Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 430

Episode 430 Declare Now (3)

I finally escaped from the office after saying that I wanted to study alone. I felt like I had barely escaped the devil’s den.

“…Are you gone yet?”

But when I went out into the hallway, I saw Lord Sapphire and Lord Zrya who had left earlier. It was as if something was just staring at the office door, waiting for me.

“Because I couldn’t say thank you.”

“That’s enough. “It wasn’t something to be thankful for.”

“no. “I cannot neglect the grace I received as a knight of Munmund.”

This… I don’t think we’re talking about anything just now.

“Then and now. thank you.”

Well, if it weren’t for me, Munmund itself would have been blown away, so there’s nothing strange about expressing gratitude every time we meet. It’s a bit burdensome for me, but whatever.

“Okay, if it makes you feel more comfortable, do that.”

Separately, they feel a little uncomfortable because they have to keep following the commandments. I understood it too, but accepting it with reason and accepting it with emotion are different. As of now, the latter has won and this is what caused this uproar.

“…I’m sorry.”

But why is this person apologizing again with a scared face? Have you done something wrong to me? And that too without my knowledge?

“what?”

“If only I had restrained myself a little…”

“It seems like something you should say to your group rather than apologize to me.”

“But because of me, you wasted time…”

Ah. I definitely wasted some time. Normally, I would have gone straight to study after getting some snacks and delivering a packed lunch.

However, it only took about 30 minutes to mediate the fight and decide the punishment in the Oval Office. In other words, there is an ambiguous aspect to receiving an apology. After some quick thinking, I chose the word no.

“It was just a way to get some air, and nothing much has changed from what I expected. “I won’t take any comments on that part.”

The other person’s simple eyes drooped downward. It didn’t seem like I had much to do with it.

“If you have nothing else to do, let’s go.”

Still, it would be a bit difficult to waste more time than this. I walked briskly, subtly showing that I should not catch him. The two knights seemed to have more to say to me, but they didn’t say anything more.

“…Meister?”

However, by the time I reached the accommodation, I could see an unexpected visitor—you can even call him a visitor since he came first.

“Why are you so late?”

“The conversation with the magic tower owner took a bit longer. “But why are you back already?”

I don’t know if he came here to sleep for a bit in the early morning after midnight, but there is no reason for him to come here at this time.

“The lunch box has changed.”

“ah. ”

I roughly took it out of the inventory, but it looks like I took it out wrong.

“I’m sorry for making you take such an unnecessary step.”

“it’s okay. “The atmosphere there has become chaotic because of the situation just now.”

“Is it that bad?”

“That’s not it. “I have to clean up broken reagent bottles and reorganize materials, so it feels like I’m trying to catch my breath overall.”

“is it.”

After changing the lunch box, I placed the snacks I had brought with me one by one on the desk. Meister’s face scrunched up like a parrot that ate a lemon due to the sweet drinks, snacks, sandwiches, cakes, and puddings.

“Have you finally developed a problem with your sense of taste?”

“I don’t like eating sweets with rice, I don’t hate sweets themselves.”

And what does this kid not know? When studying, you need to take sugar supplements at the right time.

“What are you saying?”

That face that says I don’t understand. You seem like a person who doesn’t eat sweets while doing research. I also chew and drink something similar to coffee and something similar to chocolate.

“So do you have anything to say?”

Okay, seeing as this guy has been around for this long, I guess I have something else to say. Otherwise, he would have left immediately after exchanging the lunch box.

“We prepared five designs each.”

“design?”

“Weapon and shoe designs.”

“ah.”

He looked so busy with research that he couldn’t even bring himself to talk about it and was anxious… but it seemed like progress was being made. I immediately focused on his words.

“Once we decide on one, we will start production right away. However, there are parts in each design that require special materials, so I came to ask about what to do with them.”

“What do you mean by special material?”

“Something expensive.”

Meister explained his reason by making a circle with his thumb and index finger. It couldn’t be a very blatant and realistic reason.

“Now, first, here are the shoe designs.”

“…It’s gorgeous.”

“There is no problem with convenience. “It also matched his usual style.”

“It seems so.”

I was impressed by the designs that maximized artistic beauty without compromising comfort.

Janghwa also majored in costume design, so if the two meet, they’ll be a really good match. I ended up giving up fashion and changing my career path to becoming an art academy instructor because wherever I went, I was always getting a lot of seniority. But it’s still an art industry.

“What is the difference between each?”

“The first is to focus on physical attack and defense and push the performance to the limit…”

After all, I was told everything about the materials used in each design, the resulting performance, and the price, which was still extremely high even though it was discounted at the end.

I guess it’s time to sell Biryuho’s nails that I’ve been saving.

“First of all, it’s a bit difficult for me to decide on a design. “I’ll let you know by tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Still, the price seems a bit reasonable… I rolled up the designs, wondering if I should choose between the shoes and the weapon.

“Leaving it to you was the best choice.”

Maybe I should have spent the money more extravagantly. Or should I complete at least a simple request before leaving? As for the request here, it doesn’t seem like anything special…

Ah, I’m a little worried about this. If I think about it, I should have left some investment money aside. I was so stupid.

“of course.”

“okay.”

Still, I don’t regret entrusting it to Meister. What are the chances of entrusting a custom production to a master craftsman without a reservation? Even if it means scraping out your soul, you have to save money.

“I’m going.”

Separately, as if this was all there was to do, the meister, whose nose was pointed at the sky, was just preparing to leave. Suddenly I remembered something that was in my inventory.

“Oh, while you’re here, take this with you.”

“What.”

“Beef jerky. “It’s good to eat when you’re feeling bored.”

