Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 364



Episode 364: Responsibility (2)

Lehen Schuitz.

Actually if you think about it it’s not a bad idea to live under that name at all.

With my current qualifications I will be able to save enough money to retire in just a few years even with my powers hidden.

Of course if that happens you have to give up on returning but…

‘Whatever that is.’

I have already finished adapting.

Now this world is not as terrible as before and recently I have often thought that it is better than my original life.

There are people here I can trust.

Because there are people who believe in me.

These were relationships that had never existed in Lee Han-su’s life.

but….

‘There is no guarantee that you can hide your identity forever.’

How long can the new identity of Lihen Schuitz last?

Well no matter how careful you are it won’t last forever.

Not only do we not know what will happen in the future but…

‘There are already many witnesses.’

Eventually the story about Lehen Schuitz will spread.

Even if Raven posted a false report there was a clown there.

He said he met an interesting guy and they were having a blast at the round table.

There are deer antlers at the round table so it is obvious that the news spread to the royal family.

‘In addition he showed me how to use the essence of the gachabon.’

It is not a well-known essence but eventually through research you will learn about this essence and become aware of bone density. Then you will find out that my original height is much taller.

Well there is another decisive reason.

‘Auril Gavis.’

I still don’t know what the old man did to me when he gave me this empty ‘gift’.

Simply put hiding your identity and living in the dark does not guarantee safety.

So the conclusion is still the same.

Just as I did when I told a witch doctor about my fate while he was reading my fortune.

‘You have to become stronger.’

So that I can endure whatever comes my way.

***

Huuuuuung-!

While we were discussing the future in the officer’s office the crystal ball on the table began to vibrate.

“It is a military message stone that is directly connected to the command center. “I guess we’ll have to talk about what we were talking about later when we have time.”

Well we can’t just focus on ourselves forever during the war.

Honestly I wondered if I could continue like this.

“We are out.”

“no. You don’t have to. Because it is also an escort in name. “Please be quiet when contacting us.”

“If that’s the case.”

After receiving a call from the command center Raven conversed in a businesslike manner and soon summoned the officers in the unit.

and….

“Vice-captain but those people….”

“Never mind. “They are my escorts.”

“I’m still having a meeting…”

“Are you going to make me say it twice?”

“….”

Wow this guy really has the personality of a commander.

Even though she is so small her voice is so full of coldness.

“Then let’s start the meeting. An order was just given from the command center. “They say the enemy’s biological waves cannot be detected within the barrier.”

Anyway we stayed by Raven’s side and were able to see at a glance how things were going.

Did you say that the enemy troops surrounding the lake disappeared in an instant? This happened two hours after the entire army retreated to the military line.

“It could be a trap. To get us to get off the ship on our own feet.”

“well. “I give more weight to the opinion that there was a retreat.”

“Everyone please be quiet. Inference is meaningless anyway. “The command decided to mobilize troops from each unit to conduct a search.”

Raven must have already thought about who to send and without hesitation he selected his members and transferred them to the search force.

And how long has he passed?

Information was updated in real time through the troops who went out to search.

[Nothing is visible around the lake.]

First of all the lakeside which was full of clown-like undead was empty.

also….

[It is said that traces of large-scale magic were discovered in the 2nd search team.]

Traces of magic were discovered.

As a result it was a multi-teleportation magic circle.

When [Wall of Heavenly Gold] is activated you cannot use teleportation magic to come inside from the outside but the reverse is not true.

The command also judged that the enemy had retreated.

but….

“The standby order was issued again. It may be a little inconvenient but we will wait on the ship until the [Wall of Heavenly Gold] falls and the main unit returns. “The alert status continues to remain at the current level.”

“Yes I will pass this on to the explorers as well!”

Under the judgment of the command all troops remained on the military line and did not go out to the lakeside.

And more time passes….

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The [Wall of Heavenly Gold] which had run out of maintenance time turned into magical particles and collapsed and the main unit that was on the expedition rejoined.

Only then did we come out to the lake and begin to clear the battlefield. The main unit waited for about a day to confirm that it was safe and then went on another expedition leaving behind some additional troops just in case.

“The main unit’s goal was to find Noark’s base right?”

“yes. The entrance to be exact. It is most likely connected to a certain area like the center of the Crystal Cave. “If we can find that place and occupy it we can study how this was possible.”

Wow it must be really hectic to see it.

To search with a large force on the 7th floor.

While I was thinking about that Raven took a long breath.

“…Still I’m glad it ended well without any major incident.”

It’s not like there were no major issues at all….

Well it’s not like anyone died or anything like that.

Now that this incident has been resolved I also feel that it is definitely over.

but….

“I hope there are no incidents until I return.”

Well there is a saying that words become seeds.

Raven’s complaint made me feel uneasy but I couldn’t believe something would happen again.

Now we have quite a few troops—

“…Patrol team?”

At that time an article written on one of the documents on the table caught my eye.

“Oh that? I guess there was a lot of talk above because of this incident. “No matter how small it was we didn’t notice it until we infiltrated it.”

“So you decided to deploy patrol troops?”

“yes.”

Raven gave a short answer as if she was busy and then went back to engrossed in paperwork.

