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

Chapter 262

Episode 262: What if (10)

Ekua looked at the person leaving. The loosely tied wheat-colored hair was a little awkward, but that was all.

The stiffness felt in the straight back and lower back has not changed at all from before. Even though his appearance has changed and his features have been obscured, he is still the knight they know.

It will probably be like that forever.

【So you really won’t go to the end?】

[Hmph.]

Also, this dishonest being will become their eternal supporter. Ekua chuckled at the turtle that slowly crawled out of Sangun’s back.

[After saying what is pretty?]

[You are not being honest either. You went to such lengths for that person’s convenience.】

[No, that’s...]

[Hehe. How about just saying hello? I don’t know when I’ll see you again.]

Yuk-gwi snorted at San-gun’s remarks.

[Why am I watching this again?]

Both Ekua and Sangun knew well that that wasn’t the truth. They laughed again.

[Then you won’t see it again.]

[I won’t. I won’t see it. If you did this much, that’s enough. Why are you looking at me again?]

[Does someone like that also give blessings to items?]

[Ah. I gave it to you because it was a waste of money.]

Well, that’s right. If you were to choose things that are worthless to the Six Ghosts or the Mountain Lords, the one that would be at the very top would be human currency.

Also, if currency is really a waste, it is bound to be pushed back compared to the power that has just been recovered from the perspective of the six spirits. In other words, unless you are thinking of the recipient, there is no reason to bestow divine protection at the expense of barely recovered strength.

Therefore, Ekua decided that the words of the six ghosts were lies, and smiled softly at that.

[Why are you smiling?]

【I tend to laugh when I go around...】

[Ah, this little guy.]

Oh, of course. However, I didn’t say something like “You’re not being honest.”

Why would I tell Yuk-gwi everything I thought when he gets angry at the mere sight of his smile? Ekua had no intention of sitting down and punishing himself.

[Oh really. I can’t punish this.]

Well, it seems like the other person has already read his thoughts with just that smile.

Sangun and Ekua joined in and laughed bitterly again.

[But what kind of blessings have you given me?]

[...I have no idea!]

[Eeeeee.]

[Eye, it’s so embarrassing.]

Yukgui spat and curled up at Sangun’s cuteness. Contrary to what he has said so far, the only place he continues to stare at is the specific direction the knight left.

[...hardness that does not crumple when crushed by Mount Tai, does not shrink even when swept into the deep sea, and does not melt even when plunged into lava.]

[...Oh?]

[That’s all it was given.]

Even if they pretend not to, the Six Ghosts cherish the knight. It was right. From telling Sangun to take some food, to going so far as to make sure those two items don’t get damaged at any moment.

[It’s really good, isn’t it? As expected, my ancestor likes knights— yay!]

[I watched this kid a few times and he keeps climbing!]

[Ah, don’t lift the scales! [Do not lift scales!!]

Equa laughed cheerfully at the two bickering beings. It feels good to know that the person you like is also loved by others.

[Hey. I do this every day, but...]

[You’re the one who earns the beating.]

[Hiiiiing.]

I hope only good luck will come to that person in the future. May the world bless him.

Ekua prayed to fate and turned around. Now it was time to go back.

“Ha, I can finally breathe a little easier!”

The fierce white wind murloc stretched, pressing down on its extremely large brimmed hat.

“I see...”

The head wizard, who claimed to be an accomplice by following him rather than stopping his escape, was similar.

Instead of stretching, the head wizard covered his mouth with both hands and expressed his emotions with his whole body. The sunlight and wind touching my skin felt quite glorious.

“After all, people need to get some sunlight.”

“Sure, sure.”

The head wizard was embarrassed.

“Great Sage?”

It seemed like White Wind couldn’t even hear him. The tremors in White Wind’s body became stronger, and the customer who came in smiled brightly at the staff member serving him.

The Great Sage clenched his fists.

“If only I were 30 years younger!”

