Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 57

◈Episode 57 But (5)

“A ship is approaching!”

I spent most of the day sleeping, doing light stretching and exercising.

Two days after setting sail, pirate hunting was added.

“Are you a pirate?”

“I don’t know. However, most ships that approach recklessly in this sea are enemies.”

It’s a simple dichotomy. If it approaches, it’s either an enemy or a passing ship. It was also a method of distinction that arose because pirates did not wear pirate flags.

“It’s Vipurit!”

However, the pirates under Vipurit are a bit easier to recognize. This is why most of the members are wearing red bandanas, scarves, or any other red cloth.

“Please.”

And that also meant that you could just cut it down.

Sigh!

A slash filled with magical power cut across the sea.

“It’s really bad taste to just cut off the mast when you could just cut down the ship as is.”

The three masts that towered over the ship collapsed. It is a bonus that the sail is torn horizontally, showing a smooth cross section.

The pirate on the watchtower screamed and fell into the sea as the mast fell.

“I will break your ship in two.”

“Please bear with that.”

Windson entered the captain’s cabin, trembling jokingly.

I looked at him and then turned to do the same. Unless I was lucky enough to ride the ocean current and reach land, the fate of dying in the ocean remained behind me.

widely.

My body was placed on a stool that looked like a chair.

The hand holding the two-hander trembled slightly due to nausea.

“I don’t think we’ll see any pirates in these coastal waters for a while.”

One of the adventurers on deck said so.

That’s probably not an exaggeration. One ship the day before yesterday, three ships yesterday, and two ships today were set adrift with their masts split.

Although this level is not at the level of dried seeds, it can never be described as small. Even when we went to subdue pirates with the city army, we barely captured eight ships in three days.

“More than that, there are only four ships belonging to Vipurit. “I expected it since they said pirates ate a city, but this is no joke.”

The sailor managing the sails shrugged his shoulders at his words.

“We didn’t abandon the port city near Zakrati and go all the way to Grutelz for nothing.”

She said, pulling the rope tightly.

“There are gangs connected to Vipurit in some ports.”

“Because of that, if you tried to stop by the adventurer’s guild, you wouldn’t get caught and chased away or fight.”

It was another sailor who followed her words.

He put his hand into the cage that existed on deck. A chicken was caught through the open door. I think there is a high probability that it will be our lunch.

“Is it that much?”

“All of the pirates went under Vipurit. “At least the leader Rahong Blue Moon Watia Outlaw Skirt is holding on without getting into trouble.”

“Aren’t Blue Moon and Outlaw privateers?”

“that’s right. But I crossed the privateer line a lot. Privateers are asking for their lives to be spared by repaying some of the looted goods, but it is meaningless if the city cannot function.”

The pulled rope was securely fastened to the clamp. Only then did the sailor come down from the railing.

“So, why don’t you all show your loyalty to Vipurit before he dies?”

“Why didn’t you guys do that?”

“it’s crazy? There is no way Vipurit would tolerate us.”

The sailor looked at me with a look of complete incomprehension and then said no.

“Oh, you are land people, right? Then you might not know.”

“Yes, I don’t know. So please tell me.”

Dev intervened appropriately. Anyway, he was a guy who never missed a corner to get information.

“Um, this is a bit…”

The sailor trailed off for the first time, perhaps because it was a bit ambiguous to talk about.

“I played the biggest role when that guy fell.”

It was at that time that the wind hand that had entered the captain’s cabin came back out. In his hand is a bottle of alcohol assigned to him.

“I hit him in the back with a boat.”

“…I still feel sad when I remember that time. “Everyone is trying to stop him, but he is the captain who refuses and crawls into enemy territory alone.”

The sailor, who was watching, spoke cautiously, but quickly in an annoyed manner. Wind Hand chuckled.

“It was better to have gum than to go through the storm alone!”

“What are you saying? “I took advantage of the storm to go there.”

