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

Episode 413: I am here (8)

“I am advancing with the entire city. “If it succeeds, it will be huge.”

I picked only the tomatoes, scooped them out again, and calmly opened my mouth. Although it was shocking, it was not something that was so unexpected.

“Can we understand this as an operation in which we are the first team and the entire city is the second team?”

“That’s accurate.”

If lust and sloth try to hit us in the rear during the charge, the city will back us up.

It would be better if they attacked before the decisive battle with Oman or Satan. All you have to do is hit the two guys like hitting an anvil with a hammer. Even if some kind of situation arises and a retreat is necessary, it will be possible to retreat more easily.

“If this city were too protruding, there would be room for it to be attacked by the devil.”

“Oh, that will be difficult.”

At that time, Berserk made a rather sharp point. Really, I felt once again that they were the ones who could use their brains but didn’t.

“Additional troops, including five magic tower lords, are scheduled to come to this city. One of the magic tower lords who is coming will have barrier magic and the other will have bombardment magic.”

“Is this a strategy to focus all your efforts on this side? Then, as for other cities….”

“I will give you other cities.”

Meanwhile, Meister, who was finally released from mute, glared at the commandment and spoke.

“Whether it is lust or laziness, it is said that the original ability is not that strong. So, if they target another weakened city, just stop them among themselves. If they target the main force, they will catch them in reverse. “I guess that’s what you think.”

“Wait a minute… So there’s a sacrifice.”

“No matter what you choose, sacrifice is inevitable. “It would be wiser to narrow down the enemy’s options and end the fight quickly.”

“…It’s heartless, but it’s not wrong.”

Sacrifice is inevitable. I gently raised my eyebrows at the words of the commandment, but did not deny them. In reality, the essence of war was to build victory on sacrifice.

“If you don’t stop us or the main force, the front line will narrow, and if you target us or the main force, it will be an unfavorable fight for the devil as well. Not bad. But what if they further strengthen the magic circle of Oman by destroying other cities? What are you going to do about that? “I heard that it’s not just sloth and lust that are on the front line, but there’s also a newly added devil.”

“Eve is corrupting. He alone can never bring down a city. Also, it doesn’t really matter if he joins hands with the Great Devil or if his brothers join forces to take the city.”

Keimyung drank tea as if he had just finished eating. White fingers poured the heated milk into the tea. It was another tea drinking method used by northerners who were always suffering from a calorie shortage.

“As long as that one city is destroyed, we will be able to reach the Demon King’s Castle without interference.”

“Do you think we can get there in one day?”

“If Suzaku chooses not to go there for support, there is no reason not to go there.”

“That is too much of a sacrifice! “I think it would be better for us to follow Suzaku there and catch the Great Demon.”

“as you please. “That wouldn’t be a bad idea either.”

Instead of losing its transparency, the thickened milk tea took on a sweet brown color.

“But I predict that although the two great devils may step forward, they will no longer step forward.”

“Why?”

“As long as the magic circle is complete, if we succeed in killing only us, the pushed front line can be restored at any time.”

“….”

“There is no need to disperse power in arrogance. In his eyes, it will be you two, not the majority of the weak, that will decide the outcome of the war.”

So… Now that we are at a disadvantage, are we going to take a breath and try to fight in a team fight in the next breath rather than wasting time? That is how I understood the words of the commandment. This is probably not a wrong interpretation.

Tup. In addition, my hand followed the commandment and stopped the girl who was trying to pour milk into the water—not tea, just water. It’s good that the child started acting like a child as soon as he knew that it was okay to be a child, but it’s really difficult when it happens like this. There is truly no paradise for curiosity.

“There is a saying that the more urgent you are, the more you have to go back. “Isn’t there a possibility that, driven by the strengthening of arrogance, we will end up in a hurry and end up in trouble?”

“Strengthening arrogance does not simply mean strengthening its original strength. “It means that the household it commands and the lives it creates all hold greater power.”

“…Satan, even if you leave it to future generations, you must kill him for his arrogance.”

“Accurate.”

“Ugh… if this goes on, there won’t be any change in strategy in the end.”

“It is an operation that has already been implemented in the first place. “Some things may change depending on the situation on the ground, but the big picture will not change.”

“I see…”

Deathbringer slumped down on the desk with a strangely intimidated look on his face. Since I had left all the dishes behind, I didn’t end up getting my face stuck in the food.

“Then I guess that’s where I’ll end it.”

“…? “What does that mean, Mangjong?”

