How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 28: Earthquake

Karin and Jung Yu-shin entered the inn through the yard.

The eyes of the explorers sitting in the inn gathered for a moment and then dispersed.

Perhaps because the labyrinth closure order was prolonged, the number of people gathering was increasing as each day passed. There were more faces I had never seen before.

Karin sat down at a table near the inn counter and pointed across from her with her finger.

“Sit here.”

“Yes.”

Jung Yu-shin sat down. After a while, Darmon brought breakfast.

The menu was simple sandwiches and onion soup.

But it was not simple.

Darmon’s special sandwich, made with finely chopped roast beef tied with string, mixed with cheese and sauce, and stuffed between sourdough bread to the limit.

Onion soup made by frying onions in a pan for a long time to perfectly caramelize them, adding meat broth, and boiling for a long time, and then topping it with cheese.

It was a perfect home-cooked meal that took time and effort. It wasn’t for nothing that people flocked there.

“It’s home cooking.”

“It tastes like the onion soup my mother used to make!”

“The innkeeper’s skills are getting better and better.”

People were eating the food in awe.

A peaceful breakfast.

Then something strange happened.

Drumroll.

The table shook.

For a moment, silence fell over the inn.

The eyes of the man and woman who were eating met.

Knock knock.

It wasn’t just the table that shook.

Knock knock knock.

The wooden pillars shook and the floor began to vibrate.

The entire inn began to shake.

“What..what is this!!”

“Master..Master!!”

People started to murmur. Some people quickly ran out of the inn.

Knock knock knock knock.

The vibrations were getting louder. People who got up from their seats staggered.

“Let’s... go out!!”

“Hide under the table!”

People who didn’t know what to do in the sudden earthquake.

Someone grabbed Jung Yu-shin’s arm.

It was Karin.

“Under the table.”

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes widened.

Jung Yu-shin’s body was sucked under the table by Karin’s fierce hands.

‘Stronger than me?’

He was more shocked by Karin’s strong arms than by the sudden earthquake. Karin’s body was pressed close to him, and her soft breasts were hitting Jung Yu-shin’s chest, but he couldn’t pay attention.

The earthquake got worse. Liquor bottles and plates fell to the floor and broke, and the wooden pillars and beams screamed terribly.

‘Isn’t this going to cause the inn to collapse?’

When his anxiety reached its peak.

The earthquake stopped.

The earthquake came and went suddenly. People were still sitting under the table, stunned.

“Darmong!”

Jeong Yu-shin was the first to crawl out of the table and approach the counter. Darmong was in the kitchen.

He was once a high-ranking explorer, so he wasn’t too worried, but he thought it was strange that there was no news.

“Scar, are you okay?”

Darmong, covered in ashes, came out of the kitchen.

Darmong’s entire body was scorched by the fire and his hair was stuck to it.

It seemed that he had been running around and putting out the fire even during the earthquake to prevent the kitchen fire from spreading.

Darmong sat down on the counter chair with an exhausted expression and said.

“Karin, are you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m okay.”

Karin, who had crawled out of the table, answered.

Only then did people crawl out of the table one by one.

“An earthquake? What is this?”

“This is something I’ve never experienced in my entire life..”

The people who came to their senses started to murmur among themselves.

Karin approached Darmon and handed him silver coins.

“Darmon, I’ll go first. I ate well.”

“Yes. Karin. Take care.”

“Just a moment.”

Jung Yu-shin grabbed Karin, who was about to leave in a hurry.

“Why?”

“Here. There’s soup on your clothes.”

Jung Yu-shin handed her a towel. Karin lowered her head and looked at her shirt. Her purple lace bra was clearly visible through the onion soup that had splattered on her wet shirt.

“It’s nothing.”

“Oh, then let’s just pretend it never happened.”

Thinking about it, she felt embarrassed.

Handing a towel soaked in sweat to the most beloved idol of the Suin Union was something only a shady pervert would do.

“No. That’s not it.”

Karin quickly snatched the towel away.

“I have to go somewhere urgently right now, so I’ll wipe it on the way. I’ll go. I’ll see you later.”

Karin quickly ran out of the inn with the towel.

People who saw that quickly left the inn one by one. The inn that had been full of people was now empty.

Jeong Yu-shin went out of the inn and stood near the entrance.

The streets were filled with people who had poured out due to the unknown earthquake.

The sudden earthquake didn’t just hit Darmon’s inn.

It shook the entire labyrinth city.

A scream of confusion and worry swept through the streets.

At that moment, someone shouted.

“It’s the Knights!”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on one place.

Soldiers wearing plate armor that shone like silver in the sunlight cut through the chaotic crowd.

“Calm down!”

A blond-haired, cheerful-looking man in his thirties shouted at the front. His voice was so loud that it resonated through the streets.

“Who is that man?”

Jung Yu-shin, standing at the entrance of the inn, asked Darmon, who was right next to him.

