Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 41
◈Better Daum than Episode 41 (6)
“Why is Nari’s complexion like that?”
“You’re not seriously hurt, so don’t worry.”
After cutting off part of the sea, I was left with the sea dyed black. It was really my best not to throw up. Even though I didn’t just vomit, I was droopy like a wet rag.
“Then what about that…?”
“That’s the only clue we got.”
Still, the slash I fired did its job. Although we blew the curtain on the Inquisitor, we also cut off the attackers who had targeted the ship.
In addition, when I cut through a part of the sea without stopping, I was able to get a glimpse of the inside…
“What is this…? beast? devil?”
“That will also be something we will gradually learn about from now on.”
I still don’t know. Was it a reef that I saw inside, or was I mistaken about the reflection of the water, or something else?
However, one thing that is certain is that from now on, if I am asked to board a ship, I will choose to stay for three days and nights.
“Then will you stay here longer?”
“I think it should be like that, at least for today.”
I tried not to notice the Archmage glancing at my complexion. The moment I became aware of it, I had to act evilly to fit the concept, so it was better to just ignore it from the beginning. Especially now that I have no energy.
I really hate seasickness.
How is it that even after returning to land, the motion sickness doesn’t go away?
“Demon Knight, are you okay?”
I looked down at the kimchi dumplings, clenching my chapped lips from chewing.
I guess it’s because I don’t have much time to spare due to motion sickness. The conceptual language of wanting to reassure the worried round face and tell it that it’s okay, and then telling it to get out of the way because it’s annoying, was alternately rolling over my tongue.
“If it’s not okay, what difference does it make?”
“…That’s true, but….”
“Get out.”
In the end, it was the concept that won.
I thought it was a bit excessive to tell them to just turn it off, so I tried to mellow them out… but when I reconsidered, I realized that the character I got should be moderately repulsive. I think it would have been okay to say that out loud. Although it is not a good thing from the body’s point of view.
I suppressed the dizziness and walked towards the forest. I felt like I wanted to lie down on the bed and curl up, but if I did that, I felt like I would evaporate without even leaving behind the shattered pieces of Gao on the boat.
And if it evaporates, I’ll be at risk of getting maceed again. Sobbing.
“Be back in the evening!”
I don’t know. The demon knight will sleep in the forest.
* * *
“Let’s go to Gruttelz right now.”
I was going to sleep in the forest…
“I would probably ask to rest, but this is not an ordinary incident.”
I had just found a sunny spot and lit some insect-repelling incense that was in the gift bundle I received. Before my back even touched the rock, the Archmages, including Dev, came to me.
It was too early a visit to even find out anything.
“Tatara… maybe it could be something more than that.”
Are you lucky that you weren’t sleeping? Or is it bad luck that you can’t get any rest?
It’s a shame that the motion sickness has gone away.
“Is it the devil?”
“It might be similar to that.”
As
I listened to the Archmage’s answer, I pulled out the two-hender that I had buried in the ground and tied it to my back.
“Guide me.”
It was a bonus to give instructions in a coercive and commanding tone. Even though the inside has been moist for a long time.
Huh Still, you can’t cry… I… I was an adult before I became a demon knight…!
I left the forest, babbling nonsense to myself. I thought it would be better to stay up all night instead of going on a boat, and it turned out to be a day where I ended up doing both.
“Now then, let’s listen. “I said it was urgent, so the devil knight came to visit me, but why are you doing this?”
But I guess Dev didn’t really hear the reason for the urgency. Dev questioned the Archmage as he left the forest.
“Did I not explain it enough? “I’m sorry.”
“I said it’s okay to apologize and just say something.”
“hmm. “We also have to listen to the Inquisitor, so let’s go back and have a proper conversation.”
Unfortunately, the explanation was delayed. I think it was because the Archmage didn’t want to make fun of himself many times, but it wasn’t a good thing from our perspective.
Anyway, out of the two ways to make people angry, the first is to stop talking and the second is…
well, that’s right.
“Archmage!”
Still, since I didn’t go deep into the forest, I soon saw the beach. The Inquisitor was wandering outside the village, leading five horses.
“I prepared as you said, but…”
“Well done. “Let’s leave right away.”
“yes.”
Perhaps because the Archmage knew that I had no preparations, he immediately cornered the group.
It really seemed like it was quite urgent. Even during Tatara—of course, I didn’t know what was going on at the time—I didn’t move this quickly.
“What on earth is going on?”
“Something happened to the sea dragon.”
First, each person got on their horse and gave a signal. The five horses started running along the road, shaking their heads.
“Isn’t that what you were already expecting?”
“Expectation and certainty are slightly different things. In addition, if the sea dragon itself had become corrupted, wouldn’t the story be a bit more serious?”
“yes?!”
“Are you saying that the sea dragon… has become corrupted?”
The two people seem quite surprised by her remarks. However, I was relieved.
What else can I say? I was wondering if some sort of attack would occur in Gruteltz, but the story about a dragon made me feel at ease.
