Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 312
312hwa heritage (1)
7A high-end restaurant with a well-known name in the area..
It was a place Arua Raven visited to meet up with her clan members after a long time..
Of course, this was my first visit..
If you set a meeting place at a place you often go to, you'll only get more depressed thinking about this and that..
“Are you not going to place an order??”
“We're not there yet.”
When Raven answered briefly, Abman looked somewhat uncomfortable..
When there was such an awkward atmosphere.
“No, it's all right..”
Einar opened his mouth..
“……Misha said he wasn't coming. She was hoping that maybe she would change her mind later and come, but if she didn't come by now, she probably wouldn't come..”
“……okay. So these three people are all..”
Raven sighed unconsciously..
Then, similar sighs came out one after another from the side..
Actually, it was probably the same for everyone..
“Raven.”
“Please speak. Mr. Urikfried.”
“however… What happened to Erwen? I contacted you?”
“First of all, I sent the mail. Settlement from the last expedition, and Mr. Yandel... … I need to talk about my inheritance, so come..”
Of course, I only contacted them to protect Dory, and I didn't expect that the fairy would come here..
Because he left like that at the end.
“Did you get a reply??”
“No, I didn't come. So, once the settlement is complete, I'm just going to send it by mail..”
“……Right.”
“Anyway, the fairy is gone, and I never expected Misha to be absent as well. I didn't know this. I thought you would definitely come since you are the most important person on this matter..”
Raven sighed and looked at Einar..
And I asked carefully.
“……How about Misha? she is doing well?”
Raven was truly worried about her..
That's because the last time I saw it was during a funeral procession held by the royal family. At that time, the distance was far away and I wasn't in the mood to talk, so I couldn't even speak properly..
So, what is her condition like?.
“……Is there any way we can get along well? I stay in my room all day and don't even eat properly. One time I force-fed him and he vomited..”
“okay…….”
“So these days, I don't go home often. Because it seems like they feel more uncomfortable when I'm there.”
“Then, Mr. Einar, where are you staying now??”
“I am staying in a sacred place. Still, Misha seems to eat the bare minimum when I'm not around. So she just bought a bunch of food and kept it at home..”
“……If so, you're lucky..”
“Raven, what do you think? Is it okay if I leave Misha alone like this??”
“that…….”
Raven compared her own experience over the past month..
“First of all, I think not eating is a feeling of guilt. You know that? In the act of eating itself… … I feel that awkwardness…….”
Although she spoke gibberish, which was uncharacteristic of her, Einar and Abman nodded in understanding..
“Oh, that's right.”
“I think I know what you mean. But so?”
“……I don't know either. How should I help Mr. Misha? I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to give her some alone time, but I'm not sure if that's the right answer..”
“Well, I guess the answer is not you..”
Einar may not have said this with malicious intent, but Raven felt both frustrated and sad at the same time..
What Einar said was not wrong..
If he were there, I'm sure he would have done the right thing..
“Rather, let’s start by ordering. If I keep wasting time like this, I'll get kicked out..”
Abman, perhaps sensing something strange, changed the topic, and Raven also moved on from the heavy topic and chose food together..
“Oh, this is my first time at this restaurant and the food is very delicious. What are you all doing? without eating.”
“Ah yes…….”
After the food was served, we ate and talked, and then we started talking about work in earnest..
“There is no problem with settling the loot. All I had to do was divide everything I got that day into 5 equal parts. The problem is legacy... … . Have you guys seen Mr. Yandel’s will??”
“Ah, I saw it. There really wasn't anything other than writing down the proportions of what to do with the inheritance. Well, if he's like that guy, he's like that guy…….”
Abman trailed off and laughed..
And I asked the question very carefully..
“But isn’t it a bit strange??”
“That's strange?”
“I mean ratio. To be honest, I don't understand why he distributed the ratio in this way..”
“Oh, that one…….”
Raven nodded slightly with an expression of sympathy..
Of course, she was surprised at first too..
I could never have imagined that the inheritance would have been designated to go to five people, each with exactly 20%..
Of course, I expected most of the wealth to go to Mishana Einar..
But Bjorn Yandel wasn't like that..
We didn't set out exactly who to give what to, but only wrote down the proportion of the property, so we had to agree among ourselves on who would get what, but the proportions were kept the same..
And maybe that's why…….
“Watching you stop talking, I guess I have an inkling.?”
