Chapter 261

Episode 261 Clan (5)

The other day I talked to Misha.

I think of you as a valuable colleague.

I drew a line with cowardly words.

I thought it was the right thing, and in fact it was the right thing. At the time, I was still in a state of burning will for ‘return’… and

I didn’t have the qualifications to cross that line.

‘Cause I’m a ‘demon’

He thought that if he whispered affection through Bjorn Yandel’s body, it would eventually lead to deceiving the other person.

But…

“What do you mean? You can’t even count me as a colleague…?”

I answered without hesitation at Misha’s question, with her eyes wide open.

“If you are, don’t you know. What I’m talking about right now.”

This is something I learned for sure while visiting the community.

It was darker than Lee Han-soo’s room.

The place where I am now feels much more like my home.

“I didn’t tell you properly……”

Misha, who had been avoiding my eyes and looking at the wall, slowly turned her head and stared at me.

“How could I know that…?”

Maybe this is what Lee Baek-ho was wary of.

The moment you form a deep relationship with an NPC, your desire to stay here becomes stronger.

But so what?

“I like you, Mischa Karlstein.”

‘Return’ is no doubt better now.

Is it difficult to make a rational decision in a labyrinth when a man and a woman are in a relationship?

This is also true.

It was already too late anyway.

Even at this moment, I value my teammates, including Misha, and I can’t make myself my top priority.

‘Dwalky.’

It was a trace he left me as a legacy.

Well, what will I do if I show you that way and leave?

I can’t really think of it as an NPC.

What would Misha’s answer be if I said

“…….” ?

I felt nervous for the first time in a while, but I tried not to let it affect the results.

A quiet time passed like that.

“Bjorn.”

Soon Misha ended the long silence and opened her mouth.

He got out of the blanket that covered his body and stood in front of me.

“……Let’s go out.”

Misha held my hand.

and led me out of the house

I didn’t ask where you were going.

“…….”

Early in the morning when people gradually woke up and started their activities. Misha and I came out without coats and found an inn room 30 meters away.

And hugged each other tightly.

“Bjorn gently…! It hurts if you hug him too tightly…”

I carefully and carefully moved the barbarian’s rugged body, lest I get hurt.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay…?”

“…If it’s you, anything.”

Misha was clumsy but warmly embraced me.

The time of hugging and sharing warmth with each other continued until evening.

‘……The tail looked like this.’

It was the day I checked with my own two eyes what I had always been curious about.

But is happiness like a fleeting illusion?

“Bjorn.”

“Why don’t you sleep more? Never mind Einar and Erwen. They’ll take care of—” ”

That’s not it, I have something to say.”

“……huh?”

As soon as Misha tilted her head for something, she straightened up on the bed and sat down and looked at me.

And he said in a determined voice.

“As expected… I think it would be better to just be friends with you.”

it will be a car

***

It was like a dream.

[I like you, Missha Karlstein.]

From the moment I heard that, my heart started beating like crazy and the whole world shone brightly.

So it was.

[……Let’s go out.]

Misha led Bjorn out of the house as if running away.

Because I was anxious

It seemed that if I lost sight of it even for a moment, I would wake up from my dream.

[Bjorn Bjorn Bjorn…!]

[Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.]

A dreamlike time continued like that.

The two conveyed their warmth to each other, and sometimes they were tired and rested while talking.

From when we first met until now.

We talked about many moments and vomited each other’s feelings and thoughts.

It was a time to check and share each other.

But…

‘You fell asleep for a while…’

A dream is a dream because you have to wake up someday.

Misha opened her eyes slowly.

I could see the darkened sky outside the window, and the man I wanted so much was lying down and dozing next to me.

For a while, I felt deep happiness.

‘…….’

The world was dyed in the color of reality, and I woke up.

‘As expected of Bjorn…’

It’s an evil spirit.

Misha swallowed the hidden behind-the-scenes words without being able to spit them out.

Just thinking about it made my heart break.

“Huh…”

I was out of breath.

In the meantime, I had doubts with a curious mind, but it was today that I was sure of my identity.

Yes, yesterday I heard what ‘obligation’ was from Charon, and I checked this and that with Einar.

Only barbarians can give birth to barbarians.

This is something I knew from the beginning.

