Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 56

◈Episode 56 But (4)

Baramson and Dev twitched their lips the entire time they were riding horses. Just looking at it, it looked like he wanted to say something about Jinju.

Of course, I eventually gave up on using my tongue when I saw myself splitting a very large tree that had fallen for no reason on the way there with my bare hands.

cancer. Not only did he break a tree into pieces, but seeing him lift and throw something so large that it took three adults to move it, no one would be able to say anything.

If there was a side effect, it would be that after that, Gamakman’s commander and the personnel who guarded him kept their mouths shut like clams. Adventurers and pirates also opened the distance between me and me.

I already had a feeling of alienation because I had killed the dragon alone, but that felt more solidified.

Still, if you look at the concept, it is the right thing to do.

It was a little lonely, but it wasn’t bad.

Anyway, let’s talk about it. As soon as we arrived in Grutelc, we went to visit Seongju. It was to receive what was promised.

Even after seeing the dragon’s head, the lord of the castle expressed his disbelief, wondering if it was really a dragon…

“If the lord of the castle ignores their sacrifice, the temple will never stand still.”

“If you don’t think it’s a dragon, you probably don’t need it that much, right? “Can we take it?!”

After seeing the remarks of the priest who stubbornly followed and the wizard’s eyes shining and attempting to hit him, he eventually admitted it.

Wind Hand appears to be somewhat displeased with meddling with the priest and the magic tower, and has a mysterious expression on his face as if he is grateful for this incident.

“Oh, that’s right. We must not forget to pay a fair price to those who contributed to this matter.”

Oh, by the way, the issue of compensation that I was worried about was requested by the temple priest on my behalf.

Since the temple suffered a lot of damage, I thought they were using us as an excuse to get their share, but I wouldn’t have opposed it if they took care of mine as well.

“Isn’t it right that half of the body should go to the person who contributed the most to slaying the dragon? “I think we should guarantee a fair share to someone who faced the dragon almost alone.”

Especially in the sense that my share is taken care of properly.

“yes?! Half? “The one in charge of the ship’s shield is the Magic Tower!”

“Hmm, we are the ones who supported the ship…”

However, if we move on to the issue of contribution, it is bound to get complicated. As long as there is greed and an unwillingness to suffer losses, there is no way to come to a conclusion easily. Even if I couldn’t do it, I could clearly see that I would have to argue for a few days.

“I don’t think it will be easy to come to a conclusion.”

Is that why? Windson bit his lip slightly and looked at me. This is especially true because the value of what is at stake is the value, and if I leave here, it will almost be like giving up.

“Let’s go.”

“Wait, is a reward okay?”

“Did you have enough time to care about me?”

But what should I do? A contract is a contract.

Plus, it was something I had decided on yesterday, so I wasn’t that worried about it… No, it was such a waste, but I just gave up.

It’s because I’m greedy for equipment, but honestly, the store-bought sword is enough. It’s true that the store system options are lame, but since the existing long sword is an early weapon, the options are equally bad.

“…If Nari is like this, I won’t be able to accept it either. Ha shit.”

It’s a bit unfortunate for Dev… but if you want to get paid, stay and get it. I can’t wait.

“…that.”

“Don’t say you’re sorry. You know it can’t be helped. And I never expected to receive it in the first place. There has to be something. “I didn’t say this because I really wanted to receive it.”

“…Instead, I will take care of your share here as well.”

“I won’t refuse that.”

“thanks.”

“You should say this to the driver, Nari, rather than to me.”

Baramson also reached a compromise with Dev. I don’t know if I’m glad that Dev isn’t as obsessed with conservatives as I thought. He also secretly suffered a lot of losses.

…I predicted this would be the reward, so I stole some scales and teeth. Should I give them to you later as a gift? Conceptually, there won’t be many opportunities to give it.

“Hey, take care of the distribution of the dragon carcass and all, and I’ll get what I promised.”

When I seemed to be giving up the body, I said that I would follow the Wind Hand, and when the Wind Hand said that he would leave this city, the Magic Top and the Seongju nodded, saying that they were right.

