Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 446
446angry party (3)
The banquet started a little after noon and ended before the sun set..
At today's banquet, all attendees were heads representing each family. Unlike nobles who are busy having fun, they really have a lot of work to do..
‘In fact, after about two hours, people started to leave..’
Most of those who were forced to attend by tradition stayed at the banquet just long enough to avoid being caught and then left the palace without regret..
Of course, as it was a gathering of all the heads of households who were difficult to see each other, there were many who took advantage of this banquet as an opportunity to actively engage in social activities. Well, even he said he was tired and left around sunset..
‘Is this why you become like a child when you get older??’
Not even children in a new country with a curfew..
rattle, rattle.
As I ride the carriage and see the palace moving away, various thoughts pass through my mind..
Starting from random thoughts like it would be convenient to have a house in the imperial capital, to my future..
‘In the end, I couldn't have a proper conversation with the Marquis..’
Unfortunately, one of the quests of this banquet, ‘Finding the Marquis’, failed..
I went to greet them first and sat down at the table, but there were too many people around. It looks like they don't particularly want to bite people..
In the end, I just had to say hello and come back..
This is something I regret not being able to do..
‘Actually, now it doesn't really matter what the Marquis thinks.…….’
The important thing going forward is balance.
No matter what the Marquis' intentions are toward me, if I grow bigger, he won't be able to touch me so easily..
Therefore, you need to be as careful as possible..
Although it has grown to the point where it cannot be easily touched, it does not feel threatening enough to draw a knife..
‘Anyway, getting into Melves went well.…….’
We decided to officially sign up at a later date and get together on a separate day, but for now, there is no problem..
However, I am still not sure what will happen to Ragna, who contacted me through a message..
Actually, if the story goes well, I think he could play the role of the Joker in the later confrontation with the Marquis.…….
“ha…….”
I feel a little sad about myself having to think like this..
If I had continued to be a librarian, I would have just had a happy reunion..
‘Why did you have to be the daughter of a marquis?…….’
Since Hyeonbyeol is even involved in this relationship, the more I think about it, the more my head explodes..
‘……Yeah, you'll know when you meet them.’
After taking a nap, I soon arrived at the military platform, took a teleport and quickly went to Ravigion, then changed carriages and headed home..
“You came early?”
“It ended earlier than expected. Erwen is?”
“I came in a little while ago and am currently washing up..”
Oh, then I guess I'll be able to see you today after a long time..
2I went up to the floor, washed, changed clothes, and came down to the living room to find Amelia and Erwen sitting on the sofa and talking..
But somehow they seem closer than I thought..
Well, it's thanks to our shared joys and sorrows at Ice Rock.—
“mister!!”
Erwen soon discovered me and jumped up and ran towards me, and I stretched out my hand to stop him..
“Erwen, I am not a man..”
“……to?”
Erwen makes an expression like a lost doll at my words..
“I am Bjorn Jandel 'Baron'!”
As the words continued, Erwen let out an awkward exclamation..
“ah…….”
Tsk, shameless barbarian.
They don't accept this..
If it had been Einar, we would have shouted and rejoiced together..
“Bjorn, don't talk nonsense and sit down..”
“…I get it.”
Afterwards, I sat down on the sofa sullenly and the family meeting started right away. Since it had been a long time since the event had been held, there were many agenda items, but the first one mentioned was, of course, Erwen..
“…Fortunately, it worked out well. First of all, I returned the Shinmok Palace, and the money I borrowed to buy this house... … . I decided to return it within a month..”
Erwen, who said that, seemed like someone who had committed a crime. So I asked her why her voice was like that and she said it was because she felt sorry for not being able to protect the house that contained her precious memories.…….
“Okay, why are you sorry about that??”
In the first place, I find it even more unconvincing that the fairies let Erwen go just because of this..
Because there is only one pureblood in an era..
In the worst case scenario, I thought it might cost me my life..
‘In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the best of the best.…….’
I was suspicious that things were going so well, so I asked about this and Erwen explained the reason..
“When we were fighting with the elders, my uncle helped us. I think that played a big role..”
He's my uncle…….
Come to think of it, my uncle was a man with the status of a fairy hero..
I also want to meet this person sometime.
“Anyway, one month is a pretty short period of time..”
