Surviving the Game as a Barbarian - Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 120
120 Fire Dark Clouds (4)
An office room with a heavy woody scent.
The 7th regional leader of the Explorers’ Guild, Nile Urbans, laughed.
It’s because I remembered what my daughter said a while ago.
[I have no intention of living the rest of my life as my father’s doll.]
When the jailbreak first happened.
He noticed his daughter’s disturbing movements.
That’s because there was no reason for the branch manager and the two of them to be sharing a solo table at that time.
The fact was suspicious, so when I investigated in earnest, I found out that my daughter was secretly building a position in the guild.
‘A woman has a woman’s life.’
For a time of rebellion, it was quite plausible.
Even though I thought it was a headache, the thought that my daughter was right also made me happy inside.
However… … .
‘I was told to be careful about breathing.’
The reason that even such ambition can be seen cutely is because the target is his daughter.
‘Chief, he must have chosen my daughter after all.’
Bjorn Yandel.
A barbarian who was determined to change his habit someday, but grew tremendously in a short period of time.
The branch manager tried to contact him today.
I still don’t know what my daughter is trying to decorate with the barbarian. However, it became clear that the branch manager had passed over to his daughter.
That fact was very unpleasant.
‘You dared to rebel against me.’
It’s not that I don’t understand why the branch manager made such a choice.
He’s already gone, and when he takes off his clothes, he’s already decided who he’ll sit in his place. He knew that too, so he would have listened to grab even a rotten cord.
But understanding and forgiveness are two completely different words.
‘I’ll have to deal with both of them this time.’
Nile Urbans sips his tea, and his eyes lit up.
Originally, the barbarian was going to just leave it alone.
Thinking of the humiliation at that time, I was shivering, but within a few months, I had established a position of my own.
There was no reason to increase the number of enemies by one.
But now things have changed.
There must have been a reason why the smart daughter wanted to make contact with the barbarian.
‘… … Besides, it’s strangely annoying.’
Nile Urbans made a decision.
If something bothers you, just get rid of it.
Before turning it into a bigger problem later.

Kwakwaquaang-!
How long has it been since you left the Explorers Guild?
As I was returning to my dorm, the dry sky was thundering and rain was pouring down.
‘Nimiral.’
Suddenly, dark dark clouds covered the sky.
I just wanted to get hit, but I thought it might be a shower, so I entered a nearby restaurant.
It was time to fill up on food anyway, so it was time to eat and watch the trend for a while.
“Your order has arrived.”
Grilled meat and pumpkin stew, and rye bread.
The inside is quite warm and warm, but somehow I feel like it’s not enough.
It’s not like I’ve been to a cheap restaurant with 300 stones a meal like I used to.
‘exactly… … The meat is said to be cooked well by Misha.’
When I go out tomorrow, I think I’ll have to buy some meat and roast it, so I ordered more rum.
After all, I was thinking of killing time until the rain stops or at least calms down a bit.
If I have to go back anyway, there will be no Missha.
‘Oh, is he still there because of the rain?’
As I drink alcohol alone while enjoying the sound of rain, my thoughts are endless.
Watching the goblin trap and eating stone bread seems just like a while ago, but it’s already been half a year.
‘Pajeon Makgeolli… … Is there any place that sells them?’
The thought of going back home faded a lot.
I just got used to everything.
The creaky bed, the small single room with one bathroom, and the daily life of laughing and chatting with colleagues while drinking cheap beer.
‘I’ve changed a lot too.’
If you give me the fucking point of this world, you can do it all day. But if you ask me if I’ve never had fun… … .
At first, my goal was to survive, but I felt the joy of being a gamer as I gradually grew up.
It wasn’t bad to flirt, laugh and talk with colleagues.
It felt a little odd.
‘If I hadn’t been called here, I’d probably still be playing games alone in the corner of my room.’
Hansoo Lee, a 29-year-old office worker, had a very narrow relationship. Of course, there were no complaints or inconveniences.
He was preparing for his retirement, and he was able to live alone without relying on others.
Unlike this world where colleagues are forced.
