Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

also in the city.

Hearing this alone made it seem like something big had happened, but he calmly checked the rest of the situation.

If that was true, wouldn’t it be strange that Einar was sleeping calmly in his room?

“Abducted? Please explain properly. What happened? Yes, from when it happened.”

“It happened yesterday!”

The incident happened only a day ago.

It is said that Einar and Misha were on their way back after having a simple meal outside that day.

But when I got home, what was this?

Prisoners dressed in black were waiting for Misha.

“Ah! I heard that it seemed to come from Misha’s home!”

If it’s the head family, they’ll be the ones sent by the family head.

“……so?”

“So what’s the matter! The beastmen whispered something to Mischa and took them by force!”

Well, can you say that you took it by force?

Once I asked for confirmation.

“Did Misha leave you with nothing?”

“I’ll be back tonight, so I told you to take care of yourself for a day. Ah! I also told you to come and meet Bjorn… I was so worried that I overslept!”

Unbeknownst to me, I laughed out loud.

It’s a back story that I overslept. Anyway, I left a comment before leaving, but why is this a kidnapping?

When I asked that question, a rather impressive answer came back.

“Misha, who said that to me, looked like she didn’t want to go!

Kidnapping because you took someone who didn’t want to go is common Bavarian logic.

However, I am also a barbarian.

“Yes, it is true that Misha was kidnapped.”

I know how pointless it is to argue with a barbarian about kidnapping or not.

“Isn’t it? Yesterday I was surprised and went to Aruru, but I was upset because she said it was nothing special!”

“What did Raven say?”

“I told you not to do anything strange until Bjorn comes back and wait at home. That’s why I haven’t even reported it to the police yet!”

ok you handled it well

It’s best to leave the barbarian to the barbarian.

If that doesn’t work, it’s best not to talk.

“So! What are you going to do, Bjorn! Of course you have to go there? Isn’t Misha our colleague!!”

I went in there and knew something would happen.

I just cut it out.

“Misha is also a warrior. You have to give her time until she can do it on her own.”

“That’s… that’s right!”

“Since he said he’d come back today, I’ll wait until night and if he doesn’t come, I’ll go look for him tomorrow by myself.”

“i get it!”

Einar readily accepted the remark without being stubborn.

“But it’s morning, aren’t you hungry?”

“Of course I’m hungry!”

First, I had breakfast with Ainar.

Then I checked what had happened while I was gone.

There was nothing to do.

The days that just became a training house and repeated.

It seems that they decided to skip the regular meeting that even Raven and Mr. Bear gathered together until I came out.

“Ah, at that time, Misha also admired Bjorn, saying that he was great.

“Uh… I see.”

A feeling of shame creeping in from nowhere.

Well, it’s a hundred times better than gossip behind your back…

I changed the subject.

“Did Misha pay for the food?”

“Oh, but I used it all up.”

“…I’ll leave the money behind, so take care of it until the night.”

“Are you leaving? Without waiting for Misha?”

“Isn’t nothing changing if I stay at home. I have to do my job. I hope Misha will too.”

After that, after eating, I put Einar in the room and went out.

First of all, the first destination was the magic tower.

“Ah, are you here? How are you feeling?”

“There seems to be no abnormalities, perhaps thanks to the antidote given by Mozlan.”

“It’s great. You’ve worked hard. Anyway, did you hear about Mr. Karlstein?”

“Okay. Don’t worry, I’m going to check on you if you don’t come by today.”

“You’ve never been worried from the start? Mr. Einar is strange. Why are you so upset when you go to his parents’ house?”

I smiled bitterly and kept quiet.

Unlike Raven, I know the circumstances surrounding Misha and her family.

So I have no choice but to worry.

“Rather than that, you said you couldn’t settle the bill without me? Let’s meet tomorrow.”

“What if Mr. Karlstein is late?”

“Then I will come back and tell you.”

After that, after briefly asking about the current situation, we decided on a meeting place and time and parted ways.

The next destination was Mr. Bear’s Tavern.

“Oh, you’re finally back. You’ve worked hard.”

“Has anything happened while I’m gone?”

“I don’t have anything specific to say. But shouldn’t that be something I should ask? Was it okay while staying at Bpron?”

“It wasn’t bad. It’s a comfortable place to live.”