It is clear that they think that if they can obtain a dragon’s body by giving a boat to the Wind Hand, it is a profitable business.

“Then let’s leave for a while. I want to see them off.

Thanks to this, things that seemed a bit delayed started to happen smoothly again.

The priest walked with us for a moment to see us off as we left.

“hey.”

“yes.”

“You won’t thank me.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

The priest with a broken head answered dryly with a dry tongue.

“Because I already know I don’t deserve it.”

At this point, I wonder what happened between the temple and the Yabad region. Because of some incident, they unilaterally hate it and unilaterally tolerate it in silence.

This is worse than Somon. Even though it was revealed that civilians were killed by corrupt priests, they didn’t even bother to criticize those who weren’t victims.

Could it be that something worse happened than that?

“Please preserve it.”

“joy.”

The Wind Hand and the pirates did not even listen to those words.

“Come on, get in!”

I just boarded the ship provided by Seongju. Since I don’t have any knowledge about ships, I don’t know if it’s a good ship or a bad ship. I understand that supplies have been well prepared.

“It’s the last time for everyone. “You’ve worked really hard so far… Let’s work hard just a little more.”

“The captain suffered the most.”

“Don’t worry about us!”

“Haha. “I’m fine because I rested well the day before yesterday.”

Baramson and his men shared their feelings for the last time. As if joining in on the dragon slaying wasn’t enough, the adventurers who came all the way here and Dev and I watched it.

“I’ve been doing this for nearly twenty years, but I’ve never had a series of requests like this before.”

“Is it a big deal to ask for requests in succession? “No one can participate in something like this.”

The adventurer who was sipping alcohol next to him—and who was handling the whip—laughed.

“After hunting the dragon, hunting the pirate king. “This is definitely a decoration.”

As someone who already had a medal for merit, I couldn’t sympathize much. Dev’s eyes rolled around.

“So, why did you guys receive this request? “If you wanted to receive a decoration, I think this will be enough.”

That was something I was curious about too. I knew right away that adventurers had joined, but I wasn’t told why they joined. It’s not even a situation where I can ask.

It’s not that I necessarily want to hear it, but there’s no reason to turn down the opportunity to satisfy my curiosity.

“If you leave now, you won’t get paid.”

“Haha. As for compensation, the guild will take care of it for you, so there’s no need to rush it! It’s enough to come back and get it!”

“More than anything, dragon slayer… honestly, we have to have done something.”

One of the adventurers glanced at me as he said that part. My cheeks stung.

“Of course, just being there was the greatest achievement of my life. No matter what requests we receive in the future, won’t it be impossible to surpass this one?”

“Wouldn’t it be impossible? It’s impossible. When I quit being an adventurer, I’ll spend the rest of my life talking about this. “I added a hand to the legend.”

“That goes for me too. Just because I didn’t do anything doesn’t mean this incident isn’t a legend. “

After saying that much, the adventurer shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s just… something like that. Do you want to continue working with the legend until the end? “You can make money at any time, but this is your only chance to join the adventurer who hunts the dragon.”

The eyes were still on me. So maybe. My cheeks were still hot.

But even if he wasn’t looking at me, I think he would feel hot. Normally, the main characters achieve these achievements and are praised and admired, but it is not true that they are praised to this extent.

Usually, these people don’t treat the real protagonists well enough to make them feel harsh.

“…That’s right.”

“I’m actually more curious about that. How did we end up going together? “I don’t think it would be easy to get around with.”

“It’s a bit difficult. Rather, how did we end up hanging out together?…”

Oh, this! You absolutely have to listen to this! I pretended not to listen and listened. Raise the sails! The shout announcing departure echoed in my ears.

“I think it’s similar to mine.”

However, the answer that came back in the end was vague. I clicked my tongue in regret. The boat began to move against the waves.

* * *

“Hey, I need to talk about what to do before we get to Jakrati.”

Did you have a full dinner with all the supplies loaded on you?

Usually, around the time I go to bed, the wind hand quietly calls me.

“Even though I told you the general situation, I omitted the details due to time constraints. “To talk about him.”