‘Seeing you think like this… I guess I’ve heard that they’re friendly too.’
I took a sip of the rum, which had an unnecessarily sweet aftertaste.
Dwalkie, Rotmiller, Dwarf.
When I think of these three, my taste buds get a bit bitter.
‘If you want to go to the upper floors, you will have no choice but to form a new team.’
Starting from the 5th floor, being a member now is not enough.
Should I say that the limits of growth are clearly visible?
First of all, Dwalkie is not from a horse tower, and has a serious problem with her innately low magical power.
‘Right now, I’ve been learning new magic, but it’s safe to say that I rarely use rank 6 spells.’
Not to mention Rottmiller.
It’s only on the lower floors, as long as you find the path well, but on the upper floors, a high level of combat power is also required for explorers.
That’s because the maximum number of people in a party is five.
‘I don’t know if that uncle even awakens the leader. Otherwise, the 4th floor would be the limit.’
Of course, unlike these two, the dwarf will be able to play an active part in the upper floors as long as the equipment is well matched.
But a team doesn’t have to have two tanks.
‘… … If Misha’s specs go up a bit, I’ll have to form a new team.’
In fact, it was a problem I had thought about before, but now I have definitely made up my mind.
The troll war that took place this time played a big role.
I will keep going upstairs, and that goal cannot be achieved with them.
It may seem harsh, but it is also a decision for them.
Because the upper floors are teeming with monsters worse than trolls.
It’s better not to expect such a lucky surviving event to be repeated—
“Yandel?”
uh, what suddenly?
When I turned my head to the sound of me calling, there was someone I didn’t expect at all.

Mr. Bear.
No, so… … .
“Urakburak?”
“… it’s our kfried If it’s hard to pronounce, you can just call me Abman.”
“Then do it that way.”
The macho-looking Uncle Bear sat down on the other side of the table without asking for permission or whether he was trying to pay for his face.
I didn’t really feel bad because it was something I usually did too.
“I didn’t know you were going to be a guest.”
“Guest?”
“Oh, I didn’t say that. This is a store run by my wife.”
You’re the boss… … .
It was information that I was not aware of, but it was not something to be surprised at or to do. A level 5 explorer would have enough money to open a shop.
If you are surprised, you should be surprised in other parts.
“Is the guy with a wife going into the labyrinth alone?”
“It’s because the store is running low these days. Shouldn’t the country also work hard to earn money?”
Well, then I have nothing to say.
It’s not something I’m going to mess around with.
“Anyway, you are the owner of the place you came to escape the rain, it’s a strange coincidence.”
“It’s a coincidence that the word ‘wonderful’ won’t be enough. Thank you for giving me confidence, Bjorn Jandel.”
“Are you sure?”
Uncle Bear replied as if it was nothing.
“Would you mind putting me on your team?”
huh? What else is this?
***
Do you want me to accept you as a colleague all of a sudden?
It was an unexpected topic, but after listening to it, I understood it. From Mister Bear’s point of view, I was a proven explorer.
“In that situation, if you can save someone you don’t know, you won’t hit the back of the head.”
Although he asked for 5 million stones, it seemed good that he saved himself by using the best potions from the cracks blocked from the outside.
‘… … This will happen again.’
Tank secondary pets and powerful ranged physics deals.
It is clear that Uncle Bear will do his part without too much trouble even on the 5th floor or higher.
However… … .
“I must have misunderstood something. There is a fixed team, only this time alone.”
I shyly declined his offer.
I plan to be at the Dwalkie party for a while, but I can’t get anyone else out to put this guy in.
Unsurprisingly, Uncle Bear gently nodded his head.
“If so. What we talked about today, when the seat becomes vacant or comes out of the team, we will do it again later.”
“Is the seat vacant?”
“You would know what I mean?”
With Uncle Bear’s meaningful gaze, the colleague’s case came to an end. After that, we had a brief conversation about when to repay the 5 million stones.
“I put some unused equipment on the exchange, so I will be able to give it to you on the promised date.”
