Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 360
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 360: Interrogation (2)
Raven climbed the stairs to the deck and hurried to the ship’s officer’s office.
When he arrived all the platoon commanders in his corps as well as the deputy commander he had sent earlier had already gathered.
“Vice-Captain Raven! You’re safe! Thank goodness! “We were already late in returning so we were trying to form a support group among ourselves—”
“I have to report so everyone please leave.”
“…yes? Ah yes!”
The executives who had gathered at Raven’s seemingly urgent order gave up their doubts and followed the order.
The officer’s office was completely emptied in just a few seconds.
“….”
With a complicated face Raven placed her hand on the military message stone placed in his cabin.
“Nia Lafdonia. This is Arua Raven vice-captain of the 3rd Magic Army. His movement was delayed to secure a route for his men to retreat and he has now returned. “Please share about the current situation.”
[Nia Lafdonia. This is Eltora Tercerion Chief of Staff of the 3rd Legion. I was worried when I heard that you went to stop the blood knight but I’m glad you’re safe.]
“…Excuse me but why did the chief of staff contact me instead of the corps commander…?”
[This is because I am the second in command who takes over the position of the highest commanding authority in times of war when he is absent.]
“Absence… are you talking about?”
[Count Ramleonde So has died. While on the move after giving the order to gather all units he was ambushed by a group of criminals led by the traitor Ricardo Lüchenprague.]
“That can’t be possible….”
[The attack stopped after the entire army retreated to the lake but we are not sure what will happen in the future so command your unit and be on guard around the surrounding area until further instructions are given.]
From then on the currently known scale of damage and information about the enemies who carried out this attack were shared briefly and clearly.
and….
[I think I’ve conveyed everything you need to know. Now you try it. Were you really a blood knight?]
In response to her superior’s question Raven summarized everything that had happened so far and submitted a report.
What’s left to stop the blood knight.
During the push enemy reinforcements joined in.
And even after killing the ‘lighthouse keeper’ during the battle he retreated through multiple teleportation magic.
The process was omitted in just a few words and only the results were reported very briefly.

It wasn’t just to save time.
If that were the case I wouldn’t have had to awkwardly close my mouth over these words.
[The lighthouse keeper has been dealt with… This is indeed good news. Well done. I also tell Hyeolryeonghu that there will be a reward for his major in the future.]
The superiors thought that this major was achieved through the contribution of Hyeolryeonghu but the reality was completely different.
Lehen Schuitz.
It was thanks to that man that no one was harmed by the infamous Blood Knight and it was he who finally killed the lighthouse keeper.
but….
[Then I’ll stop for now.]
Raven couldn’t say that until the end.
No where is that?
‘Amelia Lane Wales.’
Nor was it mentioned about the woman who was as active as her blood spirit during the battle. Even though it was clear that she was the woman from Noarque whom he had met on the island of Farune at that time.
Information was intentionally withheld.
Even though he did not lie it is clear that he abandoned his duty as a soldier.
“ha….”
She who had always played her part faithfully felt deep remorse.
But what can you do?
First of all I needed some time to organize my thoughts.
‘Lehen Schuitz….’
A man who introduced himself with that name.
Until now she had thought that the man was Erwen looking for someone who looked like him and taking him with him.
However when she saw [She Became Giant] she felt like she might be wondering.
If she wasn’t a lookalike.
If that was the reason Erwen called him ‘uncle’.
What if that person was actually alive?
“…I don’t know.”
I’m confused.
It’s hard to be sure of anything.
I wonder if he is really that person but I also wonder if he is just a person with many similarities.
Because there were obviously many differences.
‘Height and face.’
and.
[You… de de de back…!]
When I unconsciously reached out to the wound the blood I touched was only hot and sticky.
His blood should have stung.
There is also another difference.
‘…too strong.’

A body that blocks the Blood Knight’s aura.
A unique ability to repel magic.
In addition he has the ability to pull enemies in using the wind.
If it were Yandel of the past he would not have been able to show such prestige against such strong opponents.
but….
‘Because time has passed.’
There is a possibility that he became stronger after eating the new essence.
Erwen a member of the Seven Rivers and myself have changed a lot in the past two years.
‘then….’
The more Raven sorted out the countless pieces of information that had been injected in a short period of time the more she found herself leaning towards the fact that Bjorn Yandel was alive.
What was decisive was Amelia’s presence.
In the end nothing was revealed but it is true that there were still unconvincing questions about that person’s death.
But the person who went missing together is alive and well?
This is nothing more than an indication of the possibility that the person is alive.
But the problem is…
‘If it’s really Mr. Yandel then what should I do?’
Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.
She had already made such a formal announcement in the royal family and she knew about it even before making the announcement.
Because she saw that look.
[You said there would be a rumor that Mr. Yandel is an evil spirit but that… isn’t just a rumor?]
Misha who had the longest and deepest relationship with Yandel among her colleagues did not answer.
But her trembling eyes contained the truth.
Tak tak tak.
Raven bit her nails for the first time in a long time.
It was a habit he only got out when he was psychologically cornered.
Unlike usual there was no self-objectification at all.
Even though I’m hoping that guy is Yandel I’m confident that he isn’t.
but….
“What can I do? “I’ll have to check.”
Soon Raven made up her mind.
she knew
No matter how afraid you are you should not put off what you have to do and run away.
