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

Episode 417: I Am Here (12)

“It seems like you hate worshipers of lust… a lot.”

“of course! I want to share what they say in the South is a very passionate love. True love, only love! “If you look at it frankly, it’s not like you were a worshiper of lust!”

“If other people treat me kindly on the topic of finding love, I fall in love right away.”

“Some Crusher!”

“Just go to the South. Well, it’s obvious that I’ll come back after less than a year because it’s not fun.”

“What will Crusher do if I never come back?”

“Why? “Now that the annoying guy is gone, I’ll live comfortably.”

I relieved myself of the brief shock I felt while watching Hawkeye and Crusher’s Tiki Taka.

Yes, if a person only spends time on the battlefield, his sense of ethics may break down. Unless I know what he has been through, I have no right to criticize his cruelty.

“I felt it earlier, but neither of you seem like typical northerners.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean I’m defending him. It’s just that I understand that there is nothing we can do because this world itself is a world that basically ignores human rights and it is difficult to survive without this.

Actually, according to the laws of this world, I didn’t make a big mistake, right? Killing a criminal scheduled for execution first may be punishable in some cases, but seeing as he’s here unharmed, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

It’s just that I’m uncomfortable.

“what?”

“Literally.”

Anyway, that’s not what I was trying to say.

Aside from the emotional Hawkeye, I glanced at Crusher, who was quite kind. As expected, these two people are not typical northerners.

“and! “I was praised!”

“Do you think this is a compliment?”

“It means we are special!”

“You bright-faced bastard…”

Crusher cursed with an expressionless face and grabbed his forehead. It was such a strange sight. It’s only northerners who don’t change anything at any moment, except their eyebrows.

“I apologize if I sounded rude.”

“No, there’s no need to apologize. “Because I know.”

However, as she admits, she is different from other people.

“It’s the result of hanging around with that guy too much. Look, even now. “I’m talking too much for unnecessary reasons.”

He’s actually surprisingly talkative and kinder than I expected. This was the part where you could immediately see who she was influenced by.

“Why? “What’s wrong with talking so much?”

“If you talk too much, you can even say useless things… Ha, that’s it.”

Crusher narrowed his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair.

“Is this the end of what we have to say to each other?”

“It feels that way to me.”

“Oh, I still have something to say. “But this should not be told to you, but should be told to the other side.”

“The other side?”

“That green-haired Qureity.”

“Right. “Is it urgent?”

“no. “You can tell me tomorrow.”

“okay. Then visit the Magic Tower before noon tomorrow. “I’ll tell that to him too.”

“Okay.”

What the Wind Hand is talking about is Deathbringing. What else do you need to say to the Deathbringer? As far as I know, there didn’t seem to be anything special between the two…

I felt a little curious, but didn’t dig deep. Anyway, do you know anything? I wonder if what needs to be conveyed is the inside story or something else.

It is not too late to ask questions about this matter after Deathbringer receives everything. If it’s something I can say, I won’t hide it, and if it’s something I can’t say, I’ll keep my mouth shut.

“So is it really over now?”

“okay.”

Do you think you want to go back separately? I see you urging.

With that thought in mind, I got ready to get up.

“Then eat really properly.”

“Oh! good!”

“…?”

It wasn’t. They were just getting started.

“Didn’t I buy you dinner earlier?”

“Just because northerners are heartless doesn’t mean they don’t have shame?”

“Since we are in a physically demanding profession… I thought we would spend too much money if we ate properly, so we ate in moderation!”

“Is that so? “Thank you for your consideration.”

“…I understand how you feel. “Don’t worry about what I buy, just eat it.”

“I’m still planning on doing that. “I’m sure my wallet won’t be poor if I say I’m with a hero.”

“I’ll eat well!”

There is nothing more sad than eating less food. I took the menu and prepared the dishes so that they could eat to their heart’s content. Since I had left midway through dinner, I didn’t have to worry about having any leftover food.

“You know how to do it.”

“Bbbbbbbb!”

“I also tend to use my body to fight.”

Oh, the potato salad here is delicious. I swallowed my potato salad, feeling their sympathetic gazes. It was delicious.

“What are you going to do, Hawkeye?”

After an unexpected late-night snack party, Crusher asked Hawkeye while watching an outsider named Windhand take a room at an inn.

“What?”

“Are you going to accept the offer?”

“Mmm.”

At present, there is no one in this city who is more capable than them. If you search other cities, you might find a couple more, but it would take a few weeks at the earliest for them to get here.

In the end, the warrior will have no choice but to find them. If you’re going to enter the demonic realm, you’ll have no choice but to recruit only the best people.

“What about Crusher? What are you going to do with Crusher?”

“I should have asked first.”

However, is it realistically possible to enter the demon realm and catch the demon lord? I know that the current hero has captured several great demons, but is that really enough to capture the demon lord?

“…I’ll have to see.”

It’s not easy to be sure about anything. If all four people, including the hero, were as strong as the guy who bought me a meal earlier, it might be a bit harsh… but there is no information about the members yet.

I don’t think I can be sure of the success of this plan until I see it with my own eyes.

“Then you can go see it.”

“what?”

“We have nothing to do tomorrow anyway. “Wouldn’t it be okay if we followed the former pirate and went to see it?”

“Did you know when he would leave?”

“I really don’t have any room?”

The moment Crusher was about to say something to Hawkeye, Wind Hand intervened and scratched his head.

“Oh, by any chance, what did you talk about while I was gone? “Did I interrupt you?”

“Not really.”

“I didn’t say much. There’s no room for that? That can’t be possible. Right now, the room we are using is for three people and the remaining space is empty. “It is a room for long-term guests, but there are quite a few short-term guests who have stayed there so far.”

