"Misha and I are just comrades.

"Uh... It's true? Oh, of course...

Of course, what?

I took a sip of my drink, ignoring Dvalka's gaze, which seemed to say that he was expecting such an answer. Then...

*Smack!*

… He hit his head on the table.

I wondered how this guy, who can't stand alcohol, manages to drink such drinks.

Hell.

In general, this was the complete end of drinking in broad daylight in less than a few hours. It was still noon when I walked out of the bar, leaving the disconnected Dvalki with his best friend Hikuroda.

I guess it's time for me to go to the library.

I gave up on my plans to go home and rest, and changed my destination. I still didn't know much about this world.

It is almost the same, but at the same time subtly different.

Just look at the Troll we met this time. Even when we gouged out his eyes and blinded him, he sensed Dvalka's mana and lunged at him. There were no such settings in the game. But, who knows, perhaps something similar was written in the books of this world. It wasn't enough to settle for in-game knowledge, you had to keep learning.

Auril Gevis. In any case, I should continue to learn more about this name.

For some reason, it seemed that I had read many more books here than when I was in civilized society.

"You're back."

When I arrived at the library, Ragna greeted me with a sleepy look. Perhaps it was because it had been a few months since we had finally introduced ourselves to each other, but we were much more friendly than before, so much so that she was the first to strike up a conversation with me.

"I understand that you rested 2 days ago, but why didn't you come yesterday?"

"I had other things to do.

"I know you're busy with your work as a researcher, but you shouldn't neglect your studies.

This girl also had a very strange side - to tell the barbarian not to neglect his studies.

"Good. Then I'll leave it to you.

 [Bierdo Parsitiev].

After a short greeting, I received an advanced spell [Book Detection] as usual and entered the building. This time, I was mostly looking at monster-related material. Initially, it was a section that I wasn't looking for because I had knowledge from the game, but the situation has changed.

"I'm hungry, so I have to go." Good bye.

— Эм... — начала Рагна.

"Hm?"

"I also don't... no matter. Do not pay attention.

It was late when I left the library.

But what is it?

"Hello, Mr. Yandel.

When I returned to my abode, thinking that I had a decent day, someone was waiting in front of my door. A woman dressed in black from head to toe, as if she was on her way to a funeral. Her appearance exuded elegance. So, her name was...

"You... Urban?

— ... Julianne. Julianne Urbans.

— That's right.

— ... I heard it from Mr. Pet, but I didn't expect you to forget me," she muttered and twisted her brown hair around her index finger. Perhaps it was just a habit, but it could also be that her nervousness manifested itself subconsciously.

You can't tell it from her face, but could it be that she is nervous?

With this thought in my head, I asked:

"So who is Peta?"

When I asked, her eyes flickered, as if she had heard something incredible.

— ... You also don't know the name of the branch manager?

— Oh.

So that was the name of that mustachioed man. But how could I know? He had never introduced himself before. I can't say I wasn't a little embarrassed, but I jumped straight to the point without showing it.

"So, what are you doing here?" And even one.

"Since you don't want to meet me, I had no choice but to come to you.

"I'm sure I declined the offer.

"Maybe you just think I'm desperate?"

Desperate, right? If the daughter of the head of the district says this, then something is happening, and it is probably difficult to discuss this something with others. Otherwise, there would be no reason for her to voluntarily visit the one who held her hostages. But I was a barbarian who did not care about all this.

"Go home." I refuse to get involved in anything troublesome.

I suppressed my curiosity and entered the room.

Just as I was about to close the door, young Lady Urbahns quickly placed her umbrella in the doorway.

But, of course, it didn't work.

*Bach!*

The door closed tightly, destroying the umbrella with a little effort.

"Huh?"

Not expecting such a turn of events, Urbahns knocked urgently.

"S-wait!" Let's talk a little. It doesn't take long-...

"Stop and go home."

"No, really! Aren't you curious why I'm going this far?

"I'm not curious.

"Huh?!"

Did my stubbornness work? When her umbrella broke, the girl angrily kicked the door and then disappeared, tapping her heels.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

It looks like it's over...

*Top, Top*

At that moment, the sound of receding heels began to approach the door again. Maybe she still hasn't given up?

*Tuk-tuk-tuk*

As soon as I heard the knocking, I made a snoring sound.

*Hraaaap!*

With nothing else to answer, I decided it would force her to give up.

"Ha... how am I in general...

I heard her wailing through the door, but apparently she decided to change her strategy.

"I know you're awake, so just listen," Urbahns whispered from the other side. — Brown Rothmiller. Beware of him. I don't know the details, but today he met with my father and... Oh! Don't open the door so suddenly!

It was worth listening to.

***

A man and a woman in the same room in the middle of the night. Only an awkward atmosphere circulated in the room. It was natural. I even opened the door for her, but there was nothing to listen to.

"Is that all?"

"Yes...

Rothmiller was summoned to the county leader's office and walked out five minutes later. That was the end of the information that Miss Urbahns had given me. If I had known that this would happen, I would not have opened the door.

"So what's your goal?"

Now that it had happened, I decided to resolve my curiosity. Now I was even more curious. Why was the daughter so opposed to her father that she told me about it?

The girl Urbahns said with a solemn expression:

"My goal is to overthrow my father.

— ... And?

