Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 367



Episode 367: Responsibility (5)

Height is almost 2m.

However because the proportions are good and the muscles attached to the body are slim it does not feel hypertrophied.

but….

‘It feels strange to be in the position of looking up.’

As expected the essence of Bone Knight was erased?

Seeing Einar after a long time felt unfamiliar.

We’ve been seeing her like that ever since her physique shrunk in the beginning. Well when I look back on my memories her face from back then still remains….

‘… She looked completely young back then.’

She has become much more mature than she was in my memories.

Hmm maybe it’s a difference in her status rather than a change in her face itself?

“haha! A person can fall asleep after reading a book. “Are you discriminating against me because I’m a barbarian?”

“I… it’s not like that. I really—.”

“You’re kidding! joke! I promise there won’t be any more trouble in the future so please just take a look. huh?”

Her generous speaking style gave off a feeling of ease and her speaking skills also improved considerably. Even though she lifts the other person and puts them down she naturally leads them into an atmosphere that is difficult to refuse.

I was honestly impressed too.

Now he can also use the characteristics of the barbarian tribe.

“…If you say that I understand.”

“Haha thank you! “Oh would you like some beef jerky?”

“…it’s okay. And the food in the building is—.”

“embrace! It was just because you were so skinny. Now go quickly! “You must be busy with work!”

Einar who almost pushed the librarian’s back to send her away opened the book and began to read as if she was going to keep her promise not to sleep.

‘Now… are you even reading?’

For some reason my heart is pounding.

So she kept glancing at Einar across from her pretending to look at the book she was reading.

“Uhm….”

Einar frowned at her.

It seems like there was a part of the book that got stuck somewhere.

However even here changes in Einar were felt.

“Hey buddy!”

Einar looks at me and speaks without hesitation.

“…Are you calling me?”

“Haha what a strange friend! Is there anything else? “Can you come here and read this for me?”

Huh I never thought calling a human a friend would be enough to ask for help.

By any chance… do I look like a barbarian in his eyes?

“Don’t be scared! “I’m not harming you!”

“…I wasn’t scared but because I was surprised. I heard that barbarians hate humans.”

“Those are all prejudices prejudices! “Well I was like that at one point but I’ve gradually come to realize that there’s no reason to hate it.”

Well I don’t think I was mistaken for a barbarian.

It didn’t seem like he was thinking of Bjorn Yandel when he looked at me so he obediently moved on.

“I’m reading here and I don’t even understand this word. “Can you tell me what it means?”

“This is… read as logistics. “It refers to a branch of the military that manages or supplies supplies.”

“Class? What is that? “It’s a delicious-sounding name.”

No he can’t read anything but he’s reading a military book?

It was absurd but I answered the question first.

Then looking at the books piled next to me I saw that there were various types of books other than military books.

Most of them are books related to history.

‘…He reads these books?’

“Anyway thank you! “Thanks to you I can finally read it!”

Soon after the word explanation was over Einar began to concentrate on reading again and I returned to my seat.

And how long has it been?

I finally couldn’t hold back and asked.

“But… why are you reading such a book?”

“huh? “Are you arguing with me now?”

“No that’s not it….”

“Haha! Don’t make that face. “I know full well that I look unique!”

What is this guy he lifted up a real person…

As I was staring at Einar who was smiling brightly Einar soon changed her expression to serious and muttered.

“The warrior I most respected read books often.”

“….”

“Well no matter what I can’t even follow his toes… But still someone has to do something.”

A voice that feels somewhat lonely.

At this I recalled what I had heard about Aanar’s current status from Erwen and Raven.

‘After my death… he declared that he would become the tribal leader.’

It was an ambition that I boldly expressed in front of my fellow countrymen who were grieving after I who was considered a strong candidate died.

At first his fellow countrymen were skeptical but as time went by they began to accept him one by one and now he is almost considered a successor.

“Anyway… I’m a little disappointed huh?”

Suddenly Einar looked at me and licked his lips.

“…What do you mean?”

“I think he would have a pretty handsome face if he were born a barbarian.”

“…exactly?”

“Anyway it’s fate that we met here so why don’t we just say our names? Einarda Pnellin’s second daughter. you?”

“Lehen Schuitz.”

When I revealed her pseudonym Ai Nar pondered it as if it were engraved in her head and then handed me some of the books she had piled up.

“Why are you giving me this all of a sudden?”

“It’s the gift of becoming a friend.”

No there is no one who gives library books as gifts.

She can’t take it out anyway.

“…Thank you.”

Although I was dumbfounded I expressed my gratitude even if it was just empty words.

But what kind of situation is this?

“Thank you. “It’s natural for a higher species.”

“…a higher species?”

“Oh I guess that’s a bit of a difficult word? Actually as a human I don’t know…”

Einar looked at her surroundings and spoke softly so that only I could hear.

“Barbarians are actually the most superior race in the world.”

…huh?

“You will know when you read the book. “Whether what I say is true or not.”

She inadvertently checked the title of the book she was handed.

[The secret selfish superiority factor of the heart]

[Barbarian III – Why did wizards covet their hearts?]

[Seven reasons why you should not antagonize barbarians learning from the Holy Relic War.]

…They were books with that name.

***

“Aren’t you reading?”

“…I’m reading.”

Because she kept getting noticed she read through the books she had received countless times.

To be honest I was also curious.

The title of the book is only this but the content may be surprisingly normal.

‘…is a piece of shit.’

