Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 477
477angry man and woman (4)
First, I moved to the living room on the first floor..
Auyen, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, was not seen as he had already finished his work and went up..
Well, maybe Amelia ordered it..
Whatever happens, it's not something to worry about..
“…….”
“…….”
Huh, the atmosphere got weird again..
Looking at Misha with both fists on her knees and not being able to handle her gaze, I feel awkward for no reason..
Now how do I relieve this mood??
It was a time when I was thinking like that..
“this…….”
Suddenly Misha opened his mouth..
“Hansu…….”
My real name that few people in this world know.
Even though I had turned on the voice control tool in advance, I was still so startled that I flinched and looked around..
And did you realize your mistake?.
“ah… I'm sorry! I never intend to get you into trouble—.”
“Okay. Because sound does not spread within a 2m radius.”
“…So, so?”
So what else?.
They said they corrected their pronunciation, but somehow the way they spoke became strange..
“Did Baekho Lee hear that name??”
First of all, we decided to quickly check something before having a full conversation..
“huh…….”
“So now you know I'm a demon.”
“……huh.”
“Still, you're not reluctant or scared of me??”
“huh.”
“why?”
“Because I've known it for a long time. Something like that…….”
what? I knew it?
“how… Since when……?”
“Well, that's…….”
Misha seemed to be taken aback by my question, and muttered softly with a bright red face..
“……August 16, 154, Gaebyeok. Yes. It was that day that I became convinced.…….”
No, what if I tell you this in terms of date??
I was dumbfounded, but when I slowly estimated the time, I remembered..
I thought I knew why he answered this way..
“…….”
August 16, 154.
That day, I expressed my feelings to him that I no longer considered him a colleague..
And, this and that... After a while…….
‘It was a car.’
Huh, maybe this was the reason??
In the meantime, I thought a lot about why I was dumped..
I really want to ask in person, but for some reason I can't do it out loud..
So I turned it around a bit and said.
“After it was announced that I was dead, why did he follow Baekho Lee??”
“……He said that if you help him, he will use the stone of revival to save you..”
It was something I already knew..
However, there is only one reason why I asked a question I already know..
It was meant to lead naturally to this question..
“why? If what you say is true, then you would have known that I was an evil spirit..”
“still… Cow, precious… Because we are colleagues…….”
A precious colleague…….
It was a happy story, but the answer is a bit vague..
If it wasn't for hatred of evil spirits, why did I get dumped??
Well, does this mean that you can be friends with evil spirits, but it's difficult between men and women??
I wanted to dig deeper, but unfortunately, Missha turned the topic first..
“Well, by the way!”
Okay, this is the part I don't want to talk about..
“Even if I ask you one thing... Okay?”
“speak.”
“Lee Baek-ho… He calls you brother. two people… Are you close friends... hey?”
“It is ambiguous to say that we are close. I can see them doing something over there..”
Misha must have been impressed by one word in my answer and repeated it quietly..
“creation…….”
“So what I wonder is, is that the end??”
“Oh no! There's one more! at that time… Why did you disappear like that from Farune Island? going to be?”
Ah, Baekho Lee didn’t tell you about that..
Why? Trying to drive a wedge between me and him?
No, maybe he just thought it was rude..
I guess it's up to me to choose whether to say that or not..
“if… Everyone else but me... Knowing the reason—.”
Of course, the choice I would make was decided..
“for a moment.”
“……?”
“First, let's clear up the misunderstanding. The story known outside and the truth are different.”
I briefly explained the story of a past trip that started on Farune Island..
I wasn't particularly anxious or anything..
Since everyone except Einar knew my closest associates anyway, I decided there was no reason to hide it from Misha, who even knew my real name..
‘Above all, this is something Baekho Lee also knows..’
Misha, who heard the whole story, looked slightly relieved..
“also… It was an accident... … . What suddenly disappeared…….”
Afterwards, Misha was curious about my story after my return, and I told him the whole truth..
Meeting Erwen.
Meeting Amelia.
Meeting Raven, meeting Einar, meeting Mr. Bear, and even the dwarf, Rotmiller, were all reunited..
“I… It was the last time…….”
Misha, who was muttering in a faint voice, carefully asked once more..
“if… Everyone knows about your secret……?”
“Erwen, Amelia, Raven, and Baekho Lee are all. What you know about my secret.”
“…I see.”
“Anyway, do you know how worried I was at first? I found out later that I became colleagues with a strange guy..”
Plus, he testified that I was an evil spirit..
As I continued speaking without realizing it, Misha's face hardened..
“I'm sorry. Me, I thought you were dead—.”
