STGB Chapter 17

Episode 17 Lapdonia (1)

I slowly open my eyes.

Then I close my eyes again and talk to myself.

‘Get up and do what you have to do.’

As I recalled the many homework I had to do in the city, energy began to circulate in my less awake body.

Let’s do it.

First, I checked the time.

[21 : 18.]

It was noon when I came out of the labyrinth, so I slept for about 4 hours after excluding this and that.

But what about sleeping in bed?

It’s incredibly refreshing compared to the time you sleep.

growl

Although there was bread from the labyrinth, he decided to go out and eat.

It’s a world where money is the same as life, but

that level of luxury is fine.

“…….”

Even after washing like that during the day, for some reason my body smelled, so I quickly washed my body once more and left the dorm.

trudge.

Compared to the daytime, it was a little stuffy walking down the quiet streets at night.

Not psychologically, but physically.

The beige shirt I’m wearing now has a medieval style, hollow chest, and lace-like sleeves and neck.

Instead of buttons, a string is attached to the deep V-shaped neck, and it crosses and tightens like a shoelace

I can see why the barbarians took off their tops. It was because I didn’t have clothes that fit. What a sad race this is.

‘…but where should I go?’

Right now, the first thing I have to do is go to the meeting place and meet Erwen.

But I don’t know where the Black Whale Tavern is.

It is certain that it was in the southern zone based on the dimension plaza where the labyrinth portal opens, but in the game, the size of the city was reduced by tens of thousands of times, so it is not helpful in this area.

So I ended up asking for help from passers-by.

“The Black Whale Tavern? Was there such a place?”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Most people responded that they had never heard of it, but a gray-haired middle-aged man was different.

“It’s the Black Whale Tavern, so I haven’t heard of it in a while. You look young, so how do you know it? It must have disappeared 10 years ago.”

I appreciate the words that I look young, but the contents are not very welcome.

“…is it gone?”

“Yes, it was a store that had been run for several generations, but my son got into gambling and the owner changed. The name changed as well.”

It was the moment when credibility was added to the hypothesis that had been kept since the labyrinth.

After all, is the worldview in the game I played from this era to the past?

If so, ‘evil spirits’ and the enmity between the barbarian and the fairy could also be explained.

When it’s daytime, I should go to the library first.

“Thank you. It was a great help.”

“Hehe, it’s the first time I’ve seen a dignified barbarian like you.”

After that, I broke up with the native man and walked the streets at night. Only the name has changed, but it seems to be still in business as a pub, so I thought I’d give it a go.

I hope Erwen came to visit me like that.

‘Fidenfus.’

Soon after arriving at my destination, I hesitated for a moment.

I can read the pronunciation, but I don’t know the meaning. Is it something like an ancient language in this world?

I think I need to study the language knowledge that came naturally into my head.

“Hahahahahaha!”

“If you’re going to fight, go out and fight, you bastards!”

The inside of the bar I entered was exactly what I had imagined.

Drunk people, explorers, music, sloppy cigarette smoke, and even the occasional heterogeneous people.

I was scanning at the entrance, and I saw the familiar silver back of the head in the corner. Even the slightly protruding ears were pointed.

The car I want to go to with a good heart.

Took.

A drunk bastard hits me on the shoulder and goes through the aisle first.

Well, that shouldn’t be a problem…

“The fairies look bored by themselves. Shall we have a drink with you?”

He goes to Erwen’s place and throws a cliché like that.

Well, actually, thinking about it, it wasn’t a big deal until here.

It’s just…

“Is it because it’s a bar like a gutter? It’s not like a star. Only rats get entangled.”

Erwen…?

When did you become like that?

“…What? A rat, a rat?”

Cock-baby, who was playing tricks with his sarcasm, puts on a dumbfounded expression.

Maybe I won’t be too different.

“Get out of here. If you don’t want a hole in your forehead.”

Judging from the fact that he especially likes the forehead, I don’t think he’s looking at the wrong person…….

What the hell is that?

I had to check it out.

Before that, I don’t want to get rid of him.

“What are you doing again!”

As I approached and grabbed my shoulder, the flirtatious old man turned his head around and said…

“Uh uh uh.”

open your eyes right away

“Didn’t you hear me say go away?”

“…I heard.”

”

But why are you still?

Instead of answering, the man carefully crouched past me and returned to his seat without stumbling.

That was when

I heard the tone I knew well.

But I wasn’t surprised. It’s because I didn’t believe the rumors that Erwen had a double personality from the beginning.

…Really.

That

man also called out ‘fairy girls’ earlier?

“Are you that barbarian?

” It was hidden, but there were two people sitting at the table.

