9 – Episode 8: Dark Barbarian Bandits – 1

A new beginning is always full of excitement.

Anticipation of the unknown always leads humans to challenges and produces special results.

Human beings are very simple, so even if something bad happened yesterday, you can make up your mind that something good can happen tomorrow.

That’s why write good words, and try to live with only good thoughts.

Like the saying that words become seed, if you say shitty words, that shitty thing can actually happen.

***

It started quickly, as always.

The early bird catches the worm, and the early starter gets lucky.

When I woke up this morning, before I knew it, I was wearing a blanket made of fur.

Did I sleep with a blanket on me yesterday?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember anything like that, but since it wasn’t a big deal, I went around town with them and said goodbye.

“It’s a pity that the warriors are leaving right away like this. It’s okay to stay a little longer, but…”

“No, we have a mission we must accomplish. We will only be grateful for your heart for us. And since you brought so much food, can we accept it…”

Looking at the food piled up in the back of the wagon, I even felt burdened.

“no! If you don’t accept this, we will suffer from that guilt for the rest of our lives. Please accept it without hesitation.”

Kayaman said with a desperate expression.

I didn’t like it because it felt like cheating, but I couldn’t refuse it here.

“brother! Will you come again…?”

“Then I’ll come see Lina again.”

He stroked Lina’s hair. To be honest, I don’t know if I’ll ever come here again, but I kindly replied because I was regretting my departure.

If you get a chance, it wouldn’t hurt to come back again.

Of course, at that time, you should dress up and come confidently.

Rin was also having a friendly conversation with a boy.

Come to think of it, Rin seemed to like children.

Contrary to her appearance, she seemed to be giving good words to the children.

“Sister Lin! I will become a strong warrior like my sister!”

“Good attitude! If you always engrave the will of China in your heart, you will definitely be able to achieve it. Do you remember what I said?”

“yes! I give thanks today for the grace of the Great People’s Republic of China, right?”

“Yes, repeat it once a day…”

I hurriedly hit Rin’s head with strong honey balm.

“What the hell are you teaching me, bitch!”

Leaving behind Rin who retorted that she couldn’t understand my actions, I managed to get rid of the disturbing thought by saying that it was okay not to use such words to the kid.

I almost ruined someone else’s child.

I was really glad that it just dried.

Kyoko, who was especially popular with children, was already surrounded by many children.

“Goodbye unnie… You must come back…”

“Do you believe that these guys will come to see you again? stupid guys wwww”

“Sister… aren’t you coming back? uhm…”

“Teme, why are you crying? A boy cries wwww over just these things, stop crying ww”

“But my sister is not coming back…”

“This guy’s intelligence is very miserable wwww He said he wouldn’t come to see you, he didn’t say he wouldn’t come to this village wwww This is the level of a nomadic tribe wwww”

He still spoke like a bitch, but judging by how well he soothed the children, it was clear that he liked them on the inside.

So we said goodbye to everyone and climbed into the back of the carriage one by one.

Alright then, let’s go.”

Kayaman, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, gave us a signal to start in the back seat. Looking back, the villagers came out to the entrance to see us off.

I responded and waved my hand.

That’s how we said goodbye to the warm village we first met after arriving in this world.

***

“Asmodians… I will surely burn the roots of those evil beings and destroy them from the world. I will give the demons the mace of revenge in the way of a great nation.”

Lin’s eyes were full of anger.

In fact, the reason she is doing this comes from a conversation with Kayaman earlier.

Kayaman meticulously taught us about currency, countries, and tribes, who lacked basic knowledge about this world.

At first, he said it was strange and asked where he came from and why he didn’t know these things, but he answered in moderation, so he seemed a little confused but answered with sincerity.

“On this continent of Feltracia, various races such as humans, forest humans, sub-races, and demons live together. The most important thing to watch out for here is the demons. Asmodians are the most vicious race on this continent. For them, the size of power equals power, and they follow the rule of thumb in all decision-making.”

“okay. But why do you say that demons are vicious?”

“That’s because they unconditionally reject other races and call themselves the center of the Feltracian continent.”

Kayaman explained with a serious expression.

Beside me, who had been listening closely, suddenly began to hear heavy breathing.

I looked around to find something, and Rin was making an expression that seemed like she would kill someone right away.

“The center of the continent… How dare a race I have never heard of or seen claim to be the center of the continent…!”

Obviously, even though this place is not Earth, from the moment he heard that it was the center of the continent, Rin reacted strangely sensitively.