“There is no need to apologize. Because I believe it was done to save me..”
Well, I wonder if they planned to do something like that after I came back.…….
The effort itself was appreciated..
Even if you end up rolling in a dog poop, wouldn’t this life be better?.
“Well, I think I've said enough about myself, now tell me yours..”
“my, my story……?”
“okay. How has she been doing? Why is your body so thin??”
“It's not dry…….”
I saw it earlier and it was only bones..
“Okay, just say it. What happened to you so far?.”
Misha, who had been wondering for a while about where to start, started talking without any hesitation..
***
Everyone dies someday.
Just as the Immortal King, who was the absolute ruler of a huge kingdom, could not avoid death. It is a law of nature that will not change no matter what you do..
But still.
[Yes, Bjorn is dead..]
The breakup was so sudden.
No matter how many times I fell asleep and woke up, it felt like I was in a dream..
That's why I couldn't refuse.
[If I told you there was a way to bring Bjorn Jandel back to life, what would you do??]
The only way to get back what you lost.
[The Reviving Stone can save up to two people, and if you help me, I will leave one of them as your friend..]
I eventually accepted the offer..
As Baekho Lee told him, they spread the rumor that Bjorn Yandel was an evil spirit, and they went in and out of the labyrinth together and helped him with various tasks..
Still, it was a pretty good day..
It was hard and sometimes I was so sad that I wet my pillow with tears, but there was still hope..
[Oh, now I'm going to throw away the nyangnyangche.?]
I corrected the way I spoke when I was teased for saying that half a penny is the same..
When we met later, I missed seeing Bjorn surprised..
……Actually, that wasn't the only reason..
anyway.
[Meow, what are you reading alone again??]
I started studying by reading books..
When I was like this, it felt like Bjorn was next to me..
[Stop reading and come out. Training center or store. I've trained several newbies, and sparring is the best way to improve your skills..]
We had sparring every day that was almost like beatings..
The idea was to become stronger..
So one month, two months, three months…….
Time passed inexorably, and many things changed for her as time passed..
Although I still sometimes use my old way of speaking when I'm excited, I've become able to speak normally when I pay attention, and I've become stronger than before..
and…….
[…When are you going to use the revival stone??]
I'm starting to run out of patience.
[Oh, you say you’ll write it when the time comes? Why do you keep looking at me like this lately??]
As always, the answer is unpredictable..
I ended up asking.
[……I did have an intention to write it.?]
The stone of revival that Baekho Lee has is real..
But, does Lee Baek-ho really intend to keep his promise??
In the meantime, I tried to ignore that question and just endured it..
If the truth in the box was different from my expectations, I didn't think I could bear it at all..
but…….
[Lee Baek-ho, tell me straight. When are you going to use the Stone of Revival? I just want to say it right here and now. Otherwise—.]
Finally, I overcame my fear and reached out to the truth..
The answer that came back was far from the truth..
[Otherwise, what are you going to do??]
[…….]
[It's really annoying. Why can't you trust people? How have you helped me in the first place??]
[…….]
[There was absolutely no use for me, so I had to work hard to level up first. I was thinking it would become useful now, but my hair got thicker. Hey, if you want to make a point to me, show me your track record. Then I will give you the answer too..]
From that day on, my relationship with Lee Baek-ho reached its lowest point..
Of course, I still couldn't leave Lee Baek-ho's side..
At least the stone of revival is real.
[haha! Contrary to what I heard, she is a harsh woman.!]
He drew a line with all of his colleagues, including Lee Baek-ho, and behaved professionally, and did not hesitate to take on dangerous tasks to achieve merit..
Then one day.
good news and bad news.
Those two things came at once..
[live… there is… ? Bjorn…?]
Bjorn was alive.
but…….
[Otherwise Bjorn Yandel will die.?]
New shackles were placed.
Of course, I couldn't tell the whole truth..
“Haha… That's all of my story... It's not as big of a deal as I thought……?”
Because I’m used to holding back.
***
Misha's story was quite interesting..
That's because I was able to find out how Baekho Lee has been doing over the past few years..
‘I really did some serious leveling once..’
Thanks to this, I got to know Baekho Lee’s skills roughly..
I haven't seen all the combinations, but I have to say that the character concept has become clear.?
If I were to classify my occupation, it would be a ‘meat-based magician’..
‘I didn't know how to use all my weapons depending on the situation..’
He's trickier than I thought..
Well, it was difficult to give a high score for the completeness of the integer combination itself..
‘But I don't understand why there is no way to become stronger. what… … ? Was it just a bluff??’
