Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 442
Episode 442 Giant Step (4)
It was the middle of the night when I opened my eyes again, so I went back to sleep thinking there was nothing to do if I woke up now.
So I thought I slept for a total of two days……
“……Three days?”
At first I thought Amelia was joking.
After three days of sleep, the fatigue was still in my body. To be honest, I was forced to wake up saying that if you want to sleep more, you can sleep more…
‘But really, three days have passed.’
“Still, it’s good that you woke up now. If you don’t wake up today, I was going to force you to wake you up. I’m tired of stopping the fairy from fussing.”
“…so where is Erwen?”
“Go out for a while.”
“outing?”
“They said they were going to the Holy Land. It seems that they don’t tie knots as easily as I thought.”
The subject was omitted, but there was no need to ask what was being said.
It’s definitely a story about leaving the pureblood group.
As much as the support I received from the fairies while I was gone, I would have to give up a lot to become free like before.
For example, ‘God’s Palace’.
Either that, or the funds for the purchase of this mansion, which was forcibly removed after holding Shinmokgung hostage.
‘…Well, the real problem is ‘pure blood’ itself.’
A fairy’s ‘pure blood’ is a kind of racial secret.
Only one person can be inherited at the time, and the heir’s ‘Natural Affinity’ stat will be inflated like crazy. It was thanks to him that Erwen was able to sign a contract with the Spirit King.
‘I need to solve this problem quickly. It’s ridiculous to leave Erwen alone to handle it.’
The time I was sleeping again becomes a waste.
It hadn’t even been a month since he had barely survived and returned from the ice rock, but he had no time to waste resting.
But…
rumbling-!
“…there’s something I bought in the kitchen, go see it.”
Okay, let’s eat first.
***
After filling my hungry stomach for three days, the first thing I did was tidy up.
Lee Baek-ho, GM Hyun-byeol, Ragna, Auril Gavis, and many other things I got from the round table…
After asking for Amelia’s understanding, I locked myself in my room and organized my thoughts for a while.
‘Ha… my head really explodes.’
It seems that I went back to the days of students ahead of the opening ceremony.
Homework has been pushed back and forth, but I don’t know what to do first. So, just like when playing a game, I prioritized and organized them.
what should i do in the future
‘…… It’s a little better because it’s organized like a quest.’
After the rankings were forcibly assigned as if they were doing an ideal world cup, I felt a bit refreshed.
So the quest I have to do right now is…
“How did the Amelia Clan found?”
Finalize clan creation.
“Since the paperwork review was over yesterday, all I have to do is visit him in person and finally put his name on the roster.”
In fact, I thought about resurrecting the old clan, but it was disbanded after I was known to have died, so the administrative procedures were complicated, so I decided to create a new one.
That part was a little disappointing.
In the case of a clan, the one with the oldest date of creation has an advantage.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay to press this part later as a nobleman?’
‘Negotiation’ with the guild is one of the fields I am confident in.
I was about to change my clothes and go out to deal with today’s schedule, but Amelia caught up with me in a coat.
“You want to go with me?”
“That would be better. I handled most of the administrative procedures.”
Well, if the two of you go, there will be less of what you miss.
Jeop, originally these parts were done by Raven.
‘It will take a while longer to bring a child from the military.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean I gave up.
The most important thing is Raven’s doctor.
“for a moment.”
“huh?”
“Use this. There will be a commotion if you just leave.”
“Ah…”
Afterwards, I put the iron helmet Amelia had brought over my head and came out.
“It’s been a while. The two of us going out during the day like this”
Hmm, is that so?
Come to think of it, I think the last time I went to the art gallery after purchasing the ‘Vol-Herchan’ essence at the auction house was probably the last time.
After returning to the present era, it was not a situation to wander around freely.
“Oh, there you go.”
Since the house itself was located in the downtown area, it did not take long to walk to the guild branch.
Like other explorers, we took a numbered ticket and waited, and when our turn came, we presented our IDs.
And…
“B-B-B-B… Hmmm!”
As soon as I saw my ID, the staff who started the game moved me to the private reception room on the second floor, and the branch manager, who jumped out in a gasp, completed the remaining administrative procedures himself.
