Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 161

Episode 161: I made an excuse (1)

I had a fever. This was a thought that crossed Deathbringer’s mind while he was looking up at the sky.

“Are you okay?”

“That’s okay.”

It was a natural result. Even though my physical condition has improved a lot, it wasn’t an injury that would heal in one day.

In that yard, I walked around outside all day feeling the wind. Even though he was carried around on someone’s back, he did participate in outdoor activities.

“You don’t have a good complexion. “Your face is red.”

“I guess it’s because it’s a little hot.”

“Aren’t you feverish?”

“well?”

“…Forehead crab.”

“Ah ahhh.”

So, is there anything to say even if the situation gets worse?

“I think it would be better to go back.”

“That’s a bit… I’m telling you where the manpower is to be removed from here.”

“So you’re saying you’ll hold on?

“Please let me at least have a look.”

But I can’t back down like this.

Even if he was fine, he wouldn’t be able to help, but wouldn’t it be so miserable to not be able to even watch him? The same applies even if the distance is so far that nothing can be seen.

“If you really feel like it, just give me some ice…”

“…and insist on it.”

Therefore, he stubbornly maintained his position despite the Archmage’s advice. Of course, it can’t be helped that the sky full of gray clouds is a bit harsh.

“Uh oh oh!”

But then the person with the best eyesight started screaming.

I stared intently in the direction the person was pointing, but I couldn’t see anything, whether my vision was blurred due to the heat or if my vision was just poor.

“dot?”

“No, that’s….”

“People are falling!”

But that didn’t last long either. The distance to the target gradually became closer enough for him to see it.

And surprisingly, what was witnessed was the image of two people embracing each other, and it was also the new form of the hero and Berserk.

Wizards and priests hurriedly chanted spells. It creates a soft halo of light and a layer of air for their safe landing.

Thanks to this, the two people landed on the ground without any injuries. Of course, the injuries they were already suffering were separate.

“Are you guys okay?”

“Ah, Archmage.”

“Berserk is fine!”

Before I could ask anything, Eoi left first.

Berserk: What is that guy talking about with blood all over his body?

There are scars everywhere, making it hard to just say it’s devil’s blood. Your own blood will also be mixed in.

Moreover, if you look closely at that strong body, you can see that the veins are slightly prominent and the eyes are bloodshot.

It is said that the magical energy erosion continued even though the Inquisitor was next to him. That means there wasn’t enough time to even drive out the demons.

Moreover, Saennim’s face looks even more difficult than during Pa Enoch’s battle. I don’t know how much strength I used. I feel like I’m going to faint at any moment.

“First of all, Berserk, take your medicine first. And the Inquisitor, the Inquisitor….”

The Archmages and priests who knew this immediately latched onto Berserk and the Inquisitor.

Berserk didn’t refuse even though it was a little annoying. I don’t know anything else, but the danger of demonic energy erosion seems to be in that head.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I’m fine… but the demon knight…”

“Don’t overdo it.”

On the other hand, although the Inquisitor accepted the treatment itself, he could not calm down at all.

“Hey hey. “I am…?”

Deathbringer also sought the safety of the last person mentioned by the Inquisitor who was supposed to be here but was not there.

I found the driver who should have apologized for the cut on his cheek, but couldn’t. He should have repaid his trust, but he couldn’t even talk to me, let alone thank me.

The Inquisitor pursed his lips.

“Hey San. “Why are you saying this?”

“Comrades will come down soon.”

Fortunately, the answer came from somewhere else. It was Berserk.

“yes?”

“It’s going to come down with a gerbil dog or a bubby dog.”

I wonder how the only letter I got right was ‘rain’, but that’s not important.

“Why are you alone….”

“Ah, here he comes.”

How can a person remain in the sky without an Inquisitor to provide a foothold?

Before Deathbringer could question it, he reflexively raised his gaze to follow Berserk’s finger.

Then, they saw something very large, which they had not seen because they were busy taking care of the two, falling towards where they were.

At first, it wasn’t that noticeable due to perspective, but if you spend some time watching it, you can get a feel for its size.

