Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 89

◈Episode 89 I Want to Talk (5)

I would have given you a tip too, but there really is nothing to do anymore.

I led Dev outside. There wasn’t much time left before departure and people were just starting their day, so we had to go quickly.

“Are you going to the port? “I’m going with you.”

The destination, Baramsondo Port, where I stopped by briefly—it was natural. The ship couldn’t set off without him—he was with us.

“Let’s go to the port.”

“yes.”

“Oh my, people have already gathered.”

“But it’s not coming.”

I could already see people snooping around as the news of my visit here had spread.

However, no one approached easily, and the guide clumsily chose only the paths where people would not gather. He was not the person Seongju named him for nothing.

So I checked the sword again without worry. The sword that came out of its scabbard cut through the light, revealing its matte elegance.

It was so beautiful.

It was really short.

“…Can you write it?”

Instead of answering Dev’s question, I sheathed my sword. This is not something I can write about.

“Take it.”

So what should I do? It’s a good sword that I can’t use, and I don’t want to keep it lying around or sell it, so I’ll have to pass it on to someone else.

“yes? to??”

I threw the sword at the meat dumpling and soothed my sore stomach.

I was already planning on buying a kukri substitute, so although it was disappointing, it wasn’t a waste.

Rather, it felt like fate. Although it was a judgment made by eye, it was a similar length to the kukri that Dev used.

I can’t believe it made a sword that would be nice to give right after I broke it and ate it. If this is not fate, then what is fate?

What’s disappointing… It’s just that it’s perfect for my taste, so as long as there are ingredients left in the mainland, I can just make it again, so it doesn’t really matter.

I handed over the sword with relief.

“Are you giving it to me?”

“oh.”

On the other hand, when I handed over the sword, Dev’s eyes opened wide. He must have been quite surprised to see that he was asking such a stupid question.

“really…?”

Then who will I give you or who will I give it to? You can’t give it to Windson.

Since he kept moving forward without answering, it seems like he somehow got an answer. Dev lagged behind for a moment but quickly caught up to the side.

“Thank you, Nari.”

He was a guy whose thrilled face made it worth giving as a gift.

“Are you here?”

After a competent guide, we arrived at the port. The boat seemed to have already been prepared and was floating on the water with people on board.

“Are you ready?”

“yep!”

“Then raise anchor! “It’s time to go!”

Finally, the wind hand that boarded the ship waved its hand. The anchor was hoisted and the oars began to work.

“Hey, look at this.”

“What.”

“Nari gave it to me.”

“…!”

“You didn’t get anything like this, did you?”

“That that that something.”

The sound of two dumplings arguing at an elementary school level on the deck was mixed with the wind and passed over the gunwale.

“Wait a minute!”

And when the ship was moving away from the dock and was about to unfurl its sails. A person came jumping up and down from afar.

The person standing on the dock has a pocket in his hand.

“Hanta?”

“Hey!”

At that point, I straightened my body leaning against the railing to leave.

“I left too much money behind!!”

“hmm?”

“Oh, isn’t that the money bag that Nari gave you?”

“How much money did you pay for that guy….”

“Is there a crazy person who would pay 7 million gals?!!”

“…??”

“…7 million gal?”

…I don’t know. I don’t know.

“lily?”

I walked slowly to go downstairs, regardless of whether people’s attention was focused on me or not. It was in the next moment that one more voice was added shouting from the dock.

“Demon Knight! “You left behind the money for killing Vipurit!!”

…Eight! Everyone is so oblivious!!

Come a little later!

* * *

After threatening to kill anyone who wastes my time by turning back, I was locked in the room I was assigned to, ignoring everyone who tried to talk to me.

I was very fortunate that they gave me a private room. If not, I would have suffered a lot.

“…I brought rice.”

Well, why don’t you bring food directly to the captain? And then, “You’re such a bastard…” I think he was already suffering by the time he said that line.

No, I said I couldn’t help at the risk of being criticized, but I never said I wouldn’t help!? If there is a way to help without a cafe, why can’t you help?

