Surviving the Game as a Barbarian - Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 121

121 Fire Dark Clouds (5)

I stood there for a moment and looked straight ahead.

There were two people in the room that Misha had thought no one would have gone back to.

Misha and Erwen.

‘There’s no way the two of you know each other, so did Erwen come to see me and meet me by chance?’

As soon as I entered the room, as a habit, I analyzed causality through the given circumstances.

But that was all.

Whoops-!

Unlike the outside air moistened with rain pouring down, my small single room with some cool air.

This room was full of doubts.

‘what? Why is he so mad?’

They’ve been together for almost a few months, and you can tell just by looking at their faces.

Now Misha is very, very angry.

It can’t be compared to when I was caught eating all the meat and secretly throwing away carrots.

Even the tail hairs are slightly puffy, so I think he’s feeling a bit wary… … .

Oddly enough, Erwen was the same.

‘… … Is he really crying?’

Tears are welling up in the corners of my eyes.

I’m not in tears, but should I say that I feel like I’m struggling?

Rather than crying because it’s sad, it’s more like an expression of enduring with shivering because it’s too upset.

‘Did you two even fight?’

Based on the information shown, I made a conclusion.

It seems that Erwen and Misha had a fight.

Well, I don’t know why.

I don’t think either of them had the personality to face such an emotional confrontation with someone they met for the first time.

rattle.

As soon as the door was closed, the eyes of Misha and Erwen turned to me at once.

Maybe it was because of the sound of rain and thunder, but it seems that he only felt his popularity after closing the door… … .

Misha was the first to speak.

“Ah, Bjorn is here? This is your guest.”

Misha smiled and greeted me as usual.

For some reason, his eyes weren’t smiling at all.

And that was the moment.

“Ahhh! mister… … !!”

Erwen pours out the tears she has been holding back and runs towards me while jumping.

For once, I avoided it with my reflexes.

But wasn’t that the picture you were thinking of?

Erwen, who landed with a balance like a nimble character, chewed his lips and asked me.

“That girl… Is it because?”

What is it, boy?

It seems that the atmosphere has changed a lot since the last time I saw it… … .

How much time has passed since then?

“Is it because of that woman?”

“Oh, nothing!”

When asked if they really had a big fight, Erwen flinched and shook her head.

Then he glanced at one place as if he were noticing, and at the end of that gaze was Misha.

“Bjorn, why are you here now?”

Misha, who made eye contact, approached me with frequent steps.

“You left in a hurry, didn’t anything happen?”

A voice mixed with nasal noises that I can’t get used to.

I got goosebumps for some reason, but he answered my questions once I asked them.

“It was nothing. Charon was driven as a looter, I went and said a few words, and it all worked out.”

“Hey, it was. It was hard.”

Misha was stroking my cheeks as she spoke her words of death.

If it was normal, I would have hit my forearm or back.

At this point, I had no choice but to ask.

“how… … Why are you doing that?”

“Why? It’s commendable that you did a good job. A barbarian can’t be considered a stranger.”

I tilted my head involuntarily.

I didn’t even ask about it in the first place… … .

That answer itself is full of contradictions.

“why? Barbarian and Suin are on good terms, aren’t they?”

… … is it?

Well, I’d say it’s better than the fairies who are enemies.

“Come on, here are the towels!”

As I was talking more, Misha jumped and put a towel on my head.

“Let’s dry your hair first. I will catch a cold.”

“Ah oh… … Do it.”

Something was suspicious, but he moved his gaze to Erwen, wiping away the moisture on his head. Once you’re a guest, you can’t leave it unattended.

“Erwen, did you come first?”

“yes? Ah, yes… … .”

As I speak, Erwen shrugs her shoulders and averts her eyes.

When do you run

Oh, did you feel a sense of distance by avoiding that?

“Anyway, it went well. I still wanted to visit you—”

“yes? Are you trying to find it?”

“… … By the way?”

“really? happy. I thought you might have forgotten me… … .”

I responded with a smile to the atmosphere that had changed with just a few words of conversation.

“It’s a colleague I met on my first labyrinth expedition, so I can’t forget it.”

“Yeah, right? To say that it meant only to me, was it not possible after all?”

huh?

