211 Episode Reader (4)
“mister!!!!”
Erwen jumped out of the group of explorers and embraced one arm.
“thank god! I was very worried!!”
Huh, I didn’t know I was going to meet him here.
Of course, that’s not to say it’s bad.
I relaxed a bit and looked around.
When I saw her, Daria, her older sister, was also next to her.
‘No matter how you look at it, not all clan members are the same… … .’
At first, I wondered if it was the clan that Erwen entered as a mercenary.
But looking at it, it doesn’t seem like that.

Most of them have a clan mark, but not all of them. Also, each clan mark is different.
If so, how did this group come about?
“Miss Erwen, who is he?”
When a human woman, believed to be in her early thirties, lowered her arms and asked, Erwen also released her arms and turned her back.
“Do not worry. Someone I know! Oh, and my sister too! Right, sister?”
“… Right. The identity is certain, so you don’t have to worry about being on Noark’s side.”
“It’s good news to hear.”
After hearing Daria’s words, the woman instructed the vigilant explorers to lower their weapons.
Hmm, is this woman the general manager here?
“nice to meet you. This is Versil Gowland, the deputy leader of the Larre Clan.”
“This is Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
“Little Balkan… … ?”
As I shrugged, the woman looked at me with delighted eyes.
“This is a very great person.”
A compliment that naturally lifts me up.
If it had been an ordinary barbarian, he would have raised his shoulders to the fullest here.
Is this the leader’s dialogue?
“It’s going to be great. That’s more like what I’m supposed to say.”
I answered briefly and looked at the woman.
What I just said wasn’t polite, it was the truth.
“If it’s Larre, I know it’s a pretty big clan.”
It wasn’t even a teenage clan, but it was a clan that could be proudly said to be a large clan.
The peculiarity is that 80% of the clan members are women.
“I’m the vice-captain there… … .”
I met quite a giant in an unexpected place.
That said, I had no intention of playing a friendly game or anything.
“So what were you guys doing here?”
“I will explain.”
Versil, the deputy leader of the Larre Clan, briefly told the situation here as soon as the communion was over.
I heard you were in a similar situation to us.
As soon as they entered the labyrinth, they moved quickly to the second floor.
and… … .
“It happened.”
To assess the situation, Versil led the team back to the starting point.
However, that place was already nothing like Abigail.
So, as a temporary measure, she began to gather forces.
“All the people gathered here are people I met nearby. The identity is certain.”
“Are you sure?”
“I don’t know all of them, but they are friends across the bridge. Unfortunately, we have thoroughly excluded cases where this method cannot be used, so you can rest assured.”
Yeah, I don’t trust dog tags, so that’s how I did it.
As Erwen assured me.
They were a group that guaranteed each other and formed the least amount of trust.
“Our goal is simple.”
Versil, who described the group, then set out the goals the group wanted to move toward.
“Working together to protect us. Finally, breaking through the enemy and reaching the safe zone.”
“If it’s a safe zone, are you talking about the dark zone in the center?”
“Yeah, you know, it’s good to talk about it. Would you like to join us, Mr. Yandel?”
Was it because he became the deputy leader of a popular clan?
I feel like I’m used to dealing with people in every way I speak.
His personality seems to be quite cautious.
‘If you become a vice-chief, your skills will be considerable.’
After a brief deliberation, I accepted the offer of Versil.
“Okay, good luck in the future.”
In a chaotic situation where you don’t know how the day will end.
There was a nest to stay for a while.
***
“The guards do not need to stand, so please rest for a while. I’ll be leaving soon, but I’ll tell you then.”
I decided to receive Versil’s consideration with gratitude.
It was because I was desperate for a break.
fog obscuring the view.
A battle with people who are not monsters.
A chaotic situation that is difficult to predict even an inch ahead.
Physical fatigue is exhausting, but mental stress is enormous.
“Whatever, come here and rest.”
The unfamiliar explorers seemed awkward, so I went to an empty seat and sat down with my teammates.
And rest as it is.
