Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 176

Episode 176: Even at

the beginning of (4), I didn’t have the devil knight in mind before I logged in.

It’s natural that most of the pasts of playable characters in games end up as macguffins or are revealed during the story.

However, when it occurred to me that this place might be real, I was half prepared.

It would be fortunate if the body was created when I logged in, but there was also the possibility that I was possessed by a pre-existing human body.

However, even though I knew it, I deliberately ignored it. I don’t know if it was the former, but the latter was an escape because it gave me too much to think about.

However, if the time came and a situation like now was known, I had no intention of running away.

As I always say, my life motto was, ‘Nothing is as useless as saying it can’t happen, so it’s better to focus on the present.’

“What does it mean to be full of questions and speculation?”

─It’s not as meaningful a story as it sounds. Because you moved alone without reporting your whereabouts, all sorts of rumors were added. There aren’t many eyewitness accounts of how it moves.

But will it really be possible this time?

─That ha there. Let me be blunt. When eyewitness accounts come in, they all say things like, ‘They only hear stories of criminals or demons and then leave,’ or, ‘It seems like they have a grudge against killing them.’ Who wouldn’t have doubts? People who like talking about others have probably said it all at least once.

Will I be able to withstand the weight that has come upon me by focusing on the truth given to me?

─Is this the end of your question?

Can you overcome this turning point in your life like you did once?

“…It’s the last time. “How could you be so sure?”

─Uh, I don’t know what it means?

“I am the same person I was back then.”

─Ah. That’s it… Because you’re using the knight’s name?

“…?”

─…? If you impersonate that article, you will be stopped. This is especially true if you are an enemy of any group, be it an adventurer or a mercenary. Nevertheless, since you are freely using the knight’s name… Also, you are the only adventurer to have been given the knight’s name in the past 40 years. So of course I assumed it was you…?

I don’t know. I can’t be sure right now.

“…Confirmed.”

Whether it’s an ordeal the size of a house or an apartment, when you see it right in front of you, it feels like an insurmountable wall.

─Well then, do you mind if I ask you a question?

“Say it.”

─Is there anything I should do about my unclear memory?

I remained silent in response to Lord Bergart’s question.

Because it has to be done. Did you say that because you knew there was a devil in your right arm? Or does it simply mean that he will worry because I am his benefactor?

“does not exist.”

Either way, there was only one word to choose from. I ended the communication with that.

While we were talking, I turned my body, which had been leaning forward, to the other side. Phew. A soft sofa supported my back.

“Do you have anything else to do?”

“okay.”

In addition, I was able to go out to the wizard without notice, and I was able to have time to think alone. My right hand rested on my eyes.

There are so many things that come to mind that it’s almost annoying to hear.

But it’s hard to stop thinking.

I also worry about whether all the facts I’ve heard are the official character’s past, a reflection of a concept I created, or someone else’s actions.

If the demon knight from two years ago wore different equipment than this, I wonder where the one I’m wearing now came from.

If it is a reflection of the concept, there are doubts as to what unknown force did this and if it is someone else’s actions, where did the real devil knight go?

It’s hard to stop everything.

“under.”

But unfortunately, there is no answer I can come up with right now.

Anyway, this wasn’t an answer I could have figured out without prior information. This is what I will hear from the system that carried out this trick… or

the real evil knight who has disappeared or is hiding somewhere.

“after.”

I was immersed in the darkness in my palm for a long time.

Then, the moment I took my hand away, I collected all my thoughts. Luckily it wasn’t that difficult.

This is a problem because there are a lot of hypotheses and speculations that come to mind, but the emotions do not fluctuate greatly and block the view.

Well, the reason is. I think it would have been helpful to let out my anger in the bathroom. I don’t have enough energy to cry, laugh, or get angry.

Just as a furnace without firewood cannot burn, it can be said that it feels like there are no emotions left to burn out.

“…what is the meaning of this?”

However, the feeling of skepticism that I had barely put off earlier came back to me so easily.

It’s not that I don’t understand.

Even though I already knew that it wasn’t a game, wasn’t I currently in a situation where I was stubbornly ignoring it in order to endure it easily?

