Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 66

◈Episode 66 From the beginning (1)

The Archmage looked back at the situation he was facing with a sigh.

The detachment consisting of the Inquisitor and the demon knight thief Wind Hand departed for the next mountain.

If you do this, all that remains are the church’s personnel, the magic tower’s wizards, Wind Hand’s subordinates, a few adventurers, and the people we rescued this time.

Meanwhile, demonization was observed as an environmental factor. The longer the purge is delayed, the bigger the disaster will be.

“First of all… your role is important.”

But this is Yabad. It is a land that does not tolerate denominations. If we made a mistake, we might end up in an unfortunate situation where people who are supposed to cooperate fight among themselves.

“You must mediate between the people here and us.”

So she made a firm request to Windson’s subordinates and adventurers. This is because they are the only ones who will be able to communicate with the residents.

Wizards? There are no expectations for them. Those were idiots who, even if asked, would forget everything because they were so focused on their own interests.

She did not trust the people in her group.

“I know it might be unpleasant. But… please.”

“Um, it’s our request, so don’t worry.”

“I’m in trouble in so many ways.”

Fortunately, the adventurers immediately cooperated.

“…Don’t worry Mashu. “Because we have brains too.”

“It’s really annoying, but… this is my hometown. So I will cooperate.”

Even though Baramson’s subordinates were not in a positive mood, they showed a willingness to cooperate. I think the fact that the Wind Hand and the Inquisitor had a fight in front of everyone had an impact. Or a word from the devil knight.

“And speaking of their treatment, I would like to find out if it is possible to extradite them to Jakrathi. If we can do it…”

“Let’s send it there?”

“We can’t send them back to the village. Aren’t they too anxious? However, it is difficult to split the number of people here. “If it’s just this one time, I don’t know if it will happen again in the future.”

Of course, we don’t know if support will come. If support comes.

If they allow it.

“So…”

“Ibosho wizard.”

“Oh, speak first.”

“…is this really something that can be solved? I don’t even want it to be the way it was. “Are you sure you can drive Vipurit and the damn demons out of this land?”

The Archmage thought for a moment about the question of the Wind Hand sailor.

Should I tell you the truth or hope? In a short moment, many possibilities passed through her mind.

“I think it’s possible if you just talk about the conclusion.”

With the combination of the Demon Knight’s power and the Demon’s natural enemy, the Inquisitor, there are rarer demons that cannot be caught. Even if you add the disadvantage that the two are not compatible, so rather than creating synergy, one side suffers damage unilaterally.

There is a thief who is skilled at detecting traps and researching information, and there is also a wind hand assigned to defend the Inquisitor.

I don’t know if Vipurit was there, but there was a high chance of breaking through until just before that.

“But if you want to further reduce the damage… you should get help. Help from personnel waiting on the mainland.”

“…You’re saying you’re going to bring more members of the church!?”

“Isn’t this something new?”

Catching the devil doesn’t end with killing the devil. The land stained by demons had to be purified, and even after purification, any remaining debris had to be searched and killed.

And those issues cannot be solved immediately just because of high military power.

“What we need now is time and manpower. And the more of one you have, the less you need the other.”

“There are still fifty people!”

“Look at it calmly. Montata is not narrow enough to accommodate fifty people.”

Fifty people are not enough.

If you really want to do it with 50 people, then yes. Assuming they work hard without stopping for a moment, it will take a year at best.

Maybe it will take longer than that. The longer the purification is delayed, the more demons will arise, and when demons arise, the demonization will accelerate.

It’s going to be a very fierce battle of power.

“Or, another way would be to obtain tens of thousands of purification stones. However… as you know, purification stones are not something that can be easily made. Even if we bring in all the quantity available on the market, it will not be enough. “If you ask for it from the Yabad region, the temple will provide it for free, but even the temple does not have the ability to bring in unmade items.”

“…!”

In the end, the issue was time. If they did not want to bring in a religious order, they would have to take the time and suffer the damage that would result.

“I know this is nothing short of a disgrace to you. I know it was hard just accepting us now. But there is no way. “The magic tower alone is not enough for this job.”

It was a cruel fate.

“Then why do you have to tell us that?”

“Deck commander…!”

At that time, someone took a step forward. Among Baramson’s subordinates, the vice-captain went to request support, so he would have been the next in rank.

I think I also understand why Baramson took over leadership when he discovered her hidden intentions.

“I need someone to spread the word to Jakrathi.”

So the Archmage spoke honestly. The deck captain’s face crumpled slightly.