Like Raven, I briefly talked to Mr. Bear about my current situation, informed him of the location and time, and made an appointment.

“Now I’m going to share the money.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting. I could have taken it first.”

“No, you have to do this in a place where everyone is there so there will be no confusion. Besides, it’s not that you couldn’t come to play.”

“Thank you for understanding. Then I will go.”

After leaving the tavern, I was a little worried.

There’s quite a bit of time left until dinner, but what are you going to do now? After organizing my thoughts for a while, I went to the library.

It’s hard to find a better place to pass the time… and

there are people who need to be reported alive.

“……Bjorn Yandel.”

As soon as I arrived at the library, Ragnar checked my face and stiffened.

“It’s been a while, right?”

I smiled and asked casually.

And I tried to explain why I didn’t show up for 20 days.

But before that, Ragnar’s mouth opened.

“I heard. He was exiled to Bifron for not using his superpowers in the city and breaking the control and entering the labyrinth.”

oh you knew

Well, after hearing it at the round table, it is said that it is a story that has become quite famous as it was a political discipline.

“I’m glad you came back safely. And I’m sorry.”

“Are you sorry?”

Apologies out of context at all.

As I tilted my head, Ragnar cautiously continued.

“I asked the butler if he could help, but he said it was an unavoidable problem…” I

still don’t understand.

Why are you apologizing and what is a butler?

When I asked again about this, Ragnar kept his mouth shut as if he had made a mistake.

So I didn’t dig too deep.

Because I can’t tell you about it anyway.

‘……For now, it seems like they’re talking about their own family.’

The interest in Ragnar, which had cooled down, rose again.

20 wizards of at least rank 5.

The rich man’s scent emanates from his clothes and staff.

And even the butler I just mentioned.

There were times when I was worried because he was a librarian, but when I saw him, he was an aristocrat.

But…

‘That’s a bit strange too.’

I’ve been curious about it before and I’ve looked into it.

There is no aristocratic family with the surname Peprok.

If so, what is his identity?

“…Are you going to read the book?”

“Oh yes. I think so.”

Ragnar changed the topic, as if the staring gaze was burdensome.

So I just went in to read a book.

‘Well, I’ll find out later when I get a chance.’

It’s not like he did anything to me.

It wouldn’t be good for someone else to dig up family affairs that they don’t want to talk about.

Whatever he is, the relationship right now isn’t bad.

‘……By the way, I couldn’t find the Total Haerok series today.’

I sat down and read a book until it was dark beyond the window, then I slowly cleared my seat and stood up.

The other day, I accidentally found Chong Hae-rok here, and I looked for it occasionally, but I couldn’t find it this time either.

“Are you going?”

“There’s someone waiting for you.”

“……okay.”

After returning to the inn, I ate dinner with Einar. And what did you do during the day?

“Today? After taking a nap, I was bored so I went to the Holy Land.”

“In the Holy Land?”

“It’s fun to teach young warriors. It reminds me of the old days.”

From my point of view, he doesn’t seem to have changed much from before, but…

Well, his fighting power has increased tremendously.

“Let’s go together next time. Everyone wants to see you. Haven’t you been gone for 20 days already?”

“Okay, let’s go together next time.”

After declaring that he would become the chief of the tribe, Nagi, who had been visiting the holy places for early education, agreed without much hesitation.

You should raise your tribe’s approval rating in advance.

“Whoops, the young warriors will be delighted.”

Since they were both barbarians, the meal was already over when they had a conversation like that. However, we did not go up to the room, but waited on the first floor, which also serves as a restaurant.

Misha hasn’t come back yet.

‘Has something really gone wrong?’

I was worried as the night got closer, but fortunately, Misha appeared after about an hour. Contrary to his usual preference for bright colors, he was wearing black.

“Huh? Bjorn?”

“It’s Misha!! Misha is back!!”

Einar runs right away and hugs Misha.

“Oh! Don’t do that. I’m not in the mood for that!”

Misha sighed and removed Einar.

Then he came and sat down in front of me.

“…I’m sorry. Originally, I was going to wait in front.”

“It’s okay. I’m not a child. More than that, what happened to you? After hearing from Einar, something seems to have happened.”

“Ah, that……”

Mischa glanced at Einar, blurting her tongue.

