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

Episode 434 Declare Now (7)

“Hey. They say that the new member is Mystiltein… “Are you guys okay?”

I was silent for a moment while looking at the dirty blonde man. okay. Crusher and Hawkeye also appeared, but there’s nothing that can’t appear even though they were characters that came out a month before the invasion.

“Okay.”

“Blood, there’s a lot of blood…”

“It’s not my blood.”

I never thought I would say this line. I shrugged my shoulders. Crusher and Berserk near me showed similar reactions.

“Then whose blood is it all?”

At that time, the purple snake that was with the Archmage asked. There was no answer.

“devil.”

“Is there anything else but the devil?”

“He’s a devil.”

Berserk Crusher and I answered one by one and took off our cumbersome cloaks. Rustle rustle. The blood-soaked and frozen cloak fell to the floor with an unnatural movement. Wow, it’s heavy. I stretched my shoulders in vain.

“Isn’t this just… washed in blood?”

Meanwhile, the Deathbringer approached and touched our cloaks. It looks like he was going to retrieve it and take it to the laundry room, but when he felt the cold and saw the blood on his fingertips, he got scared and took his hand away.

“I see you caught a lot. “Did you catch Eulmaena?”

“That’s fifty, I’m twenty-two, this one’s twenty-five.”

“Hey. “If I had known this would happen, would I have taken on patrol duty?”

“…You mean you encountered a hundred demons?”

“Ah, there is a reason for this.”

We didn’t know that a seductive scent targeting demons would be so effective. Since Oman said he could give orders, I thought he might not come at all, but that wasn’t the case.

“Anyway, thanks to you, I made a lot of money.”

“what the. “If I had known that such a noble person existed, I would have followed him… Hey boss, please be sure to include us here too.”

Still, we were fortunate that the crowds were just what we could handle. There were no people who could be called names, so everyone got to the point where they were warming up and making money.

“If I have nothing to say, I want to take a shower. “Can I go?”

“I feel the same way. “If it’s okay, can we talk after I clean myself?”

“No, I don’t have anything else to say other than the fact that this guy is joining, so you don’t have to come…”

I glanced at the dirty blonde man who introduced himself as Mystiltain.

I think it was roughly the concept of a clean-cut guy in the game… He wasn’t ugly, but he was oddly unpopular, so there was no influx of people. The performance was so bad that existing users did not use it. Then, within a month, the entire game fell into disrepair… ugh. It’s been a long time since I remembered this memory, but it’s truly terrible.

“It’s just this one time, so please be nice to me.”

Separately, what is this person… I don’t mean to gossip, but he doesn’t seem to fall into the neat category. Hair sticking out here and there, messy beard, and even wrinkled clothes.

‘Does he have any sense of the clean-cut, neat, sophisticated guy that appeared in the game?’

“Because… they don’t completely match.”

‘I know that.’

If everything was right, the Meister had to be a woman, Hawkeye had to have come from the East rather than the North, and Crusher had to be someone who was shaking with anxiety and not a grumpy personality.

‘I was just… comparing. ‘Because it’s already knowledge.’

But this world is not like that. Because it’s not a game. Because it’s not the game I played. It’s a world where there are just coincidental similarities…

Because I knew him, instead of being shocked, I kept the two facts in mind so as not to confuse them and make mistakes. Mystiltein’s personal information in my mind was updated.

“Yes, please take care of me too.”

After all, if the other person said hello, I should also reciprocate.

I gave him a light eye greeting and then turned around. I wanted to quickly wash away the blood and fatigue from my body.

“…Ah, are you here?”

But there is a passenger in the bathhouse. I hesitated for a moment, looking at the person in the public bathhouse.

Since coming to the Magic Tower, I’ve gotten rid of the habit of insisting on only private rooms… but I still feel a bit embarrassed about the bathhouse. It’s okay to show your arms, but it’s embarrassing to show your naked body to strangers. For the same reason, I rarely went to public bathhouses even when I was on Earth.

“Lord Sapphire, were you here?”

“Yes… I sweat a lot after sparring.”

