Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 131

131 episodes team play (1)

Ten days have passed since I visited Karlstein.

On the first day, I was worried that Misha might have told her father everything, but… … .

[What? crazy! This barbarian senility! How could you say something like that!!]

[Then what did you do?]

[that… … ! You didn’t even know!!]

It was some anxiety.

I don’t know why they kept it a secret, but I could definitely feel that there was no such thing.

I decided to focus on the issues that need to be addressed right away.

There are as many as two time bombs in the team.

[Dwalkie, talk to me.]

The day after returning from Karlstein, I immediately met Dwalky.

Then he drank and said around.

[What? Is it true? That Missha likes fat men?]

[Yeah, I definitely said that last time.]

[Yeah, that’s right. Thanks for telling me. Joe, I think I almost made a mistake in my haste.]

For your reference, after that conversation, Dwalky ate a bunch of snacks and stuffed them until their stomachs became convex.

This was one solution.

‘I won’t confess until I gain some weight.’

It is safe to say that you have earned at least a month or two.

Due to the nature of Dwalkie, if he doesn’t gain a lot of weight, he won’t be able to have the courage.

By the time I gained weight, it would be around the time when Misha and I were removed from the team.

‘That’s why I look so trash… … .’

I can’t help it though.

I don’t know if she’s mentally strong, but what if she confesses to Misha and gets kicked?

You won’t be able to get your mind right in the labyrinth.

This may pose a risk to the team.

‘Oh, but why are you so sure I’m kicking?’

I suddenly had a question like that, but I didn’t think deeply about it. Data accumulated in the unconscious can sometimes make accurate predictions above all else.

Anyway, it was Rottmiller.

[Look out. Because my father must have done something with that Rotmiller.]

The daughter of the regional chief, Julian Urbans.

As the woman said, if Rotmiller had contacted the regional chief, there was a high probability that an unsettling conversation had taken place.

Because the regional chief and I could be called a bad relationship.

It was a little questionable as to why he was only playing tricks after several months.

‘Anyway, you can’t give me a tea that is suspicious.’

In the case of Rotmiller, unlike Dwalkie, he approached the matter cautiously, with a delay.

this guy is scary

I’ve never seen him get angry, but… … .

No, that’s why it’s scarier.

Basically, once this type of thing goes wrong, it just ends.

[Then, according to the starting point on the first floor, we will make the nearest destination our destination.]

[Haha, getting married, you’re asking strange questions too. I don’t think I’m going to start a family until I can truly take care of one person.]

[You sit inside. Because the hallway is large, you will keep bumping into people.]

He continued to observe Rottmiller at regular meetings as well as simple social drinks.

There was no significant difference from before.

As usual, he was quiet and serious, and he was still considerate of others in most situations.

‘Ha, this really hurts my head.’

Even after hearing Julian’s warning, it’s hard to imagine Rottmiller hitting me in the back.

No, on the contrary, if you have doubts, even guilt will bloom.

That’s right, we’ve been together for a few months.

But are you swayed by a single word from an outsider and don’t believe it?

‘A contradiction must not be such a contradiction.’

The more I thought about it, the more ironic it was.

But the more it goes on, the more certain it is to point it out.

What kind of conversation did Rottmiller have with the regional leader at the Explorers Guild that day?

‘If I had told you about it first, I would have erased my doubts without any regrets.’

Rotmiller did not comment on this.

So, I called him out today and made a place to talk.

Because now I really don’t have much time.

Tomorrow the labyrinth will open.

So, I threw out the glass that I bumped into at once and went straight to the point.

“Rot Miller. What was the reason you went to the Explorers’ Guild last time?”

At my direct question, Rotmiller looked slightly startled.

But did he also have a straw?

Also, something must have happened.

“I know someone in the guild.”

After giving a brief answer, I asked for an answer to the first question.

Rotmiller sighed in reply.

“… … I called and went to see that the 7th district chief was in the room. He looked at me and offered me a reward to betray you.”

“therefore?”

“I came out saying that I would do what I didn’t hear. How about an answer?”

It seemed like he didn’t want to, but Rotmiller seemed very uncomfortable with my question.

But I took it all in and asked again.

“Then why didn’t you tell me until now?”

“Didn’t you say I said I would pretend I didn’t hear it. Besides, I thought it would only make the atmosphere weirder if I told you.”

“Right. Thanks for answering.”

With this, the conversation came to an end.

If I pushed it further, it would be nothing more than saying that I wouldn’t believe what you said. Whatever Rotmiller’s true intentions were, he decided that it was not a wise move.

‘Nothing will change anyway.’

You cannot enter the labyrinth without a explorer.

Option to find someone new?

There are risks involved, too.

If you don’t go through a guild, it’s difficult to find a skilled explorer.

In short, it is the perfect environment for the regional manager to insert a strange guy into the team.

At first, it was doubtful whether the dwarf or Dwalky would agree.

‘Above all, it doesn’t seem like a lie to say that Rotmiller turned down the offer.

Soon I made my final decision.

“Sorry to bother you at night. Get a good rest today, and see you at the meeting place tomorrow.”

nothing changes

Rottmiller will also accompany him on this expedition.

***

the next afternoon.

In other words, there are about 7 hours left before the labyrinth opens.

“Okay, then, I’ll go and find you! You must come back healthy!”

“Yeah, you work hard too.”

In the morning, Erwen, who had been playing the game at my dormitory since I formed the bondage magic with my sister, left.

