130 episodes Karlstein (4)
What does the owner really want from me?
This part continued to be questionable.
I have some guesses, but should I say that I’m not at the stage to be sure?
So plan B.
I made a plan to come out in front of everyone.
Because it’s the most unwelcome thing to do in the current situation.
‘Cancer, the original check was to prevent the opponent from doing what he was trying to do.’
Gaju wanted to keep Misha’s success in awakening a secret, both inside and outside. So, before Plan B was made, he showed his face.
And the result of continuing the barbarian conversation.
Finally, I was able to hear the unwrapped true feelings.
“I know you used it.”
Frost Spirit Ring.
A number item that allows you to make a definitive contract with the glacial beast, Skadia, when Hidden Peace is activated.
‘It’s not strange if you know about the chief of the tribe.’
It was the number of cases I had already considered in the first place.
There is no reason to treat Misha as someone else’s child, unless you think you wrote ‘that thing’.
However, the family is also not at the stage of certainty.
“Is that the thing? What are you talking about?”
A twenty-five-year-old beast of the Red Cat.
The probability of signing a natural contract with Skadia on this condition is close to 0%, but… … .
Close and 0 are completely different.
“Hmm.”
So you’re thinking like this.
There is heart disease, but there is no confirmation.
“Hey, is the smoke clumsy?”
It’s cumbersome asshole.
I’ve cheated a few people so far.
“What do you mean? Speak so I can understand.”
“You’re talking about the ‘thing’ that allows you to sign a contract with the Ice Beast Skadia. You can never say you don’t know?”
Ga-ju is staring at me with eyes telling me not to lie because I know everything.
Does the barbarian look like an asshole?
“Is there such a thing? Then why didn’t you give it to Misha?”
“Because it is very valuable. I can’t give it to someone who isn’t my child.”
As soon as I heard that, I unintentionally started to check on Misha.
As expected, she looked like she was about to cry.
But, I’ll do it later to comfort you.
I continued acting as a barbarian who knew nothing.
“Something worthwhile? So, isn’t that even weirder? How could I have such a thing?”
“Well, maybe you got it by chance at the horse tower you used to frequent.”
what the fuck
Do you really know everything?
Without realizing it, my body stiffened.
So, to make up for the mistake, I decided to look at Gaju at all.
“… … Did you even do a background check on me?”
A barbarian who was just mad at the act of crossing the line.
If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be so awkward to just act—
“Didn’t you say The smoke is clumsy.”
Jill, I believe in my acting skills.
I didn’t budge and asked annoyed.
“So what is that thing? Why do you keep being so annoying?”
“I can’t tell you that.”
“What?”
“Didn’t you keep saying it wasn’t you? It’s something that shouldn’t be known to the outside world. If you admit it, then I will tell you.”
huh? what?
There was no contradiction in Gaju’s words.
If you’re just thinking about it, it’s natural that it’s difficult to even tell the name of the object.
However… … .
‘Why the hell is this weird?’
A sense of incongruity oozes out.
The intuition that defeated the chews who tried to float countless times say that.
“Did the thing really exist? Doesn’t it actually have a different purpose?”
So I asked again.
Then, with all his nerves, he carefully observed the maiden.
A moment’s hesitation, a change in the facial muscles. Where are your eyes and what is your voice?
“Of course. What other purpose do you have?”
I’m not an expert, but I looked at every moment of those short words with suspicion.
Then I realized it instinctively.
Gaju is now lying.
‘Ha, yes, this was it.’
Thanks to you, the last question I had was solved.
Thinking about it could have been possible in another way.
“Tell me honestly. If you’re keeping your mouth shut because you’re worried about this kid, I’ll solve the problem for you.”
Why does Gaju even make such contradictory statements?
Everything is explained.
If it wasn’t Missha, but ‘the thing’ itself was the purpose.
‘Somehow, they keep saying ‘that thing’.’
Eventually I was sure.
Gaju knew about the ring of the Frost Spirit.
only half as much.
‘I know that such a thing exists, but I don’t know what it is.’
Finally, the situation is pictured in my head.
The governor invited me to the mansion.
Whether or not Misha was the real daughter was pretty good.
It didn’t seem like he was that passionate about his son at first.
This purpose was different.
An item that can definitely be contracted with a soul beast.
Anyway, if I really knew anything about this stuff, I wanted to find out.
That must have been so important information that it was difficult to convert it into value.
So I brought Misha’s miserable situation, which I judged to be my Achilles heel, right before my eyes.
It must have been intended to be used for trade or intimidation purposes.
therefore… … .
“For the honor of a warrior, I don’t know about such things.”
Throw in the number of conversions you have saved.
The oath of that warrior that shines in the number one reason why the barbarian I selected is a fraudster.
“… … .”
The emotion of embarrassment is deeply engraved in Ga-ju’s eyes.
After confirming this, I shoved it into the last room before I missed the timing.
“But I will definitely find out what it is. So wait.”
Whispering as if holding back anger, I checked Gaju’s expression.
There was a glimmer of deep disappointment in his eyes.
Well, acting is the worst.
***
“Forget all the conversations we had today.”
At the end of the notice from Gaju, he escaped from Karlstein’s mansion. Misha had a blank expression on her face from before, and I didn’t even bother talking to her.
Because I still had something to think about.
‘After all, it didn’t go to the worst.’
When I heard Karlstein’s invitation, I gladly accepted it for two reasons.
1. Misha’s escape.
If the headmaster was trying to get Misha into a large clan, it had to be stopped. After Erwen and Ainar, are you leaving for Misha, whom you barely raised?
Isn’t it terrible to even think about it?
2. Prevention of suspicion of evil spirits.
If the headmaster knew the secrets behind Misha’s awakening, it was necessary to visit them once in order to properly cover them up.
I didn’t know that he would have called me because he only knew half of it.
cut profit.
As we passed the garden, the gatekeeper recognized us and opened the gate wide. It was the first face I had ever seen, probably because he had gone to rest after receiving treatment.
But, did they recognize me?
“Ah, good-bye.”
When their eyes meet, they bow briefly and even serve as a see-off.
The mansion where Misha would have lived from her childhood until she became an adult.
The managed garden was bright, and the fountain sparkled with splendid streams of water.
The house wasn’t much different either.
Unlike the inn I stayed at, the architecture was old-fashioned and had a grand style.
However… … .
The dark malice surrounding the mansion did not change.
It feels like seeing a dungeon full of monsters, just like when I first saw this place.
I felt it again.
Yes, he survived here.
for that long time.
“Good job.”
When she patted her on the back and said, Misha came to her senses and shook her head.
“Oh, no. You did all the hard work… … .”
Well, I didn’t mean it that way.
“Still, weren’t you the one who suffered the most?”
I smiled and patted my back once more.
“Ouch! It hurts!”
Yeah, it’s kind of normal now.
“If you come to your senses, take the lead now. I don’t know the way back.”
“Ha, really… … What are you going to do without me?”
“I wouldn’t have come to a place where I don’t know the way.”
“… … 👌👌👌.”
We walked the streets of the beasts while having a meaningless conversation.
Harmony was seen everywhere.
“Dad, that barbarian over there!”
Beasts walking around as if going out on a family outing, laughing and talking happily.
“Bjorn, we eat that too.”
“Why do you eat outside?”
“Um, what… … Did you have a hard time today?”
Soon, I stopped by a street vendor with Misha, bought some snacks, and sat on a bench in the square. It won’t be a problem if you hold it in your hand and eat it while moving… … .
It wouldn’t hurt to take a break for a while.
“It’s okay, Bjorn.”
“Tell me.”
“Why didn’t you ever ask?”
“What?”
Watching the beasts passing by and resting quietly for a while.