“…We have to get out of here right now!”

“You must avoid it!”

If that thing falls down like that, there is a high probability that it will crush them. The people who witnessed it screamed one by one.

“Oh, there’s no need to go. “It will fall in that forest.”

But Berserk was calm.

“Demon knights are not stupid.”

That turned out to be true.

Despite the people’s fuss, the gigantic creature crashed hundreds of meters away from where they were.

Of course, the size and weight were so enormous that the heavens and earth shook and the earth shook wildly. However, the damage was not as serious as expected.

Even though something that big fell, the forest other than where it fell did not become devastated or the ground turned upside down, so it must have been like that.

“What the hell…”

However, although the damage was small, the shock to people was by no means small.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“Really the devil?”

“Is that the devil?”

“right. Why do you keep asking? “Are you idiots?”

“…Isn’t that what you want to say?”

The Deathbringer followed the Archmage and Priest Berserk—the Inquisitor fainted halfway—and slowly advanced to the spot where the creature had landed.

Neither the heat that took over my body nor the mind that was clouded by it could stop the desire to see someone survive.

“The Great Devil… is dead…”

“Is the Great Devil really…?”

“Oh my god…”

“I wanted to catch Berserk…”

But when he crawled to the crash site.

What the Deathbringer could see was the corpse of a giant Merman – a demon whose upper body was human and the lower body was a fish.

The length from the top of the head to the tail is difficult to capture at a glance, and even though it is upside down, its height is quite high, making you want to go over a mound.

Moreover, it was cut from shoulder to pelvis and was shaking.

“This is the devil’s body…?”

“The Great Demon of Envy was also huge….”

“You damn Magi. “It will take a long time to purify.”

“Three people really did this…?”

No, no. This is not what he wanted to see.

“Nari Nari?”

Deathbringer barely managed to regain his composure. The heat was now invading his throat, drying out the inside of his mouth and throat, but there was still more to find.

“I think my comrades are over there.”

“Why are you saying that now…!”

“Did you find the devil knight?”

Did they protect him like that? Fortunately, the person he was looking for was quickly found.

“lily…!”

It might be even funnier not to have been able to find him, as he was sitting there leaning against the knife between the Merman’s eyes.

“You devil knight!”

“What is it? Why is Nari reacting….”

“Huh, did she faint?”

Although he didn’t look very good, with sharp wounds all over his body and bleeding profusely from the corners of his mouth, nose, and even ear holes.

“lily!”

The Deathbringer’s feet, which were climbing the body of the Great Devil, became faster.

There’s no way he’s dead. The demon knight couldn’t have died. The thought, melted by the heat, is spewing out only the simplest obsession.

“Nari…”

And when I climbed up the garden of corpses and reached right in front of the demon knight.

He could see his chest rising and falling, albeit shallowly.

live.

At that moment, the tension disappeared and the world became dark.

* * *

In the forest around Ednium, an unprecedented incident occurred in which one of the great demons was subdued without any casualties, but three of the four injured fell into a coma.

In Camburgh, Johanna, the minor’s assistant, was falling into despair.

This is because there was absolutely no way to help her close friend and master, Lord Xiao.

“Please give me a drink.”

So she went into the bar she often stopped by after work. I felt like I was going to die of sadness if I didn’t pour the alcohol into my stomach right away.

“Huh Johanna?”

The bar was very lively, with gambling on one side, speeches on the other, and music performances on the other. You’re lucky to have one seat left at the bar.

“Here’s what you drink every time.”

“thank you.”

She received a drink from a friendly waiter. The one-shot exploded from the start.

“One more drink!”

“…Aren’t you eating too fast today? What’s going on?”

Even if you order something you always eat, you’re bound to have doubts when the speed at which you pour it into your mouth doubles.

The waiter who was replacing the drinking glass cautiously asked a question. Johanna’s resentment was pulled.

bang!

Johanna put down her glass roughly.

The drunkenness and resentment added to his chapped face and he chewed his lips.

“I can’t speak.”

“I guess it’s Lord Xiaoseong’s business.”

