Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 151

Episode 151: Things that aren’t going well (1)

Was it my first time using the information guild while taking Dev’s vacancy?

Thanks to the paddle, the entrance itself was not difficult. However, I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of fight Dev had been fighting so far.

It wasn’t a joke, it was 100% serious. The true face of the Information Guild that we experienced was beyond imagination.

“What a vulgar people they are. “There is no such thing as courtesy.”

“Heh heh….”

No, even in the game, the characters in the information guild didn’t have sprouted hair, right?

Although there were individual differences in each city, the common tendency was to try to rip off people or to overwhelm them while not crossing the line.

But it’s not at that level here…

“But we got what we got, didn’t we?”

“You mean… nothing in particular has changed? Or is it that they themselves do not know where they get the vegetables from because it is unclear?”

under. Let’s not talk. The only thing that is certain is that our meat dumplings are simply divine.

“Even without information, sometimes it becomes information. Even if you can’t see the way yet.”

“Is that so….”

“Don’t be too hasty. It is said that the investigation team from the Magic Tower sent to obtain samples of sacred power-eating beasts has just arrived in Cambura, so the search will speed up as time goes on.”

“…yes!”

“I wonder if he was feeling better before that…”

The Archmage in the front row among us opened the door to the quarters. Squeak. What can be seen through the open door are Berserker and Dev sitting at the table.

Dev was even curled up in a blanket and drinking soup.

“Are you here?”

I was speechless at that sight. Are you dissatisfied with your child’s energy to eat? Of course it wasn’t like that.

Just by looking at Berserker, who still has a gloomy expression and his arms crossed as if watching, can’t you see that he’s eating half of his own accord?

But that’s the reason I’m at a loss for words.

“Welcome, priest. “Please treat me for this.”

“yes? What else… you have a neck?!”

I wondered how long it had been since my cheeks healed and that I still had hand prints on my neck.

“No way, another terrorist attack….”

“It’s not like that.”

Dev, who was forced to show the scar on his neck due to Berserker, looked away and swallowed his soup.

Was it because he was strangled hard enough to leave red marks on his skin? I could see my eyes squinting every time I swallowed the soup.

“It’s okay, just stay still.”

“You don’t have to treat it…”

“Treat it, hunter.”

“Treat it.”

In the end, the Inquisitor took the soup bowl away, put it down, and placed his hand on Dev’s neck, who was giggling. I guess it’s because it’s an area that doesn’t have much contact with other people. Dev flinched.

It’s a disaster.

A light that only I wanted illuminated the room. The red color went away immediately.

“someone.”

“It’s not a big deal.”

“Shouldn’t we know who it is so we can respond?”

Immediately after, the Archmage’s interrogation began.

Well, Dev didn’t do anything wrong, so the interrogation was a wrong choice of words? I know. It’s Dev’s crime to keep the situation hidden from us.

“It’s really nothing—.”

“He strangled himself. “While sleeping.”

“It’s me!”

However, we had a reliable watcher called Berserker.

The three of us were shocked when we learned the truth, and Dev looked at Berserker desperately like a broken lover.

Of course she just picked her ears.

“What did you say just now?”

“He said he strangled himself. “Berserk barely woke up and it was over.”

“Oh no?! “This is just…”

There is no way Berserker would lie about something like this, and in the end, this is the truth.

Crazy guy. I don’t strangle myself in my sleep either. How serious is depression? Is this behavior that can be explained with the word depression in the first place?

“Eight yes! I did it. But it can happen when a person is sleeping…!”

However, the moment Dev changed his course to a more hostile direction, the Inquisitor, who had been trembling at the back, suddenly moved forward.

Then he cut off Dev’s excuse and grabbed him by the collar.

“You idiot!”

“…?!”

Is it because they are of similar height? Dev’s forehead, pulled by force, collided with the Inquisitor’s forehead.

“You can do that in your sleep? Nonsense! That’s all there is to see. “If you’re going to make excuses like that, just shut up!”

“…I closed it all, but you were the ones who kept asking me…”

“Don’t get caught!” “You bastard!”

I wonder if Dev got scared and put his head back because the distance was so close.

The Inquisitor followed suit and narrowed it down. Our noses almost hit each other.

