Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 10 Night Friends (3)

Strictly speaking, the word us is not correct.

It was Erwen, not me, who showed interest in the duo of Toongtung and Bisil.

Tuk-tuk I shook Erwen with my foot again.

“Ummm…….”

Ehmm what. wake up soon I know you’re not sleeping. As soon as I heard their voices earlier, I sneakily checked them and saw them covering their faces with blankets.

“Kyaa!”

It was a waste of time to argue, so I just grabbed him by the shoulders and forced him to stand up.

“Why are you pretending to be asleep?”

“That’s…”

Erwen blurted out his words and avoided his gaze.

From my point of view, where I have to get information and make judgments as quickly as possible, this attitude is quite cramped.

swish

As I hold my chin and turn my eyes to look at it, Erwen reluctantly opens his mouth.

“You’ll be gone when I get up…”

Was that really the case?

I made an oath. So, if there is a dispute with an explorer during vigil, you must fight together. But unfortunately, this happened at the last turn as promised.

Well, I don’t care about honor… but

he doesn’t know that.

So I tried to hold on somehow.

The moment you open your eyes, the promise of friends for the night is over.

“after.”

I took a deep breath at once.

If an adult man like Uncle Hans had done this, I would have been angry… But

since he is only 20 years old, I feel sorry for him first.

Of course that is that and this is this.

“What happened to those two guys?”

“None.”

“Then why are you hiding?”

“…The pattern on her clothes was the same. The human man who tried to harm me. He must belong to the same group.”

Because it’s a group…… The shit is getting worse?

He even begins to think about whether it would be better to just say goodbye to this fairy lady here and go their separate ways.

“Let’s talk while moving.”

“Are you helping me?”

“Listen to the story.”

First of all, I got out of the place where I was taking Erwen. And he moved almost as if he was running, grasping the remaining situation.

“Tell me everything that happened.”

Erwen also read the atmosphere, and he briefly recited important information without saying anything.

“The person I met as a night friend on the first night attacked me while I was sleeping. I later found out that he was an executive of a group whose main stage was the first floor.”

By the way, the group’s name is the ‘Crystal Union’.

“I managed to escape somehow, but ever since then, whenever people from the same company saw me, they attacked me. I was also injured at that time.”

I paused.

“Wait, how did they know about that?”

“It’s a message stone.”

So what is it? There was nothing like that in the games I played.

“More details.”

“It’s a magic tool that allows you to have a conversation with the message stones that have been resonated in advance. I heard that the radius is about 300m.”

“Right.”

It’s a kind of walkie-talkie. If you set the frequency in advance, you can communicate up to a radius of 300 m.

Gradually, the situation came to an understanding.

If there were magic tools like this and a lot of manpower, it would be easy to transfer information even in such a closed environment.

But the problem is…….

“What’s the point of chasing you like that?”

Erwen did nothing wrong.

But why do they go so far in chasing the victim?

“Is it because of the silence?”

“…I don’t think it’s because of that.”

“Are there more?”

“That’s……”

Erwen, who had been answering the question coolly, hesitated to say it again. With this attitude, there is no way I can help.

This was the car I was thinking of.

“I just swung the knife when I first ran away

.

It’s kind of cool.

The wind keeps blowing through my crotch.

“Isn’t that there…?”

It’s real.

“Hmmmmm Anyway, after hearing the stories of the people chasing me, they were cut off at all, so I couldn’t attach them with potions… I think that’s why…” It’s

worth chasing after them with lights on in their eyes.

“I’m so sorry……”

It’s not something to apologize for.

Wasn’t it him who provided the cause? self-employed The problem is that there are too many people in the world who don’t even know that simple reason.

“Looks like you have a tracker, Mr.

“what?”

“Don’t look back.”

I tried to focus on my hearing, but I couldn’t hear anything.

“The distance… I think it’s about 150m behind.”

It’s a strange distance to feel the presence, but it doesn’t seem like he’s lying. He has no reason to do that.

So, is this the fairy’s natural instinct?

Suddenly he looks different.

“I need to speed up, is that okay?”

“Yes. I can still endure it.”

Even though the white bandage was stained red, as if the wound had opened, Erwen did not let out a sound of pain.

It’s good toughness.

Well, it’s complicated in my head.

“What is the distance from the pursuer?”

“…Still about 150m.”

Even if you increase the speed, the distance does not increase.

The situation is not good.

By now the pursuer should be alerting his comrades to our location with a message stone or something.

You have to get rid of it.

If their target had been me, I would have made that judgment.

But I’m still running.

Because once you kill it, you can no longer step out.

So let’s check before dipping our feet in.

“That uncle…?”

How much risk do I have to take and what else can I get in return?

More detailed information is needed.

“Erwen.”

“yes yes?”

“What are you good at?”

“I’m confident about cleaning the laundry. I’m not good at cooking, but…”

What is he talking about?

“When you said you were in battle.”