“Jeenjang!!”

Fortunately, the employee quickly agreed.

That may have had an impact on Johanna’s record, as I felt more upset every time she was hit by the ruined castle lord and his wife.

“Our poor Lord Soseong….”

“Hey… Did the damned second son get into an accident again?”

“The accident happened in the evening…”

“Tsk tsk tsk. ” “I don’t know when that guy will grow up.”

Of course, even if it weren’t for Johanna’s frustration, they would have easily guessed.

This is because everyone in the city knows that Soseongju is out of sight of Seongju.

Anyway, when Soseongju was young, Seongju never came to the market with me. However, I took my second child to see the market every other day and gave him all kinds of things.

Even citizens who are not interested in the Seongju family are bound to notice the favoritism.

Is that it? The fact that the second son’s evil behavior was never pointed out, and that So Seong-ju punishes even the slightest mistake, has long been spread through the mouths of the workers. Even the fact that So Seong-ju never rebelled or complained against him.

As a result, no one living in this city felt sorry for Lord Xiao. Soseongju was a sore finger for city residents.

“You need to come to your senses, Lord Seong. How can you love such a spineless bastard over the dignified Lord Soseong? Poor Lord Soseong….”

“I don’t know….”

“When does that gentleman retire? Lord Soseong is better at his job, so he will hand over his position quickly.”

“I don’t know….”

“What, did Lord Soseong get treated poorly again? Anyway, you stupid castle lord! “You have to raise your sword like the city next door to come to your senses!”

“Dad, why did you come out again… Be careful. “What are you going to do if you hear a rebellion?”

“I didn’t come because you didn’t come even when I called you! And what are you going to do if there are sounds of rebellion? “Do you really think there will be a massacre like the neighborhood next door?”

“…Don’t ever say that in front of Ednium people, Dad.”

“Am I stupid? “Say this in front of those people.”

Ednium. At those words, Johanna felt her sinking mood rise again.

Ednium Soseongju and Biryuho. That’s because the word came to mind right away.

“Lord Xiaocheng is also Lord Xiaocheng. Why does someone who fights so well for our rights retreat to their own business?… “Do you think of that as family too?”

“That’s right. “They’re such fucking bastards.”

She gritted her teeth as she listened to the rich man. Our poor Lord Soseong. Not only was he born into a family like Val, but now he even has a lover. What on earth did the dead people in the middle do?

“Anyway, we’re going. “Don’t drink too much.”

“okay. “If you take time off, who will take care of our Lord Soseong?”

“Everyone doesn’t even care about me, right? shit. “Please give me one more drink.”

“of course. “I’m coming back for a drink!”

Johanna, overcome with sadness and anger, emptied the fourth glass and took the fifth drink. Today I was planning to just drink it to death.

“Damn you, you can’t even catch a single bastard, so you end up like this!”

However, just as she was about to finish her sixth glass, a shout that was almost like a scream came from the table next to her.

“Oh man, it’s starting again.”

“…What is it?”

“huh? Ah, the number of wild beasts has increased a lot these days. “A lot of adventurers are sent, and of course soldiers are sent as well.”

“…So?”

“But that yellow-haired nobleman’s daughter over there is an adventurer or something. The son of the nobleman on the other side is a soldier. The problem is that both of them took part in this situation…”

The owner and the employee had left. She heard an explanation of the situation from the customer sitting next to her.

However, rather than continuing to speak to the end, the customer changed direction with a wave of his hand. A gesture of slitting the throat with the thumb. I understood it without having to listen any further.

“What man!?”

“If you soldiers did their job properly, there would be no need for adventurers to be mobilized!”

“Did you say everything?! “The ones who volunteered to come and died due to lack of skills were adventurers!”

“Say that now—!”

At the same time, I began to empathize with their fight.

Since the reason for the animals’ flocking is unknown, they may be venting their emotional distress to the people they can see. It’s so sad that I have no place to blame.

“…The cause lies elsewhere.”

The problem is that the real culprit of the situation exists and there is no proper way to punish that existence.

“huh?”

“Damn it.”