“I may be clueless, but I don’t fall for such obvious nonsense!”

“Gu-gu-ra…”

“Inquisitor, that word is…”

“Are you two kissing?”

“There is only so much consideration! “I don’t know what you’re hiding, but do it!”

“I…”

The Inquisitor let go of his hand and Dev stumbled back two steps. Although he barely lost his balance, his shadowy eyes were filled with something.

“It would be better to speak out or take some other means. Anyway, what are you supposed to do other than whine! “Nothing will change if you keep hiding it!”

However, what was filled with all that was soon transformed into a single emotion. If not anger…

“Who knows that nothing will change?!”

“…?!”

“What do you know—!”

“I do not know! “I don’t know, so I’m telling you to say it!”

“If you say the fuck, they’ll despise you!”

“…!”

“Just like now, when I despise a subject I know nothing about and call it a criminal! No, more than now!”

Dev screamed with a red face. The Inquisitor’s face immediately turned pale at that. This is because it was clearly her fault that she could not deny it.

“That’s—.”

“I don’t need any excuses. “Because I won’t listen.”

So the Inquisitor lowered his head and Dev grunted and turned around. The destination is probably the door exiting the accommodation.

bang!

Dev walked past me, closed the door loudly, and disappeared beyond it.

The Inquisitor left behind pursed his lips. This situation must have been very difficult as he had zero social life experience and seemed to have zero peer relationships.

“…this.”

The Archmage massaged his forehead at this total mess.

She’s an Archmage who acts like a daycare teacher these days, but even she doesn’t seem to have the confidence to do anything in a situation like this.

“…All the food I bought for the young hunter to eat has gone cold.”

Berserker showed his own confusion. He was staring sullenly at the food he had bought to comfort Dev.

Somehow, it seemed like a sumptuous feast had been prepared.

“….”

What should I do now?

I moved around, alternately remembering the gloomy atmosphere of the room and the expression on Dev’s face that I had just glanced at.

Again.

Military uniforms broke the silence and crossed the living room. The goal is not the exit door, but the room assigned to me.

It rattled.

I went into my room and closed the door.

Crash.

We also installed a lock that does not play any practical role, but clearly conveys the message, ‘Do not enter.’

Okay then. I guess I’ll have to go out again.

Squeak.

I opened the window and jumped through it. Because it was on the first floor, there wasn’t much noise.

Sweet.

Just in case, I closed the window again. There is no ability to lock the inside lock from the outside, but it won’t be noticeable on the outside.

I left the temple quickly and secretly.

* * *

Deathbringer walked aimlessly through the village.

I wasn’t walking down the street. Aside from the risk of a fight, I didn’t have the confidence to face them.

He has no right to face the people of this city.

So he walked up and down the roof, looking for a suitable shade. The hood without ear holes was very frustrating, but I didn’t complain. It was something he deserved.

“Huh…”

And just as he found a decent shade, he flopped down there. A cold wind blew for this area.

“….”

Deathbringer suddenly wanted to see Skyla. I wanted to see that person who seemed distant to me as a family member and with whom I had a vague sense of a business relationship.

Even if he knew that she would scold and reprimand him rather than comfort him.

He didn’t need comfort right now. What he needs is someone who will take into account his sins in detail and become angry with him, but who will not abandon him.

No, I actually don’t mind being thrown away. What he really doesn’t want is what he can’t tolerate…

[This is the ‘sin’ discussed by those who have enjoyed privilege and have never seen the bottom. Isn’t it really annoying?]

“…!”

Deathbringer quickly took his stance. The body, which had been raised all at once, stopped at an ambiguous height, as if it could jump away at any moment.

“you!”

[Why are you so surprised? [Anew.]

When did it come? He chewed his lips as he looked at the being standing in front of him.

The other person secretly smiles softly, as if laughing at his nervousness.

[Like I said last time, I’m just trying to help you.]

Am I going to die? Will I be able to come back alive this time?

Deathbringer was inadvertently weighing the possibilities and was startled. ‘I will return alive’. Would he dare think such a thing? How dare he.

[There are too many people in the world who talk without knowing anything.]

My thoughts were forcibly interrupted. This is because the being that had come so close to his nose grabbed his chin.

