Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 388



Episode 388: Wild Horse (2)

A community of evil spirits that opens at midnight on the 15th of every month.

Time flows differently inside Ghostbusters than outside.

‘1 hour here is 1 second outside.’

To put it simply even if the entire 12 hours that the community is maintained are used up only 12 seconds have passed on the outside.

but….

‘I won’t wait that long.’

The marquis’ intentions are clear.

He has an unconfirmed question for me and he will try to confirm it with me tonight.

There is only one problem here.

How much time do I have?

First of all the free time I hoped for was 4 seconds.

If you do that you will have time to participate and leave the round table that will be held in 3 hours.

Suspicions due to the investigator’s absence can be prevented and there is no loss of information that would occur if the round table took a break.

Damn it.

‘As expected 4 seconds is too close.’

I suppressed the creeping greed.

Yes let’s give up what we have to give up as planned.

Click click.

A computer that boots up as soon as a decision is made.

I quickly used the mouse to check the chat room.

[Long Live Korean Independence] – 1 person is online.

Without wasting any time I immediately entered the chat room.

[HS123]

First of all the player who was online was Hyeonbyeol.

I wondered if the GM had released Baekho Lee’s van as I requested and he might have come.

Well there’s still time left.

“Are you here?”

Hyeonbyeol who was sitting on the sofa raised her head with her legs crossed and looked at me.

White blouse and formal skirt.

This time the outfit is still the same.

“What is that way of talking? “As if I couldn’t have come.”

As I sat down on the sofa across from him and spoke naturally Tiki Taka which reminded me of the old days followed.

“I thought that my brother might be able to do that. “You usually ran away whenever something inconvenient happened right?”

How can I run away?

“If it’s not something that absolutely needs to be solved then there’s no more wasted energy.”

The national rule is to skip events where the rewards are high compared to the level of difficulty.

Pursuing efficiency means reducing waste.

Like right now.

“Hyeonbyul.”

There was no time to waste on trivial chit-chat so we got straight to the point.

“Did you meet the GM last time?”

This was the real reason why I entered the chat room instead of leaving right away even though it was not time to participate in the round table.

That’s because I was trying to confirm this from this point of view.

Hyeonbyeol who had slightly furrowed her eyebrows at my question opened her small lips.

“…How did you know?”

Words of affirmation not negativity.

I calmly explained the basis for my suspicions.

“It’s strange that a message came while we were talking. “I did a little research.”

The first time I felt uncomfortable was after I broke up with Hyeonbyeol.

As I returned to my room and was fiddling with the mouse I remembered the GM who was very interested in this chat room.

As a GM you can check who is in the chat room even if you cannot eavesdrop on the contents of the chat room.

Suspicious that it was the GM who sent the message to Hyeonbyeol I searched a chat room and kept an eye on the number of people.

And it wasn’t long before I was able to confirm it.

“The number of people in the secret chat room that the GM often uses quickly increased to three. “I thought it was you because the timing was odd.”

“…Then why didn’t you call me back then and waited until today?”

“Because GM could spy on the message.”

“Then you can just ask them to come to the chat room.”

“You might think that’s strange.”

“…it’s annoying.”

Hyeonbyeol glanced at me and sighed.

“I’m telling you in advance that you might misunderstand but I had no intention of deceiving you.”

“know.”

“I was going to tell you today. Of course it would be hard for you to believe it… huh? “What did you just say?”

“I know. “He had no intention of deceiving.”

Hyeonbyeol’s expression became strange at my words.

“That’s nice of you to say that but… on what basis?”

The basis is simple.

“If you were planning on hiding it you wouldn’t have answered my question so easily.”

Due to his personality he probably hid it more thoroughly.

Even though he thought he might have been caught he probably denied it until the end just in case.

“But maybe I was acting?”

“If you get there there are no limits. “If you still don’t understand just think that I wanted to believe you.”

When I laughed and said jokingly Hyeonbyeol kept her mouth shut.

And then he looked at me for a while…

“…Oppa did you find a girl here?”

I asked such an unexpected question.

As soon as she heard it Misha came to mind but she decided to check the reason first.

“But why is that suddenly…?”

When I asked again Hyeonbyeol trailed off in a slightly strange voice.

“Just like that. “I thought her speaking skills had improved….”

Is this a compliment or a criticism?

Deciding to consider it the former I changed the topic.

