Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 475
475angry man and woman (2)
In the room we arrived at after leaving the hall of the temple, two sisters were staying together..
Pen, the dragon shaman who engraved the dragon's blessing on me.
And former expedition teammate Ravien..
“…You came?”
Little Pen knocked and glanced at me as I entered, then withdrew his gaze..
‘This isn't some teenage kid.’
Still, it doesn’t mean you can’t see it if you want to find it cute..
Didn't I hear from Uncle Yong and Ravien that he was very depressed after it was announced that I had died?.
‘He said he would come back next time to tell me something new... ' while saying—.
“…huh? What did you just say??”
“That… I heard it again……?”
“No, what did you just say?.”
When I lowered my voice and spoke again, Pen raised his voice while looking slightly scared..
“Why why… … ! I just looked at the face and said there was no way I was looking at the wrong person.!”
It was an obvious lie.
Although I clearly heard that it was not just a face, but 'that ugly face'.
“Penitasaurus.”
“…It's Penitas Eauros.?”
“I'll say it again because I seem to have forgotten it over the years, but I'm not ugly, I'm just manly-looking. Do you understand??”
After saying that, I just glared at him and finally got an answer..
“……okay.”
Yeah, I'm fussing even though I'm going to admit it eventually..
I guess the ordering of ranks is over, and I said hello to Ravien next to me..
“Anyway, it’s been a while since you too. Ravien.”
“Two people… You seem closer than I thought.?”
“To be friendly. I only saw it once when I received a blessing before..”
“Still, you were probably the last one for Pen. Meeting someone outside the clan, not someone within the clan.”
Well, I guess so..
How many outsiders will come to this dragon temple?.
After taking a seat at the empty table where the two sisters were sitting, I asked what I was curious about..
“But looking at your reaction earlier, it seems like you knew I was coming, is that right??”
“…huh. I heard it from my father.”
“When??”
“Yandel I was talking to you. His father's voice can be heard everywhere.”
In addition to the spatial movement system, is there also a voice message function? It seems that Mr. Yong's talents are more diverse than I thought.…….
“So how much did you hear??”
“How much do you listen to? Did you just say that you came and will be there soon and that you should wait? ah! I said I had good news for you to hear..”
Hehe, this guy.
“So what? good news?”
Soon the pen looked at me with curious eyes..
As I quickly avoided my gaze, Ravien, who made eye contact, shrugged his shoulders..
It was difficult to understand the emotions of the Yongin people..
Why are you leaving this important event to me, an outsider??
‘Yeah, it's not that difficult.’
It would be ridiculous to delay here, so I just told the truth..
“I killed the dragon slayer and took his heart..”
There were so many things that happened in the process, but in the end, the story ends with this one sentence:.
“…what?”
However, the dragon boy seemed to not understand this one sentence at all, so he repeated the same thing again..
“Literally. I gave my heart to your father, so you too will recover soon..”
“……Uh, sister?”
“It's true, you can believe it, Pen..”
“…….”
Soon, her sister's verification was added, but Pen still looked confused. Was it too sudden a gift to be purely happy??
“…….”
Finally, after being dazed for a long time, Pen finally came to his senses and opened his mouth..
“………thank you.”
I guess I should take back what I said before about not receiving home education..
Mr. Yong and this guy are like that too..
You say thank you very sincerely..
People will feel embarrassed.
“Of course, even if it recovers, not much will change immediately. Because of various circumstances,.”
“…What are the circumstances? what do you mean?”
While I was leaving, I directly spoke to Mr. Yong about what he had asked me to do..
The fact that I killed the dragon slayer is a secret for the time being..
So even when you recover, you must hide in this temple until then.…….
Even the ancient dragons agreed to it..
“sorry. I don't know anyone who is more sick of this place than you, so I'm asking you to do that.—.”
“are you okay.”
Fenn said, interrupting me to apologize..
“I don't really care if I stay here.”
A voice filled with sincerity, not empty words..
Of course it wasn't something I couldn't understand..
“but? Life here is not that bad because meals come out on time and you can just play without worrying every day.—.”
“What is he saying now. This idiot.”
“…Oh, wasn't that the reason??”
Fen looked at me and sighed deeply..
“Could that be possible? I’m sick of this place too. I want to smell wild flowers and run blindly in the wind. but…….”
Pen, who was speechless, clenched his small fists and said,.
“Because now my father doesn't have to be here all the time because of me. Because you will be free to go where you want and see what you want to see..”
