How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 46: Looking for a chef

A week passed.

A quiet morning in the inn.

Jung Yu-shin was sitting at the counter with his chin resting on his hand.

“Ugh, ugh!!! How can food be this bad?! Owner, come out!”

Rabbit Su-in raised his voice and grumbled.

Jung Yu-shin got up from his seat and approached Rabbit Su-in.

“Is it really that bad?”

“It’s complete trash!”

“I agree.”

Jung Yu-shin nodded.

The food Tarman made was not even delicious in vain.

“Where did Darmon go?”

Rabbit Su-in asked.

“I had some business back home, so I left.”

“Tsk.”

Rabbit Su-in clicked his tongue and got up from his seat.

Jung Yu-shin watched the back of Su-in as he quickly left and went into the kitchen.

“Tarman.”

“Yes. Ska-nim.”

“You’re good at cooking?”

Tarman scratched his head. His shaved head was drenched in sweat.

“My friends said it was delicious.”

“I just got slapped by a customer. He said it was really bad.”

“Are you...really?”

“That’s a lie.”

“...”

“Tarman.”

“Yes.”

“I guess our relationship ends here.”

Tarman’s eyes widened like a rabbit’s.

“Huh?!”

“That’s a lie.”

“Ugh.”

Tarman clutched his heart and staggered.

“I have to pick someone. Someone who’s good at cooking. Go to the monster dismantling center and bring me a stray nose.”

“···Did you know?”

“You’re Aldain’s contact? Everyone in this town knows. While you’re at it, find out how Silva is doing.”

“Understood.”

Tarman took off his apron and left the inn.

Jung Yu-shin closed the shop and sat down at the counter.

He crossed his arms and thought deeply.

He looked at Aldain’s words and actions and the eastern section of the labyrinth city. He could guess that there were worse guys than the slave hunters lurking somewhere.

The problem was that he couldn’t be sure whether they were paying attention to him or not.

It could be his excessive self-consciousness.

But it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared. Besides, the remaining slave hunters could have come disguised as cooks.

This is where Aldain’s help was needed.

He needed a sieve to filter out the trash.

There’s a saying that like-minded people talk.

It was obvious that the underworld would recognize the underworld.

Jung Yu-shin waited quietly.

A few hours later.

Tarman and Deulchangko came into the inn.

“Ska-nim.”

“Yes. Is everything okay?”

“Yes.”

“I’m trying to hire some people, so help me out.”

“Okay.”

Deulchangko bowed his head and answered immediately.

Jung Yu-shin turned his head and looked at Tarman.

“Once the chef is chosen, you serve. The food tastes so bad.”

“Yes.”

Tarman answered in a sullen voice.

He put up a recruitment notice for a chef the size of a door in front of the inn.

Deulchangko ghostwrote Jung Yu-shin’s conditions. He’s a smart guy. You could say he’s a talent that’s becoming increasingly desirable.

“I hope you don’t have high expectations.”

Deulchangko said.

“Why?”

“Isn’t Ska Barbaro? I think he might be able to find a female cook.”

“···Let’s wait for now.”

One day. Two days. Three days.

The inn was empty. No one came to help. On the fourth day, Jeong Yu-shin got up from the counter chair.

“Tarman.”

“Yes.”

“You don’t seem worried at all. Can’t you see that the inn’s fate is as precarious as a candle in the wind?”

“...”

“Go out. Go out and shout. I’m looking for a cook.”

“Yes.”

As Tarman began to stagger toward the inn door, the door opened.

Clang!!

“I heard you’re looking for a cook.”

A small fox with yellow fur stood at the entrance of the inn and shouted proudly.

Jeong Yu-shin narrowed his eyes and looked down at the fox. Then he looked at the snub nose.

“Is this right?”

“I think you should have an interview first.”

Jung Yu-shin nodded and pointed to the seat opposite his.

“Sit here.”

“Hyuu.”

The short fox Suin ran to the table and struggled to get onto the chair.

Jung Yu-shin watched her and picked up the fox Suin and sat her on the chair.

