Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 348



Episode 348: Seclusion (3)

Everyone has a plan.

There is no guarantee that it will work out well.

Amelia was like that too.

“…There was an organization that I had always kept an eye on. “They were the ones who disguised themselves as an aid station brought in opium and then sold it at a high price in the shadows… Originally the plan was to rob them and make up the cash.”

“however?”

“…While tracking down their base the Public Security Agency came in.”

I had nothing to say.

Should I say this is really like him….

Still I’m glad it’s much more wholesome than robbing a bank.

As I was laughing Amelia quietly apologized.

“…This is my mistake so I will find a solution somehow.”

What can you say about this guy?

I said stubbornly.

“It’s done. “Why are you solving this on your own?”

If this thing hadn’t been extended in the first place it would have been disintegrated a long time ago and Amelia has about half a share in this thing.

That’s because the party was hunting when it was dropped.

Above all it’s a bit funny to hold the person who saved the money to purchase Bol-Herchan’s essence responsible for this.

“Money issues are solved together. “Do you understand?”

“…Are you a colleague?”

Oh he knows how to say things like this.

“Yes because I’m a colleague. “If a problem arises we should not consider who is to blame but rather find a way to solve it together.”

“…i get it.”

In that sense we discussed countermeasures from now on.

It was a difficult amount to raise in two months through normal means but there was no answer at all.

This is because the stocks I bought 2 years and 6 months ago paid off.

“If you borrow money from that fairy… it would definitely be possible if you had enough money to buy a mansion like this. But is it okay?”

“huh? “Are you okay?”

“That fairy must be one of your companions.”

“Hmm….”

This guy also hit a really painful spot.

“Amelia I guess you don’t know something because you’ve been alone for a long time but her colleagues help each other when they’re having a hard time. “Do you understand?”

“Indeed… is that how you treat your colleagues?”

No who says they only receive it?

Shouldn’t I just pay it back with interest?

“Anyway enough of this issue let’s talk about something else.”

“I decided it was an unfavorable situation.”

“…huh?”

“Isn’t it? “I remember that he usually did this whenever he changed the subject.”

uh….

It was so straightforward that there was nothing to refute.

“….”

But was his personality like this originally?

Why do you keep making fun of me?

“Okay just say what you wanted to say Yandel.”

Seeing as they didn’t leave any room for comment it seems clear that they were teasing them intentionally…

Since I just had a bad feeling I just passed it on for now.

Because there were more important issues.

“Oh it’s nothing special. I was just trying to talk about how I should introduce you to Erwen.”

Being able to intuit team kills is a requirement.

Tap tap tap.

As I was tapping the table at a steady beat Amelia clicked her tongue.

“You’re going crazy so calm down.”

“….”

“Is that fairy that scary?”

“Who are you saying are you scared of? “How well does Erwen listen to me?”

I’m just a little nervous.

She had told Erwen that she would take Amelia as her companion but had she always been able to control human impulses?

I don’t want to see Amelia explode again.

Even more so if she is not her alter ego but her real self.

Tick ​​tick.

As time passed she began to feel hungry.

Crash.

I heard the gate in the yard closing.

It means that Erwen has returned home.

You probably have both hands full of food for dinner today.

plod trudge.

The characteristic light footsteps of a fairy passing through the yard quickly became closer.

and….

Tuk.

She stopped in front of the front door.

It was a little strange.

There was definitely a rattling sound and the doorknob turned but why didn’t the door open? Why did the humming sound that seemed to be excited somewhere stop?

The moment I felt that question.

“Open door.”

Erwen muttered softly.

“…Woman’s smell.”

With that one word I immediately stood up.

It was because I had a feeling that if I just held the surprise event I had prepared it would be a disaster.

“Erwen! “Are you here?”

As I quickly went out to meet him at the front door Erwen ignored my greeting and glanced around the inside of the house.

Then she fixed her eyes on Amelia who was inside her.

“Amelia Lane Wales.”

“It’s been a while Hyeolryeonghu. Is this your first time seeing you in the city?”

“…How are you here?”

“She was followed when she stopped at the bank. Although secret magic has increased it seems that it is not used often in real life. It would be better to be more alert in the future. “Because you are not the only one living in this house.”

Erwen mumbled briefly in response to Amelia’s answer.

“…Shall I kill you?”

“Hey Erwen…?”

“Oh I’m sorry. “I only think about it internally.”

“Uh… Is that so? Yes that could happen. First… let’s sit over there. “We’re going to be together from now on but we can’t be so awkward right?”

“all right.”

Surprisingly Erwen calmed down quickly and sat down at the table as I asked. And in her casual voice she spoke first.

“Is it okay if I get along well with this woman from now on?”

“Call her by her name not this woman.”

“Then I’ll use your last name. It’s Lane Wales right?”

“right. “I call you Tersia too.”

“yes.”

When Erwen gave a short answer the conversation ended there.

It was my turn to step forward.

“Erwen as I said last time Amelia will now move with us.”

“What about identity issues?”

“No need to worry about that part. “I found something suitable while waiting for Yandel to return.”

“…Why didn’t you tell me sooner that you were alive?”

