How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 76: Negotiation

Maya.

A disciple of Ahiman whom I met at the Karin party.

Why is this woman here?

Jung Yu-shin's eyes widened.

Maya approached Jung Yu-shin with a jerk. Her eyes were covered with dark circles, as if she hadn't slept well.

"Scar, please help me."

Maya brought up her business without even saying hello. She looked uneasy.

"What...?"

"The Master was kidnapped by slave hunters."

Damn.

Why are my ominous feelings always right?

"What happened?"

"I heard there was a rare magic material that was only sold in the eastern district, so I visited with the Master, but when I blinked for a moment... they. Sob."

Maya couldn't forget her words and shed tears. Her face was distorted with guilt.

"..."

Jung Yu-shin had no choice but to remain silent.

A complete slap in the face.

There was no way to avoid it anymore.

Jung Yu-shin patted Maya on the shoulder once and sat back down to look at Oswald.

“How did Maya know and come here?”

“Did you see the troll wizard during the performance? He’s Maya’s teacher and classmate. I heard we went to the same school.”

“Cough. That’s right. This is the only place I know in the eastern district...”

‘Sigh.’

Jung Yu-shin wiped his forehead.

I don’t know what’s going on.

How did such a small relationship become so entangled?

He held back a sigh that was about to burst out.

Ahiman, who had turned into a lizard, was kidnapped.

He gave his life in the labyrinth. He couldn’t ignore it.

And he couldn’t leave those noisy slave hunters alive.

“Oswald, tell me more.”

“I see. The incident started···.”

The story took about 30 minutes.

“···That’s the end.”

Oswald kept his mouth shut.

Jung Yu-shin looked at Oswald, resting his arms on the folding chair.

‘It’s really complicated.’

He tapped the chair handle and opened his mouth.

“To summarize, the assassins don’t have information about the labyrinth city. The Lionel merchants who want more money have information, but they don’t have any secret forces to transport slaves. So the slave hunters are intervening to mediate between the assassins and the merchants?”

“That’s roughly correct.”

“That’s strange. Aren’t these guys just rocks that rolled in from outside? Their people are being kidnapped, and the underworld is just leaving them alone?”

“Of course we made a deal. With the underworld.”

“You just said you care about the people in the eastern district?”

“There are some who aren’t. They’re the Arena guys.”

Jung Yu-shin patted his head.

Arena?

“Scar, don’t you know anything about the eastern district?”

“I don’t. I’m a child of light.”

“...”

An eerie silence passed over the tent.

Everyone stared at Jung Yu-shin’s face in silence.

Oswald came to his senses and coughed.

“Big! Anyway. This slave hunter association not only bought the Arena guys, but also kidnapped people on the streets. Of course, some of the Arena guys helped.”

“Then we should protest.”

“We protested and a few were released. The rest were ignored.”

“Are those Arena guys big?”

“Big. They can’t compare to us.”

“Are the other underworld clans just leaving the Arena guys alone?”

“On the surface, inter-clan conflict is prohibited within the Eastern District. Besides, the other clans aren’t really interested in this incident.”

On the surface, conflict is prohibited.

In other words, conflict is possible behind the scenes.

Jung Yu-shin sighed deeply.

“It’s complicated. Let’s sort it out.”

Jung Yu-shin patted his head and continued.

“The Arena guys are dealing with guys who came from outside. I want to interfere, but I can’t because of the conflict prohibition treaty. The other clans don’t care about me. Besides, the Shadow Clowns clan lacks the power to come out behind the scenes. Is that why you called me? To help me?”

“That’s right.”

“Aren’t there many people in the Labyrinth City who are better than me? Just hire them.”

“Among the people living in the underworld, the ones with the most sanity are reluctant to engage in such underhanded conflicts. It’s even worse when they’re fighting on the weak side. People living in other areas would probably applaud and rejoice, saying that the dirty guys are gone.”

Oswald continued.

“Besides, as I said before, you’re related to slave hunters. And.”

“Ha.”

Jung Yu-shin sighed, looking at the ceiling.

Oswald stopped talking and glanced at his snub nose.

Jung Yu-shin didn’t see Oswald’s glance because he was rubbing his eyes with his palm.

“No. Scar, let’s stop here.”

“Oswald, I’m a beginner explorer.”

“A wolf wearing sheep’s clothing doesn’t make him a sheep. That’s all.”

Jung Yu-shin regained his composure and thought for a while before nodding.

They are the ones who buy and sell people who have turned into monsters and animals. They are not like people.

Plus, there are slave hunters, so I couldn’t just sit by and watch.

Tragedy is prevented in advance. I needed to respond proactively. If I lose my mind, only the heavens know what /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ I’ll get myself into.

“Understood. There are a few conditions.”

Oswald’s face brightened.

“Really?! Tell me!”

“Oswald, let’s talk about what you can give me first.”

Still, I couldn’t be dragged around by Oswald’s will like a fool.

“What do you want?”

“First, 50 gold coins.”

Oswald’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out.

“What...?”

“It’s not over yet. Solve a few simple requests I can do in the city under my name. I have to go up to intermediate explorer.”

“...”

“There’s more. If you have good weapons, give them to me. Good steel is fine. Herbs, poisons, anything that seems rare, give them to me. And buy me some clothes that I can wear. In particular, prepare plenty of underwear. The Arachnes are so good at making clothes, right? Bring plenty of recovery potions. If possible, magic scrolls.”

Oswald’s eyes rolled back.

“···You crazy bastard!!! Damn greed! Don’t you have a human heart?! I told you! We live from hand to mouth!”

Oswald exploded in anger.

“Hey...so. You’re not going to do it?”

