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

Episode 432 Declare Now (5)

“New personnel is coming?”

“If you pass the test, so be it.”

“Are we dealing with Berserk this time too?”

At dinner time, I listened to the new news, thought about it, and then asked a question. The Archmage shook his head.

“Lord Sapphire will check his skills.”

Sir Sapphire, who was eating with us at a distance from him, bowed silently to me. I really don’t know why it was silent, but I took it as an expression of positivity.

“I see… But is it okay?”

The reason those two joined was to monitor Commandments, but is it okay for them to do other things?

Sir Sapphire swallowed the food he was chewing and politely answered my question.

“it’s okay. Anyway, Lord Zrya is in charge of that time zone.”

“is it.”

Now that I think about it, Lord Zria, I still can’t see that person.

“Is Lord Zrya still under surveillance?”

“Yes, Inquisitor. “You will shift with me starting at midnight.”

Are you doing it for 12 hours per person? No matter how much you monitor your enemies, isn’t that a bit too hard?

“…I think it’s good to get enough sleep.”

“Six hours of sleep a day is enough. “There is no need to worry.”

No, what I meant was that if your lifestyle is like that, your condition will be very ruined when you enter the Demon Station.

“Now that I think about it, there are two people. “Are we going to enter the Demon Station together?”

Now that I think about it, I’m not even sure whether Sir Sapphire or Sir Zrya will enter the demon area together in the first place. I heard that a watchdog for the commandments was coming, but I only heard that part and nothing more. I also felt that Münmund deserved a watcher to come.

“…that Job. “Didn’t I tell you last time that we were going to be together?”

“…Did you tell me?”

“That sir. “You mentioned that last time, when you were making a magic circle with one hand and just idly eating soup with the other hand… We will enter together, but that side will take care of itself, so there is no need to worry.”

Oh yeah?

“…I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. “I know you’ve been through a lot.”

No no. Compared to a researcher who works all night long in real time or an inquisitor who has to travel around a large area of land every day and exude divine power, I am at best…

“If you are going in anyway, wouldn’t it be better to pay more attention to your physical condition?”

“…Thank you for your concern.”

Anyway, I’ll have to dig up Deathbringer before I go to bed and hear more about the situation. It will take care of itself. There is no need to worry. You can get a rough guess just by looking at this… but it’s better to know for sure.

“It’s more surprising that you didn’t take on Berserk.”

It is said that Sir Sapphire is the chief knight, but no matter how much you think about it, it is clear that Berserk is superior in terms of skill. As such, it would be more accurate for her to set the deal meter.

But why is it suddenly Sir Sapphire? At least there is an Inquisitor. Since Crusher is also a member of the group, he is qualified.

“I can’t go out and do the patrol request tomorrow.”

“Request for patrol?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to sort out any minor issues before the second expansion?”

“…Was there such a mission?”

Why don’t you tell me that?

“It’s an original request. “It’s just that the tour outside the city was redirected towards Ma Station.”

“…What is the compensation?”

“The basic fee is 100,000 gal, and if you catch a demon, you will be given 30,000 gal each. A slightly higher level demon can go up to 50,000 or 100,000 gal.”

So, the pay varies depending on how well you do.

“Crusher, are you going too?”

“uh.”

“I’m coming too, adventurer!”

I see Our Kim Man is also going. Of course, you don’t go to kimchi dumplings to get paid, but you go too.

“Can we join you?”

“huh?”

Damn, if we were to leave tomorrow, it would have already been closed. I felt sad and put the soup in my mouth. Damn this is a chance to make money!

“Shouldn’t you have been studying?”

“That’s true, but… I’ve been stuck in my room for over a few weeks, so I’m a bit frustrated, so I feel like going outside for a day. “There are also things I want to try.”

“Well, you haven’t left the magic tower for a whole week…”

Meat Mandu was the first to agree to my words. Thanks to Daniel, who was confined to the lab and rarely returned to his room—he is still in the lab—he moved to the Meister Temple, and he is the only one in the group who knows my lifestyle pattern.

“More than anything, I have to spend money…”

“Money?”

“huh?”

“yes?”

Everyone’s eyes widened at my words. He seemed particularly embarrassed, perhaps because I had never said that I was sorry about money.

“What happened?”

“It’s nothing special, I was thinking about changing the equipment.”

“iced coffee.”

However, when I explained the reason, they—especially the Archmage—looked very relieved.

“If it’s a problem like that, tell me. “I will give you any amount of money.”

“Hmm.”

Ugh… Isn’t that a bit like that?

“It’s the same for everyone else. Since you have decided to enter the demon realm and catch Satan, all organizations have an obligation to support you and help you. “Not to mention equipment and other necessary items.”

But after listening to the story, it was like that again. If we’re going to save the world, isn’t this kind of help a given?

“Oh, then can I change my equipment?”

“Feel free to change it. However, in the case of magic equipment, custom manufacturing will be a bit difficult. “There are a lot of things going on right now, like going to the border, doing research, and eating up materials.”

“I don’t want that. “I want to buy some magic tools that are already on sale.”

“I know.”

Mmmmmmm. But I’m buying these shoes because I’m sorry for breaking the weapon. Can I use borrowed money to pay for this?… If you think about it, it’s okay because it’s money for carrying out a mission of great significance.

I spent the rest of my meal worrying about things I couldn’t find the right answer to.