For your information, this is not beef jerky made for eating when living outdoors. A proper snack jerky made with all kinds of spices instead of adding less salt.

“Why didn’t you give it to me earlier?”

“There were a lot of people. “There aren’t enough for them all.”

Although it is a gift in return for grilled food, this type of beef jerky is quite expensive. In reality, the amount I received was enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

So what can you do? Even when there are no eyes to see, I have to share it little by little. Or you can pop it in the mouth of the not-so-plumpy one.

“I wonder what they care about…”

Meister grumbled like that, but continued to pack the beef jerky. Now it’s time to really see off.

“Research is good, but do it while taking care of yourself.”

“Uh huh.”

“…At least give a sincere answer.”

“It was completely sincere.”

It seemed like he wouldn’t eat it, but judging by his half-hearted response, it looks like he really has no intention of taking it. Yeah, I thought so. I just gave up.

Hawkeye waved his hand at the pink girl he had been seeing often these days. Then the girl also waved her small hands to his rhythm. It was truly a lovely sight.

“Hey… isn’t that you?”

“huh?”

However, there was one person who felt uneasy about it.

After the pink girl disappeared, Hawkeye glanced down at the words of his best friend Crusher. The comrade, whose gaze is intertwined only when he lowers his head, is filled with anxiety, whether he knows it or not. It was all directed at him.

“Then of course not!”

“…every time you say that, you really must have said that.”

“You have so little faith in me!”

“Put your hand on your heart and think. “I guess I trust you.”

Crusher is too much! Hawkeye whined to her along with those thoughts. But Crusher never took back his words. I just glare at him with tired eyes.

“…If you’re going to kill me, just kill me quickly. “Don’t play around.”

“It’s unfair! When did I make fun of you! And how can you tell if that person is truly coming with a pure heart or is a devil worshiper and then kill him!”

“Fuck, you’re approaching me with the face of a dead person. Does that mean you’re a normal human being?”

However, her facial expressions like that are not completely unfounded. There are quite a few things I have said and many things I have not said.

“Next time we meet, take me to the temple. “Just soak it in holy water.”

“Crusher, what if the other person is really an ordinary person?”

“I don’t think you are an ordinary person either, so you are accepting this behavior now.”

So it can’t be helped that Crusher grabs him by the collar and pulls him.

“Get rid of that scarf within a week. Or I will kill you.”

Hawkeye’s expression softened at Crusher’s words. Like a person who had no expression from the beginning.

“okay.”

As always, only the cool north wind blows through the streets.

“My head is going to explode….”

“Are you going to hold on to that piece of paper while you eat?”

“That’s not true.”

I will clean up after the meal is served. I’ll just memorize it until then.

I mumbled my opinion and then touched my forehead. I felt like my eyes were going to fall out.

“Adventurer, are you sick?”

“No, it doesn’t hurt.”

“Please eat this. “They say ginger tea is good for headaches.”

“Ginger tea?”

“The child bought it and made it himself.”

Isarncol placed a bottle of water on the still empty table and poured it into my glass. It was inevitable that it got cold due to the cold wind, but I could clearly feel the sincerity put into it.

“thanks.”

“lol.”

I patted the child’s head. Oh my, I’m disabled, oh my, I’m kind. They even brewed ginger tea for me, thinking of me. I should at least buy some snacks when I go.

“So why did you ask me to see you alone?”

“Oh, I wanted to ask you something.”

I laid out the design I received from the meister today on the table. Because the tables are narrow, they overlap, but it’s not a big problem because you can check them one by one.

“This is…”

“It’s normal for the giver to decide on their own when it comes to gifts, but I thought this wasn’t a matter for me to decide on my own, so I called to ask for your opinion separately.”

I pointed out the designs one by one and called out the features and advantages of each design. Berserk, who had been listening with his arms crossed, remained silent for a moment.

“This must be his work.”

“…Is it very unpleasant?”

Although he was embarrassed, he seemed to accept it, but wasn’t he leaving it to the meister? I was getting restless and quietly prepared to retrieve the pattern.

Anyway, the Pyongyang governor said that if he doesn’t like me, that’s it. Even if a meister’s skills are good, it will be useless if you don’t like Berserk.

“No, it’s okay. “I think this is good.”

Fortunately, Berserk took pity on me and selected a shoe design that maximized physical attack and defense. It was fortunate.

“So is this the end now?”

“No, there is one more thing.”

I also presented a weapon design. silence. Berserk showed a different sense of calm than before. If you were unable to speak just now because you were trying to control your emotions, this means you are close to being at a loss for words.

“Wow. cool.”

Isarncol, who had been missing in the meantime, picked up one of the designs. That’s what I thought was the best thing even when I heard the explanation. The cost of the material was so high that I couldn’t decide right away.

“I said shoes would be enough.”

“Isn’t the weapon broken?”

If she had said she had gotten a good weapon here, I wouldn’t have interfered… but she didn’t say ‘I found something good’ all week. In other words, she couldn’t choose what suited her heart.

To me, it was no different from a signal that it was okay to intervene.

“I can also entrust the custom manufacturing to you.”

“I guess so…”

But I can’t push him when he’s making such a strong expression. There was also the problem of not having enough money to push ahead with it.

So, I tried to persuade him a few more times, but then realized that my words had no effect and quickly brushed it off. It’s a pity for the Meister, but the weapon case is cancelled.

“I was very suited to the weapon fighting game earlier…”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“yes.”

“Let’s get some food. “It looks like dinner is coming out right now.”

“Sure.”

I congratulated myself on having succeeded in gifting shoes, and accepted the food that was about to be served. As expected from the restaurant chosen by Berserk, who wandered around the city because he had nothing else to do, the taste was very good.