But going out on the road from here is also ridiculous. I hesitantly slipped inside and grabbed some sanitary supplies. Buck buck. As I scrubbed with soap, the blood was gently washed away.

“But Sir. “Isn’t it time to go to sleep by now?”

Rather, wasn’t your sparring at 1 o’clock? It’s 4 o’clock now, why are you still in the bath? You’ve been watching the commandments all night, shouldn’t you get some sleep?

Sir Sapphire’s lips twitched for a moment at my question. There was no sound leaking out or words dispersing into silence.

“My mind was so complicated that it took so long to soak my body in cold water. “I have to leave soon.”

“…cold water?”

If you look closely at this person, you see he is in a cold bath? And your lips are blue too. Aren’t you crazy?!

“Did you want to die of hypothermia?”

“…That’s not it.”

As I glared at him fiercely, Sir Sapphire came out of the cold bath. Fortunately, there were no symptoms such as stumbling or slurred speech, as he was strong enough to become a chief knight. He walked over and took a dip in the hot tub that I was about to enter.

For a long time, only silence passed between us.

“It’s been less than seven years since I held the title of Chief Engineer.”

And when I finished washing my body and entered the hot tub, Sapphire spoke to me as if confessing. From my perspective, it was a somewhat unexpected and not very curious situation.

“I guess that’s why… I guess I was too lazy.”

But if you show it like that, wouldn’t you be ruining your character? I listened to his mixed feelings.

“Not being able to achieve even a single victory over a mere mercenary… This is how Munmund’s reputation grows…”

But it’s a surprisingly worthwhile concern.

I unnecessarily sank further down in response to the lamentation from someone who had realized my level. As the warm water wrapped around my neck and shoulders, the muscles that had been tense all day relaxed.

“First of all, he is not just a mercenary. “He is a talent worthy of the Archmage’s consideration for making an offer.”

“…I know that.”

“And if you are a mercenary working on the northern front lines, you will have a lot of skills and experience. “It would be good to consider that.”

“Yes, I know that too. “But I…”

Meanwhile, Lord Sapphire doesn’t seem to agree with my words.

Well, it was worth it. The target is a mercenary working on the front line or a person worthy of a recommendation. There’s no way he didn’t know that fact.

But even if I wanted to offer him proper words of comfort, I had to have something in my head. Even though he knows Lord Sapphire well, he doesn’t know anything about Mystiltein in that state.

Since I don’t know anything, I can’t hastily offer comfort. I swallowed the silence that had come again.

“…I heard that we are going to Demon Station together.”

After a while, I chose to ‘change the subject’ as a solution. There was no point in giving hasty consolation. Sir Sapphire said lazily, “Yes.” He answered.

“It could kill you. “Are you prepared for that?”

“This is something I have decided to do from the moment the dispatch was first decided.”

“Are your colleagues of the same opinion?”

“of course.”

I see Both of them are willing to risk their own lives to spy on a traitor…

I’m not sure whether to call this amazing or reckless. Even if the traitor hates cancer, shouldn’t he prioritize taking care of his own life? Anyway, I guess there’s almost no chance of Commandment escaping… but now that I think about it, it might not be there at all. Because you don’t know what’s going on in the world.

“Adventurer, why do you trust him?”

At that time, Sapphire asked a question in a voice that sounded like teeth grinding. He is the bastard who made Munmund like that, so how could you trust him and let him be in your group? Nevertheless, the omitted meaning is very clear.

“It may betray again, just as it did in that city.”

“Well, I didn’t think that was very likely.”

“We may still be receiving orders from the Great Devil!”

“I certainly can’t completely rule out that possibility.”

If Arrogance and Commandment are trying to make a fuss, then it would be a really big deal. From the information she provided to the items she made, everything could be a trap.

“However, her current behavior does not seem to indicate that she has received orders from the Great Devil.”

But if she had really received orders, would she have given up this much information and stayed up all night creating items? Even though we only asked for a little cooperation from her, we didn’t ask for this much dedication?

