Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 577

Episode 577 Return (3)

With the fox leaving, the already small number of people has decreased even more.

Wolf Goblin Queen.

Now, there are only three people participating in the game.

Auril Gavis muttered as she looked at the empty round table.

“I prepared hard, but it’s a bit disappointing. There are already only three left.”

Rather than not liking this situation, it was more a feeling of surprise.

Well, I understand that sentiment.

I was also a little surprised by this development.

‘I didn’t expect to give up the return ticket so easily.’

Anonymity disappears and identity is exposed?

It is too dangerous in a world where evil spirits are subject to summary execution. However, there is no meaning if you can only go home.

So I thought a game of chicken would unfold.

But…

the clown and the black mask left from the start, and the butterfly was quickly lost. The fox gave up on the grounds that living in this world is not bad.

Before the game even started in earnest, they broke away one after another…

“Then I’ll keep going.”

It was time for Auril Gavis to resume the OX Quiz.

The goblin carefully raised his hand.

“I… I will also quit here…”

The third declaration of giving up after the butterfly and the fox.

At this, Aurl Gavis clicked her tongue.

“is it? Then go away.”

“Are you not asking me why…? That… I’m not arguing… I’m just curious…”

“…so what’s the reason? Did you have a change of heart after hearing Miss Fox’s words?”

“Uh… that… I can’t say it had no effect at all…”

“No?”

“I… I don’t know how to say this…”

“It’s done, so let’s talk.”

As Auril Gavis spoke in an annoyed voice, the goblin averted his gaze and murmured softly.

“Because something doesn’t feel right.”

Hmm, a goblin’s intuition is trustworthy.

As soon as I heard it, I thought of it first, but on the other hand, I felt that Auril Gavis was not full of prayers.

“Right. Now that you know why, let’s leave. Oh, do you need time to say hello too?”

“Ah yes… just briefly…”

The goblin then spoke to everyone.

“I once heard from a friend I met at a language school that a casual coat of arms is a connection. According to the words, being brought to this strange world and meeting in a place like this wouldn’t be an ordinary relationship. “Some of you even know who I am.”

long introduction.

However, the main story was very short.

“So, even if something kills me, please let me live. Aren’t we the same players?”

I was wondering what you were trying to say.

“…Is that the end?”

“yes? Ah yes… that’s all I want to say.”

“Then let’s go.”

“Ah… yes… then bye…”

The goblin left, and the queen and the wolf looked at each other awkwardly.

Suddenly, only two people remained and it became the finals…

‘Am I really going to the end from now on?’

I thought of that first, but the situation went in a completely unexpected direction.

“I’ll quit here too.”

At those words, Aurel Gavis showed her true feelings for the first time.

“…What is your reason?”

A voice that sounded more than angry.

Well, it will. I think I’ve been working hard on something, but it’s not working properly.

“The reason is simple. I don’t trust you.”

“Unbelief… I have the power to send you home.”

“is it so. Maybe. No, I think there is a high possibility that he actually has the ability to do so. But I still can’t believe it.”

Soon the queen glanced at the wolf and continued.

“Isn’t that person a close relationship with you?”

Apparently, the queen was concerned.

The situation where you are being fooled to your heart’s content by using your wish to return home.

“In the end, I have no way of knowing even if it was designed so that that person would win. In the first place, to decide the outcome in the current situation, Wolf-sama would have to give up, but I don’t think Wolf-sama would make that choice.”

It was a very rational decision.

However, it was not just possible, and it was clear that he was influenced by seeing others quickly lose money.

“Goodbye, then I’ll leave.”

Afterwards, the queen left the venue without saying goodbye, and the winner of the OX quiz was determined in vain.

“Uh… uh…?”

The winner of the sweet reward is a wolf mask.

The wolf, who had been absent-minded as if he didn’t realize it, seemed to come to his senses and then asked in an excited voice.

“Gavis-sama, that… Then can I go home now?”

Can’t he understand the atmosphere?

I don’t know, but it was a very good sight for me as a bystander.

“Of course. A promise is a promise.”

“Thank you…! I really appreciate—.”

“So, can you keep your mouth shut for a moment?”

When you do the OX quiz or something, you seem so excited.

‘I’m angry, I’m angry.’

It was a very rare sight.

***

“….”

“….”

A heavy silence subsides when the wolf, belatedly aware of the atmosphere, shuts up.

But would you have the courage in this situation?

“Well… Then… When can I… get the reward…”

The wolf mentions the reward to Gavis, who will once more awake.

“When the time comes, I will come. So, are you going to leave?”

A voice that is deeply irritable.

