I am snoring now.
After a hard day, I imagined the savage who was left behind, very energetically.
rumble rumble!
… Well, is this a bit overkill?
I’m a little worried, but I can hear laughter.
“… It’s a really strange race.”
I guess it went well.
I think I had a greater racial advantage than my acting skills.
It is the perception that barbarians are simple and stupid.
That’s why I always acted as a barbarian, even if it wasn’t a matter of evil spirits.
A kind of sound field is also like 笑裏藏刀.
As if hiding a knife in a smile, they use the preconceived notion that they will be innocent as a weapon to see through their stomachs.
… It’s a bit like a middle school bottle.
In the end, to sum it up, it means that it’s easier to think about what’s inside.
just like this
rumble rumble!
For a realistic smoke, squat down to the side while scratching your stomach.
Even so, he listens and pays all attention to his uncle’s movements.
As long as you have shown this much gap, if you have a plan, you will take action soon.
Or you could just sleep.
To be honest, I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep in this state.
“Bjorn, it’s shift time.”
Ah, um… … . I really didn’t know that I couldn’t even breathe.
“Don’t worry too much about the fact that goblins haven’t appeared until now. Because they are evil.”
Unbelievable, my uncle told me to stand up straight every night and lay down comfortably like before.
And in less than five minutes, I fell asleep again.
disappointment creeps in
I’m just fine What the hell have I been doing for two hours?
Shit.
Is it because of the fact that the first person you meet is next to you?
Even though I decided it was reliable, I couldn’t sleep at all.
If I had known this would happen, it would have been better to sleep alone while watching out for goblins.
If so, I could have slept a little.
“after… … .”
I’m tired, so I guess
I feel more sleepy because my uncle is sleeping.
However, since it was my turn, I was chasing after Suma with a different thought, but someone called me.
“Bjorn, get up.”
“… I didn’t sleep.”
“How about wiping saliva around your mouth and talking?”
When I rubbed it with the back of my hand, it was really moist.
“Because I slept standing up, I didn’t even have a nose.”
It looks like a real cup.
Even if it’s just a short while with 10 minutes left of the shift.
… heart is pounding
However, there is something to be done before blaming yourself for complacency.
I apologized frankly.
“sorry.”
I’m not pretending to be a barbarian, I’m serious.
Bam friends means a kind of trading relationship. But even though he provided a safe environment during the night, I couldn’t.
It is natural to apologize.
Even if I don’t want to become the kind of person I hate the most.
“… Fortunately, I didn’t have any problems while sleeping, so it’s not a big deal.”
“Thank you. You can sleep more if you want. I will be vigilant one more time.”
“No. I can’t. It’s your turn, go to sleep. Give me the watch back.”
He could have blamed me, but he forgave me with a friendly smile.
So without further ado, I went to my seat and squatted down.
Again, sleep did not come.
All explorers, including uncle, were exceptionally respectful. Is it normal to trust someone you see for the first time and trust your life?
Aren’t they the owners of great guts?
Even thinking about cancer is unreasonable for me.
For that reason, I always snorted like before.
rumble rumble!
I couldn’t help it.
I’m sorry Uncle, but somehow I’m starting to look more suspicious of you.
rumble rumble!
A point with a good impression like scammers.
The fact that it was the uncle who spoke up first to not save other members.
I didn’t even bother to say anything about the smell.
That’s pretty good
Not long ago, Uncle didn’t blame me for sleeping.
He even refused the price of being able to sleep one more time.
Of course, maybe I’m just a crazy bastard, and in fact, this guy was just a kind person.
But for me, kind bastards are the most suspicious.
‘It was these bastards who always hit me hard in the back of the head.’
Obviously, if it was the old me, now would have been the right time to be vigilant.
don’t make the same mistake
It’s a matter of intelligence.
rumble rumble!
Wouldn’t it be better to quit and break up at this point?
As I thought about this, I snored.
how long has it been since
click.
A small, but foreign sound is produced.
backpack buckle? waist belt? Or the heels?
There was no place to even get a sense of where the sound came from.
However, while recognizing this, the barbarian’s body arbitrarily interprets it.
Dangerous.
Is this the murderous intent spoken of in martial arts?
Goosebumps appear on the skin.
Immediately, he opened his eyes and looked ahead.
“I woke up.”
Still, the old man was smiling happily.
With a two-handed hammer clad in goblin’s blood and flesh held overhead.
shit like this… … .
Harm!
The judgment made by the body raised as a warrior was faster than mine.
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
My body was already rolling to the side before my brain gave the command.
Aww-!
Hearing the sound of something smashing in front of his nose, he uses the recoil to quickly rise and balance.
“Ah!”
The uncle, whose attack on conversion has failed, has a bewildered expression on his face.
Rather than asking why, he dashed forward.
“Sleep, wait!”
Are you trying to make an excuse? You didn’t mean to? Did you try to relax yourself? If that’s the case, it’s a little, no, a lot funny.
How much is the fuck, the real barbarian cubs?
Puff-!