For reference, it was possible to participate in the patrol request even though it was late.

morning. The time when everyone opens their eyes to the sunlight and starts their day.

Hawkeye briefly remembered his childhood during that time. The time when Crusher and Tanya played while holding each other’s hands, and his parents were alive and well, confirming their love for each other.

“I mean. “I really hate devil worshipers.”

[Really?]

“Yes.”

The memories of that happy and pure day are the same as always.

A devil worshiper with an extremely beautiful appearance lures her parents into ruining their family, and the three of them are executed by a soldier.

The same goes for Tanya, who turned 17 and grew up to be even more beautiful. She falls for the cult of lust, betrays him and Crusher, and ends up being shot by his arrow. So it is stuffed into the past. Just like his parents did.

“But love is really, really good.”

Therefore, love is fleeting and worthless.

“You’re excited, aren’t you? “I’m excited just thinking about it.”

Love is only for psychopaths who worship lust, and at the top of those psychopaths is the devil.

“So, but….”

So. That’s why.

“Would you like to get some holy water so I can feel safe?”

Hawkeye, like the demon of lust, decided to try seducing others by putting love into his mouth. There was no feeling of guilt. In any case, the only ones who sincerely cried out for love were devil worshipers.

“If you are a devil, I will kill you cleanly.”

Only devil worshipers and idiots who would fall for them cried out for true love.

Sapphire watched the shadows on the window gradually shrink. Perhaps because they were wary of someone peeking through the window, the glass on the window was ground to the point where it became hazy.

“This will be the last time we make a product that maximizes firepower and portability, ignoring all efficiency.”

“of course. “Because the only things we’ve made so far are things that are more than a certain cost-benefit ratio.”

Although glass with a ground surface transmits light like low-quality glass, it does not clearly illuminate the scenery on the other side. It was an ironic thing. In some places, people struggle to make clean glass, but here they are grinding the surface on purpose.

“But for really strong things… that doesn’t work.”

“That’s right. “Existences that deviate from the standard cannot always be solved with ordinary items.”

Is this also one of the magic tower’s self-displays? Do we boast that we have enough money to buy that expensive glass – clean and clear – and at the same time destroy it as we intend to use it?

“In that sense, those people really don’t seem like people.”

“Great Sage? Or the wizard Timanuk?”

“They were the same as before, and these two new people are here.”

If that’s really the case, I think he’ll hate this magic tower a little. If we had the money to buy and install glass like this, we could have done one more research that would save the lives of soldiers.

“I thought I had one hair too, but… I can’t possibly say that in front of those people. “If there were a genius, would he be like that?”

No… in fact, even if there wasn’t something like this, he wouldn’t like this magic tower.

“It’s so overwhelming that I don’t even feel jealous. “I just admire you.”

“me too.”

As long as the traitor is here and the wizards of this magic tower envy that traitor, it will be like that forever.

Sapphire’s fingernails dug into her palms. The calluses on my hands were rubbing against each other, making it feel like a hard rock rolling across my palm.

“What happened to the 16th clinical trial of the magic potion?”

“The problem of my stomach being torn has improved somewhat, but a new problem of nosebleeds has arisen.”

“Oh shit I’m going crazy. Why does one place keep popping up?”

“If you try to immediately accept something that is not your magic power, there is bound to be a backlash.”

“That…”

However, an unpleasant feeling that was sharper and harder than calluses entered my ears. Sapphire barely took her eyes off the window she had been watching for hours.

“So this is impossible to solve?”

“No, if a problem arises because it is not your own magic power, you can use your own magic power.”

“There is nothing wrong with anything.”

“Now that we have succeeded in refining magic power into liquid rather than materializing it, we can now receive magic power from them… Why do we all have to go out because the day we go to the plague is a market day?”

Even though the surveillance target was nearby, there was no reason why he was looking at the window instead.

At this distance, not only was it possible to check movement without necessarily looking at the target… I felt like I wouldn’t be able to control my emotions if I looked at the traitor for 12 hours. So it was.

Only after he saw that it was approaching noon did he look back at the person his back was turned to.

“Putting aside the things that don’t work, what about walkie-talkies?”

“We are currently creating a harsh environment.”

“Are you still creating the environment?”

“Even installing windmills for batteries requires manpower. “Didn’t you say that we should make Tei military weapons instead?”

“I need to make that too, but the blacksmith shop isn’t built yet.”

“Then why don’t you make a bomb with me? Everyone is poor at making circuits, so the work is slowing down.”

“I’m sorry for being clumsy…”

Nevertheless, he had to tighten his fist again due to the irritation that was rising for a moment. The sight of a traitor behaving like an innocent researcher surrounded by wizards was so heinous and repulsive. This was even more so because the author who tried to destroy his hometown was respected and revered here.

It was a moment where I once again understood the feelings of the newcomer who pulled out his sword as soon as he saw it.

“…Whew.”

Still, he did a great job with his surveillance last night. At least that must have been the case since there was no news from him.

If you do that, he, your senior, will have to carry out his duties without causing trouble. As the chief knight of Munmund, it is a disgrace to the city to commit another incident.

“Great Sage, Great Sage!”

“What’s going on?”

However, just before his mission was over, a wizard ran down the hallway and glided into the common laboratory.

“Master Suzaku has arrived!”

If it was urgent news, it was urgent news.