“Yes, that barbarian is probably right. But who are you?”

“His older sister.”

She must have been a real older sister.

Somehow, she had the exact same profile as her.

“Is her older sister your name?”

“…Stupid. Call me Tersia.”

Erwen’s last name was Tersia.

Apparently, my sister doesn’t intend to tell me her name.

“That’s right. Tersia: Then can I sit down now?”

“As you like.”

I sat down without hesitation

and observed Tersia.

First of all, they don’t seem to be twins.

They looked three or four years older, and their facial features were quite different when viewed from the front

. Perhaps because of this, the atmosphere was fierce.

Oh, isn’t this just because of the eyes?

“Barbarian.”

“It’s Yandel’s son, Bjorn

.” Anyway, why did you bring this child to a bar like this?”

“That sister…?”

“You stay still.”

Erwen sensed the atmosphere and tried to intervene, but was blocked by her sister

. It goes back quite interestingly. Putting aside why Erwen brought her sister

, it seems that it’s not just because I’m a barbarian

that this sister

disapproves of me.

I have a hunch . For what purpose did you want to see me?”

“Erwen stayed out last night, and when I inquired about it, he said that he had been waiting for someone at the bar all night. I wondered who it was who cheated on my sister.”

I don’t understand for a second?

“What are you talking about? Last night?”

“Are you kidding?”

Judging from the look on his face, it doesn’t look like he’s joking. “…How many hours has it been since you

left Erwen Labyrinth?

”

It must have happened after sleeping for more than 4 hours. I didn’t only sleep for 4 hours.

Somehow, I was so fucking refreshed.

“I apologize. I didn’t even know that the day had passed because I had been sleeping.

” Tersia looked at

me with a surprised

look when I apologized.

I didn’t even think I would protect it.”

I have nothing to say.

“So why did you call Erwen?”

Well, it’s quite long and I can give many reasons…

I just cut the line.

“I am under no obligation to tell you that. If you’re really curious, listen to Erwen later.”

Literally translated, it meant don’t worry and go away, but luckily Tersia also seemed to understand it well, so the corners of her mouth twisted up

. A beginner who has just entered the labyrinth.”

“What does a beginner have to do with anything? Erwen is an explorer. If you’re not going to be by your side for the rest of your life, you’d better get rid of that attitude.”

“Savage.”

“That sister? Mister……?”

When the snowball fight started, Erwen alone stomped his feet restlessly.

Soon after, Tersia put the pouch on the table.

“It’s 350,000 stones.”

“…Why are you giving this to me? ?”

“It’s the value of the essence that Erwen absorbed.”

Oh, you mean to eat this and fall.

It’s a pattern I’ve seen often in morning dramas, so it feels strange.

“Why don’t you take it? Was there another ulterior motive after all?”

It’s not like that.

If you pay with money, I have no intention of asking Erwen for a ‘promise’ in exchange for the essence.

But I haven’t heard from Erwen yet.

“You have the same opinion . Is it?”

“That’s……”

Erwen blurted out his words.

Is unnie

really that

scary ? He said he wanted you to help him until he got the essence he wanted.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes. If possible, I would like to continue building a team after that, but this is different. No promises needed. From now on, the ratio will be 5:5.”

In short, it means to have a two-person party.

What kind of answer will Erwen answer?

It didn’t take long. ”

I’m sorry .

”

On behalf of Erwen, my sister-in-law, I even explained the reason:

“Erwen will enter the labyrinth with me

from now on .” “Now?”

I had no idea.”

…I see.

He had a driver who would give him a bus ride after finishing the tutorial.

Damn blood.

“If you understand, take this bag.”

Erwen decided to give up

. There is no reason to stick with him even though he is a good colleague,

but you should do the calculations properly.

“350,000 stones are the average price of integers divided in half, right?” ”

Of course. It’s a loot we got together.”

As a deceased person, 700,000 stones is a pretty decent amount.

But the ratio is wrong.

“Then, 280,000 stones are not enough. The promised distribution ratio was 9:1.”

“Okay.”

Tersia willingly pulled out another bag.

I was suspicious and checked to see that it contained exactly 280,000 stones

If I had taken it out, I would have received only 350,000 stones.

These filthy goblins…

I can see why the barbarians hate

fairies. I have something to share with Erwen.”

“Is there anything else I need to share?”

The fight was about to start again,

but Erwen interrupted.

“Erwen?”

“I should also say hello to Mr…….. Huh?”

“…well, you’re no longer a child either.”

Tersia sighed as she said something she didn’t mean to, then looked at me.

