Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 394

Episode 394: Clean as pure gold (7)

[The amplification of divine power has subsided…]

After the meal, we heard about the situation on the front line. It was a report that felt like Suzaku and the Inquisitor were leading the story and we were listening from the side.

[Is the frequency of nightmares increasing?]

“Yes.”

[Seeing as the remnants of the curse were found in most of those who had nightmares, it is likely the work of the devil…]

However, I was still lacking in education, so I could not fully understand what they were saying. For example, they understand that it was the devil’s work, but they cannot guess who the culprit is.

[I guess I’m a sloth.]

“I’m a sloth.”

However, those with basic knowledge were different. Suzaku and the Inquisitor declared with confidence.

“…I.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Why is the conclusion like that?”

At that time, Deathbringer carefully asked Daniel a question. Since Suzaku was far away, he couldn’t bear to ask, and the Inquisitor was talking with a serious face, so it seemed like he was the next best choice.

In any case, he seemed to have figured out the identity in advance.

“Ah…”

I listened to that for a moment. I was also curious about the reason.

“First of all… The Great Demon of Lust may give you obscene dreams, but he never gives you simple nightmares. Because dreams are not in his jurisdiction to even cause nightmares.”

Daniel lowered his voice so as not to interrupt the report and explained the relevant part. The eyes that are not covered by the burn are slightly clouded with hostility and discomfort towards the devil.

“Naturally, the demons and followers under him cannot handle nightmares. “It’s natural because it’s a power that the Great Devil you serve can’t use.”

“Ah… so.”

“It is in the same context that sloth is singled out. “What he controls are dreams… and nightmares that make people lose their minds.”

But it’s a sloth… What is a sloth? Wasn’t it in a desert city? I think I’ve personally dealt with them in the midst of chaos…

“… That’s right. “You’ve dealt with it yourself.”

Yes. It’s him, right? The guy who was Duke or something. He showed me something like a strange vision, wondering if I was going to go to a nightmare—

“Ah.”

The moment my thoughts wandered to memories of the past, I became aware of a new fact. Was Faust watching that too?

“lily?”

“…never mind. “I just remembered something I had forgotten.”

I took a moment to guess what the boy must have been thinking as the vision of his family appeared and cursed him. I didn’t think it would be very good.

“However, if it is true that the Duke has appeared on the front line, things will become a bit more troublesome.”

“…?”

“The nightmares he showed seemed to be directly related to people’s trauma.”

Also, the scene where I got angry calling them family when they were raw noodles… And the absurdity of the boy who witnessed it…

Well, let’s forget it! Let’s forget it! I trampled on the memories so that they would not be refreshing and passed them on to the other side. I felt heat rising to my face.

“….”

“Why do you look at me like that?”

But why is everyone staring at me like that? Have I, by any chance, expressed my feelings of shame on the surface?

“Have you ever dealt with one?”

“…Is that so?”

Why don’t you recognize the face… Ah, Daniel wasn’t at the party back then.

“Ah, that’s right. “You did that when you were in the South, right?”

Fortunately, I think I remembered Deathbringer right away. I saw an illusion of an exclamation mark floating over my face, and my ears drooped. “It wasn’t a mess back then…” To be honest, I wanted to reply by saying that we were always in a mess.

[…You really have a deep connection with the devil. Anger, jealousy, stinginess, gluttony and laziness.]

In the midst of this, Suzaku, who was reporting, intervened. He, too, appears to be somewhat fed up and apprehensive, perhaps because he was unaware of the incident.

“…I understand what you meant, but it’s not a very pleasant thing to hear.”

Separately, since we only express that our relationship is deep, it can be interpreted in a different way. Rather, call it a bad relationship. The bad relationship itself is somewhat annoying, but it’s much better than the single word “Yeon.”

[Oh, I’m sorry.]

“It’s okay….”

“Anger, jealousy, stingy, gluttony, sloth. Oh, oh. “If I meet lust and arrogance, I will become the first human to meet all seven great devils.”

“I never wanted such an honor.”

Damn it, it would have been better if at least one person had been killed by another human or force…! Or, I like the setting that it was already there! Achievements like ‘the one who met the seven demons and came back alive’ are completely unnecessary in reality!