“…a bow! Oh, and elemental magic!”

It’s just a standard bow fairy.

“What about properties?”

“…Fire.”

Well, it’s the most valuable attribute.

Thanks to you, I’m slowly drawing a picture.

“Have you ever killed a person?”

“No…but I can.”

That’s what you need to know.

“Right.”

I finally asked her.

“Will Erwen be my colleague? As for the period until we get out of the labyrinth, I’m 9 and you’re 1 for the distribution of loot.”

“I’ll do it!”

This gave me a justification as well.

***

“—I swear by the clan’s name.”

“I also swear on the honor of a warrior.”

We snapped something as a token of trust, just like before, and our relationship evolved from one-night stand to casual ally.

Running wildly, of course.

“What’s the distance?”

“About 100m!”

Even though we were at our maximum speed, the distance is closing.

I made up my mind.

“Falls into outlying areas.”

“yes!”

Turn around and enter a dark passageway.

There are fewer and fewer shining crystals on the walls and ceiling, and before long, pitch black darkness falls in front of us.

mind is complicated

I never thought I’d come back here on my own.

“Summon Erwen Spirit.”

A watermelon-sized flame floating on the palm of your hand illuminates the surroundings. Watching the floor, I quickly made my way through the darkness.

And…

“Cancel the summons.”

hid in the dark

“What’s the sign?”

“Soon you will be able to hear it too.”

“Right.”

I kept my composure as much as possible and focused on my hearing.

In the best case, the pursuer misses us and passes us by.

Then there would be no need to kill me, and I would be able to step out later.

Tadadadadadat-.

Before long, I heard the sound of the pursuer’s footsteps in my ears.

Contrary to expectations, however, his steps stopped without passing by.

Right in front of the crossroads we broke.

Took.

Goddammit…….

It looks like he has some means to track us down. Smell, sound, or something magical.

trudge trudge.

He turned around and walked slowly, stopping about 30 meters from us.

The boundary line where darkness like the abyss begins.

“…….”

He put his head out and peered into it, and

we watched him with bated breath.

“Here you are.”

In the quiet silence, the guy who sniffed a few times muttered to himself.

And he takes something out of his pocket.

It was the first thing I saw in my life, but I intuitively noticed the identity of the object.

message stone.

I sent a signal by reciting this briefly at the same time as seeing it.

At Erwen, who had been aiming an arrow with a string drawn all this time.

“Shoot.”

hook-.

Before I could finish my words, the arrow shot into the man’s forehead.

dump.

Even though the desperate man fell to the floor, I didn’t leave right away.

“…….”

I felt a trembling that I couldn’t hide from Erwen, who was sitting right next to me.

“Well done. It would have been dangerous if I had hesitated.”

It’s not just a compliment, it’s sincere.

Didn’t I also hesitate when I hit the shield on Mr. Erwen just now didn’t even have that kind of time.

Even if I didn’t have to say it again, he would have known it himself.

that you should never hesitate

“Yes……”

“You take a break.”

Consolation was over at this point, and I came out in the dark and searched for the body.

Perhaps the backpack was left with another colleague for speedy movement, but the pursuer was quite unpretentious.

‘To feel regretful in a place like this, I guess I’ve become a person here too.’

First of all, after taking off the entire pursuer’s equipment from head to toe, he organized the items he had acquired one by one.

Belt Two daggers made of leather, a bottle of potion and a message stone that were stored in a fairly heavy manastone pocket pocket and hung on the belt.

“Good. Come here.”

After roughly sorting, I called Erwen.

Then, the bandage was removed and the potion was used to treat the wound.

A wound that begins to heal with a hissing sound. It was okay to

make a

noise, but Erwen insisted on gritting his teeth and enduring it.

He also has a toxic corner. No, did I just go out of my mind?

I wish it was the former. Counseling is not confident.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yes. It flashes.”

“Then change into this.”

After a few minutes of treatment, I held out the leather top and bottom I had just acquired.

Judgment that this is much more practical than fluttering cloth clothes.

“I’ll wear it right away.”

Did I think that those who followed all my judgments were more likely to live? It must have been embarrassing, but Erwen immediately took his clothes and went into the darkness to change.

“There is little left. Come and see.”

I cut off the protruding hem with my arms and legs.

“Take this too. It will get better.”

It looks a bit baggy overall, but it looks quite comfortable with the waistband on.

But maybe

because the clothes have changed, the atmosphere has completely changed

.

“It’s a very strange feeling.” ”

You’ll get used to it.”

“I’m sure…?”

“I’ll be.”

I stuffed everything else into my backpack and dragged the naked corpse into the dark. I hid it

and took the message stone in my hand.

“How do I use this?”

“Wait a minute. I’ll try.”

Erwen looked at the message stone and clicked something.

[…Serdin, who was tracking the fairy girl and the barbarian, lost contact. All those who receive contact must gather in the Goblin District.]

First, here So far it’s as I expected.
