Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 72

◈Episode 72 From the beginning (7)

“I was receiving a promise from the devil knight.”

“What kind of agreement is this?”

Dev, who had followed most of the dogs he had seen earlier, asked the Inquisitor. She answered him clearly.

“A promise that when I point out a person who is infected and is planning to become a zombie, I will not harm him carelessly.”

“…yes?”

The expressions on Dev’s tails’ faces, which they unintentionally listened to together, became astounding. At the same time, the atmosphere of the crowd together.

“Hey, does that mean it’s here…?”

“there is.”

“This is the port.”

“okay. So, we need to resolve it as soon as possible…”

On the other hand, Dev’s face turned pale. I felt a little confused because I thought I knew what he was thinking.

I can’t help you, but I’m sorry for messing things up.

“As expected, the religious ones—!”

Then someone shouted. Did you say Boss Rahong? He was a very old pirate. The wrinkles and scars on her face showed her age.

“Something you can trust—!”

Then our eyes met. I didn’t think anything of it, but Rahong himself was so horrified that he swallowed his words.

“you you.”

In the meantime, the wind hand approached with a thud, thud, and asked tremblingly. His hand is gripping the Inquisitor’s shoulder. It is much more moderate than the collar.

“Those words, those words…”

“…It’s not a lie. But don’t worry about that. “I don’t throw away the opportunity I barely got.”

If I had heard this sound during the dragon slaying or when we just met on this island, I would have tried to kill him.

However, Windson experienced a man called Inquisitor for several days. And honestly, the Inquisitor was such an easy person that you could figure it out in a day.

“I believe it. believe.”

That definitely elicited a different reaction.

“So tell me. who is this? Who the heck…”

“Wind hand!”

“tell me.”

The Inquisitor’s red eyebrows fluttered once. As soon as the green eyes start to spin, they stop in one place.

“It’s standing there.”

People’s eyes turned in anger. A little away from the store, there is a middle-aged young man standing on an oak barrel.

“…?”

A young man who suddenly caught my attention asked a question mark.

“Is there something wrong with me?”

He even glanced back thinking people were looking behind him, but when he realized they weren’t, he raised his finger and pointed at himself.

Judging by his youthful face, I’d guess he was in his late teens or early twenties, but thanks to that, he looked even younger.

“Oh, wait a minute, knight-”

“Wow!”

But now it’s my lunch… no, this sounds a bit different. Prey… Target to kill… Wait, I don’t plan on killing you right now. Before infection, even the concept of hating demons could have been given some time.

In the end, I gave up on dripping and pulled the young man’s body down.

A young man a little shorter than me was trembling. I was so nervous that I didn’t even make a sound, which pricked my conscience.

“Let go of that child!”

Rahong, who was being weighed down by my force, let out a roar.

“How dare you point out my crew!”

Seeing as he was prone earlier, I didn’t think he would yell at me easily. Still, the captain of a ship was the captain. When his crew became entangled, he burst into flames.

“If you all stay quiet, I will kill you with my own hands!”

“…! “Rahong stop for a moment!”

“Stop! “Didn’t you see they were helping us!”

“You saw that battle earlier, right? “You must not turn them into enemies!”

“Everyone get out of the way! “You must have heard what he said!”

But I was a concept master. Of course, they did not listen, and Rahong even tried to pull out his weapon.

It would have been a bit difficult if others hadn’t stopped him. It’s not like it’s not difficult right now, though.

“Can’t we please resolve this peacefully?!”

At the same time, just as Rahong was about to let out his second roar, Dev, who came over and grabbed my arm, whispered desperately.

To the person who has solved everything by force until now. Even now, it was not something to say to someone who was trying to solve the problem by force.

“Let go…!”

“Oh my, Nari! “You know that if you touch anything here, we’ll all be ruined…!”

“I just want to tell you something about that part.”

“What is it!”

“That person can be treated now.”

“Why are you saying that now?!?!”

But is there a peaceful solution here?

“I was going to say something! “It’s just that I couldn’t speak about it carelessly as I had been advised that it was a sensitive topic!”

“No, you idiot!!”

“Don’t say vulgar words to me!!”

“What are you saying, idiot!!”

Oh my, dumplings! Who would have thought that stubbornness would do something here again…!

“Wait, there’s a cure?”

“You said there was a cure?”

“No, no need! “No one believes that bullshit!”

“Wait a minute Lahong! “I told you to wait!”

Haha, that’s bullshit.

On one side, Rahong is running wild, and in front of me, the Inquisitor, Dev, and a few others are talking loudly, and the crowd around me is shaking with anxiety. I slowly raised my hand as I saw the total mess.

Quang!

Although the ground was made of rocks, the sword engulfed in pitch-black magical energy penetrated like soft tofu. In addition, the audience became quiet due to the loud noise and vibration.

“Tell me in detail.”

