Erwen interrupted the beastman's words and focused on the sound of his heart..
And then he smiled and spoke.
“If you covet something that belongs to someone else, shouldn't you be punished??”
My heart, which was beating hot just a moment ago, has suddenly cooled down..