Well, it wasn’t that strange anymore.

“What do you mean by playing against a country?”

Kyoko looked curiously at Rin, who was overcome with evil.

Rin then began to respond.

“Kill the demons. Find the family and get rid of it. And the relatives… and the friends of the relatives… the relatives of the friends of the relatives… all of them will be destroyed. That is the way of a great nation.”

“Don’t do that! That’s too harsh!”

“Wow, that’s f*cking creepy…”

Seeing Rin talking casually, Kyoko and I trembled in fear. What should I do? If someone else said that, it would sound like a joke, but when Rin said it, it felt real.

I also don’t think Rin’s hostile attitude toward the demons is wrong in the situation where I have to win the head of the demon king, but I don’t think I want to annihilate the relatives of my friends’ friends.

Is that the way of a great nation…?

My head got dizzy.

…

As the wagon was speeding through the hot land, blowing a wind of yellow sand, Kayaman reported to me if he had found anything.

“Isn’t that person over there…?”

We looked straight ahead at the horse, and there was a woman lying on the ground.

It was near the end of the wilderness, so I wondered if it might be a human trap set by thieves to attract travelers.

However, it seemed that this was not the case because the surrounding area was an empty field without a single rock.

“I don’t think it’s a trap, but let’s go.”

I turned the carriage around for a while and headed towards the woman.

The woman continued to look for water, as if dehydration had come.

We moved her into the carriage and waited for her to come to her senses.

Fortunately, the woman seemed to come to her senses after a while.

But suddenly, a woman who came to her senses started clinging to me.

“Please save my husband and son!”

“What are you doing? Please tell me in detail.”

“The thieves… the thieves attacked…”

At my words, she started talking gibberish to us in a trembling voice.

It didn’t seem like a normal thing to even look at.

“My name is Raylen. My family runs a small shop in a village at the end of the wilderness… However, even during the original delivery period, the product did not arrive from the customer for over a week, so my family had to close the store for a day. I was on the way to close and go directly to the customer…”

“There is a demonic beast that appears every three years in this area, but it was still a safe day, so I was crossing this wilderness to go quickly…”

Raylen continued, still looking terrified.

“But… suddenly a gang of bandits appeared… I was so afraid that I couldn’t do anything… Even while my husband and child were being taken away, I…”

Raylen, whose body was shaking until her teeth clashed, was shaking so badly that she couldn’t even speak properly.

“Okay. Calm down. Let’s calm down and talk about it again.”

Rin patted the trembling Raylen on the back and spoke kindly.

“For the first time in my life, I knew that such a group of bandits existed… I never thought there would be a group of female bandits who were covered in black cloth and could stop a horse with that gigantic figure…”

Raylen’s words hardened my expression.

A group of gigantic female thieves clad in black cloth…?

It was a group of bandits that were somehow familiar.

No, no.

No matter how different the world may be, such a band of bandits could not exist.

No, the f*ck never should have existed.

“The thieves’ name must have been Dark Barbarians…”

“Ww, who can’t help but be a very vicious thief from his name, what the hell did he say and take my husband and son?”

“That’s… I’m not sure because it’s the first time I’ve heard of it, but I’m sure he said this.”

I couldn’t help but get goosebumps at what Raylen said after that.

“I will dedicate it to Unnya, so take care of the men and discard the women roughly, Piggy. I said.. but I don’t know what that means… well…

I broke out in a cold sweat.

No, the Dark Barbarians are a group of thieves who really exist…?

Mother f*ck instinct is telling me.

I don’t want to be involved in this any more.

“I’m sorry to say this, but we can’t help…”

“Don’t worry! These people will surely be able to save your husband and child!”

Kayaman and I overlapped.

Kayaman’s words, which were slightly louder, reached Raylen more quickly.

“Although these guys were defeated unfortunately, they have experience in fighting with that group of bandits. And most of all, they are the ones with the power to crush the demons that have ruled this area for 10 years!”

Kayaman got excited and started talking.

What the hell is that crazy hairless bastard doing? I was so taken aback that I couldn’t say anything.

“Is that so! please! Please, my husband and child… Of course I will pay for it. This is all I have now! That’s 3 gold! If you save my husband and child, I will give you more somehow, please!”

It was okay, but it was not okay.

He must have been thinking of buying me with money, but I wasn’t such an easy opponent.

“Oh my God, 3 gold… 1 gold alone is enough money to buy 5 horses..”

It was too much money to say the least.
