Chapter 9
Episode 9 Night Friends (2)
“…Why are you giving me this?”
“Do I need a reason to help?”
I can’t help but feel like there are thorns in my mouth trying to say something that I don’t even have in my heart.
This type will work better for you.
I want to be friends with this fairy for the night.
For some reason, it sounds like crap when you say it like that, but it wouldn’t be a bad story for him either.
From injuries to lack of sleep to pretty looks.
Just looking at cancer, the situation is several times worse than mine.
Knowing that, he must have just done that shit.
To be honest, I was surprised by the obsession with life that I just showed.
“I said it before, but first treat it. We’ll talk about it later.”
“But…”
“I will stand guard.”
As I turn my back with a dismissive attitude, I soon hear a mumbling sound.
It’s like chewing herbs to apply to wounds.
“…It’s all done.”
already? Surprisingly, you have good hand skills.
Looking back, I see bandages tightly tied between the torn clothes. For some reason, even in the way you look at me, it seems that your vigilance has decreased a little.
First of all, let’s close the distance slowly.
“I am Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”
“…Erwen.”
“I don’t know what you misunderstood. But I don’t think it will happen to you.”
“Yes? Ah yes…” She
pretends not to, but the fear in her eyes is still there.
I thought that if I did this much, that misunderstanding would be resolved, but what the hell was wrong?
In the end, I asked straight forward.
“Why are you so afraid of me?”
“…Barbarians are hostile to fairies, right?”
“An adversarial relationship?”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that… I don’t want to fight you.”
At my question, he seemed to have suddenly come to his senses, and started begging again like before.
I was asking because I was really curious…
Are fairies and barbarians hostile? It’s a golden age. Obviously, we got along pretty well in the game.
How did this happen?
I strained my eyes and just looked at it, but the information I wanted came out quickly.
“…isn’t that a war that ended ten years ago? I don’t have any sediment on it! Really.”
It was 10 years ago…….
I don’t know what happened, but just hearing the words, it looks more like enmity rather than hostility.
Um, so you grew up hearing bad stories from a young age, so you’re scared to that extent?
The situation got quite a bit of a headache.
What do we do? Are you looking for another kid right now?
To do that, the herbs and bandages I already gave you are a bit of a waste……
Yes, let’s try it.
“I am the same as not having sediment.”
“Is that so!”
“Yes. That’s why I’m saying this, Erwen. Would you like to be friends with me for the night?”
“…a night friend?”
“I’m tired right now. It’s probably the same for you. Why don’t we cooperate today, with or without sediment?”
“Umm…”
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
To be honest, I wondered if he was right.
Instead of accepting, Erwen, who was frowning and thinking fervently, put forward one condition.
“I thought that barbarians valued honor as a warrior. Can you swear on that? You won’t harm me first?”
“I swear.”
“Mu, of course, I promise in the name of the clan. I will never harm you first.”
To explain it in Korean culture, it is the sound of thumbs on each other’s tongue and a baby on the forehead.
Of course, I can take pictures all day long.
But before that, there is one issue that needs to be addressed.
“It’s Yandel’s son, Bjorn. Not the old man.”
I don’t know, but my Bjorn is only 20 years old.
***
The contract has been established.
It’s not that we took a picture of Jijang, but we took a picture of something similar because of the culture here.
Thanks to that, I learned the real name of the fairy lady in the process.
Erwen Fornacci di Tercia.
They were the same age as 20 years old.
After that, I’m glad I’m not the real Bjorn. I’m sure the real Bjorn would think so too. Even if I do, he…….
I won’t say anything.
“Then how do we decide the order?”
“I’ll go to sleep first. That way, you’ll feel safe too.”
“It’s not really like that, but if you do that, I can’t help it…”
In a word, it was a complaint against non-eavesdropping.
“I understand that it means good.”
“yes.”
I’m glad you got it If I had decided to play rock-paper-scissors, it would have been dark before my eyes.
I’ve been keeping my eyes closed ever since. please stop sleeping now Is it so hard to sleep comfortably?
“Oh! How do you know the time?”
Tsk tsk Is this why beginners are in trouble?
I took the watch out of my backpack and handed it to Erwen.
“It’s an expensive item, so don’t break it.” Not only did he say
“Yes……”
but seeing that he was worshiping a shrine made me feel quite relieved.
“I’ll handle it carefully. Good night.”
Just like the old man did, I cut my backpack, covered myself with a blanket, and curled up.
And…….
rumbling!
I fell asleep like fainting.
“mister!”
…Because it’s Bjorn.
“Wake up, mister. Time is up.”
I forcibly opened my closed eyes and stood up. I can’t believe it.
It’s been two hours already?
“Here, get your watch.”
Looking at the time, two hours had really passed.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I even snored properly. In case you didn’t know, I said I’d sleep for 10 minutes……
Wow, is this the synergy of a backpack and a blanket?
It’s scary.
I’m sure if you had lent me this, I wouldn’t have been able to avoid an ambush.
I would have been sleeping comfortably without knowing the world.
How do you look at it?
…In that sense, let’s lend it to him as well.
“Cover and sleep. If you want to cut this too, cut it.”
“Yes? But…”
He declined to say anything, but the corners of his mouth went up.
I decided to pretend I didn’t know.
“Well, thank you, I’ll use it well……”
Even though he didn’t recommend it once more, Erwen crawled into the blanket on his own and curled up like a cat. And before long, he started to let out regular breathing sounds.
Are you sleeping well in front of a man outside?
You must be tired. He must have had a hard day just as much as I had.
“Huh…….”
Leaning her back against the wall, she opened the clock out of habit.
[22:50]
I feel like it’s been 5 days, but there’s still more than an hour left before the 2nd day ends.