Grumbling. The silver silk it is wrapped in floats in the air like a fish swimming underwater.

[I don’t know about those who have been harmed or those who are in the same position. It’s so unfair to say things carelessly when you’ve never experienced the same absurdity.]

“What are you talking about?”

[That’s right. Don’t we know that this is a sin? Don’t you feel guilty towards the people who were harmed by this? Nope. You are not. If they shout that they should be punished, they are the ones who will accept it. I just knew, but there was no other choice. Because I have no strength.]

“…!”

The snake wrapped around the other person’s neck came to him. The snake’s body pushed the hood aside, allowing bright sunlight to pour in.

[okay! I have no strength! I have no money or power! It’s really unfair that people who can’t even understand that they had to do that for that one reason are criticizing us!] It

was like a moment from the past. It was sunlight that filled the world with only a halo of light.

[The only thing that makes you clean and noble is that you were lucky enough to be born into a privileged class!]

Even at the moment of killing someone, he made that noble bastard look as holy as he could.

It was the damn sun.

[I’m not trying to deny sin. It’s not that I don’t want to be punished. But I feel bad when they criticize me. It’s really annoying to see people who are just lucky pointing fingers at something they know nothing about.]

“…What are you talking about?”

My eyes are so dazzling that I feel like crying. Probably so. Because it probably is.

Deathbringer let out a quiet voice. The other person smiled.

[You too?]

I couldn’t deny it.

“…He talks nonsense for a long time.”

[That’s what I’m proud of. This black tongue is everything to me.]

“So what should I do? “Are you telling me to betray you?”

[betrayal? Hahahaha!]

Still, I won’t fall for the devil. Deathbringer opened his mouth with that thought in mind and was rewarded with applause from his opponent.

[Betrayal is only betrayal if there is a bond.]

A part of my heart was pricked.

[You know it too. The reason you can be with them is because they don’t know your past. In fact, no one considers you special.]

Maybe it’s not Cook, but Quack.

[After all, you are just a puzzle piece that can be replaced.]

The temperature of the snake crawling on my neck was so cold.

[But I am different. I can make you special. It can also give you the strength to crush hypocrites who were just lucky enough to be born into a privileged class. You will be able to slaughter the evildoers you want to kill without worrying about them. If you wish, if you wish.]

Deathbringer lowered his head and looked at his shadow. It was a shadow that belonged to the shadows and was invisible.

“In return, I become your dog and I?”

[I don’t treat contractors roughly. To me, a contractor is a kind of comrade.]

“Huh, I guess he was a devil.”

[Then am I human?]

Squeak.

There was a sound of something being torn.

[think carefully. Your colleagues can’t understand you like I do. I won’t be able to sympathize with you.]

“…Why? Why do you think you can’t do it?”

[Are you seriously asking this? Do you think a priest who was born a warrior or a wizard who naturally rose to a privileged class through innate talent could truly understand you?]

“….”

[Even if they tried to understand you, how much would they understand? Surely it starts with ‘I understand your feeling of wanting revenge’ and ends with ‘That wasn’t right’? No matter how many people there are who would harm them, they are the ones who have the power and power to legally throw their opponents into the abyss.]

Even so, the black tongue inside the white shell did not stop.

[Oh, of course, a fighter who doesn’t care about anyone won’t say anything to you. You might say it was a good thing. But… you know? [The difference between his position and yours is like heaven and earth.]

It was as if poison had been applied to the tongue instead of the teeth.

[I managed to kill one person by crawling on the floor and rolling on the mud. After revenge, you had to run and run to survive without any time to repent… Will that strong warrior recognize you? Are you really able to gladly accept the understanding of that projection?]

It is inscribed in your soul without form.

[There is no need to mention the devil knight. Even though he was the most similar and most like you… he eventually gained at least some power. Even though he struggles the same way, he can achieve more and deeper revenge.]

A poison for which there is no antidote.

[In the end, even the two people who understand your heart are not equal to you. Because they have the ability. Because they are people who can do whatever they want without going back and forth like you.]

“….”

[But because they have the power to do it.]

Deathbringer’s eyes closed tightly.