I don’t know why I’m going to tell you that now, but I can’t say it because we’ve reached Jakrathi. It’s actually too late to say it now.

I left the private room given to me by the Wind Hand. The motion sickness that I ignored because I was sleeping in a private room immediately hit my stomach.

“Now that the last customer has arrived, let’s get into the story.”

But now I see that I wasn’t the only one who called. If it was natural, it was natural. I wasn’t the only one participating in this request.

“Everyone gather here.”

The wind hand called the people scattered throughout the captain’s cabin together. There is a round table between the people gathered in a circle.

Sweet.

Soon a map and a lamp were on the table.

I took a step back, leaned my back against the wall, and watched the scene. The captain’s cabin was not very spacious and everyone had a good view, so there was no problem with the view.

“This is the entire map of the Yabad region.”

As Baramson explained, I looked at the map carefully.

In terms of Earth, the map is filled with islands and islands similar to the Philippines. Overall, it resembles the alphabet Z.

“This is Zakratji.”

He then made a point.

If you put a dot in the space between the center diagonal line and the bottom line in Z, the position will be similar to where the wind hand is currently pinched.

“And the territory occupied by Vipurit is Montata Island, which almost surrounds Jakrati.”

The Wind Hand then took a look at the group of islands surrounding Jakrati. If that is Vipurit’s territory, Jakrati is almost surrounded.

I now understand that it is difficult to get help from other cities.

“Originally, I had planned to burn down Vipurit’s base here with only skilled people. “If only the gang here is defeated, Luwan Castle’s troops will be able to enter here.”

“What if it was original? “You mean it’s different now?”

Wind Hand shrugged his shoulders in response to an adventurer’s question.

“It will depend on your answers.”

“First of all, I have something else in mind. “Tell me, Bosch.”

“The second time isn’t much different. “It just changes the location of where you hit it.”

Wind Hand poked a spot with his finger. It was in the middle of Montata Island. In Z, the bottom vertex?

“What happens if you hit there?”

“You can take Vipurit’s reign.”

…So you’re saying we should attack the main base right away?

“Of course, this will depend on your opinions. Whichever one you choose, the path to Jacratien will be opened.”

I leaned against the wall of the captain’s cabin and tried to think for a moment. It would have been like that if the people in the captain’s cabin hadn’t been so oblivious.

I don’t know why even the adventurers are looking at me. I heard your sincere confession that you want to be in the place where I am active, but shouldn’t you still be worried about your own life?

If I tell you to run away, will you follow me?

“Speak clearly.”

Wow. I do not know. You are the ones who didn’t say anything.

“Is it the salvation of Jakrati or the death of Vipurit and his gang that you wish for?”

“…Isn’t the question meaningless? “To save Jakrati, we have to kill Vipurit.”

“Wrong.”

Ah, the Vikings were said to have a high level of literary knowledge because they wrote poems, but Baramson is also a pirate, so I can’t understand the difference in nuance.

Grumbling to myself, I relaxed my posture and approached the table. Of course, his expression remained icy as always.

Sigh!

And the dagger pierced the map and became lodged in the table.

The point that was pierced was the location where Baramson first suggested hitting.

“If you speak of Zakrati’s salvation.”

In that state, I gently moved the dagger. After injecting a little magic power, the table became dull as if a radish was being sliced, and the map was cut smoothly.

The final destination of the dagger is, of course, the home base of Vipurit.

“I will move this way.”

Sigh.

The dagger was drawn.

“If you discuss Vipurit’s death, the opposite will happen.”

That’s it, so to speak. I’m going to kill them all, but the difference is whether I clear the path for the cheering troops first or defeat Vipurit first.

Even if you think they are both the same, they are slightly different. In the former, there is a chance that Vipurit will run away while I advance. If you run away, I won’t catch you.

But if I choose the latter… Jakrati will have to endure a little longer while I grab Vipurit and move forward.

Either way, the choice was up to Baramson.

“…I’m going to turn away.”

As if he finally understood that, Baramson’s lips trembled. It’s not like he didn’t expect me to take care of everything, but I guess he didn’t know that he would be given this option.

“There are hundreds of pirates.”

“so?”

“I also made watercolors.”

