Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 348
348angry seclusion (3)
Everyone has a plan.
There's no guarantee it'll work out.
Amelia was like that too..
“…There was an organization that I had always kept an eye on. These are the people who disguised themselves as aid stations to collect opium and then sold it at a high price in the shadows... Originally, I was planning on robbing them to raise some cash..”
“however?”
“…While tracking down their base, the Public Security Agency came in..”
I had nothing to say.
Should I say this is really like him?…….
Still, I'm glad it's much more wholesome than trying to rob a bank.?
As I was laughing, Amelia quietly apologized..
“…This is my mistake, so I will do something about it..”
What do you say, this guy.
I said stubbornly.
“done. Why do you solve it on your own??”
If this thing hadn't been extended in the first place, it would have been disintegrated a long time ago, and Amelia has about half a share in this thing..
That's because I was party hunting when it was dropped..
Above all, it's a bit funny to hold the person who saved the money to purchase the essence of Vol-Herchan responsible for this..
“Money problems are solved together. Do you understand??”
“…Because I'm a colleague?”
Oh, he knows how to say things like this.
“Yes, because we are colleagues. When a problem arises, it is not about who is to blame, but rather finding a way to solve it together..”
“…i get it.”
In that sense, we discussed measures from now on..
It was a difficult amount to raise in two months through normal means, but there was no answer at all..
2This is because the stocks I bought six months ago paid off..
“Borrowing money from that fairy... … . Certainly, it would be possible if you had enough money to purchase a mansion like this. But is it okay??”
“huh? Are you okay??”
“That fairy must be one of your companions..”
“Hehehe…….”
He also stabbed me in a very painful spot..
“Amelia, I think you don't know something because you've been alone for a long time, but colleagues help each other when they're having a hard time. Do you understand??”
“indeed… Is that how you treat your colleagues?.”
No, who says they only receive it??
Shouldn’t I just pay it back with interest?.
“Anyway, enough of this issue, let's talk about something else..”
“I decided it was a bad situation..”
“…huh?”
“is not it? I remember it was like that usually when changing the topic..”
uh…….
It was so straightforward that there was nothing to refute..
“…….”
But was his personality like this originally??
Why do you keep making fun of me??
“Okay, just say what you wanted to say, Yandel..”
Seeing as he didn't give me a chance to argue, it seems clear that he was teasing me intentionally.…….
I just had a bad feeling, so I just skipped it for now..
Because there were more important issues..
“Oh, nothing special, I was just trying to talk about how I should introduce you to Erwen..”
Being able to intuit team kills is a must..
***
Tap, tap, tap..
As I was tapping the table at a steady beat, Amelia clicked her tongue..
“It's crazy, so calm down.”
“…….”
“Is that fairy that scary??”
“Who, who are you afraid of? How well does Erwen listen to me?.”
I'm just a little nervous..
I told Erwen that I would take Amelia as my companion, but can one's impulses always be controlled??
I don't want to see Amelia explode again..
Even more so if it is not an alter ego but the main body..
Tick, tick.
As time passed, I started to feel hungry..
Crash.
I heard the gate in the yard closing..
It means that Erwen has returned home..
You probably have both hands full of food for dinner today..
plod, trudge.
The unique light footsteps of a fairy passing through the yard quickly got closer..
and…….
Tuk.
stopped in front of the front door.
It was a little strange.
There was definitely a rattling sound and the doorknob turned, but why didn't the door open? Why did the humming sound that seemed to be excited somewhere stop??
The moment I felt that question.
“open door.”
Erwen muttered quietly..
“…woman smell.”
With that one word, I immediately stood up..
Because I had a feeling that if I just held the surprise event I had prepared, it would be a disaster..
“…Hey, Erwen! Did you come?!”
I quickly went out to meet you at the front door, and Erwen ignored my greeting and glanced around the inside of the house..
And then he fixed his gaze on Amelia who was inside..
“Amelia Lane Wales.”
“It's been a while, Hyeolryeonghu. Is this your first time seeing this in the city??”
“…how are you here.”
“I was followed when I stopped by the bank. Although secret magic has increased, it seems that it is not used often in real life. It would be better to be more alert in the future. 'Cause you're not the only one living in this house.”
Erwen muttered briefly in response to Amelia's answer..
“…Should I kill him??”
“Hey Erwen……?”
“Oh, I'm sorry. That I only think in my mind.”
“uh… Is that so? Yeah, that could happen. first… Let's sit over there. We'll be together from now on, but we can't be so awkward, right?.”
“all right.”
Surprisingly, Erwen calmed down quickly and sat down at the table as I asked. And she spoke first in a casual voice.
“All you have to do is get along well with this woman from now on.?”
“Call her by her name, not this woman..”
“Then I'll use the last name. Lane Wales, right??”
“right. I call you Tercia too..”
“yes.”
Erwen gave a short answer and the conversation ended there..
It was my turn to step forward..
“Erwen, as I said last time, Amelia will now move with us..”
“What about the identity issue??”
“No need to worry about that part. I got something suitable while waiting for Yandel to come back..”
“…Why didn't you tell me sooner that you were alive?.”
“You're asking a pathetic question. How can I trust you and say that?”
