STGB Chapter 266

Episode 266 Bug (5)

When I said long time no see, he laughed.

“I hope you remember me.”

It was strange that I recognized myself.

Well, it was such a short meeting.

I didn’t have the mentality to have a face-to-face conversation, let alone speak loudly.

But…

“Memories like that are not easily forgotten.”

How can I forget

Those days when I was crawling through a dark cave on three legs, bleeding on one damn leg.

[Parts. Can you give me a potion?]

[It’s in case you can’t use holy power?]

[You have a lot anyway. I’ll go out and pay for it separately.]

[Sheesh.]

This guy, who was the swordsman of the team that saved me, threw the potion with a dissatisfied look at the leader’s words.

It was a rare experience.

How many times in your life can you feel humiliated and grateful at the same time?

“I’m sure it’s because I’m a barbarian, so I like this part. It’s a warrior’s iron rule not to forget grace, right?”

The guy who understood what I wanted to say put a satisfied smile on his lips.

I didn’t bother to correct it either.

It’s true that I felt grateful.

“Still, it’s a bit strange. I didn’t expect you to still remember me.”

“Because it’s rare to find someone who can crawl that distance with that body.”

As he said that, he glanced me up and down.

“Anyway, I thought you were really that Bjorn Yandel.”

It seemed that he had already inferred his true identity through my impression without having to say his full name.

Should I consider this an advantage or a disadvantage?

As I was laughing, Raven approached me from behind.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Patsran.”

“Who… Ah Miss Raven?”

I was just as surprised as the flustered prosecutor.

What did you two know?

“Yeah… that’s right. I’ve heard of him being on that team before.”

“It’s not a team anymore, it’s a clan. Anyway, come on!

“I don’t even know the name of the relationship yet.”

When I spit it out in the conversation, the prosecutor smiled and revealed his name.

“It’s a mute Partzran.”

“Your pronunciation is strange.”

“Because it’s one of the few families that still insist on the central naming style. Call it Partzran. Everyone calls it that way.”

“Family? Were you a noble?”

“Aristocrats, at least thousands of years ago.”

I understood immediately what it meant.

Because sometimes there are cases like this.

Before the end of the world, they were aristocrats or royalty of a country. After entering this city, they became mere commoners.

Although there is no title, I heard that they maintain their legitimacy by deciding among themselves the head of the family.

“So what were you doing in front of our boat?”

As soon as the statement was over, Partzran also slowly got to the point.

I said it honestly because I didn’t really do anything.

“I was just looking around the entire island once.”

“Right.”

My reputation is also fame, but Patsran, who is acquainted with Raven, had no doubts about our words and agreed.

And…

“Nervio Pertia.”

The magic circle imprinted on the ship was activated to reverse summon the anchored ship and put it into subspace.

It was a small act, but it really bothered me.

“But where is the team you were with at the time?”

“I’m exploring the island.”

“Looks like you’re looking for something?”

“Well, I don’t think we’re talking about that.”

What did you do?

It was an answer that cut the line, but I still guessed the general situation.

‘Once they put it on the shore, but now they sent only one person to put it in…’

It must have been because they were looking for something.

Most of the summon imprints have a cooldown.

If they judged that there was nothing they were looking for, they would have tried to board the boat right away.

‘Unsummoning would mean that I found what I was looking for.’

If so, what were you looking for over there?

There was also one thing that came to mind.

Even just me, I was aiming for that and ran all the way to the 6th floor this time.

‘If that’s the case, the plan will go awry……’

I unknowingly licked my lips, but managed my expression so that the bitterness didn’t show through.

But was this the same for the other side?

“Yandel, how long will you guys stay on this island?”

Patsran asked me in a quiet, nonchalant voice.

Seeing the baby float.

“Maybe it will continue.”

“Continued? Nothing special here.”

“Because this is our first time.”

“Hmm, but it would be okay to go to the next island… Well, that’s okay. You’ll take care of that.”

Partzran, who was talking with a lot of wishes, suddenly changed his words, perhaps thinking that this was a bit over the line.

Yes, you decide where we will go.

“Anyway, if you stay on this island, maybe we can meet a few more times. Then see you later, Yandel.”

Soon, Patsran ended the conversation.

It was obvious that I was lying.

You must hurry up and tell your colleagues about our existence and discuss it.

“for a moment.”

As I chanted briefly, Partzran turned around.

He wondered why he suddenly called him.

I couldn’t just send it either.

Actually, this is something I’ve been concerned about since a while ago…

“It’s not just Yandel, it’s a baronet.”

“……what?”

Looking at him tilting his head like someone who had heard the wrong thing, I spoke again.

“He said he was Baron Bjorn, son of Yandel.”

Where is this, sneakily trying to eat a friend.

You still know I was that bare barbarian back then.

***

“Then I’ll go. Hehe! Hey, Baron Yandel……”

Raven sighed as Patzran quickly disappeared from our sight.

“…Yandel-san, did you really have to do that?”

It was obvious what you were talking about.

must have been too harsh

But I proudly straightened my shoulders.

“Isn’t that what you wanted to be called the highest honorific?”

I didn’t make them call me ‘Sim’, the baron Yandel, and they treated me as if I had to use the Hao body language.

But did you have to?

“Raven, I rather don’t understand you. Where in the world is a nobleman so generous?”

