Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 577
577angry return (3)
With the fox leaving, the already small number of people decreased even further..
Wolf, Goblin, Queen.
Now there are only three people participating in the game..
Auril Gavis muttered as he looked at the empty round table..
“I've been preparing hard, but it's a little disappointing. There are already only three left.”
Rather than saying I didn't like this situation, I felt more surprised..
Actually, I understand that feeling..
I too was a little surprised by this development..
‘I didn't know I would give up my return ticket so easily..’
Anonymity disappears and personal information is exposed?
This is too dangerous in this world where evil spirits are subject to summary execution. But it doesn't mean anything if you can just go home.
So I thought a game of chicken would unfold..
but…….
Clown and Black Mask left from the start, and Nabi quickly lost. The fox gave up because living in this world wasn't that bad..
They all left before the game even started in earnest.…….
“Then I'll keep going.”
It was time for Auril Gavis to resume the OX quiz again..
The goblin raised his hand cautiously..
“I… … . I'll stop here too…….”
The third declaration of abandonment after the butterfly and the fox.
Auril Gavis clicked his tongue at this..
“is it? Then hurry up and leave..”
“Are you not asking me why? … ? that… Well, I'm not arguing... Just curious…….”
“…Okay, what's the reason? Did you have a change of heart after hearing what Ms. Fox said??”
“uh… that is… I can't say there was no impact at all.…….”
“I don't have it?”
“that… I don't know how to say this…….”
“That's enough, let's just say it now.”
When Auril Garvis spoke in an irritated voice, the goblin averted his gaze and muttered softly..
“Because something doesn't feel right.”
Hmm, a goblin's intuition is trustworthy..
As soon as I heard it, that was my first thought, but on the other hand, I felt like Auril Gabis was not cool..
“Right. Now that you know the reason, leave quickly. Oh, do you need time to say hello too??”
“Ah, yes… Then just briefly…….”
Soon the goblin spoke to everyone..
“I once heard from a friend I met at a language school that a connection can be made just by brushing our clothes. If that is true, being dragged into this unfamiliar world and meeting in a place like this, wearing masks, would not have been an ordinary fate. Sis, some of you might even know who I am..”
long introduction.
However, the main text was very short..
“So, even if you have to kill me, please save me. Aren't we the same player??”
Well, I was wondering what you were going to say..
“……Is that the end??”
“yes? Ah, yes… This is the end of what I want to say.”
“Then let's go.”
“ah… yes… Well then, bye everyone.…….”
As the goblin left, the queen and the wolf looked at each other with awkward expressions..
Before we knew it, it had become the finals with only two people left.…….
‘Are we really going to the end from now on??’
That was my first thought, but the situation went in a completely unexpected direction..
“I'll stop here too.”
With those words, Auril Gavis revealed his true emotions for the first time..
“……What is your reason??”
A voice that goes beyond discomfort and seems angry somewhere..
Well, that's probably true. It seems like I've been preparing hard for something, but it's not working out properly..
“The reason is simple. I don't trust you.”
“Because of disbelief... … . I have the power to send you home.”
“is it so. Maybe so. No, I think there is a high possibility that he actually has the ability to do so. But I still can't believe it.”
Soon the queen glanced at the wolf and continued speaking..
“That person has a close relationship with you.?”
The queen seemed concerned..
A situation in which people are toyed with to their heart's content by taking advantage of their wish to return home..
“Even if it was designed so that he would win in the end, I have no way of knowing. In the first place, in order to decide the winner in the current situation, Wolf would have to give up, but I don't think Wolf would make that choice..”
It was a very rational decision..
However, it was not just possible, and it was clear that he had been influenced by seeing others quickly cut their losses..
“Okay then, I'll leave now..”
Afterwards, the queen left the venue without saying goodbye, and the winner of the OX quiz was determined in vain..
“uh… uh……?”
The winner with the sweet reward is the wolf mask.
The wolf, who had been dazed as if he had no sense of reality, seemed to come to his senses and asked in an excited voice..
“Gavis, that… So can I go back home now??”
Doesn't he understand the mood??
I don't know, but it was a very nice sight for me as a bystander..
“Of course. Because a promise is a promise.”
“Okay, thank you… … ! I really appreciate it—.”
“So would you please shut up for a moment now??”
OX It seemed like he was very excited during the quiz and all..
‘I'm angry, I'm angry.’
It was a very rare sight..
***
“…….”
“…….”
The wolf, belatedly aware of the atmosphere, closes his mouth and a heavy silence subsides..
But would I have courage even in this situation?.
“I… then… When will the reward be... Can I get it?…….”
The wolf mentions a reward to Auril Gavis once more..