“Thank you.”

“Yeah. Do you know how to cook?”

“Of course.”

“How can you cook when you’re a little short?”

“I have summoning magic.”

The fox Suin stuck out her flat chest and raised her chin.

“What do you mean summoning? Cooking? Or a servant?”

“A servant.”

The conversation didn’t continue.

“So you’re saying that you’re going to summon the summoned beast you have and cook it?”

“That’s it.”

“Summon it once.”

“Watch it carefully. Haap!”

The fox Suin clasped her small hands together and spread them out toward the table.

A flash of light appeared and something appeared on the table.

Jung Yushin’s eyes widened.

‘What is this?!’

Three small, colorful slimes appeared on the table.

“What...what is this?”

Jung Yushin barely managed to gather his wheezing mind and asked.

The fox Suin pointed to the red slime crawling on the table.

“This guy is Naelum. Isn’t he cute?”

“...”

“This blue guy is Mongmong. What do you think?”

“This green kid is Jjupjjup. Hehe.”

Jung Yushin blankly looked down at the slimes.

He couldn’t stand to see them crawling on the table.

“So you’re going to cook with these guys?”

“I can do it!”

It seemed like there was more to show.

Fox Suin closed her eyes and muttered something.

“Haap! Transform!”

The slimes squirmed in time with Fox Suin’s chant and each transformed into a different shape.

They transformed into a bear Suin, an elf, and a strange lump.

Jung Yu-shin pointed to the shapeless lump of slime.

“What is this?”

“It’s a dragon.”

Dragons really existed. This is a fantasy world after all.

That aside.

Jung Yu-shin spread his palm and wiped his face.

How should I say it so that she’ll reject him nicely?

He was worried.

Jung Yu-shin looked down at Fox Suin and slowly opened his mouth.

“That... is a great talent, but your work ability is not related to the duties of this inn...”

Jeong Yu-shin stopped talking and looked at the fox Su-in.

“Uuuuu. You don’t know what you are.”

The fox Su-in’s large eyes were filled with round tears.

The gazes of Tarman and Deulchanko, who were staring at her from the side, were stinging.

Jeong Yu-shin let out a sigh.

“Come to the inn sometimes and do a show.”

“I’m hungry!”

‘I’m going to die.’

It was harder to endure the little fox Su-in’s whining than to fight and exchange swords.

At that moment, Deulchanko smiled happily and took out a coin from his pocket and handed it to her.

“You can buy something delicious with this.”

The fox Su-in’s eyes sparkled at the fairy tale Deulchanko gave her.

“Wow! Thank you, gentlemen.”

The fox Suin politely bowed and ran out of the inn.

The three men sitting at the table linked arms and looked at each other.

“Doesn’t that kid know what Barbaroi is? He’s fearless.”

Jeong Yu-shin grumbled as if it was ridiculous.

Snapped nose smiled bitterly.

“It’s interesting. Still, it’s not a bad start.”

“I wish I could be like that.”

Jeong Yu-shin said while looking at the inn entrance.

After a while.

“Are you that Barbaroi?”

‘What’s this old man?’

A dwarf with white hair sat down in front of the table and stared at Jeong Yu-shin.

“Sir, please tell me clearly what kind of Barbaroi I am.”

“You’re that rape"

“Isn’t this the good Barbaro?”

“I’m that guy. The only man standing upright in the labyrinth city.”

“I’ve never seen a guy like this before.”

The old dwarf muttered blankly.

“Old man, are you here to apply for the chef position?”

“No?”

The dwarf sat blankly and looked up at Jeong Yu-shin.

Jeong Yu-shin sighed deeply, looking at the ceiling.

“Whew, go away. You failed. Next time.”

“What a strange guy. Let’s meet often.”

The old dwarf got down from the chair and walked out of the inn.

The next applicant sat down on the chair.

He was wearing a crow’s ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ beak mask, a robe, and a suspicious bag.

“Cook...are you here to apply?”

“···Buy this.”

