119 Fire Dark Clouds (3)
In the end, this expedition was all-stopped after the troll war.
This is because Dwalky’s condition has hardly improved.
[Even if I take more potions, it won’t get better or worse. Because not all people’s bodies are as strong as yours.]
Without correction of natural regenerative power, it takes time for the muscles and bones to settle into place even after the wound has completely healed.
So, as soon as we returned to the city, we had to run past the checkpoint and run from the temple.
Unlike Rottmiller, Dwalkie wasn’t at a level that could be resolved with time.
“Huh, I think I’m going to live a little now… … .”
After being unable to stand up for a whole week, Dwalkie received ‘Advanced Healing’ and finally succeeded in standing alone.
“Are there any after-effects? The treatment was delayed, so I was worried inside… … .”
“Haha, don’t worry. My condition has improved enough to enter the labyrinth right now.”
“Then you are lucky.”
Perhaps it was thanks to the early suppression with the highest quality potion, Dwalkie became as active as usual with a single shot of divine power.
Thank you for alleviating my worries.
If there are any after-effects, it will interfere with the next expedition.
“Then let’s meet again in two days, then go back and rest for today.”
In fact, the manastones acquired by the entire team were few, so the distribution was postponed until after receiving the quest completion payment and disbanded.
‘Well, about 400,000 stones per person?’
You’ll have to share the exact details, but if you sell all of the Frogman Shaman’s byproducts and divide them into halves, it’ll be about that much.
It’s been promised to give 200,000 tons of each potion.
‘Who, you fucking troll bastard.’
Losing a goal because of this bastard is no joke.
It is clear that repair costs will be quite high to avoid bent equipment.
If I had caused that hardship, I would spit out the essence.
It’s a shame because I made a lot of money in front, otherwise I would have come back at a loss.
“Bjorn, what are you going to do now?”
“Once I go to my dorm, I wash up and then I go to organize my things. Oh, of course you too.”
“Yes? me too… … ?”
“Didn’t you rest well in the labyrinth? Don’t even think about it.”
“Didn’t you think of that? Anyway, I’m too lazy to go to my dorm, but can I just do the washing up at your dorm?”
“Of course.”
I moved to my dorm with Misha because there was no need to waste traffic.
And I washed up first.
I need to move quickly to get to the business district before the wagon runs out.
“Eh? Have you already washed everything?”
“You can wash it slowly. It will take quite a while to get everything sorted anyway.”
“Oh, really?”
After that, after putting Misha into the bathroom, he arranged and organized the loot he had obtained this time by himself.
Equipment and consumables obtained by killing the trio who were aiming for Zencia and the baby barbarian.
‘I think we can sell this, keep this and use it… … .’
As I was writing a list on paper and organizing it well, someone knocked on the door.
“Are you in there?”
It was the first man’s voice I had ever heard.
After doing something, I opened the door and saw a man wearing an Explorers’ Guild employee badge.
“Are you Bjorn Yandel?”
“… … right.”
“Would you like to go to the guild with me?”
Fuck, all of a sudden?
Hearing similar words and following along, the memories of being imprisoned came to mind, and I felt like shit… … .
Looking at the tone of voice and facial expressions of the staff, it seems that the situation is definitely different from that time.
The guard chicks are nowhere to be seen.
I decided to calmly understand the situation first.
“Tell me what happened. If you don’t go, then you decide.”
“Oh, you didn’t tell me that first.”
The staff member said goodbye and then carefully explained the situation.
“… … witness?”
“Yes, Yandel will prove that he is not a predator… … .”
Baby Barbarian is in danger.
***
“Originally, such a request would not be accepted, but as you know, all relevant regulations have become stricter since ‘the incident’… … . I know it’s rude, but I came to check it out. If you have nothing to do with him, you can just say no—”
“Branch.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll just change clothes and come out, so wait.”
Once I closed the door, I put my coat on.
And she informed Misha, who was taking a shower, that she was going out.
“Misha, today’s schedule is cancelled.”
“What? Why all of a sudden?”
“There seems to be something wrong with Karon. I’ll be going to the Explorers’ Guild for a while, so go home after you’ve washed up.”
“What? what does that mean… … ! No, a little more—!”
“I would have waited. Come on.”
“Is that bothering you so much, you barbarian senility!!”
Anyway, it’s Misha’s cry that stabs the core.
I headed to the guild with the staff who were waiting outside.
Coincidentally, it was the branch where I had escaped from.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here.”
“Yes? Oh yeah… … . Come in. The branch manager is waiting for you.”
“The branch manager… … ?”
I looked around and thought about the past for a while, and when I followed the staff to the 3rd floor, I saw Karon sleeping on the sofa.
On the other side, the branch manager with a mustache is sitting.
With a very uncomfortable expression.
“Oh, how are you?”
“… … Thanks to.”
Well, that’s blunt.
