Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 47

◈Episode 47 Pray and Pray (5)

“Wait a minute, this is different!”

Naturally, the Wind Hand spewed out his anger. Wind Hand’s subordinates who listened to the explanation behind him also looked like they were shocked.

“What kind of dragon are you planning to kill under this situation one day?!”

He slammed into the bar table of the inn we had rented in its entirety. It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

I may not have completely believed the half-day saying, but I would have thought that if you were that confident, you would usually have everything planned out.

But our forces are completely made of beans.

Only the boat arrived early, but cooperation between the three groups was still sluggish.

At least the temple would have contacted other cities to bring in useful manpower?

According to the Archmage, the Magic Tower is still whining. Seongju still says Haeryong can’t do that and is running away from reality.

“This is a breach of contract!”

“Well, it’s not a breach of contract.”

“It’s a scam!”

As the Archmage kindly explained and interpreted the terms of the contract, Windhand held his head and screamed.

“I wasn’t signing a contract with a sneaky wizard!”

Looking at it, it was a contract that really seemed like they were trying to be rude… but what can they do? What you have already signed.

Since it was notarized by the Adventurer’s Guild, even if they unilaterally canceled it, they would only be waiting for a huge amount of compensation. If you go out with the attitude of screwing up the boat, the adventurer guild will come out with swords like loan sharks collecting debts.

The Wind Hand has no real back left now.

“Don’t be too upset. “Now that Yongahyeong has been seen in Gamak Bay, we won’t be able to procrastinate any longer.”

“I’m in a hurry…”

I feel like patting my back and comforting him, but my concept doesn’t allow it. I leaned against the wall and just watched the conversation going on.

“No hey. If you have a conscience, shouldn’t you be like this? At the very least, you should have prepared ships and troops!”

“Hmm. “But there is one thing the ship is prepared for.”

“one? “Hanaaa?”

“Don’t be too angry. “As long as the existence of the Dragon Soldier has been witnessed, there is no use in preparing more than one.”

In order to appease the angry Windhand, the Archmage hastily poured out the basis for his words.

“Now that we have confirmed that mercenaries are roaming around, mobilizing ships will only increase the number of victims. “No matter what skilled people are on board, the moment a hole is made in the ship on the sea, it will sink.”

“So, let’s kill the dragon with just one boat?”

“There is no rule that says you have to catch a dragon in the sea. We’ll lure the dragon to land. However, for that to happen, you need to enter Yongulmun Gate at least once. “That’s why I recruited you.”

For a hastily prepared opinion, it was quite a plausible statement. Strictly speaking, it is a retelling of one of the alternatives that was previously established, tailored to suit the situation.

From the listener’s point of view, it doesn’t matter either way, as it will be a headache.

“This is absurd. Let’s come to land with a sea dragon on our tail? aboard? Do you think that will work?”

“As for the danger, it’s not much different from dealing with a sea dragon in the sea.”

“That’s right…! No, that’s right. It’s definitely better than dealing with a sea dragon in the sea. “But is there any guarantee that that ship won’t be sunk by mercenaries?”

“I thought I could survive in the Magic Tower.”

“What kind of ship is this?”

Is this why I answered so confidently? Wind Hand calmly asked, and the Archmage responded with information about the ship he had prepared.

As someone who had heard the specifications earlier, the boat itself was actually quite good. Now the question is whether it can withstand a dragon.

“Damn it, at least I won’t have to be buried by that dragon or crocodile. “I’m sure I can go all the way to Yongulmok.”

“I believe that with your skills, coming back will be no problem.”

“Ha, there is no need for flattery.”

“It’s not flattery.”

“Okay… if you use the magic built into it… tsk. “If it’s a ship, it’s a bit difficult to guarantee that we can overcome its speed because the opponent is a dragon.”

“Do you know that ship?”

“I’ve even been involved in chases. “It was thrilling to see how fast the pace was on such a huge topic.”

At those words, the Inquisitor, who had been quiet for a while, trembled slightly.

Fortunately, Dev, who was next to her, stopped her. It felt like I got hit in the solar plexus a bit in return, but those two didn’t seem to care, so I guess it would be okay.

“Is it very fast?”

“The best ship I’ve ever seen. However, it was so fast that it seemed difficult to change direction. “That can be resolved by turning off the device, so it’s not a big problem.”

The wind hand looked more subdued than before. I’m still angry, but at least I feel like I know that the boat I’m riding is performing at its best.

“The provocation will probably be with the artillery device on board.”

“That’s right. “It would be nice if we could hit the dragon, but if we can at least scratch its nerves, we can make it follow us.”

“Ha, I don’t know if that’s really a good thing.”

If possible, the former would be better. There are many cases where they don’t provide games, but honestly, if you don’t do that, there’s nothing for the dealer to do.

I’m not the one actually operating the bombardment device, but still.

“But then, are the sailors who originally operated the ship coming?”

“That won’t be it. “I never offered to provide crew.”

“what? “Then you can’t use your stomach!”