Among those who had been frozen by my demonstration of force, Deb was the first to move. cook. When his elbow jabbed the Inquisitor, the Inquisitor spoke like an answering machine.

“If the infection and union have not fully progressed, purification is possible by selecting only the demons within the body. However, since the time taken now is limited, it could become dangerous if it is delayed any further.”

That’s right. Doesn’t that mean that if we just purify it now, the problem will be solved?

“Choose.”

I was the first to react, saying that it would open a way for everyone to survive. Before anyone else could say anything, he grabbed the tooth he was holding in his hand and shook it.

The young man who was still being held by my hand instinctively shook his body.

“Are you going to die by my hands or be treated?”

“Yes yes?”

Oh my, why is it so light even though it’s shaking? Aren’t you done growing up? Why is it so small? Are you eating well?

I calmly continued to think about the concept, mulling over words that had no meaning to be conveyed in my mind.

“I don’t recommend it twice.”

“Ugh! Now just wait a moment. “I still don’t know what you’re talking about…!”

“Please Nari. “You have to explain and then ask!”

“Put her down now!”

“Hey Rahong. “What’s the problem if you say you can purify only the demons inside your body?”

“Everything is a problem! “How can you trust what the temple says?”

The leader Rahong shouted in disbelief as if he was struggling.

“I!”

But, interrupting her, the Inquisitor raised his hand. That immediately caught people’s attention. Intense crimson hair fluttered around the neckline.

“I know you can’t tolerate me. However, the moment the brain is eaten, the person becomes irreversible.”

“Shut up the church!”

“The desire to save that person could kill him!”

“Shut up—!”

“Divine power!”

The Inquisitor was not such a soft dumpling. As Rahong’s voice grew louder, the Inquisitor’s voice also grew louder.

I didn’t mean to use evil. I was just shouting out my heart out.

“The power of purification does not harm the human body! If you have any doubts, just give it a try! “He won’t get hurt one bit!”

“How can I trust you guys?”

“I’m not asking you to trust me! “I’m asking for a chance!”

Wow, your voice is so loud. It is a sound that will resonate throughout the secret port and even extend all the way to the sea.

“I’m not asking for forgiveness, I just want you to give me a chance to save someone who’s dying!”

At the same time, the words were true. I somehow felt like I knew the moment when I persuaded the people of Zakrati through conversation.

“You—!”

“Hey, that knight.”

Just as Rahong was furious and was about to lash out, the young man in my hand trembled and called to me. After hearing Dev’s condensed words in just a few moments, he is about to make a judgment.

“I think I’m infected, right?”

“No, no, Lianti! Don’t be fooled by what they say. you…!”

“Then, would you like to take it? “That treatment.”

“Lianti!”

“Captain Hick.”

The young man’s name was Lianti. The young man once again shook his head at Rahong’s call.

“That captain! I know the captain hates the church, and I don’t either, but…! If I am truly infected, other people will also be affected. So once in a while… wouldn’t it be okay! They said there was no harm to me during the examination. Would the person who saved the port lie?”

Is it because of my new breasts or because I have a surprisingly strong heart? The young man expressed his opinion clearly even while observing Rahong’s feelings.

Then Rahong’s face, and the faces of quite a few others, changed to that of a shocked person. Most of them were Slander or older looking people.

“That is a religious order.”

“Yes eh. “It seems so.”

“It’s a religious order.”

“…I see, right?”

“But how can you tell me to give you a chance?”

“But our lives are at stake.”

At that point, a realization dawned on me.

Judging by face value, Rahong appears to be at least fifty years old. On the other hand, this young man is at most in his late twenties.

Of course, since this was an incident 40 years ago and the parties involved are from all over the place, there will be no animosity just because they are from the next generation… but

the people involved and those who have only heard about it are bound to be different in the end. Not only do you care about your colleagues, but your own life also depends on it.

“It doesn’t hurt, right?”

“Depending on the progress of the infection, you may feel a bit dizzy.”

“How much?”

“If it started eating your brains, a lot? Or does it just make you feel a little nauseous? There may be side effects depending on the amount of brain consumed.”

“…Can you do it quickly for me?”

“Lianti!”

“Hi.”

“How dare you!”

“I’m sorry! But captain, I don’t want to be a devil! “I don’t want my brain eaten, and I hate it even more when I end up attacking my colleagues!”

“what…!”

“I want to live and go to my hometown…! “The captain said he would do the same.”

The outlaw’s henchman let go of the young man’s arm. There was no need to hold on anymore.

“So please just take a look. please.”

Instead, Rahong’s knees fell.

* * *

“Boss!”

“You two bosses!”

Windson’s heart seemed to pierce as he looked at the kneeling person.

I couldn’t help it. Rahong’s knees were not her own. It was a knee that represented him and everyone who shared that moment.

Pirates, urban forces, and civilians. This means that he is the person who shouted here on behalf of everyone who remembers that day, regardless of their occupation, gender, or age.

