How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 83: Knock knock

A bustling inn morning.

Jeong Yu-shin sat at the counter, closed his eyes, and organized his thoughts.

He felt like he had cleared his mind of his busy mind and returned to the starting point.

It was thanks to the encouragement Darmon sent.

He had almost completed all the requests for promotion. However, the party was disbanded.

Since it had come to this, he decided to relax and take his time to train himself. It was something he absolutely had to do in order to advance to a deeper level.

In that sense, the most important thing right now was information.

Information about the labyrinth.

He had already taken the beginner explorer class to learn the information from the first to the fifth floor.

And the knowledge he had learned in the explorer class had saved his life.

It couldn't be underestimated.

In order to advance to the next stage, he absolutely had to do some preliminary research on the next labyrinth.

The problem was that good information was available at the city center library.

What was needed to obtain good information was the ability to read smoothly.

'Okay.'

He decided. He believed in the proverb that even a bull's horn should be pulled out in one go.

Jung Yu-shin opened his eyes and jumped up from his seat.

'I have to go to the orphanage academy.'

Jung Yu-shin approached Tarman, who was delivering food.

"Tarman, I will attend the orphanage class for the time being. You don't need to prepare lunch separately. And when the cat Suin wakes up, give him this letter."

Jung Yu-shin handed Tarman a small letter and silver coins.

The letter was a reply to the letter Darmon had sent.

He had a lot to write, so he racked his brain, but he wrote it briefly because he knew the words and didn't have enough space.

"Understood. I will definitely deliver it."

Tarman politely answered and took the letter.

Jung Yu-shin went up to the second floor, grabbed his bag, and ran to the temple of the Earth Mother.

He went to the temple receptionist to check attendance and went into the orphanage.

"Goodbye, kids."

When Jung Yu-shin suddenly came in and greeted them with a smile, the children were shocked.

“Wow! It’s that black-haired old man!”

“···It’s scary.”

“Didn’t you go missing in the labyrinth?”

‘Whew. You should learn to write quickly or something.’

I greeted them pleasantly since it had been a long time since I saw them, but the children were too exclusive.

Jung Yu-shin sat down in his seat and took out his writing utensils from his teddy bear bag.

Knock knock.

After waiting for a while, Mi-on came into the classroom with her blond hair fluttering.

“Wow! Teacher Mi-on is here!”

“Hehehe, it’s Teacher Mi-on.”

Mi-on smiled brightly and stood at the podium.

“Everyone, please take your seats and be quiet. I will begin the class.”

““Yes.””

The children answered at the same time and sat down.

When the class started, Jung Yu-shin opened his eyes wide and focused.

He tried his best to build a foundation to move forward.

“···Then the water spirit said to the ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) greedy fisherman, ‘Why do you take children? Your greed has reached the bottom of the sea, so I will make you a child.’”

Mi-on read the fairy tale in a soft voice.

The children listened to the story as if they were possessed, but Jeong Yu-shin diligently moved his pen.

He wrote down all the words he didn’t know. Fortunately, thanks to his continuous study in his spare time, there were more words that caught his eye.

He memorized the meanings of the words during break time.

Time passed, it was lunchtime, and all classes were over.

Mi-on opened his mouth with a smile.

“You all worked hard. Today’s class is over. Please write your appreciation by tomorrow.”

““Mr. Mi-on, you worked hard too!””

The children bowed their heads in greeting and rushed out of the classroom.

And then, a quiet classroom.

Only Jeong Yu-shin and Mi-on remained.

“Ska-nim.”

“Mion Priest.”

Mi-on left the podium and came closer.

“Ska-nim, how have you been?”

“There were a few things that happened, but I got through it without any problems. How has Mi-on Priest been?”

“I’ve been doing well.”

I see. She thought it was fortunate that she was doing well.

When Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes became serious, Mi-on swallowed hard.

“Mion Priest.”

“Yes.”

“I have one thing I want to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

“I heard that Mi-on Priest went exploring before. I know that anything above the 6th floor is called the upper floor, but I don’t know the details. Can I ask you about that?”

“Yes...yes.”