“Einar, you go up and sleep.”

“Eh? Why?”

“Write.”

“Okay! Can’t we just go to bed!!”

First of all, after sending Einar up, we had a conversation.

“So, why did the family call you?

” That’s… One of my older brothers died and I had to attend. First of all, I’m still a member of that family.”

“It’s because of the funeral.”

Contrary to my worries, it didn’t seem like they were really taking them by force.

But one thing was questionable

. At this time?”

It’s not right after the labyrinth is closed.

But a funeral at this time?

Doesn’t that mean that something fatal happened in the city?

“Don’t worry about anything strange. He was originally in bad shape. He’s the one who always had to call the priest to treat him.”

“That’s not to say he wasn’t a hierarchical monarch.”

I asked straight-forward.

“Then who are you? Seeing how dark his expression is , is

that the big brother who usually took good care of him?” I’ve never talked about it before.”

“Really?”

Judging by the fact that he didn’t say anything, he must be one of the same guys who bullied and ignored Misha.

Then why does he have such a gloomy face

? Something else happened there.”

“…How did you know that?”

What a surprise. I thought he would get angry if I said he could see clearly

just by looking at his face.

Isn’t it?”

“Why are you so quick-witted?”

“……Tell me something. What happened?”

“That’s…”

Misha sighed and

continued .

***

The family head of Karlstein wants to see me.

I

wonder if he’s got some new clues about the Frost Spirit Ring…

“Anyway, that’s it. you don’t have to go there I already cut it off and rejected it.”

Since it has already been sorted out by Missha, I don’t think you need to worry about this issue any more. If you want to meet, I told you to come to me instead of asking

me

? If he really comes… Let’s think about it after hearing the story at that time. It seems like troublesome things will happen if we go there for nothing.’

So, this is the end of this agenda.

“Ah, the more I think about it, the more I get angry. What the hell does that person think of me? Now, even if I call a funeral or something, I won’t go again.”

After that, I went back to my room to talk about things that had been delayed for 20 days with Misha, who was once again determined to become independent, and went to sleep.

And the next afternoon.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve all been together. . How has everyone been?”

All of Team Apple Narak gathered in one place.

The place is the same three-story bar where we’ve been meeting since the first meeting.

The goal is the final settlement that hasn’t been done yet

. I want to hear more. What is your total income?” “Including the ‘fox flame knot’ sold a few days ago

, that

‘s 159 million stones.

” I thought about it, but in the end, you killed all the people there, didn’t you? It was also funny to claim that it was my responsibility to receive the money I received as a labor fee now. That’s why I took out the cost of the test tube in advance.”

Well, even if it wasn’t for that, it’s the spoils that would have come into our hands after the battle

.

It seems that he has become a bit harmful too,

at least compared to when we first met

. It will be easier if everyone sees this and talks about it.” Looking at the documents

that Raven

made, including the receipt, he began to settle the

bill in earnest .

Classified as loot, Raven 40%.

Potions are classified as common items, not for sale.

Complex settlements were carried out smoothly as they were organized in easy-to-read documents.

And…

“30 million stones… ….”

There was a slight error, but a huge sum of 30 million stones per person was put into their hands. An

income that could be said to be the best ever.

But from now on, it was time to spit it out.

“Now then, only the personal loot settlement remains. Actually, I have some time left these days, so I’ve organized this roughly. As is customary, we set it at around 70% of the average market price, so it will be much cheaper than buying it.”

Raven looked at each of them one by one and said,

“First of all, Mr. Karlstein. Half-roll leather boots with ‘Acceleration’ and ‘Dimension Adjustment’ enchantments 2.1 million. 2,700,000 titanium necklaces engraved with “Cold Strengthening”. That’s a total of 4.8 million. But, since we have to take out Mr. Karlstein’s portion here… You only need to pay 3.84 million stones.”

“Ugh…”

“Mr. .This is the end. Just pay 1.2 million stones.”

“Keuugh.”

“Mr. Urijkfried has a subspace quiver of 2.1 million. A large steel breastplate costs 550,000…… But why did you take the breastplate?” ”

…I will give Cheolwoong a size adjustment magic and wear it.” ”

That’s not a bad idea. Although it would be cumbersome to wear it every time I summoned it. Anyway, you just have to pay 2.12 million stones.”