But…

[Isn’t it possible to date? Haha what are you talking about! Of course you can. As far as I know, there are quite a few of my own people!]

After all, barbarians are people.

Their values gradually change as they spend more time in the city, building a team and hanging out with other explorers than their fellow travelers in the Holy Land.

[The tribal chief says that any warrior changes little by little after living in the city for a few years. Ah, the chief of the tribe even called it ‘urbanization’.]

It’s just because I have a pretty heart.

Because the character fits well

After spending a long time, affection has accumulated.

Regardless of the race of the target, there are definitely barbarians in this city who are attracted to the opposite sex.

However, they also had something in common.

[Still, I heard that finding someone is difficult. Most of them don’t understand the ‘duty’.]

They also want to have children.

Einar said that it was also a tribal mission imprinted in the soul.

So Misha also tried to understand.

That’s why I went up to my room without saying anything even though I waited until morning without closing my eyes in a cramped mind.

But…….

[Misha, nothing really happened at the Holy Land last night, and I hope you don’t misunderstand me about it.] I

was told not to misunderstand.

[Because you’re no longer considered just a colleague.]

I’ve heard that too.

At that time, I was soaked in happiness and didn’t think about anything, but when I woke up, I was full of contradictions.

Of course, I believe that nothing happened in the Holy Land.

But…

‘Then why did you lie to Charon?’

Why did Bjorn tell Charon that he was going to do his ‘duty’?

Now that I think about it, the answer is simple.

‘……Because I had to do that.’

The only barbarians who do not fulfill their duty are the first-year warriors who have not yet established themselves.

It is strange in many ways for a warrior who has earned the nickname ‘giant’ to abandon his duties.

So Bjorn used Charon.

What Caron said yesterday is proof of that.

[Bjorn is now fulfilling his duty in the Holy Land with the female warriors, so don’t even think about interfering!]

Charon confided in himself without further inquiring. If Bjorn really wanted to keep it a secret, it wouldn’t be possible.

If that was the case, I would have made an oath.

Considering his usual thoroughness, it was more reasonable to see it as an intentional part.

He wanted Charon to spread the word in the barbarian community.

Bjorn Yandel is doing his ‘duty’.

‘Even so, why we had to do the troublesome thing of changing our appearances……’

Misha immediately lowered her head.

‘Because I… like myself…’

Bjorn wanted.

To his own people, he is seen as a barbarian who does his duty, but he hopes that such stories will not be heard by himself.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for the fact that he had stopped by the bar because he felt bad, he would have thought that Bjorn had just been drinking all night.

If you asked someone else, you would have heard that answer.

“I am now…” My

hands and feet trembled when I found out the truth of everything.

Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.

However, my heart toward him does not cool down at all.

That’s natural .

Rather, it was the man who had saved herself by dwelling in her body and had traveled with her so far.

‘Then now… what should I do?’

After all, it doesn’t matter if it’s an evil spirit.

Even if everyone points at you because it’s not right, you just have to do what you feel like doing as you’ve been taught by him.

However, a realistic problem remains

.

Love makes rational judgment difficult, and

Misha knows it better than anyone.

In fact, Bjorn made the wrong choice. It was far

better to hide his identity than to pretend to be doing his ‘duty’.

There was only one reason why he didn’t.

It was himself.

“Yes, because of me…”

Misha made up his mind within.

If this relationship continues, even if it’s not today, Bjorn will make a bigger mistake.

So… …..

‘All I have to do is endure it…….’

Of course, this is the best.

Just imagining it already makes my heart swell,

but I still have the confidence to endure it.

Until I met a man named Bjorn Yandel, my whole life. Because that’s how I’ve lived.

“Bjorn.”

She called Jung-in by name and woke him up.

And…….

“Why don’t you sleep more? Never mind Einar and Erwen. You’ll be fine on your own—”

“That’s not it, I have something to say

.” He said with an awkward smile.

Even if he said that the road was full of pain.

I think you

can.” I’m sure you can do it.

If

it’s for this man.

?]

What the hell happened to me, Misha left before my brain could comprehend the full outline of the incident,

and…

“…….”

I stood there as hard as a stone

. ” I

thought it was kicked…?” My

head was pounding.

What did I do wrong? Did I

make any mistakes today

?

I just checked out and came out.

Yes, what are you struggling with?

If you have any questions, you can ask.

