Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 442
442angry giant step (4)
When I opened my eyes again, it was the middle of the night, and I decided that there was nothing to do if I woke up now, so I went back to sleep..
So I thought I slept for a total of two days.…….
“……I slept for three days?”
At first I thought Amelia was joking..
Even though I slept for three days, my body was still tired. To be honest, I forced myself to get up because I wanted to sleep more.…….
‘But really, three days have passed?.’
“Still, I'm glad I woke up now. If he didn't wake up today, I was going to force him to wake up. I'm sick of trying to stop fairies from making a fuss..”
“……So where is Erwen??”
“go out for a bit.”
“outing?”
“They said they were going to a holy place. It seems like it doesn't tie as easily as I thought..”
The subject was missing, but there was no need to ask what was being said..
It's definitely a story about leaving the pureblood group..
As much as I received support from the fairy clan while I was away, I will have to give up a lot to be free again like before..
A representative example is ‘Sinmokgung’..
Or, the funds used to purchase this mansion that were forcibly torn down by holding Shinmokgung hostage..
‘……Well, the real problem is the ‘pure blood’ itself..’
The 'pure blood' of fairies is a kind of race secret..
Only one person can receive the inheritance at the time, and the successor's 'Nature Affinity' stat will skyrocket. It was thanks to him that Erwen was able to make a contract with the Spirit King..
‘This problem needs to be resolved quickly. Because it makes no sense to leave Erwen to handle it alone..’
The time I spent sleeping is once again becoming a waste..
It hasn't even been a month since I barely survived the ice rock and returned, but there was no time to waste resting..
but…….
Growling-!
“…I have something in the kitchen, so go check it out..”
Okay, let’s eat first..
***
After filling my stomach after three days of starvation, the first thing I did was clean up..
Lee Baek-ho, GM, Hyeonbyeol, Ragna Auril Gavis, and countless other information obtained from the round table.…….
After asking for Amelia's understanding, I stayed in my room and gathered my thoughts for a while..
‘under… My head is really going to explode.’
I feel like I went back to being a student before the opening ceremony..
I've been pushed back with homework, but I don't know what to do first. So he just sorted out his priorities like he would when playing a game..
what should i do next.
‘……It’s better because it’s organized like a quest..’
I felt a bit refreshed after being forced to assign rankings as if it were an ideal world cup..
So, the quest you need to do right now is…….
“Amelia, how was the clan founded??”
Finalizing Clan Creation.
“The document review ended yesterday, so all you have to do is visit in person and finally put your name on the list..”
Actually, I thought about reviving my old clan, but since it was disbanded after I was known to have died, the administrative procedures were complicated, so I decided to create a new one..
It was a bit disappointing.
In the case of a clan, there is an advantage in having a slightly older creation date..
‘Well, I guess I can stamp this part with a noble title later.?’
‘Negotiation’ with guilds is one of the areas I am confident in..
I soon changed my clothes and was about to leave to take care of today's schedule, but Amelia followed me after putting on her coat..
“To go together?”
“That would be better. Because I handled most of the administrative procedures..”
Well, if we go together, we'll miss out less..
Tsk, these parts were originally done by Raven..
‘It'll take a while to get a kid from the military..’
Of course, that doesn't mean I've given up..
The most important thing is Raven's doctor..
“for a moment.”
“huh?”
“Use this. If I just leave, there will be an uproar..”
“ah…….”
Afterwards, I put the iron helmet that Amelia brought me on my head and went out..
“It's been a while. The two of you going out during the day like this ”
Um, I see.?
Well, when I think about it, I think the last time I went to an art museum was after purchasing ‘Bol-Herchan’ essence at an auction house..
After returning to the present era, it was not a situation where I could roam around freely..
“Oh, there it is..”
Since the house itself was located in the city center, it didn't take long to walk to the guild branch..
Like other explorers, we took a number and waited, and when our turn came, we presented our ID cards..
and…….
“Rain, rain, rain, rain... … . Hmm!”
As soon as he saw my ID, the staff member got excited and moved me to a private reception room on the second floor. The branch manager came out in a huff and personally completed the remaining administrative procedures..
something felt strange.
Leader, Bjorn Yandel.
Vice leader, vacant position.
unit, vacancy
Unit, Emily Raines.
Unit, Einar Pnellin.
Unit, Auyen Rocklob.
A list that meets the minimum number of people required for creation.
