Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 42

◈Better Daum than Episode 42 (7)

The man who volunteered to guide me was truly a great talker.

He says that Gruteltz is his hometown, he was originally a pirate, but he quit his job and became an adventurer, he quit being an adventurer after the Tatara incident and came back to his hometown, and now he’s helping out at his brother’s tavern. They talked without stopping for even a moment.

“Be patient.”

The problem was Dev. If it were just me, I could pass it off as good because my ears weren’t bored, but Dev was mistaken and I couldn’t pass it up.

In other words, he had to act angry in order to meet Dev’s expectations.

“…You should take a look at yourself.”

No, it’s true that my concept doesn’t like that kind of chatter, but I can’t stand it so openly.

Did you think I was going to pull out a knife? I didn’t come up with the concept to go that far.

I have no idea what kind of image Dev is misunderstanding about me.

“Here we go.”

“Gru Teltz: Adventurer’s Guild”

Anyway, I arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild. I opened the door of a building that was unusually large compared to other cities. Even though it was night, several lights were turned on inside.

“Yes, this is the Adventurer’s Guild Grue Teltz Branch.”

The secretary welcomed us with a somewhat arrogant attitude, with his feet up on another chair. I must have been working on my fingernails, so I lifted my head half a beat late.

“what. “I heard you’re retiring?”

“This is my business, not mine.”

The tanned skin and bright brown eyes characteristic of beach people looked back. His eyes, which I couldn’t tell if he was lazy or lazy, met his blonde hair and gave him a somewhat gangster-like impression.

“Wow, you have a new face. “What brought you here at night?”

Still, it seems like he hasn’t completely let go of work. As soon as he saw us, he lowered his legs and straightened his upper body.

“A request story about a sea dragon.”

I threw the adventurer’s card toward the window before the clerk asked. Perhaps because the pre-action was shown regardless, the secretary easily won the hand.

“It’s been verified… but are you Sea Dragon?”

“If you say that, they won’t understand.”

Fortunately, I had a tongue to fill in the missing words of the concept. Dev stepped forward and explained the situation.

“What?”

“I can’t believe such a big thing happened!”

The adventurer who unexpectedly decided to join me instead of going was indignant, and the secretary had a sad look on his face. He didn’t look like he was about to hear something completely out of the blue, but he wasn’t full of trust either.

“It is certainly true that the weather has been unpredictable these days and the catch has been low… but there are no other circumstances that have been discovered. In this city, there is a magic tower in addition to a temple, so if there was devil worship, it would have been noticed long ago.”

“That remains to be seen. And whatever the cause, it’s clear that the sea dragon was consumed by negativity.”

“Still, it’s too early to believe what happened…”

“No. It must be real.”

“Hey you.”

“Why would a man who received a medal from Tatara tell lies?”

“Wait what? Medal of Merit?”

The secretary suddenly widened his eyes and stared at me. What follows is a plea in a trembling voice.

“Can you show me…”

“What does this have to do with that?”

“Even the guild cannot ignore the remarks of an adventurer who received a medal. Even if the evidence supports it, it will take some time to confirm the facts… If the medal adventurer’s remarks are added, that time will be greatly shortened.”

After all, the world only accepts you if you have money, fame, or something like that. I searched through my inventory, realizing the truth once again.

The medal drew a parabola and landed on the secretary’s palm. Although he was making a fuss while receiving it, he bounced it a few more times.

“…Isn’t that a waste of money?”

“It’s just a meaningless form.”

Is there any reason to regret it? A demon knight is someone who ignores wealth and fame and is obsessed with revenge. I put on a nervous face.

“Really….”

Meanwhile, the officer who had determined the authenticity of the medal began to speak. A dry tongue skimmed the lower lip.

“Is there really a problem with Sea Dragon?”

“I do not know.”

“I heard there was a problem?”

“I have no hobby of judging something without seeing it in person. “I just live with the possibilities.”

The secretary licked his lips again at my words. Then, he said this while returning the medal.

“I will immediately raise the matter to the top. Please wait a moment. And hey, send some news to the adventurers. “There may be an emergency request.”

“okay.”

Somehow, I felt like I had achieved as much as I could in the Adventurer’s Guild.

* * *

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

The Archmage was the last to join. No matter what the cause of the temple, since corruption has appeared, they should have stepped forward and said that it is their problem, but the Magic Tower is different.

According to the Archmage himself, unlike the temple, the magic tower returns to reality or something.

Moral issues—mostly related to the devil—come to the fore in their own way. Because these types of issues usually involve losses, they are reviewed very rigorously, like a critical issue. Like now, when it’s late while reviewing the evidence.

“Isn’t the Great Sage a high-ranking figure in the Magic Tower? “Why are you so particular about baking?”

Dev asked, sitting cross-legged on the stacked boxes. The Archmage shrugged his shoulders.

“Not all great sages have real power.”

It was an admission that he had no power. It was not shameful, but it was an extremely plain voice that acknowledged the truth.

“okay.”

“That’s right. From what I heard, it was said that he led to more cooperation than expected. “Thanks to you, I will save time.”

“Saving time means…”

“It’s literally true. Thanks to the Inquisitor, the news must have reached the castle lord early, and if the Adventurer’s Guild comes out like this… even if it doesn’t happen, an investigation team will be formed the day after tomorrow.”

I felt nostalgic when I heard those words.

okay. That means I have to get on the boat tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. with pleasure. I have to walk into hell again.

“Then, can I assume that you will be deployed in two days?”

“That’s not it. The main team will be sent only after the investigation team confirms the facts. “We will probably be included in the main unit.”

