Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 122

◈Episode 122 If I could leave (4)

“How do you say there are no inconveniences?”

Deathbringer felt burdened by having someone following him around and assisting him. It was even more burdensome because the person in charge of him was the priest’s direct assistant.

Even he was the only one enjoying this luxury. This is because Berserk left behind only absurd sentences such as ‘Warriors communicate with their bodies’ and Byeok Chang-ho is meditating in the building he was assigned to.

I didn’t want to be left in the room alone with the church member, so I came out to take a walk, look around, and get some precious poison… If I had known this would happen, I should have just not come out.

I am grateful for the careful consideration, but it really is a burden.

“I can go alone.”

“It’s not possible. Priest’s order. “You must supplement without lacking anything.”

If this had any intention other than help, it would have been more acceptable. For example, surveillance or management.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems like a throne created out of good will.

He finally decided to speak out. They say the people of the Great Forest are hostile to strangers, but why are you guys so soft?

“I was saved. To the Black Snake Warrior.”

“yes?”

“I wanted to return the favor. Everyone. But the warrior is gone. “You said you were helping the Bigabol tribe with their urgent work.”

But somehow, the story of someone I know seems to be coming out. Deathbringer’s expression became mysterious.

【The geographical requirement between Jatav and Bigabol has repeatedly hindered our relationship. Isn’t that right?】

Meanwhile, White Wind looked face to face with the chieftain of Serhang. Tea leaves, common in the Great Forest but more precious than gold outside the Great Forest, were brewing in front of her.

【However, in this Katina, there will be positive people in the exchange with the outside world. And if he becomes the warchief…】

【Our relationship will be completely connected.】

However, what was more precious than that were the words we spoke to.

【Of course, if he wants to become warchief, he will need some… help. There are many people in this forest who cannot give up the attitudes they have maintained for a long time.】

Although he is young, he is not bad. White Wind felt satisfied rather than offended by the words whose intentions were clearly visible. It was difficult to make a deal even if the other person was too stupid.

【If you do this, we will be like this…】

【Thank you for your words, but that is a bit…】

White Wind intensely discussed the future with Chief Serhang. I couldn’t miss the situation where I was targeting the magic-eating snake or the opportunity to make more deals with the Great Forest.

Since the Archmage and Demon Knight were doing well in the former anyway—it was a long way to get a report on the research results from the Magic Tower—there was nothing to worry about.

【I didn’t know I could communicate so well with the Magic Tower Lord. I hope an opportunity like this comes again in the future.】

【If you invite me, will you gladly accept it?】

I have another question. White Wind wondered why Serhang had become so tolerant of foreigners.

Although they were not inherently harsh towards outsiders, they were not this friendly or had a great desire for exchange. There is something.

【…Ah, that’s why.】

I can’t stand being curious. White Wind suddenly asked a question, saying it wasn’t something that needed consideration.

The chief’s face, which had been responding gently and calmly, briefly turned red like that of an ordinary boy.

【…A foreign warrior with two colors on his head has done a great favor to the tribe.】

He’s a demon knight. White Wind answered right away without any hesitation. As far as White Wind knew, there were only two people in the world who had two colors in their hair.

【Of course, I don’t want to pay you back the debt I couldn’t pay back to you. However…】

The boy quickly returned to the chief’s face. His face, which took a deep breath, soon regained its original color.

【It was only after seeing him that I realized that such a strong person could exist. And the fact that if he aims a weapon at this forest, we will be helplessly defeated. However, it may be different for people outside the country. Knowing this is the same as having time to prepare.】

Hmm. In fact, demon knights are so far outside the average that they are not the type of person that you can prepare for just by knowing, but… White Wind did not bother to mention that fact.

Wouldn’t it be beneficial to the Magic Tower anyway if they misunderstood the Demon Knight as an outside average and opened up exchanges with the outside world to prepare for him?