‘It’s a trash game that doesn’t even give you a title with stat bonuses if you do achievements…’

「…?」

The reality is, of course, it’s a mess. I suppressed the feeling of wanting to cry and intertwined the fingers of both hands. If you place your elbows and lean your face against your intertwined hands, you will soon complete the posture of the ‘one in agony’. shit.

[Anyway… If it’s true that Sloth has arrived, the situation won’t be very good.]

“Yes… With the newly added demons and the addition of nightmares, the fatigue on the front line has increased significantly. Since Suzaku was also away….”

[Tsk.]

“This may be presumptuous, but when do you think it will be possible to return to the front lines?”

[It still seems like it will take another three or four days… I think it would be better to return to the front line quickly, even if it means delaying full recovery. Even if there is no urgent need, it is not good if the soldiers’ fatigue continues to accumulate.]

“Is that so?”

Suzaku waved his hand as he put down the paper with small letters written on it.

[What do you think?]

“Yes?”

[It would take you over a month to reach the front line at your own pace. If it’s okay with you, I plan to take you with me when I return to the front lines. If you ride on my back, a day or two is enough.]

“Of course… that would be more efficient. “After all, we are also in the same position as having to go down to the front line.”

[Can I not rest for a few more days?]

“Are you going to leave right away?”

[Not right away… but I plan to leave by tomorrow at the latest. As I said before, even if there is no rush, I don’t think it would be a good idea to go there late.]

“I see. “If you do that…”

The Inquisitor, who had been pondering something, looked back at the audience. It was the face of someone asking our opinion.

“What do you guys think?”

“Honestly, I just want to get some rest.”

The average person’s stamina meister quickly answered her question.

“I don’t have the stamina of steel like you.”

However, the dark circles around his eyes are too dark to say, ‘He’s as oblivious as always.’ It didn’t seem like I was answering like that just because it was My Way.

“I also want to improve the Taser gun.”

No, maybe I just answered that way because it was my way.

“I… it’s okay. “Wouldn’t you be able to rest even if you go downstairs?”

“…Well, I guess that’s true.”

“Are you sure you don’t think so?”

Well, that’s true in my honest opinion. It’s not like I’m denying it outright or there’s any special basis for it, but I guess… proper rest isn’t possible.

“What do you know?”

“It’s not like that, but…”

I glanced at the Inquisitor with a bit of embarrassment in my disheveled eyebrows.

“If you look back on our history, every time we go to a new place, something happens right away.”

“oh.”

“uh.”

“It seems more like anxiety caused by a jinx rather than a logical prediction.”

I know that this world is not a game, but every time I go somewhere, something shocking happens. There were cities that were fine when I moved, and of course there were cases where something suddenly exploded during the move… but when I set my sights on one city, the incident occurred almost 100% of the time?

Gruttelz, Par Enoch, Hudelen, Camburgh, Bemurgen… Isn’t this just a case of a plague being used as a destination?

“what. “Did you believe in that superstition too?”

“There’s no harm in being careful, right?”

I don’t blindly trust either. It’s just that… when playing a gacha game, all you do is draw a summoning circle or pour water into it. At least you have nothing to lose by trying something like that. If I still don’t get selected, I’ll be cursing the world, but whatever.

“No, no matter what, something happens every time I go—”

“Bemurchen.”

“There was a gap of two weeks between those.”

“Münmund. “I went there and something happened.”

“hmm.”

“At the end of the world we visited this time, coincidentally, a wolf appeared as soon as we arrived.”

I also briefly recalled the events that had occurred in front of him. After hearing everything, Meister Lee and Daniel’s expressions became strange.

“…Are you driving that storm of bad luck?”

“…The scriptures are not possessed by demons, they really are possessed by demons.”

If there was such a thing as exorcism here, I would have told them both to receive it at least once. But I also agree with that opinion. Is it possible that I was kidnapped to another world when I tried to play a game? At this point, regardless of the ferocity of the arm, it is clear that someone has attacked him.

“Whew. Still, if you have to go, I think it’s better to go.”

If I go to Earth, I will truly receive a good fortune… I will receive a good fortune and exorcism so that evil spirits and devils will no longer be able to interfere with me…

I crossed my arms, fluttering those random thoughts around me. A sigh came out of my throat.

“why?”