“No, they say that there is not enough food in Majyeok and that devils appear from time to time. In the first place, the ground was dry and it was not an environment where food could be found. The commandment will be there to guide you, right? If I do that, there will be nothing I can do… I think it would be better to stay here rather than follow them and eat up the food.”

“That’s…”

“That’s true. “In relation to this, it is confirmed that I will also stay.”

“Me too… I think it would be better to get out of here. Honestly… I don’t think I’ll be of any help in this fight.”

“Everyone, including Brother Daniel…”

Deathbringer and Meister Daniel expressed their opinion that they would be excluded one by one. The Inquisitor then looked embarrassed… but in truth, it was something that could not be helped. As Deathbringer said, in this environment, it is more efficient to stay than to follow.

“I am going. “I’m not as strong as you, but I can help take care of the bad guys.”

“It’s okay for a fighter to go.”

“So, those four are the ones leaving as a starter?”

“Four people?”

“Nothing good will come of me following you.”

“Even Archmage…”

In the end, is it the commandment of Inquisitor Berserk that leads me to go?

Instead of feeling regretful like the Inquisitor, I furrowed my eyebrows vaguely as I looked at the personnel composition.

“Is it full of water again….”

“…?”

The balance between physical and magic damage must be right so you don’t get embarrassed no matter what gimmick is used. Damn it, it’s an environmental problem so there’s no way to solve it. There is absolutely no need for this kind of sortie restriction system.

“Don’t be too sad.”

Separately, while I was needlessly cursing the world, Deathbringer consoled the Inquisitor with a blunt tone.

“Who knows what we can accomplish here? Even in Bemurchen, the master Nari and I…”

Of course, his comfort was dimmed when he inadvertently brought up a specific topic. It was clear that I was remembering what kind of situation I had become at that time, even if it was too late. Well, actually, I don’t care if you talk about what happened back then.

“okay. “You are right.”

Honestly, I have to remember something properly.

“I’m sorry. There are a lot of things that need to be touched in order to restore erased memories…”

‘No. I think it’s better just not to remember.’

The only thing I can remember from that time is that I had an electric chicken. In such a situation, would I really be happy if I had to find out about the latter part? I don’t think so.

“Kam, who took care of the hidden devil worshipers, Te, who could back us up with tremendous artillery equipment, Geumpung, who always supported us reliably, and Daniel, who, as the Inquisitor, would hunt down the hidden devils. Because you are behind us, we can move forward with peace of mind.”

In any case, staying in the rear does not mean that there is no need to do anything, and it is not because they want to stay, so there is no reason to feel regretful or uncomfortable.

I said that and gave the girl some freshly brewed milk tea. When the honey was dissolved, the girl swallowed it, gulping it down.

“I am Nari.”

“Ha, even if you flatter me so much, I can’t make that again.”

“I’m even more embarrassed because I know this is so sincere.”

“I have nothing to do compared to you.”

“A certain adventurer, me too…”

But why did the group break down again? After the concept was solved, I received a lot of praise. Are you still not used to it? And why is the Inquisitor like that again? Do you want to have milk tea too?

“I monopolized the milk too much. Now, pour as much as you want. “You probably already know that.”

“Uh… yes. thank you.”

As I poured the milk, the Inquisitor looked somewhat withered. I felt like I knew then what she wanted.

“If you don’t like milk tea, don’t force yourself to eat it.”

“…! yes!”

Should I call you by my nickname more often from now on? But since I’ve been singing it until now, it doesn’t really stick to me.

“I’m thinking for a moment that there’s no need for just the four of us to go separately.”

“Are you going to add extra things?”

“No… I don’t mean that, I just mean that there is no need to limit the talent pool to only those who are currently in this position.”

“That is unrealistic. “If there were talented people like you, the front lines would have been…”

“No, I think the adventurer’s words are valid.”

Berserk, who had taken not only the meat but also the sweets – or had taken them away – from the girl, crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.

“I may not be as good as those two, but if there are two people as skilled as me, it will be helpful in dealing with miscellaneous tasks and wasting time.”

There was no commandment to refute these words. It meant that she also acknowledged this part.

“It would be a good idea to find and recruit people with such abilities before departure.”

The Inquisitor made his final decision as if it were the final nail in the coffin. Recruiting colleagues. It was time to go back to basics.

“You wait a minute.”

“…?”

Well, I guess I need to have a word with the commandments before I go back to basics.

“iced coffee. “I thought I had finally found the person I would marry.”