“Take a Barbarian oath. You will not sleep with Erwen. Then I will leave immediately.”

huh? did i hear wrong?

“Which sister?!”

Well, it sounds like you heard it right.

Don’t sleep……. Are you saying

everything below that level of skinship is allowed?

“I swear. On the honor of a warrior.”

“Oh, uncle?”

“That’s it.”

Tersia finally rose from her seat.

And…

“Oh, I forgot this. Thank you for saving Barbarian Erwen.”

After leaving one more word, he coolly left the tavern.

***

My daughter and daughter.

Hearing the bell on the door, Erwen slumps over the table.

“Huh! What should I do! I’ve never been like this before… Maybe my sister is angry?”

“I don’t think so.”

“How does the uncle know that?”

Yes, I saw you once before leaving and smiled. You may not have seen it.

…Wait a minute, why did you ask?

Erwen scratched his head several times before coming to his senses.

“Oh right! I’m sorry. Thank you for the suggestion, but it’s been talked about since before that I’m going to move with my sister…….” “I

have nothing to apologize for.”

Even if it were me, I don’t think I’d go through a lot of trouble hanging out with a low-level barbarian out of loyalty, even though the high-level fairy told me to do it.

“I’ll take this first.”

Erwen took out a small pouch and placed it on the table.

“Exactly 63,000 stones.”

It must have been the cost of the crossbow and the magic stone the leader had.

I have no idea what the actual amount was, but I had no doubts.

Because it doesn’t make any sense

Anyway, how much should I pay if I divide this by 9:1?

“Ah, I took care of the removal, so you don’t have to give it to me.”

yes it was

It’s really stupid in this place.

“I left the backpacks the two of them had at my dorm for now. There are a lot of things… but I think you’d better take a look at these tomorrow.”

“I will.”

Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for a few days, he knows very well what I’m curious about.

He didn’t say a word, but the agenda related to the distribution of loot was settled in an instant.

However, when he entered the next agenda, Erwen also opened his mouth with a more cautious attitude.

“Then… how can I repay you?”

“pay?”

“I told you. I will definitely repay the favor.”

Oh, I’ve said that before.

“It’s grace……”

Erwen swallowed his saliva as he blurted out his words.

…Couldn’t it be because of this that her sister gave the damn thing to swear at the end?

Do you think I want something strange in return from him?

“Don’t make fun of me, please tell me.”

My eyesight has grown a lot.

I know right away that you’re teasing me.

“I can’t think of anything right now. I’m going to order something for now. Is there anything you want to eat?”

“I’m not hungry…”

“Then I’ll just order mine.”

Looking at the menu board hanging on the wall, he said as if he remembered Erwen.

“Oh then, drink! Please give me a drink!”

“alcohol?”

“Yes. I didn’t even take a sip yesterday on purpose. I’m going to drink the first return drink with the man! Hee hee.”

Erwen smiles brightly and looks at her with eyes that seem to beg for praise.

Return me…….

Come to think of it, there was such a culture.

Well, it’s a bit far from the feeling of drinking a can of beer after work.

For heterogeneous people who grow only in the Holy Land until they reach adulthood, ‘first return wine’ has a greater meaning than expected.

Well, what should I answer in this case?

“…that’s very fortunate.”

“That’s when you say thank you!”

“thanks?”

“Thank you! We are comrades who shared the joys and sorrows of the labyrinth, and the first returner must of course be with us.”

What the hell does he want?

While thinking about it, Erwen scratched his cheek. “Of course, this isn’t

the first return

week for Mr.

“yes?!”

why are you surprised

“I would have said I was 20 too?”

“…wasn’t that a joke?”

Somehow, no matter what I said, he kept calling me uncle.

“This is the first time I’ve entered the labyrinth.”

“That’s right…….”

Within a moment, Erwen slowly looked at me and went to the waiter and started ordering on his own.

It took about 20 minutes for the food to come out.

“Uncle, you’ve worked hard.”

I’m just thinking of continuing to be an uncle.

yes do whatever you want I haven’t seen you for a long time anyway.

“…You worked hard too.”

We had drinks and food and talked about this and that. In the labyrinth, most of the conversation was only necessary, so it was the first time I had a private conversation like this.

But how long can it not be like this.

“Mister, are you wearing a shirt today?”

yes you wear a skirt

We talked a lot about that, so it’s over now.

“Erwen said earlier that he would repay the favor, right?”

“Yes? Yes, did you?”

“Then, try using the supernatural ability you wrote then.”

Erwen tilts his head.

I think I’m wondering if this can be said to be a reward…….

It’s an important issue for me.

What is the difference between the integers in the game and the real integers?

Be sure to check in advance.
