Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 283

fighting.

The insect-type monster ‘Cronby’ became light and disappeared, dropping a magic stone..

I didn't bother to pick it up..

Well, what are you going to do with that? In a situation where there are no pockets to store.

‘It's going to turn.’

In some ways, it's worse than when I first fell into the labyrinth and had to crawl on three legs..

Because I even had underwear back then..

‘……Let's think about where this is later, and first find something to cover..’

Feeling embarrassed for being in an unfamiliar situation, I quickly organized the tasks I had to do and completed them one by one..

First of all, clothing, which is one of the items of food, clothing, and shelter..

It's a world where there are only trees everywhere, and monsters turn into light and disappear the moment you catch them, but satisfying the righteousness wasn't that difficult..

I'm a barbarian to begin with?

‘……You're really trying all sorts of things here..’

First, pick up a vine that fits your waist..

Then, attach leaves the size of pumpkin leaves to the vine, wrap them around your waist, and tie the stems..

With this, the equipment that will protect my dignity, called ‘Tree Spirit’s Protection’, has been completed..

‘……It's stronger than I thought?’

As I moved around wearing the items I made, I was surprised by the level of completion that was higher than expected..

After all, the root is the root??

There was a reason why the early humans preferred this look..

‘……I guess I should make one for him too..’

While I was leaving, I also made Amelia's..

Unlike me, who had enough bottoms, Amelia needed two parts.…….

Since he is much smaller than me, the work time itself was not much different..

‘Still, I made it generously so you don’t have to worry about the size..’

‘This is one of the few advantages of ‘tree spirit’s protection’..

It's so primitive that being big doesn't matter..

Just tie the stem tightly and that's it..

‘How long is he going to sleep for?.’

I approached Amelia and threw the ‘Wood Spirit’s Protection (Female)’ on her body..

It's not like I didn't think about putting it on.…….

‘It becomes more awkward for no reason.’

No matter how much I think about it, I think wearing it is too much of a line..

There is a saying that cancer is the same stone for both men and women..

‘Anyway, I'm not hungry right now, so let's make a place to rest first..’

After satisfying the righteousness, I immediately began preparing to complete the main task..

This wasn't too difficult either..

All you have to do is dig a hole with a shovel-sized hand and stuff the large leaves used to make 'Tree Spirit's Protection' into it..

Oh, I picked up some dry wood and made a bonfire in the center..

Surprisingly, starting a fire was easy..

‘Is it because my body is full of strength??’

As I continued to rub the wood with great force, smoke rose quickly..

Surprisingly, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done with force..

‘By the way, when is this guy going to wake up?.’

Soon, I picked up Amelia and laid her down on the leaf bed and looked up at the sky..

It was already night.

However, thanks to the fire being lit, it didn't feel cold, and visibility was clear, so even if monsters came out, I would be able to fight as usual..

With that said, I moved on to the next item..

‘The problem is the expression…….’

It is the third element for life, and if you consider survival alone, it is not enough to count it as the first factor..

“Ha, really…….’

I couldn't help but sigh.

It wasn't my first time entering the country, and I didn't know I would have to worry about this again now..

Growling.

……How do I get something to eat??

***

There are no mountains on Parune Island..

Except for the coast, it's all flat forest land, so there's plenty of shade, so the light from the bonfire doesn't spread far..

but…….

‘Bastards like moths.’

The light from the bonfire was enough to attract nearby monsters, so I had to deal with them non-stop all night long..

Well, that didn't put out the bonfire..

Because monsters appear even when there is no light in the first place..

The decision was made that it would be more reasonable to fight with at least a clear view..

‘……It's not like I can sleep in this situation..’

After several more hours of fighting hunger, Amelia finally came to her senses..

“You finally woke up.”

“……How did know?”

“Because the sound of breathing disappeared.”

It's really funny to see this too.

It's clear that he came to his senses, but he just closed his eyes and said nothing..

Are you saying understanding the situation comes first??

“……Where are we??”

“Wait, put that on before you wake up..”

“……?”

Amelia raises her upper body and frowns when she sees the piece of wood placed on her naked body..

“Barbarian, you… Did you strip me??”

It was one of the questions I expected Amelia to ask when she opened her eyes, so I didn't panic and answered it right away..

“Can you say that even after looking at me? My clothes were all gone too..”

“……Right.”

As soon as I turned my back, I heard the sound of rustling leaves behind me. Fortunately, it looks like you don't have to explain how to wear it..

“Now that it's done, you can look back..”

When I looked back again, Amelia was wearing all of the ‘Wood Spirit’s Protection (Female)’ that I had made..

