Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 283



Episode 283: Drifting (3)

Fighting.

The insect-type monster ‘Cronby’ turned into light and disappeared dropping a magic stone.

I didn’t bother to pick it up.

Well what are you going to do with that? In a situation where there are no pockets to store it.

‘It’s going to turn.’

In some ways it is worse than when I first fell into the labyrinth and had to crawl on three legs.

Because there was even underwear back then.

‘…Let’s think about where this is later and find something to cover first.’

For a moment I was taken aback by being in an unfamiliar situation but I quickly organized the tasks I had to do and completed them one by one.

First of all clothing one of the items of food clothing and shelter.

It is a world where there are only trees everywhere and monsters turn into light and disappear the moment they are caught but satisfying the righteousness was not that difficult.

I’m a barbarian in the first place right?

‘…You’re really trying all kinds of things here.’

First pick up a vine that fits around your waist.

Then attach leaves the size of pumpkin leaves to the vine wrap them around your waist and tie the stems.

With this the equipment that will protect my dignity called ‘Tree Spirit’s Protection’ was completed.

‘…is it stronger than I thought?’

As I moved around wearing the items I made I was surprised at the level of completion that was higher than expected.

After all is the root the root?

There was a reason why the early humans preferred this look.

‘…I guess I should make it for him too.’

While I was at it I also produced Amelia’s.

Unlike me who had enough bottoms Amelia needed two parts…

Since he was much smaller than me the work time itself was not much different.

‘But it’s made generously so you don’t have to worry about the size.’

This is one of the few advantages of ‘Blessing of the Tree Spirit’.

It’s so primitive that the large size doesn’t matter.

Just tighten the stem and tie it and that’s it.

‘How long is he going to sleep?’

I approached Amelia and threw ‘Tree Spirit’s Protection (Female)’ on her body.

It’s not that I didn’t think about putting it on but…

‘It’s going to be more awkward for no reason.’

No matter how much I think about it wearing it seems like it’s going too far.

There is a saying that cancer is the same for both men and women.

‘Anyway I’m not hungry right now so let’s make a place to rest first.’

After meeting the requirements I immediately began preparing to complete the main task.

This also wasn’t very difficult.

All you have to do is dig a hole with a shovel-sized hand and stuff the large leaves used to make ‘Tree Spirit’s Protection’ into it.

Oh we picked up some dry wood and lit a bonfire in the center.

Surprisingly starting the fire was easy.

‘Is it because my body is full of strength?’

As I continued to rub against the wood with all my strength smoke began to rise.

Surprisingly there is nothing in this world that cannot be accomplished with force.

‘Anyway when does he plan on waking up?’

Soon I picked up Amelia and laid her down on the leaf bed and looked up at the sky.

It was already night.

However thanks to the fire being lit I didn’t feel cold and my visibility was clear so even if monsters came out I would be able to fight as usual.

With that said I moved on to the next item.

‘The problem is food….’

It is the third element for life and if you consider survival alone it is not enough to count it as the first factor.

“Ha really…”

A sigh came out of my mouth.

It wasn’t my first time entering the country and I didn’t know I would have to worry about this again now.

Grumble.

…How do I get food?

***

There are no mountains on Parune Island.

Except for the coast the entire area is flat forest land so there is plenty of cover so the light from the bonfire does not spread far.

but….

‘You guys are like moths.’

The light from the bonfire was enough to attract nearby monsters so I had to deal with them non-stop all night.

Well I didn’t put out the bonfire.

Because monsters appear even when there is no light in the first place.

The judgment was that it would be more reasonable to fight with at least a clear view.

‘…It’s not like I can sleep in this situation.’

After several more hours of fighting hunger Amelia finally came to her senses.

“You finally woke up.”

“…How did you know?”

“Because the sound of breathing disappeared.”

It’s really funny to see this too.

It’s clear that he’s come to his senses but he just stays still with his eyes closed and doesn’t say anything.

Are you saying understanding the situation comes first?

“…Where am I?”

“Put it on first before you wake up.”

“…?”

Amelia raises her upper body and frowns when she sees a piece of wood placed over her naked body.

“Barbarian… did you strip me?”

Zirana who was one of the list of questions Amelia expected to ask when she opened her eyes did not panic and answered them immediately.

“Can you say that even after looking at me? “My clothes were all gone too.”

“…I see.”

As soon as I turned my back I heard the sound of rustling leaves behind me. Fortunately it looks like you don’t have to explain how to wear it.

“Now that it’s done you can look back.”