Not only was it not a topic I wanted to continue for a long time but I also didn’t have the time to do so.

“But Hyunbyeol I don’t have time?”

“Is this the efficient avoidance you mentioned earlier?”

“It’s not that it’s because I really don’t have any. “I’m just going to check what I need to check so please answer only that.”

“all right. “What is it?”

“What did GM offer you?”

“They said they would give you GP or something and ask you to become a spy?”

“As expected it was like that.”

“What does your brother do that someone like him is so obsessed with? That person’s nickname was strange too…”

“It just so happened. “I didn’t do anything special.”

When I vaguely explained the question Hyeonbyeol didn’t ask too much.

“…Anyway what do you want me to do for you?”

“If I tell you will you do it?”

“Have I ever failed to do something you said?”

Uh… a lot?

Well did you do most of the important things while grumbling?

Okay let’s just talk about it first.

“Spread the information I want to spill there.”

“great. “So is there something this time?”

“If I leave the chat room later I will log out immediately and the GM will probably wonder why. “Then tell me that I couldn’t have a long conversation because I was in the middle of a battle and that I left in a hurry promising next time.”

“great. But let me ask you just one question.”

“What is it?”

“Why are you really logging out?”

“that? “It’s similar to what I told GM.”

“You mean… you really came from a fight? “The labyrinth hasn’t even been opened yet?”

“I told you it’s similar.”

You can’t just say that fighting is about hitting and hitting with your body right?

Anyway this should be enough of an answer.

“Then I’m going! See you next time!”

I left the chat room without Hyunbyeol even having a chance to say anything.

***

A quiet study with furniture designed and filled by her.

“If it’s all over I’ll just go…”

“Yes I will give you the GP I promised right away.”

“Okay then…”

The GM quietly muttered as soon as the Asian woman who gave off an intellectual vibe but was somewhat clumsy left the room.

“That man is in combat… This feels really weird. “If that man is someone you need to save even a second for it means he is an enemy of a similar level.”

GM’s voice was full of disappointment. However there was no way the Soul Queens who had been with him for a long time did not know the reason for his feelings.

Actually she felt the same way.

Her nickname is HS123.

A Korean woman who said that if you don’t feel comfortable calling her just call her ‘Black Star’.

They didn’t know until the woman told them.

literally nothing.

She was usually confident in her intelligence but she didn’t even notice the signs until such a big name collided with her.

“…Still I’m glad we were able to capture Black Star. If there was a collision that caused the man to struggle traces would definitely be left behind. “For the time being let’s focus on finding those traces.”

While nodding their heads at the GM’s words the Soul Queens did not hesitate to ask one question.

“But there are also strange parts. “If the situation was really that urgent there was no reason for him to enter the chat room right?”

“But isn’t it him? He said his expression didn’t look that urgent. “I may have had that much confidence.”

“That too… I guess so.”

It’s really strange but the Soul Queens may have really been like that.

No I thought it was definitely like that.

Because I couldn’t imagine the impatient look on the investigator’s face.

He was like a giant.

Because he has absolute faith in himself he always takes a leisurely pace but he still leaves a big mark.

“Rather than that… Shouldn’t you prepare soon Soul Queens?”

“Are you ready?”

“Isn’t it soon time to enter the round table?”

“But the investigator won’t come anyway.”

“But isn’t there some pretty useful information being handled there? Above all there is a corpse collector who is connected to Noark. Come and see it sometime. “Maybe we can get some information about a conflict that is happening somewhere right now.”

“Since you said so… I understand.”

The Soul Queens responded to the GM’s instructions without a word and left the chat room. And as soon as it was time to enter he entered the ‘Watcher of the Round Table’.

“You came early?”

“yes. “I have time left.”

It was her fox mask that arrived before her.

As we briefly exchanged greetings members entered one by one.

Goblin Crescent.

and….

“Fishish why can’t I see that deer-horned man today?”

Even clowns.

A total of five people gathered at the round table and this continued until the door was slammed shut signaling the end of admission.

“That guy with deer horns it doesn’t matter whether he’s a guest somewhere or not but this is a bit troublesome. “I can’t believe Mr. Susa didn’t come.”

A clown who stands up without any regrets.

Still he didn’t stop grunting.

“Isn’t it true that you didn’t come because you always bring the same thing? “Ugh to think that these things will strain my neck outside…”

The clown who was heading towards the door while muttering looked at the Soul Queens with his tail blurred.