A smash using a shield accurately hit the man’s jawline.
However, humans with a strong physique were different from goblins.
The man staggered, but did not fall.
Then one more time.
Puff-!
smash.
“Aww!”
The hammer in the old man’s hand fell to the floor with a thud and a sound.
His nose is already red and swollen with blood.
… oh, it hurts
I think, but I don’t care.
Because I want to be a bastard who doesn’t know that.
So, once again—
“Hey, stop it! Well, I can explain… … !”
“Smash.”
The man who was hit in the face with a shield one after another fell to his knees.
In terms of games, it is incapable of combat.
In other words, it is now possible to have a conversation.
“mister.”
“Okay, I was wrong! Save me!”
Have you decided to ask for forgiveness at all?
Judgment is quick, but I don’t think it’s wise.
The conversation I want now is not like that.
“Why?”
“Hey, I’m so greedy for magic stones… … . I was just going to knock him out and steal it. Trust me!”
cringe to believe.
If I had been that kind of humanity, I would have had a few more friends.
“shield! I was going to take that shield too!”
As he slowly raises the shield, the uncle quickly adds something.
This is the decisive reason why I don’t believe in humans.
Everyone lies so easily.
I can’t even cheat properly.
“Why a shield?”
“… Because the barbarian’s arms are of good quality. I was thinking of going back to the city and selling it.”
Obviously, most of the weapons that Barbarians receive during tutorials are expensive.
This is because the weight of steel is significantly higher than that of general weapons.
Just by looking at my shield, it was made of whole steel.
But even so, killing people just to get this?
Well, when you think about it, it’s not at all incomprehensible.
but… … .
“Girl.”
That man is still hiding something.
“Be honest. Why?”
Just like when I was dealing with a fallen goblin, I crushed the man’s upper body with my feet.
“Ouch!”
Fear engraved deeply in the man’s eyes.
But is it because it’s the bastard who tried to kill me?
Surprisingly, there is no particular excitement.
It felt the same to know why you shouldn’t look into your eyes when slaughtering a cow… … .
It’s okay to just ignore that feeling.
As I was thinking about ending the conversation at this point, my uncle called out.
“Sim, heart!”
“heart?”
It’s an unexpected word.
When I look at him with eyes that require explanation, the uncle continues his words with a resigned expression on his face.
“… A barbarian’s heart is selling for a high price.”
“why?”
“Well, I don’t know for sure, but they say it’s used as a newly developed magic ingredient!”
“Right.”
Now I understand the motive.
I was a goblin to this man.
It is difficult to catch, but once you catch it, you can get a huge reward.
“Why did you act now instead of when you first slept?”
“… I have to sleep too.”
Oh, I see.
If possible, I did it to sleep and earn money.
I thought it was because the uncle was careful, but it was just an extreme efficiency bug.
“I’ve said it all, forgive me… … .”
“Forgiveness?”
To be honest, I can’t help but laugh.
forgive me?
Isn’t that what the guy who tried to pull out his heart from his gear and his hearthstone would say that?
Had my reaction been a little late, I wouldn’t have even gotten a chance to beg for my life.
“please… … .”
Well, I would like to live. Did you know it was going to be like this? That attitude is commendable.
However.
“Uncle, it is right to pay the price.”
I hate those bastards who do their own thing and evade responsibility the most.
so that… … .
“I will give you everything! Even if it’s not long right now, if I just go back to the city… … .”
can not believe it.
In that respect, I don’t even know what’s different about this guy from a goblin.
He couldn’t be friends with a goblin, but at least this man had a chance.
Only that is different, and therefore worse.
Of course, this is just an emotional opinion, and I do not make choices based on emotions.
It can’t always be, but at least I try.
“I will probably meet countless people like you in the future. They’ll say the same thing. Then should I forgive each time?”
Forgiveness is a very scary word.
The decision made with a good heart often comes back as a dagger and stabs in the back.
I know that fact better than anyone.
So this time I had no choice.
A mistake in this primordial world would not only hurt my heart, but would threaten my life as well.
“I’m sorry, uncle. I don’t think I can do it because I’ve been hit in the back too many times.”
“Oh, no! Absolutely not! I am different!”
Come to think of it, the goblin once said something like this.
I just looked at the eyes and interpreted it as I wanted, but anyway.
Then, what did I do?
wow.
Raise the shield held with both hands high.
However, unlike then, it pauses for a moment.
Of course, the period of hesitation did not last long.
I feel an unknown force pulling my arm,
“Oh, no!”
I lowered the shield with all my might.
Kwajik, a heavy silence came along with the sound of bones breaking.
「Achievement」
Condition: First Murder
Reward: Permanently +1 Spirit
I did not turn away from what I had done and accepted it as it was.
About a day has passed since I entered the world of the game.
I killed someone.
I also got a large hammer, shoulder guards, leather boots, compass, knife, pocket watch, water bottle, backpack, blanket, herbs and bandages, a potion, 6 days’ worth of food and snacks, and 32 rank 9 mana stones.
Yay, loot!
