How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 50: There’s something under the bed.
The next morning.
Jung Yu-shin opened his eyes. His body was # Nоvеlight # stiff from the intense training and he had difficulty moving.
“Whew.”
He wriggled like an earthworm on the bed and barely got up.
He opened the window, took a deep breath of the summer dawn air, and looked down at the street.
The street was still deserted with no people walking around.
He got dressed and went down to the first floor.
Tarman was moving busily in the inn hall.
“Are you awake?”
Tarman bowed his head to greet Jung Yu-shin.
Tarman’s face looked dark.
“Yeah. Tarman, did you sleep poorly last night?”
Tarman scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.
“I slept well.”
“Tell me if it’s hard.”
“Haha.”
Tarman smiled blandly and swept the floor diligently.
When I entered the kitchen, Anne was moving busily.
“Help me?”
“Oh! Are you awake? It’s okay. I can do this much by myself.”
Anne’s face also looked a little dark.
What’s wrong?
Jung Yu-shin tilted his head and went out of the kitchen and into the yard.
He stood in the yard and stretched. He took off his upper body. It was because it was summer and he easily got sweaty. Besides, he didn’t have many spare clothes.
‘I have to do laundry.’
He went out in the morning and came back at night while practicing and studying, so he didn’t have much time left.
Anne did all the housework in the kitchen, so it was difficult to leave her to do the laundry. It was especially embarrassing to leave things like underwear.
‘I should make time to do the laundry sometime.’
Jung Yu-shin looked around the yard.
Darmon’s house was on the left, and a warehouse was on the right. There was a small well in the corner, and a clothes drying rack on one side.
When he saw the house, he thought of Darmon.
How are you?
‘Yoo-shin, you’re seriously ill.’
I repeated to myself and hit my cheek a few times to regain my senses and ran through the yard.
“Hoo-hoo. Hoo-hoo.”
I ran slowly, breathing in and out.
As my body gradually became hotter, my distracting thoughts disappeared. I focused on my breathing and walked briskly.
As my body became more and more soaked with sweat, I stopped running and swung my sword.
Hoo-hoo.
Hoo-hoo.
Jung Yu-shin’s sword cut through the dawn air.
I swung my sword here and there in the air, recalling the experiences I gained from sparring with Ashur all day yesterday.
Sweat poured down from my entire body.
As my muscles became increasingly sore, I stopped swinging my sword and took a deep breath.
When will I be able to learn advanced techniques like parrying?
Impatience filled my heart.
Jung Yu-shin shook his head to clear his mind.
He continued to summon Sacred Weapons until his magic power was depleted.
“Whew. Whoosh.”
Jung Yu-shin knelt on the floor and gasped for breath.
His magic power was depleted because he had summoned them continuously to the limit, and his body had no strength left.
“I...”
He turned his head and saw Anne standing there.
“Is breakfast ready?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll go.”
He wiped himself with a towel hanging from the clothes drying rack, got dressed, and went through the kitchen to the hall.
Anne and Tarman Jung Yu-shin sat down at the table.
“I... have something to tell you.”
Anne hesitated and said.
“What is it?”
“I think the inn is not making any profit.”
“How much is it?”
Anne began to explain.
Jung Yu-shin listened calmly, crossing his arms.
“···This is how we barely manage to avoid a deficit.”
“So sales are steady, but food prices are rising. That’s why the profit from selling food is decreasing. The decreased profit is currently being made up for with the money we make from selling alcohol. Is that what you’re saying?”
“Yes.”
Jeong Yu-shin rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment.
“I won’t compromise on the quality of the food. I don’t know anything about cooking or running an inn, but there’s something I want to keep.”
‘Because it’s Darmon’s inn.’
“It doesn’t have to be much. If we run a deficit, I’ll try to make up for it somehow. It’ll be hard because it’s the first time, but please endure a little longer.”
“Yes.”
Anne and Tarman answered at the same time.
Now that we’re on the subject, I decided to ask one more question.