I’ve been prepared for that part for a long time.
Oh, of course, it’s not like I expected it and endured it because there was an identical incident in the original. That’s not to say that there have been no similar incidents, but honestly, that’s where Raid’s background is…
Is there something huge? But is that not friend or foe? Then, if you get corrupted or something, you end up going to the raid.
What I’m more worried about is seasickness… But can I stop you from opening raids in the game? I have no choice but to just accept it.
“Look at this.”
In the meantime, the Archmage removed one of the hands that was holding the reins and took out something. It was an object with a sharp bone-like texture, as if it had been split.
“This?”
Since they were riding a horse, the two took the item and checked it in person. I haven’t necessarily received it, but I don’t think my current judgment will change if I do.
“It’s a dragon’s tooth.”
“Dragons…”
“And these are the ones killed by the demon knight earlier.”
I almost fainted for a moment. Those are the teeth of the water lizards I killed.
“Is this the one you saw earlier?”
“I see. “These are commonly called dragon diseases.”
The teeth turned into water lizards, or the water lizards turned into teeth. I can understand that. Because I come across a lot of settings like that.
However, what I am focusing on is that it is likely to appear as a mob in Sea Dragon Battle.
Whether it’s appearing in a jerk pattern during a boss battle, appearing through a gate before a boss battle, or whatever.
It’s quite tempting to know that you can obtain the dragon’s tooth material by killing it, but it’s also annoying to see it appear that way.
“How did you know this?
“The moment magical power was injected, it returned to its original form. This is a characteristic of Yongah Byeong. “I am certain because I have contacted the Magic Tower and completed verification through records.”
At that point, the Archmage changed his mind. As if the dragon disease itself is not important.
“Just the Inquisitor. “Even though they may not be Magi, didn’t you say that you felt negativity from them?”
“Yes. Even now… Ah!”
“You may have realized… maybe the sea dragon was eaten by negativity.”
“Wait, that means… Are you really saying that the cause of this was the sea dragon, Master Nari?”
“You are right. In addition, the entire West Sea may be ruined in the future. That’s what it means for the sea dragon to become corrupted. However, the question is why the sea dragon was caught illegally…”
That could be because the devil worshipers did something, or it happened by chance due to a violation of the laws of nature. I don’t think it’s a very important part.
How profound can a raid be if it has a profound setting? Above all, there are not many people who look after things like this. Well, I dig it sometimes when I need to when I’m working on a concept.
“Both the cause and the effect will be resolved if both are killed.”
“…Your extremeness sometimes makes me skeptical, but it looks like you might be right this time.”
The wizard shook his head with a somber expression.
“It would be best if you could purify the sea dragon and make it come to its senses, but depending on the degree of denial, you may have to kill it.”
Accordingly, the system window blocked my view. Thanks to
「❖ Corruption floating from the sea
∎ Finding a way to approach the sea dragon
∎ Finding and purifying the source of negativity」,
I was able to become confident. good. Whatever the cause, fighting a dragon is a winner.
“Then I guess I’ll have to speed up.”
But let alone fighting, how can you endure seasickness? Ha, future me, have a hard time.
* * *
Did the village chief say that it took six days for his son to get to the city? If you ride a horse, half a day was enough.
Even though it couldn’t stop the moon from rising.
“As the situation is urgent, I think it would be better to split up and move right away. “I said I contacted you in advance, but you will need to tell me in more detail face-to-face.”
As I listened to the Archmage’s words, a thought occurred to me.
Now that I think about it, did there exist not only a temple but also a magic tower in ‘The Legend of Heroes’? But why haven’t I seen it in the whole city?
“So I’m thinking of going to the Magic Tower and asking for manpower…”
“I’ll go to the temple. “Can you please share a piece of your tooth?”
“Of course. “Please, Inquisitor.”
I don’t know. I’m in no position to ask.
As I cleared away my doubts, I uncrossed my arms. This is because only me and Dev had nothing to do.
If I follow the temple, it’s obvious that I’ll run into a demonic issue, and Dev will never follow the Inquisitor alone.
Accompanying me to the Magic Tower doesn’t seem to have much meaning.
Honestly, that’s right. They are requesting manpower, so what do I do by accompanying them? Just watch. It’s not that I don’t want to take a look, but…
Oh, yeah. The Archmage’s history of discussing sealing methods must also be taken into consideration. The wizard said he would find a way, but would he use a temple? Use the Magic Tower’s research facilities.
For that reason, there are enough excuses not to approach. If I had followed along obediently, I might have been misunderstood? phew. I almost got in big trouble.
“You…”
I don’t want to listen to instructions just because I have nothing else to do! I desperately shook my head. It would have been easier if the quest had given him some instructions, but he doesn’t seem to be moving at all.
So what I can do, well, what I would like to do is…!
“If you’re going to talk about the Adventurer’s Guild, shut up. Because I don’t know that one thing.”