Of course, since you don’t know that, you’ll be thinking, ‘Why is that bastard so fickle?’

Anyway, I didn’t want to see that happen, so I ate everything in my room and didn’t go outside.

Actually, the bigger reason was that I was very motion sick.

Honestly, I still feel like throwing up.

“Are you still sleeping?”

“…What.”

“I called you soon after arriving at the mainland.”

Still, time flew by as I slept through each day. Traveling to the nearest mainland city, Canaves, rather than the distant Grutelc, probably also played a role in their quick arrival.

After all, I touched my forehead for a moment due to the dizziness that came over me right after I woke up, and then hurried out.

The Archmage, whom I had only met a few times in the past few days, looked at me lukewarmly again today. His gaze was filled with satisfaction, as if he were seeing his grandson who had accomplished something great.

“…Do you want to have your eyes gouged out?”

“Huh, can that be possible?”

I knew this would happen and planned to leave quickly.

I suppressed my emotions. If you get angry like this, you will have neither porridge nor rice.

“When you arrive, stop by the Magic Tower first.”

Fortunately, the Archmage helped with that.

I tried to calm down as much as I could about this new topic.

“The sealing sphere has been completed.”

Well, as a concept, I have to make up complicated feelings.

“….”

In the past, as soon as the story of the sealed sphere came out, people would have gone on a rampage, saying they were making fun of their tongues… but now that they have exploded, it is different. It’s also a fact I’ve already heard.

So instead of asking what to do, I turned my back to the Archmage and held his right arm tightly. He relaxed his shoulders and bent his back a little, so he would look very distraught when seen from behind.

In reality, I have a confused mind and wonder, ‘What is the effect of the sealed sphere? If possible, I wish the fury skill could be permanently deactivated.’ I’m thinking the same thing though.

“Don’t worry too much.”

No, I’m not that worried.

Even if you do it at best, what is the sealing sphere effect? Permanently disabling the fury skill is the best, but if the stats are reduced, it’s a different story.

Hmm… I guess not? Isn’t that a stat reduction?

More than two months have passed since the start date, so there’s no way a balance patch will be done so soon.

“That’s just a precaution. It’s not because I don’t trust you…”

I took my step before the Archmage finished speaking. thud. My feet, which required some strength, creaked down the wooden hallway.

“know.”

The Archmage’s words were completely interrupted.

Thump thump.

I climbed the wooden steps leading to the deck. When I appeared in the room, everyone, including sailors, looked in my direction.

“You…”

The most passionate one was the wind hand. He brought me a meal, but I guess that’s because he didn’t give me a chance to talk a few times. There are dozens of words he wants to say on his face.

“It would be best to turn away before you get disrespectful attention.”

But my concept doesn’t feel good right now. I growled and slowly approached the gunwale.

The blowing wind tickled my forehead and made my hair shake.

“Ah, demon knight. “Are you out?”

However, someone tactless approached me without knowing what I was thinking. Although others were angry, she remained steadfast.

“Did you have dinner? “I was worried because you didn’t come out of the cabin.”

Was the Inquisitor this sociable? I glared at the person who was talking in front of me.

I’m not sure if he was that worried about me not being seen or if he was just growing up.

But one thing is certain….

“Devil Knight. “That thing.”

His eyes twinkled nervously, as if he was expecting something.

“Well…”

“So you’re here?”

“…!”

But before the Inquisitor could finish speaking, Dev intervened. The sword I gave him as a gift is hanging on his waist.

I wanted to ask him if he liked the sword and if it fit his hand, but I just kept silent due to the concept.

Meanwhile, some sparks flew between the Inquisitor and Dev. I thought we had gotten closer, but it feels like things have gone back to normal.

“no. “I’m just going to go help!”

And at the end, kimchi dumplings were the first to go. The justification was sufficient. Because she still had a large piece of luggage in her arms.

However, why does the retreating light look lonely?

