Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 145

◈Episode 145: Everything goes as it should (5)

“It seems like you will die if you consume divine power.”

Since I stayed up all night, how many hours of sleep did I get?

The Archmage notified us of this fact when we woke up.

The main point was that the beast in question was the same as the Jahukaya of the Great Forest – only the species was different in that it consumed magical energy without demonic energy – and it could consume divine power, but it died in return.

“Because the number of Jahukaya was so small and it took time to move them to the magic tower, they only started the experiment two days ago… I guess all the ones that were fed divine power there died as well.”

Already, a few people died as a result of this experiment. I prayed for the peace of the wizards who must have been screaming.

Thanks to their sacrifice, we learned that this was not a new enemy and that divine power could not be neutralized. It was a relief.

“But that’s not the point. What’s really important is…”

“Where are these things born?”

“You are correct.”

“If you do that, you won’t be able to investigate the direction the animals are coming from. “They said they were coming from all directions.”

Meanwhile, Dev and Inquisitor exchanged opinions with the Archmage in turn. Berserker? He’s in his seat, but he’s dozing off.

“Big.”

“…It would have been better to let Berserk sleep longer.”

“Shall I take you to your room?”

No, I’m just sleeping. From the beginning of the conversation, he looked like he was having a hard time or that he didn’t understand, but eventually he gave up.

bang!

“Big—huh?”

“…?”

“Who…”

But the door of the restaurant we were in burst open. The door was opened as if someone had kicked it.

“What, I heard you’re staying here?”

The presence was approaching so quickly that I wondered if there was any news, but judging by their attitude, it seemed like it wasn’t.

But why is that guy kicking the door of our dorm? Judging by his appearance, he doesn’t seem to be from a cult?

There is no Magic Tower branch in this city, and he doesn’t look like a wizard, so he probably doesn’t belong there.

“You…”

“Didn’t I ask you to wait just a moment!”

“Oh my gosh, master!!”

Was he confused for a moment? As the Archmage was about to say something, new people burst in.

There were a few priests and staff—people dressed reminiscent of servants, considering their world view?

“hey.”

They grabbed the first intruder from both sides as if trying to arrest him. Some even tried to close the open door.

But the one who overcame it all stared at us with a crooked gaze.

“I heard a hero came here. Is it you?”

Aside from knowing information about us, he was wealthy and had the personality to dress appropriately.

“Oh my gosh, master!”

“sorry. We will resolve it as soon as possible, so please, if the representative can move on with a generous heart…”

“You guys go away. I asked you! “Are you a hero?”

Even though I was running in place, I stared at this person who looked like he was from a rich family.

The concept’s personality is probably better than his, so I don’t plan on saying anything…

“Are you dumb bastards? “Aren’t you going to answer?”

“young master!!”

“Stop it! I won’t tolerate anything more than this, even if you are the son of the Lord of the Castle!”

Who is he? With what gang? Do you do that in front of two big guys (Berserker and Archmage) who are almost 2m tall?

I don’t know exactly because I don’t have a tool to measure my height, but I’m also roughly around 190 cm.

It’s really not normal guts. If I were in his shoes, I would have been scared and said, ‘I opened the wrong door,’ then bowed 90 degrees and jumped out.

“Berserk is amazing! “Can a person be round like that?”

“Puhup.”

“okay. “I’m also amazed.”

“Inquisitor…”

In the meantime, the clueless Bercuser shook out the truth and the pure Inquisitor agreed.

I didn’t want to make fun of him for being obese, so I didn’t say anything more.

One of my friends once gained a lot of weight due to stress-related binge eating… Yeah. I can worry about you, but I don’t want to make fun of you. He had a hard time back then.

“What? “Stupid muscle mass…!”

“Please go, master!”

“Sorry Sorry.”

“Just leave now.”

Separately, if he does judo or wrestling, he will do well. Normally, when you gain weight like that, it’s hard to even exert strength on your body, but the strength he can endure is no joke.

“Let go! Because I’m going with my own feet! “Damn, I came through this hard for no reason.”

Of course, to do that, I have to first fix my personality.

“If I had known that there would be such a thing as a pale young woman and a dirty half-animal cub, I would have been a hero or something…”

“Young master!!”

But what did you just say? A pale young woman? What a beast? Dirty half-animal? Are you kidding me??

“…Are you now insulting God’s representative and his associates?”