When I looked back again Amelia was wearing all of the ‘Wood Spirit’s Protection (Female)’ that I had made.

It was a very strange feeling.

Since they are both wearing these things should I say that it looks like some kind of set item?

If we fight together I think we’ll get a set effect buff.

“So where am I?”

Amelia asked me her first question again without changing her expression as if she felt embarrassed by the clothes she was wearing.

I’m in the position to ask that question.

“This is Farune Island. “I don’t know how much time passed but when I opened my eyes we had all taken off our clothes.”

In addition to this I briefly briefed on the many questions I felt as soon as I opened my eyes and Amelia pursed her lips.

It looks like he needed some time to organize his thoughts.

I asked after giving it about a minute.

“Now then talk about it. “Why are we in this situation?”

“…Why are you asking me that?”

Ugh pretending not to know.

“At the end didn’t the stone you were holding shine? “I’m convinced it has something to do with this.”

“Yes that’s what you mean….”

Amelia clenched and opened her empty hand for no reason.

However the object that had not been there since I opened my eyes did not suddenly appear.

Oh right. I should also say this first.

“I’ll tell you in advance I didn’t touch that item either. “I don’t even know where it disappeared to.”

“Don’t worry. “Because I don’t have that suspicion.”

Hmm does that mean you have that much credibility?

“So what is the answer to your question?”

“…I have a feeling but I’m not sure.”

No I want this woman to tell me that.

Even in this situation do we need to control information?

“Just speak frankly. “What on earth is that stone and why are we in this situation?”

Amelia trailed off as she asked not hiding her irritation.

and….

“that….”

Just as she was about to open her mouth again with an expression as if she had made up her mind.

widely.

The sound of a tree branch breaking was heard from the edge of the bush.

At the same time we both lowered our posture and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Well there are only insect types on this island.

This means that there is a high possibility that the person who made that sound was a person.

“….”

There was breathtaking silence except for the sound of the campfire.

Thanks to this I became more nervous.

If I had heard someone pretending to be someone I would have thought it was just a random person passing by.

“How long are you going to be spying on me? “Come out.”

Soon Amelia looked into the dark bushes and muttered coldly.

The reaction came after about 5 seconds.

“Haha when you say that it makes me feel like we’re bad people.”

Five explorers stretch out their crouched bodies and come out through the bushes.

What are you really watching?

Since when?

‘Nimiral.’

Although I felt dizzy I scanned the other group first.

All were human and male.

Considering the equipment the level is…

‘About the 5th floor.’

However there is a clan emblem on her chest.

This is the clan emblem that I have seen for the first time.

‘You belong to a clan and have ascended to the 6th floor and are you acting as a team on this island?’

Of course there is a sense of incongruity here too.

Due to the current situation most explorers did not enter this labyrinth. So the condition of less than 20 people was satisfied on this island.

But now we meet explorers like this?

Something is not clear.

It was a car that vaguely gave me that feeling.

“Why were you spying on us?”

A full-fledged conversation began with Amelia asking clearly showing her wariness.

“Don’t misunderstand. I happened to see a light in the distance and thought it was a member of our clan so I came over to say hello but when I saw what they were doing I was surprised and just watched. Oh and I just discovered it in the first place.”

To some extent this was understandable.

If it were me she would have wondered what on earth there were men and women wearing leaves like cavemen in the center of the island.

You might be curious about the situation.

“So what happened?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“Hey don’t be too cautious. Just by looking at it the situation doesn’t look good…”

“I thought you said you didn’t need it?”

Amelia sharply drew her line in response to her man’s question.

But did you find that part attractive?

“Hehe Angkaljigi.”

The man laughed cheerfully without any sign of displeasure at her.

She honestly looked like a crazy asshole to me.

She’s not asking me to kill her.

“Amelia.”

“I will make my own decision so you just stay still.”

Yes that’s right.

When I called her by her name to tell her not to make too much of a situation Amelia also relaxed her attitude a little.

“The boat she was on ran aground. Before parting ways with her colleagues she made an appointment to meet here. “Is this explained?”

Just by looking at it it seems like the story was adapted from my own story.

“Hmm then where did all the equipment go?”

“I put the equipment in my backpack before falling into the water and lost it. “The clothes she was wearing were wet and dirty so she just threw them away.”

“I guess so.”

Afterwards her man showed his curiosity and asked Amelia a few more questions and Amelia told him a roughly plausible story.

Of course if you dig deeper there were many contradictions…

“Oh I never thought there would be such a story! “You must have been quite embarrassed.”