Mi-on’s voice became strangely low. Should I say she lost her energy?

Jung Yu-shin was anxious.

He knew a lot about engravings and was a job that often met explorers, so he thought he would have some information about the labyrinth.

Was that a wrong judgment?

Mion opened his mouth.

“As you know, Ska-nim, the path splits starting from the 5th floor of the labyrinth. There are three transfer stones.”

He knew this.

“On the 5th floor of the labyrinth, at the end of the ruined city of Engrav, there is a place that leads to the ‘Forest’ floor. In the central area, there is a transfer stone that leads to the ‘Corridor’ floor. Lastly, there is a transfer stone that leads to the ‘Sewer’ floor in the basement.”

Jung Yu-shin stroked his chin and thought deeply.

Forest. Corridor. Sewer.

Which floor would be the most beneficial to go to in this situation?

“Is there a floor that Priest Mion recommends?”

Mion crossed her arms and remained silent. She seemed to be quietly thinking about something.

‘Huh?’

Jung Yu-shin’s body, which was looking at Mi-on, stiffened.

The plump breasts hidden in the white priest’s uniform were held in his arms and spread out like pudding.

Perhaps because it was summer, the smell of momma wafted into his nose.

“Ugh.”

“Huh?”

Mi-on came to her senses and tilted her head.

“Ah...no.”

Jung Yu-shin shook his head and looked out the window.

‘To be shaken by something like this. Yu-shin, you are a failure to be a momma.’

‘But you liked the thick milky smell that pooled in your chest during the summer, didn’t you?’

‘...’

The angel and devil inside him were on the same page for the first time in a long while.

‘Ah. The darkness of the labyrinth again.’

He straightened his posture after calming himself down.

Mi-on also put his hands down and straightened his back.

“Let me tell you first. My advice is just advice, so take it with a grain of salt. The labyrinth is a place where you risk your life to explore. You shouldn’t leave the choices up to others.”

“I trust you, Priestess Mion.”

“...”

Mion’s face turned slightly red.

“Wait a minute. Hmm. What was it?”

Mion hesitated slightly and continued.

“Ahem! I’d like to recommend the forest area to you, Ska.”

“Is there a reason?”

“As far as I know, Ska uses a sword. He’s also lightly armed.”

“That’s right.”

“The monsters that live there are generally weak. Of course, there are some that aren’t, but it’s not a bad floor for an explorer who uses a sword as their main weapon.”

“There’s another reason. There’s a chance of obtaining various valuable herbs and leather. They’re in high demand, so they’re highly profitable.”

“Lastly, it’s because of Skarnim’s imprint. The monsters living in the forest area mostly have poison and disease. With Skarnim’s venom protection, I think it’ll be relatively easy to explore. Of course, you shouldn’t let your guard down.”

Mion’s words ended.

Jung Yu-shin nodded. A natural and reasonable reason. The explanation felt like a stretch.

To summarize.

There were two reasons to go to the ‘forest’ layer.

You could gain an advantage in the matchup.

You could make more money.

There was no reason not to go since it would make exploration easier. It was worth a try. Of course, you had to prepare thoroughly.

“Where should I go to find out more information about the forest area?”

“You can go to the library in the central area. But you’ll need to learn a little more, right?”

Jung Yu-shin was troubled by Mion’s answer.

What should I do?

I wanted to run to the library right away.

‘No. Don’t be impatient. Come to your senses.’

“I’ll learn slowly.”

Mi-on wiggled her fingers at Jung Yu-shin’s words.

“Ska-nim, if it’s okay with you, would you like me to tutor you? Just the two of us.”

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes widened.

This kind of luck came all of a sudden?

“Really? Thank you!”

“I’ll schedule the tutoring after lunch. Is that okay?”

“Yes! Please!”

‘Actually, isn’t Shin-gwan Mi-on an angel?’

Mi-on tells you, Isn’t that a lot? Suddenly, he felt sorry.

“Mion, I’m sorry for only receiving like this.”

“No. Ska-sama has given me a lot.”

Mion’s face, which had been smiling brightly, darkened slightly.

“Why is that?”

