Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Even two people.

“Oh! Mister, welcome! Your friends are waiting for you.”

“friend……?”

As I entered the living room with a tilt of my head, two men who had been enjoying refreshments on the sofa jumped up to greet me.

“This is the real Bjorn Yandel!!! It’s the real Bjorn Yandel…!!”

Hikurod Murad.

In short, a dwarf.

And…

“…Long time no see. I heard that he was alive a long time ago, but I can’t really believe it.”

Brown Rottmiller.

These were the familiar faces I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Well, he’s a dwarf. I’ve seen him sneaking into a smithy before.

To be honest, it was a bit shocking.

[Eh, tsk… I explained it well because he looked like he had a lot of money, but it’s because he’s unlucky.] I

didn’t expect to hear that, just because I went out while watching.

“Nice to meet you. I was going to visit you first, but I’m sorry.”

“Haha! I’m really sorry for this friend too? After hearing the news about you, you’ve been very busy lately.”

“How do you know that?”

“That’s right, because celebrities like you talk about it no matter what they do! Even if you’re just working at the blacksmith’s shop, you’ll hear it naturally.”

“…Is that so?”

I was feeling a bit shaky.

Of course, the dwarf knew about my personal visits with the bereaved families, the Seungjak Ceremony, and even the most recent meeting with the members of the expedition at Commelby.

Did it appear in the newspaper that the heroes had an after party?

“That’s why we finally came. I wanted to come a long time ago, but Rottmiller stopped me. I’ll see you when the situation is sorted out.”

“That’s right…”

I glanced at Rotmiller in gratitude and sat down on the sofa. Then, Erwen, who had been watching Haehu from the side, came closer to her.

“What can I bring you, Uncle?”

“I’ll ask for water. Oh cold.”

“yes!”

Later, when Erwen headed to the kitchen, the dwarf sneaked up to him and lowered his voice.

“Oh right! Do you know how surprised I was earlier? I came home, and the blood spirit didn’t even greet me, so I smiled and drove to the car like this!”

“…Ah, is this the first time you two met Erwen?”

At my question, Rotmiller nodded and the dwarf shook his head.

“Actually, I’ve only seen her once. She came to me the other day around the time the team was disbanded and worriedly asked what happened to you.”

Oh, I think I heard that.

“Hu At that time, I never thought that the young fairy would become such a famous explorer, but really, you can never know what a person’s future will be like, right?”

“That’s right…”

I regarded Erwen as a promising cotyledon, but even I didn’t expect him to grow up this fast. I didn’t even expect that I would have a nickname like ‘Blood Spirit’.

“By the way, Yandel.”

Then Rotmiller spoke to me.

“Have you met Miss Karlstein…?”

Yeah, I wondered why this story didn’t come out.

“I haven’t met you yet.”

“Is that so…”

“So, have you ever met Misha?”

“Only once after you were known dead. I was worried and went to visit you, but you didn’t even meet me except once. After that, you disappeared somewhere.”

“How about you, Hikuro?”

“I’m similar to that friend Rottmiller. Tsk, since news of you has spread so much in the city, I wonder if you didn’t come to visit me… I guess something bad happened…?”

I tried to speak in the best possible way, but it was clear what the dwarf was concerned about.

But fortunately, Misha is doing well.

No, I don’t know if he’s doing well, but he’s alive and well.

“Misha is also looking out for me. I will definitely find her and bring her back, so don’t worry too much.”

“Well, if you say that, you will… But I mean… Could it be because of the Blood Spirit?”

“…why did Erwen suddenly appear?”

“Yeah, isn’t there such a rumor that you and I are like that… How is it true?”

Heh, living in the gossip is still the same.

“It’s groundless.”

As soon as I said it right away, the dwarf let out a breath as if relieved.

“Really? If so, I’m so glad……”

It was a very subtle statement from the listener’s point of view.

“…Are you happy?”

“In the end, it must depend on your heart. After all, isn’t the time you and Carlstein both spent with you long? I thought it fit well—.”

It was when the dwarf’s words reached that point.

Clink-!

The dwarf’s teacup on the table shattered and shattered.

And…….

Took.

Erwen walked out from the kitchen.

“Oops, the teacup is broken.”

With a smiling face along with the cold water I asked for.

***

“Mister, here’s the water.”

As soon as Erwen put the cup down in front of me.

Woo-woo-!

Broken fragments float in the air against gravity.

And the same goes for the tea water that soaked the carpet.

“Now you’re clean.”

Erwen, who had cleaned up in an instant using the power of the spirit, said he would stay in the room, and turned his back and left.

“…….”

It seems that only his teacup has disappeared from the table, but the dwarf did not say anything as he saw Erwen leaving.

Although the mouth is a little light, it is not that there is no notice.

“So you should have been more careful. We’re just guests.”

“…Hahaha, that’s right. I made a big mistake…”

The dwarf let out a sigh of relief when he thought about it again and smiled awkwardly.

Ttsk That’s right, he’s really remote and wide.