And just in time, Misha arrived.

“What, why is he here?”

“I came to say hello. After all, once you receive the Binding Magic, there is nothing you can do.”

“Uh… … .”

“Anyway, it came on time. Come on, let’s go to sleep.”

I set a timer on the alarm clock I bought a while ago and slept with Missha and adjusted my condition.

and how long has it been

“Bjorn, get up.”

We simply packed our meals and went out with our luggage. I came a little early, so there was no one at the meeting place yet.

“Hmm, are you two yet?”

As usual, Rottmiller arrived on time.

“yes. Dwalky and Hikurod seem a little late.”

“… … It is not surprising.”

Those two came early or late, so we kept waiting.

That was the time.

“Oh, Bjorn! Look over there!”

When I checked where Misha was pointing, I saw young warriors who had just finished their coming-of-age ceremony moving in groups.

So I approached quickly.

Well, if I don’t see you anymore, I’ll be sad.

“Are you lost? Then you can follow those who look like explorers over there.”

“Who are you, do you say things like that?”

“… … Bjorn, son of Yandel.”

“What! Little Balkan! It is an honor to meet you!”

Once I said my name, I asked.

“But is it normal? What do you mean? Are you sure you haven’t lost your way?”

“Of course! Why do you get lost when you just follow the explorers as you learn in the Holy Land?”

“You said that in the Holy Land? Aren’t you going to show me that strange map and tell me to memorize it?”

“map? We don’t see maps like that!”

I was stunned at the young warrior’s answer.

What is this?

Did the teaching method change in the meantime?

Well, it wasn’t bad for me.

Because it was a much more reasonable way than memorizing the map to go.

but… … .

“There is still time, so go and listen to me.”

“story?”

“Yeah, those are helpful things.”

I told all the stories I had told the riders in the past.

But what else is this?

“Watch out for humans? That’s normal. We must protect our hearts.”

This pack of baby barbarians was clearly different from what they had ever been before.

Every time I say something, it’s like I have to say something obvious.

“Wow… … Barbarians have evolved.”

Seeing Misha doing that too, it seems I’m not the only one who felt strange.

So, why did this change happen?

“Who was it in the Holy Land who told me about it?”

I asked out of curiosity, and I just went blank.

“This is Charon son of Tarson!”

without me knowing

The winds of change were blowing from below.

“Then we will go! Bjorn son of Jandel, it was an honor to meet you!”

I wanted to ask something more, but the baby barbarians left saying they wanted to enter the labyrinth.

And as soon as they disappeared, the stranger they had been waiting for arrived at the meeting place.

“Oh, sorry for being late! Have you been waiting a long time?”

“Ha ha ha! Forgive me, Dwalkie. This dude has an upset stomach.”

“Wow, what, what are you talking about!”

“Hey, you too. Where’s the shame? It’s between us.”

“Okay, let’s go too.”

Since this person was late by as much as 20 minutes, we hurried to the Dimensional Square.

The portal is already open.

“Come on, let’s go!”

We entered the labyrinth after completing the bonding magic through Dwalky.

***

“You have entered the first-floor crystal cave.”

***

A crystal cave with a dazzling light.

Last month, I skipped it using a bug, so it was a sight I had not seen in a long time, but I did not have time to look around leisurely.

Well, this time I decided to try a speedrun.

At Rotmiller’s request.

[If only you allow it, I want to do it properly. It’s probably hard to get public values, but I’m curious to see how far I can make it.]

As he was usually not assertive in his exploration plans, everyone in the party agreed to do so unanimously.

“Then I will leave immediately.”

As soon as he opened his eyes, he touched the wall or the ground, grasped the current location, and immediately began to find his way.

And started running like a canter.

‘It’s actually pretty fun to do it.’

Rottmiller is standing in the forefront, looking for a way.

Immediately after that, Misha cleans up the mobs.

The formation only for movement was novel, and as soon as they started running in earnest, they saw sights that had never been seen before.

“Wow, he’s running too!”

Just like us, explorers running through the caves to find portals. It was difficult to even see when he moved slowly.

‘I can see why it is difficult to shorten the time on the first floor.’

There were also new facts.

The cave on the first floor has many sharp curves.

So it’s hard to run with all your might.

In other words, if it exceeds a certain level, the movement speed is the same for all explorers.

The skill of the explorer becomes more and more important.

Well, or the physical strength of the team members.

“Whoa, whoa… … .”

We have a physical strength that far exceeds that of ordinary people, but nevertheless, when we canter every few hours, sweat flows like rain.

Is that so?

Naturally, the conversation between the party disappeared.

“Hikurod, are you okay?”

“It’s okay.”

The dwarf, running with agility and endurance, seemed almost at the limit, but did not spit soft sounds.

Seriously, how could you say that in front of a Rottmiller like that?

“This way.”

Whether it was true that he wanted to push his limits, Rotmiller found his way without losing focus for hours.

In other words, passion.

To put it bluntly, the enthusiasm that makes it seem like madness.

‘Was this man such a hot person?’

While admiring the first appearance, I kept moving my feet.

And how long has it been?

[06:12]

We arrived at the portal in 6 hours.

Unfortunately, the portal had already been opened by someone.

“Wow, it could have come so soon.”

Misha exclaimed in exclamation, but me and the dwarf looked at Rottmiller’s expression first.

“Shit! Why am I… … !!”

It was the first time he made such an expression.
