Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 27

◈Episode 27 In front of the fruits of choice (2)

“You bastard! Demon knight! Are you out of your mind?!”

Naturally, the miracle of logging out while sleeping did not occur.

Instead, what greeted me was the Inquisitor, who was fighting with each other, and the Archmage, who was tying me up with a dev binding and looking down at me with wary eyes.

“…Do you want to die?”

Even if you want to destroy it, you don’t have a weapon. I took one look at the chains that bound my body and looked at the Archmage with contempt.

She studied me for a moment and then smiled.

“I was just preparing just in case, so don’t get too angry.”

The chain broke into pieces and disappeared. It was like looking at my social standing.

“….”

I held the knife, distorted my face, and internally swallowed tears.

I couldn’t even log out, so I just tried to overindulge in the remaining time and kill the concept personality.

I never thought there would be an ordeal that would turn it all upside down.

pain. It’s so painful.

But I can’t stop now… I took a

deep

breath and completely threw away the blanket.

The hem of the cloth that had flowed as he raised his upper body was thrown onto the mudbadak. When I glanced at it, it seemed to be the Inquisitor’s – I was able to tell them apart because they each had different colors.

But so what? This was all something they brought upon themselves. Damn, I tried to change, but they were the ones who forced me to continue with my bad temper…!

“…Do you need to cut off those irreverent eyes to turn your head away?”

Just try to survive this time. I guess I’ll never use a concept again. I never thought I would receive this kind of karma for a concept question I did for fun.

“It’s not hot!”

In the midst of all this, he is so bright about what these harsh words are good for…!

I am angry and angry in many ways. Kimchi dumplings, especially you, man!

Gradually.

I climbed on the horse without hiding my bubbling feelings. This was possible because the bonfire was already set up and there was no luggage thanks to the inventory.

Oh, by the way, I don’t have a cape or blanket. Because of the system, I don’t need to worry about body temperature—if I had, it would have indicated the temperature as well—so I just sleep without it. If you fall asleep through the system, you may not feel the cold or anything.

This was one of the reasons why it was difficult for me to consider this place real. Of course, the biggest reason is this concept issue!

“Hey!”

“Hey, please wait a moment!”

Oh, I don’t know! I want to do it again!!

“Demon Knight!!”

“lily!!”

Ugh!!

* * *

After running while just looking at the horses in a trance, I almost reached Tatara.

Is it because a very serious problem has occupied my head? I didn’t feel very tired, but the others looked like they were about to die.

“Where will you go first when you enter the city?”

I don’t listen to kimchi dumplings, I don’t listen, I don’t listen!

To avoid the misunderstanding that it was a lie and that I was a devil, I took a carefully calculated action – I ignored it.

That’s right, I was in a position where I was temporarily taken over by the devil. If Kimchi Dumpling hadn’t noticed—damn it would have been nice!—the demon that had taken over his body might have harmed the people around him.

But what about the Demon Knight’s past? The family was massacred by the devil. In other words, it is perfect for receiving trauma stimulation. Naturally, you can’t help but feel nervous, and this is expressed as a thorn in the side of people around you.

For example, ignoring or turning away. By pushing away for others and for ourselves.

But even while interpreting it, I feel ashamed of my face. If I don’t do that, I’m afraid I’ll face the same situation again.

How did I end up like this? I want to solve the concept right away, but I can’t do that anymore. I’m so embarrassed I feel like I’m going to die.

“Are you going to go straight to Mabel Store…?”

The Archmage, whose already white fur had finally cooled down as if it had been bleached, asked. It was the correct answer, but as expected, no answer was given.

“Let’s go…”

“Are you okay, Maisie?”

“…Let’s endure it a little longer.”

I rode at the lead and checked Tatara’s appearance.

However, the barricade placed on the bridge connected to the city was particularly noticeable.

These were things that weren’t there when I left.

“…! “It’s a person!”

Even the guard on the guard post became busy the moment he discovered me. It doesn’t seem to be hostile, as it doesn’t attack even though it’s within range of the arrow.

“Why do you feel bad?”

Dev must have seen the same thing, so he said what I wanted to say. What follows is the stiff voice of the Inquisitor.

“…I can feel the magic energy in the city.”

It was another way of saying it was ruined.

“Is that really true?”

“I’m not sure. But I’ve only ever felt this kind of sensation… when I was face to face with the devil.”

Well, it wasn’t something to consider new. Since the quest was to go to Tatara, it was obvious that something would happen here.

「❖ What’s hidden behind the scenes

∎ Go to Tatara

∎ Investigate what happened to the city」

It was just my job to find out what was going to happen.

“Stop right there!”

A guard ran out from the guard post and stopped us. Of course, it would have stopped even if it hadn’t been for their words. The barricade—made by tying logs into an X shape—was placed without any gaps.

“Reveal your identity!”

I was thinking about leaving it to the Inquisitor like I had done until now, but then changed my mind. If I didn’t want the pot to be broken by the Inquisitor, I had to interpret the concept properly from now on.

My hand took out an adventurer’s card from my inventory.

Hwiik.

“Huh!”

When I threw the card over the barricade, the soldiers caught it in a panic. It was as if it had been a hand grenade that stung the person who received it and the people around him retreated.

“A certain adventurer…”

Still, I just wanted to prove it.

“Are all the others adventurers too?”