From the beginning, the matter was not scheduled to be revealed.

This is because the Lord of Soseong and the Lord of Seongju decided that if they could not be punished anyway, it would be better to just pass it off as an incident.

Johanna didn’t think it was right, but she wasn’t against it either. If it was the lord’s will, he had to follow it as a subject.

Even if you are faced with the miserable sight of victims fighting each other without knowing the existence of the perpetrator.

“What are you doing so loud?”

“Fuck.”

“Hey, clean everything up. “It will be dirty.”

But why does that naked bastard come again?

Johanna almost spit out her drink instinctively, but barely held it back.

Isn’t it quite unusual for someone who serves Lord Soseong to be rude to Lord Soseong’s younger brother? Even if the relationship between the two is at its worst.

“Let go of this!”

Those who fought while drunk or out of resentment were subdued by the soldiers. Since I didn’t go in for a fight, I was just holding on to it so I couldn’t move.

I’m not sure if that’s a really good development.

“I’m going crazy, this far…”

Separately, there was a voice that seemed to represent her feelings from earlier.

Johanna turned her gaze to the seat next to me. The customer who had explained the situation to her earlier was frowning. The customer’s gaze falls on the second child who had just entered the store.

“Ah, I found it.”

The second bastard even got angry when he saw the guest sitting next to her. I thought we knew each other. Although I have never received a report.

“Hey adventurer. Why did you refuse the escort request?”

“Didn’t I tell you when I saw you during the day that I couldn’t do it due to scheduling issues? “If you can’t do designated hiring, you can’t do it.”

Ah, I see why she didn’t know. It was just a new trick today.

Johanna kept swearing in her mind as she saw the shameless man reaching out to adventurers, not just the women in the castle and city.

The son-in-law, who became quiet upon the appearance of Seongju’s second son, must have felt similar to her.

“I even hired someone by designation, so why doesn’t it work?”

“That young master.”

I don’t want to come forward and I don’t want to talk about it, but she is still the person who works at the castle. Although he may not be his immediate superior, the second master is someone he respects from afar.

So Johanna stepped forward to stop the oppression. The second child’s eyebrows lifted at her intervention.

“Why are you—!”

“You son of a bitch!”

Suddenly, a bean stalk that came out as a side dish hit the second child’s head.

Everyone around them widened their eyes. Did I commit it without realizing it? It seems like everyone is thinking that way.

As if Johanna had seen her own hands without realizing it.

“young master!”

“What! “What kind of bastard—!”

“Well met, you bastard! You’re the problem too! “If you hadn’t wasted your soldiers on such nonsense to keep the Lord of Soseong in check, my daughter wouldn’t have died!”

“what?!”

“You guys killed my daughter!!”

Fortunately, Johanna’s hand did not do anything without her knowledge. But that doesn’t mean things are going well.

“What are you saying, you bastard!”

“Die, die! You’re no help, you bastard!! die!!”

“Just stop it!”

“You crazy guy!”

It seems like the adventurer’s daughter didn’t appear for nothing.

A man who lost his adventurer daughter shook off the soldiers who were oppressing him and took hold of his second daughter.

The guys who were escorting me couldn’t even react.

“Oh no!”

Johanna promised to cut off all of those guards and at the same time sighed.

This can’t be covered up anymore. That idiot will only think about the damage he has suffered and will definitely punish this person.

“This crazy crazy guy—!”

“Let’s die together. People like you must die!”

“That bastard, Soseongju, Soseongju! What do you think would have happened if that bitch had come forward!? What would you like to say that the tiger was going out? ”

I’m going to punish you.

“What…!”

“You idiots! Even if Soseongju’s mother comes back alive, you won’t be able to save your children! “Because that bastard killed the Biryuho that you guys were admiring!”

“young master!!”

How does that crazy guy know about that?

Johanna felt even the little remaining intoxication disappear.

“Biryuho…?”

“Why does that name come up?”

This can no longer be covered. The residents who have been able to find their own rights because the owner of Soseong shouts that they should enjoy their rights will never leave any doubts behind them.