“The incident that will occur as soon as we go won’t happen if we don’t go. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to have at least a little more power to fight back?”

“Well, that’s true.”

“On the other hand, if nothing happens if we go, that would be the best thing. “You will be able to rest there and observe the situation.”

“There’s no mistake about that, but… are you sure it’s okay?”

“If only it were me. But I think what really matters is your opinion. “If we were to leave tomorrow, wouldn’t it be more of you guys than me who would have a hard time?”

Especially Meister and Deathbringer. Daniel is also close to an ordinary person, but he seems very used to this kind of forced action. The commandment is… I’m not the kind of person who would step down due to pride, and I don’t want to even consider that on my part.

Oh, I’m a little worried about Isarncol too… I don’t even know whether to take him to the front line in the first place or not. This isn’t a good place, but the wires are more dangerous than this…

“Ha, if you refuse, you’ll already be trashed, so are you asking for our opinion there?”

“…That wasn’t what I intended. “I apologize.”

Ah, that’s how it happens. But Master, you have already rejected it. Hey man.

“Me too… it’s okay. “You can go and rest.”

“I don’t mind either.”

While I was grumbling, the others also expressed their opinions one by one. Unfortunately, the Archmage was away, so I couldn’t confirm everyone’s opinions, but I think he would probably say it was okay.

The Meister’s face crumpled as if he had made a similar decision to me.

“Well, we are….”

[You are here. It’s obvious that if you follow the front lines, you’ll only see things you can’t see. I told the lord as well, so it won’t be difficult to settle down.]

“Yep.”

[And you…]

“I want to follow you.”

[I do not know. Make your own decision.]

“I will follow.”

It’s bothering me that the girl is so bold… I was about to beg her to stay, but when I saw her look directly at me and declare, I raised both hands and feet. This is not a guy who can be persuaded.

“Please… I guess I can only pray that something doesn’t happen as soon as I leave.”

I already have no conscience about the abilities of the remaining bosses, so I wish they would give me at least some time to recover my stamina. I held both hands tightly and prayed earnestly.

* * *

“They say the traitor Emerald is alive.”

The knights in the hall raised their heads at the remarks of the former lord of the castle, now the lord of the castle. The unauthorized behavior was rude, but no one pointed it out.

Right now, Seongju is tacitly giving permission with his eyes gloomily open, and everyone is so wrapped up in anger that it is no longer a situation to consider small courtesies.

“Lord Seong, please send me. “I will definitely return with that traitor torn limb from limb!”

“Doesn’t Sir Topaz already have a losing record? You’d rather have me…”

“Stop.”

The knights who were trembling with shame and earnestly praying fell silent at the words of So Seong-ju. Their knees are bent on one side and are just touching the floor.

“It is said that it has already been captured by a group of warriors.”

“If you do…”

“However, since its abilities are useful in dealing with the Great Evil, I ask that you please postpone the punishment until the war is over.”

“That’s ridiculous! “He’s done something to this city…!”

“I haven’t given you permission to open my mouth yet.”

“…sorry.”

Günther looked down at the kneeling knights with cold eyes and fluttered the letter in his hand.

“I will authorize this.”

At the end of the letter, there is one line that is completely different from the overall theme.

“After the war with the demons is over, the warrior promised that if it were still alive, its life and death would be handed over to Munmund. “I will put aside my resentment and our resentment for the greater good.”

“…Lord Seong.”

“If you have any objections, please come forward. “I will accept it.”

⌈He received confirmation from God that he would save Faust if he succeeded in killing Satan.⌋ That is the biggest reason why he dares to keep the renegade alive.

“…doesn’t exist.”

“I follow the judgment of the Lord of the Castle.”

“good. “I’m glad everyone understands.”

But there is no need for the knights to know this. The justification of ending the war against the devil is enough to silence everyone.

“…However, there is concern that it may escape, so we think we will dispatch someone to monitor it.”

Of course, there are people who are uncomfortable with the cause alone. Günther prepared a second piece of dog gum for these people. With this, the knights’ mouths will be shut at least until the end of the war.

“Who will you send?”

However, I was worried about who to choose for dispatch…

Gunter decided after a moment of consideration.

“Sir Sapphire and Sir Jardin.”

The names of the chief knight who recovered from his injuries and the one who had just been promoted to full knight were called out.