“Ah... no. One of my precious ‘things’ disappeared.”

Things.

Things.

“Shall I find them for you?”

“Oh, no!”

Mion waved her arms. As the Mamma Tong that suddenly popped out shook violently, Jeong Yu-shin’s head turned white.

All thoughts disappeared as if he had been hit on the back of his head.

I think he said something about things. He couldn’t remember.

“Uh... uh. Yes. I understand.”

“Yes, yes.”

The hot summer wind blew into the classroom, caressing the hair of the two men and women.

“Then I’ll go first.”

“I’ll prepare enough textbooks. Just come with your body, Ska.”

“Yes. Thank you as always.”

“It’s my pleasure.”

Jung Yu-shin left the classroom with an awkward smile.

He felt full even though he hadn’t eaten.

His steps felt strangely light.

He returned to the inn.

“I’m home.”

Tarman, who was wiping the table, raised his head.

“Ska, did something good happen to you?”

“I’m glad that I’ve gained knowledge. How could I not be glad to learn and learn again?”

Tarman tilted his head at Jung Yu-shin’s strange answer.

“···Yes. But Ska, we have a guest.”

“Who is it?”

“They say they’re from the Swordsmanship Guild.”

Tarman pointed to a table in the corner.

A boy with messy hair was sitting there. I remember. It was the trainee I saw last time.

“Hello, Ska-nim.”

The boy stood up and greeted him politely.

“What’s the matter?”

“The union leader asked me to come.”

“Tell him I’m busy filling up my mind.”

“···He asked if I could feed him.”

“I’m busy right now, so tell him I’ll stop by soon.”

“He asked me to give him the exact date.”

“Tell him I’ll be there in three days.”

“Yes. Please come.”

“Okay.”

The boy stood up, bowed again, and left the inn.

Jung Yu-shin watched the boy leaving and suddenly had a thought.

‘No way.’

Did he get caught fighting outside the labyrinth city?

His spine gave him goosebumps.

To be honest, they fought like dogs.

It was more like a psychological warfare and guerrilla warfare using poison rather than a battle utilizing swordsmanship and sacred weapons.

If Ashur knew, it was a fight that would make him foam at the mouth and go crazy.

‘Ah. I should have fought more gracefully.’

But in the end, I won fairly with swordsmanship, so it was okay, right?

I didn’t want to go to the swordsmanship association anymore.

I sighed and walked to the counter.

At that moment.

Squeak.

“Mister! Hello!”

The inn door opened and the fox beast Luna came in and greeted him.

“Are you here to perform today?”

“That’s right!”

“Yes.”

Jeong Yu-shin sat down on the counter chair and opened a book.

It was the book Mion had given him before leaving the classroom. A children’s storybook. It was a story about a water spirit and a fisherman.

Jeong Yu-shin read the book intently.

The sun set and Luna's performance began. People gathered around the table and cheered.

"Ta-da!!! Slime transformation!"

"Wow!!! So cute!"

"Ugh! Look at that soft slime. If only I were a little younger, what?!"

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Linda burst in from somewhere and danced with the slime.

"Look at that white mouse wearing a hat!"

"This is crazy. I don't know who the missionary is, but he must know something cute!"

Jung Yu-shin, who was reading a book, snickered.

That icy Ingrid knows cuteness.

It was something that even the dog Su-in, who was passing by, would laugh at.

He closed the book he was reading and approached where Luna was performing.

Luna sweated and diligently directed the slimes.

Lindo danced hard to the squelching movements of the slime.

Moment.

“Oops!”

Luna, whose legs gave out, slipped off the chair.

“Luna!”

Jung Yu-shin blew through the crowd like the wind and hugged Luna.

“Hui?”

Luna let out a weak voice.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s...it’s okay.”

“Okay. Be careful.”

“I understand. But, sir?”

“Why?”

“Because you’re holding me.”

Luna pointed to her belly button with her finger.

“The bottom of Luna’s belly is swollen.”

A sudden bombshell announcement.

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes grew as wide as a door.

“What?!”

A silence colder than the winter wind descended on the inn hall.