“You are asking a pathetic question. “How can I trust you and say that?”

“what? “We’ve been together for about half a year at most.”

“Hmm I understand that the period of time you were in the labyrinth with Yandel was less than half a year?”

Why are you talking to me without anyone else?

“Now everyone calm down.”

I quickly intervened in the conversation again.

“I don’t know exactly what happened between you all this time but it all happened because of a misunderstanding so why don’t you just resolve it here and there?”

While saying that I gave Amelia a signal with a glance. It meant that instead of being harsh you should slowly lose.

but….

“Well I don’t have any grudges. Thanks to that I survived in the end even though my legs were blown off the 6th floor I couldn’t swim and I had to hold on to a board for three days.”

Yes there was a reason to be grumpy.

“…I was wondering how you escaped on the boat with that body.”

“Erwen.”

“…don’t worry. I don’t have any big grudges either. It’s just that the body of an explorer from Noark who went through all the trouble was taken away right before my eyes. Oh do you want to include the fact that I followed him and got my arm cut?”

“But I didn’t kill him.”

“You talk as if you could have done it. “They ran away as soon as our support arrived.”

“Well… the purpose has been achieved. “My financial situation was tight but thanks to selling that equipment I was able to get this dagger here.”

Okay let’s give up on being friendly.

There’s no reason for co-workers to get along right?

I ended the conversation with a smile.

“Haha you’re fighting over something that really doesn’t matter! Now quickly shake hands and make up.”

A person who smiles at any time is the best.

***

After Erwen and Amelia shook hands with rotten expressions I moved on to the next item on the agenda.

As a barbarian warrior be blunt.

“Erwen can you lend me some money?”

“Why the money…?”

I confessed the story about the Demon Crusher and Erwen’s expression hardened.

“So you’re saying that this woman wants me to make up for the money I paid for her essence with my own money?”

“You could see it that way…?”

“…I’m sorry but I think that might be a bit difficult.”

“…huh?”

“Don’t misunderstand. “It’s not because I don’t like it.”

If not what is it?

When Erwen looked at me like that he muttered softly as if he had committed a crime.

“Now… I don’t have much money… really.”

Oh well….

Come to think of it this house was also purchased with money that was extorted by threatening the tribal leader.

Still I thought I’d ask just in case.

“Then what about borrowing money using this house as collateral?”

I felt like trash myself but what can I do?

We need to prepare for the worst case scenario.

“…This house? “It’s a place full of memories…”

“You just have to pay it back on time right?”

“Yandel you really—”

“Don’t say anything to uncle. “It happened because of you so I have no shame.”

“what…?”

“So you understand? Don’t be sorry man. “It’s a house… so you can get a new one later…”

That’s because my hands are shaking…

“…I’m sorry.”

“Don’t say things like that. It’s for you.”

In any case it was decided that the Demon Crusher would be recovered by using the collateral rotation technique.

So it’s time to make your next plan.

“No matter what we do in the future we need to secure funds first.”

“yes. If you want to enter the labyrinth again you will have to adjust her equipment again. “If I have money… I can keep this house…”

“Wait a minute you mean a labyrinth? Right now the most important thing is to rid yourself of the false accusation of being an evil spirit right?”

Oh that…

“There’s something a little suspicious so I’m thinking of putting it off for a while.”

While she was ignoring me I told her about the questions and concerns I had and Amelia nodded as if she agreed.

It seemed like she herself felt suspicious.

“Anyway Amelia I want you to find me a suitable identity.”

“It’s not difficult to seek identity but in the end it will mean covering the sky with both hands. “Even though more than two years have passed since you died there are quite a few people who remember you.”

To interpret it it means that there is a high possibility that one’s identity will be revealed with something like an iron helmet.

Because this isn’t the time 20 years ago when there was no connection.

Even if you just use the word [giantification] people will think of Bjorn Yandel first.

“Hmm I think everything will work out if I just be careful in the labyrinth…”

“You may not recognize me once or twice but if the period of time increases there will definitely be someone who recognizes you—”

“How about taking some water for a moment?”

Erwen interjected cutting her off.

“integer?”

“Just like Mr. Einar ate. There is also an integer that reduces height. “I don’t think anyone would notice if I just shortened my height and introduced myself as a human.”

Even as he said that Erwen noticed Amelia’s gaze. She seemed to be on guard because she didn’t know if something would be found in her words.

but….

“I’m sure we’ll know in a month or two. “If you plan on hiding your identity for a long time it would be much safer that way.”

Contrary to expectations Amelia approved Erwen’s idea and even praised her.

But was that a bit unfamiliar?

“You came up with a pretty good solution.”

“…Because it’s about you.”

Erwen responded coldly and turned her head.

It was a sight that warmed the viewer but I had no choice but to intervene.

“excuse me….”

She suddenly said she was really sorry for saying this.

“I don’t have room to drink purified water.”

There’s still a long way to go to level 7.

There is no essence to erase.

As soon as she could explain this situation Amelia burst out laughing.

“Manticore.”

“…?”

“I remember you said that it was definitely an essence that would have to be erased someday.”

…You’re going to pull out my jump key?
