Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 343
343angry comeback (2)
I ran countless simulations before coming to the round table..
Isn’t that why a gap of 2 years and 6 months suddenly appeared? It was clear that the members were also having doubts about my absence..
‘Perhaps some people will come to the truth that I am Bjorn Jandel through the fact that the disappearance times are the same..’
Of course, I'm not too worried about this part..
The only people who know that I came back alive are Amelia and Erwen..
Just showing your face at the round table can put those doubts to rest..
The problem is later, after I announce my return.…….
‘Well, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way..’
There are other important parts right now..
How can I explain my gap of 2 years and 6 months?.
Because of this, I ran the simulation, assumed various situations, and quickly came to a conclusion..
“investigator…….”
“…It was really alive..”
Even if they look at me with astonishment and doubt,.
There's really no need to explain.
“Aren't you going to get out of the way??”
“ah… yes……!”
When I spat, the clown standing in front of the door trembled and retreated towards the wall..
This is the same with Soul Queens..
Of course, she was much better than the completely clueless clown..
“…The investigator is still the same.?”
He opens a path to the side and observes me with interest. That relaxed voice made me uncomfortable, but I didn't show it..
Just ignore it and pass by.
Tuk.
I just sit where I was sitting with indifference..
“…….”
“…….”
After that, there was a moment of silence that could only be described as strange. The members looked at me intently, but also glanced at each other..
It was obvious..
He probably wants someone to take the gun on his behalf and ask all kinds of questions..
‘Wow, it's been a while..’
Is it because I haven't been able to pray at home recently and have been hiding??
A sense of freedom that almost becomes addictive comes flooding in..
A few more seconds passed without a word..
Cooung-!
Among the doors connected to the round table, the open doors closed with a sound..
3This means that admission time has ended after 10 minutes..
In other words, it also means that it is now okay to start the meeting..
thus…….
“Are you going to keep standing??”
I said while watching Clown and Soul Queens.
“sit down.”
I have a lot to hear from you guys..
I have a lot to tell you.
***
“Fishit, I looked embarrassed..”
The clown who was dazedly hanging on the wall came to his senses and sat down..
And looked at me with eyes that did not hide their joy.
“We sincerely welcome your return, Detective..”
What do you say, this bastard?.
Have you forgotten what I told you last time not to act friendly??
Well, it could be possible in 2 years and 6 months..
“…….”
I just chewed it without replying, and the clown chewed it into pieces as if he knew that would happen..
“reason.”
The next thing that opened its mouth after the clown was the deer antler..
“2You haven't seen your face in over a year, so why did you show up now??”
He, who often showed a macho appearance, jumped up from his seat and straight-up asked me a question..
Of course, what I would say in response was decided..
“well.”
“Are you saying you won't answer??”
The tone of Deerhorn's voice rose slightly as he saw me exercising my right to remain silent. I think this is exactly what people from the royal family used to say when interrogating someone.…….
It was such a pity for me..
2I left because I was away for 6 months..
“It's unpleasant.”
I spoke as coldly as possible.
and…….
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
I slowly improved my life.
Since I returned after a long time, I decided that I needed to regain my discipline at least once..
“…Pfft.”
He clenched his fists as if the exposed deer antlers were in pain. It seemed like I was ready to listen at this level, but I wasn't satisfied and continued to talk about my life..
“never.”
As soon as he said those words, blood appeared on Deer Antler's neck..
It was better than the clown that wriggled on the floor like a bug, but it wasn't much different from the deer antlers..
“don't look down on me.”
As soon as he unleashed his life force with all his might, the deer antler's body slowly bent..
As if something was weighing down on my shoulders..
I said with satisfaction as I looked at the deer antler staring at me with a tired face..
“yes, like that.”
Before I knew it, Deer Antler was looking up at me with his knees on the ground..
I think the trembling of my arms on the table to support my body is slowly reaching its limit.…….
Actually, this was the same for me too..
‘Oh my head.’
The moment I felt pain in my head, the life that had been weighing down my intestines suddenly disappeared..
And at the same time.
“…Huh up!”
Deer Antler took a deep breath that he had been holding..
The clown sneered at that sight..
“…Pisit, you foolish and foolish human being. Have you forgotten what to do when you want to ask Mr. Susa??”
“…….”
“Bring something fun! It's fun!”
The clown glanced at me while saying that..
It's like, 'Really?' A look that seems to be asking and hoping for a compliment.
Of course, this time I just ignored it and pretended not to see it..
And how long has it passed?.
“investigator.”
A man's voice ended the silence..
It was a crescent moon.
This person is presumed to be from the fairy tribe, and desires the 'Stone of Revival' more than anyone else at the Round Table..
“It doesn't matter what you've been doing.”
He spoke to me, swallowing all the anxiety and doubts he must have had for over two years..
“Thank you for coming back now.”
Just the standard reaction I was hoping for.