It was a very strange feeling..

Since they are both wearing these things, should I say it looks like some kind of set item??

If we fight together, I think we'll get a set effect buff..

“So where am I??”

Amelia asked me the first question again without changing her expression, as if she had no shame in the clothes she was wearing..

Well, it's up to me to ask the question..

“This is Farune Island. I don't know how much time passed, but when I opened my eyes, we had all taken off our clothes..”

In addition to this, I briefly briefed on the various questions I felt as soon as I opened my eyes, and Amelia kept her mouth shut..

Looks like he needed some time to organize his thoughts..

I asked after giving it about a minute..

“Well then, let’s talk now. Why are we in this state?.”

“……Why are you asking me that??”

Uh huh, pretending not to know.

“Didn’t the stone you were holding shine at the end? I'm pretty sure it has something to do with this..”

“yes, that's it…….”

Amelia clenched and opened her empty hands for no reason..

But the thing that wasn't there since I opened my eyes didn't suddenly appear..

Oh right. I should say this first too.

“As I said in advance, I did not touch that item either. I don't even know where I disappeared to.”

“Don't worry. Because I don’t have that doubt.”

Hmm, does that mean you have that much credibility??

“So the answer to the question is?”

“……I have a feeling, but I'm not sure..”

No, I want you to tell me that, girl..

Even in this situation, we need to control information.?

“Just say it calmly. What on earth is that stone and why are we in this situation??”

Amelia frowned when she asked without hiding her irritation..

and…….

“that…….”

Just as I was about to open my mouth again with an expression as if I had made up my mind.

widely.

I heard the sound of a tree branch breaking near the bushes..

At the same time, we both lowered our posture and looked in the direction from which the sound came..

Well, there are only insect types on this island..

In other words, it means that there is a high possibility that the person who made that sound was a person..

“…….”

Except for the sound of the bonfire, there was breathtaking silence..

Thanks to you, I became more nervous.

If I had heard someone pretending to be someone, I might have thought it was just a random person passing by..

“How long are you going to keep stealing? Come out.”

Soon, Amelia looked into the dark bushes and muttered coldly..

The reaction came after about 5 seconds..

“Haha, when you say that, it makes me think we're bad people..”

Five explorers stretch out their crouched bodies and come out through the bushes..

What, were you really watching??

Since when??

‘Nimiral.’

I felt dizzy, but first I scanned the other group..

All were human and male..

Considering the equipment, the level is…….

‘5floor level.’

However, there is a clan emblem on the chest..

It's the first clan emblem I've seen..

‘You belong to a clan and have reached the 6th floor, so on this island you are acting as a team??’

Of course, there is a sense of incongruity here too..

Due to the current situation, most explorers did not enter this labyrinth. So the condition of less than 20 people was satisfied on this island as well..

But now I meet explorers like this.?

something is not clear.

It was a car that vaguely gave me that feeling..

“Why were you spying on us??”

A full-fledged conversation began with Amelia asking, clearly showing caution..

“Don't misunderstand. I happened to see a light in the distance and thought it was a member of our clan, so I came over to say hello, but when I saw what they were doing, I was surprised and just watched. Oh, and I just discovered it in the first place..”

It was understandable to some extent..

If it were me, I would have wondered what it was like to see a man and woman wearing leaves like primitive people in the center of the island..

You might be curious about the situation.

“So what happened??”

“you don't need to know.”

“Hehehe, don't be too wary. At first glance, the situation does not look good…….”

“I would have said I didn't need it?”

Amelia drew a sharp line in response to the man's question..

But did you find that part attractive??

“Hehehe, the ancal keeper.”

The man laughed cheerfully without any signs of displeasure..

Honestly, it looked like a crazy bastard to me..

I'm not asking you to kill me..

“Amelia.”

“I will decide for myself, so you just stay still..”

Okay.

When I called her by name to tell her not to make the situation too big, Amelia also became a little more lenient..

“The boat I was on ran aground. Before parting ways with his colleagues, he made an appointment to meet here. Did you explain it??”

Just by looking at it, it seems like a story created by adapting my story..

“Hmm, then where is all the equipment??”

“The equipment was put in the backpack and lost before falling into the water. The clothes I was wearing were wet and dirty so I just threw them away..”

“I guess so.”

Afterwards, the man showed curiosity and asked Amelia a few more questions, and Amelia told him a roughly plausible story..

Of course, if you dig deeper, there were many contradictions.…….

“Oh, I never thought there would be such a story! You must have been quite embarrassed..”