But only when a bomb like this explodes in the middle of it all. Even if you make it completely understandable, it only gives you a vague sense of reality, so you can’t help but feel a sense of self-destruction.

“If it’s going to be like this.”

If there is no ending, there is a high possibility that all the fighting, vomiting, and struggling to see the ending will be meaningless.

Because it’s inevitable that you’ll end up wanting to quit everything and just bury yourself in a corner of the countryside.

“If it’s going to be like this…”

Or or….

I took my arm away from covering my eyes for a moment.

The right arm was surrounded by a gauntlet, and the skin hidden inside was clearly visible.

Maybe that’s not the setting.

“Damn it.”

Tuk.

I closed my eyes again without being able to utter one last word.

For the sake of all of you, I suppressed the last impulse.

No matter how unfilial I am, there are at least scenes I don’t want to see until the last moment. Even if all of this doesn’t reach you.

『Then that’s it. It’s okay to fail and it’s okay to fail. If you can give meaning to your life, I will support you with that.’

Because that will be the only thing I can give back to you.

Come on.

Also in the same vein, I chose to stand up once again. The ending may not have meaning, but it was a choice that relied on the glimmer of hope that it might be there.

Or, it could be that the reader wants to struggle even harder until he or she at least knows the full story of how he came to this point. Guts is the basic stat of most K-gamers.

The legs that were forced upright trembled for a while, but it was covered up after a few steps.

It was time to go on stage again.

Rattling.

“…It’s finally come out.”

“…?”

But when I opened the door to leave the room, the Archmage and Deathbringer were waiting for me.

Behind him, two people from Soseongju were watching.

“What.”

Oh, did you come looking for me? why? Leaving the temple without saying a word?

“You…”

Ah, now that I think about it, I think there are many reasons to come. In fact, it is right to come even if there are not many.

If a person who wakes up after 11 days leaves the hospital because they are unable to vacate the room, the guardian or the doctor in charge will have to come and catch them.

Actually, the priests in the doctor’s role had a hard time paying attention to me.

“Let’s go back to the temple first. I would also like to thank Lord Soseong for providing me with a seat.”

“It’s not that big of a deal. “Please rest in peace.”

“no. “I can’t bother you for too long.”

On the other hand, the Archmage, who was a guardian, tried to lead me by pronouncing this evil phrase.

The Deathbringer next to him is constantly looking sideways. A long sword dangles from nowhere in his arms.

“Business.”

I wondered why the Deathbringer was holding a long sword that he didn’t use, but I didn’t question it too much and just passed on.

Instead, he stood in front of the entrance to the living room, saying that the charming point was not to listen to what was said.

The Archmage looked angry but couldn’t bear it. It’s an expression that says he’s about to hit a goal.

“…That’s what you’re going to say now.”

“I! “I need to hear what’s going on, and I need to eat…”

But before the scolding turned into anger, Dev shouted loudly. That was something worth hearing.

You didn’t tell me earlier, but I wonder why you’re telling me again now. I’ve already heard some things from the owners of Soseong.

Still, I have to listen to the next schedule.

“…I don’t know if this is the right thing to do.”

“….”

More than anything, I feel really hungry after hearing the word meal. Damn, I forgot about it until now!

* * *

Did he ask Berserk for guidance sparring to compensate for his own weakness?

When once became twice and twice became three and I ended up forgetting the whole morning.

The Inquisitor naturally returned to the restaurant. It was lunch time, we were hungry from training, and we unconsciously learned that everyone would be there.

“Haha. hungry!”

“We’re here… uh…”

But what on earth is this atmosphere?

The Inquisitor gathered all his wits and rolled his eyes. The quiet restaurant seemed similar to usual, but somehow stranger.

It was a subtle difference that cannot be explained in words.

“oh! Comrades! “Are you awake?!”

“Are you awake? “Are you feeling okay?”

Of course, it is a good thing that the position of the demon knight that has been vacant for the past ten days has been filled. I was relieved to see him eating as it seemed like proof of his health.

But then…

“Berserk came because he was hungry too. let’s eat together.”

The Inquisitor looked at the demon knight eating in silence, and then saw the Archmage and Ptaenjili holding spoons on the other side.