Misha has asked me a question.
“Aren’t you even curious?”
“So what?”
“that… … Am I really my father’s child… … .”
What did you say and this was it.
I smiled and looked at Misha.
There was nothing wrong with it, but Misha, who asked the question, bowed her head and looked at the floor.
“I’m not curious.”
“really? None?”
“Yeah, what does it matter?”
“Wow, you really don’t care about me… … .”
What is it, boy?
I stopped trying to hit my back.
‘I didn’t say I was sick.’
I wanted to try messing up my hair like a cartoon, but I stopped because I was cramped.
I lost my way and my hands were on my knees again.
I also looked elsewhere and said to Misha.
The name is a colleague, but the misunderstanding must be resolved.
“It’s not that I’m not interested, it’s that it’s not really important.”
“yes?”
“Level 7 Explorer Mischa Karlstein. is that you It doesn’t matter who your parents are. Being a colleague you can trust and rely on doesn’t change.”
“Wow… … .”

Misha opened her mouth as if she had heard a strange word.
And he smiled and looked at me.
“What did you think of those words?”
“… … Do you want to fight?”
If so, I’m glad
I must have rested enough now. I was about to get up, but Misha grabbed my sleeve.
“Bjorn.”
“why?”
“This is a secret, are you only telling me?”
“Okay, tell me quickly.”
“me… … Actually, half a penny is correct. my mom told me before you die. Saying I’m really sorry.”
Ah, uh, um… … .
I was contemplating how to respond, and decided to just nod my head.
“… … Right.”
“what? Why aren’t you surprised?”
‘Cause I already knew
I didn’t even know about these details.
“It’s not that important, is it?”
“Hey, a barbarian who doesn’t even have this feeling!”
Soon we got up from our seats.
Then he left the Holy Land and entered the city, and arrived at a place where there was a public platform.
Just when I bought a ticket and waited for the carriage.
“Oh right. how did that happen? You swore in front of your father earlier. That’s obviously… … .”