A few questions arose, but ultimately these are the kind of things that cannot be resolved right away..
As I was organizing the newly acquired information in my head, Misha cautiously opened his mouth..
“however… What did that mean earlier??”
“huh? what?”
When I tilted my head, Misha spoke in a quieter voice..
“You said that to me earlier... … . Ah, nowhere… I can't go.”
Oh, that…….
“What does it mean... That's what I said?”
I answered straight away so as not to show that I was embarrassed..
Like Misha told me earlier.
“……Aren’t we precious colleagues? Colleagues should stay together.”
The words came out before I could think of them in my head..
Missha also added an affirmative tone..
“……Yeah, I see.?”
“Uh, something like that..”
“…….”
I quickly changed the subject..
“But what was it then? On Farune Island. You said you had something to tell me, right?.”
“ah… that… Did I do that? Well, I don’t remember.…….”
I can tell it's a lie just by looking at the way the pronunciation is slurred.…….
For some reason, I felt like it would become awkward again if I asked more, so I decided to ask again later when I had the chance..
And in that sense, the next question.
“ah! Do you have a necklace too? Raven says you took it…….”
No.7777 Garfas’ Necklace.
When I mentioned this, Misha unbuttoned the button below her neck, revealing the necklace hidden under her clothes..
Fortunately, it looks like they didn't sell it and kept it well.…….
“Well, but… I have to give it back?”
What do you say, this guy.
“Give it.”
“……Yes.”
Yes, I finally got this back too..
***
The conversation with Misha started in the middle of the day and continued until dusk and night..
As it had been a long time since we last met, there were many topics to talk about, and as time went on, the awkwardness of the reunion gradually disappeared..
but…….
“It's already time like this. Aren’t you hungry? Let's all eat together—.”
Misha quietly shook his head at my suggestion..
He said he would go back to his accommodation and have a meal.?
“What are you doing at the accommodation? There are a lot of empty rooms, so why not just live here?.”
“Bjorn. I'm grateful, but you don't have to worry so much..”
Such a stubborn refusal to persuade anything.
I'm going to draw a line with myself.?
“Is that so? I get it. Do whatever feels comfortable to you..”
“huh. Thank you for understanding. and… The thing about being told to rejoin the clan... Can I think about it some more??”
“……thought? iced coffee! Of course. thought? Of course, you should try it. however… that is… How long do you think it will take??”
“one week… I think that'll be enough, but I'll come back when I'm done, so don't wait too long. Understand?”
That was the end of our reunion, and I slowly went upstairs. Since I made room for you, I think I should explain the situation to some extent..
Surprisingly, the two were in the same room..
We were having a hard conversation about something.…….
Tuk.
There was no need to knock. As soon as they approached the door, the two people felt that they were strangers and fell silent at the same time..
Well, this is why they are civilians.
I was a little curious about what the two of you usually talked about..
“Can I come in??”
“Hey, come in.!”
A slightly surprised voice.
This part was also unexpected.
“What's going on in my room??”
I thought he would be depressed or aggressive, but I must say he is in very good condition.?
I quickly turned my gaze and looked at Amelia..
Amelia, who made eye contact, shrugged her shoulders and smiled. I think the reason Erwen is okay is because I calmed him down well in the beginning.…….
‘It's really reliable though..’
I gave him a glance with gratitude and then looked at Erwen again..
“what… Do you have something to say??’
Only then did I feel something suspicious..
Should I say that it seems like he's hiding something??
‘I thought you were going to ask me a lot about Missha as soon as I arrived.…….’
I focused a little more and looked around the room, and there was something that caught my eye..
A thick book on the desk.
‘That book... I think it was originally in Amelia's room..’
‘It was a book titled ‘Men and Women’..
Is it like a romance novel??
I'll have to find it and read it later..
“So what happened with Karlstein? Did you leave??”
“Oh, that…….”
I gave a brief explanation and the fact that Misha decided to think about whether or not to join the clan..
That's how the day ends.
“ha…….”
I lay in bed but couldn't sleep.
What if Misha doesn't come back??
No, in the first place, why did I think that if I just persuaded Lee Baek-ho, Misha would come back?.
He… Do you really think of me as just a colleague??
But if you only thought of me as a colleague, there's no reason to try to save him that much..
What on earth are Misha’s true intentions?.
“…Let's sleep.”
Cancer was the only problem I couldn't find an answer to, so I decided to clear my head..
And so time passes…….
“Congratulations! Young warriors! From today, you will leave the Holy Land and be reborn as true warriors.!”
Barbarian's Coming of Age Day.
In other words, the day has come when the labyrinth opens..
