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

Episode 414: I am here (9)

“Devil knight? “I’ve heard a lot about him somewhere…”

“He’s about the same height and his hair color is different on both sides.” I was sure it was in this city. “Have you ever seen it?”

The Sland man raised his hand above his head to give a rough estimate of his height. The words he added are the most prominent characteristics of that person that distinguish him from ordinary people.

“The hair color is different on the left and right? “That’s kind of amazing—huh.”

“If it’s a different guy on the left and right… Isn’t that the guy from earlier?”

Also, Crusher and Hawkeye both happened to know someone with that appearance. To be precise, I should say that I have encountered it before.

“oh! Have you seen it?”

“okay. “I saw it once at the temple and once on the street.”

“Then do you know where you are now?”

When they answered that, the man stood up and placed his hand on the table with an excited face. Even though the face that was shown to me was a little burdensome, I could feel the enthusiasm of having searched so hard, so it was worth it to look at it.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know the location. All I did was just come and go and see their faces. “It’s such a striking impression, isn’t it?”

“He seemed to have a good personality as well as a noticeable impression.”

But unfortunately, they did not have a very deep connection with that being. Even if they wanted to tell you, there is no information worth sharing.

Crusher’s hands rose into the air and Hawkeye fell down on the table. There seemed to be some sense of regret.

“Oh, I guess so. Still, I’m sure it’s here… Thank you! I buy this drink. “Oh, this is purely a thank you for the information, so please don’t misunderstand anything.”

“don’t worry. “Because I already know that you don’t seem to have such intentions.”

I saved money on drinks with this. While Crusher was thinking about this and was about to drink a beer, Hawkeye, who was covering the table with his long body, crossed his arms and cut his face.

“But why are you looking for that person? “If you came this far away… are you possibly a lover?”

“huh? Haha, is that possible? “That guy isn’t the type to do things like dating.”

“Huh, really? It didn’t really seem that way….”

“Do we know by just seeing the face, or do we know better if we know each other? “Stop talking about romance.”

“But it’s fun.”

“It’s not fun at all!”

Crusher shouted at Hawkeye’s words and then finished his beer. In an instant, the large glass was emptied.

“So what’s the real reason you’re looking?”

“It’s nothing special… I just heard that you’re having a hard time these days, so I came here to see if I could help you.”

“Oh…”

This is a way of thinking that is unimaginable in the North. Crusher raised his hand, wondering if this was the human statue of the South.

“Hey, one more beer!”

“Eat your own food.”

“Ha, where did you throw away your original intention? “The spirit of service has been ruined.”

“If you tease me, go somewhere else.”

Look at how they treat me roughly as a regular. If we keep doing this, we will fail.

Crusher clicked his tongue and poured himself a beer. Even if it was cold, I couldn’t give up beer, which naturally cools in the cold air without any special measures.

“If it’s better than that, could you tell me about a good inn to stay at?”

“I guess you haven’t found a place to stay yet?”

“That’s it, and isn’t that guy going to at least stay at the inn? “I’ll try to look for it from there.”

“Hmm. “What is the level?”

“I don’t have a lot of money, so I probably won’t use a cheap inn. At least it guarantees a single room… and it must have a bathroom. “It’s a private bathroom, not one shared by many people.”

“The big guy left cleanly.”

“Why can’t you be neater?”

Crusher was silent for a moment at Hawkeye’s words, but eventually agreed. This was because Hawkeye was included in the ‘big guy who trembles neatly’.

“Anyway, those are the conditions. We don’t know of many inns, but if we have those conditions, we’ll probably find one quickly. “There aren’t many people on this floor who care about cleanliness.”

Even though I want to pay attention, firewood is expensive, so I tend to stick with it without washing it for the most part. Naturally, public baths and private bathrooms were almost completely destroyed. After a few rounds of shopping, you will get an estimate right away.

“Oh yeah. You were with that priest earlier. “Couldn’t you have gone to the temple?”

“…You were with a priest? really?”

“hmm?”

Crusher blinked at the sight of the other person questioning him as if he had heard a strange sound.

