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

Episode 448 We Will Be Blessed (5)

“If that’s the case, we have to somehow make time to go.”

“I’m off duty in the evenings because I’m on patrol right now. “I don’t think it would be difficult to ask permission.”

What kind of party is this in these turbulent times? I thought I might hear something like that. One by one, they kicked my thoughts aside and accepted me with lively faces.

It wasn’t until I spoke to them that my nervous mind eased.

“Since we are leaving tomorrow, there will be no alcohol.”

“Haha, we don’t enjoy drinking anyway, so it’s okay.”

“Alcohol… is better without it.”

I feel like Daniel is looking at me with a strange gaze, but it probably doesn’t matter. I walked along as they patrolled and glanced up at the sky.

“It’s a new feeling.”

“…?”

“Didn’t you and I have a very… rough relationship at first?”

Because of the overlapping misunderstandings, things got really ugly. Although it turned out that some of them were not misunderstandings in the end.

“Oh, that’s right. “At that time, I really didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

“What. I heard you slapped me before. “Did you really do that?”

“okay. No, if you think about it again, it’s not even a slap in the face. “It wouldn’t have been surprising if he had been stabbed.”

“It wasn’t that neat.”

Hmm. really? I looked at Daniel secretly. If not him, who was the one who brandished the knife during their first meeting? Was it Daniel 2?

“…Keuhum!”

Daniel cleared his throat with a wide face, as if something had occurred to him when I looked at him. The thing that was most exciting about its appearance was, of course, Maximoyak.

“Haha! “It looks like he was swinging a real sword.”

“Well, aren’t the troubles I have really noticeable? “Unless we hear about it in advance, we can’t help but react like that.”

“Uh… I don’t want to admit it, but I can’t deny it either. “I would have reached for my weapon if Danny hadn’t told me to.”

“Maxi.”

“And… I guess that goes for Kyeong as well, right? We’re probably not the only ones who feel uncomfortable. “I have nothing but respect for your patience.”

Daniel seemed to notice that Maxie’s words were a bit rude. However, I quietly listened to what followed. Proudness filled me before shame.

“I’m glad you said that.”

If I hadn’t been able to endure my discomfort with divine power, this moment wouldn’t have come. I felt pleasure again at that and closed my eyes slightly.

I could feel the cold wind passing through my hair.

“When I go back to my hometown, I will sometimes think of the street food I ate with you.”

Because it was that delicious… and fun.

“…It’s just an honor.”

“I will remember the passage of time for a long time.”

I opened my eyes to their words and folded the end down.

“I’ll see you in the evening.”

“yes.”

“yep.”

ha. A refreshing wind blew.

“You’re gone.”

“I know.”

Meanwhile, Daniel paused for a moment, looking at the adventurer’s back as he walked away. I was aware that I was on patrol, but I couldn’t bear to take my foot off the spot.

“hmm. When everything is over, there might be a banquet or festival. Does that mean you have no intention of participating? “Seeing you say hello in advance like this.”

“well.”

Even though he may feel burdened by his personality, he will not refuse.

However, suggesting a party like this first… is probably because he himself doesn’t know when he will return to his hometown, so he is preparing in advance. Because we don’t know when the specificity of the ‘programme’ will be released.

“Now that I think about it, you said you would go back to your hometown when this was over? “Since you’re talking as if we’ll never meet again, I guess your hometown is quite far away.”

“…okay. When I heard it, it was really far away. “A place so far away that you can’t even imagine.”

“If it’s that far away, shouldn’t we be more involved?”

However, Maxi knows nothing about this. Sir Job did not seem to feel the need to explain even to Maxie, and Daniel also had no intention of speaking freely until Sir Job spoke up.

“As far as I know, he said he doesn’t have the authority to decide the moment to return… but did you guess that?”

That’s why Daniel became a little curious.

Without knowing Lord Job’s circumstances, why did Maxi willingly accept his invitation to a party? If it were normal times, I would have been angry at him for saying something or showing lack of discipline ahead of an important fight.

“huh?”

“Wouldn’t you have refused under normal circumstances?”

“Ah… I didn’t really expect it, just?”

“just?”

“It’s true that I thought there would be circumstances, but I didn’t know that I wouldn’t have a choice. But… the adventurer I saw wasn’t the type of person to talk about having a small party before a big fight. So I just accepted it. “I don’t know what it is, but I thought there must be a good reason.”

“Is that something like that?…”

Well, Maximoyak also has eyes and ears. In addition, Sir Job has quite a history of saving people by putting himself on the line, although it may have been less frequent than the period. He even said that in one of them, he put his own life on the line.

If you didn’t feel something there, you wouldn’t be human.

“But the idea was to hold a farewell party in advance because you don’t know when you’ll be going back to your hometown… It’s especially hard to miss.”

Anyway, Maxie complied obediently, so it was okay. If I had refused or showed my usual temper, I would have been in real trouble.

“Would you like to buy something to eat when you go?”

“…I think we’ll be running out of time to get to the city.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Hmm.”

“Then let’s go back and stab the other kids. “I assure you that at least one of them will have a good one.”

“Don’t take advantage of my brothers and sisters.”

“Brothers and sisters, you can buy us new ones when you get back to the city.”

