Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 120
120dark clouds (4)
An office with a heavy woody scent.
Nile Urban, head of the 7th region of the Explorer Guild, smiled..
This is because I remembered what my daughter said a while ago..
[I have no intention of living the rest of my life as my father's doll..]
When the prison break first occurred.
He noticed his daughter's disturbing movements..
Well, there was no reason for the two of you to be alone with the branch manager at that time..
I was so suspicious of this fact that I investigated in earnest and found out that my daughter had been secretly strengthening her position within the guild..
‘A woman has a woman's life..’
For a time of rebellion, it was quite plausible..
Although I thought it was a pain in the ass, I also felt happy inside thinking that she was my daughter..
but…….
‘I told you to be careful about your breathing.’
The reason even such ambition can be viewed as cute is because the target is his daughter..
‘Branch Manager, it looks like he chose my daughter after all..’
Bjorn Jandel.
I decided to change his habits someday, but the barbarian grew tremendously in a short period of time..
The branch manager attempted to contact him today..
I still don't know what my daughter plans to do with the barbarian. However, it became obvious that the branch leader had taken over under her daughter..
That fact was very unpleasant..
‘How dare you rebel against me?.’
It's not that I don't understand why the branch manager made that choice..
He was already out of sight, and I had already decided who would take his place when he took off his clothes. He knew that too, so he would have tried to grab the rotten rope..
But understanding and forgiveness are completely different words..
‘I guess I'll have to take this opportunity to deal with both of them..’
Niall Urban's eyes lit up as he sipped his tea..
Originally I was planning on leaving the Barbarian alone..
Thinking about the humiliation at that time made me shiver, but I had built up my own position in just a few months..
There was no reason to increase the number of enemies by one..
But now things are different.
There must have been a reason why my smart daughter wanted to contact the barbarian..
‘……Plus, in a strange way, it keeps bothering me..’
Niall Urban has made a decision..
If something bothers you, just get rid of it..
Before it becomes a bigger problem later.

Kwakwakwaaang-!
How long has it been since I left the Explorers Guild?.
As I was returning to my accommodation, thunder struck the dry sky and torrential rain poured down..
‘Nimiral.’
Before you know it, gloomy dark clouds cover the sky..
I thought about just getting hit, but I thought it might be a shower, so I went into a nearby restaurant..
Since it was time to eat anyway, I thought I would eat and watch the situation for a while..
“The meal you ordered has arrived..”
Grilled meat and pumpkin stew and rye bread.
My insides are quite warm and well-warmed, but somehow I feel like it’s not enough..
It's not like I went to a cheap restaurant that costs 300 stone per meal like before..
‘surely… … Misha cooks meat well..’
I ordered extra rum, thinking I would buy some meat and ask for it to be grilled when I go out tomorrow..
Since this is what happened, I was planning to kill time until the rain stopped or at least calmed down a bit..
If I go back anyway, Missha won't be there..
‘Oh, is he still there because of the rain??’
As I drink alone with the sound of rain as a snack, my thoughts run wild..
It seems like not long ago that I was eating stone bread while watching out for goblin traps, but already half a year has passed..
‘Makgeolli with pajeon… … There won't be any place that sells it?’
The desire to return home has faded a lot..
I just got used to everything.
The creaky bed, the small single room with a bathroom, and the daily life of drinking cheap beer and laughing and chatting with colleagues..
‘I too have really changed a lot..’
I could tell you all day about the shitty things about this world. But if you ask me if I've never been happy…….
At first, my goal was survival, but as I watched myself grow, I felt joy as a gamer..
It wasn't a bad idea to flirt, laugh, and talk with your colleagues..
It felt a little unfamiliar..
‘If I hadn't been called here, I'd probably still be playing games alone in the corner of the room..’
29The interpersonal relationships between the three office workers, Lee Han-su, were extremely narrow. Of course, there were no complaints or inconveniences there..
I was steadily preparing for retirement, and I was able to live on my own without relying on others..
Unlike this world where companionship is forced.
‘Seeing this thought... I guess I felt affectionate too..’