I think that cooperation proves her innocence. In any case, instructions alone were not enough to make people come up with ideas first and discover numbers 1 to 10. Even though he has a personality that hates dealing with people who are dumber than him and despises people who do not follow the rules of etiquette, he also gets along with people with the goal of inventing.

Such a thing is only possible if you have the driving force you have given yourself.

“More than anything, the woman in my eyes did not seem like someone who would truly follow anyone.”

“That’s true, but…”

If she were someone who revered and worshiped Oman, she might be able to gain strength based on those feelings… Does the commandment respect someone? Are you truly loyal to someone?

I haven’t hung out with her for a long time, but it’s true that I can’t even imagine it. In the first place, even in a situation where his life was at stake, the man was very stiff and said, ‘If you’re going to kill me, kill me.’ But you’re so jealous of my abilities that you can’t kill me?’ He said he was the one who did it.

“What would you do if it was all a ploy?”

“It’s a ploy… it might be so. However, those who are currently by her side are intellectuals who belong to the highest level among humans who have earned the title of great sage or great master. “I don’t think they would be able to recognize even a single trick of the devil.”

In addition, there are always archmages and magic tower owners residing next to the commandment. Although they may have less knowledge than Keimyung, there are always people by his side who are not at the level of noticing even the flaws that Keimyung secretly added.

So, if the commandment really wants to punish apostasy, it won’t do it the way Sapphire is suggesting. Only after entering the Demon Station or the castle of arrogance will his true colors be revealed.

“More than anything, if she really wants to turn against us…”

But then, how effective will her betrayal be?

It may not be a completely meaningless act at the point where the power on this side is -1 and the power on that side is +1, but that’s okay. Strictly speaking, she is a Berserk-level strongman, but she is not an irreplaceable human resource like me or the Inquisitor.

“Wouldn’t you and your colleagues be there to stop it then?”

“…!”

“Or are you just not confident? “Now that you know you’re weak, are you going to just give up and go back?”

Also, the fact that her skills are that good means that she can be blocked even by Lord Sapphire or Lord Zrya who will follow her as a watcher. In other words, her betrayal only eliminates people who we did not attack with all our might, and it is difficult to have any further impact.

I have summarized all my judgments about the commandments with that.

“Not really.”

Lord Sapphire’s eyes began to slowly glow as if he had come to some realization at that point.

“Even if it means I die… I will stop that traitor from achieving his will a second time.”

Of course, that color was not a healthy-looking color. Considering what he went through, I wonder how he could have healthy eyes, but anyway.

“That’s enough.”

Still, I’m glad that I feel like I’ve come out of the depression a bit. If that’s a mentally healthy state, that’s definitely not the case, but wouldn’t it be better for a person to exert strength due to anger rather than to sink and lose energy?

“Separately… I feel sorry for you.”

Of course, sometimes I like the former better. Because anger that is too strong often causes harm to others.

“yes?”

“No matter how much it is for the greater good, am I not the one who forced you to put aside your grudges for a while? “I wouldn’t be short of apologizing a hundred times for that.”

“That’s not something for the adventurer to apologize for.”

“I see…”

I argued and stood up. with a splash. The surface of the water was turbulent, and the air colder than the water touched my skin.

“But let’s make sure of this. “I hope this fight will be the last, and in order to do so, I only tolerate her and do not defend her.”

It’s only been 10 minutes since I took a dip… but I’d rather roll around on the bed in my room than be alone with an awkward person.

“Lord Hani. Can I trust you? “Can I rest assured that you will not interfere with us until this war is over, and at the same time you will prevent the traitors within from interfering with us?”

At the same time, I asked Sir Sapphire a question to prevent any unexpected events. It was a question, but it was also a remark that bordered on pressure.

“…of course.”

But I can’t help it. It’s a big deal for Kyemyung to betray, but it’s just as problematic for two guards to attack Kyemyung out of revenge at a critical moment. The latter even has a record.

“It will never disappoint.”

Fortunately, Sir Sapphire gave me a positive answer with a very firm expression. Whether that will come true will have to be seen in the future, but at least for now, it was a relief.