For reference, in Erwen's case, the issue of leaving the 'pureblood group' has not yet been resolved, so she was unable to join the clan..
“Please visit again next time.!”
After receiving a warm welcome from the branch leader, we left the guild and headed to a nearby restaurant..
I've been starving for three days and I'm already hungry..
“Amelia.”
“From the outside, it would have been called Emily..”
Oh, I did..
Maybe it's because I'm hungry, but I'm out of my mind..
“So what did you want to say??”
“Oh, it's nothing special, I'm just curious. Why did you ask me to leave unit number 1 empty??”
I left it blank for now, but I haven't received any explanation yet..
Why did it happen??
“Sometimes everything gets ruined because of impatience..”
“…huh?”
“Later, after you withdraw, tell them that you left the seat empty on purpose. Then the fairy will become a little calmer too..”
“uh…….”
What did I just hear??
“…I left it for Erwen.?”
When I asked, unable to hide my astonishment, Amelia averted her gaze with a somewhat shameful look in her eyes..
and…….
“……Because it seemed like he was upset.”
He muttered quietly and changed the subject..
“Rather, the clan name.”
“huh?”
“Is there any other reason why it was built that way? I looked into it and it turned out to be a famous ancient word, meaning a group of wild beasts..”
As expected, as soon as you heard it, you thought of ancient language first..
Once this happens, is it a success??
After thinking for a while, I told Amelia the truth..
I don't want anyone to hear it, so I invite them closer..
“Actually, it's not an ancient language, it's Korean..”
As I whispered in her ear, Amelia, who was shaking her shoulders as if embarrassed, quietly asked back..
“korean… … ? Are you sure it's from your home country??”
“okay.”
I nodded and while I was leaving, I also explained the meaning..
“The spirit of working hard together with one heart and one mind for a better future.”
“……Hoo?”
“That's the meaning of 'Anavada'.”
For your information, it was planned to become our clan's creed for the time being..
I really can't afford it.
***
After finishing the meal, Amelia left, saying she had some business to do..
It was obvious where I was going..
I guess I'm going to go to where my sister works today and take a peek at her profile..
Without even daring to try to talk to you.
‘……Well, I have nothing to say if you are satisfied with it..’
Anyway, today's quest is over, but I walked somewhere else instead of home..
A thing to do… No, it's because there was something I wanted to do..
rattle!
As you open the door to the store and enter, a reasonably half-full restaurant appears..
2The first floor doubles as an inn, and it serves food during the day and alcohol at night, serving as a bar..
“welcome! Did you come alone??”
As I opened the door and entered, a fresh-looking waitress in her early 20s smiled brightly and led me to a table..
“What kind of meal should I prepare for you??”
“I'd like something with a lot of meat, please. After walking for a while, I was already hungry..”
“Yes, just wait a moment.—”
“Wait a minute, isn't the owner coming out today??”
“Oh, my wife said the priest told me to be careful. You don’t go to work these days..”
……Well, did it hurt somewhere??
I was a little worried, but decided to correct the misunderstanding first..
“What I was asking was not the female leader, but the man..”
“ah! Mr. Urikfrit will be leaving for work soon. In about 30 minutes? I'm not sure because it's jagged every time.!”
Okay, so you can just wait and see..
“thank you for your answer.”
In return for taking my time, I even gave him a tip and sat at the table to kill time. And by the time I finished eating the dishes I ordered and ordered new dishes,.
rattle!
The door opened and the person who had been waiting arrived..
“Are you here? Mr. Urikfried!”
“Yeah, there was no work.?”
“An acquaintance came..”
“…friend?”
Mr. Bear, who was talking to the employee, tilted his head and glanced around the inside of the store, and as soon as his eyes met mine, he froze like a stone..
However, did you soon understand the situation??
“Myla, stop accepting guests from now on. The guests were sent away as soon as the meal was over..”
“…yes?”
“Oh, and after all the customers are gone, you should leave work with the chef..”
“Ugh?”
“If possible, don't let people come to my table..”
Mr. Bear, who quickly gave instructions to the waiter, quickly approached me..
“……It's really you. Bjorn Jandel.”
“A long time. Abman.”
After quietly exchanging glances, Mr. Bear sat in the seat in front of me without hesitation..
and…….
“…….”
“…….”
There was silence for a moment..
It was Mr. Bear who opened his mouth first..
“The news is… heard.”
Huh, what is this awkward thing?.