“As for the device, it is possible to use it. “I have been taught how to operate it, and the wizard who will operate it will be brought from the Magic Tower.”

“That’s good, but then who are the people who will operate the ship itself?”

“That…”

The Archmage trailed off, and that was a sufficient answer. The wind hand slammed down on the desk.

“Hey, do you know how big that ship is? “If you take a small ship, it’s so big that the length will be almost three times different!”

“Is that a problem?”

“This is why land people!”

Baramson scratched his head and explained to us as calmly as possible.

“On average, twenty to thirty sailors ride on a small ship. So how many sailors would a ship that is three times longer need?”

“…I see, is it a manpower issue?”

“Even if we exclude the combat personnel, we need at least 30 sailors who know how to operate the ship. “This was also set to a minimum considering the situation.”

“First of all, there is a sailor we rescued.”

When the Archmage gave Dev a signal, he slowly opened his mouth.

“I asked for seven orders. “As an ordinary sailor.”

“Only seven… Surely they’re not new?”

“Don’t worry about that part. “They said they didn’t hire just anyone because it was urgent.”

“That’s something I’ll check again. “Still, there aren’t enough numbers.”

“Did you bring any people there?”

“Are you so obviously including my people?”

Dev shrugged his shoulders as if he had nothing to say. Baramson also did not question such a person any more.

“If you add our children, we are twenty-three. Even if we can’t do it, we have to save ten more people. “It’s a shame we have all the essential positions like navigator and helmsman.”

But stopping asking wasn’t necessarily a good sign. Because it was a situation where there was no answer.

“Is twenty-three too much?”

“If we were simply traveling a day’s distance, twenty would do, but when we go, it’s Yongulmok. The weather wasn’t bad at first, but what about the center where the sea dragons are running wild? “You don’t know what’s going to happen, so you need a crew to deal with it.”

is it. Since I don’t know much about boats, even if I say something like that, it doesn’t really resonate. According to Baramson, his subordinates, who are sailors, are having a hard time.

“Well, the reason the sailor can’t be saved is because of the belief that the sea dragon cannot be touched, so if you ask the temple…”

“Are you just bringing up the temple story in front of people from Yabad?”

“…I know that people over there hate temples. I also suffered from a temple attack, so I don’t like it very much. But there’s no other way, right?”

Dev spoke soothingly as Baramson’s voice rose higher. It was somewhat frustrating for those who did not know what happened between the Yabad region and the temple.

Why on earth do I hate it so much? Rather than that, at this point, shouldn’t you be out of the Inquisitor?

“And the temple is at the forefront of helping with this. “I know how you feel, but please be patient for a little while to finish the work quickly.”

“Damn it…”

Baramson gritted his teeth and touched his forehead, as if he was annoyed by the situation that he had no choice but to admit. Jinglang. The drop earrings hanging from his ears made a clear sound.

“Yeah shit. I can’t help it. Those bastards are not going to step on Jakrati’s land, and we have to save our brothers quickly…”

Soon, small sentences of acceptance and compromise flowed out. Crackling. The Inquisitor turned his head, crossed his arms, and a new metallic sound came out.

“Then, since saving the crew is a priority, I would like to ask you to do that as well…”

Squeak.

The moment the door to the inn and tavern opened, the conversation stopped.

When the innkeeper vacated the place in exchange for jewels, he apparently left a cloth with an

“Am I there?”

Fortunately, the visitor only peeked his head out and did not intend to fully enter.

“We are not open for business.”

Dev quickly stepped forward and began responding.

“I put up a cloth on the window, but you’re thinking of coming in.”

Meanwhile, one pirate grumbled. It was worth it. Considering the pirates’ position, we put up cloth on all the windows so they couldn’t see from the outside.

Still, it takes a lot of guts to even think about entering a store like this. Or maybe it’s that desperate.

“what?”

But Dev’s reaction is a bit strange.

“That’s me.”

“…?”

“If you’re a good sailor, you think you can save it without temple help?”

…It seems that the visitor is not just a guest.

“What are you, a sailor wannabe?”

Naturally, Baramson, as the conductor, was the first to show interest. Dev shrugged.

“First of all, they are asking if it would be okay if we still find the crew of the ship heading to Yongulmok.”

“What are your skills?”

“…I’m not from this city, so I don’t know that much, but please ask me if I can become a former pirate.”

“pirate?”

Windson’s eyes sparkled.

“First, put on your robes… and bring him in.”

At Baramson’s instructions, the pirates covered up the hem of their clothes.

Then, when all the pirates had covered their faces, Dev brought in a visitor. One of them happened to be a face I recognized.

“I see you again.”

He is a talkative adventurer who guided Dev and me to the guild last time.

“Is it true that you also take care of former pirates, not just former adventurers?”

“I wonder if it’s right for me to believe that brat. “Life is more important than money.”

“If I say there is no captain, I will be left out.”

“Just because you’re a former pirate doesn’t mean you can’t volunteer, right?”