“…How how…”

“…Boss.”

“How about a denomination?”

“…You’re young, aren’t you?”

“But, the Church has done something to us!”

The vivid scream was like a dagger, piercing the hearts of those who had endured the same period of time.

Yes, I only stabbed the existence of the same generation.

This was a fact that could be known just by looking at the faces of those who deeply felt Rahong’s cry and the faces of those who could not.

“…yes. Yes. But he’s sixteen now. “He was born 24 years after the incident.”

“….”

Our old hatred has now become ours alone.

“The kids who didn’t go through that… “You know it’s hard to hate a religious denomination as much as we do.”

“But but…”

As he smells the day’s ash from the charcoal pile, the children, who are his age, only think about scribbling and playing.

“Rahong.”

“Even you, Windhand. Have you forgotten too? How could even you….”

“How could you forget? “Hey, just because I have a young face doesn’t mean that I’ve lived as long as you have?”

“Then how…”

“It’s so fucking shit. It’s so fucking shit. Hatred still lives and breathes in this heart, but as time goes by, all the bastards who remember it die. “Whenever I get the slightest chance, I still burn with the memories of that day, but those damn kids look at me strangely.”

“Then why…”

“Damn it, I can’t lose my family again!”

Windson silently knelt before Rahong.

Those burning days when our foreheads touched each other. It reminded me of the warmth of the day I was struggling, hugging a complete stranger and telling him to please let us survive together.

“We can’t make our family experience something like ours again…”

It was so sad.

“Hey Rahong. Let’s bear with it just this once. Even if it’s hard to bear, let’s endure. “We will forever live on the burnt ashes, but they shouldn’t.”

It was so sad…

“This kind of life is enough for us.”

* * *

The cold meal was terribly tasteless. Still, if you want to live and move forward with strength, it’s right to fill your stomach.

“I did receive the requested information.”

I greeted Dev by stuffing a wilting leaf into my mouth. Thanks to the consideration of those in charge of the port, the tavern became our own restaurant and rest area during our stay.

“data.”

“Yep.”

I put down the stack of papers Dev had brought me on the table. A world without Excel is also inconvenient, so I had to read every line to understand the content.

“How was the treatment?”

“That ended well.”

As I was staring at the documents, the Inquisitor answered without gulping down his stew.

I think there were a lot of potatoes, meat, and other things in my mouth. I swallowed it all in one go.

“What are the results of the port search?”

“That was okay too.”

For reference, right after treating the young man earlier, the Inquisitor and I walked around the entire port just in case. I was wondering if there were more infected hosts.

“Dozens more were discovered, but all of them were treated.”

“Dozens of people?”

“Someone procured ingredients containing parasites here. “Those who ate it became parasites.”

“…betrayer?”

“Nothing has been revealed yet.”

“Where does the food come from?”

“We are urgently gathering and interrogating everyone who has access to the food warehouse. However, the food itself was obtained from outside….”

“It would be difficult to catch the culprit. “The situation is really complicated.”

The situation is too bad to say things are going to hell.

Be it a traitor, a spy, or at least a mistake. There is nothing much to say because it is structured so that everything can be said. The question is what happens after we leave.

“But that doesn’t mean I will stay until the traitor is revealed.”

That was also correct. If the quest to find a traitor was official and required, there was little reason to stay and help.

Unlike Dev, Nana Inquisitor was not helpful in hunting down traitors.

In addition, the longer we endure here, the more disadvantaged we are.

If you stay and defend, it will be helpful right away, but it will be like giving the enemy time. I want to avoid, as much as possible, giving them time and then summoning strange demons.

I will leave here as quickly as possible and run towards the end of this quest.

“If you’re worried about this place, you can ease it a little. “There was a wizard who came here to do research, but an incident occurred and he ended up here, so I decided to tell the story to the main team through him.”

“Oh, I heard that story. From Jakrati, I even went to the mainland temple to ask for help. Thanks to this, we were able to receive reinforcements right away.”

“…I’m just grateful for the opportunity.”

Oh, then there won’t be any big problems if we leave. If reinforcements arrive right away, at least we will be prepared.

Or you could transport people to the rear.

thank god.

“Then at least this problem is settled. It looks like there will be no more discord with the temple. “What’s left is to catch Vipurit?”

yes. The immediate goal is to attack Vipurit’s gang’s base, but the ultimate goal is to attack Vipurit.

“…You’re not going right away, are you?”

Are you going to attack the base? I’m a bit tired, so I’m going to take some rest.

I reflected on how reckless I had been – but I had no intention of correcting it – and handed over the documents.

Immediately after that, I finally understood correctly—perhaps—what Dev had said, omitting the subject, which I had understood from the other side.

On the map, the castle where Vipurit was located was clearly marked. It was a different place than the one Baramson knew.
