How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 41: Shadow of the Labyrinth City

Jung Yu-shin returned to the inn and immediately confronted Darmon.

“What?!”

Darmon shouted in shock.

“I’m not sure.”

“The law that governs the lower levels of the labyrinth, ‘darkness,’ drives people crazy. Didn’t you see that happen to the boy named Dean from the Kaal Party that we first met? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Jung Yu-shin scratched his head at Darmon’s serious voice.

“I didn’t know it was that important. I thought Karin was mistaken since he wasn’t crazy.”

“Huh.”

“Don’t worry too much. It seems that Ashur went to the Magic Tower to find out about my condition.”

“I understand. Ashur is a long-lived person who has held the position of Sword Master for a long time. He is one of the sharpest people in the city, so he must have judged your condition clearly. Do as he says.”

“Yes.”

There was no great anxiety in Darmon’s worried eyes.

It was because the pocket Karin gave him contained 5 gold coins and 50 silver coins.

In addition, there were 26 silver coins that he had saved up.

In total, he had accumulated a huge sum of 5 gold coins and 76 silver coins.

He spent 1 gold coin to buy a seal suppression ring.

He spent 30 silver coins to register for the swordsmanship guild, but he still had 4 gold coins and 46 silver coins left.

Of course, he had to pay the inn rent, food, and orphan academy tuition, but it wasn't much.

Since Ashur had told him not to enter the labyrinth for the time being, he planned to properly prepare himself, train at the swordsmanship guild, and learn at the temple.

Even though madness was lurking in his head, Jeong Yu-shin's mind was at peace.

It was because he had plenty of money and like-minded people around him.

I got a shitty seal, but I also got a pretty good seal and leveled up.

If I think about it carefully, it wasn't such a bad labyrinth city life.

It was when I was thinking that.

Crunch!!

The cat Suin opened the inn door and came in.

"Darmong! A letter has arrived."

The cat Suin took out a rolled up piece of parchment from her bag and handed it to Darmong.

Darmong got up and took the letter.

"Who did it come from?"

"From your wife."

Jeong Yushin's eyes widened.

"You had a wife?!"

"Yeah. You have a daughter too."

"Huh."

You were married.

And you had a daughter too.

If I get the chance, I'd like to see your face.

Darmong smiled and opened the seal.

Darmong's mouth fell open as he read the letter with a smile.

His lips trembled and his eyes widened.

His hands trembled like an aspen tree, and the letter fell to the floor with a thud.

“What... is that?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh... your wife is pregnant.”

“You’re having a second child? That’s great news. Congratulations.”

“What the hell are you talking about!! I was here the whole time!!”

Darmon shouted.

???

‘Affair.’

A word flashed through his mind.

Jeong Yu-shin stared blankly at Darmon.

Darmon seemed anxious and moved around, then suddenly dashed into the kitchen.

Boom!!

Crackle!!

The sound of kitchen utensils flying and breaking could be heard.

Darmon returned in less than a minute.

Darmon was holding a 2m iron bar in his hand.

It was just the right length for her height.

Clang!!

The inn door opened.

“Darmong, I’m here.”

Karin came in.

“I’m sorry, Karin. I don’t have time to talk for long right now.”

Darmon said with an urgent expression.

A question appeared on Karin’s face.

“Why?”

“My wife... huh!”

Darmon stopped talking and distorted his face.

“My wife what?”

Karin asked.

“She had an affair.”

Jung Yu-shin answered instead.

“Bam!”

Darmon bowed down as if spitting blood and shivered.

“Really? Are you going back to your hometown? Then what about the inn?”

Darmon looked at Jung Yu-shin while clutching his hair in frustration.

“Scar, is it okay if I leave it to you? I don’t mind if it’s a deficit, but don’t burn it.”

“Yes, leave it to me. I will definitely keep it. And if there’s anything I need to discuss or if I have any questions while running the inn, I will send you a letter.”

“Understood. Karin-sama, I will go first.”

Darmon bowed his head to greet Karin and ran outside.

Whoosh!!!

“Gyaaaaak!!!”

“Whoa! Get out of here!”

The wind blew because he ran so fast, and the people’s gasps echoed through the streets.