Jung Yu-shin asked, crossing his legs.

Oswald trembled.

“···Let’s do it for 30 gold coins.”

Jung Yu-shin’s head spun quickly.

I thought you were a big-hearted clown who readily gave me the high-grade magic stone.

‘That high-grade magic stone. Did the assassins give it to you?’

Since it was easy to get, it must have been easy to use.

Since it was a magic stone that wasn’t even properly confirmed where it was obtained, there was a possibility that it would get caught up in something strange and be used as a scapegoat while disposing of it in the city.

Conclusion.

Was it a quick fix?

‘Not an easy kid.’

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes sharpened.

“You’re trying to eat me raw. No. 50 gold coins.”

Oswald waved his hand as he watched Jung Yu-shin cut him off.

“Let’s live while making concessions. 30 coins.”

“50 coins. Is the price of a human life ridiculous?”

“We’ll all starve to death. Let’s do 30 coins. Sorry. I think I lost my mind in the labyrinth.”

“50 coins.”

“Ha...fuck.”

Oswald glared at Jung Yu-shin with a face that had lost all smiles.

Jung Yu-shin opened his mouth while leaning back on his chair leisurely.

“Look at your eyes. It’s annoying that you’re trying to avoid losses at all costs. I’m telling you to devote yourself. If you want to save it.”

“What kind of dog is 50 gold coins? Please just look at it once. 30 coins.”

“Whew. Okay. Let’s do 40 coins out of kindness.”

“30 coins! We’re all going to die!”

Jung Yu-shin observed Oswald’s expression.

He was the guy who played the lute and laughed happily in the labyrinth.

I thought he was a crazy underworld talent.

Now that I look at him.

‘He’s just a crazy miserable clown, right?’

I felt bad for him and didn’t want to negotiate any further.

“Okay. 30 coins. Send all the items I asked for to the Ttulchangko side.”

“Whew. Okay. Then let’s plan a plan.”

“Why should I do that?”

“What...?”

Oswald’s mouth dropped open at Jung Yu-shin’s words.

“You plan it. What help would I be?"

If you plan, you will be able to do it. This is the first time that you have lived! I'll review it. ” Oswald, who had lost his mind from the k-gapjil, slumped down on his seat and let out an empty laugh.

“Let’s go. Maya, are you going to stay here? Let’s go together.”

Jung Yu-shin said as he got up from his seat.

“Yes...yes.”

Maya answered stammeringly and followed Jung Yu-shin.

They left the tent and walked along the eastern street.

It was late at night, but the entertainment district was still crowded with people.

Maya asked as she walked.

“Scar, if Oswald had refused to negotiate, were you thinking of giving up?”

“No. Whether Oswald refused or accepted the negotiation, I was going to beat up those slave hunters. I was also going to save Ahiman.”

“I...I see.”

“Young lady, we’ve been treated a lot by that guy. Please understand.”

Gallaheim defended Jung Yushin.

“That’s right. Gallaheim, are you saying something right this time?”

“I always say the truth.”

Gallaheim’s nose grew longer.

“Scar, do you believe everything Oswald says?”

Dwarf Nose asked.

“No. I don’t believe him. Dwarf Nose, I have to check if Oswald’s words are credible. Please give me a hard time.”

“Yes.”

Jung Yushin and Maya passed the eastern checkpoint and returned to the inn.

On the way back to the inn.

I gave Gallaheim a strict warning and sent him back home, and sent Dwarf Nose to the monster dismantling center.

They entered the inn and sat at the counter.

“Lastly, Rin.”

The reason Maya was brought here.

It was because Maya had an animal communication imprint.

“Squeak squeak!”

Lin was still wearing his hat.

The shape of the hat was a top hat that only British gentlemen wore. He thought it was cute inside, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

“Lin, should we have an interview?”

“Squeak.”

Lin shrank.

“Maya, please help me.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Maya reached out and grabbed Lin’s front paw. She grabbed Jung Yu-shin’s wrist with her other hand.

A strange magic began to flow through Jung Yu-shin’s body. A calm and intelligent feeling. It was Maya’s magic.

“Lin, you little brat. How on earth did you get there?”

“Squeak squeak.”

“He said he was walking around the eastern street and saw some interesting people and followed them.”

“Oh, really.”

“Squeak squeak. Squeak squeak.”

“He said it was nice that the people with powdered faces gave him food and played with him.”

‘You did target practice?’

He was a really strong white rat.

“So. You did a good job now? Shouldn’t you show your face? You suddenly showed up today and made people sick? You want to get your butt kicked?!”

“Tick.”

Lin shyly turned around and stuck out her plump butt.

“...”

‘Ingrid, your servant horse is a bit strange.’

There was no normality in the labyrinth city.

Was he the only man with a clear mind?

Jeong Yu-shin sighed and snapped his fingers, hitting Lin’s butt.

“Tick!”

“Heek.”

He grabbed Lin’s neck, who was lying down, and lifted her up, putting her in his shirt pocket.

“Let’s do this. Maya, go up to the second floor and rest. You can use the sixth room from the left.”

“How about the accommodation fee?”

“It’s free.”

“···Thank you.”

Tears welled up in Maya’s eyes. Jung Yu-shin turned his head and pretended not to see her and went up to the second floor.

He came into the room, took off his sweaty shirt, and wiped his entire body with a wet towel. He changed his clothes and lay down on the bed.

Lin climbed onto Jung Yu-shin’s stomach and fell on his chest. He must have been quite tired because he closed his eyes right away.

Jung Yu-shin also closed his eyes.

“Tsk. I thought I could tear more.”

“Tsk?”

“No. Let’s go.”

Soon, only the quiet sound of breathing filled the dark room.