I looked around to see if there was any problem. But there wasn’t anything that caught me off guard.

Did I… do something wrong…? No, it wasn’t like you looked at the person who did something wrong, right? Wasn’t it too flashy for that?

“lily.”

Did you think about it for a moment? Gogi Dumpling, who had kicked out Kimchi Dumpling, started talking to me. “Prepare to dock!” As we near the mainland, the deck is slowly getting busier.

“Well. It’s not my place to say, but…”

I watched the commotion and held Gao with my arms crossed. Dev, who was standing next to me, quietly whispered to me.

“Is there anything you can give to Wall Changho?”

With that one whisper, realization came immediately.

Dev received something so he also wanted to receive something…!

The contents of a parenting book I read while researching materials that said children should not be raised with discrimination passed through my mind.

“Bullshit.”

“Well, isn’t that right?”

The problem is that the concept is not the type that goes around handing out gifts.

I reflexively kicked it away and desperately racked my brain. Dev also had a hard time, but if I had to choose the person who had the most trouble, it would be Inquisitor, so I couldn’t just ignore it.

It’s true that my hair is attached there thanks to the Inquisitor.

I glanced at Dev’s sword, which was at least an excuse to dispose of something useless. Since I gave Dev a sword made of dragon scale, the one I would give to the Inquisitor should have been something like that…

Unfortunately, the things the Inquisitor uses do not overlap with mine. As soon as you make it and give it to them, it sounds like they’re going crazy.

If I were to do this, I would like to at least feed him something he likes, but this won’t work either, right? I guess the conditions are not good, right?

I felt sadder than the moment I saw that the finished sword was short. There were a lot of things I wanted to say and do, but I was blocked by the concept and couldn’t do anything.

It was a deplorable thing.

“More than that, the temple is here to meet you?”

“They are additional deployment personnel.”

“Ah, Archmage.”

“Of course, there will be people who came to meet the hero. Isn’t this incident so big? “I wrote a report and reported it, but there are many people who want to hear more details.”

“…Does that mean you work again?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of that. In the meantime, you should rest well and recuperate first. Or maybe it would be a good idea to decide which city to go to next.”

“That’s a good thing.”

Is the next city the problem now? There is nothing I can give the Inquisitor…

I swallowed back tears, saying that I wanted to at least apologize. Is it true that you treat your favorite person the harshest? It was real tears.

“Now you guys get off, get off!”

Still, you have to disembark. I jumped out of the boat while listening to the wind hand.

At a glance, I could see sailors belonging to companies such as Grida and Macaran transporting supplies from the dock to the ship.

ridge.

「Kanabeth」

And I guess my feet have just touched the dock.

Maybe it was because I had been on a ship for a long time, but the steady ground felt unfamiliar to me for a moment. It was a precursor to land sickness.

“Nari, let’s go together!”

Deb landed behind me while I stayed still for a moment to fight off land sickness.

He always cries and says he’s not a superhuman, but if you look closely, he’s not an ordinary person.

“Me too…”

“You can’t run! “Is there any reason to harpoon the dock!”

“Huh.”

Meanwhile, Kimchi Dumpling, who was trying to follow us, was caught by a scared Baramson.

It was worth it. I don’t know when I first put on my armor, but if I jumped off the ship wearing that, the wooden dock would have been smashed to pieces.

The expression on the face of the Archmage next to me seemed to have aged drastically in a moment.

“Climb down the ladder calmly!”

“Okay…”

Eventually, under the watchful eye of the Wind Hand, the Inquisitor came down the ladder with the Archmage.

It’s cute, but I can’t take your side when it comes to this matter.

“Do you have brains or not?”

“Poetry is noisy.”

“Ugh.”

Well, kids of that age tend to want to follow what people around them do.

…is not it? I remember the time I was 20 a day or two ago, but I’m not sure now that it’s been over 10 years. It doesn’t matter because it’s not that important.

“for a moment!”

I slowly moved my feet to get out of the gun port. The wind hand that came down after the Archmage called to me.