Although I felt a strange sense of incongruity, I was overwhelmed by Erwen’s earnest gaze and nodded my head.

“… … right?”

“yes! It was like that, after all!”

I don’t know what happened, but Erwen’s complexion brightens with a single reply from me.

Social life should be like this, so I decided to ask what I was curious about.

“Anyway, it’s been a while. So how have you been?”

“Me? Have you ever wondered how I’ve been?”

“By the way… … ?”

“Then I will tell you!”

Soon, Erwen, like a bird, recounted nonstop what had happened during the breakup.

Most of them were related to the labyrinth.

Climbing the floor with my sister, slaying monsters and absorbing new essence. Oh, did you usually just stay in your room and practice day and night?

“Look at this! Now I can handle all the Four Spirits! Three of them have even finished flowering!”

“What? three?”

“yes! I worked very, very hard!”

To be honest, I was a little surprised too.

No matter how much I grew up as if I was raising a daughter-in-law with my older sister, it was difficult to see the achievements achieved in just a few months.

‘Is this talent?’

It’s different for me in many ways.

If I became stronger with advanced essences and equipment, he was really trained and his abilities blossomed.

‘It’s been less than a year, but she’s a bow fairy who succeeded in flowering with three attributes… … .’

This is definitely precious.

If all four attributes can bloom, ‘it’ will be possible in the second half.

‘Zep, if it wasn’t for my sister, I could have put her in as a colleague.’

It’s a pity that I feel like I’ve lost some talent.

But I decided not to say anything.

He’s not going to start a team right now anyway, and there’s no way he’s going to leave his family anyway.

“Anyway, I’m glad you were busy training. I thought I couldn’t come because I moved. There were times when you too were focused on growth rather than me.”

“Oh, it’s not really like that… … .”

“Yeah, Bjorn is right. If you haven’t even been in your first year yet, should you start looking for your own way?”

Soon after, Misha, who had been silently listening to the conversation, stood up and wrapped her arms around Erwen’s shoulder.

Then Erwen stiffened and—

“yes… … .”

He nodded helplessly.

Was it because of her mood that she seemed to be staring at Misha?

I suddenly remembered the atmosphere when I first entered the room, so I asked, albeit belatedly.

“Oh, so what happened to the two of you while I was away?”

Actually, I was curious from the beginning.

However, at my question, Misha naturally tilted her head.

It was as if I had heard a strange question.

“yes? Did nothing happen?”

“Did nothing happen? I thought we were even fighting—”

“Nyaha! There’s no way you can fight. how close we became Right, Erwen?”

“Yes, Mr. Karlstein… … .”

“What about Mr. Karlstein? Just call me sister.”

“Yes, sister… … .”

It’s as if Iljin unnie is taking an innocent girl into an alley.

It sure seems like something is there, but… … .

As long as they keep their mouths shut, it seems difficult to get the answers they want by asking questions.

‘I’m slowly trying to figure out what happened… … .’

The two passed by and the window was wide open.

The sky was clear of dark clouds. Sunlight shines on the wet street.

Therefore, I issued a congratulatory order.

“The rain must have stopped, then both of you should go out. Now I need to wash up and get some rest.”

For some reason, fatigue was rushing in.

***

After leaving the uncle’s room.

Erwen ran into a difficult situation.

“Eh? Are you heading this way too?”

“Yes, how?”

“Then go first. I’ll be there a little later.”

The direction is the same as the Beast-in woman.

Well, fortunately, this woman didn’t want to go with me either, but… … .

“Then you go first. I will go later.”

“hate. You go first.”

This is the biggest problem.

leaving later?

how do you believe that

As soon as it disappears somehow, it seems like it will turn around and go to the uncle’s room. From the looks of it, it was clear that this woman had the same suspicions as herself.

“ha… … .”

Erwen and Misha sighed at the same time.

“Then shall we go together?”

“Yeah, that would be better.”

On the way back, there was only an awkward silence.

No one spoke to me first, and I just focused on walking.

That’s normal.

I said there was nothing wrong with you, but that’s not really the case.

[Well? Don’t you already know what I mean?]

When he heard those words, Erwen felt like a screw was throbbing and loosening from his head. My heart was beating like crazy in my nervousness, and I couldn’t stand it any longer.