The man seemed to like such contradictions his eyes shining as he scanned Amelia’s naked body.

It was that moment.

“This is very lucky….”

Wow!

Amelia landed a high kick on the man’s head.

dump-

Ha this woman is real.

Even though she was a barbarian she stayed still.

‘Who on earth taught you to hit first and then look?’

Even as she sighed inwardly she immediately moved her body as if she had been waiting.

“What are you doing!”

Isn’t the water already spilled?

We’ll figure out what’s right and wrong later and come to terms with it now.

“Behel—laaaaa!!”

[Wild Eruption] exploded and [Giantization] was activated.

And then [Leap] landed in the center of their formation.

and….

‘Swing.’

He swung his club and knocked the wizard to the ground.

‘Okay for now the magistrate is bored.’

I naturally twisted my waist and swung my club using centrifugal force towards the archer next to me.

but….

“Noooom!!!”

The second surprise attack failed as the shield warrior next to the archer blocked it properly.

simplicity and honesty.

As a bonus the club that was blocked by the shield was also shattered.

Damn if it had been a mace I would have sent the shield flying away.

Tuk.

I threw the broken club on the floor and grabbed my shield with both hands.

and….

“Give it to me.”

I pulled it with force.

It was difficult to steal one thing at once.

Regardless of the difference in strength most shields are held with a belt wrapped around the wrist.

Of course it was a minor problem.

If the arm is the problem the problem ends when you break the arm.

Kwasik-!

“Aaaah!!”

I grabbed the guy by the shield and hit him on the elbow shattering his joints.

Then I kicked him took his shield and—

Kang-!

He immediately put his shield to the side and blocked the incoming arrow.

And that was the end of the battle.

Phew!

Amelia organized most of it in that short period of time.

Soon the archer fell to the ground spouting blood and there was no one standing around.

He’s not all dead though….

“Oh you’re an Auror…”

Everyone lost their will to fight when they saw Amelia emitting aura from the sword she had stolen.

“You guys… know who we are…!”

The first man who fell after receiving a high kick looked up at us with venomous eyes.

Why did things become like this?

“Be quiet.”

If they screamed it might get annoying so I quickly gathered up leaves on the ground and stuffed them in its mouth.

And then I saw Amelia.

“What on earth are you doing?”

Although we had no choice but to join in what we just did was no different from plunder.

If this spreads to the city we will definitely be in a very difficult situation.

“Tell me. Why did you suddenly do this? “So that I can understand.”

She immediately looked at her as if to give her a chance to explain but Amelia avoided her gaze.

“…Because we had no weapons we just attacked first before it became a disadvantage.”

It was absurd.

“Don’t you usually think about solving it through conversation first?”

“I decided that they weren’t the type of people who would do that.”

It feels like I’m talking to a wall.

Did all the people I met later feel this way?

For some reason when I’m with him I keep looking back at my past self.

‘This guy thinks he’s some kind of bastard.’

At this point she stopped talking and took a deep breath and Amelia blurted out her words as if comforting her.

“Don’t worry. “Because what you think will never happen.”

“What do you mean?”

“Check your backpack.”

I don’t know what it means but I did as I was told and opened their expandable backpack.

The first thing I saw was beef jerky for snacks.

I already felt like I was starving to death.

Still has the food problem been solved?

Crunch crunch.

After putting the beef jerky in my mouth I looked through the bag.

And soon I noticed something strange.

‘What are these bastards… aren’t they part of the clan?’

The backpack was full of various equipment.

It was difficult to see it as emergency equipment.

Not only were there many different types but most of the weapons had blood on them.

“These guys… were marauders.”

So the clan mark is for camouflage?

If that’s the case it looks familiar somehow…

‘Where did I see this?’

As I was reflecting on the memory it immediately came to mind.

“…Clan Elvis.”

It was a clan I saw while reading a book at the library a while back.

It was a place where dozens of people gathered to commit brutal crimes and when their actions were eventually discovered all of them were executed.

If I remember correctly

Apparently about 15 years ago.

‘No sane bastard would forge a clan emblem like that and carry it around even if they were disguised…’

I felt a tremendous sense of discomfort.

And that moment.

Ssssssssssssss-!

On a cold night the sea breeze blew and passed over his spine.

‘No wait a minute….’

I quickly opened my backpack and rechecked the identification cards I had seen earlier and then I froze in a daze.

“This is crazy….”

ID cards with various names races and ages.

They had just one thing in common.

“The renewal date is 134 years ago…?”

For some reason the date was written 20 years ago.