“There is a way to contact us. I left behind a wizard. But spreading the word is another thing.”

“So, are we going to tell the Lord of the castle that we should bring in more religious orders?”

“It’s not coercion. And I don’t even want to say it directly. “I just wanted you to at least respond positively.”

“That’s it.”

Is it still not possible? She was a little disappointed, but quickly gave up. As survivors of the massacre or their descendants, their attitude toward shrines is not incomprehensible.

“If there is a God, he acts really cruelly. How can He make us make this choice? “He is a cruel person.”

However, it seems the disappointment was too early.

“…But it is also true that there is nothing we can do. Okay, let me see the Lord of Seong. “They said I could contact you.”

“bosun!”

“what.”

“The temple is…!”

“Temple what? You don’t think this is because I don’t know, right? My mother was the leader of the volunteer army. I know better than most people what those damn temple bastards did here! But is there another way for us? “Is there one?”

“That’s…”

“Kids are dying!”

“…!”

“It’s not just children, it’s adults and the elderly who are all being dragged away or chewed to death by monsters’ teeth! You can tell just by looking at those people! Vipurit joined hands with the devil and sold this land!”

“So…”

“The captain’s choice is right. I can’t forgive the temple bastards. I can’t do this forever. But… if they really can save this land, this is the only way. I can give you one last chance. “Damn, I value this land so much.”

“….”

“So… contact me. “I will try to persuade the Lord of the castle somehow.”

Some hatred can be overwhelmed by loving someone passionately and missing them.

“You guys. how.”

Six days since arriving in Montata.

I advanced as fast as I could while controlling my fatigue. The feeling of fullness was also satisfied by eating preserved food made from wild vegetables.

If we were lucky enough, a horse came out from the mountain vegetables we turned in the middle.

Thanks to this, I was able to move quickly for a while. If it weren’t for the attack by the demonized beasts, I might still be riding it.

“Are you monsters…?”

“…please leave me out.”

However, while the Inquisitor can keep up with my speed, the two guys seem to be running out of stamina. His breathing was heavy, and the dark circles under his eyes were almost reaching his chin.

Compared to ordinary people, they probably have overwhelming physical strength, so it’s just a pity that they stick with me.

“Don’t be weak!”

“I told you I wasn’t a superhuman like you!”

“This is not a physical problem, it is a mental problem!”

“What kind of mind feeds you and lets you sleep?!”

Dev and the Inquisitor fought for the first time in a long time. It’s been a while since we’ve been chatting like that, so I enjoyed it…

“Shut up.”

interrupted. Not only was this an enemy camp, but we heard people laughing and talking and were moving in that direction. The dumpling guys seem to have forgotten.

“I’m sorry.”

“I got scolded because of you.”

“It’s not because of me…!”

“…One thing’s for sure, if you two keep doing that, I think you’ll get scolded again.”

Baramson pointed out in a dull voice. The two men trembled and negotiated a small truce. They were really cute guys.

“You’ve had a hard time too…”

Well. Since the concept is like this, I can’t control it in detail.

It’s a bit ambiguous whether that’s worth the trouble. Even if the two of you growl like that, each of you still takes care of your own work. It has never been a hindrance during serious times.

More than anything, playing childishly is cute.

“A hostile target exists within a 30m radius.”

At that time, a notification rang and my ears rang. This was the moment when the commotion that had been coming from earlier became clearer.

Tuk.

My hand reached the solar plexus of the wind hand standing next to me and stopped him in his tracks. Dev, who was arguing with the Inquisitor, must have heard the sound and covered the Inquisitor’s mouth.

“enemy?”

Maybe so. I hid myself under a tree trunk and looked toward the sound. It was over the hill.

“I will come back.”

The steep slopes are full of dry, dead leaves from trees. Cha Dev, who was wondering how to get through it, volunteered. His hands took off his shoes without a sound.

Sabagsabag.

It is difficult to say that there is no sound at all.

But that was a sound I heard because I was watching him walk. It would be difficult for people beyond the hill to even be aware of the existence of such a sound.

Dev’s body slowly started to climb the hill. The hood has dead leaves that you don’t know when it was attached, making concealment more effective.

Swoosh swoosh.

After a while, Dev crawled over the hill to look over the hill, looked back at us, and moved his finger. Spread out all five fingers and shake them once. Turn your palm over, show the back of your hand, and move two fingers. Finally, turn it over again and use four fingers.

“14 people?”

It was a bit much. It’s there for me, but what if I miss it? I won’t miss it though.