After reporting on Erwen's current status, Amelia mentioned a practical problem..
“Even if we raise money by selling this house, we will need to find a new house to live in in the future..”
“…How about we buy again? I think it will be possible if I sell the loot I got this time.…….”
“well. Bjorn, what do you think??”
“hmm…….”
After thinking for a while, I expressed my opinion..
“I think it would be better to live at an inn for the time being. Or go into monthly rent. Of course, it will still be much smaller than the mansion I live in now..”
“……Is that so? also…….”
Erwen seemed reluctant to sell the house, but he did not disagree with me..
Well, it's okay to be honest in a place like this..
“Don't worry too much. The house you live in now and the house you will live in later are all just temporary places..”
Afterwards, when Melves mentioned that they would support the land purchase and mansion construction costs, Erwen's expression brightened noticeably..
“Well, then we really have Baron Yandel.……!”
“Okay, so when you design it later, if you need anything, just tell me everything..”
“……?”
“Because this is also the house you will live in from now on..”
“……!!!!”
Looking at Erwen's expression, fortunately, it seemed like any regrets about selling the house he was currently living in had disappeared..
“Of course, you too, Amelia..”
When I mentioned Amelia, wondering if she might have felt disappointed, she sighed deeply while looking at me for some reason..
Oh, by the way, I did say what I wanted..
“……I wish the room where our navigator would be would be a little bigger than it is now. There are also windows that let in sunlight..”
The navigator seemed to be very depressed recently..
Will it get better if I get some sea breeze??
***
“Enough about the residency issue... How are you going to explore the labyrinth??”
It was an agenda item that Amelia brought up as soon as the house issue was resolved..
That's because our party is currently unfinished..
Einar, Erwen, Amelia, me, and our navigator..
There will be one seat left until the full party of 6 is filled..
The problem is that there is no one who can put it in right now..
I plan to have all of my expedition comrades join my clan someday, but I'm being careful because I feel like things could go wrong if I move too hastily..
If you recruit them right away, I don't think Ravien or the wizard Versil Gowland will be okay.…….
‘Bersil said it would take a month to secure the end of the relationship with the church, and Ravien said she would take a break from exploration for the time being.…….’
No matter what happens, there is always one seat left empty..
One month is too much time to just rest..
Soon I made a decision.
“I think it would be better if we just go in alone this time..”
“Five of us?”
“It's not really a strange thing, is it? Until a few years ago, five people were the norm..”
“that… yes.”
“7Since I plan to only do activities on the 6th floor and not go up to the next floor, it won't be too dangerous..”
“6It’s a floor… i get it. I'll pass that on to Rockrobe as well..”
Then, this concludes the labyrinth exploration..
Afterwards, we had a simple dinner, chatted, and then went to sleep..
And the next morning.
We all went to the guild branch together and completed clan member registration..
“swimming… thank you. mister.”
I'd like you to say thank you to Amelia next to you.…….
Seeing them receive another copy of the same document and carefully store it away makes my conscience tingle..
‘Huh, by the way, I also need to fill the vice-captain position..’
When I created the clan, I thought Amelia would be a good fit, so I tried my luck, but she was immediately rejected..
They say they don't want to get people's attention for no reason?
Well, first of all, the name she uses, ‘Emily Raines’, is an alias..
‘Then who will be the vice-captain?…….’
My worries deepen..
That is why the position of vice-captain must be filled..
This is especially important in that if you register a power of attorney in advance, you can perform administrative procedures that require the leader's authority on your behalf..
‘……Raven was perfect as vice-captain. He handles even the most annoying tasks meticulously..’
After registering as a clan member, we had a quick meal at a nearby restaurant..
“Bjorn, are you going to Commelby now??”
“No, let's stop by the temple first..”
“…Temple?”
After muttering and tilting her head for a moment, Amelia quickly understood the situation..
“You're trying to erase the essence of the gachabon..”
“'Cause there's no need to hide now.”
That's what I said, but I actually thought about this problem until today..
This is because the essence of the gachabon was also a pretty good essence..
I thought it might be better to just take it with me until I start farming the next essence in earnest..
but…….
“There's another reason..”
“Well, didn't you get back the equipment you previously used from Einar and Abman this time? You can use it as long as you return to your original body shape, but not using it is a waste. Additionally, better essence may be found during exploration on the 6th floor. I have to visit the tribe someday, but if I go in this body, it's a bit like that.?”
