Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 315

Episode 315 If only it were possible (1)

The Deathbringer opened his eyes sharply at the sight of him coming down, and then brought his eyebrows together at the first foot he could see from the angle.

This is because the shape of the boots made me realize that the person coming down now was an old man.

However, the face that was soon revealed was not as messed up as I thought. To be more precise, the red and swollen area around my eyes seemed like something I had done, but I was relieved that it wasn’t in the worst direction I had imagined.

To be honest, the relationship between the two is such that it would not be strange even if Daniel came down with blood on his cheek.

Of course, conviction and emotion are different, so if there had been real blood on the cheek, the Deathbringer would have immediately thrown the false sword. This is especially true now that I have found out about the demon knight’s situation.

There is nothing wrong with the demon knight, at least the current demon knight. It was all down to the guy who brought Nari in as he pleases and the damn devil who provided the opportunity for it all!

“Go up. “It will be okay.”

Still, seeing as he talks like that, it seems like he somehow managed to solve it. Deathbringer was truly relieved at that point and climbed up the watchtower. It was a speed that would make someone say, ‘I can’t see my feet because of the exaggeration.’

“lily!”

Still, the fast pace quickly slowed down as we reached the end of the watchtower. I couldn’t believe it, but the demon knight’s cheeks were wet, so there was nothing I could do.

Deathbringer paused in confusion, once again realizing the change in the demon knight. I don’t intend to deny the other person’s identity just because they don’t have the personality I know, but… I’m also a bit humble.

Deathbringer stood half-covered at the entrance to the watchtower and watched the demon knight carefully.

“…Can I go?”

The demon knight smiled wryly at his timid question. It was a faint and awkward smile that anyone would think was a frown.

“Does not matter.”

“Really…?”

“okay.”

Wow, I can’t get used to it at all.

Deathbringer felt goosebumps rising on his skin. It wasn’t that I didn’t like it, but it was so unfamiliar that it gave me goosebumps. His steps slowly continued near the demon knight.

“…that sire. “You look a little tired.”

“Well…”

However, at that point, something else besides wet cheeks caught my eye. Eyes that are a more gloomy color than usual, an expression that is neither deep in thought nor stern but slightly different from unpleasant, or blood lines drawn thinly on the ears. It was roughly like that.

“If I say I’m tired, are you going to call me a devil like last time?”

“When will I come?”

“Maybe on the boat?”

But before he could read anything from it, the demon knight smiled faintly. There wasn’t a dramatic change, just the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, but strangely, the person’s facial expression seemed softer.

“…I won’t.”

“is it.”

“It will never happen.”

Still, something he needed to read didn’t disappear. Deathbringer knew that and focused more.

“Then you’re not going to say anything if I close my eyes?”

『Please don’t call me an old man.』

Suddenly, the owner of the voice he didn’t like very much overlapped the devil knight’s gray color.

Deathbringer suddenly choked.

“…sure.”

Why did that guy come to mind? Is it because the colors overlap? Or is it because it’s someone you just ran into? However, the devil knight and that old brat have no resemblance other than their hair color…

Deathbringer’s heart sank for a moment as he watched the devil knight’s eyelids slowly close. I felt like I was missing something… something important. Something he should never have missed.

Sreuk.

Meanwhile, the demon knight’s eyes were completely closed. It was not a sight commonly seen. Because the Demon Knight was not someone who slept defenselessly in public places.

“lily.”

“….”

Deathbringer fumbled with his luggage, feeling once again a sense of urgency at that fact. I was definitely concerned about the pounding heart and the discomfort that caused it, but I didn’t want to make the demon knight sleep without any sleep.

“Uh…”

But there is no blanket. To be exact, in the process of returning to the city, the luggage in the demon knight’s magic bag got lost.

The Deathbringer’s mouth gathered into a triangle shape.

“We’re in big trouble.”

The Demon Knight’s magic bag can only be used by the Demon Knight. The story is that even if he puts his hand in a hundred days, his luggage will not be caught.

So all he can do is hand over the cloak he is currently wearing… Deathbringer took a quick look at the lining of his cloak. I could see the Inquisitor’s runny nose that had dried up. I had to go to the desert, but there was no one to borrow a cloak and my nose was dry, so I had to force myself to use it.

“….”

Will his idol be covered with the outer surface of a cloak full of dust and grime, or with the lining thick with dried snot?

Deathbringer was caught in the trouble of a lifetime.

* * *

“still?”

When the sun reached the horizon after passing through the sky, Günter blinked at the soldier’s report. It was because someone went up the watchtower and had no intention of coming down.

“Shall I wake him up and bring him?”

“No, don’t do that.”

The person who caught the Great Devil can sleep for a long time. Is there any need to wake him up?

