How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 82: Summer night

Jung Yu-shin's eyes lit up even more as he looked at the teddy bear.

"I told you to come here."

"···Ugh. I forgot something! I'll tell you later."

The teddy bear stepped back and said.

Jung Yu-shin jumped up from his seat and strode over to him.

The teddy bear looked up at Jung Yu-shin and trembled.

"Why...Why are you doing this, Bear!"

Jung Yu-shin quickly put his arm into the teddy bear's armpit.

"Bear!"

The captivated teddy bear flailed in shock.

It was disgusting to see the teddy bear pounding its chest with its cotton-like fist.

To see such a cute friend in the crazy labyrinth city.

'I'm going crazy.'

Jung Yu-shin made a face to keep himself from showing it.

He immediately picked up the teddy bear and sat it down on the chair opposite him.

“···I helped you get up because you were worried it would be uncomfortable. Tell me. What do you want me to help you with?”

“Hoo. Hoo.”

The teddy bear gasped and held his chest tightly.

“Tarman!”

“Yes!”

Tarman quickly ran over.

“Bring this guy some fruit juice.”

“Yes! Huh?! Mr. Bampring!”

Tarman shouted at the teddy bear. The teddy bear seemed to come to his senses and raised his head.

“Clothes! Isn’t that Tarman?”

“Tarman, did you know this little bear friend?”

“Yes. And Mr. Bampring is a bit old to be called a friend.”

“How old are you?”

“I’m 33 this year.”

“I... I see. I apologize for being rude.”

Jeong Yu-shin bowed his head and apologized.

“I understand. Our honeypot race has been around for a while.”

The honeypot race.

‘There were many races in the bear people.’

Was this what Aldain meant by the many races of the Eastern Federation a few days ago?

“Mr. Bampring, please wait a moment. I’ll bring some fruit juice.”

“It’s okay. I’ll just talk and go.”

Tarman quietly sat down next to Jung Yu-shin.

“Big. What’s the request?”

Jung Yu-shin asked.

“I’d like you to move the goods.”

Goods.

“What kind of goods are you talking about?”

“I bought wheat, and I’d like you to move it to the warehouse.”

Wheat?

“Do you run a bakery?”

“Of course! Because I have the Bang Bang Hand imprint!”

Teddy Bear spread out his hands.

Soft meatball.

Jung Yu-shin carefully observed the teddy bear's hand and opened his mouth.

"What is the Bang Bang Hand Imprint?"

"It's an imprint that makes bread taste better!"

The Bang Bang Hand Imprint that makes bread taste better.

A crazy labyrinth.

"Did you go exploring?"

"That's right! He's retired now, though."

Jung Yu-shin scratched his head.

I thought he was just a small and cute bear, but does he have some hidden power?

Teddy Bear, Bampring took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

"I submitted a request to the Explorers' Guild, but no one accepted. I came here because they said there's a strong and kind Barbaroi."

A strong and kind Barbaroi?

Jung Yu-shin turned his head and looked at Tarman sitting next to him.

"Tarman, is that you? Isn't it too gold-plated?"

“I just told you the truth.”

“Okay.”

Jung Yu-shin turned his head again and looked at Bampring.

“How much is the compensation?”

“···Bread.”

Bread?

Jung Yu-shin crossed his arms.

“What do you mean?”

“The Lionel merchants sold good quality wheat, so we ended up spending too much of our budget. We don’t have any money.”

There was a reason why the explorers didn’t accept it.

Who would give bread instead of money?

Jung Yu-shin put his hand on his chin and thought.

In order to be promoted to Lieutenant Explorer, it was essential to solve a request within the Labyrinth City.

In short, a request that had to be done.

It also seemed easy.

Jung Yu-shin nodded.

“It doesn’t seem like it will take that long, so I will accept it.”

“Thank you!”

Teddy bear raised both arms high in the sky and danced around.

Jung Yu-shin clenched his teeth.

'Kreurung!'

'You crazy bastard. Control yourself.'

In an instant, the conflict between the devil and the angel inside him crossed.

"It's decided, so there's no need to delay. Let's go."

"I understand!"

Jung Yu-shin and Teddy bear got up from their seats and left the inn.

"Ah! Mister!"

Luna found Jung Yu-shin and ran over.

He kept calling him daddy and tried to assassinate him, so Jung Yu-shin begged and asked to be called uncle, and he was glad that he listened.

Luna and Teddy bear started talking as if they knew each other.

"Mister Bampring is fine too."

"Luna, how is your mother?"

"Mom is fine. Uncle Ska helped her so that she wouldn't go far away."

“I see.”

“Where is Mr. Bampring going?”

“He’s going to work.”