The crow beak mask took something out of his bag and placed it on the table.

The voice was murky, making it hard to tell if it was a man or a woman.

“What is this?”

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

On the table was a glass bottle the size of a fist. Inside it, a pink potion was sloshing.

“It’s a happiness potion.”

“Isn’t it a drug? Get out.”

Jeong Yu-shin growled.

“It’s an aphrodisiac. It makes women crazy.”

“It’s the same. Get out.”

The crow beak mask clicked his tongue, put the glass bottle back in his bag, and stood up.

“This medicine is expensive. Don’t discount it next time.”

“Failed. Next time.”

The beak mask left the inn and the next applicant sat down across from him at the table,

A hyena man with yellow fur. There was a long knife wound on one eye.

‘Hoo.’

He smelled like a craftsman.

It was the scent of a single-minded person who had only walked a single path alone.

“Do you cook?”

Jung Yu-shin asked the hyena man with anticipation.

“That’s not necessary.”

Jung Yu-shin frowned at the hyena man’s words.

‘What are you doing...’

He was slowly reaching the limit of his patience.

The cook he had called didn’t come and only strange guys were showing up.

“Are you that guy? The guy who suddenly showed up in the eastern district and slaughtered slave hunters?”

Jung Yu-shin turned his head and looked at Dulchanggo.

Dulchanggo nodded.

Are you guys from the underworld?

“It’s me.”

Jung Yu-shin answered.

A look of triumph appeared on Hyena Su-in’s face.

“You really are the guy who killed 31 people in one night? For Barbaro, you seem quite weak.”

“Are you judging by appearances? You have to try to see if it’s long or short.”

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

A sudden silence enveloped the inn.

‘Did I say something wrong?’

What?

Jung Yu-shin turned his head here and there to look at the people.

Several of the applicants packed their bags and ran out of the inn in a hurry.

Hyena Su-in’s face turned slightly red.

“No... no way? Are you asking me to face ‘that’?”

Shit.

“No.”

“I... really. Anyway, I have a proposal.”

“Tell me.”

“Come join our clan. I promise to treat you well.”

“Hoo.”

Jung Yu-shin leaned back on his chair and glared at Hyena Su-in.

I don’t know what a clan means, but I decided to understand it as a group in the underworld.

“Will you hire me?”

“Yeah. It’s a little different, but it’s a similar story.”

Jung Yu-shin looked into Hyena Su-in’s eyes.

Hyena Su-in’s body flinched.

‘What...eyes?’

His spine tingled as he saw the strangely flickering eyes.

Jung Yu-shin slowly got up from his seat. He was holding a longsword in his hand.

“No movement.”

Everyone who was about to leave the inn stopped.

Jung Yu-shin slung his sword over his shoulder and stood at the entrance of the inn.

Clang!!!

Boom!!!

Jung Yu-shin locked the inn door.

He turned around and looked at everyone.

“Are there any guys from the Eastern District among the people here?”

Some flinched. Some remained silent.

“Did you hear everything? Rumors spread so quickly.”

Jung Yu-shin ran his hand through his black hair.

“Let’s make it clear. I didn’t kill those guys for my glory or a high ransom.”

A few people snorted.

Jung Yu-shin ignored them and continued.

“Those guys crossed the line. Explorers can fight and kill each other. This is a labyrinth city. I understand. But gouge out the eyes of a child who doesn’t know anything, rip open their mouths, and kill them? And show me that? You should beg me to kill you instead. You filthy bastards.”

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes sparkled.

The silence in the inn grew even heavier.

“I don’t know what kind of bastards you are, but if you do something like that and walk around in broad daylight···.”

“Ska-nim, there are no such guys here.”

Dulchangko stood up and stopped Jung Yu-shin.

“Hoo.”

Jung Yu-shin sighed and touched his eyes. He suppressed his rising murderous intent.

Boom!!!

Squeak!!!

He opened the inn door.

“Except for those who are truly applying to be chefs, get out.”

Most of them got up and left the inn.