I’m the only pure adventurer, so why else would there be an adventurer’s guild?
“okay. “Please take care of that place.”
The problem is I don’t know what to do there. Is it okay to just keep track of trends? is not it. Should I report the incident to the administrative officer? So that we can summon adventurers right away?
“Then I will follow Nari. “It’s not something that the back alley guys will interfere with.”
“go away.”
“Are you confident that you can explain on your own, Knight?”
Fact assault is painful. If you were to explain it for me, the main body is SanQ.
“Then go ahead and do your job. “After we finish our business, let’s gather at the adventurer’s guild.”
“yes! See you later!”
While the Archmage spoke, I glared at Dev with my back to the moonlight. Of course, Dev just whistled and calmly looked away.
In any case, the shamelessness of the thief cannot be defeated.
“….”
flutter.
Still, I can’t give up on Kkanji.
I was the first to leave before anyone else left.
“Because let’s go together.”
But after taking a step, I realized one thing.
It’s my first time in this city, so I don’t know the location of the Adventurer’s Guild.
“But have you ever been to this city?”
…I should have dropped Dev to the Archmage somehow! I held my eyes shaking endlessly and quickly thought of the following scenario.
Why are you following me? Try one more time and ask if you didn’t hear me tell you to turn off. The timing is not too late. But would he be the type of person who would go because of that?
Second, admit that you don’t know. Since it’s a cafe, there’s no need to think about it.
Thirdly, I got lost just wearing it. Is this the only path left for me…? Still, it would be better to try the first one and then meet the final ending, right?
“What about you?”
But before I could turn around and open my mouth, someone made a noise. Since it was night time and there was no one walking around, we couldn’t even think of winning because we thought we wouldn’t be the target.
“Isn’t he a demon knight! “I didn’t know I’d see you here!”
“Do you know someone?”
No, I don’t know.
I furrowed my brows and looked at the person approaching me. Maybe I’ve seen it somewhere before, maybe not. Still, the pendulum is tilted more towards the unknown, so who is it?
“What are you?”
I don’t know, but is there any way that I would like the concept of a situation where I know the rest of the day? I asked with a not very friendly attitude.
Rather than being surprised by that, the other person just smiled and laughed. The mouth opened between the long sideburns, and yellow teeth and a tongue covered in tongue coating were visible.
Sometimes… no, often I get bothered by details, and now is that time. Brush your teeth, you old man. I also bought expensive salt and willow leaves and take care of them every day.
Dev wasn’t doing it, but since I was taking care of it, he was secretly following along.
“You don’t remember? Well, from your point of view, it makes sense. “Still, I’m a little disappointed.”
In the meantime, it looks like we really are acquainted. I don’t have any.
My eyes narrowed.
“Why didn’t you get drugged in Tatara while trying to stop you from going into the sewer? I saw it in front of the burning house. “Weren’t you also there when I explained things to the Archmage?”
Um ah ah. Ahhh!
I finally remembered. Actually, I don’t remember it completely, but I have a vague idea of it.
So, you’re saying he was the one who received the antidote before he was killed?
“Are you sure?”
Dev asked me subtly. Since it is a thief class, it will be a bit sensitive to things like this. There is such a thing as camouflage and disguise in the world, and thieves know it best.
“So, business.”
Instead of saying that I remembered, I treated the subject with a cheap attitude. Dev would have roughly understood this.
“I didn’t have any business, I just asked because I was happy to see you. Isn’t my life saved thanks to you? Oh, did you receive a gift? The people who care for us decided to gather various things and give them to you. “I just left my stuff and left, so I haven’t heard any news.”
Rather, this person. That’s a bit much to say.
“Don’t worry, I’ve seen you get it well.”
“Oh really? That’s a good thing. “But you…?”
“I am a person who has been traveling with the driver, Nari, for a while.”
“I see. “I guess I don’t go around with the Archmage or the Inquisitor anymore.”
Dev must have seen my twitching lips and the corners of my eyes—acting, of course—and started responding.
Of course, there was no need to tell everyone every single detail, so Dev didn’t bother to answer about the group.
“Oh, I’m sorry. That was too long. If we arrived now, we would be in a hurry to get to the inn. Or are you looking for a bar?”
for a moment. Doesn’t he know the location of the Adventurer’s Guild? But if you ask me, doesn’t that go against the concept?
“If that’s the case, I can recommend it.”
“Oh, it’s okay. “I’m going to the adventurer’s guild.”
Debugh! Can’t you just ask for directions from there?
“This late at night? Is something happening?”
“If there is something, there must be something.”
“I see…”
There’s no way you’d ask, after all. I turned around, swallowing my tears.
“Oh wait. “The guild has moved the building, so I won’t be able to find it if I go to the old location. Can I guide you?”
But a coincidence like this happens here?
While I was trying to get lost because I didn’t know the way, someone I had been indebted to before showed up and naturally showed me the way without having to worry about the concept?
“…take the lead.”
Snowball is the best!