The atmosphere was quite strange, so as the landlord, I brought up a new topic first.

“Rather than that, how are the two of you doing? Hikuro doesn’t seem to be working as a blacksmith these days.”

“Huh? How do you know that?”

“Actually, I went to your blacksmith shop before. I was small at the time, so you didn’t recognize me.”

“Huh! That’s what… I didn’t recognize you? You just shrunk a little?”

The dwarf said something impossible, but that doesn’t change the truth.

So I just said what happened honestly.

“I was a bit surprised.”

“Ah, business is going well these days—”

“It’s not like that, because I didn’t know that if other guests couldn’t come because I was there, they would kick me out.”

“…….”

“Well, I’m glad the business is going well.”

At those words, the dwarf blushed like someone who had a dark history, then smiled dejectedly.

“Huh, I’m really embarrassed to see you like that……” “I

didn’t mean to blame. It’s not a bad thing to try to make money. I just wanted to be a bit different. ”

“I’m sure it will be. I left the team to pursue my abandoned dream again, but now that I’ve become a merchant, I might look pathetic.”

Uh, I didn’t mean to go that far…

But I was curious about it, so I decided to just listen.

“But isn’t there, Bjorn. I just have another dream. A dream bigger than holding a hammer and striking iron.”

“Are you dreaming of making a lot of money?”

At my words, the dwarf laughed.

“It’s similar. It costs a lot of money to sponsor an orphanage.”

“what?”

no wait.

“…You can’t?”

“I still can’t do much because I don’t have enough energy, but I recently increased the number of orphanages I sponsor, and now there are two.”

After that, I will become a sleepy person.

As I sighed inwardly, I thought for some reason.

“Bjorn I’m going to make a lot of money. No matter how ugly I look. My chances are slim now, but kids aren’t like that.”

“…….”

“For those children to achieve the dream I couldn’t achieve.”

“…….”

“That’s my new dream.”

The dwarf looks bigger today.

“…….”

“…….”

The dwarf, who revealed his new dream, put on an awkward expression as if he was embarrassed after he said it.

It was Rotmiller who opened his mouth then.

“I’m just doing my job.”

In a way, the recent situation was more unexpected than that of a dwarf.

Is this sincere old man living unemployed?

“What’s going on with the training center? Wasn’t it like passing on exploration skills to explorers?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the temperament of a merchant.”

That’s right, it’s ruined…….

Just when I wanted to say something of consolation, the dwarf jumped to his feet.

“Hey Rottmiller! It’s your fault that the school is what it is—”

“stop.”

“……?”

“Stop it, Murad. I’m not here to talk about that.”

“Ha, but…! Yandel is a baron! If you just say—!”

“I didn’t tell you to stop.”

Rotmiller’s low voice echoed through the hall.

His voice was so cold and resolute that even a dwarf could swallow his saliva.

In fact, I wasn’t too different on the inside.

‘…What is that voice?’

So far, I’ve only seen Rotmiller angry once.

It was the last expedition of Tim Banpunyi.

Feeling the limits of an explorer, Rotmiller was very angry. to yourself, not to anyone else.

A person like that can’t say anything to others.

Is this why good people are scary when they get angry?

‘Seeing the dwarf do that, he must have a story…’

Then, I’ll have to ask him about it later when I’m with the dwarf.

“…….”

“…….”

The awkward air came back as if it had never happened before.

This kind of time is no different from wasting, so I rather went to the main point.

“Hikurod.”

“Huh? Ah uh… let me tell you! Something?”

“I have a business proposition for you.”

“A business proposal… you mean?”

“okay.”

If it hadn’t been for today, it was such an important agenda that I would have visited it first.

“You’re so nervous for no reason……. Talk about it for now.”

“I will make the clan bigger in the future.”

“so?”

“I want you to take charge of our clan at your smithy.”

“Oh! That’s the proposal that only large workshops accept!”

As expected, the dwarf was visibly delighted with the offer.

OK so now what’s the next step?

“Okay, let’s start with the contract.”

“Huh? A contract? No, we don’t have to do that between us…”

“Because public things have to be certain.”

“Um… that’s true too… but isn’t that a bit too hasty? If you’re going to write a contract, I’ll have to review it a bit…”

“Are you going to be sad about that? What is there to ponder between us? Come on, just take a picture of your palm. It’s just a formality.”

“Uhm… that’s right…”

Having agreed to it, I hurriedly signed the contract and got the dwarf’s handprint with the magic pad firmly buried in the palm of my hand. .

So to put it simply…….

“It’s over.”

I’ve secured my regular fence.

What expression will he make the next time he carries the equipment of the Knights of the Rose?

***

The day after the dwarf and Rotmiller go I recently got a keepsake from Mr. Bear and Einar—’No,

it’s strange to say it’s a keepsake…’ Anyway

,

after a long time, I fully installed the equipment I was wearing before

. A battle shield is equipped.”

“The overall item level increases by +1750.”

A shield made of a 5th-level metal material,

and……

“The character is equipped with a breastplate made of Latinium.”