“Hmm……?”
Amelia made a strange snorting noise after hearing my answer, while Erwen expressed regret..
“uh… Then it will grow again like before.……?”
“okay.”
“I still like it…….”
It’s an aesthetic sense that I can’t understand at all..
What on earth is good about such a skinny body?.
“Well then, let's go.”
After arriving at the temple, I went in alone and went through the water purification process..
「The [Essence of Gachabon] that seeped into the character's soul has been removed..」
「Sixth Sense is reduced by -40.」
「Physical resistance decreases by -15.」
「Dark resistance decreases by -30.」
「Accuracy decreased by -45…….」
falling stats.
「Bone density drops -110.」
Height increases accordingly.
「Control increases by +30.」
Anyway, I feel like my mind has become clearer..
「Luck increases by +50.」
Even the most important thing, luck, would have gotten a little better..
Sigh.
After taking a moment to adjust to the changed eye level, I took out the clothes I had brought separately, put them on, and checked my body in the mirror..
‘Phew, I finally returned to my original body..’
It's surprising, but I'm really big..
For some reason, I felt like crying out the name of my ancestor, but I held back with superhuman control..
First of all, this is a temple..

The reactions of the two people who saw me coming out of the temple were sharply divided..
“Hey man! This one is cool too! Just like the day we first met!”
Erwen, who was showing regret, praised her as if she had never done that before..
“…It's definitely better than before.”
On the other hand, Amelia, who didn't say anything, drove a nail into the warrior's heart..
With a strange murmur.
“but… In some ways, this might be better.”
“huh? what does that mean?”
“It means you'd rather be ugly..”
“I'm not ugly, I'm just manly looking.?”
“foot….”
“……Are you laughing now??”
‘home education’.
The words rose to the top of my throat, but I barely held them back..
First of all, isn’t he a precious colleague?.
Besides, he really didn't receive any home education..
Well, as a clan leader, I have to endure this part..
‘……It could have been dangerous if I hadn't regained control..’
Anyway, I headed to Commelbee as originally scheduled..
That's because not all of our expedition members live in District 7..
We decided to meet in Commelby, the center of the city..
“Here it is.”
As soon as I entered the building that Versil had rented for a day, I saw many friendly faces..
“Hehe, I guess it’s finally here. Baron Yandel... … . No, should I say Baron now??”
Meland Kaislan.
“……Oh my, your appearance has changed.?”
Lilith Marrone, James Calla, Sven Farab, etc.
The crew members who came back from the cold and hungry Ice Rock gathered together in amazement at the change in me..
“Bersil. Akurava and Ravien?”
“They said they couldn't come for some reason..”
“Still, everyone else attended..”
“I'm sure everyone was curious..”
Well, it was me first, but they must have been terrible..
“What's the surroundings like??”
“Don't worry about surveillance. I deliberately chose a place with no windows, and the voice control magic is at work. Just in case, magic power detection is running in real time..”
……He's definitely a wizard, so he's good at his job..
Later, when I join the clan, I'll ask him if he's thinking of becoming vice-captain..
“Baron Yandel!”
“What about Baron? Just call him Captain..”
We reunited after a long time and spent time freely talking about the latest news..
Then, naturally, the time came..
“excuse me… But when do you do that??”
Opening ceremony of sub-space rooted by members of the Rose Knights.
“When I opened it, there was nothing except the backpack we put in it, so I thought it was just that..”
Actually, so did I.
But I recently found out that's not the case..
There is a hidden object, and in order to take it out, you need to adjust the magic of the subordinate subspace.?
For reference, this was discovered by the wizard Bersil.…….
“Come on, one person at a time. Because I made plenty of reagents..”
I was a little nervous because I had yet to adjust the technique..
“indeed… What's in it??”
“I was a little disappointed at first, but now that I'm looking forward to it, I'm even more excited..”
“after… I guess everyone opened it already? I didn't even think to open it because I was afraid there would be surveillance nearby..”
What on earth were they trying to hide even with double security?.
i don't know.
So, I deleted the gachabon essence today in advance, which can be deleted later..
“then… Now that it's all over……?”
“Now, let's open it.!”
I hope you get a little lucky today.