I don’t know who the author of the book is but the contents are all the same.

An article praising barbarians as a great race.

What on earth were they thinking when writing this book?

Judging by the way the book was written the race would not have been barbarian. If they were sane they wouldn’t have published it thinking that Barbarians were in demand.

Tuk.

I gave up understanding and closed the book.

Then Einar looked at me from across the room his eyes sparkling.

“How was it? “Isn’t it a good book?”

“…It was definitely an interesting story.”

“Hehe don’t be too frustrated though. The human race is not that inferior. “We are just special.”

“….”

“Do you know? The literacy rate of barbarians is 99 times that of humans. But despite this we still maintain and pass on traditions that go back thousands of years. “This is something no other race has ever done.”

“….”

“Oh and do you know why barbarians don’t float? “That’s actually because the density of our souls is overwhelmingly higher than that of other races.”

“Hey but do you know what density is?”

“…There’s a reason why spirit imprinting is only available to barbarians!”

You don’t know.

“Because there is no soul as pure and clean as ours….”

I got up from my seat.

“…huh? Where are you going? “It’s just the beginning.”

“I’m sorry but I remembered something else to do. “I’ll see you later when I can.”

“…okay? If that’s the case there’s nothing we can do. Goodbye.”

It was nice to meet Einar but I felt like I would have to listen to this story all day long so I quickly jumped out.

and….

‘If I stay here I won’t be noticed.’

I moved to a corner and read the new book I had taken out.

Most of them were about the latest information.

There were quite a few books that bundled and published the contents of newspapers published throughout the year.

‘I heard that the royal family implemented many policies for low-class explorers and these were things like this.’

While I was reading the book and getting information my hands that were turning the pages became stiff without me realizing it.

This is because a familiar name appeared in an article from a year ago.

[Explorer’s Guild’s 7th Region Head Niall Urban decided to voluntarily resign due to personal reasons not a political dispute.]

That guy retired?

My interest was piqued and I read the contents in detail and before I knew it I had reached the end of the article.

[As for his sudden decision to retire who was so active that he even ran for guild leader just two years ago his acquaintances are unanimous in saying that his daughter’s death a year ago may have brought about a change of heart.]

My daughter’s death a year ago.

“…was she an only child?”

Well I don’t know much about that.

Because she wasn’t particularly close.

‘Still let’s check it out.’

While I was at it I took out a book containing articles from a year ago and checked them one by one and soon I was able to find what I was looking for.

[Julian Urbans the eldest daughter of the Urbans family. Announcement of marriage with the general manager of Alminus Company.]

First of all it was an engagement article.

and….

[Julian Urban died on the night of his wedding.]

An obituary was posted three months later.

The cause of death was a fall due to a slip.

They say she was drunk and fell head first from the third floor terrace….

[When Niall Urban was asked for compensation he once again stubbornly insisted that it was not a suicide but a death by accident.]

It somehow tastes bitter.

It wasn’t a deep relationship but I know what happened so should I say I’m responsible for it?

‘It’s okay let’s go back for today.’

I guess I shouldn’t have looked for it….

***

One day two days three days four days….

As always time passed very quickly in the city.

Well there are quite a lot of things to do at the beginning of the month.

As I was exchanging vouchers for money and selling equipment time really flew by.

And the time for settlement has arrived.

“This is more than enough to pay off all my debt.”

“So then I don’t have to sell the house!”

“That being said I would like to postpone paying off the debt.”

“Why…?”

That’s because there’s still plenty left until the due date.

Right now there are places where you need to invest money first.

“Oh if you want to do that… well there’s nothing you can do about it… but where on earth are you going to spend that much money…”

“I’m going to buy a boat.”

“…a boat?”

Erwen tilted her head while Amelia nodded her head as if she knew what I was thinking.

“Well if you’re not going to keep participating in the war it would be better to have at least one ship.”

“It’s just as you said. “The place I plan to go to next on my exploration is also on the 6th floor.”

Since he didn’t have money right now he participated in the war as a mercenary but the target amount was covered in just one expedition.

There is no reason to go to war again.

Considering the daily wage I received this time I will make good money but there is something more important to me than that.

“Where are you trying to go…?”

“It’s an underground island.”

“…Underground Island? “Is there an island with that name on the 6th floor?”

As you can tell just by looking at Amelia’s reaction it is not a generally well-known island.

Well I guess you would understand if you were at Raven level.

Anyway when I briefly explained the characteristics of the underground island she looked as if Erwen and Amelia had also heard of it.

“It’s a hidden island under the sea… Now I see you were talking about that place.”

“I think my sister told me about it before!”

“But can we go with just the three of us? “There’s no navigator?”

“So I have to start looking for it now.”

“…I’m going to be busy again for a while.”

Fortunately they both agreed to follow my exploration plan without much disagreement and starting the next day we worked hard to find a ship and navigator.

And just like that time goes by endlessly…

“What about Erwen?”

“I’m sleeping.”

“okay? “There’s no need for you to come.”

“…But you never know. “If you don’t like it don’t come again next time.”

Oh I didn’t say I didn’t like it….

“Hehehe I meant thank you.”

“…How can that mean that?”

If that’s the case then you’d think that’s the case.

I chuckled and checked the clock on the table.

and….

“Then let’s go.”

“okay.”

As soon as I closed my eyes in relief the whole world was colored with white light.

“The character’s soul resonates and is drawn to a specific world.”

Now let’s turn on the computer first.