“What would you do?”

“Master, please…!”

Even to me, this is a severe insult. So what do those who are familiar with this worldview think?

He was the son of the lord of the castle, and the members of the church who were trying to use a moderate method—perhaps?—turned bright red.

“How dare you, Archmage…!”

“Oh… half-animal. It’s a derogatory term I haven’t heard in a long time…”

“Hmm.”

Our group was similar.

The Inquisitor, who was always gentle unless it was related to demons, hardened his expression, and the two people who had been insulted by being called beasts turned cold.

“Can I kill that thing?”

Even Berserker, who was just yawning carefree, was like that. It wasn’t that he changed his complexion, but his speech became harsher.

“What’s with that muscle mass now!”

“Insulting God’s representative is the same as insulting God. I won’t treat you any more. “Take him away!”

“Wait a minute!”

“What! “You bastards!”

I don’t know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate.

The church moved first before the party could show their true worth. Together with Noseong, he began to exert his strength in earnest.

“Let it go! I will become the next great lord of the castle— Oh, it hurts! “Let go!!”

“Not only did you insult God, but you call yourself the next great lord of the castle even though there is a legitimate successor? “I will also convey the guilt of treason to the Lord of the castle!”

“I’m completely ruined….”

In other words, it could be said that he gave up on controlling his strength. Considering that he even brought out divine power.

I know this because I saw myself using my Inquisitor strength, but if I do that, I will 100% get bruised. In severe cases, bones may break.

“Let it go!”

“Take him and throw him in jail!”

I only felt pity for the servants who were desperately trying to stop him. I can’t do either of these and just stamp my feet.

“Don’t come forward. Berserk, you too, put down your halberd.”

“but! “The person who insulted the Archmage—.”

“Can you really kill me?”

“I don’t know if you are angry at your own insult, but there is no need for me, Inquisitor. Berserk, you can’t either. “There is no need to become a criminal by killing someone who is going to be arrested anyway.”

On the other hand, while the opponent was being dragged away, the Archmage sighed and pressed his temples.

“sorry. “Because of our negligence….”

To resolve the situation or apologize, the one remaining priest apologized with the intention of banging his head.

Since that remark is not their fault, they are probably apologizing for not being able to stop it from the beginning.

“It’s okay. “How could you have stopped the castle lord’s son from coming in?”

“No, it is our fault. I should have paid more attention as I knew he was like that…”

“Isn’t it enough to apologize? Rather, are you okay? You were also insulted, but I disposed of it arbitrarily…”

“Yes? iced coffee. It’s okay because I’m used to it. It wasn’t something that happened, but I was properly caught. “Are you okay with Master Nari?”

“…I’m fine too. “There were a lot more discriminators when I was young.”

“Oh…”

“These are all stupid things. “No matter what race, if you break their neck, they all die.”

I wonder if the two people’s remarks made me feel angry for no reason. Berserker’s words almost caused me to reflexively turn away.

Honestly, that’s right. If you break the neck, all living things, regardless of race, will die.

“Don’t get used to insults. The same goes for you Mangjong. “No one should be despised for what he is born with, nor should he become familiar with it.”

“…Are you saying that while ignoring the young woman’s voice?”

“It’s true that I’m young, and it’s true that I’m a woman, so why did you ignore me so bluntly?”

Even this side didn’t understand swearing as swearing… It’s funny, but I guess this is a winner.

“…I wish you didn’t understand. “If I shouldn’t be despised more than that, why did you treat me like a criminal before?”

“that…! I… I was quick to judge, but…! Still, isn’t there a difference between being treated like a thief because you act like a thief and being treated like a half-animal even though you were born as a Qureity!”

On the contrary, life may be easier for people who are not aware of these things.

While I was thinking that, the Inquisitor shouted.

“what the. Are you siding with me or criticizing me? “In the end, they thought you were a thief.”

Then Dev muttered a few words in an empty voice. It’s okay to just complain because it’s ridiculous. He didn’t seem upset.

The Archmage smiled happily.

“Oh, that’s right. Hey priest. “I heard that you are the son of the lord of the castle, but why did you come here?”

Dev, perhaps tickled by the now subtle atmosphere, changed the subject again. It was definitely something I had doubts about.

Why did he really come to visit us?

“Well. “I don’t know for sure, but…”

The priest was a little taken aback by Dev’s question.