It was a difficult question to ask. It was also a wound to Tarman and Anne.
“···This question may be a bit sudden, but how is Marie doing?”
A priestess serving the Mother Earth.
A girl who was raped by a hobgoblin and became pregnant.
She was mentally damaged by the shock and was recovering in the temple.
“···Mary is doing well. Thanks to the efforts of Priest Mion, we were able to ‘deal with’ the hobgoblin cub safely. I heard that she was slowly coming back to her senses when I visited last time, but she’s been busy recently···.”
Anne tried to evade.
Is that so?
“Don’t reduce the amount of compensation you take.”
Jeong Yu-shin said something and scratched his head. He turned his head and looked at Tarman and continued.
“Tarman, was I being a bit of a pushover?”
“Yes. If you give it away like this, what’s left?”
‘You’re left with nothing.’
He swallowed his words as he tried to speak.
Tarman’s round eyes were red. Anne’s eyes were the same.
Silence settled over the table.
There was something tickling my heart in the silence.
“I’ll say it again, I’m not saying I’m going to give up on running the inn. Don’t worry, I’ll think about it myself.”
Jung Yu-shin said, holding a fork in his hand.
“Yes.”
The faces of Tarman and Anne brightened as they answered.
They ate while talking about this and that, and got up from their seats.
“I’ll go.”
“Yes.”
“Yes. Have a nice day.”
I left the inn with the two people seeing me off.
I went against the people heading to the labyrinth and arrived at the temple.
I checked the attendance by showing my face to the person in charge of the temple reception and went into the orphanage.
“Hello, sir.”
The little boy ran over and greeted me.
“Yes.”
“You know, sir.”
Jung Yu-shin sat down, opened his teddy bear bag, and took out his writing utensil.
“Can you not make me talk?”
“Hmph.”
The little girl cried.
‘Oh really.’
“Okay. Don’t cry. What is it?”
“I saw someone just like you yesterday.”
Jung Yu-shin’s eyes widened.
“What?!”
“Wow. You’re scared, you, you.”
“Sorry. You’re just surprised. Did you do something bad to me?”
“No. You just took a quick look around the orphanage and disappeared.”
‘Those crazy guys. Isn’t this really dangerous?’
The fact that the lawbreakers of the labyrinth city were slowly approaching sent a chill down my spine.
Are they letting me know that I’m after you?
If so, they’re pretty vicious.
Jung Yu-shin patted his forehead once.
“Whew. Be careful. They’re dangerous people.”
“Why?”
He couldn’t bring himself to say the words rape or semen pickling in front of the little girl.
“Be careful. Don’t follow me just because I’m buying you something delicious. Do you understand?”
The child tilted his head.
“If you buy me something delicious, aren’t you a good person?”
“No. Those people are the ones who seduce you and eat your liver.”
“Wow...Wow.”
Tears welled up in the child’s eyes.
‘Oh, I don’t know. You have to grow up crying. What can I do?’
Jeong Yu-shin scratched his head and looked down at the child who was on the verge of crying.
“Mister! Why are you making her cry?!”
The blue-haired, bold girl interjected.
“I just told you to be careful.”
“I told you to be careful. Why are you saying things like ‘eat your liver’ or something?”
“Whew, I’m sorry.”
The blue-haired girl held the little child in her arms and patted her head.
“Sharon, don’t cry.”
The blue-haired girl murmured.
The tearful child sniffled and hugged the blue-haired girl.
“Woooooo. Sister Lily.”
“Right. Right. Good kids don’t cry.”
Knock knock.
The door opened and a strict-looking male priest came in.
Diego Perez.
A mid-level priest who served the Earth Mother.
The children grumbled at the sight of Diego.
Most of them were about why Mr. Mi-on wasn’t coming.
“Everyone be quiet.”
When Diego knocked on the podium, the children became quiet.
“Teacher Mi-on is not feeling well today, so she can’t come.”
“Really?”
“What should we do...”
The classroom was filled with the children’s worried voices.
“Quiet.”