“I was with the Heretic Questioner. Do you have any problem?”

“No… no.”

“…?”

“Anyway, the temple might also be a possibility. “Thank you for letting me know.”

I was a little curious, but it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. Crusher immediately caught his attention and thought of inns he knew.

“First of all, the inn we are staying at meets the standards you are looking for. However, during our stay, we have never seen such a person come as a guest.”

Since I am a long-term guest, I tend to run into quite a few guests as I come and go. However, what does it mean that we have not yet witnessed his impressive appearance and presence?

It probably means he has decided to stay overnight or is staying somewhere else.

“Okay okay.”

“If it were another inn…”

They talked for a while and only after finishing dinner did they stand up. They were going back to the inn, and the Sland man was checking to see if the person they were looking for was staying there.

“Oh, there’s a temple on the way. Why don’t we check to see if the paths overlap?”

“Oh, then it’s easier for me. Are you guys going to be okay?”

“This is it. “Is Crusher okay?”

“Well, I paid for the meal.”

Anyway, he’s such a broad guy. Crusher followed Hawkeye, wondering how someone like that could come out of the North.

“Oh yeah. Do you remember the appearance of the Heretic Questioner you went with?”

“Just remember. “There was a guy with a reputation as a heretic executioner behind him, and there was no way he didn’t know about it.”

“…Executioner?”

“The number of devil worshipers who have broken bones with a mace is over a hundred, the Inquisitor. Since we have different affiliations, we haven’t really become involved, but we are quite famous in the city. “He’s normally gentle, but when he goes on a heresy hunt, he turns crazy.”

Well, there are some really famous people in that field. Crusher’s gaze caught a glimpse of Hawkeye.

“…That guy was with that kind of person? “What’s the mood like?”

“Are you okay?”

“It was just like being friends, chatting amicably.”

“…That can’t be possible.”

That person became friends with the priest? really? No, he was a priest to begin with, and he wasn’t the type of person to create a friendly atmosphere with others.

The Sland tribe mumbled something with a puzzled face. He didn’t seem that indifferent, callous, or harsh, but I wondered if there was some kind of misunderstanding.

“Anyway, thank you. Me indeed. “I didn’t think he was a great person whose temperament would dull with the passing of time… but in the end, even reefs are worn down over time.”

“It’s a reef… I guess you used to have one personality?”

“What did you say? “There was no such thing as a tyrant.”

“Are you here to help such a tyrant?”

“Because he is a benefactor.”

At Crusher’s words, the other person laughed until his teeth were exposed.

“A benefactor who not only saved my life, but also my family and my hometown.”

There was something about the emotions expressed at that moment that touched even the heart of the famously unwavering Northerner.

Hawkeye, who was very sensitive, covered his mouth and Crusher turned his head away.

“So this time I have to go help. “If what you’re saying is correct… it seems like it’s already been resolved somehow.”

“…Well, I know that southerners are fierce when it comes to silver.”

“What? There are only people here who forget all about grace?”

“Is that possible? But usually, even if you repay a favor, it doesn’t go this far. “There are many things to pay for in a calculated way.”

“Ugh. That’s completely heartless. “There’s no romance!”

“What kind of romance is freezing romance?”

“Why do I look so good? “The South is such a great place!”

“You… that’s it.”

A guy who has no choice but to live on the battlefield, especially on the northern front, always attacks the south.

Crusher snatched a skewer from a merchant who was about to close down his business and stuffed it into his mouth. No one other than the seller would know what kind of meat it was made from, but that was probably a good thing. She, too, had no choice but to live on the battlefield.

“What should I eat when the war is over?”

“Crusher?”

“Things like this may be possible because the end is truly in sight.”

“What, did you come up with a way to catch the demon lord?”

“I didn’t hear… they said they came from the rear.”

If it came from the rear, could the rumor still be true? Crusher crushed the finished skewers in his fist and crushed them into powder.

“Tell me, Hawkeye.”

“Are you making me do this?!”

Okay. Hawkeye, who made a groaning sound, finally opened his mouth in her place.