Really, this bastard… Daniel stuck his tongue out again at Maxi’s squirming. However, the reality was that in the end, I had no choice but to agree because there was no other way. His hand crawled to his forehead.

* * *

Deathbringer sighed as he looked at the guys who only opened their mouths after raising their fists. If he were in the other person’s position, he would have been equally brave, but understanding that didn’t make the annoyance go away.

“So the only thing that disappeared was an old man.”

“Yes yes.”

If you look at the people known to have disappeared so far, there is nothing in common in terms of gender or age or appearance. That means that the unknown thing does not set any standards when it preys on people.

“Hmm.”

Deathbringer glanced at the old man’s range of action that the back alley guys had told him about.

I heard that they don’t come out of their nest except when they go to rescue enemy ships, so I wondered if that was true. Except for the nest, the snow and dust were frozen together.

“The footprints… are these.”

He glanced at the tent, which was just big enough for a small person to crouch down in, and then looked at the footprints in front of it. There were five footprints in total.

“This and this are not the same.”

Traces of just coming and going are excluded. So two were excluded. And one… Looking at the depth and clear shape, it appears to have been engraved most recently, so knowing that, we could exclude this as well.

“Tsk, you couldn’t stand it and brushed it off?”

The edge of the tent has collapsed, and the inside that is slightly visible is in disarray.

Looking at that face, you can see what intention the owner of the last footprints had as he came and went here. Deathbringer clicked his tongue and checked the two remaining footprints.

“…I wonder if this belongs to an old man.”

There was no significant difference between the two footprints in terms of size. One of them had a lot of padded feet, so the marks themselves looked like they were crushed, and the other had quite clear marks, as if they were bare feet.

Deathbringer’s eyes narrowed.

“There are no traces left….”

So did he die here? That means there are no blood stains or signs of resistance.

“Even an old man would not have wanted to die so gently…”

However, the world seen through his eyes was very different from the universal image he knew.

The old man’s footsteps stopped after three steps into the tent, and the last trace of him left without much disturbance. Even though he had overpowered his opponent with overwhelming force, it was a sight that was completely unconvincing.

“What are you really doing?”

What is this bastard doing that eats people without a trace? Did you absorb it through your entire body like slime and digest it?

“…a slime that looks like a human makes me gag.”

But other than that, nothing is explained. Deathbringer stood up, scratching his head. Since I found traces of the suspected culprit, I decided to follow him.

Swish.

He rolled the sword in his hand to prevent it from freezing. At that sight, people all over the alley rolled their eyes and walked away, but it wasn’t anything to worry about.

After all, would a guy who eats people get away with this? If you don’t back down, it’s worth doubting, and if you do, you can stop doubting.

Deathbringer thought so and continued to follow the footsteps.

“ah.”

Until the footsteps lead to a blocked alley.

“Oh shit. “It’s really sick.”

He quickly entered the closed alley and looked for other traces. One trace had suddenly disappeared from the alley wall. There were no signs that it had climbed up the wall and onto the roof of the building.

“Ah…”

I went up to the roof just in case, but nothing changed. Deathbringer narrowed his eyes as he looked at the traces that were not visible at all.

In order to leave no traces like this, you have to be familiar with this area, have a lot of experience, or have great abilities… I don’t know what it’s like here. Seeing as how he knows he needs to cover up, he seems to have at least some intelligence.

“There’s no easy way, really.”

In the end, instead of looking for clues, he started looking at the connected roofs to deduce which direction he would take if he were to run away.

This took a lot of effort and could have been a waste of time if I had not done so, but I couldn’t bear to let it go, even if it was disappointing. Deathbringer’s keen eyes imagined the dark surroundings.

“Probably not, because the left leads to the main road. Go back the way you came? “This isn’t a very attractive option either.”

It doesn’t set up an area or use criteria to select its prey. If it was indiscriminate hunting, if it was indiscriminate and clever, it was a very smart choice.

“I don’t think they would have gone there, especially since it’s a brothel…”

That’s because people don’t disappear from one area at the same time, so isn’t everyone just ignoring it, thinking ‘It’s just one person who went there’?

The fact that the people who disappeared were from back alleys where it would not be strange to disappear at any time, and that they were the only ones left out without any affiliation, also contributed to the insensitivity.

“Then is it this way?”

So he never chooses his prey without thinking. We review and review endlessly to find only those who will not be caught even if we eat them.

“Please take it right. “Hit-and-run is an emissary.”

With that in mind, he quickly jumped from building to building in search of the best hunting spot. At least his prediction that there would be few people coming and going was correct, as the gloomy atmosphere of the street welcomed him.

In the back alleys, power districts were located one by one, but in between, it was an alley where ordinary people or outcasts lived.

“Fuck, start fighting in broad daylight!”

“What are you again?”

“Don’t mind our business!”

“If you don’t want to be interfered with, you can do it in the alley over there! Don’t you think you’ll hear that shit in front of the inn? yes?”

But why is there a familiar voice?

“Oh, the northern bastards do nothing but punch on empty days? “Should we really move the inn?”

Deathbringer heard a voice coming from the building right next to the roof he stepped on, so he sneaked over to it. Then he hung his feet on the eaves and hung his body upside down.

The man who was closing the wooden window with a squeak made eye contact with him through the window.

“Wow, damn it!!”

“Why is Nari Windhand here again?”

“No no no!!”

It was the wind hand.