“I will come to you when the time comes. So, will you just leave??”
deep irritated voice.
In response, the wolf did not urge any further and bowed down..
“……yes. Then I will wait outside. Gavis.”
Even the wolf leaves, leaving only the two of us at the round table..
I was watching quietly before opening my mouth for the first time in a long time..
“Are you really going to let me go??”
Since there are only two of us now, the question is meant to be honest. However, there was no way this snarky old man would give an honest answer..
“Hmm, what do you think??”
“Well, to be honest, I don't think it's going to end well..”
“You don't have enough faith in me.”
This is such a ridiculous thing to say.
Then do something trustworthy on a regular basis..
“Anyway, it's really unfortunate. One or two more laps would have been fun for you..”
“What a fun sight to see, you have unique tastes..”
“I have no intention of denying it... … . Isn't that what you want to say??”
Well, I couldn't deny it either..
The things I did while wearing this mask are not that different from this old man..
I asked bluntly.
“So why did you do this??”
The apology for getting in the face and all is just an excuse..
However, I still don't know why I prepared this OX quiz game..
What was the reason??
“Faith is no different from gambling. As much as I walked, I hope you come back this time.”
“however?”
“Before I talk to you, there was something I wanted to show you. but… Now that things have come to this, it would be a bit ridiculous to even explain it in words..”
“You have a knack for saying the word secret at length..”
“Lol, then you have a knack for making everything simple and clear.?”
Well, at my age, I eat as much as I can and try not to say a word..
The more I looked at him, the uglier the old man was, but I decided to put up with it since I was born and raised in a Confucian country. It's been a long time since we met, but I can't let this opportunity go by like this..
“Okay, I want to ask a question..”
“question? Try it.”
“how did you find out about me?”
It was a question I was going to ask when we were alone..
That's right, it didn't seem like he was thinking about it..
[In fact, this place is as if you made it, isn’t it??]
That old man came into the round table today and said that as soon as he saw me..
To put it simply, it means that he knew that the lion mask was ‘Nivelz Nche’, whom he met 20 years ago..
‘No, actually, just by looking at what he says, it seems like he knows everything about Bjorn Yandel..’
Anyway, before we start a conversation in earnest, we need to check how much the old man knows.…….
“But you say that every time we meet, your words become shorter and longer.?”
“Why is it better to be a senior now??”
When I asked with a grin, Auril Gavis responded with a welcoming voice..
“uh… Would you please? Now that everyone is gone, he doesn't have to pretend to be a detective.…….”
I guess he was secretly uncomfortable with me speaking informally..
“Well, that's good. Let's do that. It's not that difficult. Anyway, so what's the answer? This too is a secret?”
“Oh, you were asking how I found out about you? The answer is simple. I waited and waited until 20 years had passed. With that much information, it was easy to figure out that you were Bjorn Yandel..”
Hmm, that's right.
It was an understandable story, but another contradiction arises here..
“But there is something strange about that. Then why didn't you recognize me right away when we first met at the round table last time??”
“Well, from your point of view, you haven't met me yet. I decided it would be better to wait a little longer..”
“And that time is now??”
“It's similar. Until now, I've been careful to avoid meeting you as much as possible... … . There's one thing I'd like to check as soon as possible..”
Oh, by the way, you said you came because you had a question for me..
“Then tell me quickly. What do you want to know about me??”
When I asked coolly as if he would tell me anything, the old man seemed to think that this was the right time and quickly asked a question..
“Didn't I tell you here at the round table that I had a meeting with a witch??”
“yes. But?”
“I want to hear the details of where and how you met the witch..”
This isn't deja vu.
It was the exact same question as the one the wolf asked me earlier..
‘Oh, since I didn't answer, did you come in person??’
Hmm, somehow it seems reasonable to look at it that way..
That means that the information is important enough to this old man to change his original plan..
And if you look at this from another direction,…….
‘What I'm saying is that I'm the boss.?’
As soon as I realized that fact, my body was already leaning against the pedestal and crossing my legs arrogantly..
K-Barbarian's instinctive behavior of catching situations where he has an advantage like a ghost..
“…….”
Auril Gavis gave me a questioning look at my change in attitude, but didn't say anything..
‘Okay, I'm just going to endure this much.?’
Tuk-tuk.
Soon, as I was tapping the table meaninglessly, an abandoned OX sign came into view..
These were items that the old man created with a single gesture..
‘Come to think of it, I said I got all my authority back.?’
Soon, I quenched my appetite and asked Auril Gavis for a favor..
“Is that an old man over there? I'm thirsty, so please give me a glass of cider..”
“……?”
“Ah, it’s refreshing to have floating ice cubes..”