“I’m going with him!”

Luna chimed in.

Jung Yu-shin walked with a small fox named Su-in and a teddy bear on either side of him.

A strange march. People on the street kept looking at him and whispering.

It didn’t take long. But it was a place he had never seen before.

It was a refreshing sight for Jung Yu-shin, who always walked the same route.

In a word, should we call it a bakery street?

The delicious smell of bread filled the street.

A large crowd of people gathered around to look at the bread on the stalls.

Jung Yu-shin scratched his head.

He was worried that he had been so focused on the labyrinth that he had been indifferent to the life around him.

“Let’s hurry up and go!”

“Yes.”

At Teddy Bear’s urging, Jung Yu-shin passed the crowd and arrived at a bakery.

It was a building made of wood and bricks with a large honey pot drawn on the sign.

Teddy Bear raised his short arm and pointed to the honey pot.

“Honey pot! It’s the pride of our honeypot race.”

“I see.”

In front of the bakery, there were a huge number of wheat sacks piled up.

‘There’s a lot.’

Jung Yu-shin looked down at Teddy Bear.

Was his name Popuring or Mumuring?

“Is it okay to buy this much?”

“It feels a bit excessive. But Lionel Kingdom wheat has a wonderfully fragrant aroma!”

The fact that the wheat was transported during the summer season like now means that it was sown in the fall of last year.

Since winter wheat usually has a high protein content, it made sense why they bought a large quantity of wheat at this time.

“I understand.”

“Luna is here to cheer!”

“Okay.”

Jung Yu-shin rolled up his sleeves and went to the pile of wheat sacks.

He sighed as he looked at the wheat sacks stacked higher than his height.

He guessed that there were about 300 of them.

He shook his head and gathered his courage.

‘This is about it.’

As always.

One by one from the beginning.

Jung Yu-shin lifted the wheat sacks, put them on his shoulder, and carried them to the warehouse of Gom Su-in’s bakery.

‘This is no joke.’

Sweat formed on the tip of his chin and dripped down.

It was too much work to call it honey, and too easy to call it hell, like exploring a maze.

It felt like one sack weighed about 40kg.

It was a hot summer, so sweat poured down like rain.

People on the street were staring at him. But he couldn’t pay attention.

He moved about 150 bags diligently.

His back and knees were aching.

Jung Yu-shin sat down in the shade of the bakery building.

“Whew. I’ll take a break.”

“Here, take a break while you eat this.”

The teddy bear came over and handed him some bread.

“Please give me some water. Not bread.”

He choked on it and felt like he was going to die.

“You must have worked hard!”

Luna came over and fanned him with her hand. The three slime brothers who had been summoned came closer and shook their soft bodies.

He didn’t feel a single breath of wind, but he felt a strange sense of joy.

Is this what it feels like to be a father?

For some reason, he felt a surge of strength.

Jung Yu-shin smiled, got up from his seat, and moved the wheat bags again.

By the time the sun above his head set in the west, he had finished all his work.

His whole body was drenched in sweat.

Jung Yu-shin sat down at the entrance of the bakery, sobbing.

Luna was not there. Since it was getting dark, he sent her home first.

“Whew. There is nothing easy in the world.”

“You worked hard.”

Teddy Bear came over and offered him water.

Jung Yu-shin drank the water and got up from his seat.

“Wait a minute, Bear.”

Teddy Bear went into the bakery and came back out.

In his cute hands were a bag containing various types of bread and a piece of paper.

The document that he had been waiting for, the request completion document.

It was a difficult task, but his fatigue disappeared when he saw the document.

“Take this paper and go to the Explorers’ Guild.”

“Understood. Sell lots of bread.”

“We will continue to supply delicious bread.”

They said they would supply it.

Jung Yu-shin tilted his head.

“Were you supplying bread to our inn?”

“Yes. I thought you were the agent of the innkeeper, Darmon, but you weren’t?”

“I didn’t look into it in detail. Now that I think about it, it’s embarrassing.”

“You don’t have to blame yourself. Tarman and Anne praised you so much. You’re honest and dependable. You’re like a giant tree, someone you can trust and rely on.”

“You’re putting honey on my face.”

Jung Yu-shin laughed and joked.

“Huh... Huh! How could you say such obscene things! Get out of my way!”

“...”

He asked why he said such obscene things, but Teddy Bear refused to answer.

Jung Yu-shin returned to the inn, leaving Teddy Bear behind, who was angry.

As he entered the inn, he noticed some familiar faces.

All of his party members were sitting in one place. However, the grandmother-loving elf was nowhere to be seen.

“Scar.”

The knight, Soline, called Jung Yushin.