Diego looked around the classroom and said.
“She said it’s nothing serious. She said she’ll be fine soon, so don’t worry.”
Diego looked at Jung Yu-shin for a moment as he finished speaking.
Is that so?
Jung Yu-shin sighed and opened his book.
Still, his heart was heavy.
He promised himself that he would visit her later and apologize.
‘We’re not even dating, so why are you giving me a belly massage? The standard is to kiss first.’
No matter what Jung Yu-shin thought, Diego’s class was conducted kindly and meticulously.
The children immediately focused on Diego’s class.
Contrary to his strict appearance, he was a sincere young priest.
“Excellent. Mr. Ska, you fixed all the parts I pointed out.”
“Thank you.”
“We can move on to the next book.”
“Really?”
The story of the wind spirit and the woodcutter was a bit boring. It was also cruel.
Diego smiled and nodded.
“What kind of book is it?”
Jung Yu-shin asked.
“Let’s postpone that for the next fun.”
‘This priest has a talent for making people impatient.’
Still, he was able to wait with a happy heart. Learning something more was always fun. It was also necessary.
When lunch came, class ended and the children left the classroom.
Jung Yu-shin packed his writing utensils and put them in his teddy bear bag.
“Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Diego.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Ska-nim.”
“By the way, there’s a rumor that Barbaroi came into the orphanage yard. Is that true?”
Diego’s eyes widened.
“Really?!”
“You didn’t know?”
“Yes. A friend from the orphanage said he saw it.”
“I’ll check first. Do you know the child’s name?”
“Sharon.”
“I understand. ···Is the evil that was driven in coming back out?”
Diego turned around and muttered something, but Jung Yu-shin didn’t hear it.
Jung Yu-shin left the classroom, leaving Diego behind.
He went to the Shinjeon restaurant, waited in line, and sat down to get his food.
The menu consisted of vegetable soup with herbs, rye bread, and watered-down wine.
Jung Yu-shin took a bite of the soup and then bit into the bread.
He felt something mushy inside the bread, and a fishy taste rose up.
‘What is this?’
He hurriedly looked inside the bread. There was a fish head poking out, half-chewed.
Ugh.
Jung Yu-shin covered his mouth.
Suddenly putting fish inside the bread?
It felt like he had stepped on a landmine after everything was going well.
Is this an assassination?
He looked around and saw that the other priests were eating deliciously.
“Wow, bread with fish in it? It’s the grace of Mother Earth.”
“What day is it today? Why is such a precious special dish being served?”
Jung Yu-shin’s expression crumpled. He couldn’t bring himself to spit it out, so he covered his nose and chewed, then swallowed the contents with wine.
“By the way, did Priest Mi-on miss the dawn mass today?”
“That’s right. You’ve been up all night in the library for the past few days, searching for divine magic, and it looks like you’ve finally caught a cold. The commander of the Cain Knights came to visit yesterday, but it looks like you haven’t been able to meet him.”
“Oh, this is a big deal. I should at least pray.”
Jeong Yu-shin got up from his seat.
I don’t know if it was because of the fish bread or the guilt about the lukewarm, but the food didn’t go down.
He left the restaurant and arrived at the temple courtyard.
At that moment, a group of explorers came out of the temple.
Two humans.
One dwarf.
One gnome.
A total of four people.
They looked exhausted, but they were smiling.
“Kwaaah! I finally got the strength enhancement seal!”
The human male with the longsword on his back raised his arm and shouted.
“Hehe. That’s great. I’m glad I got the spirit-acceleration seal too.”
The human woman, who seemed to be a wizard, smiled and said.
“Haa. A wall-climbing engraving? This is a total dud.”
The dwarf priest sighed and scratched his head as he said.
The party members chattered happily, but one of them stood silently.
The human inspector opened his mouth to the silent gnome.
“The heavy foot engraving you got this time, right?”
“···It’s hard to run and the sound of your feet hitting the ground is louder, so it’s hard for you as a guide.”
