Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 152

Episode 152: Things that don’t flow (2)

You know, Emmett.

I thought that if I ever became frustrated, it would be because of the limitations of my abilities.

Or else, the unchanging reality and the exceptions that arise will break my resolve and I will despair.

Just like knight Nari did.

But no.

It’s not those things that really disappoint me…

“Gasp!”

Deathbringer hurriedly opened his eyes. How much time did it take to collapse immediately after being cursed by the devil?

The sky that is slightly visible in the tilted world is extremely dark.

Even so, you’ve been unconscious all this time?

He was horrified by that fact and woke up. Sreuk. Something flowed out.

“…blanket?”

What blanket?

“…??”

It wasn’t even cheap fabric. Even though it wasn’t up to the level of silk, it was quite soft, similar to what a hero or mage would use.

“No way…”

Could it be that the devil covered up his fainting? no way? really?

What are all these crazy bastards?

The Deathbringer stared at the blanket with a bug-bitten expression that was beyond aghast. Rustle. It was then that something touched my hand that was touching the ground.

“What is this again…”

He found a leather pouch the size of his fist and grabbed it. The opening must have been slightly loosened, and some of the contents fell out.

“This is…”

It was candy. Candy made by melting precious sugar.

“What…”

You left behind the blanket and even the candy? The devil? 계약 안 하겠다고 하니까 억지로 가계약을 맺어 버린 개새끼가?

“her.”

At this point, it goes beyond giving a bottle and giving medicine, and is even somewhat comical. Anyway, isn’t it a bit strange that the devil would care about something like this?

It’s not a climate where you can freeze to death if you lie down without a blanket.

However, it is a bit strange to even consider it as not a devil. If not the cancer devil, who on earth would do him this favor?

He’s even on the roof so you can’t see him from the street.

In a situation that could not be explained, Deathbringer continued to raise question marks.

I really couldn’t understand it.

“It’s going to spin, really.”

He stretched out his hand to throw away the candy that an unknown person had given him.

It was none of my business to know the meaning of the warning or anything else. It made me shiver to imagine that it could have been given to me by a demon bastard or a bastard who had put a curse on me.

“….”

But strangely, his hand did not let go of his pocket. It made me wonder if this too was a curse.

“Oh shit. “If you’re going to leave it behind, leave a note…”

But sweets are precious. It was so precious. It was truly as precious as a person’s free favor.

So I couldn’t bear to throw it away.

“Damn it…”

Deathbringer’s hand holding the candy trembled. And I finally gave up on dropping it. I also can’t throw it away.

“Plague.”

okay. The devil must have given it to me.

I guess it’s just that some rich guy happened to come up to this roof, found him, and gave him some candy and a blanket that he happened to have.

…There is no such thing as bullshit.

Even though he knew his rationalization was wrong, he ended up taking the candy. Would they have given you poison separately since you were already cursed? There was also an accident like that. It was truly a senseless action.

But since joining this party, has there ever been a solution?

That’s the case even now. If there had been a plan in the first place, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.

“…What should we do now?”

Above all, it is foolish to think deeply about something that has already happened.

So he thought about what he had to do next.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t go back to the party. As the devil said, there was no way Saenim wouldn’t have noticed that a provisional contract had been made – in this case, ‘affected’ would be more appropriate.

Also, there is no way I can tolerate him.

He can’t even explain why he was given a provisional contract to save his life by making excuses. Because if I tell you, I’ll die.

It sounds like a complete disaster.

“Maybe it’s better. “I was planning on leaving anyway…”

Is there any way to do this? I have no choice but to turn my back on the warrior party and leave.

“Yeah, it’s better.”

Signing a provisional contract won’t become a big problem as long as you can leave the city without encountering them.

After that, well. If he’s lucky, the devil might get the contract from him, but if not…

he doesn’t have any intention of signing a proper contract at least. So, I believe that if I live my life paying attention to the temple, everything will work out. If you research information about the provisional contract, there is a possibility that you will find an answer.

What if the devil comes to force you to make a contract? At that point, just die.

Isn’t death already half-booked at the point where the provisional contract was forced to be signed in the first place? The question is whether you die to the temple or to the devil.

“It’s better….”

So, it’s right for him to leave.

It’s right to leave.

“Rather…”

This too was fate, whether voluntarily or unwillingly, it was fate to leave according to the theme. Thinking like that is…

fighting.

“uh?”

That’s right.

Why do tears flow freely?

“What the fuck did I do well…”

How many people died because of that, and how many people in this city died because of that?

What’s so sad about giving up qualifications that don’t even fit your needs on a topic like that?…

“Fuck…”

Deathbringer eventually collapsed back into his seat. I couldn’t stand up because the tears were falling and I felt so guilty and sad.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have picked up the knife. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just swallowed my desire for revenge.

Why why am I for you….

“I’m sorry….”

You should have lived instead.

“Emmett….”

You should have lived….

* * *

Rustling

“Emmett….”

By the time the moon disappeared behind the building, Deathbringer had completely fallen asleep. Or maybe I fainted from exhaustion.

But either way, at least you won’t wake up.

He’s talking in his sleep, but no matter how close I get, he doesn’t show any signs of waking up.

“Where are you going on the topic of meat dumplings?”

So I carefully covered him again with the blanket that had fallen down. It seemed like I had taken the candy, so I didn’t bother looking for it.

“I am indeed. “It’s not good to just accept something that someone you don’t know left behind…”

I’m glad he didn’t throw away the gift I gave him, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be happy about it.

