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

Chapter 194

Episode 194: I Tried to Shout (3)

“Thank You.” Thanks to this, there was little damage.”

I made a sour face while listening to the guard’s thank you.

“I just did what I had to do.”

Then he put his foot out towards the person who had just approached him.

Then the priest purified the curse from the bottom of the shoe. The sight of the black liquid disappearing looked like my boots were slightly shrinking.

“The cause is.”

Regardless, the concept is not to do this to receive thanks.

I looked at the area the other priests had just purged. The area where you pass through the walls is full of people’s bodies and the luggage they brought with them. These are people who were caught up in the curse and died without even a chance to save themselves.

“...They’re demon followers, right?”

Even though I saved quite a few people, it is only a handful compared to the total number of victims.

I stood up, saddened by that fact.

Then, the inside situation, which had been obscured due to the angle, became more visible.

“Fucking devil worshipers.”

The most notable among them were the soldiers and adventurers who died at what appeared to be a checkpoint. Between the adventurer and the soldier is a wooden box and dozens of gourds inside the box.

The fact that everything was broken makes me think that there was a curse in that gourd.

“God, give peace to these poor people...”

one of the guards prayed as he took the soldier’s body. Then everyone present bowed their heads as well.

Solemnity colored the air blue.

“...Does this happen often?”

“Not very often. But it’s not rare either.”

The priest who was also praying next to me answered.

“I understand that several cities in the north have already been hit like this.”

It was with some pretty terrible news. There was nothing like this in the South.

I heard that the front line there is particularly fierce, so I guess that’s why news like this is focused only on the north.

“But this time the damage was minimal. “It was blocked from entering the city.”

well. Does this really cause little damage? It is obvious that more damage would have been caused if it had been transported into the city, but that would only be greater damage. Isn’t this small damage?

“...But all the gates will be closed today. “Maybe until tomorrow.”

I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the bodies neatly laid out on the floor.

“Don’t come closer!”

“Hey, our luggage...”

“Get back! “Your luggage will be returned after a thorough search!”

“So what happens with the inspection?”

“The doors will be closed until the situation is resolved!”

“Wait a minute, then when can we go in...!”

“Get back! “Details will be communicated later!”

Unfortunately, the work here has only just begun.

* * *

“What kind of mess is this?”

“...no shame.”

“Is it all right without shame?”

A woman who was one head taller than an average middle-class man stood up from her seat, unable to contain her anger. slam. A large hand struck the man in front of me.

“If the investigation results show that there is something that could pose a threat, crack down on it in advance. Deal with them in advance so they don’t interfere with our business. Haven’t I told you this many times? uh? “Didn’t I tell you this many times?”

“You said—.”

“But you can’t keep that one thing? uh? “Why can’t you teach your subordinates how to do this and have them cause trouble like this?”

“I’m sorry....”

“Sorry? sorry? Is that what you want to say now? “Is that the only thing that comes to mind regarding the topic that has come up so far?”

The man stumbled, but she didn’t care. slam! The person who barely managed to keep his balance got hit in the face again and fell.

“The checkpoint is blocked because of the trash you picked. What to do now? How will we make up for the damage we saw today, and how will we make up for the damage that will occur due to tighter inspections in the future?”

Waiting to get up is also annoying. She suddenly grabbed the man by the collar and lifted him up.

Due to the height difference, the man’s toes barely touched the ground and a crunching sound was heard.

“I told you clearly that this is a life-or-death action for the top. In particular, I need to pay more attention. But this is what happens? dare? How dare you??”

puck! And when the man was almost out of breath, she threw him to the floor. Her fluffy grey-blue hair bobbed once.

“It’s the trash you picked. So go out right now and take responsibility for cleaning up that trash. Stay out of my sight forever!”

“yes!”

“Confiscate all of my assets! We have to make up for the damage he caused to the top! “The same goes for your salary!”

She struck the man’s shin one last time and then kicked him out. Then I bit my nails out of frustration.

“...?”