Something felt strange.
Director Bjorn Yandel.
Vice-captain vacancy.
Member vacancy
Member Emily Raines.
Member Einar Pnellin.
Member Auyen Lockrove.
A roster that meets only the minimum number of people required for its creation.
For reference, in the case of Erwen, the issue of leaving the ‘Pure Blood Team’ has not been resolved yet, so she could not join the clan.
“Please visit us again next time!”
We left the guild with the hospitality of the branch manager and headed to a nearby restaurant.
After starving for three days, he was already hungry.
“Amelia.”
“On the outside, you would have called me Emily.”
Oh yes.
I’m tired because I’m hungry.
“So what did you want to say?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special, I’m just curious. Why did you ask me to leave the number 1 member seat empty?”
I’ve been emptying it for a while, but I haven’t heard an explanation yet.
Why?
“Sometimes impatience ruins everything.”
“…huh?”
“After leaving the group later, tell them that you intentionally left the seat empty. Then that fairy will calm down a bit.”
“Uh…”
What did I just hear?
“…You said it was left for Erwen?”
When I asked, unable to hide my astonishment, Amelia averted her gaze with somewhat shameful eyes.
And…
“……because he seemed upset.”
He murmured softly and changed the topic.
“Rather than that, the clan name.”
“huh?”
“Is there a reason why it was named like that? After looking into it, it’s a famous ancient word, meaning a pack of beasts.”
As expected, as soon as you heard it, you thought of the ancient language first.
Once this is done, is it a success?
After thinking for a while, I told Amelia the truth.
If no one can hear it, bring it closer.
“Actually, it’s not an ancient language, it’s Korean.”
Amelia, who shook her shoulders as if whispered in her ear, asked quietly.
“Korean…? Could it be that it’s the language of your home country?”
“okay.”
Nodding my head, I told him what he meant.
“The spirit of struggling together with one heart and one mind for a better future.”
“……Hoo?”
“That’s what ‘Anabada’ means.”
By the way, it was planned to become our clan’s creed for the time being.
I really can’t afford it.
***
After the meal, Amelia left, saying she had some business to do.
It was obvious where to go.
Today, she must be thinking of going to the place where she works and spying on her side profile.
I didn’t even dare to try to speak.
‘…Well, I don’t have anything to say if he’s satisfied with that.’
Anyway, today’s quest is over, but I moved to another place, not home.
It’s because there was something I had to do… No, I wanted to do something.
with my daughter!
Upon opening the door of the store, a moderately half-full restaurant is revealed.
The second floor is a shop that doubles as an inn and serves food during the day and alcohol at night.
“Welcome! Did you come alone?”
When I opened the door and entered, a fresh-looking waitress in her early 20s led me to the table with a broad smile.
“What kind of meal will you prepare for me?”
“I’ll ask for something with a lot of meat. After walking for a while, I’m already hungry.”
“Yeah wait a minute—”
“Wait a minute, isn’t the owner here today?”
“Ah, Mrs. Priest told me to be careful. You don’t go to work these days.”
……Did you get sick somewhere?
I was a little worried, but I decided to correct the misunderstanding first.
“I asked the man, not the hostess.”
“Ah! Mr. Urijkfried will be leaving for work soon. In about half an hour? I’m not sure because it’s jagged every time!”
Okay then you can wait and see.
“Thank you for your answer.”
In return for the time taken, I gave him a tip and sat down at the table to pass the time. And by the time I finished my order and ordered a new dish.
with my daughter!
The door opened and the person they had been waiting for arrived.
“Are you here? Mr. Urikfried!”
“Yeah, didn’t you?”
“An acquaintance has come.”
“…friend?”
Mr. Bear, who was having a conversation with the waitress, tilted his head and glanced around the store, and as soon as our eyes met, he hardened like a stone.
Did you just figure out the situation soon?
“Mayla, don’t accept guests from now on. Leave the existing guests as soon as the meal is over.”
“…yes?”
“Oh, and you, too, leave work with the chef after all the customers have been dismissed.”
“Eh?”
“If possible, don’t let people come to my table.”