“The city is recruiting adventurers and mercenaries on a large scale to expand the wall.”

“Expand the wall…?”

“The idea is to push the wire further down.”

“Is that possible?”

“We don’t know. However, seeing as Suzaku joined us in the morning, it is clear that he is sincerely trying.”

There is a rumor being carefully spread from the magic tower in charge of communication with other cities. The rumor that a hero hunting the Great Devil is with Suzaku.

“There are also stories about the death of Gluttony…”

“Gluttony? Great devil?”

“yes. “I’m not sure if it’s true or not since he’s just a mercenary, but seeing as the food restrictions have been freely lifted, it’s probably not just a rumor.”

“I see…”

“If the front line goes a little further down, you might be able to see the devil’s face. It is said that several of the great devils have already been killed by the hero… Maybe they can even target the devil lord.”

“So everyone is pretending not to be excited. “If all the rumors are true… and it really reaches the Demon King, this old fight may end.”

“Oh….”

At their explanation, the other person wrinkled his nose and expressed admiration. It wasn’t complete admiration, but it didn’t bother me too much. Whether all of this doesn’t make sense or there are other reasons, it’s ultimately their own situation and not something they need to know.

“Ah, it’s a temple.”

“Are you here? “Wow, it’s no joke.”

“Because this is a land that cannot exist without a priest.”

“…I’m not really close to Temple Ha.”

“Why have you ever been involved in a heresy?”

“Rather than that… or similar. Anyway, there is a record of being swept away and killed in droves.”

“Oh…”

I never thought what I said as a joke would hit the nail on the head. Crusher admitted that he had made a mistake this time. Of course, there was no apology.

“Well, as a sea man, I can’t give in to this kind of hardship. “Good, I’m back!”

“cheer up!”

The man patted his cheek and strode into the temple with white breath.

“But Hawkeye.”

And when the man entered the temple and was out of sight, Crusher belatedly realized one thing.

“You don’t usually accept visits at this time, do you?”

“Uh… I forgot.”

Hawkeye’s face was filled with embarrassment.

“Should I go stop him right now?!”

“No, it’s been a long time since I went in. “After hearing what the priest said, he will come out on his own.”

“You feel even more guilty…!”

Hawkeye stamped his foot. He was as tall as a stick, so he was extremely awkward. Crusher’s expression crumpled.

“It’s annoying, so stop.”

“Still…”

“Ah, it’s coming out.”

“hot!”

Fortunately, the man came out with his tail before Crusher’s temper was completely scratched. Since I can’t hear any grumbling, it looks like I didn’t hear any harsh comments, but I don’t know why it got its tail.

“That kid from earlier?”

“what?”

At Hawkeye’s words, Crusher frowned and focused on the outline in the dark. Certainly, the person behind the man was small and light. Like a pre-teen.

“You waited a long time, right?”

“Not really… What about that kid?”

Eventually, the face he saw as he got closer looked familiar, just as Hawkeye said. It was the guy who stole their wallets—I guess it was more like stealing their bags while they were going to the bathroom—so there was no need to get confused.

“They said they were going to send me off now that the discipline was over, so I walked with them.”

“hmm.”

They said they would send me off for dinner and they definitely gave me an excuse.

Crusher looked up at the sky where the sun had set. If the boy had been held in the temple until this time, the boy’s group would probably verbally abuse him, but it would not go as far as lynching him. You will just think that the boy had an unlucky day.

“okay. “Did you get what you got?”

“uh. Surprisingly, he stayed at the Magic Tower.”

“Magic Tower?”

“okay. So, can I know where the direction of the Magic Tower is?”

The man who was stroking the boy’s head laughed heartily.

Crusher and Hawkeye looked at each other.

“Surprisingly… on the way to our inn.”

“I guess I can stop by on the way!”

It was an insignificant coincidence.

“Now that I think about it, I think I’ve seen a good talent.”

Also, strangely enough, when they headed to the magic tower, a story about them came out of the magic tower.

“Is that true?”

“okay. “It was two people… The feeling I felt was unusual. It might be a good idea to contact them.”

This too was a trivial coincidence.
