Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 128
128Tuesday Karlstein (2)
At one time, it seemed like all my worries would disappear if I just made a contract with the Soul Tree..
But the reality was different.
[It's the glacier beast Skadia..]
My father's cold voice and gaze that seemed to treat others were still the same. She just doesn't speak as directly as she used to..
[Have you ever told this to anyone??]
[Uh, I don't have any.…….]
[Good job. For now, let's just keep it to you and me..]
A word of advice, not a request or anything like that..
[yes yes…….]
Misha couldn't say anything and nodded..
Because there was something that stung..
She did not make the contract in the normal way. She succeeded in signing the contract through trickery using a strange ring called the Frost Spirit Ring..
If my father knew this…….
‘I guess this kind of treatment is natural..’
Of course I didn't have the courage to ask this..
Because to her, her father was the person she feared more than anything else..
So, when my father asked me if I would bring that barbarian to the mansion, I said yes..
Well, I didn't say a word to Bjorn..
‘Yeah, this is a problem I have to overcome alone..’
Haven’t I already received a favor that would be difficult to repay?.
It shouldn't be a burden anymore..
I tried to rationalize it that way, but my true feelings were hidden deep down..
‘I don't want to get caught.’
I didn't want my situation known..
Hikurod, Dwalki, Rotmiller…….
Even if I was caught by all of them, I wanted to appear to Bjorn as if I was doing well..
So I stopped by the house often..
[I guess I'll just have to go now. I have to stop by my parents' house today..]
I worked hard.
The glances from my brothers asking why I stop by so often, the disdainful looks from the employees, and the lonely air as if I was left alone on a remote island at dinner..
faced face to face.
‘You can't run away anymore.’
Because I learned it from Bjorn..
You can't achieve anything by running away.
One month, two months, three months passed like that..
[Is he still there??]
My father's urging to bring Bjorn grew stronger. He said he didn't want to, but it seemed like his father already knew he was lying..
If you look at the conditions like this,.
[Bring it to me within this month. Then I will reconsider my treatment of you. Do you understand??]
To put it simply, it means that he will inform the family that he has made a contract with a spirit tree and treat him like a proper child..
I didn't know why he went to such lengths to meet Bjorn..
However, Misha decided to invite Bjorn..
I felt like I was using him, but…….
‘Because I just have to do better and repay it..’
I thought that if I did well, I could be confident with Bjorn in the future. In addition, there was some calculation that if he gained the support of the Karlstein family, it would help his progress..
[good night.]
[……what? Really? Really? and! There is no softening?]
[Okay, what time can I go tomorrow??]
Contrary to his worries, Bjorn readily agreed..
But even though I was happy for a while, I quickly became anxious..
Once you get to the mansion, you won't be able to hide anymore..
What should I do with that??
It was clear that if Bjorn went on a rampage there, things would get out of control..
but…….
‘……You are overly self-conscious! overabundance!’
Misha smiled and erased his anxiety..
That's because Bjorn is a warrior who is both hot and colder than anyone else..
Sacred place of other races.
They wouldn't do something like that in the middle of a pureblood family..
Isn’t it a relationship connected by blood like family?.
There is no way to choose between Karlstein and Chuck at such a high price..
‘Yeah, that doesn't make sense. what did i say…….’
Misha organized his thoughts like that..
For some reason, my heart ached after admitting it, but dreams and reality are completely different..
Now she knows it too.
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
The tail stood stiffly at the sound of a roar so ferocious that it hurt my ears..
It was natural.
The user is wondering what kind of situation this is.…….
She knew because she was stuck with him..
“You clearly have a problem with your head..”
That means I'm going to break your head!
***
“Oh, you're crazy! Ha, don't do it! Why are you doing this all of a sudden?!”
Misha is startled and grabs my forearm, then turns his head and looks around. It looks like they're checking to see if anyone else heard this commotion..
When I saw that, I felt sorry for myself too..
‘It feels like I'm seeing myself in elementary school..’
Concession and consideration. Consistently erasing oneself by prioritizing other people’s feelings.
I also thought that was normal at one time.
but…….
“Why? I just wanted to!”
“Well, what are you talking about?!!”
I said, removing Misha's arm, which was causing the game..
“Misha, sometimes you can do whatever you want..”
“Yes……?”
“Why hold back? No matter how much you endure, in the end it's all just good for others..”
“I'm not a stranger, I'm a family…….”
what is family.
Now that I see it, I can say it's not a stranger but a guy..
I asked again.
“So is that family more important than your life??”
Misha kept his mouth shut..
Well, you probably know it in your head too..
What is the source of the effort to visit the family periodically in search of a harmonious family?.
“…….”
It's all just regrets.
Even if you have it, it’s useless.
A feeling that is nothing short of a crystallization of inefficiency..
“Answer me. If so, I'll stop here..”
I checked with the doctor one last time and Misha said nothing..
That was the answer for me.
“From now on, just watch. Because you won't have anything to worry about.”
“Ha, but if you hurt that person—”
Yeah, it's going to be crazy..
The fine is not the problem, but you will have to face the wrath of the Karlstein family, who is presumed to value honor..
however…….
“Misha Karlstein, when have I ever said something I couldn't keep??”
“……There wasn't any.”
“Yeah, so just trust me..”
I didn't do it thoughtlessly..
The ignorance barbarian mode shines when you turn it on and off while observing the situation..
plod.
I leave Misha behind and take a step forward..
The user was still full of courage..
thus.