“Are you going to be okay?”

Does the Wind Hand still not trust me? I glared fiercely at him while holding the hilt of the sword and tried to move forward.

Dev waved his hand desperately without a sound.

His subordinate quickly drew something in language.

“…hostage?”

That was a bit of a difficult story. I’m terrible at protecting people! This is perfect for a wizard or inquisitor!

“Having hostages makes things difficult.”

“…The people who were caught must be people from here.”

“I will save you, so don’t worry.”

“….”

The expression on Baramson’s face, which seemed very angry just a moment ago, became strange as the tone of speech was still going back and forth. At least the anger over the current situation seems to have gone to the background.

“It doesn’t feel good to hear you treat me with respect, so just do what’s comfortable.”

“…! i get it!”

“….”

He’s been an Inquisitor for six days and still hasn’t figured out the character. Or is it because it’s so hard that your anger has become diluted? It doesn’t really matter either way.

“composition.”

After all, I urged Dev, who had just come down. The young man squatted down on the ground and began to express the situation with tree branches.

14 people spread out in a protective circle around the carriage. Children in the carriage. Adults tied up near the carriage.

Crackling.

Wow.

When I heard that a child was trapped in the carriage, the hilt of my sword and my gloves made a bloody sound as they rubbed together. What follows is the sound of the wind hand grinding its teeth.

The atmosphere suddenly became ugly.

“…I guess they set up camp because the sun is going to set soon. “There is a stream nearby and the hill has an open view.”

You will regret it.

Because I hate crimes that harm children the most! If everything were to die like in a war, adults and children alike, why not just ignore it and say it’s sad? Why not capture the child and lock him in the carriage?

Just about. I don’t advocate personal revenge, but you really deserve to be hit. The concept will also allow this!

“Go back. “So as not to be disturbed.”

I took out my scimitar and turned it half a turn.

By the way, what I just said was a kind of insurance. Who knows, maybe they’ll take a child or other people hostage in a fit of rage.

Before that, if the Inquisitor who went back deploys a shield and Dev takes off the handcuffs and tells you that although the Wind Hands are a religious group, they are good guys, you will feel at ease.

Of course, it bothers me that I said something somewhat ambiguously… but I guess you understood?

If you don’t understand, you should kill them all before they take hostages.

“I understand.”

“But I can fight too…”

“You idiot, you’re supposed to secure and protect people while you get attention.”

Fortunately, the meat dumplings clearly understood my intention.

“…Is there such a meaning there?”

“It was something like that. As expected, a demon knight…!”

“Even if he pretends not to be like that, he is a kind person.”

no. It was not a perfect match, but a deep-rooted corruption.

Wow. Stop interpreting deep-rooted evils! This Da-jeong is not a Da-jeong of concept, but rather a part of her personality that is revealed! Of course, the concept is sweet, but I thought it wouldn’t be like this, but anyway, ugh!

“Hi.”

I swung my sword quickly and stopped right in front of Dev’s nose. An instant wind blew the fallen leaves dry.

“go away. “Before I rip your tongue out.”

For your information, my facial expression right now probably looks really angry. Anyway, I’m keeping my distance from him, but if he shows signs of being comfortable with me by saying he’s a sweet person or whatever… I tend to drop him.

Crispy.

I didn’t change my nervous expression and turned towards the hill. The boots went straight up, crunching the dead leaves. And the moment I climbed the

hill,

several arrows flew. The skill Ground Crash, which was activated at the same time as the two-hender was struck, spewed out raw magic everywhere.

The fact that all the flying arrows bounced off was a bonus.

“What the fuck is that!”

“It’s a great knight!”

“You know how to use magical power! “A knight!”

“Didn’t they kill all the knights?”

The magic subsided and I looked down at the ground full of torn marks.

People tied to wagons and shackles. Human traffickers who set up camp in front of those people. It was full of signs of drinking and laughing until I showed up.

‘Kill them all.’

I gave strength to my legs. bang! As I drank heavily, my body went straight down the hill.

Kwasik!

First off, I killed one guy.

“Little.”

I looked over at the guy who had died after I kicked him in the face when I landed. All the children trapped in the iron carriage were looking at me.

“Close your eyes.”

At one point, pitch black energy began to form on the silver blade of the scimitar.

“You can’t see it.”

The children, very kindly, closed their eyes.

Soon, two black slashes flew away, avoiding the carriage and the prisoners outside the carriage.

Squeak. The scimitar made a hissing sound.