"There's nothing to be done. At this rate, I will really live like a doll. In any case, this requires your cooperation...

"Go away."

"Excuse me?" No, you don't seem to understand something, but if you help me, you'll benefit greatly...

What other benefit? There was no benefit to oppose the head of the district.

"Kya!"

In a short time, I realized how tenacious this woman was and sent her outside. Then I closed the door and locked it.

"If... If you change your mind, please come to me. Oh, and be careful. My father could have done something about that Rothmiller.

Had my steadfastness finally worked?

With these words, Miss Urbahns left without causing any further commotion.

So I washed my face and went to bed.

Rothmiller... I'll have to look after him for the time being.

***

After that, the days passed as usual. Every morning I ate meat that Misha fried, and at lunchtime I spent time in the library. When Ervena came once a week, as she had promised, the three of us dined together. In addition, there was a regular meeting at which we planned the next expedition.

"Last time, the Troll came out on the 4th floor, but from what I've heard, it looks like we're the only ones who were so unlucky. It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with this floor, so I think it's okay to go the normal route. And what do you guys think?

I watched Rothmiller throughout the meeting, but I couldn't find anything unusual about him. If I had to highlight something, it was quieter than usual. This complicated my thoughts. If there was anything to talk about after meeting with the district head, I hoped he would tell me about it at our meeting.

Maybe I should just ask him directly?

There was another option to take the bull by the horns, but I put it aside for later. There was still time before the maze opened, so it was better to proceed more carefully.

Be that as it may, time passed. After 3 days, I received 5 million stones from Mr. Bear.

"With this, I paid off all my debts. Give me back this item.

— ... Can't you just give it to me?

I asked if he could just give me the bracelet, but Mr. Bear shook his head resolutely.

God, it's almost a disposable item.

This item is most effective when used by a character with high regeneration. During the damage immunity period, he will simply bleed. I'll have to get him to sell him to me on the cheap when we're a team.

After this thought, I opened my eyes and looked at my watch.

[23:59]

There were 10 seconds left until midnight on the 15th. I closed my eyes again.

[Your soul has resonated and is attracted to a certain world].

It's time to take part in a special class.

***

I was in Lee Han Su's bedroom, not in Bjorn Yandel's room. Although it wasn't my first time here, I lay on my bed and thought about how great it was here.

As expected, the softness is different.

I clearly felt the gap between civilizations. It wasn't even a particularly expensive mattress. Well, even in this world, I was sure that it would be different in a high-end inn too.

*Pressing*

When I turned on the computer from the bed with the toe of my foot, the monitor immediately lit up without booting. I got up and sat down in front of him.

Since I could only go here once a month and with a time limit, I had to use it effectively.

*Click, click*

First, I entered the stock exchange. Most of the messages were the same as last time, but new messages appeared in real time. Given the structure of this place, it was natural.

I'll wait a little longer and check again...

I opened the chat list. When I first came here, I didn't have enough time to take my time to take my time, but this time was different.

[Beastmen, come in]

[Magic Community]

[Night Elf]

Looking closer, I saw that unlike the [Newcomers' Room], where there were about 10 people, many gathered in class and ethnic communities. In such a place, it would be easier to get useful information, for example, about development methods.

But... Why are there no barbarians here?

As I continued to scroll down the page, I froze. With the exception of the Dragon Men, who were blocked from being selected as a character, everyone had a dedicated chat room except for the Barbarians. Actually, there was such a room, but there was no one in it.

[Behella – 0 people online.

If you look closely, the last entry about the visit was made a few months ago, and a red line was drawn above the person's nickname. This meant that in reality he was exiled or dead. Why were only barbarians like this? When I thought about it, I found a compelling reason. More precisely, two:

Firstly, the barbarian was not very popular as the main character. Even for myself, I often chose beastmen or elves before I completed the method of cultivating a Barbarian Shield Sword. Or I chose a person with good potential in the second half.

Secondly, barbarians must enter the labyrinth from the very start. Otherwise, they will starve. There was an extremely complicated coming-of-age ceremony, and the strict condition for growing up was to enter the labyrinth as soon as you woke up.

Few people chose him anymore, but even these people would still die at the very beginning.

For some reason, this caused me a moment's embarrassment. So instead, I searched for a community by class.

[Nobility] – 21 people online.

[Treasure Hunters] – 34 people online.

[Swordmaster] - 17 people online.

Healer, Archer, Sword Master and so on, each of which has more than 10 users online.

[Shield] – 3 people online.

There were only 3 tanks. 0 in racial community and 3 in class...

—…

Which path did I take? This made me a little unhappy, so this time I was looking for a community by nationality. Fortunately, there was a chat:

[Long Live Korean Independence] – 1 person online.

Only one person, but who am I to choose? It was a foreign game that didn't even have a Korean translation. To be honest, I thought that there would be no one at all.

Korean, right?

Without hesitation, I double-clicked my mouse.

***

To my surprise, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a room that looked like an aristocratic mansion. I thought it would be an ordinary skin, like in a vacant lot or in a field.

"Oh, hello!"

Before I could take a leisurely look around, a player who was online greeted me with a loud shout, a man with short hair in his mid-20s.

[Sergeant Lee].

When I checked the nickname, I froze.

"Sergeant Lee—" You will...?

"Brother... You understand me. I was thrown here on the day I was demobilized.

What a shitty situation that was!?