“I still don't quite understand what's going on, but it looks like something big happened to you..”
“Oh yeah… There was…….”
“As for other people... Have we already met??”
“Except Misha.”
“okay… is it…….”
After that, Mr. Bear seemed to be thinking about something, and spoke again..
“Actually, after hearing that you were alive, I went to your house several times. There were so many people and there was no sign of you coming out, so I just came back..”
“Why didn’t you at least knock? If it were you, you would have let her in at any time..”
“Well, I changed my mind after all..”
“……?”
Is it simply my mood that gives off strange nuances in my words?.
probably not.
Yeah, I mean…….
“Abman, I didn't mean to deceive you..”
First, let’s get this straight:.
“The reason I couldn't show up in front of you for 2 years and 6 months is everything.—”
“stop.”
“……?”
“Bjorn, it looks like there's a misunderstanding. I'm not mad at you for that. Of course, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel betrayed at all... … . That has nothing to do with this.”
Mr. Bear, who had drawn a sharp line, took my glass and gulped it down and continued talking..
“I just don't want to hear it..”
“…….”
“Whatever the reason for your disappearance. Maybe he's involved in something dangerous. Anyway, this story has nothing to do with me anymore..”
Ugh, it feels like something is squeezing my chest..
“There is no relationship…….”
“I'm sorry, but I think it would be better to nail this part down and move on. If you're here because you want me back on the team, that's impossible..”
Does this mean he dumped me without even confessing??
I'm more curious than sad..
“Since you're saying that, I guess it's not because of the clan you're currently affiliated with..”
“Yeah, no..”
“If it’s okay, can I hear the reason??”
At my request, Mr. Bear exhaled deeply through his nose as if holding back a sigh and opened his mouth..
“The day I heard the news of your return... her wife asked. She looks very worried and asks if she's going to see you.”
“That's right…….”
“You know, Bjorn? Two years and six months was a really long time. Enough to change the mind of an explorer whose dream was to see the end of the labyrinth..”
After saying that, Mr. Bear continued speaking forlornly..
“therefore… My point is… After all, we can't go back to how it was before. No matter how much I think about it, I don't think I'll be able to see my child's wedding if I go with you..”
“okay… Right…….”
With this, even the last handful of lingering regrets were eliminated..
No, there was nothing to regret in the first place..
Why didn't I classify today's visit as a quest?.
I had no intention of trying to recruit him..
No, I thought I had to endure it..
That's right too?
How can you join a clan that might one day fight the royal family? To a married man with children?
“……sorry.”
“Sorry, just drink.”
So this is the real reason I came here.
“why? If we don’t go into the labyrinth together, we can’t drink together.?”
“…That's not it.”
Soon Mr. Bear obediently raised his glass, and we spent time chatting about trivial things..
In a store where customers are gradually leaving and even the employees have left work..
Until the sun sets and night comes.
We talk about the past, laugh and talk, and sometimes even get into serious arguments..
“……It's late.”
“It's only night now?”
“Because my wife will be waiting.”
“then… I can't help it.”
“sorry. If her wife hadn't been pregnant, she said I could have stayed a little longer too.…….”
……full term?
I felt dizzy for a moment, but I roughly understood the situation..
‘There's also a second one..’
I felt strange again.
Now that I think about it, I wasn't able to be by your side when I gave birth to my first child. When she drank, she would rather have me be her godfather.…….
“It's raining. Wear this and go. I think I should at least tidy things up and go..”
“……Ah, thank you.”
After exchanging a few more words, we put on the raincoat that Uncle Bear gave us and went out into the street..
Doo doo doo doo-
pouring rain.
‘It's not particularly sad.’
Is it because it’s been a while since I drank too much??
For no reason, the two years and six months that passed by without me feel cruel..
I feel like I lost something precious.
But now what can I do?.
I have no choice but to do that..
Clap, Clap, Clap.
Moving forward across the rainy streets.
Clap, Clap, Clap.
Even though I was concentrating on my steps, my drunken body stumbled here and there..
But, is it because it’s shaking like that??
[Bjorn Jandel.]
A few words from our last conversation kept flashing through my mind..
[Go forward with great strides. Don't have any regrets about losers like me..]
Well, is there such a thing as a loser in this world?.
[Because you can go anywhere.]
Why is it so hard for everyone to treat me as someone special?.
I don't know, but I walked away.
Clap, Clap, Clap—
I repeat countless times what I have to do tomorrow..