Raven smiled bitterly and replied.
“It's obvious. Why did Mr. Yandel do that?.”
That's what the clever barbarian warrior hoped for..
I hope we won't be disappointed with each other even after his death..
So, I hope that we will always be there for each other.
“……After all, I don’t think we can leave Misha like this..”
Yeah, he definitely wanted that..

Three days after going to the round table.
Amelia and I visited Yeongju Castle after a long time, fully equipped and equipped..
And I met a man at the meeting place..
“Nice to meet you. This is the iron mask?”
The nickname used in Noark is ‘Felic Barker’’.
Sister Lane Wales in her childhood was the leader of the clan to which she belonged as a 'herder'..
I think the total number of people was thirteen or so..
“nice to meet. It's an iron mask..”
‘There is also a nickname 'Bjorn, son of Thor', but the self-introduction is replaced with just a nickname..
There was no particular problem.
In this city, nicknames themselves are often used as nicknames..
“Don't go in.”
As I followed him into the clan house located within the lord's castle, the smell of alcohol was overwhelming..
Inside the hiply decorated interior, dark-looking clan members were sitting freely, drinking and smoking cigarettes..
This isn't some kind of criminal hideout..
“Would you like a drink??”
As I sat down on the sofa across from him, Felix Barker offered me a bottle of alcohol..
“Don't decline.”
Amelia sharply refused, and I just accepted the bottle..
Well, wouldn’t it be too weird if you didn’t drink both?.
First of all, we came here to join this clan. Refusing a drink in this city means they don't trust you.
thus…….
Clap.
Touch the seam, raise the helmet only at the chin, and then take a drink..
Then Felik Barker grinned..
“Good, good, I like it. Ah, but there is one thing I want to ask, is it okay??”
“Try it.”
“Why did you choose our clan??”
The answer is simple.
Because Sister Lane Wales belongs to this clan..
5This was the best way to remain attached most naturally when the incident occurred months later..
Well, I couldn't answer that way..
“Emily said you guys made the offer first.?”
“But if even half of what you're saying is true, there would be other good places out there..”
I took out the answer I had prepared in advance..
“I think it would be more convenient to have a clan, but if you go to a place like that, the ratio tends to be low..”
“If I'd rather have the claws of an ogre, I'd rather have the head of a troll..”
“Okay, is there a problem??”
Felik Barker looked at me as if he was checking my true intentions..
But there was no chance of success..
No, I put a steel helmet over my face, so I wonder if I can see properly?.
It was a time when I was thinking like that..
“hot! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The guy suddenly burst into laughter and his eyes lit up..
Unlike Auril Gavis, it was just laughable..
Should I say that it feels like a concept bug with a lot of wind in its lungs??
The voice also has a strange acting tone, so it’s annoying..
“good, very good.”
“What is good??”
“It means I like you guys more..”
“So did you pass??”
“No, not yet.”
Felix Barker said, waving his finger leisurely, pretending to be some kind of mafia boss..
“Because we have a merit system. There are three levels within the clan, excluding mine, and your share when going on an expedition is determined based on your level. And we don't know what you're good at yet.”
“……?”
“Have you ever heard of the saying, “The law of the jungle?”?”
“I heard it.”
“Then the story will be faster. If you want the troll's head, take it. And prove it. The place where you stand is that kind of world—”
Ah, I wondered what he was talking about..
“good night.”
“huh……?”
“Shouldn’t we check whether the rumor is true or not?.”
“By the way…….”
“So that's it. Why is there so much talk??”
When I jumped up from my seat, Felix Barker looked up at me with puzzled eyes..
Well, did you think I would be scared if I said it while I was in form??
Normally, you should skip these job events quickly..
“Okay, just say something quickly. Is it okay if I kill you??”
“……Battles are only possible between members. And it means killing me—”
Ah, what is this bland?.
“Then who can I kill??”
While saying that, I glanced at the clan members around me..
Then, a large person who made eye contact flinched..
“Just looking at him, I guess he was my opponent..”
“That's right. But just because it's a contest doesn't mean you have to kill it.—”
What are you saying, you keep making noise?.
As I walked forward with murderous intent, the large figure, pushed by the momentum, stepped back and glanced at Felix Barker..
The unique perspective of someone who hopes for salvation.
Soon Felix Barker came to his senses and said to me:.
“Now, wait! There's a vacant lot behind there..”