“Uh, I don’t have anything to say if I say that, but… but I’ve never had anything like this before. What the hell happened to the two of you in the past…”

Raven seemed to think it was personal revenge, but in fact Not so.

Because in the first place, I was much more grateful for saving me.

But that’s it and this is this?

“Raven, there is a big difference between saying something because I told you to be comfortable and saying something when you didn’t say anything first.”

Even after I became a noble, the tone of my colleagues and acquaintances did not change.

That’s because I told you not to.

But what about partsran?

It’s not something I, a barbarian, would say, but I naturally stopped talking as soon as I saw it.

“Ehh, so you did it for the dignity of a nobleman? You’re a nobleman now?”

What is he saying again?

“I’m not a noble, I’m a clan leader.”

“……yes?”

“Now, wherever I go, I represent you. But should I have just smiled and passed on that I was considerate of an explorer I didn’t even know well? Just because you know me?”

“That’s…”

Above all, the other team seemed to have overlapping goals with ours, so there will be more to come across in the future.

That’s why I turned on the noblesse barbarian mode.

Because I judged that being looked down on from the start is not desirable in the long run.

“…Sorry for being sarcastic. I was short-sighted this time.”

Soon after, Raven lowered his head and apologized.

It was one of his strengths.

If you are sure you made a mistake, just admit it and sincerely apologize.

“That’s enough. I forgot about it now.”

Like a barbarian, I asked what I was curious about after passing on this matter.

“But I didn’t know, Raven, do you hate nobles?”

“No? Not at all?”

um yeah

After going through that, they were sharply sarcastic.

Oh, were you close friends with him earlier?

Is that why you’re angry when you see me craving?

Thinking it was a plausible guess, I asked again, but Raven shook his head again this time.

“Oh, that’s definitely not the case. In the first place, Mr. Patsran-san also met a few times at the banquet…” ”

Hmm, but then why were you so angry?”

“I’m not angry…….”

“But it’s true that it was different from usual, isn’t it?”

Raven couldn’t answer my question easily.

Rather than being awkward to say, it was closer to the feeling that he himself did not know the reason.

“It was just a little bit. Everyone else is like that, but I hope Yandel isn’t like that… No, what am I saying? Oh, I’m not sure either.”

Raven looks confused.

I chuckled.

I thought I knew what I wanted to say.

Even I would be confused if Einar suddenly changed and showed an authoritative figure. A brain as pure as a cancer stone is the charm of a barbarian.

“Ah, stop both of them! What the hell is that strange atmosphere!”

Misha intervened in the conversation, probably not liking the awkward atmosphere, and the topic naturally changed.

“So what are you going to do now? There’s still a lot left to look around the island.”

“Ah, I’m thinking of ending the tour of the island.”

Anyway, at this point, the measurement of the size of the island was roughly finished, and

it was also confirmed that there were other people besides us.

Competitors who may have visited this island for the same purpose.

“Then what are you going to do now?”

I gave a short answer to Raven’s question.

“Go into the island.”

You can’t do explorer work by just stepping down because there is a competitor.

***

Farune Island.

Located closest to the starting island, this island is a popular hunting ground.

Monsters are all grade 8 or lower, but

the profit advantage is significant in that insect-type monsters come out in large quantities.

Yes, if you look at the profit.

“Erwen fire! Fire! Fire!

“Yes four!”

“Tweet tweet tweet!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I think it’s in my mouth!!”

“Einar-san! A magic stone just came out of your mouth!

Did you chew and kill

?!

”

Magic stones poured out every time, but no one showed a bright expression.

I was no different.

‘It’s more gross than I thought.’

It was hard even though I thought it was because I had a fairly strong stomach.

Thick bodily fluids covered my whole body.

The disgusting smell of bugs engulfed in flames being grilled.

I didn’t want to know that this smell existed in the world after

all . There’s no one in there… Kyaaak!”

“Don’t talk! I can hear it… ugh!”

My colleagues didn’t say to go back even though they updated the worst moments of their lives in real time.

It was a simple reason.

“I think you’re right, Bjorn.”

“Yes. There must be something on the island. Otherwise, there’s no way people with good boats could have come to this island.”

Of course, I’m not the kind of mind that tries to find out

what it is by

following them . There are no ill-wishers in our clan,

so we decided to look for it ourselves.

Assuming that something was hidden on this island. ‘Thanks to that

, it won’t look strange if we find it later…’

is a team called Parts.

This island’s Hidden Peace is a kind of event that targets the entire island.

‘For now, if there are no more members than us, there will be a total of 11 people.’

We haven’t reached the highest difficulty level of 15 yet, but it’s a difficult enough difficulty with 11. ‘That’s

probably why he tried to kick us out. Without us, the event can be held much more comfortably.’

It makes me a little curious.

How did he know about this Hidden Peace?

Is there a player among the team members?

Or is he himself a player?

‘That’s it, I’ll get a feel for it when I meet him later—’

It was while moving while thinking about this and that.

“Uncle,”

Erwen stopped the group.

“Someone is fighting over there.”

The direction they pointed was the center of the forest.

He had a hearing several times better than ours, so he couldn’t have heard it wrong

. Looks like the team is hunting. Hmm, if we run into each other here, it seems like there will be a misunderstanding for no reason asking if we were following you—” ”

No. I’m not hunting.”

“Yeah? I’m not hunting. What do you mean—”

Erwen

said, eyes twinkling