Misha wiggles her tail.
I was genuinely perplexed.
I didn’t even think about whether it was because he became so comfortable, or because he had a lot to think about because he was in front of the head.
“it… … Was it a lie?”
I sighed and nodded my head.
What are you going to hide while you know everything anyway?
You just have to fix it well.
“Yeah, that was a lie. Because you are more important than the honor of a warrior.”
“… … Is that really?”
“okay.”

Misha didn’t say anything for a long time after that.
A time full of anxiety followed.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I hope you don’t think it’s weird, right?
It was a moment when I wanted to talk to him about anything at such a suffocating moment.
“ah!”

Misha jumped up.
And he spit out an unfamiliar sound.
“I have something I left at home, so I’m going to go!”
“… … what? The carriage is coming soon—”
“Go ride first!”
disappeared in a flash.
… … what?
I wonder if I’m screwed?

Sreak, Sreak.
Albreniv Karlstein.
He sat down in the study and turned the pages of the book with a slightly hasty gesture.
And I finally found the part I was looking for.
[No… … ]
… … … … … … … … … … … You can make a contract with the city glacial beast Skadia.
An explanatory text where only one sentence can be read because it has been completely torn.
All doubts began with this book.
[Announcement of Artifacts VI]
This book contains descriptions of hundreds of numbered items.
And the important point here is that the explanation is never wrong.
The book of the synopsis is such a book.
A book of truth in which even discussing its value is meaningless.
‘If I had not known this, I would have been purely delighted.’
When the child is said to have awakened.
To be honest, I was happy.
Because I thought I didn’t have to hide the wealth of the family anymore.
[It’s Skadia, the glacial hippopotamus.]
The number of souls contracted was a problem.
Is this really a coincidence?
I couldn’t get rid of the uneasiness somehow.
So, I thought about the child several times, and quickly came to a conclusion.
The child did not wake up naturally.
If your predictions were correct, you were helped.
Perhaps to that barbarian named Bjorn Yandel.
[I can’t say anything about Rain and Bjorn. Sue made an oath to the guardian deity… … .]
However, the child refused the conversation, citing the oath of the guardian deity.
Coercion doesn’t exist, and it has no meaning now that tradition has faded.
The child who had never been able to defy properly once lied by making such excuses for the first time.
Only then will it be difficult to get a proper answer.
[I’d rather dig that barbarian.]
He turned to the chase.
Then, suspicious circumstances continued to emerge.
The barbarian was friendly with the sorcerer of the Artemion school.
Arua Raven.
Coincidentally, it was the person he remembered.
Because it was a competitor I met while wandering around to get another ‘Gunhaerok’.
Then a hypothesis arose.
What if the wizard got the ‘Relics of the Relics’?
So what if you saw it and reported it to the barbarian?
[It makes a lot more sense.]
Rather than the daring wizard girl, he decided to aim for a barbarian. As a result of the investigation, it seems that the relationship is almost like a couple, so it would be more convenient to use the child.
However… … .
‘It must have been a natural awakening.’
I didn’t believe in oaths.
The barbarian was not acting.
It was an expression that he didn’t really know, and he felt a feeling of lamenting his ignorance for the child.
‘It’s fun. That there was talent in that little blood.’
As the thought got there, someone knocked on the door.
It was the assistant Beros.
“Mischa Karlstein is asking to see the Lord.”
“Is that kid? Come on in.”
After a short wait, the aide left and the child came in.
“I… … There’s something I couldn’t say before—”
“Oh, if that’s the case, don’t worry. I will keep my promise. No one will ever think you are not part of our family.”
Strangely, the child did not respond.
I thought you’d be a little more happy.
He added a word to my friend.
“Now you are my daughter.”
The words that the child who felt lack and loved and hated the most wished and wished the most.
But it was the same this time.
“… … Why don’t you say anything?”
“I didn’t come here for that… … !”
“What?”
Unknowingly, I was taken aback by the rude tone of voice.
What do you mean by this change?
Without a moment to adjust, the child looked at him head-on.
“father. No, not even my father. like that? In fact, we didn’t mix a drop of blood.”
“What?”
He was genuinely perplexed.
Not because I didn’t know it, but because I never expected it to come out of this kid’s mouth.
“My mom told me before she died. Actually, I’m not of Karlstein’s bloodline. I’m here to tell you this. I hate you… … It’s pitiful.”
Is it because it’s something you’ve never really imagined?
I wasn’t even mad at that blunt remark.
I was just curious.
“Why the hell are you doing this?”
He knows who Misha’s biological father is.
He thought that dying in the labyrinth would solve all problems.
However… … .
“If you hadn’t said that, I thought I would have really accepted you as a member of the family.”
Given what he so desperately wanted, why does this child refuse it?
“Why? Why am I throwing my chance into my own hands?”
As if it wasn’t even worth answering, the boy turned his back and headed for the door.
But was there a change of heart in the end?
I just turned my head and said to him.
“just… … I wanted to!”
It was something he could never understand.