“Oh no. “No, I do have an adventurer’s group.”

The Inquisitor was confused about his job for a moment and then just held out both the relic and the adventurer’s card. The guards’ eyes became watery.

“You were a priest!!”

Although priests seem to be treated as a whole in terms of the world, their reactions feel somewhat excessive. As if I had witnessed someone come to save me from a drowning situation.

“Then why did so few people come?”

“…I don’t understand what you mean.”

“yes?”

And the next moment, the guard asked with trembling eyes.

“Didn’t you come here after receiving a messenger?”

It was the sound of the board getting bigger.

“…The priest and we just came to this city to run some business. Is there any problem?”

The Archmage, who restrained the Inquisitor with his hand, stepped forward and asked a question. From the moment she recognized the severity, her eyes no longer drooped from fatigue. Only coldness shone from his eyes.

“That’s…”

The guards looked at each other and then spoke in quiet voices.

“Let’s go inside first and talk.”

After several security guards clung to each other, barricades created a narrow road.

“It’s a messenger… It looks like it’s still happening no matter what happens.”

While letting the precious horses pass first, the Archmage stroked his chin and said. Then the hand creeping up from the side belongs to Dev.

“…It’s late, but can I say something?”

“Something?”

“I saw quite a few signs of fighting and blood stains on the way here. At first, I thought it was a sign of being hit by bandits or wild animals… but seeing the guards talking and their tails running around, I got very suspicious.”

“How many were there?”

“Even if the castle lord goes away, how many years will you have to take a break from managing it?”

So, can we understand this as saying that more incidents occurred than average?

Moreover, unlike these three people, I have one more piece of information. The second quest solved here is the emergency rescue request.

Memories of the original are unfortunately useless. There was nothing like this there.

“Didn’t you see it wrong? “If security on the highway had not been properly managed, we would have been attacked at least once.”

“Oh, who doesn’t know that? But the robbers said it was a messenger. “Stupid Heretic Questioner.”

“What did you say just now? stupid?!”

“yes! stupid!!”

The Inquisitor and Dev fought again, but that’s a scene I’ve been watching for several days. I easily ignored the nervous warfare between the two people, which I had become quite accustomed to.

It was around that time that the security guard who was gesturing for me to come inside opened his mouth. The helmet, which was of better quality than the other guards, gave off a gloomy glow.

“Those who come into this city will not be attacked.”

“Right now, grab your wrist—what did you just say?”

“Those entering the city will not be attacked, priest.”

As soon as I heard those words, the situation immediately came into view.

It looks like the demon contract bastards are only arresting those leaving while neglecting the incoming crowd. Considering what I heard and saw when rescuing the upper part… they’re probably going to use it as a sacrifice, right?

Ah, is this why the story about Mabel Company came out? By messing with those who came from a commercial association?

But anyway, if you’re doing a trick on the entire city, you’re bound to get swept away as a result. I thought it was a different incident because they only talked about the Sanghoe.

“Well, what I said is right.”

“Everyone shut up.”

“What about those who leave?”

The Archmage asked a question. I was very grateful to them for interrogating me.

“Thanks to the few people who came back alive, we found out that everyone who went out was attacked. Even so, we still have to ask for help…”

“You kept sending messengers.”

“I thought at least one person survived to tell the story.”

Well, if you’re trying to carry out a trick on the entire city, it’s safest to isolate it. Even if support came from outside, the plan could have been in vain, so they would have tried desperately to stop it.

I walked a step away from my companions and quietly traced the whole story. As I got closer to the city, my right arm started to itch.

“Is there anything else special about it? “What are barricades?”

“The barricade was ordered to be erected by the Lord of Seong, who was worried that the city might be attacked. And other unusual things… the number of missing people has increased rapidly.”

“What has the temple done so far?”

“…The temple is currently in a situation where it cannot be moved.”

“yes?”

“The priests were the first to notice the abnormality and moved, but…”

The guard spat out the rest of his words as he ordered the gate into the city at the end of the bridge to be opened.

“Most of them died while dealing with the demons that occupied the sewer.”

This was a somewhat elaborate story. Because my tutorial mission was cleaning sewers.

However, at that time, only goblins appeared, but now, what has appeared and the temple is in trouble?

“You bastards… they’re doing such a stupid thing…”

This is a crime that will probably have to go back into the sewer. My nose is already hurting.

“I guess you noticed it too.”

“Do you two have any guesses?”

“It looks like devil worshipers are at work. However…”

The mage’s eyes landed on the inquisitor. Her voice naturally lowers to a level where the guard cannot hear her.

“In the worst case scenario, we may have to abandon the city.”

“what…!”

“…Hey, Master Nari. “Is the situation that serious?”

“The situation itself is similar to what happened in Somon. I guess the devil contractors are hiding, collecting sacrifices, and working based on that. However… unlike Somon, who numbered only around 30, the people used as sacrifices this time…

are impossible to count. Considering what happened to those leaving the city, I think it would be more than a hundred units at best.

This means that you will be able to see at least five knuckles.

“Please go in. “Priest.”

“Oh yeah. Thank you for your help.”

“…Of course it should have been done.”

…But when you say it like this, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Who was in charge of balance?

“That priest.”

“yes.”

“Can we… survive?”

I stepped through the open door, remembering the knuckles caught in two rooms.

“That…”

“Yes. You can buy it! “I will buy it!”