“It’s been a while.”

Jung Yushin smiled and approached him and sat down.

The atmosphere in the party was strangely subdued.

“I’m sorry.”

Soline suddenly bowed his head and apologized.

“Why? What’s going on?”

“I think I should leave the party. There was a call from the temple. I have to leave the labyrinth city.”

He swallowed his bitter taste.

“I understand. But where is Pirion?”

“Priest Pirion was dispatched to a small village temple in the southern Lionel Kingdom territory. I heard that the priest who was serving there passed away, leaving a vacancy. He asked me to tell you that he was sorry.”

Is that so?

He swallowed the sigh rising inside him.

“I...I’ll fall for it too.”

Galahheim said.

“Is something wrong?”

“···I’ll be honest. Scar, you’re scary.”

What does that mean?

“Please tell me more.”

“You’re too deeply entangled with the underworld. Explorers usually don’t get involved to this extent. This is my feeling, but I think you’ll get even deeper. It’s too much for me to handle.”

The guide. He had a good feeling.

“Understood. You can leave.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No. It’s my karma.”

Jung Yu-shin smiled bitterly.

“But Oswald has captured the 5th prince’s nanny, so I’ll stay until the case is solved.”

Soline said. A faint smile appeared on Jung Yu-shin’s lips.

As expected, he’s Gil-seon’s junior knight. He’s loyal.

Jung Yu-shin shook his head.

“The 5th Prince’s Yumogun has already been resolved. You can leave comfortably.”

“Really?! How did you resolve it?”

Soline asked in a surprised voice.

“It’s a secret. I can’t say it lightly either. Please understand.”

“···I see. I understand.”

Soline had a look on her face that she had guessed something, but she didn’t dare open her mouth to ask more questions.

Jung Yu-shin saw off the party members who were leaving.

The evening was getting darker. She sighed as she watched the backs of Soline and Gallaheim leaving.

I thought it would last longer this time.

It wasn’t.

I understand because it’s a temporary party.

Everyone had their own circumstances, so it wasn’t something that could be forced.

The world was full of difficult things.

The most difficult thing of all was people.

The backs of the party members disappeared into the crowd.

Jung Yu-shin returned to the inn restaurant and helped Anne and Tarman clean the store.

As time passed, Anne and Tarman left work.

Late at night. The first floor of the inn was empty.

He sat alone at the counter and poured himself a drink.

Creak.

The inn door opened and the cat Su-in suddenly came in.

He occasionally stopped by the inn to eat and leave, so his face looked familiar. His job was a letter deliveryman.

“Scar, here’s a letter.”

The cat Su-in took a piece of paper out of his bag and handed it to him.

“At this late hour?”

“I was going to give you a letter and take a nap before I go.”

“Who is it from? I don’t think anyone would write to me?”

“Darmong sent it.”

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes widened.

About two and a half months had passed since Darman left.

“Hurry up and give it to me!”

Jung Yu-shin snatched the letter like a hawk catching a mouse.

The cat Su-in shook his hand and frowned.

“Where’s the room?”

“The fourth from the right on the second floor.”

“Here’s the accommodation fee.”

Jung Yu-shin shook his head.

“The accommodation fee is free. You only pay when you eat breakfast.”

“Understood.”

The cat Su-in went up to the second floor, wagging his tail.

Jung Yu-shin took a deep breath and carefully opened the letter.

Darmon was asking after his well-being in simple words.

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes widened as he quietly read the letter.

“What?!”

The shocking content.

The hand holding the letter trembled.

He racked his brain to organize the contents of the letter.

Darmon’s wife had not committed adultery.

She had simply lied because she wanted to see Darmon. And it said that his wife was really pregnant.

‘Go and ask if she was pregnant.’

There was also talk of staying until the new baby was born.

There was also talk of leaving the inn to someone else if it was difficult.

At the end of the letter, there was a phrase expressing Darmon’s deep gratitude and concern, and wishing for her happiness and peace.

Jung Yu-shin stared at the letter for a long time, then folded it neatly and put it in his arms.

Suddenly, Aldain’s words came to mind.

‘If you lose one, you gain one.’

The party was disbanded. It was okay to think of it as losing one.

I heard about my friend’s well-being. I gained one.

‘Isn’t the world always full of bitter things?’

Jung Yu-shin took out a pen and paper from the counter and began to write a reply.

He stuttered and wrote out loud because he was still not very educated.

“Darmon... ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ I’m doing well. And congratulations on your wife’s pregnancy···.”

A small smile appeared on Jung Yu-shin's face as he wrote the letter.

In the dark inn hall.

Only one small light remained, illuminating Jung Yu-shin's bedside.

It was summer.