Looking at the inside of the store where only flies are flying, my heart feels heavy… … .
After 10 days, we met again here to exchange 5 million stones for collateral.
“Then see you then.”
“Wear this, too. It will work for you too.”
It didn’t seem like the rain would stop even if we waited longer, so I borrowed a raincoat from Mr. Bear and headed to the dorm.
Shoot aa
Rain falling like a typhoon.
As I ran through the unfamiliar, quiet street, I arrived at the dormitory immediately.
But, what else is this?
“Ah, Bjorn is here? This is your guest.”
“Ahhh! mister… … !!”
Like rain on a sunny day, an unexpected encounter awaited me.
***
10 years ago, since that incident, I have been living with a lot of restraint.
So I thought I was confident in my patience.
At least until today.
“If you covet other people’s things, shouldn’t you be punished?”
Erwen was stunned at the thought that came out of his mouth without realizing it.
“Yes? you… … Are you a lot tougher than I thought?”
Fortunately, the other side didn’t seem to notice the true meaning of what he just said… … .
‘My, what the hell am I saying… … .’
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t stolen.
Because uncle is not like a thing.
Also, she was the one who made the decision to leave her uncle and stay with her older sister.
But what does this feeling mean?
hard.
Unusually, hostility arose.
Can we win if we fight?
I have myself inadvertently looking at others with such thoughts.
“By the way, we don’t even know each other’s names. I am Misha Karlstein.”
“… … Erwen Fornacci di Tersia.”
“Wow, what a pretty name… … Erwen, nice to meet you.”
“yes… … .”
Hiding their reluctance, they shook hands.
Then we sat down and talked.
I don’t want to be friends with that woman, but I have a question for you.
“Mr. Karlstein, are you dating anyone?”
“Kyo, dating… … sounds weird. Me and Bjorn are just comrades, comrades!”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
For some reason, it felt like the anger had subsided.
I was just asking if anyone was dating, but I don’t know why the uncle’s name came out right away.
I’ll have to check it out a bit more.
“I’m sorry. You said that you had washed together earlier, so I was mistaken.”
“Come on, what do you mean by washing together? I just rented the bathroom for a while.”
“If you are renting a bathroom in an outsider’s room, do you think the dormitory is too far from here?”
“Uh, it’s not that far away… … .”
“… … Are you saying no?”
At those words, Erwen’s eyebrows curved.
It may not be the man, but it was clear that this woman had a strange idea.
Enough to use such a vulgar technique.
“Wow! So how do you know Bjorn?”
Did you want to turn the topic away from yourself?
This time, the other side asked a question.
Erwen answered honestly.
“I was a colleague with you.”
“Yes? mister… … ? Bjorn is still only twenty years old… … .”
“Ah, it’s like a nickname just for me and you, so I don’t think you need to worry about it.”
“nickname… … say?”
“Yes, is there any problem?”
Naturally, when she tilted her head, the beast woman smiled awkwardly.
“No. problem? I guess it could be Nyaha!”

Mouth was smiling, but his tail was twitching and hitting the bedspread.
Seeing that, Erwen felt a strange sense of victory.
Until an unexpected counterattack followed.
“You and I are a little special. First of all, he was my first comrade, and my first returnee—”
“Hey, but isn’t that meaningful only to you?”
“… … yes?”
“By the way, I’ve been with Bjorn for several months, and I’ve never heard of you. Nyaha!”
The beautician woman smiled brightly and thrust a dagger into her heart. Erwen couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the sudden change of attitude.
But, instinctively, I knew one thing.
“Did you say Erwen? What are you doing, if you want to look cute, it’s not that you can’t look at it. By the way… … Wouldn’t it be annoying if I treated people as idiots while showing hostility like this?”

Missha Karlstein.
It was only natural that he felt hostility as soon as he saw this woman.
“Um, thank you for one thing. Thanks to you, I don’t think I’ll be confused anymore.”
“Hey, aren’t you confused?”
“Well? Don’t you already know what I mean?”
This woman is the enemy.
Trying to steal her precious things.