After all, there’s no guarantee that bad guys won’t use similar tactics in the future. There is no way they would let go of something harmless.

“You should like this or not.”

I want to say something, but I can’t.

I sighed softly as I looked at the person who was sleeping with a swollen face.

When I looked at that face, I kept thinking back to the moment I first saw it and my heart pounded.

“Just worry about other people.”

It’s not something I would say, but still. How would people feel if they were spread out on the roof?

I had been targeted by the devil before, so at first I thought I was dead. If I hadn’t heard the sound of breathing at the right time, would I have been panicking even now?

“Meat dumplings.”

I tapped the obnoxious young man on the bridge of his nose and sat down in a nearby seat.

There was an alley next to it, so I could hide by just jumping down, and I could see Dev, but it was at an angle where Dev couldn’t see me.

This is also the spot I used earlier during the day. I knew that he was alive, not dead, and that there was nothing wrong with his body, but I still couldn’t bear to leave him alone.

I kept jumping every time it wriggled—because if I got caught, it was a disaster—and now I’ve got a knack for landing quietly.

You can tell just by looking at Dev that he didn’t get caught when he just woke up.

Well, the fact that I was hiding in the alley until now was probably not discovered because of a combination of coincidences.

“Emmett….”

From earlier, he was just calling me the name Emmett in his sleep. Could it be that Emmet is the name of a dead friend or someone similar to him?

I made a few guesses and then put them aside. No matter how hypothetical it was, it still seemed rude to imagine someone else’s situation.

Of course, I was too bored and sleepy to just sit there, so I thought about other things.

For example, the reason Dev is leaving or the information he obtained from the Information Guild this time.

In particular, among the information obtained from the information guild, it was quite interesting that So Seong-ju’s parents were the Seongju couple, who were newly appointed as a result of an incident about 10 years ago.

Is it because the residents killed the original Seongju family in the name of rioting and put themselves in their place? The policy was centered around residents.

I think he’s also called a saint because his attitude hasn’t changed recently.

Of course, that doesn’t prove it’s not a dark story. You must have experienced so many twists and turns in situations like this.

It’s just that… there is a comment that ‘Only Soseongju is not as usual at times’, so it is more likely that he may be the only criminal.

Either way, we’re not at a stage where we can feel relieved yet.

“Hmm.”

So I thought about it some more.

“Ah, it’s dawn.”

Morning finally dawned. From afar, the sound of Berserker jumping around like a puppy with its tail on fire, looking for the Deathbringer was heard.

* * *

Deathbringer felt the sensation of his body floating in his sleep. It was so hard that it supported my body and I could feel warmth from one side.

It was uncomfortable, but cozy, and he blinked his blurry eyes. I want to sleep. A slight desire made my eyelids heavy.

But… who is carrying him in his arms?

At that moment, my mind came to me as if I had been hit by cold water. Green eyes glanced around.

“Oh young hunter. “Are you awake?”

“Wow!!”

What I thought about before falling asleep again was to leave without meeting my companions. But why is he possessed by Berserk?

“Please drop me off!!”

The Deathbringer trembled like a freshly caught fish. However, Berserk was a capable warrior and had excellent reflexes.

She made a puzzled face as she was careful not to let him fall.

“We’re almost there, why bother?”

“yes?”

Deathbringer blinked at Berserk’s words. And he reflexively turned his gaze in the direction Berserk turned his head.

It was not a temple, but their accommodation provided in the temple was only 30 meters away. The Inquisitor even burst out of the door, perhaps because he heard the screams he made when he woke up or because he sensed demonic energy.

“There’s a demon outside…!”

The Inquisitor’s and his eyes were directly intertwined.

“you you…?”

“Waaaaaaah!!!”

This is a really, really, really real crisis.

The Deathbringer twisted his body with all his might. The movements were more rough than usual and everything about Berserk was shaken off.

“Wow… young hunter, you have strength…”

Tak.

His boots hit the floor.

“No, why why why….”

“I’m leaving now!!”

“Huh!”

Let’s bounce. If I run away like this, the suspicion will deepen, but I am in a position where I cannot make excuses anyway.

So let’s jump out for the sake of survival since we’ve already been caught.

“Now catch Berserk!”

“Eh?”

“Inquisitor, what on earth is going on….”

“No, that mage, that’s it! “Let’s catch this first…!”

Above all, things were better now. This is because only the Inquisitor knew and Berserk could not understand the situation at all.

Crucially, Knight Nari is not present.

On the other hand, if you take a little time, the story gets into Nari’s ears? That was when I had to give up hope.

The Inquisitor may be slow, but the Demon Knight is someone who can overpower even him.

“Mr. Demon energy has entered the temple! What!!”

But why does his condition seem to be getting steadily worse – for him?

Deathbringer found the priests rushing towards him and saw that they were frowning at him. X is done.

“catch!!”

“What is it? Why are you suddenly capturing a young hunter?”

“Inquisitor?”

“Ma Magi….”

Still, it’s lucky that Saennim hesitates because he has some kind of hate built up from being together.

“I can feel the magic energy from him.”

Deathbringer swallowed bitterly, looking at the Inquisitor who was more agitated than he expected.

It turns out he didn’t hate me as much as I thought. It was a truth that I realized only now, when our relationship was severed and was on the verge of turning bad.

“Catch it!”

“Hurry after me!”

“Don’t let me leave the temple!”

Still, thanks to him, I was able to survive. Whiik. Deathbringer somehow got over the wall with a faster body.

“ah.”

“…?”

After all, there was a demon knight beyond it.