“Still, it was really good. There’s no way to just die to meet people like this… … .”
Were you relaxed late?
At first, the colleagues who were too busy to be vigilant about their surroundings enjoyed a brief break with relieved expressions.
That was the time.
“Daddy, you thought about it. That deputy commander over there is very strong. So do other people.”
During the conversation, Erwen, who had been standing next to her unnoticed, came naturally and sat down next to me.
“By the way, I guess we are really related. I was just thinking that Uncle wanted to see you. But it really did show up! Hehehe.”
“Twitter.”
Ainar and Misha, who usually had a bad view of Erwen, only frowned slightly, but didn’t argue or argue first for nothing.
They know it too.
In such a situation, how foolish it would be to create a quarrel with private emotions.
“But how do you two know each other? I heard that fairies and barbarians don’t get along.”
Raven, who was the first to meet, showed curiosity and joined the conversation.
“Oh, I didn’t introduce myself. I-.”
“I know! I often heard from my uncle. A great wizard has joined the team… … .”
“… Did Mr. Yandel really say that?”
Well, it’s not like that… … .
I decided to think that Erwen was also having a social life, and watched without saying anything.
“My name is Erwen Fornacci di Tersia. Arua Raven, right?”
“What is Mr. Just call me Raven.”
“Then please just call me Erwen.”
After finishing the conversation in a friendly atmosphere, Erwen proudly told the story of how we met.
Uncle Bear, who had his back against the wall, was also listening intently, pretending to be curious about his relationship with him.
“It’s such a pretty fairy who drank the first return wine together… … . Yandel, the more you look at it, the more clothes you have.”
What is it, this uncle?
“Did you say Mr. Urikfried? Hehe, thank you for taking a good look!”
“… Call me Abman.”
“Yes, Mr Abman!”
Erwen, the youngest, exuded a lot of tea and quickly made friends with the party.
To be honest, I was quite impressed.
“But how do you use this crossbow? I don’t think normal people can pull it because of the tension.”
“Ah, this? It’s not that great either. Would you like to try pulling it out?”
“Is that okay? uh… wow! It’s really different from my bow.”
“Fufu, since I used the troll’s tendon, it has to be.”
Did he have a good social life this far?
Playing a joke in front of some mother-in-law—.
‘Oh, maybe that’s not true.’
After that, I thought I would make a clan.
Naturally, Raven and Uncle Bear are the top candidates for recruitment.
You might one day belong to the same clan, so you might have decided that you need to look good ahead of time.
Well, he seemed to hate the other two.
“Urak Burak. lower the corners of your lips Now is the time to laugh!!”
“… uh?”
Uncle Bear, who was hit by Ainar for the first time in his life, stiffened blankly.
Were you aware of the situation later?
Uncle Bear spat out words that were hard to understand.
“Ahh! Of course I dig cats.”
“right? I almost doubted it! So come over here and look at my greatsword. Talking like a bow is no fun!”
“uh… Isn’t it fun?”
“Of course!!”
Ainar grabs and drags Bear to sit next to him as if kidnapped.
It was a time when such a funny thing happened.
“Erwen.”
“Ah, sister.”
Daria, who was watching us carefully from a distance, approached us.
“I’m sorry during the conversation, but I have something to tell you.”
“Uh, with you?”
“yes.”
He said he had something to say to me, so he tried to get up, but Daria stopped him.
“Until I have to take a break.”
“okay? If so. What do you mean?”
At my question, Daria stared at me with an awkward posture. For some reason, it seemed uncomfortable to treat me.
The reason was soon found out.
“You, 5th grade… You said you became an explorer?”
As far as I know, Daria was also a level 5 explorer, and that hasn’t changed.
On the other hand, how was I?
At the time, I was a Level 9 beginner, but in just one year, I grew into a Level 5 explorer leading a team.
So it’s just annoying
“By the way? Is that all you are trying to say?”
“… I have something to suggest.”
“Try it.”
“How about going with us for a while?”
“A little more detail.”
At my words, Daria continued speaking in a completely public voice.