In fact, the long sword that he was going to give to the demon knight as a gift is still in his arms.

Something is strange. I’m not sure, but it’s strange anyway.

She blinked.

“I…”

“Are you here?”

I don’t know. The Inquisitor looked at the effeminate-looking Archmage and then turned his attention back to Pteunjili.

Then he gave me a hard glare. What is the situation? Let’s sit down and have some food. A desperate glance was communicated.

“But what? “There’s a lot of food today!”

“…I thought you guys would come so I prepared it in advance. “Soup will be here soon, so if you’re hungry, eat something else.”

“Oh oh! thanks!”

I don’t know. Let’s sit down first.

The Inquisitor quietly watched the people’s expressions and, as always, placed his butt in the seat next to the Demon Knight.

Is this why he wakes up and eats after 10 days? In front of the demon knight, there was twice the amount of food he normally ate. There was also fish instead of meat.

“…Now that you’re here, let’s talk about the schedule.”

“yes.”

I’m glad there’s at least some fish.

She thought of the demon knight becoming increasingly gaunt and prayed that he would take this opportunity to eat as much as possible.

“I told you in advance that I would be moving back to Camburgh because the road from Ednium to other cities was inconvenient. I decided to make plans with Lord Soseong to return to Camburgh. So it looks like departure will be delayed by a few days. “I heard that Lord Soseong is busy.”

“yes yes?”

However, the Archmage’s explanation left her with doubts. Because it’s a little different from what she heard.

It’s true that we decided to adjust the schedule with Lord Soseong, but didn’t you say that you would completely adjust it to us?

“There has been no news yet about the devil who ran away with Biryuho’s body.”

It’s news of a devil who escaped there.

From what she remembered, the devil’s search had ended in complete abandonment two days ago?

“I am Archmage. “The news is…”

The Inquisitor tried to raise his hand to confirm the truth.

If she misheard, it was a serious mistake on her part, and if there was new news and she was the only one who didn’t receive it, it’s another problem.

Wow.

However, the pressure she felt from her feet instinctively stopped her from doing so.

The Inquisitor reflexively closed his mouth, narrowed his round eyes sharply, and stared at the seat directly in front of him.

‘Why are you stepping on it!’

‘Pay attention!’

There was a brief back and forth between the Inquisitor and the Deathbringer.

“Once the work is finished, I think I will go to Bemurgen next. “It takes over a month just to get there, but it is the place where the largest magic tower in the East is located.”

Meanwhile, the Archmage slowly laid out the matters that had been discussed and decided while the Demon Knight was asleep.

Although he spoke in a tone that told everyone, in reality, it was no different from telling everyone to listen to the devil knight.

“If you go to Bemurchen….”

In addition, Bemurchen is a city with the largest magic tower and at the same time a city that is at war with the Mermen.

The only thing he has to do there is fight, so he will especially need to be told to return his body to as good a condition as possible.

“…I think it would be a good idea to check your body one more time there.”

So that’s what she heard. The current Archmage didn’t tell me for some reason.

The Inquisitor wondered why the Archmage didn’t say that. However, I kept my mouth shut, thinking that there must be a reason for her not speaking.

Because there is a difference between misrepresenting something and conveying something without omission.

“So, if possible, please save yourself until then.”

But really, why did you say something different earlier?

She stared blankly at the table, thinking she would have to ask a question later. hungry. As I moved around all morning, the delicious scent of food kept creeping into my hungry stomach.

“As for other matters… Ah, Biryuho’s body is yours. How are you going to handle it? If you want to make something, I can connect you with a craftsman.”

“I will sell it.”

“…I’ll make appropriate arrangements.”

Fortunately, the Archmage’s speech was not long. It was a bonus that her share of soup arrived just in time.

Even if she grabbed the spoon, something unusual happened.

“…What are you doing?”

And there’s even a glare from a scoundrel.

Is it okay to eat it? The Inquisitor rolled his eyes a couple of times and then carefully held the spoon.

Even though Berserk was shoving the soup and other things that had already been served into his mouth to signal the start of the meal, it was fortunate that he could eat it now.

A silent lunch began.