“That’s funny.”

“But is this okay?”

I pretended to be offended by the question. As if he had been insulted and how could he ask that back.

The twitching eyebrows stood up fiercely.

“Does bugs stop being bugs when they gather together? “It’s not me that won’t be okay.”

When I said that, it was as if I was throwing a dagger. The dagger, which bounced off with a tingling sound, slid down and stood in front of Windhand’s hand.

“Choose.”

At my urging, the wind hand slowly stretched out its hand. Five fingers gripped the dagger and then he closed his eyes tightly.

Sigh!

The dagger pierced the map.

“In my heart, I want to rip off Bipurit’s skin and hang it on the ship, but…”

The point where the blade came down is an alley that must be opened for the cheering army to come.

“I think I can do that someday without your help.”

The decision has been made.

「❖ Fang targeting Jakrati

∎ Move to Jakrati

∎ Destroy the Vipurit gang’s base」

“Requested.”

I snatched up the dagger that was stuck in it. The map I saw while doing it was a bit tattered… hmmm. Let’s move on to this tidy little grump. If you’re looking for a city, a map like this is all you need.

“What do you mean by this?”

“First of all, I did…”

“Then let’s go.”

More than anything else, the motion sickness that I had been enduring despite the map compensation and everything else came back. I don’t know how I survived under the name Gao, but I can’t go any further than this.

I’m going back to bed.

* * *

Wind Son stared at the spot where the demon knight left, somewhat dumbfounded. I thought they might give up on both places out of pride, but this is a result that exceeds my expectations.

Thanks to this, I even forgot what I was going to talk about today. It may not be much, but I have a few days left, so I can pass it on later… but I can’t help but feel confused.

“Why did we call you?”

Meanwhile, the young man with the hood slowly opened his mouth. It wasn’t a complaint, it was probably just a joke to ventilate the awkward atmosphere. Because I could feel the playfulness in the tone of voice.

“Then you can come up with a different opinion. “If you make a better offer than the Demon Knight, I’ll consider it.”

He accepted it gratefully. Although I was overwhelmed by the demon knight and agreed to his argument, what I said to the adventurers earlier was not a lie.

Since they were the parties involved in carrying out the operation, the intention was to reflect their intentions as much as possible. If you say you give up or take your time, of course I will kick you out.

“You don’t have a choice, do you?”

“What are you talking about. “You gave me a choice.”

He looked back at the other adventurers. It meant that if you have something to say, say it now.

“There is no disagreement.”

“I like it too.”

One by one, the adventurers announced that they had no objection.

“You guys really have no complaints? that’s interesting.”

“Haha. What a complaint! “How common is this? If you don’t like this, you should beat up the adventurer.”

“It’s better than not being able to attend these events when receiving requests from high-ranking people.”

“Okay then. In those cases, there are many cases where you wait outside until the meeting ends and then receive unilateral instructions. “Even though it’s a mission that risks our lives.”

“I still receive the same unilateral instructions, but I think this is okay.”

“There is a difference between a man who is not going to fight giving an order and someone who is going to fight at the forefront giving an order.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Just looking at it, I guess you haven’t done many requests like this?”

Windson certainly seemed to know why the demon knight tolerated that young man. His ability to subtly influence public opinion with jokes was unusual. If that were the case, even those who were slightly dissatisfied with it would understand the reason they had given.

“More than anything, if I’m with that guy, I don’t think I’ll die easily no matter what plan we go through.”

Well… I won’t deny that there is force that doesn’t require such work.

“Then I guess it goes like this. It’s late at night, so let’s break up for today. “I’ll call you again when I have something to say.”

Anyway, since the demon knight was gone, there was no point in talking further here. He opened the door to the captain’s cabin.

“hey.”

Then suddenly. He caught the last young hooded man on his way out.

“If I make a plan, will he listen to it?”

The answer came back right away.

“Just give me the information you have. I’m not one to listen to.”

Baramson heard those words and laughed.

“Is that enough?”

“If the person trying to stop that person is among the enemy, no matter what plan we come up with at that point, it won’t be enough, right?”

It was a great answer.