So to speak, that is the difference between the advance guard and the main force. This means that the date of the Sea Dragon Raid itself cannot be promised.

Although it was good that the day of boarding was so far away, I was worried about what to do in the meantime, and my mind became restless.

“Also, since there is a high probability that we will have to fight the sea dragon, not only do we have to find out the location of the sea dragon and come up with a way to fight it, but we also have to find a ship to withstand the sea dragon…”

“It will take a very long time. So what do we do in the meantime?”

“There is nothing fixed. But, as always, we can find something we can do.”

What this means is that you should kill time by doing other things. It was a common pattern in universal games.

Of course, in such games, when a player talks to him, he says, ‘Oh! Are you ready! ‘Then let’s go!’ It’s common for people to skip the pre-preparation, but anyway.

Anyway, what have you been talking about? Should I at least ask for a request that can be done here? It was already a problem because I was only spending money and not getting any income.

“Then…”

Sigh.

If you have made a commitment and the conditions have been met, you should move right away.

I got up from where I had been leaning before the Inquisitor finished speaking. As I straightened my back, I felt the dull touch of the two-hender on my back.

“Where are you going?”

I hate wasting time. All of the requests here take a long time, so I’ll have to accept them as soon as I can.

Above all, if I sit around and don’t receive requests, I’m the devil! There were three people who broke their heads while doing this. Even if I wanted to rest, I had to move.

But, is there a limit to the number of quests you can receive here? Then… it won’t be a problem. Because there didn’t seem to be many requests for me to do.

It seems like it will take a long time to prepare for the raid, but wouldn’t it be safe within a week?

“Uh…adventurer?”

“request.”

As the day dawned, the guild became busier, but the number of office workers also increased. I proudly asked one of them for a recommendation.

For your information, neither the adventurer who guided us here nor the office worker who served us are here. Everyone went to do their own thing.

“You’re not actually a descendant of a dragon or a golem made of iron, right?”

“I will join you too!”

Dev, what is he saying? The Inquisitor is as cheerful as usual, so it’s just that.

I glanced at the dumplings that provided the cause, then approached the secretary and received a request. I didn’t want a request about a demon, and what I wanted now was a mission that would kill time but was acceptable in the concept.

“The only thing you can do right now is…”

However, like last time, there were various conditions, so there weren’t many options given to me.

“I guess this is it. Would you like to take a look?”

To be exact, there was only one.

“The pirates who were running rampant on the southern coast are slowly coming to our side. We are planning to launch a large-scale subjugation, and this is a job request regarding that. Recruitment ends in the next two hours. The rest is all bounty hunting. All you have to do is cut off the head of the pirate presented to you. “There is a high possibility that it will become meaningless as there is a large-scale sweep today.”

Or one category.

“What would you like to do?”

In other words, it doesn’t change the fact that I eventually have to get on the boat either way. At this point, it was fate.

“….”

“Are you okay? “You look like you’re very seasick…”

“Yes? “Are you seasick?”

As I remained silent, the Archmage spoke needlessly. I was already thinking about that part, but the comment I just heard made my decision.

The corners of my mouth trembled and the muscles around my left eye slightly frowned.

“I will do this.”

Ugh. Why are you asking when you know that it doesn’t have to hurt your pride to make it happen? Are you actually harassing me?! Is that so!?

“Is this really okay?”

Wow.

I gritted my teeth while disguising my expression, barely suppressing the urge to whine.

I’d like to say it’s all an act, but is that possible? Now was the moment when I had to hold back tears. If you try to be emotional now, you’re a kaebung.

“It’s none of your concern.”

I cut it into pieces and said it, straining my eyes. It wasn’t very difficult. All I have to do is look at the anger welling up inside me.

Fortunately, my eyes were not that bad in the eyes of others.

“Don’t overdo it.”

I’ve already been overdoing it for a long time, so isn’t this a statement that needs to be applied?

I glared at the wizard who gave me the bottle and medicine and signed the request form. The observant clerk quietly announced that the contract had been concluded.

“As you may have noticed, you must go to the indicated location and join the city army. “Until 8 o’clock today.”

Even if we were to say a large-scale sweep, it would involve a sizable fleet touring the main sites of pirate activity. I feel like it’s a good thing because it’s just to kill time.

They say the conservatives are worth 10,000 gal per head, but I don’t know how many pirates they say that. Wouldn’t it be fortunate if you could at least make some money?

“We will be with you too.”

“In that case, you have to present the adventurer’s card…”

The party tried to follow, even though it was a contract they concluded almost arbitrarily. I wasn’t very happy.

If it weren’t for those guys in the first place…

Oh wait. The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

“Oh, it would be better for this old man to stay here. “There has to be someone to monitor what’s going on.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“I don’t have an adventurer’s card.”

“How about making something new?”

I suppressed the seething resentment and turned around. The three-pronged hem fluttered once like a bird’s tail feathers.

“Oh please wait!”

“Ugh, do I have to take a test to make an adventurer?!”

“We don’t accept anyone as an adventurer.”

“Ugh.”

Let’s be patient. Let’s be patient. There is a saying in the world that if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it. This may also be an opportunity.

This is an opportunity to get rid of seasickness. I don’t know if seasickness is really a problem that can be covered up with familiarity.

“Demon knight!”

“I just hate moving without compensation…”

“Then will you stay here?”

“That’s it. I also have to experience the ship…”

I tilted my head back, recalling the location written on the request.

It looks like the Archmage will also be left out. Will it be possible for me to lead these two dumplings and endure seasickness?

I suddenly became anxious.