The gnome nodded weakly and answered.
“···It’s okay! Just erase it.”
“That’s right, it’s not that great of a negative engraving. Don’t worry about it.”
The party members consoled the gnome, who was feeling depressed.
The gnome’s face brightened slightly.
“Yeah. I guess I took it too seriously. Just erase it.”
The human inspector patted the gnome on the shoulder.
“We’re going slowly, one step at a time. Don’t worry too much. Let’s go eat and rest for now. I’m so tired.”
“I need to wash up. I haven’t washed up in a week, I stink.”
The dwarf priest grumbled.
The party members left the temple chattering away.
Jung Yu-shin watched them from afar.
A strength enhancement seal? I was so envious that my stomach started to hurt.
And what about the speed increase seal?
‘I know how to eat good seals too.’
Jung Yu-shin licked his lips.
He also envied his good-natured colleagues.
I wish I had good colleagues too.
How great would it be if I had strong allies to break through the dark labyrinth together?
‘Enough.’
He stopped thinking. Thinking more would only make his stomach hurt. He had a lot to do. Jung Yu-shin quickly walked to the swordsmanship guild.

“Your face is filled with desire.”
Ashur blurted out with an irritated expression.
Jung Yu-shin’s heart pounded as he ran diligently through the training ground.
Is this the Jangseongjok Sword Master? He was not ordinary.
“What?”
He asked nonchalantly, controlling his expression.
“Don’t control your expression. I can see everything. Don’t think about anything else and focus on training.”
“Are you Gung-ye?”
Jung Yu-shin’s expression crumpled.
“Here, put on another sandbag.”
Jung Yu-shin approached him, limping, and put the bag Ashur had given him on his ankle.
“Run.”
“Yes.”
He ran for a long time in the blazing sun.
His whole body was covered in sweat and dust, and his breathing was so fast that his mind was spinning.
“Keuheuheu. Huuuuup.”
Jung Yu-shin did the last lap and collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath.
He was about to develop a madness that he had never felt before.
“Yeah, that’s the face. The face that took a step back.”
Ashur said with a smile.
‘Aren’t you crazy?’
Jung Yu-shin glared at Ashur.
Ashur threw his iron sword.
Thud.
The iron sword fell to the training ground floor.
Jung Yu-shin barely managed to grab the sword with his trembling hands and stood up.
“Come.”
Ashur’s eyes lit up.
The two men’s sparring continued deep into the night.
Kaaaang!!!
Kaaaang!!!
Ashur, who had been clashing swords, stepped back.
“That’s it, that’s it for today.”
“Hoooooooo. Huh.”
Jung Yu-shin immediately fell to the floor.
Ashur looked down at Jung Yu-shin and pointed out each of his mistakes.
Jung Yu-shin listened to Ashur’s words while gasping for breath.
“···But.”
“What is it?”
“A Barbaroi has come all the way to the Earth Mother Orphanage. I feel threatened, so what should I do?”
“There’s nothing you can do.”
“...”
“It’s late at night, so you’d better hurry up and go back.”
Ashur said with a smirk.
Jung Yu-shin staggered up from his seat and left the training ground.
Ashur watched Jung Yu-shin’s back as he gradually moved away and muttered softly.
“···Are they slowly coming back to the streets? You’ve held out for a long time.”
Jung Yu-shin walked quickly back to the inn.
He opened the wooden door and looked around the inn hall.
Did Anne and Tarman get off work?
There was no one.
I stuffed the snacks on the counter into my stomach and went up to the second floor to my room.
I took off my clothes, dried myself with a towel, and lay down on the bed.
I put my arms around my head and closed my eyes.
It was really Barbaro, but I was so tired anyway.
Because of the increasingly difficult training, my head would always feel dizzy and I would fall asleep easily at night.
Since I arrived safely, I decided not to worry about them anymore.
“Hwaaam.”
Rustling.
There was a sound from under the bed.
Jung Yu-shin’s yawning suddenly stopped.
There was something.
Under the bed.