Still, it doesn’t seem as bad as I thought. If Charon had really been driven as a looter, he would have been imprisoned in a dungeon instead of sleeping here.
Loud rumble-!
First of all, I woke up Charon.
No, is it a bit too much to say that I woke up?
“Charon, don’t pretend to sleep and get up. There is no need for that here.”
At my words, the branch manager and the staff tilted their heads at the same time, and then Charon slowly opened his eyes.
“… … How did you know?”
how do you know how do you know
After saying such a meaningful word at the end, he disappeared.
“Somehow, if you… It seemed so.”
“Do you mean to be recognized as a warrior?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
As soon as I nodded my head, Charon smiled genuinely happily and greeted me on the shoulder.
“Anyway, thank you for coming. Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
“It is natural. Have you ever suffered anything bad from them?”
“It didn’t happen, so don’t worry. If so, would this friend ever be here?”
Well, that’s right.
But I didn’t ask you.
“Charon, answer me.”
“There was no such thing.”
“Right.”
I nodded my head and grinned.
This is why precedent is important.
If I hadn’t dropped that bastard, would they have treated me so well?
dump.
In that sense, he does not ask for permission and sits comfortably on the sofa. Maybe the branch manager has forgotten who I am.
“I do it with rum.”
“Am I discriminating against being a barbarian?”
The branch manager let out a long sigh.
“Whew… No alcohol. If it’s tea, I can give it to you—”
“Cold water. Floating ice cubes.”
“I do… … .”
Are humans still learning creatures?
Instead of pointing out my unanswered words and actions, the branch manager meekly gave me what I wanted.
I realized with my whole body how to deal with ignorant barbarians.
‘The barbarian is a real scammer.’
As I put my dusty feet on the expensive looking tabletop, Charon looked at me with bright eyes.
“Also you… A great warrior… … .”
It seems that it was quite impressive to act as an unannounced person in front of a person whose name is equal to that of the head of the Explorers’ Guild.
Well, this seems to be the case with the branch manager as well.
When I see you drop your mustache as if you’re not praying.
“You really… … .”
“Well, do you have something to say?”
“… None.”
The branch manager lowered his tail as soon as he asked the question as if growling.
eating.
It was the reaction I had expected.
Because a lot has changed since I saw it before.
He wasn’t the level 9 barbarian he had at the time.
“I heard your rumors. It’s called Little Balkan, isn’t it?”
In just a few months, he became a level 6 explorer.
An explorer famous for the future who even got a nickname.
I am also close with Baron Martouan, and there are even rumors that the Count is watching me closely.
Also, if you’ve watched me, you’d know that I went in and out of the tower every week because of Raven’s research.
Of course, something else is important.
“Here is ice water… … .”
I got stronger.
Just one second is enough to turn the head of this branch manager into a ruptured tomato.
Well, in the middle of a city where the law precedes violence, what do you know? At least the branch manager would think I’m not the kind of bastard to care about that.
“Let’s put aside the noise and get to the point. What will Charon do now?”
When I asked, pushing the ice water I had ordered at the most, the branch manager shrugged.
“… nothing. If you want, you can leave that friend alone. Because it was confirmed through a wizard that it was in self-defense.”
“… … What?”
I was stunned for a moment at the unexpected cool answer.
‘Have you checked with the wizard already?’
It certainly wasn’t strange.
Because he’s not as strong as I am.
Without having to call me, one magic would have been able to determine whether Charon’s words were true or not.
But, that’s what it means.
‘It wasn’t Charon, it was me.’
I quickly finished figuring it out.
Yeah, that’s what the Explorers’ Guild is like.
Now, my heart is starting to pound a little.
“Charon, you have to leave.”
“Is that okay? I was hungry… … .”
“If you skip meals, you will not grow taller. Come on.”
“i get it! See you next time, Bjorn son of Yandel!”
First of all, it was sent out from Karon.
I didn’t know what it was, but I had a feeling that the branch manager wanted fewer people to listen to it.
“Audrian-kun, you did a great job. You go down too.”
“Yes, branch manager.”
Soon after, the staff who guided me and even brought me ice water left, leaving only the two of us in the branch manager’s office.
“… … .”
No one spoke and there was a natural silence.
I didn’t rush and waited for him to speak first.
“The reason is?”
“Young lady Urbans wants to meet you.”
“Are you an Urbans young girl? Who is it?”
As she stares at her with a look of hope for a detailed explanation, the branch manager asks a question as if it’s absurd.
“Are you serious? You really don’t remember the one you took hostage?”
Ah, the daughter of the regional chief.
Shiba, I’d say that sooner or later.
“… … I guess you haven’t completely forgotten about it though?”
“Hmm, anyway, so why is that woman trying to meet me?”
“Well, that will come naturally when we meet—”
What do you mean, where do you get rice cakes?
“Then don’t refuse.”
“What?”
“You’re hungry every day, where do you have time to waste?”