With that mindset, Günther waved his hand slightly and glanced at Hae, who had almost fallen. There’s no need to wake him up, but I think it would be better to change his bed.

My thoughts changed a little. In his opinion, and realistically, the watchtower was not a good place to sleep.

“Please tell me this instead. I can give you a spare room in the castle, but are you thinking of moving there? “Let’s put off the conversation until tomorrow.”

So he came up with a new suggestion.

Isn’t it too late to talk anyway? Günther himself has been running around all day and has exhausted all his stamina, so he is not in a state to have a conversation.

So if it’s already too late, wouldn’t it be better to put it off until tomorrow for everyone’s convenience? Günther expressed this opinion in the name of efficiency and rationality. It is unclear whether the temple will agree, but considering the current bishop’s tendencies, it seems likely that he will agree.

“yes. “Can I just tell you that?”

“Is that really true? “Please tell the butler on your way out.”

I am not sure whether he will move to the castle or not. If you are going to move one, it would be best to prepare so that you can head straight for it.

“The gray tin room… no. Tell Baek to tidy up the room and guide guests so they can rest right away when they come. “It’s not white copper, it’s white silver, so don’t get confused.”

If you feel like it, you can give platinum or fine gold, but there are problems with each of those two rooms.

So Günter chose the next best room after those two and gave it to him. The lighting was a little poor, but the sand didn’t blow in and it was a cozy room.

“Then let’s go quickly.”

“yes.”

Damn it, I would have given it to Platinum if it wasn’t the fucking former castle lord’s room.

Günther was contemplating whether to rescind the order even now, but gave up, wondering what kind of crime the hero had to commit to use such a trash room.

The fact that there were so many people who would protest against giving up the place, citing tradition and all, also played a role in his resignation. Gunter was already exhausted and didn’t have the confidence to handle all that shit.

“It’s unexpected. “I thought you guys would say something.”

However, now that I have given up my room, I won’t be able to avoid those damn things. If platinum belongs to the castle lord, pure gold is the castle lord’s pet, and silver is a place that has been used by his successors for generations.

“This is a decision made by Lord Soseong. “No complaints.”

“I agree.”

However, contrary to Gunther’s expectations, the two knights next to him said something different. Gunther’s eyes became mysterious.

“Forget all the talk of loyalty based on top-down. “The inauguration ceremony is still over anyway.”

“Heorye and pretense decided Lord Soseong’s position—”

“Well, really?”

Well, if you actually think about it, it might not be a completely strange thing. Even the most honest person becomes interested in politics once he or she becomes a chief engineer.

And the authority of Seongju, which cannot control a single knight, is shaken. Now that the former owner of the castle, who had absolute power, is dead, they have no choice but to show their loyalty to the city.

“We’re alone, so why don’t we just come out openly?”

“I’m serious.”

“Are you going to come out like that?”

Of course, since there is no one else besides them right now, it doesn’t matter if he shows a little resistance… but considering that those two were relatively friendly towards him, it can be understood that they are showing respect.

“I will ask you for the last time. “Are you truly not dissatisfied?”

I can only understand. I couldn’t believe it.

Günter: Because his judgment was not always perfect.

“…I don’t like it. But I think it’s for the best.”

“okay. It’s like that too. “Then what about Lord Sapphire?”

“…I also agree that it is the best. “I have some anxiety, but that’s something I have to deal with.”

“I see…”

Look. Isn’t this the answer that fits perfectly this time?

Günter leaned heavily on the chair he was sitting on. It was a lot of criticism, but I felt at ease. 『You… are done. It’s a waste of time to even talk about it.』 In a way, the fact that something was pointed out meant that there was room for improvement.

“I’m sorry.”

Still, I know that this behavior itself is not right. It is only natural that Seongju, who is no one else, is unsure about his choice because it clearly means he is incompetent.

“There’s something like this on top of my head.”

“no.”

“How can you say that?”

But how can you not do this? He’s too stupid to be confident in himself, so how can I just push him around?

“Today, Lord Soseong performed his role as the temporary lord of the castle perfectly.”

“Perfect… Is that what you’re saying even though so many people are screaming?”

“Not everyone can survive. Even if the former Lord of Seong was alive, it would still be the same. “The decision that Lord Soseong made was clearly the best that could have been made on the spot.”

Günter laughed at the article comforting him. best. That was the word that the former Seongju hated the most. Especially because he was the only best person in this position.

“This is not a place to do your best. “It’s a position where you have to make the best choice.”

“Lord Soseong, it is impossible for a human being to make the best choice every time—”

“Absolutely not. know. But will the residents also say that?”