“ah. That room. I heard the story. But it’s too expensive there. “I came here prepared to spend 100,000 gallons a day, but I don’t think it’s possible to spend that much.”

“yes?”

“what?”

“huh?”

Crusher and Hawkeye’s eyes automatically turned to the innkeeper. The innkeeper was startled and slowly took a step to the side.

“…Where are you going?”

Hana Crusher mercilessly pointed his finger at this person.

“Didn’t you clearly say before that just because Hawkeye is using it, even if the remaining space was offered for 30,000 gal, it would barely sell?”

“that’s right. So, they are charging us an additional 500,000 gal every month… They say the double room is full and they don’t even move us every time.”

“But it’s 100,000 gal… How did this happen?”

As the two men put pressure on him with a gloomy face, the cornered inn owner held on and finally spewed out the truth.

“Since he’s a foreigner, I don’t think he knows Hawkeye’s notoriety… hahaha. If we knew each other, I wouldn’t have paid 100,000 gal— ugh!”

Hawkeye, who was holding the innkeeper’s shoulder, approached the innkeeper with a cold face.

“Do you think the owner has put up with it until now because he didn’t know we were being ripped off?”

“I’m sorry—”

“If this wasn’t the only inn that would accept us, if I hadn’t sworn not to mess with civilians, I would have ripped your head off and gone somewhere else… In that respect, the owner has a big heart and is very lucky. “Thanks to those two things, you always survive.”

“Hi.”

“Now then, Mr. Owner. “What should I do now?”

“I’ll let that person stay one night for free….”

“That’s natural. “Isn’t there more to be said?”

“…I will give you back five hundred thousand gals. “Oh no, I will give you back all the extra money I received so far.”

“You’re right, you’re good at it.”

It was only after the innkeeper’s screaming promise that Hawkeye took his hand off his shoulder. Of course, the innkeeper’s shoulder has been bruised for a long time.

“Now then, let’s go up!”

“Is that still okay?”

“are you okay. “Is Crusher okay?”

“If it wasn’t okay, I would have kicked you out first. “I haven’t slept in the same room as a man for more than a day or two.”

“No… I didn’t mean that to ask.”

None of the three expressed regret to the innkeeper. They walked up the stairs to find their rooms.

“don’t mind. “I had to fix it sometime.”

“is it so. I was kicked out of this inn because of an accident, but this was the last place I settled in, so I tolerated it for a while… We were going to meet each other someday and talk about it. “It’s hard for us to cover the additional expenses of 500,000 gal every month.”

“…Won’t you get rejected for the next contract?”

“Oh, it’s okay. “The reason I obediently gave 500,000 gal was to resolve that issue.”

“Uh… is that the solution?”

“tax.”

However, Windson did not understand Crusher’s remarks for a moment and frowned. When he was a pirate, he didn’t have to pay taxes, and now that he was a prisoner, instead of being imprisoned, he had to give all the money to the castle lord, so that word didn’t really make sense to him.

“Do you think the guy who rips off customers paid his taxes properly?”

“If we just report to the security that you took the money you gave us without reporting it, the entire inn will be destroyed.”

But when the two people gave examples, it finally made sense.

“…It’s a really great idea.”

“Right?”

“It’s okay, as long as the inn owner doesn’t go crazy, I’ll give you the money back… Sooner or later, you’ll have 1.5 million gal in empty money. “It’s okay.”

Former pirates and those with the same mindset entered the room with glee.

“Sir, you’re back.”

“…? “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

It was already time for everyone to eat dinner.

I blinked, looking at the four of us who were still awake despite being tired. Meister, looking at the way he is chatting with Timanuk, I can roughly understand why he is awake, but I wonder why the others are awake. When you see the beds and bedding taken out, it looks like the inventory you gave them was put to good use.

“Well… I was planning to go to the temple if you didn’t return by midnight.”

“…Temple?”

What does this have to do with me not being back until midnight and going to the temple… Oh?

“…I’m just asking just in case.”

Looking at the two of them fully prepared to run out at any time, I put out a possible hypothesis.

“Did you think I would be captured by the temple?”

Did these bastards think that I might be mistaken for a devil—which is half true—but taken to the temple?

“…I decided that there was no possibility of that happening.”

“You never know. “There is a wind hand, but still.”

I wondered if it was true and wondered if it was true. I was momentarily speechless at the two people’s remarks. I came here talking to someone I know, not a stranger. Two people I didn’t even know were people who saw me with the priest.

I wonder if I would be misunderstood like that…!

“…Let me tell you it was a useless worry.”

“Yes, I’m so glad.”

“Still, you have to be careful. Who knows, there may be priests who haven’t received the news.”

“…I want to say why are you looking at me, but yeah. “Because there can be cases like that.”

He justified his concerns by citing examples of Deathbringer being alive. It was logical, but somehow a strange rationalization.

“…Stop saying things that are not worth accepting.”

“No, it’s rude, but I’m being too careless—”

“And Baramson said he had something else to say to you. I made an appointment to come to the magic tower before noon, so be careful not to leave before then. If there is a reason you must go out, please let me know in advance. “I’ll give it to you instead.”

“yes? Is the wind blowing? “Me?”

“okay.”

I removed the coat as if it were melting into the shadows, then took out the pajamas from the inventory that was on the nightstand.

Come to think of it, I was told that I had to memorize everything except for a few checked ones. I sighed as I looked at the booklet in my inventory. I don’t want to study. I really hate it.

“Are you going to take a shower?”

“okay.”

“All right. Then I will sleep first. Have a good night.”

“Have a good night.”

Oh, I don’t know. Memorize it tomorrow. I left the task to my future self and traced the location of the bathhouse that the wizards had told me about. It was the end of a long day.