“therefore! “It was easier to avoid the eyes of those Vipurits than to cross the storm!”

And then it seems like they are holding out a bottle of liquor and telling them to take a sip at a time. People around me took it and drank it.

“Anyway, that doesn’t work. Vipurit is the guy who will cut off my head and put it on a spear, saying he is right when I go to swear allegiance.”

“Oh, then there’s nothing we can do about it.”

I refused. I hate alcohol ever since my senior in college made me drink until I vomited.

Of course, you will have to drink it within a few days. Water on a boat becomes rotten very easily, and even if I don’t like alcohol, if I were asked to choose between rotten water, I would choose alcohol.

But that’s not the case now. I brought plenty of water in my inventory in case it gets dirty.

“But… is that all?”

“dodge?”

Dev seemed to feel uncomfortable, but he subtly tried to ask more questions, and I thought about getting up. This is because the smell of alcohol made my motion sickness worse.

They say it’s good to see open spaces to get motion sickness, but I thought it would be more comfortable to just lie down on the bed and get a good night’s sleep.

“So, um. “Please do well.”

But just as I was about to get up, the wind hand looked at me and said.

“Please save my life… and my brothers’ lives. “Because I bet everything on you.”

The tone was somewhat vague, but the answer was still fixed.

“There is no failure as long as you get something in return.”

I stayed in my private room to avoid the smell of alcohol.

⌈Baramhand Nari urges me to go to Jakrati first.

Please send your contact information to me. If you’re an Archmage, I think you’ll know how to contact me.

It’s up to you to decide whether or not to join for this request. But I don’t really recommend it.

P.s. If you’re going to follow me, bring some troops and supplies. That way, you’ll be less likely to get hit in the back while walking down the street.

PS 2. I don’t think I’ll take the driver’s compensation, so can you accept it instead? I can’t bear to go through all that trouble and not receive anything.⌋

The Inquisitor crouched down, pondering the words the thief left behind (a transcription of the letter).

Yavad and Jakrathi. The name of the region, which she had never been to but had almost always encountered when learning about the history or doctrine of the temple, left her at a loss.

“You look like you’re worried a lot.”

The person who approached her was a priest who did a few things for her while she was unconscious and helped her with many things after she woke up.

“Ah, sister.”

The Inquisitor stood up and greeted the priest. Anyway, the debt she owed him was not normal.

“Why should I have so many worries? “It was all thanks to my sister’s help.”

Let’s take a look at the tasks that came to her as soon as she woke up.

From relaying the news of the priests’ deaths to the temple, to appeasing the flagship castle lord after belatedly hearing that the ship was damaged, to the Magic Tower’s unreasonable response to requesting that the dragon’s body be handed over for research since the victim has emerged.

In the meantime, we had to fill out a report and take care to ensure that compensation was provided to the families of the deceased. Just as the thief had requested, the reward for the demon knight had to be paid, and the request for personnel to analyze how the dragon ended up like that and what will happen to the sea in the future was a bonus.

To make matters worse, the parties who were familiar with the incident disappeared or fainted due to personal reasons. She herself was so focused on striking the barrier that she didn’t know the situation.

If that priest hadn’t helped her, she would still have been dragged here and there.

“It was something that should have been done.”

Despite this, the priest humbly refused to take the credit. The Inquisitor’s eyes softened slightly.

“Are you really not worried about anything more than that? “It seems to me that there is one or two things that are bothering you.”

“That’s…”

“I heard that the Archmage will wake up soon, so it won’t be about him… and it won’t be about him as well, since he has already saved a certain amount of compensation to give to the demon knight… The one who left first “Is it because of your companions?”

“…!”

She couldn’t bear to say anything in response to the question that hit her at the nail on the head. Her biggest concern was actually true.

“I have heard the story to some extent. “Something is going on in Zakrati.”

“…yes.”

She carelessly crumpled the letter she was holding in one hand. Afterwards, I tried to straighten it out, but the wrinkles did not come off.