To be honest, Gunter thought he did everything he could today. He didn’t run away at all, he didn’t tremble in fear, and even though he lacked stamina, he stayed where he was until this moment. How could it be said that he didn’t try hard?

“You guys know that too. “How bad is my image among soldiers and residents?”

However, his best efforts do not solve everything. That was the problem.

Ultimately, this is a position where the result is more important than the process.

“Lord Soseong, who gets scolded every day, Lord Soseong, who tries hard but can’t do it. It’s unfortunate, but Lord Soseong, it’s clear that he’s not capable…. Of course, I partially agree with those opinions. Because a talented person who is emotional and lacks confidence is definitely not suitable for the position of Seongju. But isn’t there a difference between everyone knowing it and only me knowing it?”

“…People also saw Lord Xiao’s activities.”

“I did see it. But it’s not like they’ll always remember that.”

Today, the soldiers and residents obeyed well. However, this was only because a series of shocking events took place and people’s spirits were lost, and it was not because they truly believed in him.

They will soon come to their senses and begin to doubt him.

“I’m sure words will come out soon. The survival of the city is at stake, so is it okay for an incompetent and stupid person like me to stand on top? “I think there should be someone more trustworthy.”

“Lord Xiaocheng is not incompetent! “Just today…!”

“But I’m worse than Seongju. yes?”

“that…!”

“Those who are left behind are always compared to those who left. “Just as you have been endlessly compared to pumpkins.”

It’s unreasonable, but it is so. He is not incompetent because he wants to be incompetent, but his ability is arbitrarily brought to the judgment table and evaluated. The better the predecessor, the stricter the standards.

“Of course, it’s something that can’t be helped since it’s a position, but…” Just

because it can’t be helped doesn’t mean it can be overcome. Günter wanted to stop now. Please free him from the words that have bound him all his life.

“That is correct. But Lord Xiaocheng, don’t think about quitting just because of that.”

However, Lord Sapphire blocked him like a ghost, as if he had read his mind. Sir Topaz, who was less observant than Sir Sapphire, made a surprised face.

“Lord Xiaocheng?”

“…why? Why not? Everyone will doubt my abilities anyway, so wouldn’t it be better to put someone else in the spotlight? Don’t you think it would be easier for you to have a more capable person on top of you than to have an asshole like me?”

The self-hatred that had been building up all my life poured out like a torrent. The torrent was even stronger as it was the most terrible day in Munmund’s history.

Günther did not want to stay in this horrible place even for a moment longer. This burden was too heavy.

“Every human being has the wisdom to find the right path in the darkness. It’s just that many people haven’t found it yet.”

However, the moment Sir Sapphire spit out a phrase, he gritted his teeth.

“So we must be the first guides to that wisdom. “That’s what Lord Amber said.”

“Lord Sapphire.”

“But Lord Soseong, Lord Soseong, you respect him so much, but do you really not plan to keep his words?”

“You really are.”

“Are you really going to do that?”

“Münmund is the worst human being.”

I had to express my anger like that because I dared to threaten him with something more precious than my life.

“Gyeong, I really hate Gyeong.”

“…sorry.”

“The Lord always pretends to be for me and makes it so I can’t escape from this situation. “It would be natural for me to be the owner of a small castle because I am an important person.”

“Lord Xiaoseong, something like that….”

“But yes. “What you said is right.”

It’s miserable. Günter pondered as he looked at the line of sentences that put him in the most hated position. It’s also miserable.

“You can’t go against his word. “I can’t go against his word.”

It was the worst… miserable love in the world.

“Lord Xiaoseong.”

“Lord Sapphire, please take my place for the next hour. “You can’t possibly say that I can’t do this after you’ve put me down so much, right?”

“…If you’re going to go out, take Sir Topaz with you.”

“There is no need. “I have no intention of leaving the castle.”

Rather than leaving the castle, I’ll just go back to my room.

Günther left the room, leaving the two chief knights alone. I saw an office across the hallway that was being used as a temporary integrated command center, but I tried to ignore it. Sir Sapphire will take over for the next hour.

“Room.”

However, as he entered the hallway where his room was located, Gunter remembered one thing he had forgotten. The white room, which was originally his room, had now been given over to a guest.

I guess I should go back. He returned his steps down the hallway, thinking about the location of the guest room. If you’re going to think about it, you’ll think about it sooner. What’s there to think about right in front of your room? The lightly concocted sentences cannot completely cover his sadness. His feet

limped

back down the hallway. In the hallway, where there is no light source other than the candle he is holding, the scarlet light sways with every step he takes.

Slurp.

And another ray of light was added to that dark road. It was a ray of light that started from a thin line and became thicker at an inclined angle.

“…?”

Günther’s head unconsciously turned backwards.

“…Pasha?”

I saw a nostalgic face.