“Ah, then let’s move there..”
“Oh, and it's forbidden to use special abilities during a skirmish..”
Huh, I never thought there would be a rule banning the use of skills..
This means that you should only fight with passive and bad stats..
Is this Noark, the world of real men??
“They say I should be killed without using my supernatural abilities... … . Well, I guess it won't be that difficult..”
After thinking for a moment, I willingly accepted the rules..
But what is this again?.
Felik Barker answered in a voice like an ant crawling..
“Hanema wanted to prevent anyone from dying as much as possible.…….”
I was truly surprised..
“Then you can't get promoted?!”
“……All you have to do is surrender.”
“what? You can get promoted even if you don't kill them?”
Bloody promotion battles were not the rule of this underground world.?
Besides, I said earlier that it is a diet of jungles.?
“What happened? Does this make sense??”
I looked at him like I genuinely didn't understand..
Coincidentally, he also had similar eyes..
“you… … Didn't he say he's only been in Noark for a month??”
“however?”
“Nope…….”
It was Felix Barker who averted his eyes first..
* * *
A dark room with the windows covered with thick cloth.
Misha Karlstein stood up with bulging eyes and thought..
Another day has begun.
She slightly opened the curtains to check that it was daytime and then lay down on the bed again..
Sleep did not come again, and my unwashed body was covered in sweat from last night's nightmare..
And I was so hungry that I felt sick..
To the point of bitterness.
“…….”
Misha came out of the room with a haggard body..
And he stopped in front of Yandel's room, which hadn't been touched since that day. It feels like if you open the door and go in, the person waiting inside will be sleeping..
However, in the end, she couldn't open the door again today..
plod.
She turned her back helplessly and went down the stairs to the first floor..
2Like the first floor, the first floor was dark..
This was because curtains were drawn on all the windows because people came to visit hoping to leave flowers behind..
Misha muttered in a dry voice..
“Again, you came, you went.…….”
1On the dining table on the second floor, there was a note written in crooked letters by Einar, telling people to check that the grocery box had been filled..
rattly.
Misha checked the grocery box..
Rye bread and vegetables often used in cooking.
And meat and fruits.
Most of it was filled with things she had eaten well before..
but…….
“Woo-eup.”
Just looking at it makes me nauseous..
can't even smell.
Rye bread was Bjorn's favorite..
Not to mention meat.
Since Bjorn is a picky eater, I always bought plenty of vegetables, and since there were leftovers every day, I had no choice but to eat them often..
In the end, Misha closed the grocery box as if he was running away..
But she knew it herself.
Still need to eat.
Because if you don’t eat, your body will break down..
Yandel wouldn't have wanted that..
“Bjorn…….”
dark kitchen with lights off.
She collapsed into a chair and sobbed for a while, then got up again and went to the grocery box..
It was that moment.
“Oh, you were there? I thought there was no one there.”
I heard an unfamiliar man's voice behind me..
‘thief?’
Misha turned back, grabbing the knife that was on the cutting board. Her movements were so agile that it could not be said that she was a person who was in trouble..
but…….
“Whoa, dangerous..”
The gunman easily grabbed her by the wrist holding the knife and subdued her..
I tried to force it, but it was so strong that it didn't budge..
“It's been a while since I met you, but you can't start swinging a sword?”
“Long time no see……?”
Misha unconsciously looked up and checked the face of the assailant..
It was dark so I couldn't see well.
But it felt familiar somehow..
Race is human.
The skin is as white as snow, and as if it has grown beautifully, there is not a single scar visible. White blonde hair, a symbol of nobility, is well-groomed and slicked back..
And above all…….
[Red cat, are you a player??]
[Yes? Ph, Freya?]
[Is it an evil spirit?.]
[Ah, ah, no.……?]
Unique light yet creepy tone of voice.
Thanks to you, my memory of this man immediately came back to me..
“You, at that time……!”
“I guess you remembered? My name is Baekho Lee. I'll let this go, so just be quiet.”
“…….”
The man who said the strange name Lee Baek-ho released his arm as promised..
Misha stepped back, wrapping his sore wrist..
Then the platinum-haired man smiled as if to reassure him..
“Don't be too guarded.”
Goosebumps spread all the way down my spine..
Unlike the long curved corners of the mouth.
“I just came because I wanted to ask you something..”
The eyes weren't smiling at all.