“what? We've been together for about half a year at most..”
“Hmm, I understand that the period you were in the labyrinth with Yandel was less than half a year.?”
No, why are you talking to me without me again?.
“Come on, everyone, calm down..”
I quickly intervened in the conversation again..
“I don't know exactly what happened between you all this time, but it all happened because of a misunderstanding, so why don't you just resolve it here and there??”
While saying that, I gave Amelia a signal with a glance. It meant that instead of being harsh, you should slowly lose..
but…….
“Well, I don't have any grudges. Thanks to that, even though my legs were blown off the 6th floor, I couldn't swim, and I had to hold on to a board for three days, I survived in the end..”
Okay, so there was a reason to be grumpy..
“…I wondered how he escaped on the boat with that body..”
“Erwen.”
“…Do not worry. I don't have any big grudges either. It's just that the body of an explorer from Noark, who went through all the trouble, was taken away right before my eyes. Oh, should I include the one where I followed him and got my arm cut??”
“But I didn't kill him.”
“You talk as if you could have done it. He ran away as soon as our support arrived..”
“what… Because the purpose has been achieved. My financial situation was tight, but thanks to selling that equipment, I was able to get this dagger here..”
Okay, let's give up on being friendly..
There's no reason for colleagues to get along with each other.?
I ended the conversation with a smile..
“Haha, they're fighting over something that really doesn't matter! Now, let’s shake hands and make up..”
A person who smiles at any time is the best.
***
After Erwen and Amelia shook hands with rotten expressions, I moved on to the next item on the agenda..
Like a barbarian warrior, straight forward.
“Erwen, can you lend me some money??”
“Why money?……?”
I confessed the story about the Demon Crusher, and Erwen's expression hardened..
“So, what I'm saying is that I want this woman to make up for the money she spent on purifying water with my own money.?”
“You could see it that way……?”
“…Sorry, but I think that might be a bit difficult..”
“…huh?”
“Don't get me wrong. It's not because I don't like it..”
If not, what is it??
When Erwen looked at me like that, he muttered quietly as if he had committed a crime..
“now… I don't have much money... … . Really.”
Ah, indeed…….
Come to think of it, I heard that this house was only bought with the money that was extorted from the tribal leader by threatening him..
Still, I thought I'd ask just in case..
“Then, borrowing money using this house as collateral??”
I felt like trash myself, but what can I do?.
We need to prepare for the worst case scenario..
“…This, this house? Chu, it’s a place filled with memories.…….”
“Don’t you just have to pay it back on time?.”
“Yandel, you really—”
“Don't say anything to him. It's because of you, it's shameless.”
“what……?”
“So, you get it, right? Don't be sorry, man. Is it your house… You can get a new one later…….”
That's why my hands are shaking so much…….
“…I feel sorry.”
“Don't say things like that, it's for you..”
Anyway, it was decided that the Demon Crusher would be recovered by using the collateral rotation technique..
So, it's time to make your next plan..
“Whatever you do next, you'll need to secure funds first..”
“yes. If you want to enter the labyrinth again, you will have to adjust your equipment again. If you have money... I can protect this house too.…….”
“Wait a minute, a labyrinth? Now he is falsely accused of being an evil spirit... It must be urgent to take it off first.?”
Oh, that…….
“There's something a little suspicious, so I'm thinking of putting it off for a while..”
While I was leaving, I told her about the questions and concerns I had, and Amelia nodded in agreement..
It seemed like he himself felt suspicious..
“Anyway, so Amelia, I need you to find me some suitable identity..”
“Finding your identity is not difficult, but in the end, it will mean covering the sky with both hands. Even though more than two years have passed since your death, there are quite a few people who remember you..”
To interpret it, it means that there is a high possibility that your identity will be revealed with something like an iron helmet..
Because this isn't the era of 20 years ago when there was no connection..
Even if you just use the word [giant], people will think of Bjorn Yandel first..
“Hmm, I think everything will work out if I just be careful in the labyrinth.…….”
“Even if you don't know once or twice, if the period of time increases, there will definitely be someone who will recognize you.—”
“Wait, how about drinking purified water??”
Erwen interrupted, interrupting the conversation..
“essence?”
“Just like Einar ate. There is also an integer that reduces height. If I just shorten my height and introduce myself as a human, I don't think anyone would notice.…….”
Even as he said that, Erwen noticed Amelia’s gaze. She seemed to be wary of what she said, fearing that she might find something to blame..
but…….
“Surely, we won't know in a month or two. If you're planning on hiding for a long time, it's much safer that way..”
Contrary to expectations, Amelia acknowledged Erwen's idea and even praised it..
But maybe that was a bit unfamiliar??
“I came up with a pretty cool solution..”
“…Because it's about you..”
Erwen responded coldly and turned his head..
It's a sight that warms the viewer, but I had no choice but to intervene..
“excuse me…….”
I'm really sorry for suddenly saying this..
“I have no room for purified water..”
7There's still a long way to go to level.
There is no essence to erase.
Amelia burst out laughing as soon as she could explain this situation..
“manticore.”
“……?”
“I remember saying that it was definitely an essence that would have to be erased someday..”
…I'm going to pull out my jump key and go?