***
No. 399 A cage of silence.
A trap-type number item that is activated when a spatial movement-type ability is used within a certain radius.
“That woman… she’s not going to come forever is she?”
“It will come. “And probably soon.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Because this cage won’t last forever.”
To be exact once activated it lasted for 2 hours.
For something like that the cooldown was extremely long.
‘Besides it’s impossible to beat him while he’s locked up.’
This was our critical weakness in silence.
Should we say that it is an item solely for ‘redemption’?
When this item is activated all external attacks are blocked.
Therefore usually this is used to trap them then spread out a siege formation and when released place Daguri etc….
Tuk.
The moment footsteps echoed across the hallway the soldier in charge of the guard raised a military salute in that direction.
“Nia Lafdonia!”
Yes you came.
“Thank you for watching over me. I have something to talk with them about so could you please leave for a moment? “Please keep everything that happened here a secret.”
“yes!”
Raven returned after about an hour was alone and had even bitten a soldier losing his hearing.
She said it was a positive sign but it was too early to be relieved.
I asked Raven first who was standing in front of the iron bars and quietly looking inside.
“…What are you going to do with us?”
“Are you still planning on using that tone?”
Huh it comes out strong from the beginning right?
Wouldn’t it be better to just reveal your identity at this point and try to persuade them to help you?
While I was thinking about this Raven continued.
“…Take off your helmet.”
Since I had already scratched my face anyway I obediently took off the lighthouse keeper’s blood-stained helmet.
Surprisingly there was no change in Raven’s expression.
“…and the armor you’re wearing.”
Hehe what are you looking at me for?
It was said that men and women were together for seven years.
“I cannot comply with unfair sexual demands. “If I were a woman I wouldn’t make such a request—”
“No what are you saying now?”
I tried to logically explain why I couldn’t take off the armor but Raven just looked at me with a straight face.
No it’s a bit scary…
“I haven’t reported anything about you yet. Also about Mr. Lane Wales next to him. But if you don’t do what I ask it’s a different story—”
“Take it off.”
“The words… became shorter?”
Well there’s no way to get out anyway.
Instead of giving a long reply I took off the armor that had a harpoon on the back.
and….
“…!”
At that time Raven’s expression changed for the first time.
His gaze which seemed somewhat agitated was fixed on my tattoo hidden inside the armor.
Huh I feel refreshed because it happens like this.
“It’s been a while Raven.”
“….”
“Why wasn’t it what you roughly expected?”
At my question Raven pursed his lips and glared at me.
“Still… I hoped not.”
“Because I’m an evil spirit?”
“is it so. “It would have been better if it remained only as good memories….”
Raven trailed off in a bitter voice.
This made me feel like my heart was tightening.
So you are the type of person who cannot accept that I am an evil spirit.
“wait for a sec!”
“…?”
“Raven it is a misunderstanding that I am an evil spirit.”
I quickly entered into the persuasion process.
“misunderstanding?”
“Yes I am not an evil spirit.”
“Then what is that?”
Raven clenched his fists as he looked at me.
“It looks like he reduced his height by eating the same essence of ‘Bornite’ that Einar ate… If he wasn’t an evil spirit there’s no reason to go to such lengths to hide his identity right?”
Yeah I knew that question would come.
“When I returned the royal family had already made such an announcement. After looking into it I found that there were a lot of questionable parts. So for the time being I was hiding my identity.”
“…I admit that there are many suspicious aspects to that announcement. But for now? And you came back? “What does that mean?”
Okay I think I succeeded in arousing curiosity.
“It’s a long story. “There is something called a Fragment Stone of Records—”
“for a moment!”
As I was about to explain what had happened Raven intervened and interrupted the conversation.
“There’s no need to say it in detail. “This is enough.”
As Raven spoke a familiar object was held in her hand.
No.7234 Broken trust.
A consumable item that prevents you from telling lies within a 10m radius when activated.
“Mr. Yandel you know what this is right? This is an item I received from Mr. Partheian in the Doppelganger Forest some time ago. “Previously the military budget was left over to make up for the number of times it was used up.”
Oh my be prepared thoroughly.
Huuuuung-!
In the meantime the power button was turned on and the hour hand embedded in the compass-sized disc began to move.
And in that state.
“Well then tell me now. “Is that really a misunderstanding?”
Raven asked staring at me intently.
‘…It’s going to be okay right?’
Even thinking about that I felt quite nervous.
I haven’t actually checked whether Auril Gavis’ ‘gift’ is working properly.
The plan was to go to the verification table only after purchasing ‘Broken Trust’ or something similar and checking it once.
but….
“Raven it’s really a misunderstanding. “I am not an evil spirit.”
Yes seeing as it is said like this the ‘gift’ does work properly—
Click.
At that time the hour hand which had been running smoothly stopped.
“…What have you done now?”
“uh….”
As I trailed off the hour hand started moving again.
Did a brief error occur?
“I’m not sure about that either…”
As I hurriedly continued to ignore it the ticking sound started again and the misplaced trust stopped working.
and….
Tick tick.
As time passed the movement began again.
“…Why does ‘broken trust’ stop whenever Mr. Yandel speaks?”
I swallowed at Raven’s question.
‘No they said I wouldn’t be affected by things like this in the future….’
Damn old man.
If it was going to be like this you should have told me in advance!