【Of course, change will change many things about us. There will come moments when it feels destructive. However, if you think about it, both the forest and the mountains we serve continue to change, albeit slowly. So, I will no longer be afraid and will try to adapt to the changes.】

【It’s about time that the warchief will change, right?】

【Yes.】

【Then, shall we send someone out?】

【Thank you for your words, but it’s okay. Because rapid changes cause backlash. Just like the Bigbol tribe. So, I… I want to change slowly, just like now. In the process, we are also going to select the things that must be kept.】

Is it their attitude that they will only welcome incoming customers little by little since having outsiders living in the village can cause inconvenience?

It was a very slow method, but it might have been better that way. It would be better to tame it several times than to see it hide in its shell again like a turtle because it is scared of unfamiliar things.

【Hmm. Thank you for your kind words.】

White Wind settled my doubts with that. Now there is just one last thing you need to know.

This is the personality of Chief Bigabol, whom the Boy Chief pushed and the Archmage had no choice but to help.

Regardless of the fact that he has a reformist tendency, depending on what policies he implements as the warchief, even if he opens exchanges, the situation could turn into a worse situation.

“Are you done with the conversation?”

“huh. “What did you find out?”

“…I heard a strange story.”

“huh?”

“There is a wizard from Bigabol who became a naturalized member of the Magic Tower. He said…”

And in White Wind’s opinion, Chief Bibol was not very good.

“We’re in trouble.”

No matter how perfect they seem, people who commit violence against their family or lovers cannot be trusted.

Cancer How much do those who raise their hands even towards the most precious relationship look down on others?

* * *

【You can use this place during your stay.】

【Huh. I don’t know if we can enjoy such a nice place.】 We

were invited as guests—it was more of a form of employment as we knew there would be a rebellion and we were promised compensation—but perhaps it was because we had made a great contribution to saving people.

The Archmage and I were treated luxuriously. He was assigned the best house next to the chief’s house.

【Not only did you punish the traitors who dared to threaten the Chief, but didn’t you help us get rid of the bad things they left behind?】

For your information, it’s not because of me that the Archmage is enjoying such luxury.

Due to the nature of an Archmage who handles magic, she showed her true value after being subdued. Things like destroying barriers, removing magic devices, and rebuilding parts of collapsed buildings.

【It must have been a hassle, but they even made plenty of temporary seals… Please don’t hesitate and use them to your heart’s content.】

Since all the priests participated in the rebellion, her value was even more precious. Help using magic was helpful, but she was the only one who could seal them as they were fellow wizards.

【Thank you so much for your consideration. But we are not in a position to stay that long. When will we be able to receive what we were promised?…】

Of course, even if the treatment is good, it has nothing to do with us. It’s definitely a good thing that the bed is comfortable and the food is served well, but isn’t that our position?

We happened to decide the future of a tribe—if the rebellion had succeeded, the person in power would have changed—but this was not our original purpose.

We are the people who came to meet Sangun.

They are people who have come to find out whether the being is a devil or not, and furthermore, to find out the principles of magic-eating creatures.

So, I wish they would show me a mountain range sooner rather than a luxurious treatment.

I don’t like it because I feel like if I stay here any longer, I’ll have to interfere with the selection of the warchief, whether it’s Katina or something. I hate political fights that are not clear fights between good and evil.

【sorry. I don’t think I can answer this part carelessly. Instead, I will tell it to the chief.】

【That is enough.】

【I will bring the answer with the meal. Please wait a moment.】

I glanced at the person who guided us here leaving and sat down against the wall. The two-hender on his back was roughly laid to the side.

“They say they’re bringing a meal. “I guess I’ll just have to wait a little bit.”

I wondered what they were talking about, but I guess it was about eating.

Well, I didn’t eat well while traveling, nor did I have time to eat when I got here. Even if it’s far from the usual meal time, I have to put something in my mouth.

“It looks like the group brought by the White Wind will be late. “Just like we did when we arrived, it is difficult for them to move quickly because Jatav is blocking the road.”

I checked my satiety and listened closely to what the Archmage said.

The manpower brought by White Wind was for investigation purposes and would not actually reduce my work, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.

“hmm? “I also gave you a warning.”

Then, the Archmage, who was checking his contact information, narrowed his brows slightly.

“What’s wrong with the Bigol tribe…?”

Thump thump.