“Damn, I didn’t know it would be the last time I said this…”

I realized that this was the last moment I would have with him through Baramson’s words.

He was not a member of our party, and it was difficult to include him in the party.

Unless we go back to Jakrathi or get tangled up again with the pirates in these waters, we won’t see the Windhand again.

“….”

So I gave him a moment. Perhaps because he was nervous, Baramson found it difficult to speak.

“If you have nothing to say, I’ll leave.”

But my concept is final and I am not the type of person who will give preferential treatment. I coldly turned my back.

“thank you. “I really wanted to say this.”

Immediately after, a thank you message poured out.

“The Heretic Questioner was a bit harsh in the beginning, but I am grateful to him for doing his best until the end… My hood friend and the Great Sage… I owe you a lot in one way or another.”

“…It was something that had to be done.”

“I didn’t do anything….”

“Not much to say.”

Once the words were spoken, they continued smoothly. The others looked embarrassed at the sincere greeting. Even though I was continuing to move forward with the mindset that my concept was, “You take care of it, I’ll go my own way.”

“And… I am most grateful to you, Demon Knight.”

But I had no choice but to hear that greeting.

“Thank you so much… for saving my hometown and my family. “No matter what anyone says, you are Zakrati’s hero.”

Is it because of the troll act at the end? I became embarrassed for no reason. I think it would be better for the Inquisitor to listen to that rather than me.

“Are you still calling me a hero after seeing that?”

Based on those feelings, I gently grabbed his right arm and nudged him to retrieve the horse.

“It’s ridiculous—.”

“If you’re talking about the moment you saw above the magic circle, didn’t the priest say that?”

What came back was a voice mixed with laughter.

“I don’t know what your situation is. Because I didn’t listen closely. But at least I agree with what the Heretic Questioner said then. “From what I’ve seen, you never lose.”

I felt like I was caught off guard.

“So you are a hero. “No matter what anyone else says, it will be that way for us forever.”

But if that’s unpleasant, well. It wasn’t that big of a deal because I was worried that someone might think it was the mother and the son.

“Besides… we are ready to repay this favor at any time.”

Although it might be cringe-inducing, it might feel good.

“Call us anytime if you need our help. Wherever it is… I will gladly run to it if you call me. “Okay, knight, sir?”

Boys’ comics weren’t popular for no reason. Although my face was really hot.

“for a moment.”

At that time, the Inquisitor came forward. I don’t know what he was trying to say, but it brightened the mood.

Now, say anything except something that agrees with what I said! In the meantime, I will escape this moving place!

“Me too… I also have something I want to say.”

Just as I was about to turn around and leave without answering, the Inquisitor took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

“Regardless of the relationship between Jakrati and the temple, crime is bad!”

I almost lost my step.

“uh?”

“So, end piracy!”

“What…?”

“With your abilities, wouldn’t you be able to help others without having to remain a pirate anymore?”

“…!!”

“Do you understand?”

I could barely resist the urge to burst out laughing. This is because it somehow reminds me of faces that I cannot see because they are turned upside down.

“…Are you saying that you know that I will have to be imprisoned for 50 years to stop piracy?”

“I do not know! But you can’t call something right that isn’t right!”

“Fuck yes! haha! Okay, I got it! “Next time, I’ll greet you with honor, warrior!”

Ah, I tried to escape the emotions of boy comics, but it got even deeper. I don’t hate it either.

* * *

“Sir!”

We gradually left the dock, receiving salutes from the pirates. The priests who had been waiting at the port came rushing in.

“I was waiting.”

I felt anxious for a moment as if they were coming to get me, but fortunately that wasn’t the case. They celebrated the warrior’s return and presented a warm welcome.

“But why are you already here? They must have sent a message that they would stop by the temple later…”

“That is…”

However, just because it is a formal meeting, there is no way that an incident will not occur.

“sorry. “There was a problem with the dragon carcass that was being stored.”

My…my reward!!