As if the conversation was over, he stood up, and the branch manager hurriedly resumed his speech.
“… … I can’t say for a long time, but it will never hurt you. Rather, it would have been helpful.”
Well, seeing you do this, I don’t think you’ll vomit other information if you do more.
‘The woman who was held hostage wants to see me… … .’
There was nothing to worry about.
“Tell me no!”
Well, I’m still busy, but I’m going to die.
The annoying thing is the specifications.
***
In the middle of the street in broad daylight.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha… … .”
Erwen was running through the crowd.
Sweat was already seeping into the body that had been washed clean at the best, as well as the skirt I took out after a while… … .
‘uh… … Doesn’t it smell?’
Well, it will be fine though.
Isn’t it a relationship that we showed each other even more than this?
First of all, meeting him was more important to her.
‘… … He was still alive!’
At the same time as the blissful fact, I also felt a sense of shame.
Bjorn, son of Yandel.
The first friend she met, and a barbarian who saved her when she was wandering alone in the labyrinth.
The person who disappeared from my sight before repaying the favor, and I only thought he was dead.
I thought I was alone and locked myself in the room, like a fool.
‘You must have become so famous… … .’
There was no need to ask questions.
After returning to the city, I only asked a few people, most of whom knew his name.
One of them even knew the location of the hostel he was staying in.
‘Oh, wait… … Then why didn’t you say anything?’
I suddenly had that thought, but Erwen did not delve deeply into it.
you haven’t heard
There’s no way my sister deliberately hid it.
It wasn’t even important right now.
‘Oh, what should I say when we meet? If you think about it, at some point I disappeared.’

My heart was pounding non-stop.
It really is a pleasant sound that I haven’t felt in a long time.
I didn’t want to watch the sun rise and set, so I closed the curtains the whole time, but the sunlight that touched my skin was warm and cozy today.
‘Let’s apologize first. I’m sure he must have been looking for me too. Maybe it was because he couldn’t remember where our dorm was.’
Arriving at her destination soon, Erwen prepared her thoughts for the upcoming meeting.
And after refining the disheveled clothes.
knocked on the door
thump, thump.
I heard the sound of walking inside.
And it quickly got close.
pounding!
It felt like my heart would explode.
I wanted to meet you and chat like before. Just like back then, when we talked about each other’s daily life and laughed and chatted.
‘Would you be surprised if you found out that I was able to command all the Four Spirits? Uh no… You’re much stronger than me, so why not brag about this?’
I was a little worried, but in the end, I’ll be commended.
You did well, you had a lot of trouble.
It’s not anyone else, it’s an uncle, so it must be.
“Hi-Hi… … .”
It was then that the corners of my lips went up at that thought.
Bump.
Finally the door opened.
But, what else is this?
“Eh? Who are you?”
The door was opened and there was only one person who came out.
A member of the Myo tribe with a triangular ear on his head.
Erwen checked the number on the door.
201.
It didn’t come by mistake.
Since I had asked several times to confirm, there was no way I could have heard it wrong. So, what did the person who told you do wrong?
Well, I guess it is.
Still, it could be the next room, so let’s ask. He’s such a famous man, but if you live in the same dormitory, you’d know for sure.
“I wonder if it’s my uncle… No, do you know which room Bjorn Jandel is staying in?”
“yes? Were you a Bjorn guest?”
“yes? What do you mean… … .”
“If it’s Bjorn, you washed up a little while ago, but will you come in and wait?”
I said I washed up a while ago… … ?
No, wait a minute before that… If you’re talking about this woman, doesn’t this mean that this is your uncle’s room?
It was confusing.
What’s going on?
“Or, tell me who it is. When Bjorn comes back later, I will tell you that someone has come.”
Isn’t it like they’re even living together? Erwen raised his head blankly and checked Suin’s face once again.
it was pretty
Even from the fact that she came from the fairy tribe, she couldn’t argue with anything.
and… … .
dripping.
Red hair was dripping down.
As if it had just been washed.
“Didn’t you say that you went out after washing up a while ago?”
“Yeah, but why?”
The corners of Erwen’s lips twisted in response as if there was something wrong.
Of course, it didn’t last long.
“no. nothing Can I go inside and wait?”
“Uh, yes… … ?”
Soon she entered the room.
It was messy with the loot lying on the floor.
“It’s a bit messy… … ? I don’t normally do this… … .”
“I know. what is this Because I did it with you too.”
“yes? did you do it? Ahh… … Are you also an explorer?”
“yes.”
“Hey, don’t make a strange misunderstanding, right? All this from the marauders—”
“Do not worry. I don’t get it wrong.”
Erwen cut off Suin’s words and focused on the throbbing of her heart.
And with a bright smile, he continued.
“If you covet other people’s things, shouldn’t you be punished?”

My heart, which had been beating hot until just a moment ago, suddenly cooled.
“Just say, it wasn’t you”