But now that I say that, I feel a bit sorry. This guy must have been in a lot of trouble while I was gone..
‘Should I give you a clue this time??’
This was the car I was thinking about..
“Hmm, I guess it's all sorted out now.?”
Soul Queens opened their mouths in a cheerful voice as if to change the calm atmosphere..
“Well then, shall we get started? For some reason, I feel like we will have a lot to say to each other at today's meeting..”
That's how the rally began.
***
The process of deciding the turn was short..
“Then Mr. Fox is first.?”
“…That's it..”
The order is clockwise as always..
However, in the end, I will be in the position.
“Why are you sitting here?…….”
It was a tacit agreement that existed since ancient times..
First, information is brought out, I listen to it, evaluate it, and then spit out the corresponding information..
Because that was the usual round table..
“…I haven't prepared anything special today, so I'll just bring up what I originally wanted to talk about here..”
Soon, the fox was the first to spit out information..
It was quite an interesting story from the beginning..
“The Dragon Slayer, who had been inactive since the kidnapping of the High Priest about three years ago, has reappeared for the first time on the Dark Continent. According to eyewitness testimony, he appeared much stronger than before, and the 'dragon's curse' seemed to have been resolved to some extent..”
The current state of the dragon slayer that I had forgotten about for a while..
‘Remove the dragon's curse…….’
It's an unfortunate story after a long time, but I decided not to get too caught up in it..
Because being able to use verbs doesn’t change anything..
I am no longer the same person I used to be..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The jewel on the round table emits green light, indicating that the first turn has been completed safely..
But then.
“Fishit, Mr. Fox is smart too..”
The clown giggled and talked to the fox..
“…what does it mean?”
“Isn’t that what you were originally trying to talk about here? I can guess your identity..”
“…….”
“Looking at Deer Antler, it seems like the royal family hasn't heard of the news yet. Did you happen to meet him in person??”
“I won't answer any personal questions..”
“Well, go ahead. You can just ask that young salamander later who he met in the labyrinth..”
The fox kept his mouth shut as if he was offended by the clown's unmannered behavior, and naturally moved on to the next character..
“Now it's my turn... army.”
This time it was deer antlers..
When he made eye contact with me before spitting out information, he averted his eyes with an awkward expression..
It looks like the lingering memories of my life from earlier remain strong..
However, perhaps because he was too proud to show it, he opened his mouth as if nothing had happened as best as he could..
“The royal family will soon issue a conscription order for titled nobles..”
As he spoke, Deerhorn's eyes were fixed on the clown. It seemed as if they wanted to check the reaction of Noark, the hostile camp..
but…….
“Fishit, do you think that would make me scared? Rather, it only seems like he was cornered to that extent.?”
The clown just sneered as usual, and the antlers did not respond to the provocation and their turn ended..
When the green light went out, the crescent moon next to me opened its mouth..
“Now it's my turn.”
I had high expectations because he had been providing information more passionately than anyone else since the stone of revival was thrown away.…….
“Unfortunately, I couldn't prepare anything special..”
He didn't expect my visit today, so he looked at me and laid the groundwork in advance. He seemed worried that I might be disappointed and not come again next time.…….
“It's a story related to blood spirit..”
Surprisingly, some pretty interesting information came out of his mouth..
“A few weeks ago, the King of Blood took most of the support given to the fairies by the royal family, saying he needed money. The reason was not disclosed.”
In some ways, it was an incident that was close to a scandal within the tribe..
Soul Queens, who had been quietly listening, expressed doubts..
“Hey, but no matter how much of a blood spirit he is, is it possible for him to take that much money without even revealing the reason? If it were royal support, the amount would not be small.?”
“Of course it's unusual. However, the elders had nothing to do when they were told that if they did not give them money, they would sell the Shinmok Palace to someone else..”
“…They're selling a new wooden palace.?”
“It's a shame, but that's true. However, since it is said that it is money needed for something that must be used, I have no choice but to believe that there is some meaning to it that cannot be revealed..”
Other members could not hide their feelings of discomfort as Crescent Moon continued with his explanation..
“Fish, what on earth is that crazy woman planning??”
“If it's something that requires that much money from her, I can't help but think of it that way..”
“I don't know what it is, but it's going to be bloody again..”
For some reason, I felt very strange..
If they are like this, what is Erwen’s public image like?.
No, more than that…….
‘They told me not to worry because I had a lot of money, but it was all money that came from stealing from the tribe.……?’
The airway was not full.
I wondered where the capital to buy a mansion in one night came from, but I never thought something like this would have happened..
‘What happens if the fairies find out about this??’
If it were me, I think my whole world would fall apart.…….
As I was thinking about that, the goblin noticed me and opened his mouth..
“Well, then… Can I do it now??”
Ah, now it's his turn..
‘He was a paladin of the Leatlas Church.?’