Separately, the meister who had raised his eyebrows at my sudden action of putting his hand into the bag soon widened his eyes.

“Why is it there?”

I don’t know either. I didn’t know this feature existed.

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’ve never done that.”

I adjusted the gloves on my hands and lifted them onto the meister’s workbench.

“...Is this something you didn’t know about?”

“okay.”

“how...?”

Fortunately, the meister was a smart person, so misunderstandings were less likely to last long.

I cleared up the misunderstanding with a simple deduction and crossed my arms as the person started to make another guess. My head was spinning.

“good. “I think the story will be long.”

Meister also had his own reaction to him. He took off his work clothes and put on the street clothes hanging on one side.

The slender figure characteristic of the Slander tribe, but perhaps as a reflection of his profession, his muscular arms were hidden by the robes that wizards often wear. I think I wear it because I don’t want to repeat what I did during the day. The face that puts on the clothes is arrogant.

“Let’s go to the bar. “In order to explore this, I think we need to hear more about the situation in which you obtained this ‘by chance.’”

Rather, I have to explain it in the end. I followed Meister, suppressing my worries.

Since I couldn’t eat dinner anyway, why not eat dinner now? The thoughts that came to mind out of desperation were the only source of comfort.

“Let’s start talking soon, right?”

There was no need for me to live until evening. However, it wasn’t like the Meister was offering a treat.

In that sense, I ordered additional food without hesitation. “There’s no need to take too much time.” It was precisely at that moment that Meister attempted to start a conversation.

“First of all, where did you get this equipment? Magic Tower? Or which family’s heirloom?”

I wiped my mouth with a handkerchief—there was going to be food again, but it was annoying—and swallowed a sip of water before looking directly at the meister.

“If you want to hide it, just hide it. Instead, I bring up the word ‘coincidence’.”

“I do not know.”

“what?”

“Because it was in my hands at some point.”

hmm. Now that I think about it, this excuse—memory loss—is really useful.

I leaned back in my chair, folding the sauce-covered part inward. Dodog dodog dodog. The Meister’s fingers tapped the table.

“...Why did you lose your memories?”

“Do you think I understand?”

“Well, if I had known, I wouldn’t be doing this.”

The Meister put his hand over his mouth and made a very serious face.

“The only thing you don’t remember is the moment when you got the equipment?”

However, the conversation with him required some thinking skills to follow. This is not because words are omitted, but because the thinking stage is omitted.

Well, there was no need to ask in a formal way because you can figure it out if you think about it a little.

I shook my head.

“Then is it unlikely that obtaining the equipment was the cause?”

Do-dok-dok. As if it was a habit, the Meister continued to knock on the table.

“The food is here.”

Meanwhile, the extra bouillabaisse and caponata I ordered came out.

Well, it’s bouillabaisse and caponatage, but in reality, it’s closer to a soup made with only caught fish and vegetables sprinkled with sauce. It’s not as luxurious as Hyundai.

It was delicious, so I ordered more.

“Are all the equipment you use common?”

“Yes.”

“That bag too?”

I nodded slowly when asked about the inventory.

“Are the abilities of each piece of equipment the same?”

“...Only bags have the ability to hold more items. Other than that, it’s the same.”

Rather, where on earth did this equipment come from? Did it happen automatically when I logged in? Or before that?

The questions that I had put off because I couldn’t solve them continued to build up. Bleep. My ears went deaf for a moment.

“Is it because of practicality that you’ve been wearing it all this time?”

“okay.”

...Still, the clothes themselves aren’t hateful or anything. If it weren’t for him, I would have gone through all the trouble I had with my clothes, so it’s natural.

“Well, if I had clothes this functional, I would wear them even if I had to endure my displeasure. “Looking at what I’ve been wearing so far, it doesn’t seem like there are any curses or side effects.”

Meister’s positivity also made me feel better.

Look, if I had clothes like this, I would wear them all.

You might not know it if you didn’t wear it from the beginning, but even more so if you felt all kinds of convenience while wearing it due to ignorance.