If there is something wrong, you can fix it

. Come and have a meal.”

As soon as I got home, Misha greeted me as if nothing had happened. “You’re

welcome, Mister.”

Next time you drink, take me with you!”

Erwen and Einar only knew that I had just returned home.

We all had dinner together. ”

Then

I’m tired, so I’m going to rest first!”

After the meal, Misha went up to her room as if running away.

“Erwen Misha is strange today. It’s like walking in an awkward posture.”

“Okay. I don’t know why my sister is doing that. I don’t feel good about anything, but…”

To the two who questioned Mischa’s behavior, he said he was coming to see if he was sick somewhere, and I quickly followed.

“Bjorn…? !”

And finally, the time when we were alone again.

I asked him again why he wanted to stay as a colleague, asking if he had done anything wrong, and the answer that came back was the same as before

. I think that would be better.”

Stubborn refusal without even explaining the reason.

First of all, I decided that now is not the right time. Today, I took a step back and waited for the right time.

But…

“Oh, I’m sorry! I have a place to go now!”

“Einar! Wash! Let’s go do the laundry!”

“…I’m tired today.”

Misha desperately avoided situations where the two of them were together, and no matter how she made space for them, she always gave the same answer.

After a few days like that, I gave up too. “…I see .

Then, let’s just forget what happened that day.”

No matter how much I was, I couldn’t be stubborn about what the other person said.

Because that would have been coercion.

To be honest, it was an unconscious defense mechanism.

‘Wow, I want to smoke.’

I can’t even remember when my mental went this far.

It wasn’t like this when I stepped on a goblin trap and crawled through a cave or when a pillar of fire exploded in the square

.

I couldn’t stay engrossed forever, so I forgot about Misha and focused on my work as much as possible.

Fortunately, there were many other things to worry about.

“Did you hear that rumor?

“Does that mean that the outside is fine?”

“Yes. Wherever I go these days, it’s all about that.”

The information beyond the walls, first revealed by the community, began to spread throughout the city.

Well, it’s still close to being treated as a rumor, but

it was clear that it would grow bigger and bigger as the days went by.

‘How will the royal family react?’

Contrary to expectations, the royal family has yet to respond.

Need to watch more.

Of course while doing my job.

“By the way, do you know today?”

“We’ll meet later at 3:00 PM at the District 7 headquarters, right?”

“okay.”

As soon as we finished lunch, we went out first and headed to the Explorers Guild.

And I prepared some paperwork in advance.

These were the documents needed to create a clan.

Raven and Mr. Bear, who said they would think about it for a bit, finally made a decision.

I will join the clan I created. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Raven?”

As I was writing the paperwork like that, Raven appeared before the appointment time.

“It’s an important matter, but it’s a bit much to entrust it to Mr. Yandel.”

He said that he was unreliable, but in reality he came early to help even a little.

“How far have you been? Give me.”

Soon, Raven took some papers and scribbled down the essentials quickly with a pen.

It’s like three times faster than what I was doing.

It seems to make a lot less mistakes.

“The bylaws are ambiguous. These things need to be clearly defined. The same goes for the clauses related to withdrawal. Exceptions should be made, but who should make those exceptions should be clearly specified.”

“Is that so…?”

“Give me what you’ve already done. For some reason, I feel like I’m going to have to tear everything apart.”

“Here it is.”

Anyway, with Raven’s help, it was almost time to fill out the paperwork, and the rest of the staff arrived.

“It’s my first time making a clan, so it’s a bit strange. Did you do all of this, Raven?”

“Yes. All you have to do is sign here. Read the papers if you want to read them before that.”

“Haha, that’s it. I hope you did well.”

Soon after, Mr. Bear and the rest of the members signed the documents, and handing the documents to the staff ended the application for the creation of the clan.

I’ll probably be officially registered in the guild by tomorrow.

‘Then, once this problem is over…’

The fence called the clan will send us farther than uniting us as a group.

And in that sense.

“Did everyone clear their time?”

We left the guild and moved to the tavern.

It’s still only six people, but the first meeting as a clan rather than a team.

We simply ordered drinks and snacks and had time to share our plans for the future.

Well, should I say it’s time to notify?

“We enter the labyrinth this time.”

Now that I’ve built a decent clan, it’s time to run again.