A dull knock came from the door of the building I was staying in. The Archmage took his gaze away from his contact and cleared his throat.

【Large. It’s okay if you come in.】

The voice that comes out after clearing your throat gives the feeling that you have calmed down somewhere.

【I brought you dinner.】

However, her whispering stopped for a moment when she said that she had brought something to eat.

Soon wooden bowls containing food were transported one after another. No matter how many we thought about, there was not enough food for both of us.

【…This seems too excessive. I am grateful for the favor, but the amount is too much…】

No matter how much I do my best to treat my benefactor, is it okay to do this when a rebellion has broken out? The food warehouse is fine, so this is okay?

【There was an order from the Chief to never fail to treat his benefactors well.】

【Uhm….】

I was a bit embarrassed, but I swallowed my silence for now.

The Archmage will take care of it. ‘Putting it off to others’ was always a topic of despair in group assignments.

【Oh, I also brought you a reply to the question you asked. The chief said that Sangunnim is a being that all tribes commonly worship, and that it is difficult to get a chance to meet him face to face because it is Katina season. He said that he will try to keep his promise, but please understand that it will take time.】

But, Archmage is usually good at this kind of thing, right? Just as I take the lead in using my body.

So, wouldn’t it be okay? Of course, a good person should never do that.

【I can’t help it if that’s the case.】

【Thank you for your understanding.】

I absent-mindedly listened to the conversation and looked at the food. There was a lot of very sweet fruit and meat. It was hing.

【──!】

【──La!】

Anyway, the story seemed to have ended and the people left one by one. It was a bit surprising that he took a step back without looking behind him.

[It’s a little noisy outside. What’s going on?】

【It’s nothing special. They are just preparing to execute the leaders of the rebellion.】

【…I think I can hear a child’s voice.】

【Ah… That’s because if a rebellion occurs, all three members of the instigator’s family are subject to execution.】

Then . Can I eat it now? But the Archmage hasn’t sat down at the table yet.

Even if it is a concept that only attacks the elderly rather than respecting them, I want to make sure that the elderly eat first at the table.

【ah! If you want to take a look…】

【I absolutely refuse.】

In the meantime, is it true that the Archmage’s expression became dirty? It’s my first time seeing him make a face like that.

【…yes. However, if you change your mind, please let me know at any time. We will prepare a space for you.】

【Thank you for your kindness.】

There is nothing more scary than someone who is not usually angry becoming angry.

I crossed my arms and closed my eyes, hiding my intimidation. Come on. My stomach cried so that only I could hear it.

“I forgot this place is closed.”

Fortunately, the Archmage sat down in time. I naturally opened my eyes and squinted to see when I could pick up the spoon.

“Rebellion is a serious crime, but destroying the three clans was forbidden in ancient times…”

But what?

“…I heard that the rebel leaders and their families are being executed. Do you want to go see it?”

it’s crazy?!!?

“I knew so. “He’s not the person you’re going to see.”

As I unconsciously responded with an expression, the Archmage nodded to himself. I couldn’t come to my senses at the thought of destroying the three clans, but he just said ‘Ugh tsk’ and became calm again.

I alone am once again abandoned to this barbaric era.

“Oh, that’s right. There is no need to warn you, but be careful. I found out that Chief Bigabol was violent towards his family. He said his younger brother ran away to another tribe due to abuse. He may look gentle on the outside, but on the inside…”

But the terrible news did not end there.

If you inflict violence on your family or abuse your younger brother to the point where he runs away, doesn’t that mean you’re a domestic abuser and that I helped that bastard?

Murder is better! This is a worldview where you must kill or die! But domestic violence? Home prison history??

And in a world where there is no police or public authority to report it?

I’m going crazy. I’m really going crazy.

Plump.

At that moment, a polite knocking sound rang in my dazed mind. It was a light and cheerful sound that did not fit the ruined spirit.

“I came to ask again because I refused to watch the execution. Do you want to go see it? really?”

Then, without even asking for permission, the door flew open. Considering the other person’s rank, it was difficult to protest, but it was clearly a rude act.

“It wouldn’t hurt to take a look.”

The sound of a child crying came from behind at a frighteningly high pitch.