So, without knowing, the words came out.

[This naughty cat… … !]

For the first time in my life, I spit abusive language at someone.

That wasn’t enough, and when he came to his senses, his hand was in contact with the dagger around his waist.

It was then that Erwen found out.

[Do you have a problem with your head?]

If it wasn’t for that word, I’m sure it would have been after swinging the dagger to come to my senses.

The beast woman was strong.

Not because of my mood, really.

Fairies, who are naturally sensitive to the senses, can feel the spiritual powers of others.

‘Double than me… No, maybe three times.’

There was a lot of difference in spiritual power.

It means that more high-grade essences have been absorbed. You could also feel it through the force and posture you exhale.

The moment I realized this, I felt dizzy.

Missha Karlstein.

This woman is the enemy.

But you can’t win by fighting.

That is, it will be stolen.

Just like then, this time, something precious.

yes it is stolen

A feeling of separation from reason raged.

The momentary memory engraved in his brain paralyzed Erwen’s thinking.

I was engrossed in emotions, and my mouth moved at will.

[Please don’t take it away… … . please… … .]

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Miserable begging.

If I had been sane, I would never have said it.

Those words came out one after another.

[What… … ?]

Even the woman who had been staring at him with cold eyes opened her mouth as if it was ridiculous.

Erwen also knew in his head how ugly and bizarre he would appear now.

However… … .

I used to think that if I could protect what was precious, I could do even worse things. No, I might have actually knelt down in tears and prayed.

rattle.

If only the uncle had not arrived just in time.

[Uh-huh! mister… … !!]

Erwen shook his head as if to shake off his thoughts.

It was a shameful memory that I didn’t even want to think about.

For some reason, it becomes difficult to think rationally when an uncle is involved.

‘… … You must have looked like a strange woman, didn’t you?’

Blushing at the rising shame, Erwen glanced at Misha.

She was now at a crossroads.

“I’m over there now, where are you going?”

“Fortunately… … It’s the other way around.”

“Um, that’s right… … .”

The time had come to break free from the awkward silence, but both stood still and looked at each other, unable to take their feet off their feet.

It was Misha who opened her mouth first.

“you… … Will you come tomorrow too?”

“By the way.”

“ha… … How could I really… … .”

Misha touched her forehead as if she couldn’t believe she was in such a situation.

It was the same with Erwen who didn’t realize it.

Until I ran here, I just wanted to meet you and have a good laugh.

“Anyway, I will go. you go right Do you understand?”

“there… … .”

“yes?”

Erwen caught Misha as she headed to the other fork in the road.

I had something to say.

I really don’t like it though.

“… … thank you.”

“Thank you… … ?”

“What happened before, you didn’t tell uncle.”

“Did you take out a knife and try to attack me?”

“yes… … .”

As Erwen bowed her head, Misha sighed heavily.

“Okay, let’s make a promise.”

“A promise?”

“Even if you don’t come anyway, won’t you come? So, what we’re doing together is a secret from Bjorn. that… … You’re like me, but… … Well, I guess I don’t want to worry about something like this for nothing.”

“… … like.”

“Then I will go. Do you really have to go home, too?”

“yes.”

Soon after, Erwen separated from Misha and headed home.

It was quite a distance, but it didn’t feel long because of the complexity in my head.

As soon as I opened the door, my sister greeted me.

With a look of concern for something.

“Erwen.”

“Sister… … .”

Erwen fell into her sister’s arms.

“that person… … Have you met?”

“Yes. He was really alive.”

“That, yes… … ? Good.”

She pampered her in her sister’s arms for a long time as if consoled.

And I got my heart broken again.

“Sister, I will become stronger.”

“I’m getting stronger… … ?”

“yes. What’s weird?”

“No, I don’t want to practice anymore… … .”

At her sister’s meaningful words, Erwen tilted her head.

Why did you stop training yourself?

Well, when I just found out that Uncle was alive, the years of training in the room felt meaningless… … .

“I have someone I must win.”

Erwen felt a burning desire rather than before.

“So, help me a lot from now on, sister.”

If you don’t want to be the loser.

If you’re the one who steals it, that’s it.