It was a completely unexpected answer for me..
“So that's enough.”
Because it’s family…….
For some reason, I became a little curious..
“Yandel, thank you for saving my father..”
What does it feel like to have a family like this??
***
Afterwards, Fenn left the room, saying he was going to rest first, as if he needed some time to think alone, and so he and Ravien were left alone..
not bad.
I already had something to say to him..
“Ravien.”
“I'm listening, so speak up.”
“Why is it so hard to see your face??”
“that is… What do you mean?”
Hmm, did I say it too bluntly??
I thought it was a sensitive topic, but like a barbarian, I decided to just ask straight..
“This means why did you not attend the after-party? When I came and saw it in person, it didn't seem that busy..”
“I heard that Titana Akuraba was also absent..”
“Well, that's right.”
I nodded and continued..
“But that lady is really busy.”
The answer came back after a bit of an awkward pause..
“……I was busy too.”
“Yeah, really? Then there's nothing I can do.”
“So this is the end of what I'm curious about?”
Raviyen calmly nodded, sipped tea, and returned to a more relaxed voice..
Oh, did you really think I would get away with saying something like that??
“Ravien, I’m fine, so please be honest. Have you changed your mind??”
Although the subject was missing, there was no one here who could not understand what was said..
“no. My thoughts haven't changed.”
“okay? As soon as I got back into town it seemed like you were trying to distance yourself from us.—.”
“Because I didn't think the same way from the beginning..”
Hehe, look at this guy.?
“I didn't think the same from the beginning…….”
When Ravien gave me a look demanding an explanation, he finally reluctantly opened his mouth..
“When I think of the crew members who died in that cold place, of course I feel sad. I feel angry at the marquis, and even the royal family, for causing such a thing to happen..”
“however?”
“That's it. Because not everyone in the world is like you, Yandel..”
Unfortunately, it was not an illusion that Ravien seemed to distance himself from us ever since he returned to the city..
The reason was also not different from what I had expected..
“No matter how much bond we have had over the years, if you look at it bluntly, we are just people who went on an expedition together once..”
Wouldn't it be better if it was family?.
My family isn't dead.
And that's why.
“If you ask me if it's worth risking my all for revenge, my answer is 'No, it's not.'.”
Ravien put aside her emotions and made a realistic decision..
Actually, this was a normal reaction.
Even if a family member dies, if that person is a king, most people wouldn't even dream of revenge..
“is it… thanks. It must have been awkward, but you told me honestly what you thought..”
“……I'm sorry for saying this. However, among the remaining survivors, there is sure to be at least one other person who thinks the same way as me. It's just that everyone can't speak out because of the atmosphere..”
Well, that's probably true too..
People are the ones who can go from hot to cold, and even from cold to hot in an instant..
“Take the advice to heart.”
“……That's surprising. I thought you were going to yell at me and call me a traitor..”
“That's not going to change your mind, is it? If I could change it, I would have done it a hundred times..”
“that… song…….”
Ravi Yan just looked at the floor like a frustrated person..
I calmly finished saying everything I wanted to say, and the conversation ended without any quarrel..
“…….”
I couldn't keep my eyes still, as if I wanted to say something right now..
I felt like I knew what it felt like..
Because I was once like him..
“Ravien, since you have been given advice, let me give you some advice as well..”
“tell.”
“If everyone had been as rational as you that day, none of us would have come back alive..”
There is no right answer in this world.
There is only a choice.
***
“Come back later if you change your mind. I'll welcome you anytime.”
As I was about to leave the room with those words, Ravien muttered one word..
“…My father is still in a meeting..”
“Oh, right.”
In the end, I was awkwardly just sipping tea to kill time, and then teleported home using Mr. Yong's words..
As I left early in the morning, it was just after noon when I returned.…….
“mister! You came!”
“…You came early. They said it might be late.”
Amelia and Erwen happened to be home at that moment and came out to meet us..
“Ah, it ended earlier than expected. But how did it end up like this??”
I asked, pointing to the ground with my finger..
The vacant lot, which was overgrown with weeds until we left, had already been remodeled..
As if a line had been drawn, half of the garden was full of bushes, and the remaining half was decorated like a training ground..
“This one… … ? That's how it happened. It looks a bit ugly, but… … . There is no other way.?”
“Since one person cannot have it all to himself, the only way is for two people to share..”
They fought for a few days about whether to use it as a garden or a training ground, and in the end, they came to this kind of compromise..
“Yandel, how did you eat??”