Among those leaving, there were a few who glared at Jung Yu-shin, and some who nodded as if they understood something. Some were too scared to make eye contact.

“Tsk. It’s gone.”

Jung Yu-shin returned to his seat.

Hyena Su-in did not leave and was still sitting in his seat.

“Go.”

Despite Jung Yu-shin’s order to evade his orders, Hyena Su-in did not move at all.

“You must have come to the Labyrinth City because you want something. No one is without desire. Tell me what you want. I will do my best to grant it.”

At Hyena Suin’s words, Dulchangko’s body froze. It was a bold saliva that would have made Aldain stand up immediately if he had heard it.

“What I want.”

Jung Yushin crossed his arms and turned his gaze to the entrance of the inn.

“Yes. Tell me. What do you want?”

Jung Yushin remained silent despite Suin’s urging.

How much time had passed?

Jung Yushin blurted out to Suin, who was about to speak again.

“None of your business. Get lost.”

“Huh.”

Hyena Suin sighed and glanced at Dulchangko.

“I see. You missed the first mover.”

Hyena Suin got up and left the inn.

Three men were left in the empty inn again.

“It’s really hard to find one person.”

“It’s not easy.”

The snail nodded and agreed.

Before he knew it, evening was approaching. The streets were getting dark.

“Should we call it a day?”

Just as Jung Yu-shin was about to get up, someone was standing at the entrance of the inn.

A red-haired girl.

The rear guard of Karl Party.

It was Anne.

Tarman’s body stiffened.

Anne walked briskly and stood across from Jung Yu-shin.

“Anne?”

Anne bowed deeply.

“Thank you, Ska, for saving Tarman.”

Anne used honorifics.

You knew everything.

“Yes. Didn’t Tarman tell you?”

“I asked around because he hadn’t come to the inn for a week. He left money in front of the door and disappeared. I didn’t know what had happened, so I quit my job···.”

Tears welled up in Anne’s eyes.

Jung Yu-shin and Deul-chang-ko linked arms and looked at Tarman.

“Ugh... Ugh.”

Tarman turned his head awkwardly and coughed.

“It seems like you have a lot to talk about, so go inside the kitchen and do it.”

“Thank you.”

Anne sniffed and glared at Tarman.

“Tarman, follow me.”

Anne dragged Tarman into the kitchen.

There was a sound of crying and a drum being blasted inside the kitchen, and there was also a sound of something breaking.

Jung Yu-shin and Deul-chang-ko linked arms and stared at the poor ceiling.

After a while.

Tarman, with a big bruise on his eye, walked out, shivering.

Anne smiled, feeling relieved.

Hmm.

“Anne, do you cook?”

Anne’s eyes widened at Jeong Yu-shin’s question.

“Yes?”

“We need someone to cook at our inn. Salary, I’ll give you plenty. How about it?”

Tears welled up in Anne’s eyes again.

“Thank you.”

“Yes, it seems you have separate accommodations, so I’ll go back today and see you tomorrow morning.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Anne repeatedly bowed to express her gratitude.

Jung Yu-shin just nodded and looked at Tarman.

“That’s good.”

“···Yes.”

Tarman said in a hoarse voice.

Anne grabbed Tarman by the collar and dragged him out of the inn.

Jung Yu-shin got up from his seat, searched through the cupboard behind the counter, took out a bottle of wine and two glasses, and brought them to the table.

Jung Yu-shin placed the glasses in front of Ddalchangko and poured him a drink by tilting the bottle.

Slurp.

“Ddalchangko, you worked hard.”

Ddalchangko smiled faintly at Jung Yu-shin’s compliment.

“I’m glad you hired a cook.”

Dalchangko said, lifting his glass.

Jeong Yu-shin smiled and poured himself a glass.

“First, I’ll have to see how good your cooking skills are. If not, I’ll have to think about it later.”

Jeong Yu-shin said, lifting his glass.

“I think I’ve said this many times, but it’s really hard to find one person.”

“I agree.”

Cheong!

Two men clinked their glasses in an empty inn on a summer evening, laughing.