Huh wouldn’t you be bored if you were stuck here?

I think I’m so sore that I have a sweet taste in my mouth.

“Are you very bored uncle?”

“little?”

“Then shall we go for a walk together?”

“Then who protects Raven?”

“What’s the problem? “That woman will still be there anyway.”

Amelia became upset at Erwen’s words.

“…Whoever wants it?”

“To be sensitive. “When the two of us come back you can go rest then right?”

Oh no we’re going to fight again.

“Both of you stop it. “I have no intention of going for a walk.”

After mediating between the two I sat on a chair and spent some time in silence.

As I was doing that I felt even more bored.

‘Anyway it’s a patrol team….’

It may be a bit impulsive but I thought it would be much better than sitting here like this.

If you’re on patrol aren’t you going to go out and walk around?

Since you will encounter monsters often the experience points you have not accumulated yet will naturally be supplied.

‘If I do well I might be able to reach level 7 this time.’

The worries didn’t last long.

“What do I have to do to join the Raven Patrol?”

“…I can’t go.”

“huh? “Why?”

“We’ve already hired all the people. Moreover in principle once a mission is assigned it cannot be changed. Otherwise everyone will only try to take easy missions. “There are also issues of fairness.”

Oh I see.

I nodded and asked the question again.

“But I guess there’s another way?”

“…Mission changes are possible at the discretion of the commander of the unit.”

Well you were just making fun of me.

He’s also mean.

“Aren’t you the commander? “You just have to change it—”

“So I can’t go. “Because I won’t do it.”

“…huh?”

“So I’m not going to do it. “Do you know what kind of accident will happen there while I’m away?”

Raven coldly drew a line without even looking in this direction.

Of course it wasn’t a big problem.

Because that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up.

“haha! “Is that the only problem?”

When he smiled as if it was no big deal Raven tilted his head.

“…?”

What are those eyes?

This is why study bugs don’t work.

Should we say that the brain is hardened and the flexibility of thinking is reduced?

“The problem is because you’re not here?”

“…?”

“Then we can go together!”

As soon as I suggested a solution Raven narrowed her eyes and looked me up and down.

and….

“I’m asking just in case you don’t know. Are there barbarians or similar races in that world?”

Ah uh um….

“….”

I ended up hearing an unexpected question.

***

As a result I ended up joining the patrol team.

Well Raven is a rationalist.

“Do it!”

“….”

“Do it! “Don’t you promise not to cause an accident!”

“….”

“Do it!”

It’s called Barbarian Parrot Mode.

When I activated the mode that had greatly benefited me in the Crystal Cave the previous day Raven who had initially ignored me gradually had no choice but to react.

“No people are just persistent in strange places!”

“Then do it!”

“…I wish I had said no! And if you haven’t answered in over four hours!! “You have to listen carefully and know how to stop!!”

“I don’t know so do it!!”

“ha….”

If the other person sighs after ending their anger it is a sign of resignation.

I continued to dig into the gap and eventually Raven gave me permission.

Since I was thinking about being interrupted from work for the rest of the day I decided that this would be better.

Oh that doesn’t mean he just lost to my stubbornness.

“Oh really! Why are you doing this!! “I just need to be quiet for a few days!!”

“…Because there are monsters outside.”

“…?”

“I told you didn’t I? “I need to become stronger.”

“Oh really… if you say that what should I do…”

So the OK sign was given.

Oh of course as I first said it wasn’t a condition for Raven to come along.

I said it would be better for me to go with you but the command wouldn’t give me permission for that?

“I am the only wizard here who can use [Wall of Thousand Gold]. “I have to stay behind just in case something happens.”

Now that I think about it this was a valuable force.

“Then leave Emily or Erwen behind.”

“If you’re doing it because of my escort there’s no need to do that. In the first place Yandel… or rather I got along well even when Mr. Schuitz wasn’t around so what?”

Well I’m still worried…

“I’m really fine so don’t go and cause an accident. In particular never use [Giant]. Don’t neglect your patrol duties just because you’re catching monsters. And again…”

After listening to the warnings for a long time as if I were an elementary school student going on a picnic Raven contacted the higher-ups and changed my affiliation and only then was I able to leave the barracks.

Coincidentally there was a patrol team just leaving.

“These are the new people who were just added. “It is an honor to meet you Tersia.”

As soon as we arrived at our destination the leader of Sunjaljo opened his face and started checking our specifications.

“Hyeolryeonghu is good at archery and elemental magic so you should stand in the center formation… Are the other two of you in the melee class?”

“exactly.”

As I nodded the leader checked the positions in more detail and Amelia an agility-oriented dealer was placed on the left wing of the formation.

And I…

“Looking at the heavily armored armor and shield it looks like he was in charge of the vanguard—”

Ugh where can I fit this small body?

I hurriedly cut her off before she was labeled as a tank.

“I am the one who destroys things.”

“…yes? “Then what about that shield…?”

“It’s something you carry with you in form.”

I put the shield into space and grabbed Crowl’s demon crusher with both of her hands.

“I stand on the right.”

Anyway you won’t be able to use [Giantization] and go on a rampage.

You can comfortably stand in a close-deal position at least once right?