I took a sip of the rum, which had a needlessly sweet aftertaste as if I had added sugar..
Dwalki, Rotmiller, dwarf.
When I think of these three, my taste buds become bitter..
‘If you want to get to the upper level, you have no choice but to form a new team..’
5From the first floor, the current members are not enough..
Should I say that the growth limit is clearly visible??
First of all, Dwarki is not from a magic tower and has a serious problem of being born with a low amount of magic power..
‘Although I am learning new magic quite often now, it can be said that I can barely use level 6 spells..’
Not to mention Rottmiller..
On the lower floors, all you have to do is find the way, but on the upper floors, a high level of combat power is also required for explorers..
That's because the maximum number of people in a party is five..
‘I wonder if that guy has awakened to become a leader. Otherwise, the 4th floor would be the limit..’
Of course, unlike these two, the dwarf will be able to be active in the upper floors as long as he has the right equipment..
But you don't have to have two tanks on your team..
‘……If Misha's specs improve a bit, I guess I'll have to form a new team..’
Actually, it was a problem I had been thinking about for a while, but I have finally made up my mind..
The troll war that took place this time played a big role..
I will continue to go upstairs, that goal cannot be achieved with these people.
It may seem harsh, but it is a decision for them..
Because the upper floors are full of monsters worse than trolls..
It would be better not to expect a repeat of this lucky survival.—
“Yandel?”
Uh, what's happening all of a sudden?.
I turned my head when I heard a voice calling me, and there was someone I had never expected standing there..
Mr. Bear.
No, I mean…….
“Urakburak?”
“…This is Uri Kfrit. If it is difficult to pronounce, you can just call it Abman..”
“Then do it that way..”
The macho-looking Mr. Bear sat down across from me without asking permission, perhaps to save his face..
I didn't feel particularly offended because it was something I did often..
“I never thought you would come as a guest..”
“customer?”
“Oh, I didn't mention that. This is a store run by my wife..”
Because you’re the boss…….
It was information I didn't know about, but it wasn't something to be too surprised about. If you are a level 5 explorer, you will have enough wealth to open a store..
If you're surprised, you should be surprised in some other way..
“Was this guy with a wife entering the labyrinth alone??”
“Because the store is running at a loss these days. Shouldn’t the country also work hard to earn money??”
Well, then I have nothing to say..
It's not something I can mess around with..
“Anyway, you are the owner of the place I came to take refuge from the rain. What a strange coincidence..”
“It's a coincidence that even saying it's amazing isn't enough. Thanks to you, I have confidence, Bjorn Yandel..”
“I can't believe I'm confident?”
Mr. Bear answered as if it was no big deal..
“Won't you put me on your team??”
huh? What is this again??
***
Suddenly asking me to accept you as a colleague?
It was an unexpected topic, but after listening to it, I understood it. From Uncle Bear’s perspective, I was a proven explorer..
“In that situation, if you can save someone you don't know, you won't stab them in the back, right?.”
500Although he asked for 10,000 stones, he seemed to be happy that he saved himself by using the highest quality potion in a crack cut off from the outside world..
‘……It happens again like this.’
Tank auxiliary summons and powerful long-distance physical damage.
It is clear that Mr. Bear will do his job without difficulty even on the 5th floor or higher..
but…….
“I guess I misunderstood something. Only this time, we went in separately and there was a fixed team..”
I roundly declined his offer..
I'm planning to stay at the Dwalki party for a while, but I can't just leave out someone else to include this guy..
Surprisingly, Mr. Bear nodded obediently..
“If that's the case. We'll talk about what we talked about today later, when the seat becomes empty or when we leave the team..”
“There's an empty seat?”
“You probably know what I'm talking about.?”
The colleague's case came to an end with Mr. Bear's meaningful look in his eyes. She later had a brief conversation about when she would repay the 5 million stone..
“I've already put some unused equipment on the exchange, so I'll be able to give it to you on the promised date..”
Looking at the inside of the store with only flies flying around, my heart feels quite heavy.…….
500The discussion ended with the agreement to meet again here ten days later and exchange the stone for collateral..