Karin looked out of the inn and came back in.

“Hmm. Darmon’s village is far away. It would take about three months to go back and forth.”

Karin crossed her arms and said.

“Is it that far away? Is there a reason to raise a child so far away?”

“I heard that the Labyrinth City isn’t a very good place to raise a child.”

“It wasn’t just an ordinary city... huh?”

A city with Barbaroi, it’s definitely not good for education.

“There must be a lot of things in the city. Strange people.”

“What are you going to do, Karin?”

“Why? You confidently asked me to leave it to you a little while ago, but now you’re scared?”

Karin covered her mouth and laughed.

“Karin.”

Randolph opened the inn door and came in.

Jeong Yu-shin met Randolph’s eyes.

He was the man who had buried his head in the mud when he first transferred to another world.

“What?”

Karin crossed her arms and asked.

“Ingrid is calling.”

Karin’s expression hardened like stone at Randolph’s words.

“Your mother? Why?”

“I don’t know. She said it’s urgent, so she asked me to come right away.”

Karin frowned. Karin turned her head and glanced at Jung Yu-shin.

“I’ll be back. Stay still. Our tribe is closer than Darmon. It’ll probably take about two months. Silva, stay here and help Scar.”

The white-furred wolf named Silva quietly came in and bowed her head.

“Yes, I understand.”

Karin left the inn with Randolph.

Darmon left and Karin left too.

She was dumbfounded by the suddenness.

On the other hand, she was worried about the two.

But there was something she had to do.

She shook her head to get her wits about her.

‘Let’s do what we have to do first.’

Jung Yu-shin held out her hand to Silva.

“It’s really messy. Please take care of me first. This is Scar.”

“It’s Silva. Karin-sama has been talking to me a lot. Please take care of me.”

Silva smiled and held Jung Yu-shin’s hand.

Jung Yu-shin and Silva worked together to clean up the inn.

They picked up the dishes scattered in the kitchen and checked the food supplies in the warehouse.

Since Jung Yu-shin had no experience in running an inn, Silva took care of most of the work.

The way he calmly carried out his assigned tasks made him feel secure.

Even though we had only met for a short time, he was already attracted to Su-in.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the inn was deserted because the labyrinth had opened after a long time, and people had all left.

Jung Yu-shin took a break and sat on the counter chair and looked outside the inn.

He had tried to learn and train his body while resting instead of entering the labyrinth as Ashur had suggested, but the situation was not favorable.

Darmon asked him to keep the inn even if it meant going into the red, but his thoughts were different.

Darmon trusted him and left him in charge.

Even though he didn’t have time to ask anyone because it was urgent, he wanted to repay Darmon’s trust.

He thought that it was okay if training and learning were a little late.

Jeong Yu-shin got up from his seat. There was still a lot of work left to do.

In the evening.

Explorers who had returned from the labyrinth began to visit the inn one by one.

Silva mainly took care of the kitchen work, and Jeong Yu-shin served.

Silva’s cooking skills were truly amazing.

People who stopped by the inn only tilted their heads in confusion despite Darmon’s absence, and didn’t ask him anything.

The regulars joked around while watching Jeong Yu-shin carry the food. They were people who had become familiar with each other as they passed by.

“Is this the end of the world? Barbaroi is standing"

“Bing.”

“Huh. Barbaroi, did you put a poison in the food? Be honest.”

“Just eat. It wasn’t me who cooked it, it was Karin-nim’s subordinate.”

“Karin-nim? Aren’t you the daughter of the representative of the Suin Union? Where did Darmon go?”

“Yes, Darmon is out for a moment because of an urgent matter.”

Jeong Yu-shin said while wiping the table.

He couldn’t say that Darmon’s wife had an affair and had a child, so he just glossed over it.

“Is that so? It must have been quite an urgent matter. If the chef is Karin-nim’s subordinate, I can trust him. But be careful. My eyes are faster than your hands, so don’t do anything foolish.”

“Have a drink. Please increase the sales.”

“This is completely Darmon-wanting. Got it.”

People who saw the regulars chatting comfortably with Barbaroi felt relieved and ordered food and drinks.

Was it because they were curious rather than afraid?

Many customers asked various questions, but Jeong Yu-shin responded with common sense answers.