There were a total of 7 teams, including us, for one purpose.
In fact, it is said that most of the teams are grouped together with a team they are familiar with.
“If you agree, our two teams’ formations will stick together when we move. So that we can join forces right away when something happens.”
Wherever people gather, factions are bound to form.
Daria was offering me an alliance.
“Not a bad offer.”
The proposal itself was quite attractive.
Yes, if only one condition is met.
“But did you get permission from your leader?”
Daria is a member of Team 4 of the Blue Wall Clan as a mercenary.
Naturally, the team leader is one of the clan’s officers.
Have we really finished talking?
“that man… … . don’t worry. ‘Cause I can convince you So what is the answer?”
“good night.”
“Okay, then I’ll come back later. Erwen, let’s go back together.”
“Yes… … .”
After that, Daria led her sister back to the team, and I watched it.
I felt a strange feeling.
When we first met, I was treated like a little barbarian. I was treated like an idiot by my brother’s side.
But, I’m sure you’ll get an offer like that first.
“Personal maintenance will be finished soon, and we will leave.”
After resting for a few more minutes, the departure announcement from Versil fell. Oh, by the way, at this time, I also informed the formation that our team should stand in when moving, and it was the third position from the front.
Immediately behind was the team Erwen belonged to.
‘This, I feel like something happened.’
A structure in which each team follows as if playing a train.
Of course, no complaints here.
Because of the nature of the crystal cave, it is natural that the formation moves in a line when moving, and it was Versil’s team, who had the strongest force, to break the road at the forefront.
However… … .
“I heard from Daria and Erwen. It’s called Little Balkan, right? I wish you well.”
“Yeah, I’ll leave it to you.”
After all, why are we ahead of them?
Is this really a coincidence?
‘It can’t be.’
Although the third or fourth from the front may be similar, it is natural that the front is a little more dangerous.
It’s a minor detail, but it’s true that we lost.
Raven seemed to think so too.
“Hey, this feels a little bad.”
“yes? What part do you mean?”
“It’s Jin. It’s not going to go on like this, is it? I think it would be better to take turns doing it forward or backward.”
In response to Raven’s objection, the leader of Erwen’s team, a person with a chin for short, gave out a good laugh.
“Haha, there are a lot of long-distance groups on our side, and there’s a lot of short-range on your side. It’s just a reasonable arrangement.”
“that-.”
“At the beginning, we were not in the safest center. Who do you think it is thanks to?”
The chin that cuts Raven’s words and firmly draws a line.
Even the rationalist Raven couldn’t say anything.
“… … .”
If it was really his merit to win this position, then he would have thought that it was fair for us to stand in front of us, who did nothing.
Because we can even say that we have benefited from it.
However… … .
‘Can a small clan’s team leader bastard give a breath to a large clan’s deputy leader?’
Just hearing about cancer is like dog shit.
We need to watch a little more.
“Okay, let’s end this talk and go. It looks like it has already started.”
Well, to reiterate.
I left my doubts behind and moved forward.
thump, thump.
So the real journey began.
***
First off, the trip itself was okay.
I ran into them by chance, and I thought I was lucky that there was Erwen who could guarantee my identity.
“Vice-Captain! This is a Warlock!!”
“Turn off your time. I will deal with it soon.”
The combat power of the team to which the deputy commander of a large clan belonged was truly remarkable.
‘It was mainly a clan that was active on the 7th floor.’
They cleared the road in front of us, so it was very convenient for us following.
‘Is this what it feels like to ride a bus?’
In fact, if you exclude a few surprise attacks on the side road, you can count on the number of wielding a mace.
It was a journey that lasted about an hour.
“I have good news and bad news.”
Vice-Captain Versil stopped moving and told us.
“The good news is that we are almost there. You can jump into the dark zone in 20 minutes.”
Yes, I knew this too.
“What is the bad news?”
At the question of an explorer, Versil murmured as if he had no personal feelings.
“Not everyone can go together.”
A chilly silence began to cover the cave.