However, he did not claim that he did not know until the end. Even though he said he apologized, it looks like he still feels guilty because of that.

I could see him trying to come up with an answer with all his might.

“Perhaps… he was trying to hasten the subjugation of the wild beast. “The Lord of Soseong’s wedding was postponed due to the rapid increase in wild beasts.”

However, the answer was a bit surprising.

Looking at the distinction between Soseongju and the second master, I think Soseongju is probably the first.

Even if he is a ruthless person, does he still care about his family? Is it strange? Didn’t you say earlier that you will be the next castle lord?

“I don’t know what to urge us to do, but since there is a hero, let’s just say we are asking for help. But what does it have to do with weddings?”

“Well… ha. The person whom the minor castle lord is marrying is the minor castle lord of Ednium.”

“yes?”

“…It’s a marriage between small town lords. That’s rare. Even if it was an arranged marriage, there would usually not be heirs.”

“Oh, it’s not an arranged marriage. “It is a love marriage.”

“Oh love marriage.”

“if?”

“…I think I thought that when Lord Xiaoseong got married, he would give up his position as successor and go to that city.”

Only then did I understand. Although this was an extremely optimistic view, it was not an entirely impossible number of cases.

“Are you stupid?”

“That’s ridiculous. “You believe you can become the lord of the castle by acting like that.”

“I don’t know what marriage has to do with giving up an heir.”

“That’s… an amazing judgment.”

Still, do you not think about the possibility that the other person will come?

“…It’s not just because of the wedding. “While the relationship between Lord Seong and Lord So Seong is estranged, the second master is favored by Lord Seong.”

“That one??”

Dev asked back reflexively. However, rather than taking it as rudeness, the priest nodded his head in agreement.

“We also have doubts. Lord Soseong is truly wise and wise, just like his mother, so why is Lord Seong… Oh, I’m sorry. “As a servant of God, you shouldn’t gossip.”

“it’s okay. Even God will forgive.”

No, this doesn’t even fall into the category of gossip. Of course, it’s not good to talk about other people’s family affairs carelessly… but still, to this extent? Isn’t this a warning level?

“I am indeed. Anyway, humans.”

“But this time, I will be properly punished. “If you commit this level of insult, you will be sent to a monastery, so even if the minor lord leaves for another city, he will not be promoted to the lord of the castle.”

While I was thinking about it, the Inquisitor chattered as if he was relieved. The feeling that I would never see that guy become the lord of the castle was seething under my voice.

The priest’s expression became subtle.

“I probably won’t go to the monastery.”

“yes?”

“Because he is the Lord of Seong’s favored child. “He will cover it up somehow.”

“…I am guilty of insulting my colleagues and no one else within the temple. “Are you saying you’re covering it up?”

“…Considering the record, it was obvious that the Lord of Seong or Lord of Small Seong would personally come to the temple, kneel down to apologize, and donate an amount in the millions. Since there are thousands of people I could help with that money, I turned a blind eye until now… but this time, I will completely follow the hero’s opinion. yes.”

The expressions of the Inquisitor and Dev crumpled at the same time. “Of course it was right to kill him.” The word flowing softly in the background belongs to Berserker.

* * *

“sorry.”

Unfortunately, the priest’s prediction was exactly correct.

In less than an hour, Lord Soseong visited with a huge amount of money.

“It’s my fault for not taking care of my younger brother properly. “Please be generous and merciful.”

She even got down on her knees. Even though it wasn’t his fault, he seemed to have no hesitation.

Maybe it’s because I’m just too used to this behavior rather than because I think my younger brother’s mistake is my fault.

“…Stand up.”

Hearing the Inquisitor’s words, Xiao Seongju stood up with a graceful gesture. Her black hair was so smooth that it seemed like silk.

“We never asked for an apology like this.”

“…sorry.”

“This is especially true of the apology from Lord So Seong, who had nothing to do with this matter.”

Hearing Kimchi Dumpling’s words, So Seong-ju closed his eyes tightly. The cherry blossom-like eyes were covered by both eyelids.

“I hope for an apology and appropriate punishment from the person who insulted my colleague.”

At the Inquisitor’s request, So Seong-ju opened his eyes again. It became a pain in the ass. That look appeared in his eyes for a moment and then subsided.

“…I dare ask you, representative of God. “Can you please accept my apology for the sake of my face?”