Everyone except for Raven, who didn’t choose personal spoils, put the money on the table without saying anything.

Then, my long-awaited turn came. “It’s

finally Mr. Yandel.” “First

of

all, 3.1 million stone leggings made by Idium. No. 8667 Wilderness Outlaw is 3.3 million stones.”

“Wait, take out the Wilderness Outlaw. I’m thinking of keeping this as a team common item, not my personal loot.”

” ……Team common item?”

I think it would be better to have it for that time.”

“Hmm.”

Raven looked at me like an IRS employee looking at tax evaders.

But in the end, the conclusion

was ‘YES’. I feel like I’m suffering something. Then, let’s move on.”

Without even feeling relieved that he had solidified the money, Raven moved on to the final content.

That which can be called the flower of this settlement.

“The essence of the Manticore. And No.2988, the mark of the Guardian Corps.”

“·······.”

“First of all, the average exchange price of Manticore Essence is about 50 million stones, but we have already subtracted the test tube value and calculated the value based on the guild’s official price.” ”

So, How much is the official price?”

“32 million stones.”

Nimiral.

Then, as is customary here, I will give a 70% discount, and then I will pay the money anyway and get 20% back as my share, so subtract 1/5… …

“You can pay 17.92 million stones for the Manticore.”

But it’s still expensive.

“……The badge of the Guard Corps?”

“52 million stones at the average exchange rate.”

This is the game price Similarly,

if you add a discount, the final price comes

out to be 29.12 million stones

.

Did you save some money?”

“…….”

I kept my mouth shut.

Then I looked at Einar.

“Huh? Why are you looking at me all of a sudden ?

” ” How much money did Einar borrow from me

…

?

”

However, after

paying everything to pay, it was not enough even after paying off all the money I had collected so far.

Even with the money I lent to Einar, the amount was too large to pay it all.

Of course, there was no problem.

Please lend Kim some more.”

“Uh huh…? Colleagues don’t trade money—”

“Ah, I’ll pay you back.”

“Ah, I know…!”

“Misha, I’d like you to lend me some too

. ” As a result

, I became

a debtor.

When will I pay this off? Should

I hope

to meet a looter in the labyrinth

?

A few days ago, Einar, who had been taken care of by Misha and I because she had no living expenses, started spending money on the go. Hmm, is it

a bit of a joke?

I bought snacks generously, but they were so cheap that no matter how much I ate, I could stand out. It was difficult to spend.

“What should I do with this money?”

“For now, keep it. Are you going to come back and get your equipment updated?”

“Yes.”

“Oh! me too! I’ll get a new set of equipment too!”

“Be patient with me this month. Some of them will be produced, but they won’t be finished until the labyrinth opens anyway.” As the settlement was delayed

, we decided to postpone spending the money in earnest until next month.

Until then, I planned to save it with something I could use.

Of course, I can’t tell you to spend it all there.

“But since you’ve earned a lot, don’t save too much and spend it where you want to do it. Isn’t that the money you earned?”

“Huh? Is it okay though?”

What does he think of me?

Growing up is important, but I don’t intend to make him give up his entire daily life. “ It

looks like he had something he wanted to do

.”

You’re spending your money.”

“No, it’s not necessarily like that…”

“……?”

When I looked at you questioningly, Misha cautiously opened her mouth.

“If we move at this time , Can’t it?”

“……What?”

“Now I’m going to make good money. I thought it would be better to go to a better place……. I can’t even cook here. ”

Hmm, for some reason, they noticed us.

After thinking about it for a while, I agreed.

It was just when this inn was starting to feel small.

Plus, Missha’s rice tastes much better than restaurant food.

It’s also healthy.

“Then, the place to move to I’m going to find out later. I have to prepare to enter the labyrinth right now.”

“Yeah!!”

After that, daily life continued after a long time.

We gathered together, made an exploration plan, and went back to Rottmiller to take a guide class that had been interrupted, and occasionally A peaceful time, such as stopping by the commercial district to check if there was anything to buy, etc.

As always, those days passed by like

a lightning bolt .

And…

Gathered at the tavern

“You have entered the Crystal Cave on the 1st floor.”

It’s time to enter the labyrinth.
