Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 111
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 111: Baby Barbarian (4)
Barbarians teaming up with humans is more common than you might think.
No matter how high their physical stats and fighting sense are they need allies from the second floor onwards.
In fact even after only 2 or 3 months the standard route was to form a team and head to the second floor.
‘The problem is that you rarely meet the right guy.’
Fairy Dwarf Beastman etc.
The situation for other races is better.
Not only are they less naive than the barbarians who only honed their ‘battle skills’ in the Holy Land…
Because the heart is not sold for a high price as a magic ingredient.
[What are the other guys doing? Most of them died.]
There were less than a third of the barbarians who had already gone through the coming-of-age ceremony with me.
Was it really because of ‘Monster’?
‘That can’t be possible.’
Because of that reasonable suspicion I listened even more intently to their conversation.
but….
“Then I’ll take a break so please take care of me.”
“It was my turn next right?”
Everyone fell asleep one after another and the topic about the baby barbarian did not continue beyond the beginning.
Of course there was no big problem because I could roughly figure out who those three were just from the first three words of conversation.
‘First of all I don’t think I’m planning on doing anything today.’
I guess the plan is to pamper him to his heart’s content and then kill him on the last day.
Because it’s much more efficient that way.
‘…what should I do?’
I was worried.
First of all as a barbarian myself I had no intention of passing by and ignoring the baby barbarian in danger.
But I can’t just follow them around forever and watch them until they reveal their ambitions.

‘Just go and kill them all?’
I chuckled and shook my head.
Although it is an easy and convenient method it is not the best.
The good thing was that there was still no evidence that those three were looters. Because I am confident that I can convince Misha or the baby barbarian with plausible words.
but….
‘If that’s the case the same thing will just happen over and over again.’
Sometimes you have to experience it yourself to realize it painfully.
‘Anyway training was the main purpose so I could invest up to a day…’
After much thought I came up with a plan and woke Misha up.
“Misha.”
“Huh…?”
I made a quiet gesture with my hand and moved to a place where no sound could be heard.
Next the plan was briefly explained.
Misha listened calmly while rubbing her eyes.
“Hmm… So you’re saying they’re probably looters?”
“Okay if you don’t mind I’d like to take a moment to check.”
“I don’t care. “If you’re a barbarian you can’t call yourself a stranger.”
“…You’re saying it’s not someone else?”
“Oh no! “I don’t mean that… Maybe it’s someone I met too.”
It seems like he’s referring to the fact that I acted as a guide for the young warriors whenever they entered the labyrinth for several months…
Hmm maybe it’s one of them.
I’ve been advised countless times to be careful of humans but it doesn’t really matter until you experience it.
“Then that’s it. “Hurry up and change your clothes.”
There was something to prepare for the plan.
***
Put the mace lithium breastplate and shield into the bag.
‘As for the weapon… I can just say I lost it.’
After finishing the preparations I checked the current situation one last time. The appearance of a perfect baby barbarian with no iron equipment except for the helmet.
Next to the road there was a bare land prisoner.
“Ugh… this is uncomfortable…”
To ensure a perfect plan we replaced the existing equipment with Gencia’s beginner equipment set.
But from earlier Misha keeps fiddling with her breasts.
That bothers me.
“What are you doing?”
“huh? “I don’t know anything else but her chest area is so tight….”
“Chest area?”
As I glanced over Misha hit the solar plexus.

Seeing as how her bones were chilled it seems like the cold damage was done properly.
“Where are you looking? “It’s definitely not because I’m heavier than her right?”
No I didn’t say anything.
I just looked at it because it was an unexpected complaint. The light armor he was originally wearing must have been the same size.
When I pointed out the contradiction Misha answered calmly.
“The one from before was also small but it didn’t have any iron parts.”
Well then.
Jencia and Misha.
Both of them had physiques worthy of nimble characters but if you look closely you will notice differences.
For example a skeleton.
Even looking at it like this he is quite tall.
I didn’t measure it but it would be 170.
He seemed a bit cold so at first I thought he was the rough type.
“It’s just that the chest area is tight but the rest of it is rather loose. “Do you understand?”
“i get it.”
I didn’t know what he wanted so I gave him a rough answer.
But Misha must have sensed something like that and sighed.
“Okay… how would you know about a woman’s body?”
“Yes everything you said is correct.”
“Are you going to keep answering so insincerely?”
“If you’re ready let’s go.”
Since it wasn’t the time for me to talk about trivial things she ended the conversation and moved to the previous location.
Intentionally making a fuss and making a big show of popularity.
“Behel—laaaaa!!”
“Ouch! “Why are you screaming all of a sudden?”
“I just felt like doing it!”
“What?”
Misha looked at me with a puzzled expression but the effect was amazing.
“Who are you?”
A cry was immediately heard from beyond the darkness.
“uh! “There’s someone over there!”
I shouted innocently and ran in the direction I heard the sound.
Soon the invisible distance of the labyrinth ended and the four explorers who had lit a bonfire came into view.
Three humans and one baby barbarian sleeping soundly.
“Stop coming any closer.”
The three humans were already awake and on guard.
“Lois wake that guy up first.”
A bow named Lois woke up the baby barbarian with a tap with her foot.
“What is it? “Is it a monster?”
“I’m an explorer.”
“Explorer? But why do you wake me up? “I was sleeping well…”
“Didn’t I say it last time? “Explorers need to be as careful as monsters.”
“ah! I remember! But… the author is our compatriot?”
Just as I was nodding at Jaebi’s words the baby barbarian spotted me and waved his hand in joy.
“I am Charon son of Tarson!”
“It’s Bjorn Thor’s son!”
As soon as he left I approached him shook his hand and then bumped his shoulder. Then I took a quick look and everyone’s expressions were astounding.