“yes?”

“If I had done that, I would have asked you out on a date right now!!”

ah. okay. She was someone who always complained about her preference for beauties with a simple look like wild flowers. The head wizard’s eyes became bitter and cold.

* * *

“If only I did that, I’d be asking you out on a date right now!!”

Surprised. I was taken aback by the sudden shout, and was taken aback again when I saw the owner of the shout. Why is the white wind here?

“Yes yes. let’s go.”

“No, no, no! Even if we can’t date, it’s okay to see each other! “A beauty like this isn’t common!!”

“It’s a nuisance, Great Sage.”

“No my miiiiin!!”

But fortunately, the white wind did not recognize me.

I scratched my cheek sheepishly. Although I got it half-forced, the glasses and ear cuffs definitely have a good effect. I unconsciously adjusted the frames of my glasses. Somehow I felt a warmth coming from the cool metal.

“Haha... So who are you looking for?”

“Ah, I heard there’s a kid named Akata here...”

“Ah, Akata.”

Separately, I have to achieve the purpose I came here for. I visited Akata, determined to leave as quickly as possible to avoid encountering the white wind.

“sorry. There was a customer who found that child first...”

“...Is that so?”

But it was interrupted. It was because there were passengers.

“What are you doing that even the passengers...?”

“Until a while ago, we were focusing on delivery, but with the special order from the merchant, we are handling that first.”

“It wouldn’t be dangerous, right?”

“sure.”

Since it was a special order, it would be difficult to hear the details.

However, if the owner of the upper level entrusts the work directly, at least the position within the upper level is not bad. The face of the employee who mentioned Akata was filled with happiness, and it didn’t look like he was being ostracized.

It even goes so far as to find customers first. At this level, wouldn’t it be safe to say that the child is steadily moving towards success?

“Then... can I ask you another favor?”

As I thought about that, something started to weigh on me. All I have done for that child is a little bit of support–and even leaving that in someone else’s hands–but that alone fills me with a strange sense of pride.

“It depends on what kind of request it is...”

“There is something I was asked to deliver to Akata, but I have to go right away. “Will this be difficult too?”

“Oh, it’s not that difficult.”

However, it would be strange not to feel proud of the children moving forward.

I happily accepted the pride welling up in me and handed the bundle I was holding to the employee. The employee looked inside the basket and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“What name should I give you when I pass it on?”

“Oh, that’s...”

My eyes followed him and followed him inside. Soft, colorful, fine threads that I bought again from a store I visited before.

“A thread bracelet. “If you say you’re sorry for losing it, they’ll understand.”

I bought these things because I didn’t know what to give them, but I believe they will still like them. Because making thread bracelets seemed to be a hobby.

“I know it must be a hassle, but thank you for asking me.”

Even if not... wouldn’t it at least be used well? I moved my lips with that belief.

I’ve been keeping my face stiff for so long that it’s become awkward to smile... but it probably isn’t a strange sight. The feeling of ‘Why are you like that?’ did not appear in the eyes of the employee who smiled at me.

rattle.

good. Then let’s go now.

I walked out of the building while being seen off by the staff. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t see Akata’s face, but at the same time, I felt a little relieved.

Anyway, if I meet you with this face, how should I control my personality? Disguise itself is the domain of kaebung, so if I show my true personality, Akata’s mentality might explode.

However, it is also a bit strange to act out the original concept while disguised. As I just said, the disguise itself is the domain of the Kabung.

So it might be better to diverge like this.

With that thought in mind, I walked back the way I came. I will stay here for the night and from tomorrow I will pursue the past of the demon knight.

“I guess the first step will be Tsetsebaatar in Mannhafeld, which is the closest...”

And the first step in the chase will be the knight schools in the East. It is evident that the Demon Knights received formal training in eastern swordsmanship and even martial arts. If it’s true, and if his family were truly knights, there will be a lot of traces left there.