“…I want to go help. But…”

There was a time 40 years ago when a large-scale demon summoning took place in the Yabad region.

However, at that time, many people were parasitized by the devil… and many people who did not even know that they were parasites were clinging to priests. Please save me, save me. They say the devil is coming.

In fact, it was their bodies that were inhabited by demons.

“There is no way they would tolerate that.”

…So many people died then, said her teacher. So many people died.

Those who could not believe that their family had been parasitized by the devil killed the priests, and the priests killed them in order to survive, and eventually burned the entire land, including the civilians… In this way, the land turned black and the sea turned red.

“Don’t blame yourself. “Isn’t that the Inquisitor’s fault?”

“…but.”

But the flowing blood does not disappear. Their hatred, accumulated hatred, and anger will not disperse.

“…I can’t just stand back like this.”

Probably forever.

“Inquisy….”

Crash!

“…!”

The noise in their ears made both of their heads turn at the same time, no matter who went first. What I saw as far as I could see was an apprentice priest out of breath.

“Ah, Archmage has awakened….”

“Has he finally awakened!”

“But a problem has occurred.”

“…! Is there any health problem…”

“That’s not it, they say they found the reason why the dragon became corrupted in the Magic Tower!”

“…!”

“But that denial isn’t natural!”

The faces of the Inquisitor and the priest stiffened.

* * *

Just as the water ran out, land began to appear. It was the Yabad region and the island where Jakrati was located.

“Bipurits are coming from both sides!”

Of course, there wasn’t much of a problem with the one circling the waters near the island. The ship was cut in half by my sword and began to sink.

“You cut off the stomach this time?”

Even if we just take care of that massive mast, there’s no way for them to come after us and cause an incident. All we have to do is pray to the ocean currents.

But this is near land. There is no guarantee that they will not reach land in small boats. In that case, there is a very high probability that it will come back later.

So I just made sure just in case. I can’t risk the lives of the people on the land just to give them a little chance.

“It got annoying.”

But there is no need to go into detail about such an explanation!

I dealt with the remaining ship by raising its magic power to HP. While I was on the ship, I had a reasonable idea of the HP and magic power exchange rate through vitality conversion, so my HP was slightly reduced.

Of course, it’s definitely not my fault that blood came out of my throat just because it was cut.

“I can smell blood somewhere.”

…That ghostly bastard!

I swallowed the blood that came up inside without noticing it and put the two-hender into the holder on my back. Converting vitality is all good, but every time I expend HP, blood comes out inside.

Thanks to that, I almost got caught by Dev, who is sensitive to the smell of blood.

Unless you’re already injured, I think you should refrain from doing this in front of him. I didn’t really have a choice this time.

“The smell of blood? “Isn’t it from the sea?”

“…I don’t think so.”

I do not know. I don’t know.

I looked away and sat down on an empty box nearby.

I hurriedly approached Zakrati, ignoring the humans whose boat had sunk.

The request destination was a different place, but there was an opinion that we should go after some maintenance, so Zakrati was chosen as the destination first.

“Captain Seo!”

And just as the landscape of Zakrati was slowly beginning to take shape, the sailor in charge of security at the watchtower screamed.

People’s expressions hardened as the voice mixed with fear and embarrassment pricked the tension in their stomachs.

“say!”

The wind hand urgently helped the sailor. However, the next words could not be easily continued in the watchtower.

“What the fuck did you see?!”

So some of the sailors clung to the bow, while others tried to climb the rigging to the watchtower. I just took a peek at the city from the center deck.

“A monster.”

Has the vague image of the city finally come into focus? The watchtower’s crew stammered.

“A monster is taking over the city…”

“…What?”

It was the very next moment that I saw a monster destroying the city wall.

“Rag Golem│A monster made of rags made of human bones and muscle and flesh, with a devil in it. It is said that dozens of lives are needed for its birth, but hundreds of lives are needed for its death.” It was a

devil.