Mr. Bear, who quickly gave instructions to the waiter, quickly approached me.
“…You really are. Bjorn Yandel.”
“It’s been a while. Abman.”
After quietly exchanging glances, Mr. Bear sat down in front of me without hesitation.
And…
“…….”
“…….”
Silence continued for a while.
It was Mr. Bear who spoke first.
“I heard the news…”
What is this awkward thing?
“I still don’t quite understand what’s what, but it seems like something big happened to you.”
“Oh yes… there was…”
“Have the others… already met?”
“Except Misha.”
“Yeah… is that so…”
Afterwards, Mr. Bear seemed to be thinking about something, and then continued.
“Actually, after hearing that you were alive, I went to your house several times. There were so many people and there was no sign of you coming out, so I just returned.”
“Shouldn’t you have knocked? If it were you, I would have let you in anytime.”
“Well, I guess I’ve changed my mind.”
“……?”
Is it simply because of the mood that gives off a strange nuance in words?
Probably not.
So…
“Abman, I had no intention of tricking you.”
First of all, let’s clear this up.
“Everything I couldn’t show up in front of you for two and a half years—”
“Enough.”
“……?”
“It looks like Bjorn misunderstood something. I’m not mad at you for that. Of course, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel betrayed at all, but… that has nothing to do with this story.”
Mr. Bear, who drew a straight line, took my glass and gulped down, then continued.
“I just listened and said. I just don’t want to.”
“…….”
“Whatever the reason you disappeared. Maybe you’re involved in something dangerous. It’s also a story that has nothing to do with me anyway.”
I feel like something is tightening my chest.
“They say it has nothing to do with it…”
“I’m sorry, but I thought it would be better to nail this part. If you came here because you wanted to put me back in the team, that’s impossible.”
Is that because you didn’t even confess to being dumped?
More curious than sad.
“Looking at what you’re saying, it’s probably not because of the clan you belong to.” ”
That’s not true. .”
“If it’s okay, can I hear the reason?”
At my request, Mr. Bear took a deep breath through his nose as if holding back a sigh and opened his mouth
. Are you going to see you as if you’re very worried?”
“I did…”
“You know, Bjorn? Two years and six months was a really long time. To the extent that seeing the end of the labyrinth is enough to break the mind of an explorer whose dream was to see it.” Mr.
Bear continued to say
so lonely. that there is no No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’ll ever be
able to see my child’s wedding if I go out with you
.
”
Why didn’t I classify the visit as a quest
?
I had no intention of attempting to recruit
him
. ?
_
_
_
_ If we don’t go into the labyrinth together, can we have a drink together?”
“…That’s not true.”
Soon after, Mr. Bear obediently took a drink and we spent time talking nonsense.
Gradually, the customers left and the staff all left work. From.
Until the sun goes down and night comes.
Talking about the past, laughing and chatting, and sometimes even having serious arguments.
“…It’s late
.
” I’ll be waiting.”
“Then… I can’t help it.”
“I’m sorry. If my wife wasn’t full-term, I would have been able to stay a little longer…”
……Full-term?
My head went blank at the moment, but I understood the situation roughly
.
I felt weird all over again.
Come to think of it, I couldn’t be by your side even when I gave birth to my first child
. wear this too I felt like I had to sort things out and go.”
“…Ah, thank you.” After that
, we exchanged a few more words, put on the raincoat given to us by Mr. Bear
, and went out into the street
.
It’s not sad.’
Is it because I drank too much in a long time?
For no reason, the two years and six months that passed without me feel brutal.
It feels like I’ve lost something precious.
But now, what can I do?
I have no choice but to do it.
It’s raining hard .
Moving forward across the street,
sprinting, sprinting.
Even though he was fully focused on his gait, his intoxicated body stumbled back and forth.
But is it because he was shaking like that?
[Bjorn Yandel.]
The last few words of conversation kept flickering in my head. [Go forward stride forward. Don’t have any regrets about a loser like me.] There
is
no
such thing as a loser in this world.
.I
don’t know, but I walked out,
splat splat—
repeating countless times what I had to do tomorrow.