“The overall item level is reduced. It increases by +270.」

After the first purchase, it is repaired when it is destroyed and if it cannot be repaired, it is re-purchased in the same size. 「

The character wears the ideium gaiter.」

「The overall item level increases by +400.」

Gaiters that were useful after getting them in the Doppelganger Forest.

「The character wears No. 8667 Outlaw of the Wilderness.」

「Overall item level increases by +315.」

Belt

「The character wears No. 8820 Iron Wall.」

「 The overall item level increases by +310.”

Boots that double physical resistance and exorcism for 3 seconds when used.

And…

‘Why did Mr. Bear take these?

‘Automatic restoration’, ‘shape change’, ‘acid immunity’, and later, special magic panties with additional enchantments such as ‘cleanliness’ magic. Even the

parts called ‘egg guard’ in technical terms.

‘In fact, this is [Unity] I don’t really need it anymore, but…’

Due to the nature of the item, it was sold a bit, so I always used it even after it was no longer needed.

‘ Is it okay if I just get a necklace from Misha…’ It was

kind of funny when I thought about it.

It ‘s not

like I’m collecting Dragon Balls.

I think about it.

Yes, the equipment was in a really clean state.

I’m just grateful that I kept it without selling it in the first place, but the parts that were damaged during the fight with Stormgush were also completely repaired, so it’s neat. In the case of

equipment, the repair cost would have been quite expensive.

‘Misha said she only brought one necklace…’ After that

, actually, it’s the most precious thing I own

.

I left the house as it was.

Although he took off his helmet, it had been a long time since he had been out on the city streets in full gear.

Well, there’s not much to fight in the city.

He usually wore only a breastplate.

Conversely, it would mean that there is something to fight about today.

trudge trudge.

After a long walk from the morning, they arrived at the outskirts of District 7.

The gate to the other area was firmly closed, and the sentry standing on the wall looked down at me as if asking for a passphrase.

Hu can’t you just look at him?

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

When I shouted coolly like a barbarian, fortunately, the door to the holy ground opened without any identification.

And…….

trud trudge.

After finishing the coming-of-age ceremony, I passed the forest path I walked with my fellow barbarians.

“Yandel’s son, Bjorn! Yandel’s son, Bjorn!”

“The strongest warrior who inherited the name of a giant!”

The barbarians I encountered on the way saw me, stopped what they were doing, and started following me. Like a barbarian with developed intuition, I instinctively felt it.

There are going to be some pretty fun events in the future.

“Waaaaaaaa!!”

“Yandel’s son Bjorn has returned!!”

Soon after, the forest road ended and the barbarian’s residential area……

that is, by the time I arrived at the place full of haphazardly built huts, hundreds of warriors were already following me.

also.

“…the news was real.”

All the barbarians staying in the residential area heard about me and ran out barefoot to wait for me.

trudge trudge.

As he stepped forward without saying a word, the barbarians cleared his way and struck his chest with their fists.

coo-! coo-! coo-! coo-!

When people see it, they will know what kind of festival it is.

coo-! coo-!

Following the road out of the way, the tribal chief’s hut appeared.

By the way, Einar was standing in front.

He said he was receiving training as a tribal chief, but it seems like he’s really only living here these days.

“…Is the chieftain inside?”

After greeting Einar and asking, Einar stepped aside and opened the way to the hut.

Are you going to go in there yourself?

if so what

trudge trudge.

When he arrived at the front of the hut, the tent was quickly removed and a huge barbarian appeared inside.

was a tribal chief.

The day I first woke up in this place, I brutally cut the head of ‘Kidua’s son Oreum’, who was suspected of being an evil spirit.

“You’re late, Bjorn, son of Yandel.”

the tribal chief.

The chief looked down at me with a large ax slung over his shoulder.

“I thought I had decided to forget about this one because I ate so much noble stuff.”

Really, this guy is really big.

Seeing that I have to look up slightly even though I have returned to my original body.

“It can’t be that I forgot.”

When he answered, the tribal chief smiled cheerfully, as if he had erased even the slightest sadness.

And…

“Then, welcome back, tribal warrior!”

After welcoming me with open arms.

“Bjorn, son of Yandel!”

As soon as the sign of pleasure was over, he asked me.

However, the question was clearly different from the usual one between meeting after a long time.

Where have you been for 2 years and 6 months?

Is the announcement made by the royal family really true?

Asking if you are in a politically difficult situation.

Not such a human question—.

“so-.”

original theory.

“What happened to you today?”

To that question I answered.

Of course, this isn’t something I’ll say right away after seeing him for a long time, but…

“I came because I had something to say.”

Because I am a full-fledged barbarian.

“What?”

To the tribal chief who asked back, he spoke like a barbarian.

“Let’s keep cool.”

“…….”

“Bet the tribal chief.”

Again, it didn’t take long for the tribal chief’s answer to come back.

“good night.”

Soon the tribal chief accepted my request.

and at the same time.

“Be Behel—Radaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Behel—Raaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”

All the barbarians started howling.