“huh? “Isn’t the Queen going?”

“yes. “I just want to attend this time.”

“If I were to leave too would only those idiots be left?”

The Soul Queens laughed loudly covering their mouths at the clown’s arrogant words.

“Oh my what an interesting thing to say. Actually there’s nothing special about being a clown right?”

“Are you trying to say that I’m on the same level as them?”

“Hmm seeing as I believe the investigator couldn’t come because he wasn’t satisfied with our information it seems somewhat similar doesn’t it?”

“…It’s as if you know why Mr. Susa didn’t come.”

“well. I can’t tell you this bare-faced. Oh if you’re really curious why don’t we just take a spin?”

“…Fishish bravado. I almost got fooled. “There’s no way you know about Mr. Suja.”

“Are you really sure? Then you can just leave.”

Even though she spoke tauntingly the clown’s frozen feet did not move.

It was somewhat expected.

Because the clown’s blind interest in the investigator was not something new.

Tuk.

Before I knew it the clown had turned from heading towards the door and sat down muttering as if making an excuse.

“…Well it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wait and see how absurd things he says before leaving. Fishit.”

She spoke rudely but it was still as she intended. It was true that high-quality information only came from a clown.

“….”

“….”

As the clown sat down like that all eyes naturally gathered.

Seeing her eyes full of anticipation and curiosity she raised the corner of her mouth beneath her mask.

Although she had no intention of taking the first turn she seemed to have no particular reason to avoid it.

“Fishit why are you keeping quiet when she’s in trouble? Well what do you think I couldn’t figure out—”

She muttered briefly interrupting the clown.

“The investigator is currently fighting someone.”

As soon as he finished speaking the clown couldn’t even get angry at the interruption and shifted his gaze to one place.

The very place where the jewel that obscures the truth is located.

Not only the clown but all the members were staring there with their eyes shining brightly.

and….

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Soon light flowed from the jewel.

“It’s a super green light.”

After the goblin broke the silence a commotion broke out.

“Queen are you sure that you have discovered the identity of the lion?”

Crescent Moon was so excited that he kicked the table and stood up and Fox Mask also muttered softly.

“I’m not the queen. “GM must have figured it out.”

“More than that… Mr. Sousa is fighting so much that he can’t participate in the rally. Who on earth is that opponent…?”

Soon the goblin seemed to have sensed that something unusual was going on and his tone trailed off.

and….

“….”

The clown said nothing.

“Jester you suddenly became quiet—”

“how….”

“…?”

“How were you able to find out…? Could it be that he told you? But then why? To you first not to me?”

Her jester’s words which had been leisurely just a moment ago were full of excitement and her eyes revealed through the cracks in her mask were staring straight at her.

A look of more passionate interest than ever before.

“Hmm I don’t know. “Why?”

She raised the corners of her mouth without realizing it.

“If I tell you an interesting story maybe you can tell me why?”

I felt like I was going to become addicted.

***

“The character moves to Lapdonia.”

***

About 20 minutes from Ghostbusters.

When converted to real time it is about 0.3 seconds.

That time is too short for something to happen in an unoccupied room.

However after finishing the conversation with Hyeonbyeol I pressed the logout button without hesitation.

Well we decided not to go to the round table anyway.

If I had stayed I would have just looked around the bulletin board and giggled so I decided it would be better to come out a little early and prepare for the situation.

but….

‘It’s quiet.’

When I opened my eyes all I was greeted with was darkness the same as before.

No sound can be heard and the window frame is closed tightly—

Crash.

At that time the locked door was opened.

And that moment.

Sigh.

Even though my eyes were closed my warrior body which had entered the realm of the superhuman sensed an unknown person quickly approaching my body.

‘If I had taken my time and came out I would have been in big trouble.’

The time it took for the door to open and him to arrive here was only about 1 second.

This isn’t even a cockroach.

I immediately got up and stretched out my hand.

Kwaaak-

Something I grabbed hold of all at once.

“…!”

I stood up from the bed and confirmed the identity of the uninvited guest in the night.

A completely unexpected person was struggling in my hands.

“El Tora Terserion.”

I never would have thought that the Prime Minister’s son would come in person.

Of course there was no reason to panic.

Even if I were a grandfather instead of a son what I have to do would remain the same.

“…I hope you came prepared to get hurt.”

I plan to accept the full price of being called without even being able to participate in community activities.