“···Are Barbaroi really a race that can’t move its legs when it sees a hole? That’s not true.”

“···Do they like rubbing their faces on the bellies of soft children? Our customers are really drunk. Please leave.”

“···How big is my penis? Why are you curious about that, you punk? You should just leave.”

As the night deepened, the drunk customers staggered out of the inn one by one.

It was a pretty clean finish for the first time.

Jeong Yu-shin sent the last customer away and helped Silva clean up the kitchen.

“Thank you, Ska.”

Silva said, wiping his face with a towel.

“No. Silva worked harder than you. Thank you.”

“I’m glad I could help. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Silva smiled and said hello to Jung Yu-shin before going upstairs.

An inn without Darmon.

Sitting alone in a quiet inn, a strange sense of loneliness came over me.

My mind was spinning, so I went outside for a short walk.

I walked slowly through the park and sat on an empty bench.

The early summer night breeze brushed my forehead.

As I sat quietly and admired the fountain.

A rustling sound was heard from behind the chair.

Jung Yu-shin’s head turned.

“Die!!”

A little boy jumped out of the bushes and swung a knife.

Thump!

Jung Yu-shin’s hand moved quickly. He grabbed the boy’s wrist and twisted it.

“Eww!!”

The boy’s face twisted as his wrist became immobile.

“Who are you?”

“Father’s revenge!! Barbaroi!!”

“Who is your father?”

“Ditto Piglick!”

He looked closely at his face and saw that it resembled Ditto. It was bitter.

“Your father tried to kill me. For money.”

He snatched the child’s dagger and examined it closely.

It had the symbol of a slave hunter engraved on it.

What the hell.

“Eeeeek!!”

He let go of his wrist because the child’s face looked miserable.

“Where did you get this?”

The child didn’t answer.

Jung Yu-shin reached out and grabbed the child’s collar.

“I asked where you got it!”

The child’s body froze as he shouted.

Jung Yu-shin glared at the child who didn’t open his mouth.

“Are your ears clogged? I’ll tell you again. Your father tried to kill me. The guys who gave me this dagger paid Ditto to kill me. You idiot. You’re trying to kill someone for a few pennies?!”

“What do you know?!”

The child glared at him viciously.

“Do you know what it feels like to starve without money? Don’t you know what it feels like to have your stomach stuck to your back!!”

The child continued.

“My father passed away and my mother collapsed. My siblings are crying because they’re hungry. What do you want me to do?!”

“So what you do is kill people? You loser. How much did you get?”

The child closed his mouth again.

Was he afraid of losing his money?

He asked again.

“How much did you get?”

“50 Dong-hwa.”

“Fuck.”

Jung Yu-shin let go of the child’s collar.

He was so small that he could cover his face with one hand.

He looked like the children from the orphanage.

He couldn’t kill him.

“Follow me.”

“Why me?”

“At least give me some bread.”

“Don’t make me laugh!! Do you think I’d be fooled by such words?!”

“If you don’t like it, don’t follow me.”

Jung Yu-shin turned around and walked toward the inn.

The child followed him from a distance.

How miserable must the situation be for him to follow his father’s enemy?

Jung Yu-shin bit his lips tightly.

‘You bastards.’

As soon as Darmon and Karin disappeared, the slave hunters immediately reached out.

Even so, it was the worst of the worst to send such a child.

Jung Yu-shin went into the inn.

The child didn’t follow him.

He went into the kitchen, found a leather pouch, filled it with bread, a bottle of wine, and cheese.

Something was missing.

He went up to the second floor, took out 20 silver coins, and put them in his pouch.

He went down to the first floor, opened the inn door, and the child was standing there.

“Take it.”

The child took the heavy bag and swayed.

“What...what is this?”

“I put some money [N O V E L I G H T] and food in it. Come back if you don’t have enough.”

“I won’t thank you.”

“Come back if you don’t have enough.”

Jeong Yu-shin repeated.

The child didn’t answer and turned around and ran.

“Whew.”

Jeong Yu-shin sighed and went upstairs.

He threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes, but he couldn’t sleep.

His stomach churned.

The dark shadows of the labyrinth city were slowly revealing themselves.