As if such contradictions were somehow okay, the man's eyes lit up as he scanned Amelia's naked body..

It was that moment.

“This is it, very lucky…….”

Powok-!

Amelia lands a high kick on the man's head..

dump-

Ha, this girl is really.

As a barbarian, I stayed still..

‘Who on earth did you learn to hit first and then watch??’

I sighed inwardly, but immediately moved my body as if I had been waiting..

“What are you doing?!”

Isn’t the water already spilled?.

We'll figure out what's right and wrong later, and get it together now..

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

[[Wild Eruption] was triggered and [Giantization] was activated..

And then [Leap] landed in the center of their formation..

and…….

‘swing.’

He swung his club and knocked the wizard to the ground..

‘Okay, for now the magistrate is bored..’

I naturally twisted my waist and swung the club using centrifugal force towards the archer next to me..

but…….

“Noooom!!!”

The second surprise attack failed as the shieldman next to the archer blocked it properly..

simplicity and honesty.

As a bonus, the club that was blocked by the shield was also shattered..

Sigh, if it had been a mace, I would have sent the shield flying away..

Tuk.

I threw my broken club on the floor and grabbed my shield with both hands..

and…….

“Give it to me.”

I pulled it with force..

It was difficult to steal one thing at once..

Regardless of the difference in strength, most shields are held with a belt wrapped around the wrist..

Of course it was a minor problem.

If your arm is the problem, the problem will end if you break it..

Kwasik-!

“Ahhhhh!!”

After pulling the guy with his shield, I hit him with his elbow and shattered his joints..

Then, I kicked him and took his shield.—

Gang-!

Immediately he put his shield to the side and blocked the incoming arrow..

And that was the end of the battle..

Puuk-!

Amelia organized most of it in that short period of time..

Soon the archer fell to the ground, bleeding, and there was no one standing around..

Not all of them are dead…….

“Oh, what an auror?…….”

Everyone lost their will to fight when they saw Amelia emitting aura from the sword she stole..

“you… know who we are……!”

The first man who fell after receiving a high kick looked up at us with venomous eyes..

Ha, why did things happen like this??

“Be quite.”

It might get annoying if they screamed, so I quickly gathered up some leaves on the ground and stuffed them in its mouth..

And then I saw Amelia.

“What on earth are you doing??”

Although we had no choice but to join in, what we just did was tantamount to plunder..

If this spreads to the city, we will definitely be in a very difficult situation..

“Tell me. Why did you suddenly do this? so that I can understand.”

When I looked at her as if to give her a chance to explain, Amelia avoided my gaze..

“……Since I had no weapons, I just attacked first before it became a disadvantage..”

It was absurd..

“Don’t you usually think about solving it through conversation first??”

“I decided that they weren't the type of people who would do that..”

It feels like I'm talking to a wall.

Huh, did everyone who met me feel this way too??

For some reason, when I'm with him, I keep looking back at my past self..

‘This guy knows what he's like.’

At this point, we stopped the conversation and took a deep breath, and Amelia spoke as if comforting us..

“Don't worry. 'Cause what you think will never happen.”

“What does it mean??”

“check your backpack.”

I don't know what it means, but I did as I was told and opened their expandable backpack..

The first thing I saw was jerky for a snack..

I thought I was going to die of hunger already..

Still, has the food problem been solved??

Crunch, crunch.

After putting the beef jerky in my mouth, I searched the bag..

And soon I noticed something strange..

‘What are you guys… … . I wasn't part of the clan.?’

The backpack was full of various equipment..

It was difficult to consider it as emergency equipment..

Not only were there many different types, but most of the weapons had blood on them..

“These guys… … He was a looter..”

So the clan mark is for camouflage??

That doesn't mean it looks familiar in some way.…….

‘where did i see this?’

As I was reflecting on the memory, it immediately came to mind..

“……clan elvis.”

It was a clan I saw while reading a book at the library a while ago..

It was a place where dozens of people gathered to commit brutal crimes, and eventually their actions were discovered and all were executed..

If I remember correctly,

Apparently about 15 years ago.

‘No sane bastard would carry around a forged clan emblem like that, even if they were disguised.…….’

I felt something very uncomfortable.

and at that moment.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!

The cold night sea breeze blew and swept across my spine..

‘No, wait a minute.…….’

I quickly opened my backpack and checked the identification cards I had seen earlier, and then I froze in a daze..

“This is crazy…….”

ID card with various names, races, and ages.

They had only one thing in common.

“The renewal date is 134 years ago.……?”

For some reason, the date was written 20 years ago..