“All I did was pick up a few snacks and eat them. you guys?”
“Not yet!”
“Then we can eat together..”
It's been a while since I thought about going out to eat together, but the answer came back that Auyen was already preparing a meal..
At first I didn't understand what they were talking about..
“That guy cooks……?”
“Didn't you know? The dinner you ate yesterday was also prepared by him..”
“……I thought I bought it from outside... No, but there's no kitchen here.?”
Amelia looked pitiful at my sharp question..
“1How long has it been since one of the rooms on the first floor was converted into a kitchen? Didn't you know that yet??”
“…….”
“Yandel, I know you're busy, but you need some attention at home too..”
I had nothing to say.
You must have had a good rest at home recently..
Anyway, as I followed Amelia, I saw that an empty office on the first floor had been converted into a kitchen..
“Ah, are you here, Captain?!”
Auyen greets me while wearing a white cooking uniform. I glanced to the side and saw the finished dish on a white plate..
“Uncle, come here. If you sit down, this person will do everything for you..”
“uh… Is that so??”
Auyan, what on earth does this guy do??
From sailors to coachmen and cooks.
‘…You're good at everything except fighting.?’
I once again realized the truth that strength is the best..
If I didn't have the power, this guy wouldn't be here smiling and cooking..
“What do you think? Does it suit your taste??”
“It's just right. It's seasoned very well. There are a lot of meat side dishes.”
“Since we don't know when the leader will come, the ladies have instructed us to always prepare plenty..”
“…lady?”
“ah…….”
Auyen flinched at my question as if he had made a mistake..
However, he seemed to know that it was a mistake, so he didn't point it out and focused on eating..
And how long has it passed??
“Leave it alone. I'll clean it up.”
When the meal was over, Auyen collected the dishes..
I felt very strange.
Being treated like this in my own home, I must say that I really feel like a noble person.?
“Man, we don’t have any plans for today.?”
“yes? Because I left the whole day blank just in case..”
“then… Would you like to have a cup of tea in my garden??”
“Oh, good.”
“Tersia, I am a black dragon car.”
“under… Is it really shameful or not??”
Erwen spoke harshly, but brewed tea leaves for us, and afterward, the three of us enjoyed tea and refreshments together and talked..
The fence blocking the view from the outside felt cozy, and the languid afternoon sunlight was warm..
It's truly time to relax for the first time in a long time..
‘Good…….’
Erwen was chatting away about various things next to her, and although Amelia joined in and started bickering, it just felt comfortable..
But is it because I'm so tired??
“Because it’s family…….”
The thought came out of my mouth without me realizing it..
It was a murmur so low that you couldn't even hear it unless you listened intently..
but…….
“……?”
“……?”
The two people who had been arguing for a while closed their mouths at the same time, and silence came..
“……Yandel, what did you just say??”
“yes. What did you just say??”
Two people who have forgotten how to fight and ask me with one mind and one voice.
“…say nothing.”
I felt somewhat embarrassed and tried to explain it away, but the two were persistent..
“That's not saying anything. It's definitely 'family...' … .' You muttered,.”
“I heard that too. What on earth did you mean by that??”
Ha, how did I really say something like that?.
I think the words came out while I was thinking about the most impressive dragon kid of the day.…….
“just.”
I sighed and answered.
“I wonder if it would feel like this if I had a family..”
Honest answer as it is.
The two people who persistently asked me why became speechless after hearing my answer..
“…….”
“…….”
Well, the atmosphere gets really weird if you do this.…….
As I was about to open my mouth to change the subject, Erwen suddenly changed his gaze, broke the silence, and muttered softly..
“……It's the left wall..”
left fence?
What is he talking about all of a sudden??
The moment I had a question, an explanation came from Amelia's mouth..
“someone is watching us.”
what?
“Tercia, let's count to three and go out together..”
“all right.”
Without having to do anything, the two women quickly counted to three and ran towards the fence..
and…….
“…Eh, eek?!!”
After quickly completing the cooperative hunt, someone hiding on the side of the fence was captured like a trophy..
“This... A welcome face... I'm not sure if I should say that..”
Amelia's reaction was a little strange..
“…….”
Erwen's expression was colder than ever..
“Aha, ahahaha…….”
The prey, who had been subdued and fell to the ground, looked at me and let out an awkward laugh..
“Oh, it's been a while... all. Bjor… Tsk!”
A prey animal that makes a painful expression as if he chewed his tongue while pronouncing clearly..
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
It was Misha.