“Then I'll see you then.”
“Wear this and go. It will work for you too..”
It didn't seem like the rain would stop even if I waited any longer, so I borrowed a raincoat from Uncle Bear, put it on, and headed home..
Shoot aaaaa-
Heavy rain falling as if there was some kind of typhoon.
As I was running through an unfamiliar and quiet street, I quickly arrived at my accommodation..
But what is this again?.
“Oh, Bjorn is here? I'm your guest here.”
“Argh! mister……!!”
Like pouring rain on a sunny day, an unexpected meeting was waiting for me..
***
10Since that incident a year ago, I have lived with a lot of restraint..
So I thought I was confident I could endure it..
At least until today.
“If you covet something that belongs to someone else, shouldn't you be punished??”
Erwen stiffened at the thought that came out of his mouth without even realizing it..
“Yes? you… … You're a lot tougher than I thought.?”
Fortunately, it looks like they didn't realize the true meaning of what I just said.…….
‘My, what on earth can I say?…….’
Strictly speaking, it wasn't stolen..
Because you are not an object or anything.
Also, it was she who made the choice to leave her uncle's side and be with her sister..
But what does this feeling mean??
Crackling.
A strange level of hostility wells up..
Can we win if we fight??
I find myself thinking like that and looking at others without thinking..
“Come to think of it, we don't even know each other's names. I'm Misha Karlstein.”
“……Erwen Fornacci di Tercia.”
“Wow, the name is pretty... … Erwen, nice to meet you..”
“yes…….”
Hiding my reluctance, I shook hands..
And we sat down and talked..
I have no desire to become friends with that woman, but I had one question to ask..
“Mr. Karlstein, are you dating anyone??”
“School, fellowship... … That sounds strange. Me and Bjorn are just colleagues, colleagues.!”
“Hmm, I see..”
For some reason, I felt like my anger was fading away..
I just asked if you were dating someone, but I don't know why your name came up right away..
I guess I'll have to check some more..
“sorry. I guess I was mistaken because you said you washed together earlier..”
“Wow, what do you mean by washing together? I just rented the bathroom for a little while..”
“You're renting a bathroom in a man's room outside, I guess your accommodation is really far from here.?”
“Uh, it's not particularly far.…….”
“……No, no?”
Erwen's eyebrows arched at those words..
She may not be an old man, but it was clear that this woman had some dirty thoughts..
To the extent of using such shallow techniques..
“Hehehe! So how do you know Bjorn??”
Did you want to divert the topic from yourself??
This time, the other side asked a question..
Erwen answered honestly..
“I was a colleague with you..”
“Yes? mister… … ? Bjorn is only twenty years old.…….”
“Oh, it's just a nickname for me and you, so I don't think you need to worry about it..”
“nickname… … I said?”
“Yes, is there a problem??”
As I naturally tilted my head, the prisoner woman smiled awkwardly..
“Nope. Problem? That could be possible. Nyahat!”
His mouth was smiling, but his tail was wiggling and hitting the bedsheets as if he was in a bad mood..
Erwen felt a strange sense of victory at that sight..
Until an unexpected counterattack follows.
“You and I have a bit of a special relationship. First of all, he was my first colleague, and he was also my first returning owner.—”
“Hehe, but doesn’t that only mean something to you??”
“……yes?”
“After all, I've been with Bjorn for several months now, and I've never heard anything about you. Nyahat!”
The beast woman smiled brightly and plunged the dagger into her heart. Erwen couldn't hide her embarrassment at her sudden change in attitude..
But I knew one thing instinctively.
“You said it was Erwen, right? Whatever you do, it's not something you can't do if you think it's cute. however… … I wouldn't be annoyed if you showed such hostility and treated people like idiots.?”
Misha Karlstein.
It was natural to feel hostility as soon as I saw this woman..
“Well, thank you for one thing though. Thanks to you, I don’t think I’ll be confused anymore..”
“Hey, I'm not confused.?”
“well? Don’t you already know what I’m talking about??”
this woman is the enemy.
trying to take away something precious from her.