I want to go back to the city soon. To be honest, it’s funny to say that I’m going back, but……. If I go back, I’ll just sleep for a few days.
‘…Seeing that I’m thinking like this, it seems that my body has really become livable.’
I put my watch on and started thinking in earnest. It was a peaceful time for the first time in a while, but I kept thinking about this and that.
What would the real me be like?
Could it have been dealt with? It will definitely still be. Someone should have come. The company won’t take it seriously for a few days.
“Kick.”
It’s not that I’ve never thought about this issue until now.
Because I only have sadders.
If you think that there is nothing good about going back, your will will be broken.
It is better not to think in many ways.
No matter how self-deception it may be, I am quite good at self-hypnosis.
“…….”
deliberately twists the flow of thought.
Okay, let’s just recap what happened over the past two days. After the coming-of-age ceremony, enter the labyrinth, fight the goblin, and fight the old man……
Can I praise you for doing well so far?
It was really hard to die. There is no one to praise, so can’t I do it too?
Click-
I decided to think about it after I went back to the city, but when I opened the clock, the time was already running out.
“Wake up Erwen.”
“Just 5 more minutes……”
Just 5 minutes, just 5 minutes, get up quickly.
“Ugh…….”
As the barbarian shook his shoulder with a violent hand, Erwen rubbed his eyes and stood up.
This looks dangerous.
I can understand why the uncle didn’t trust me back then.
“Don’t think about sleeping just because nothing has happened so far.”
“Yes……”
I was a little anxious, but I lay down again in bed.
The warmth was still there even after I lay down again, probably because I had lent a blanket and a backpack.
something ironic
How long has it been since you felt the warmth of someone other than me? very unfamiliar
Maybe more than everything I’ve been through in two days.
rumbling!
This time, I was quite energetic, so I started snoring. To be honest, it was bigger to make sure he wasn’t sleeping and doing well than to look at it.
…doesn’t sound sleepy.
I opened my eyes and took a quick look at Erwen, then I let go of my worries and closed my eyes again.
and how long has it been
widely.
Feeling the presence, I hurriedly raised my upper body.
“Kyat!”
For some reason, I was holding Erwen’s white wrist.
Circumstances seem to be reaching out to me…
“What are you doing?”
“You’re having that evil nightmare, you’re sweating all the time……”
Looking at the handkerchief in my hand, it doesn’t seem like an excuse.
Well, if it was a weapon in the first place, I would have hit it with a shield without asking why.
“I’m sorry.”
After grasping the situation, I relaxed my hands.
Then, Erwen stroked the part he was holding with a painful expression.
The scars were already red.
I didn’t have to say sorry. I have to say it, because it will be empty anyway.
“How much time has passed?”
“…about 10 minutes until shift.”
“Okay. Then let’s shift now.”
“But…”
“Now I’m tired even more.”
At my words, Erwen lay down with an apologetic expression. And I wanted to turn around a little bit.
“mister.”
“Are there any problems?”
“No. I have a question.”
“Ask.”
Erwen hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“…Who the hell is this man?”
what? Is it a pun?
“Because you kept saying sorry in your dreams… Oh, I’m sorry. Was I presumptuous? You don’t have to answer me. I’m going to sleep.”
Before she could answer anything, Erwen said to herself and then put a blanket over her head.
Apparently, this lady is curious about me when she realizes that I’m not that scary.
“Turn it off.
” I stretched and thought about it.
I don’t really remember any of it, but if you listen to the words, it seems like I had a real nightmare…….
Suddenly, I’m a little curious. Who
the hell was the man I asked for forgiveness? It
‘s two.
The unknown man who was decapitated at the coming-of-age ceremony and the man who taught me how to be a man…
But now that I think about it, either way is strange. I’ve never done anything worthy of apologizing to either of them
.
It must have been a
meaningless
dog dream
.
I was worried.
After-sales application. In other
words, whether or not to make a colleague proposal.
Of course, there is a downside to sharing loot when becoming a colleague.
No matter how many goblins appear from the third day onwards, three or four goblins appear, but Erwen’s joining reduces my income. It’s clear that
she’s going to do it. It’s a matter that has nothing to do with her strength. Well, since the species value is a fairy, it’s enough for one person… Should I say it’s
already overpowered?
Even without Erwen, three or four goblins I can easily defeat this level by myself.
It’s not just my pride, I really judged that after going through several actual battles with this body.
And I’m in the position of collecting as many magic stones as possible to prepare for living expenses in the city and future taxes.
“Huh……”
A safe bed or more magic stones. It was the time when
I was thinking over and over again to make the most rational
choice
.
It happened, so I wasn’t particularly nervous. It’s normal for most of them to just look at it once and just pass it by.
But… This two-member explorer, made up of
Tak-tong
and Wishil, looked at this side once and then walked away. stopped.
And they whispered among themselves.
“Isn’t that the fairy?”
“Looks like it’s right. The shape of the bow matches.”
Among the two who reached a conclusion while whispering, Tungtungi asked me a question as the representative.
“What’s your relationship with that barbarian fairy?”
“As you can see, we are friends for the night.”
“You see all the strange cases that a barbarian and a fairy are friends at night. So, how much is left?”
“I have no business to answer.”
In response to my answer, Tungtungyi didn’t ask further.
She just smiles and takes Bisil next to her and leaves.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
“Huh? Uh uh…….”
Soon the presence of the duo disappeared from the surroundings.
But I couldn’t be relieved.
What the hell are these bastards? It’s as ominous as when the tribal chief screamed right in front of him.
I quietly moved to the side and tapped the shoulder of Erwen who was sleeping.
“Uh…”
Hey, are you falling asleep in this situation?
wake up soon
For some reason, it seems like we’ve been screwed.