“Why? Do you feel any sense of pride? Arthur. He’s not a man you can approach.”

Jung Yu-shin looked down at his hands.

There was no one around him who was easygoing.

He spent each day training continuously, but it was still not enough and he had a long way to go.

‘There’s nothing easy in this world. This is a shit world after all. It’s not easy to eat raw.’

He swallowed his bitter taste.

When the streets became quiet, the blond-haired man in the front spoke.

“The city council has been convened. You will soon have an answer, so keep order and act calmly. Those who cause trouble during the chaos will be dealt with by the sword of the Knights. Those who have problems in their residences, pack your bags and move to the park. Over!”

As the blond man finished speaking, the soldiers standing behind him dispersed in an orderly manner and began to control the streets.

Darmon uncrossed his arms and entered the inn.

Jeong Yu-shin followed Darmon.

“I will help you.”

“Whew. Thank you.”

Darmon sighed as he looked at the messy inn.

He swept the broken dishes and bottles with a broom and wiped the floor with a mop.

The first floor restaurant was cleaned up fairly easily, but the problem was the warehouse and the kitchen.

All kinds of materials were mixed and clumped together in the warehouse and spread out on the floor.

In the kitchen, cooking utensils, food being cooked, plates, and glasses were broken and scattered all over the floor.

In Jung Yu-shin’s personal opinion, it was fortunate that there was no fire in the kitchen.

It was because Darmon was in charge of 10 braziers at the same time.

After finishing cleaning the restaurant, he helped Darmon organize the warehouse and kitchen.

The cleaning that started in the morning passed lunch and barely finished in the evening.

Jung Yu-shin sat on the steps at the entrance to the inn and watched the setting sun.

Evening.

The streets were controlled by the city guards centered around the Knights Templar.

As he was blankly looking at the streets, Darmon suddenly appeared behind him.

“I’ll buy some dinner ingredients and come back, so watch the inn.”

“I’ll buy them.”

Jung Yu-shin said as he got up from his seat. Darmon waved his hand to stop him.

“Ah. If Barbaroi were to go out alone in these chaotic times, he’d be arrested.”

Jung Yu-shin’s mouth opened slightly.

“Why?”

“Attempted rape.”

“Hey, no way.”

Seeing Darmon joking, he seemed to have regained some energy.

Could it be that an unprecedented disaster has occurred and he’s roaming around the city, attacking people?

It couldn’t be happening.

Jung Yu-shin turned his head as he thought that.

Then his eyes met with those of the guards.

Their cold, wary eyes.

‘Is it real?’

At the chilling gaze, Jung Yu-shin backed into the inn.

Darmon stroked his chin and opened his ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) mouth.

Judging from the hazy look in his eyes, he was reminiscing about the past.

“There was a big fire in the eastern district a few years ago.”

“Yes.”

“A considerable number of buildings began to burn. That’s when Barbaroi stepped in.”

Suddenly, a Barbaroi hero story?

Jeong Yu-shin listened to Darmon’s story.

No matter how evil a person was, they always had at least one good virtue.

“A considerable number of Barbaroi stepped in and rescued people.”

“Wow.”

“Everyone was rescued and there were no casualties. That’s what I heard. Let’s hear the details from others.”

“Wow. I guess there are no completely bad villains. It’s heartwarming to see such a story.”

“...”

“Darmon?”

Darmon was silent.

What is it?

An uneasy feeling rose up in his chest.

Ah.

No way? No way. No way.

“Everyone ‘for now’ was ‘rescued.’ That’s all I have to say. Let’s come back later and talk again.”

Darmon went out into the street.

“...”

Jeong Yu-shin staggered into the inn and sat on the counter chair.

He crossed his arms and looked at the inn entrance.

However, his mind was filled with crazy Barbarois.

Did he rescue them in order to commit a crime?

Did he commit a crime while he was rescued?

As he thought about it, his mind became confused.

“Where on earth are these guys hiding?”

Jeong Yu-shin sighed, clutching his head.

Two hours passed.

Darmon did not return.

What happened?

As he sat there thinking about this and that, people wearing plate armor came into the inn entrance.

They were knights.

“Master! Dinner for five. Hmm?”

The fox Suin stopped shouting and looked at Jeong Yu-shin.

“Master?”

“I went to buy dinner. “No business today.”

“Aren’t you Barbaroi?”

A female elf wearing plate armor stepped forward and spoke.

“Yes. I am Barbaroi.”

The elf muttered suspiciously.

“Is the owner suffering from dementia?”

“Okay. Let’s sit down and wait.”

The fox water spirit led the group to the table.

At that moment, someone else entered the inn.

I thought it was Darmon, but it wasn’t.

It was the blond man I saw this morning.

“Master!”

The knights suddenly got up from their seats. The blond man smiled brightly.

“Are you all here? You want to have a drink now that your shift is over?”

“Yes!”