Not only the three humans but also Misha who had received the hint.
‘What on earth are these barbarian bastards doing?’
They are watching us with eyes like this.
And did you feel it?
The baby barbarian looked at me as if to tell me not to worry and then said to his companions.
“Everyone put down your weapons! Bjorn son of Thor is not a bad explorer!”
“okay! “I’m not a bad explorer!”
As the two of us spoke the eyes of the archer and the spearman focused on one man.
It seems like this guy is the leader…
The man sighed and nodded and everyone lowered their weapons. It seems ridiculous to remain on guard till the end here.
“So Barbarian—”
“This is Bjorn son of Thor.”
“Okay Thor—”
“Thor is my father’s name.”
“Hmm Bjorn—”
“We’re not that close yet so I’d like you to call me by my full name.”
The leader who stopped speaking three times in a row looked quite upset but showed patience and put on a smile.
And then he spoke to me again.
“So Bjorn son of Thor?”
“Say it.”
“If you don’t have any business I’d like you to leave. As you can see I was taking a break.”
The leader’s words were reasonable and common sense.
Because it is polite and customary for explorers not to approach each other.
but….
So what?
Now I’m a big precious baby barbarian who wouldn’t know anything like that.
Instead he shouted as if everything went well.
“What a coincidence you’re resting! “We were just looking for a place to rest!”
“So… what does that have to do with us?”
“We met because it was fate so let’s rest together! Friends that night? “Yes there is something like that!”
“Night friend?”
The expressions of the three humans distorted strangely as if they had heard something they should not have heard.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
Seeking a night partner is a culture limited to the first floor.
I would never have imagined that on the second floor where I go as a team I would be offered a night out by a barbarian.
“ha….”
The leader smoothed his forehead as if he didn’t know where to start explaining.
But in the meantime.
“Oh that will do. “Come here I tried lying down and it’s a little less hard here.”
The baby barbarian nods his head saying he’s right.
The situation is truly a total disaster.
The leader explained the explorers’ customs with superhuman patience.
To summarize it was simple.
“So what you’re saying is… you don’t make night friends from the second floor?”
“Yes that’s right. If you understand—”
Well it comes from someone who is willing to understand.
I opened my mouth as if I was truly pathetic.
“You guys are so stupid! “If we all sleep together we can sleep more!”
“huh?”
“If you have a brain think about it. There are four of you and there are two of us right? “If there are seven people who take turns to be on watch each person can sleep a little more.”
A barbarian-style argument with no answer from start to finish.
Everyone was dazed as if they were hallucinating.
Oh except for one person.
“That’s… I see…! “Why didn’t explorers do that sooner?”
Did I realize that further conversation was meaningless when I saw the baby barbarian nodding his head vigorously at my argument?
“Look. “We’ll take care of it ourselves so you can take care of your things and take them away—”
The leader turned his gaze away from me and started talking to Misha then suddenly stopped.
It looks like he has finally seen his face.
Even his voice which was filled with irritation suddenly changed.
“Hmm it might be common to try to do that but first what do you think?”
I guess I didn’t like the way the guy was scanning my eyes.
Misha was shocked but when I noticed her her expression changed.
“well…? “I’m not sure… First of all there are barbarians there too so they don’t seem like dangerous people…”
“Haha that’s the same thing.”
“Anyway I was worried that he had lost his weapon and was on guard alone. So if it’s okay with you I think it would be okay to just spend the night together…”
“You lost a weapon like that?”
The man looked at me with strange eyes after hearing Misha’s words.
It seemed like he had finally realized that I was bare-handed and without a weapon.
“Oh a weapon? “I was fighting a monster and accidentally missed it and it disappeared!”
“I see?”
When I told him a roughly made excuse the man was convinced that it was just that.
As expected the Barbarian is a fraud.
‘Anyway I think there’s enough bait around here…’
I made my final suggestion in a clear voice.
“So are you going to be friends for the night or not? Make a decision quickly. “Because I’m getting sleepy.”
For your information if I turned down this offer I was going to leave that way.
If I did this much and rejected it it was much more likely that I had misunderstood these three.
but….
“Well… it’s not a normal situation but…”
The leader trailed off and exchanged glances with the three humans then smiled brightly.
“You said it was a difficult situation so it would be too heartless to let you go like this.”
“If you say it so hard I won’t understand.”
“…If you want you can take a night off.”
I could barely suppress my laughter because I could see his true intentions so clearly.
Everyone has a plan.
***
A one-night stand that happened to happen.
Well it feels weird saying it like this but anyway.
First of all we kept the name simple.
“This is Lois Victor and I am Briol.”
Royce is the bow jab and Victor is the spearman.
And even Briol the leader and hammer warrior.
‘…Hans isn’t there.’
Is this really a pseudonym?
If I had used a pseudonym wouldn’t the baby barbarian over there have thought it strange?
Feeling strangely uneasy Misha and I lay down together on a nearby seat.
I feel like I want to lay down a blanket but…
If you do that you will be caught using an expandable backpack.
“You guys get some rest. “I’ll postpone it to the last turn.”
“Oh you guys are such good explorers!”
“Hahaha… This guy is too.”
Anyway as soon as she lay down Misha whispered into her ear.
“Bjorn.”
“Be quiet.”
“Do you really have to do this?”
Although he followed my instructions Misha didn’t seem to be very happy with the current situation.
Well even if you were a bunch of bastards it would be uncomfortable both physically and mentally to lie down defenseless.
but….
“Just be patient. “I will give you what you want later.”
“…Really? “Is that what you promised?”
I stuck to this plan even throwing Misha her new carrot.
It was worth it.
Today baby barbarian Karon Tarson will be reborn as a warrior.
Suspicious of humans and killing predators.