In response, the wolf did not urge any more and bowed down.

“…yes. Then I’ll be waiting outside. Gavis.”

Even the wolf left, and only the two of them were left at the round table.

After watching quietly, I opened my mouth for the first time in a long time.

“Are you really going to let go?”

Since there are only two of them now, this is a question meant to be honest. However, there was no way this snarky old man could give an honest answer.

“Hmm, what do you think?”

“Well, to be honest, I don’t think it will lead to a good ending.”

“You lack faith in me.”

That’s a very strange word.

Then do what you normally trust.

“Anyway, it’s really sad. If it had gone around one or two more laps, you would have had an interesting look.”

“It’s fun to watch, so your taste is unique.”

“I have no intention of denying it… but aren’t you saying that?”

Well I couldn’t deny it either.

Wearing this mask and what I did wasn’t that different from this old man.

I asked straight forward.

“So why did you do this?”

Apologies for covering your face are all excuses.

But I still don’t know why I prepared this OX quiz game.

What was the reason?

“Faith is like gambling. As much as you walked, I hope you will come back this time.”

“however?”

“Before we talk to you, there is something I wanted to show you. But… Now that it’s come to this, even explaining it in words would be a bit ridiculous.”

“You have a knack for lengthening the word secret.”

“Cuckold, then do you have a knack for making everything simple and clear?”

At my age, I eat whatever I want and try not to lose a single word.

It was an ugly old man the more I looked at it, but I, who was born and raised in a Confucian country, decided to endure it. It’s been a long time since I met you, but I can’t blow this opportunity like this.

“Okay, I want to ask you a question.”

“question? Try it.”

“How did you find out about me?”

It was a question I always wanted to ask when it was just the two of us.

It didn’t seem like he was even thinking about it.

[Actually, isn’t this place the same as you made it?]

That old man came to the round table today and said that as soon as he saw me.

To put it simply, it means that he knew that the mask of the lion was the ‘Nivellez Entze’ he met 20 years ago.

‘No, actually, it seems like he knows everything about Bjorn Yandel just from what he’s saying.’

Anyway, before starting a conversation in earnest, I need to check how far the old man knows… ”

But you say your words get shorter and longer every time you meet?”

“Why is it good to be the elder elder now?”

When I asked with a smile, Auril Gavis responded with a welcoming voice.

“Uh… would you? Now that everyone is gone, there’s no need to pretend to be a lion…”

Apparently, I was uncomfortable with my squeaks.

“What good. I do. It’s not even difficult. Anyway, so what’s the answer? Is this a secret too?”

“Oh, you were asking how did I find out about you? The answer is simple. I waited and waited until 20 years passed. With that much information, it was easy to figure out that you were Bjorn Yandel.”

Hmm, that’s what I mean.

This makes sense, but there is another contradiction here.

“But there is something strange about that. Then why didn’t you recognize me right away the last time we first met at the Round Table?”

“That’s right, from your point of view, it’s not yet before you met me. I decided it was better to wait a little longer.”

“And that time is now?”

“It’s similar. So far, I’ve been careful to avoid meeting you as much as possible… but there’s one thing I want to confirm as soon as possible.”

Oh, come to think of it, you said you came because you had something to ask me.

“Then tell me now. What are you curious about?”

When I asked back coolly, as if I would tell you anything, the old man quickly put the question into his mouth as if he wanted to tell me at this time.

“Didn’t I tell you at this round table that you had an encounter with a witch?”

“yes. But what?”

“I want to hear more about how and where you met the witch.”

This isn’t even deja vu.

It was the exact same question the wolf asked me earlier.

‘Ah, since I didn’t answer, did you go there yourself?’

Well, somehow it makes sense to look at it that way.

That would mean that the information was so important to this old man that he had to revise his original plan.

And if you look at it from a different direction…

‘Are you saying that I’m the first one?’

As soon as I realized that fact, my body was arrogantly crossing my legs with my back leaning against the pedestal.

The instinctive behavior of a K-barbarian that catches a situation in its favor like a ghost.

“…”

Auril Gavis gave me a suspicious look at my change of attitude, but didn’t say anything.

‘Okay, I’ll just endure this much, right?’

Tuk-tuk.

Soon, as I was meaninglessly knocking on the table, an abandoned OX sign came into my field of vision.

They were things the old man made with one gesture.

‘Come to think of it, did you say that you regained all authority?’

Soon, I licked my lips and asked Aurl Gavis to ask.

“Old man over there? I’m thirsty, so please roll up a glass of cider.”

“…?”

“Ah, it’s cool because it’s ice-cold.”