“Why does it save your face if I accept your apology?”

came out The inquisitor’s habit of not knowing how to interpret what is being said, so he just understands it straight away and then throws the ball straight.

As a result, the opponent froze. His facial expression may be subdued, but he is probably intensely choosing what to say on the inside.

“That’s…”

“Why should I apologize!”

But her fleeting head turn soon became useless. The culprit behind the incident left without any self-reflection.

Su Seongju’s beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold.

“Even if you say you’re a hero, you’re going to die from the devil anyway.”

In addition, as that guy crossed the line, my concept also took a hit.

bang!

“Wow!”

“Ahh!”

“Demon knight!”

I was already preparing for it, but it turned out better.

I know violence is wrong, but I still wanted to smack you in the head, right? In such a situation, the concept had no choice but to make a statement.

“Try again.”

I crushed the ground right in front of my opponent with my feet—literally crushed it. I pulled out my sword in a space that was less than 70cm long until a crack widened and a crater formed.

“Who gets killed by the devil?”

“Ugh…”

Perhaps because of the shock that shook the earth, I fell backwards, so there was no need to look down at the opponent who was one head ahead of me.

My sword was raised as if it would stab my voluptuous stomach.

“Master Tao!”

“who. To the devil. Are you dying? “I asked.”

Perhaps because of its ferocity, the other person never looked away. not bad.

“If you harm the master—.”

“I didn’t ask you.”

Good good. Since I happened to have my back to the light source, wouldn’t this be enough to scare that ruthless guy?

“Close your tongue unless you want it ripped out.”

“….”

Aside from that, this guy is also really funny. They are surrounded by attendants and guards, but you can see that not one of them is willing to risk their life to save them.

There really is no such thing as network.

“this. “This time, I lost my turn to my comrade.”

“…were you about to leave too? Please be patient.”

“But that’s worth living for—.”

“Ugh. That’s true, but say it quietly! “You hear it!”

In the meantime, it seems Berserker was also trying to strike. It wasn’t an attempt to move considering the context like I did, but an outright intention to kill.

“I am the son of Lord Seo….”

“That is not the answer to my question.”

“If you hurt me…”

If this happens, is it best for me to step forward? At least I’m going to stop at nothing but threats.

After all, the other person is the castle lord’s favorite son, right?

The level of threat may be able to go away as it is combined with an apology from the other side, but if it causes harm, there is a high probability that it will be unreasonable.

And no matter how many warriors we have as our backs, there is nothing good about losing against the castle lord. Especially if this is not legal and is close to illegal.

“I guess that wasn’t the answer to my question.”

“Hi!”

So I just raised my sword as if to stab it. It was an intentional misunderstanding that he raised his guard, as if he really thought he was going to get stabbed.

Shhh.

…But I didn’t intend this.

I chewed the inside of my cheek discreetly as I watched someone’s pants get a dark stain.

I think the picture I fall into in exchange for someone else’s face has become more natural.

“…It is an insult to have the blood of a scum like you on your sword. “Don’t let me see you again.”

I put the sword I wasn’t swinging back into its sheath. Then I hurried away before the urine reached my shoes.

Having an automatic washing function and burying excrement that did not need to be buried were two different things.

“…Let’s just skip over this, Inquisitor.”

“But…”

“Even if we have committed a crime, don’t we have the right to threaten our lives? I think it’s better for all of us to end things here. How is it?”

This is the end of the fight that seems like it will be long. As I left the room, I overheard the conversation going back and forth in the back.

“I don’t mind.”

“Phew. Berserk doesn’t matter either. “I don’t want to see any more of that pathetic thing.”

“…If that’s what you say, then let’s do it. Instead, we will donate the money we brought. And you guys. I will go and hold you accountable. Take Hayden to the castle.”

“…yes! Lord Xiaoseong!”

“You’re crazy, you’re crazy… How can I… How can I….”

As expected, the matter ended with a thump.

“…Originally, I came here to have a more valuable conversation with you.”

“Well, if the story is for everyone, how are you going to be affected by this?”

“…If you do so, would it be okay for me to ask for a conversation at the risk of being rude?”

“It depends on what kind of story it is.”

“This is a story about the telegram sent from Ednium.”

Also, the finished work brought new developments.

I had a feeling that the situation that had been so confusing without any clues would finally be resolved.