“What on earth were you two talking about? No matter how bad I learned manners,—”
Suddenly, I grab the guy by the neck and lift him up..
“Aren't you the one who has no manners??”
“Big, loud!”
“As a servant of the Karlstein family, how dare you act so recklessly without even knowing the owner?.”
“Well, that's……!”
The guy looked distressed.
Also, he gave me a look of disbelief..
Well, you might wonder if this is a dream.
This isn't a dark back alley. Who would have imagined something like this would happen in broad daylight in front of the mansion's gate??
“No, let go… … Ugh!”
Is it because I lack imagination??
“If you did something like this…….”
If you do something like this, you'll be in big trouble.?
eat.
Anyone who knows that wouldn't do something like this..
If he did it, it would be correct to think that it means he had an idea..
But you don’t even know this simple principle..
“You have a problem with your head, after all..”
Clench your fist tightly and apply moderate force..
If they were killed, even the country of Amman would be in a difficult situation to handle..
“Don't worry. Most of the time, if you hit it, it will be fixed..”
“Ugh, uhuh!!”
I grabbed the neck of the guy who was trying to say something to silence him and then gently rubbed the area suitable for hitting him..
And as if letting go of a honey chestnut, I struck it with only the strength of my wrist..
Powok-!
The guy who lost all his strength and fainted with just one blow..
I checked the wound while holding the neck as if looking at an object..
Blood was dripping from my crushed nose, but…….
I have to do this to set an example for the future..
“……What do you plan to do now? If my father found out, he would never stay silent..”
Misha, who was watching with an almost resigned expression, asked about his future plans. He told me to trust him and stayed quiet, but he didn't seem to feel at ease..
“If you watch, you will know.”
I lifted the unconscious person with one hand and headed towards the entrance of the mansion. As I was passing the garden, I saw people around me..
People mowing the lawn or carrying luggage somewhere..
“……Hehe! Quickly deliver the news to Veros.!”
Attention is focused, and some people run away and head into the mansion..
I followed them into the open door..
and…….
“Stop, Barbarian.”
Surrounded by fifteen prisoners.
Combat personnel who are fully armed and have a ferocious spirit. When I stopped, the guy who seemed to be the leader opened his mouth..
In a tone as if giving an order.
“Misha Karlstein, can you explain how this happened? Who is that barbarian, and why is Brante, who is supposed to be guarding the main gate, in such a state?.”
His name was Brante..
“Uh, that's it…….”
“Misha, no need to explain..”
I threw Brante, who was now out of use, among the guys. And at the same time, the guys were surprised and accepted the guy..
“What on earth are you guys doing?!!”
I shouted so loudly that the mansion rang..
All the prisoners had blank eyes..
Should I say that it feels like my head can't keep up with what kind of situation this is??
“I came here at the invitation of your matriarch. But this guy insulted me, calling me a poor barbarian.!”
Misha tilted his head at my continued shouting..
And he chanted so softly that only I could hear..
“Oh, did I say something like that??”
He also has a tendency to worry about the little things..
It's okay if you insist that you don't remember because you hit your head on purpose..
“Don't lie! There's no way Brante would do something like that..”
For a moment I was taken aback by my shouts.
Pakppakgi refuted it as if it was nonsense..
To me, it was like digging my own grave..
Because ignorant barbarians are immune to logical attacks.
“Are you lying? Are you insulting me too??”
When I take a step forward with the intention of attacking at any moment, the dog steps back..
I don't think it's because I'm afraid of battle..
Maybe it's because I'm the head of the family's guest..
“What the hell is all this fuss about?!”
While the prisoners were at a loss, a man jumped from the second floor connected to the central staircase..
It was a face I remembered..
Misha's older brother whom I met on the third floor the other day..
So, the name is…….
I don't remember. No, did you even listen in the first place??
I decided to let go of the little things and focus on the immediate moment..
“I never would have guessed that you were the guest that your father called..”
“It's been a while.”
“We said hello, so what's going on??”
My brother narrows his eyes and glares at me..
“If you can't explain it properly, no matter how much you do, you won't be able to return home unscathed..”
Oh, it's hard to give me a cruel look.
Last time, I saved your life..
‘Anyway, I don't like this guy..’
I repeated the same insult I had received from the gatekeeper, Brande, and then added another story..
“If it were just me, I would have endured it. But what is this crazy guy? How dare you even insult Misha when you live by your family??”
As I pointed at Brante, who had fainted, and shouted, wrinkles were clearly drawn on my brother's forehead..
“I told you to avoid it when outsiders are around..”
It was a slightly absurd reaction..
It was a hastily made story, but they just said they wanted to.?
Fuck, this place was worse than I thought..
It must have been happening like everyday life..
I said without hiding my rising disgust..
“So you all knew this but tolerated this??”
“It's an internal matter within the family. There is no reason to explain it to you. And now you guys go to your seats..”
“Yes, Taillon..”
Soon my brother caught his guard, turned his head and stared at me again..
“Bjorn Jandel, it is clear that there was a mistake on our part in this matter, so we will not make it a problem..”
“and?”
“……If it is true that I have insulted you, I will punish you accordingly. So be satisfied with this.”
“Satisfaction…….”
I blurted out my words and chuckled..
Giving a proper education to a spoiled brat.
Furthermore, it shows in front of many people that I am a formidable person..
Originally, this was my plan..
but…….
‘I guess I'll have to go to plan B..’
I smiled and approached my brother..
“Do you have a problem with your head too??”
Plans always change.