Since I am the person whose identity I clearly know after the clown, I am a little curious about what information he will reveal.—
“The school has decided to have all forces except the 1st Holy Knights join the royal army..”
What, it's about war again?
Even though I felt disappointed, I ended up laughing..
‘Speaking of the main school, it looks like they have no intention of hiding it anymore. Or, your status has been completely open for 2 years..’
I kept my ears wide open while wondering what kind of conversation would have taken place at the round table while I was gone..
The short conversation about how Leatlas's actions would affect the future situation of the war was concluded and the next speaker was about to open his mouth..
“Fishit.”
This turn is none other than the clown.
“It's been a while since Mr. Susa came here, so what should I do if he keeps telling boring stories??”
The clown tilted his head exaggeratedly, then immediately changed his gaze and brought out information..
“Lee Baek-ho holds the stone of revival..”
…huh?
***
The ripple effect of the information the clown casually spit out was huge..
And it was the crescent moon that showed the most violent reaction..
He, who always had hatred in his eyes whenever he saw a clown, muttered, unable to hide his emotional agitation..
“Lee Baek-ho… The man who secretly issued an order to be killed by the royal family... … ? stone of revival……?”
Crescent Moon seemed surprised to hear the whereabouts of the Stone of Revival, but I was different..
‘Why does Baekho Lee suddenly appear?……?’
Not only was it such an unexpected name, but when did it become so famous in the first place?.
2Even a year ago, I felt like it was a name only known to people who called me ‘he’..
How on earth did you get the revival stone??
Even if you know the conditions for obtaining this, you will never be able to obtain it unless you are lucky.?
“How is it?”
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to blank out for long..
“As for the story about Lee Baek-ho, I brought it up because I thought it might be interesting to Mr..”
As soon as the green light went off, the clown subtly asked me what I thought, and after thinking for a moment, I answered..
“surely.”
It was more valuable than the information I heard before..
Because I was more curious about this than the war-related stories..
But it would be strange to admire it too much.
“not bad.”
I expressed my feelings just enough to not go overboard..
Isn’t there a need for reviews like this to keep asking for information like this in the future?.
‘When I go back later, I'll have to ask Erwen if she knows anything about Baekho Lee..’
I kept this part short and looked straight ahead..
“Clown, what you just said is true.?”
“Don't you know it when you see it??”
“Joe, a little more detail would be good.—”
“Fish, I don't like it.?”
“…….”
Crescent Moon, who quickly became Eul, was being insulted by the clown..
It was a pity, but there was nothing I could do..
This is the first time I heard that Lee Baek-ho has the Stone of Revival..
‘Well, this makes it inconvenient to use the Revival Stone as information... … . What information will I bring out later??’
While I was quietly watching the situation and thinking about what information to reveal next, the Soul Queens applauded and attracted attention..
and…….
“Okay, now it's my turn.?”
Among the numerous members, looking directly at me.
He opened his mouth in an alluring voice..
“The investigator has no record of accessing Ghostbusters for 2 years and 6 months..”
“…….”
“Where have you been disappearing all this time??”
haha…….
***
15When things happen, members of the community are forcibly brought to this spiritual world..
Well, there is a way to log out as soon as you come in.…….
“What do you mean, there is no log in??”
“That's literally it. There is no access record at all..”
It is strange in many ways that the login history has disappeared altogether..
They probably confirmed this through GM..
“So I thought he was definitely dead.…….”
Beyond mere death, this woman would have confirmed that I was Bjorn Jandel..
Because I was the only famous person to die during that time..
But did you sense something contradictory in Soul Queens’ words??
The goblin blurted out a question..
“Lord, are you saying he’s dead? Didn't the queen always wait for Mr. Suja??”
“No, what I was waiting for was the Master. The person who created this round table. I visited regularly to see if I would come again..”
“ah…….”
The goblin was convinced, and everyone's eyes focused on me..
It was clear what I wanted..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Since the round table gave me the green light, it must be true that I haven't logged in for two and a half years..
You're probably hoping for an explanation to come out of my mouth..
“Oh, are you trying to avoid answering as expected? Well, this may not have been interesting information to the investigator.—”
I said, cutting off her provocation..
“You're bold.”
“So is there any reason to be afraid??”
Her face looked relaxed as she looked into my eyes..
Even if the deer's antlers are spewing out deadly force that cannot be moved, it is as if there is a way to respond..
“That's fun.”
“Oh, so are you telling me? What happened?.”
I glanced at the jewel that had already lost its luster and answered..
“Now it's my turn.”
“Is this because you ignore it??”
“well.”
It's not ignoring.
To be exact, it's just corporal punishment.
“Magician, Jurben Havellion.”
In order to protect the investigator's authority in the future, it was necessary to properly inform her..
Even if it is not suppression using ‘life’.
“That's GM's name..”
Those who dare to rebel will be punished.