Soon after, the area near the inn entrance was filled with sturdy sailors. Regardless of age or gender, young or old, they were full of muscle.

Just looking at the appearance, there are no special skilled sailors.

“what. “Why is the wind hand here?”

“what?! “Wind hand?”

“…?”

But one of them recognized Baramson right away. Even though she didn’t close her front, her entire face was covered.

At this point, it’s not a matter of just being observant.

“How did you know?”

“No, sir, then I quit piracy because of you, so you can’t tell?”

“what? “What did I do?”

“They say they only remember the person who got hit, and that’s exactly true.”

The sailor grumbled, but easily told the story that he recognized right away.

“There was a person you cut off, saying he was a Sulawesi captain who blocked the road.”

“Sulawesi…? Ahhh! Thornbeard!”

“I remember your nickname again.”

“That noble sailor cut my chest, how can I forget!”

Baramson chuckled, saying that it wasn’t strange that he recognized it right away. Then, what he says while hitting his knee is as follows.

“The Thornbeard crew is quite trustworthy! Because he was a pirate with a reputation for sailing skills. But what about all of you?”

“That’s right. I thought I would never see him again after that, but I never thought I would see him here again. “Is the world something to live in and see?”

“But the fact that the Wind Hand is here means that the Wind Hand is also joining the dragon slayers?”

“what?! The Wind Hands are joining? “It’s a bit annoying, but it’s still worth it if you’re the captain of the Wind Hand!”

“At least I won’t die in the rapids.”

Fearing that he might be a sailor, he rushes in like an ebbing tide and pours out words like a tidal wave. Also, despite their once bad relationship, the crew members were very satisfied now that they might recognize each other’s skills and move together.

“good. “If this happens, it will be quite worth it.”

It was similar to the wind hand.

“Vice Captain, what do you think?”

“Other than thinking that dragon slaying itself is crazy… yeah, considering just going to Yongulmok, it’s quite worth it.”

It seems that the vice captain also likes these aspiring sailors. I immediately gave the OK sign.

It was the moment when the problem of crew shortage was solved once and for all. The quest

“❖ Corruption floating down from the sea

∎ Finding a way to approach the sea dragon

∎ Moving to Yongulmok

∎ Finding and purifying the source of negativity”

has finally been updated.

“Wow, I heard that people weren’t gathering so I tried to persuade my old colleagues. I’m glad you found it helpful. Can I say that I really paid for my life with this?”

And the number one contributor seems to be a chatty former adventurer.

I never thought that my eventful career change that I was talking about would help me so much. At that time, I had no idea that the snowball that had been distributing medicine at Tatara would roll this far.

Life really is.

“…Isn’t it easy for you to join in on the dragon-slaying mission to pay for your life?”

“Haha! If you put it that way, you didn’t even fight the devil in Tatara!”

The former adventurer laughed heartily.

“Above all, if no one steps forward, we will only be destroyed, so how can we stay silent? Running away to live now is just an act of procrastination. That’s very stupid. “Just because there is no immediate damage doesn’t mean the problem goes away.”

It was a pretty good maxim. If it wasn’t a concept that a hundred people could agree on, it was a value that I would have talked about as if I knew something about it.

“It means tatara.”

Although the wind hand seems to be focused on other things.

“Anyway, while you’re here, have a chat with my kids. “At least you should know whose orders to follow.”

“Yep.”

“You must follow what the captain says.”

“I would like to call the other crew members that I hired, but if I call them now, it will attract attention.”

Still, Baramson focused more on his own work than checking. A big part of that decision will be the fact that it is meaningless to listen to my records since I have already joined.

“And let’s finish talking about that. Because the minimum conditions for recruiting crew members have been met. Approximate sea route and how to prevent the manpower to take the time until we get off the ship when we arrive at Gamak Bay from leaving Gamak Bay, etc! “There’s so much to talk about.”

But at that point, I had a question.

Can’t I stay on earth?

“Don’t worry. Now that you’ve joined, we have a basis to push forward. Oh yeah. If it’s okay, would you like to speak directly at the meeting? “I will get what I want as much as possible, but unless you are a sailor, you may miss out on something.”

No, if you’re going to lure the dragon to Gamak Bay and catch it anyway, shouldn’t I wait at Gamak Bay? Even if I were on the boat, there wouldn’t be anything to do.

“That’s great! I’ll punish those superiors! “Oh, instead, I’ll only let Seongju know of my existence, so until then, you can explain on your own.”

“Don’t worry.”

But it probably won’t work either. I will never let the concept slip away.

Ha, I really don’t like getting caught up in the concept and going through trouble that I shouldn’t have to do.

“The ship in the harbor is sinking!!”

At that time, a scream was heard from the port. As if they were talking while running, the sound got closer and closer.

“The ship in the harbor is sinking!!”

Words have meaning that can never be overlooked.

Sigh.

I pulled my body away from the wall.

Wow.

The Inquisitor picked up the mace right next to him.