Hawkeye, the hunter who heard the sound of the shrine, lowered his head as it was said that one arrow at that time could kill a demon ten miles away. Disappointment is dripping from his closed eyes.

“Are you still thinking that?”

“But it’s rare to find someone who is kind to children. And usually people like that have a good personality.”

“Well, it’s not wrong. “Isn’t that possible because he’s not from the North in the first place?”

“How do you know where you’re from? “Do you know each other?”

“Is that so? You just have white skin. And if there was such a strong guy on the front lines, there’s no way rumors wouldn’t have spread by now. “It must be something new this time.”

“I see…”

At Hawkeye’s words, Crusher, a fighter who had crushed demons with only his trained fists and feet, placed his hand on his shoulder. Anyone who saw it looked like he was patting a friend who was feeling discouraged.

Although, due to the height difference between the two, their hands barely touched each other’s shoulders, creating a somewhat comical scene.

“Okay, let’s go to a bar instead!”

Crusher shouted, unable to see his friend’s depression. Hawkeye’s head lifted up.

“They said they didn’t have money to change the equipment recently.”

“Hey, there’s a new request that came in this time!”

“Spend the advance fee!?”

“It’s a request I can’t refuse anyway, so why not?”

“But you’re already having fun…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Crusher patted Hawkeye on the back and laughed until his fangs were exposed.

“If this grand plan to expand the wall really succeeds, there will be a lot less money being made like this. “You should enjoy it now.”

“No, don’t you usually think of saving there…”

Hawkeye’s other words did not reach her. In the end, Hawkeye’s body, caught by Crusher, was dragged into a bar.

“Crusheroooo. Even if everything else is done, I don’t think it’s worth spending the advance fee—”

“You’re the devil!”

“huh?”

“Yes?”

However, when the two bodies reached the bar, someone shouted from inside the bar they were about to enter.

“Hey devil. “You’ll keep the unpleasant sounds out, right?”

“Don’t lie! “Unless the person who tries to buy alcohol from a stranger is the devil…!”

“What is he saying now?”

So, when the two people take a peek inside the bar, they see a typical northerner and a person who looks like they’ve never seen each other arguing.

“It’s not just cold here; is it even cold in people’s hearts? “You’re really going through a lot of trouble.”

A type of decoration that I have never seen before, hanging down even on thick fur clothes. The skin color is dark but very different from that of northerners. It is a Sland tribe like Hawkeye, but has a slightly different skeleton.

Except for clothing, most of the attributes that make up the appearance are by no means northern. In other words, that person is not a northerner.

Realizing this, Crusher and Hawkeye’s eyes narrowed slightly to the center.

“Look, I just wanted to hear something and wanted to buy you a drink. If you don’t like it, just say you don’t like it. “Don’t arbitrarily accuse people of being evil.”

“It’s no use trying to pretend like that! The priest immediately…!”

I don’t want to intervene, but I still have to. It’s unpleasant when an innocent victim shows up, and it’s annoying when the place that comes to comfort Hawkeye becomes crowded with people saying they’re priests or guards.

Above all, if the owner of the bar sees them, he will be wondering for a while whether this is one of his regulars. Crusher rubbed the back of his neck as the future was already being imagined.

“Hey stop it.”

“…?!”

“…?”

“It looks like he’s from another province and is new to the North, so there’s no need to push him around that.”

“Yeah, it looks like it’s because I really don’t know more than the devil, but let’s not be too sensitive.”

“…that.”

“Please don’t be too angry either. “Didn’t you hear a lot of talk about lust while you were here?”

“…I didn’t know it would be this fucking bad. “Cities that weren’t front lines weren’t like this.”

“Because it’s literally not a power line there.”

“okay. “I learned something new today.”

The person whose hair was braided into dozens of fine braids stroked his hair and expressed his gratitude. I expected it, but I thought it was my first time coming to the front line.

“Where are you from?”

“Jakrati.”

“Jakrati…?”

“That’s the land across the southern sea.”

“You must have come from so far away, across the sea.”

“Wow, this is my first time seeing someone from the south.”

“okay? “I guess southerners don’t come here very often, right?”

“The northern front is right in the middle. “They say you can still see it in the city located at the end of Yangga, but it’s rare for people to come all the way here.”

They decided to sit like this for now. Crusher and Hawkeye too. It was because I was secretly curious about other regions.

“So why did you come? “To this far away place.”

“Oh, I…”

However, when the alcohol was served first, the person who took a refreshing sip of the beer grinned.

“I’m looking for a man called the Demon Knight. I have something to tell him.”