“Yeah. I’ll join in.”

The blond man approached and stopped when he saw Jeong Yu-shin.

“The owner?”

“He went to buy dinner.”

The fox Suin answered. The blue-haired man scratched his head.

“Is that so? But you.”

The blond-haired man looked at Jung Yu-shin.

“Yes.”

“Isn’t that Barbaroi?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Is Darmon suffering from dementia? It’s like leaving the fish shop to a cat.”

Jung Yu-shin’s expression turned sour.

“I’m a good Barbaroi who doesn’t rape.”

The people laughed loudly at Jung Yu-shin’s words.

“Oh dear. Stop talking nonsense and bring me some alcohol.”

The blond-haired man chuckled and replied.

“We’re not open for business today.”

“You should hear what the owner has to say about that. Bring me some alcohol.”

Jung Yu-shin sighed and searched through the cupboard, taking out the few remaining bottles of alcohol and wooden bowls and giving them to the knight.

“What’s wrong with the glass?”

The fox grimaced.

It wasn’t a regular glass cup, but a wooden bowl used for soup.

“The earthquake broke all the glass.”

“I see.”

The blond man nodded.

“Barbaroi, pour me a refreshing glass.”

‘If you ask me to pour, I will.’

Resignedly, he poured the bowl full of liquor.

He poured it all, maintaining perfect balance, not overflowing.

He emptied the entire bottle, filling six wooden bowls.

“Here. Drink. Refreshing.”

“That’s too much.”

The female elf furrowed her brow and muttered.

“That’s right. You drink that.”

The blond man smiled and said.

“Yes.”

Let’s see how far he goes.

Jung Yu-shin looked at the blond man with the bowl in his hand.

For some reason, a sense of pride welled up in him.

He grabbed the bowl and drank it all down.

He drank it all down without stopping.

His esophagus and stomach felt like they were on fire, but he didn’t show it and put the empty bowl down on the table.

“Ugh.”

“You’re doing all sorts of things.”

The fox Su-in muttered with a dumbfounded expression at Jung Yu-shin’s loud burp.

“Let’s drink too. When will we come out and drink like this?”

“Chief, we’re working tomorrow too.”

“Don’t worry. The earthquake will be over soon.”

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes flashed for a moment at the blond man’s words.

Is that so?

“I’m going back to my seat now.”

Jung Yu-shin turned around.

“Scar, stop.”

The blond man said.

Jung Yu-shin’s body stiffened.

‘You know my name?’

Jung Yu-shin turned around again and looked at the blond man.

The fact that the Knight Commander of the Labyrinth City knew his name made his neck shiver.

So he took a closer look. As he looked, he saw a face he had seen somewhere before.

“My brother talked about you.”

“Mi-on?”

The Knight Commander nodded.

“I’m Mi-on’s older brother. Since I came out of the inner city, I came to see your face. Your face.”

“I see.”

“You’re quite halved.”

“I...I see.”

Jung Yu-shin took a slight step back.

‘You were gay?’

“But you’re not worthy of being my brother. You’re nowhere near Mi-on’s personality, ability, and appearance.”

‘What? You were just an ordinary lover of a younger sister.’

“That’s not my relationship with Teacher Mi-on. I have no intention of dating you. Don’t worry.”

Jung Yu-shin smiled and waved his hand.

The veins on the Knight Commander’s forehead stood out.

“What? What is my sister Mion lacking? Barbaroi, come and sit here.”

Jung Yu-shin sighed inwardly and sat down next to the Knight Commander.

“Here we go again.”

The fox Su-in sighed, holding her head.

The Knight Commander’s younger sister’s praise continued for a full two hours.

“···Mion was kind and cute since she was little. Whenever she saw me, she would run to me and say, ‘Oppa!’ and hug me. Now she’s being sarcastic and irritating, but she’s still innocent and cute.”

The Knight Commander’s eyes became hazy.

“When Mion peed on the blanket in the past, I washed it myself. The maids tried to stop her, but I washed it anyway. Those were really nostalgic times. The panties Mion wore back then are still in my room drawer. “It’s a precious memory.”

Jung Yu-shin crossed his arms and listened silently before coming to a conclusion.

‘A wicked younger sister lover. Confirmed.’

His pride subsided and only a pitiful feeling remained.

The knight commander kept talking about how ‘pure’ and noble Mion was.

Why does he keep emphasizing purity?

Jung Yu-shin was curious and asked.

“Doesn’t Mion have a boyfriend?”

The knight commander’s eyes burned.

“There hasn’t been one before and there won’t be one in the future. I will protect Mion.”

‘A wicked younger sister, virgin guardian. Confirmed.’

The knight commander’s praise for Mion continued after that.

How much time had passed?

The knights around him were talking among themselves as if they were used to seeing the commander like this.

Clang!

Jung Yu-shin’s head turned.

The inn door opened and Darmon appeared.

Finally.