“…It’s terrible. Even if you say that, aren’t you stronger than me?”

[Haha, right. I am stronger than you. In fact, it’s stronger than most people. In the end, I too am a being above.]

“I’m not saying anything about that topic.”

[But isn’t I the only one who can give you strength?]

“…!”

[There are rare beings who can take revenge on your behalf, give you power, or pour out wealth that can overwhelm everything. But that’s not what you want, is it?]

The other person let go of his chin and took the snake back, taking two steps back.

The silk resembling fish scales became disheveled, revealing a wondrous sight beyond.

[strength. ‘Power’ is the most primitive, barbaric, and essence of the world. This is what you want, right?]

Buuu. A huge whale roared right behind the opponent.

[Even though God has turned away from you, I am looking straight at you.]

Honestly, it was a sight that couldn’t help but move a piece of my heart.

[So make a contract with me. choose me Throw away the fools who don’t understand you.]

Ah, in the end, even this is proof that he is a weak person.

“…I have a few questions before signing the contract. Can I ask them?”

[Humans are very suspicious. okay. Let me ask. If I can answer, I will.]

“First of all… who are you? I knew it was the devil, but I wanted to know exactly who it was. “I need to know clearly who the devil I will contract with is.”

[Oh, didn’t I tell you?]

Deathbringer carefully asked about the other person’s identity. Then the other person responded in a joking but dry tone.

[May the world call me Moby Dick. The position the king has given me is timing. It is one of the seven great devils that you so reverence and fear.]

I expected it, but it was a real great devil.

Deathbringer swallowed instinctively.

“Then next… Why doesn’t someone as great as an archdemon take my body by force? It’s easier to steal the whole thing like a demon knight. “To be honest, I am weak, so it would be meaningless to make me a contractor.”

[Foolish. From my perspective, there is no much difference between you and other humans. And do you think people who are strong enough to make it meaningful when they become contractors would sign a contract in the first place?]

“…I guess so. “Maybe it’s because I’m weak that I don’t take over the body.”

[of course. There is no advantage to be gained by occupying a body as easily crushed as a human. I don’t know if they are lowly people who don’t have a proper body or have lost their body.]

“It seems like demons can lose their bodies. “If I sign a contract, will I be able to live when I lose my body?”

[You are a person with big dreams. But yeah. It’s not impossible. If you hold the soul on earth with great power and breathe it into a new body, that is resurrection.]

“Then putting that as a condition in the contract….”

[That’s not possible.]

“Oh, you can’t.”

Deathbringer clicked his tongue, saying it was a shame. Separately, the other person is now raising both hands, indicating that he has given a sufficient answer.

A piece of paper appeared in his hand, along with an afterimage that looked like water droplets gathering together. It was a very luxurious paper.

[If you write your name in your blood on this contract, the contract will be concluded. If you don’t know the letters, say your name. I will teach you the letters.]

“…Do I have to say your name?”

[Because that is the beginning of the contract.]

The other person held out his hand as if to take the paper. However, Deathbringer did not accept it willingly.

“Just a little more… give me time to think.”

[Oh my… I think I gave you enough.]

“It just takes a little bit.”

[…okay. I’m lenient so I’ll allow it. But don’t think about being shallow.]

Then, as if to take over, the snake flew by.

[Knowing the name doesn’t mean you can force a contract, but if you’re like me, it’s still possible to sign a provisional contract.]

Sigh. The snake’s teeth tore at his neck.

[The words are a fictitious contract, but

more like a curse.] At the same time, an extremely cold cold, like flowing ice, spread through my veins and throughout my body.

[Let me strengthen your body a little. In return, you must not tell others about your meeting with me or the conversation between us. You should not call me by my name in the presence of others. That is the condition.] It

was a feeling that made me wonder if this was not a burning pain, but rather pain caused by pain.

[For your information, it is not okay to leave a text message if you are prepared to die. There are more than a few shrewd military people like you.]

Oh, hell.

[Well, there’s no way the temple bastards will look kindly on you because you just signed a provisional contract.]

I was just trying to steal information.

[So, do your best. It would be good if you call me quickly.]

As expected, he doesn’t seem to be able to do it.

Deathbringer’s eyelids fluttered.
