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

Chapter 250

Episode 250: Does it have any meaning? (4)

The promised third day came, but I was still not feeling well. The muscle pain got less, but the fever didn’t go down at all.

“flaw.”

However, it can be moved. Yes, I was able to get out of bed now. That was enough.

I got up to leave the forest.

[Driver, are you going?]

“It’s about time...”

[Are you really going?]

But that attempt was blocked from the beginning. This is because the mountain army that was coiled in the cave suddenly raised its head.

[We put the driver’s life on the line, but you’re really just throwing it away!?]

Sangun’s misdeeds didn’t stop there.

The original sound of the sound mixed with the sound of words that only I could hear resonated loudly in the cave. My mouth opened slightly at the sound that overwhelmed even my tinnitus.

[Oh my gosh. To save the driver’s life, I cultivated medicinal herbs and grew fruits myself! That’s how I nursed it. How can you say that the driver is leaving like this!! How can you, knight!!]

...Why are you saying that? If I say that, I sound like a ungrateful and shameless brat!

[Did you know that the driver was like this? Oh my.]

I was dumbfounded at the sight of Sangun crying so loudly while wiping his face with his tail.

Is this something to cry about so much...? Objectively, if you only look at the surface of this incident, I may be seen as a shameless person or a shameless bastard who has had his face confiscated.

If you look at the deeper aspects of the incident, it’s not that you can’t understand it! It is also true that the lower side is a more important event! If you don’t know that, why...!

“Thunder Serpent, what is the meaning of this?”

I wonder if I was a little taken aback by Sangun’s unexpected behavior. That didn’t stop the priests from waking up and running towards me, nor did it stop them from finding me and surrounding me.

My ankles were held tightly.

“...Let go.”

No, you people! It’s not because I really hate you, I’m doing this because I think of you, so why are you doing this?

Are you saying that if I get caught hiding something like this, only you will suffer? Now that we’ve started interacting with the outside world, it’s going to get even more difficult?

What about you guys? No matter how different your faith may be, aren’t you afraid of having a hostile relationship with the temple? If it becomes a problem, you can just isolate yourself from the country again. That’s what you’re saying!

“I am the one who abandoned the cause for my own purpose because of the curse.”

Even though I was still feeling relaxed after a bit of rest – I was feeling tense compared to three days ago, and it wouldn’t be as good as usual – I chose my words with my head.

I have to leave. Over the past three days, this desire has become even more intense as I have learned that their attempts to protect me are sincere. I don’t want to be the person who causes harm to the people who helped me.

“They are not the ones you need to protect.”

I don’t want to lose the warmth I gained over the past few days by being greedy and ruining this place.

[Driver...]

“We are not trying to protect you.”

However, before my words could overwhelm everyone, a clear and clear voice divided the priests into two groups. What you see between them is a boy whom you haven’t seen in a long time, but who leaves a deep impression on you. His taller height and longer limbs were particularly noticeable compared to when I saw him before.

“I just want to be a cradle where you can rest.”

“...Not required.”

“No, there is no life in this world that does not need a home.”

“That’s just your opinion.”

“And this is an opinion that many, many people would agree with.”

It probably hasn’t been that long since we broke up... Children grow up really fast. I felt strangely nervous about the child, or rather the great chief, who seemed to have grown by 5cm. Usually... does it grow this fast...?

“Could it have been an off-topic remark? But, benefactor of the Great Forest, considering the debt this forest owes to you, this greed can only be inevitable.”

No, before that... Did the warchief originally know how to speak this language?

“...What I did in this forest was done solely out of my own will, so there is no debt you need to repay.”

“Is that so?”

Have you learned this language since that incident? But aren’t you speaking very fluently? The period wasn’t that long.

Of course, if I had already known how to speak this language back then, I would have communicated directly... Did I really learn something new after breaking up?

Because there was the same reason as I just said.

“know.”

However, the driver did not act like this because he did not know. The man, who put his feet into military boots and put on his vest and coat, put his right hand into his gauntlet.

[Then why do you sneak away like a rat?]

Squeak. As he moved his fingers, the metal plates collided and each made its own sound.

“Were you interested in me?”

[... Regarding parts that are outside the normal scope.]

The knight lowered the corner of his lips in response to Yuk-gwi’s answer. The greatsword lifted with one hand rests on the back and is properly secured.

“...If you answer my question, I will answer that question too.”

[It’s a deal. It’s fun.]

They won’t invest that much time in case the others wake up, but...

[Okay, let’s do it.]

Yuk-gwi decided to accept the offer. I was quite curious about why humans secretly run away, and I also wanted to know what they wanted to ask even at the moment of running away.

“question.”

[The reason I sneak away like a rat.]

“...I decided that if they knew what I was looking for, they might catch me again.”

[good. What is your question?]

“How to cover up demon energy.”

The problem was that it was more unexpected than expected.

[You have incredible courage. Although I tolerate you now, I am not in a friendly position toward possessing demonic energy. Or are you asking because you believe in my situation where I cannot kill you?]

“Is that a transactional question?”

Yukgui took a deep breath at the other person’s words.

Well, that human was in a situation where he had ostracized a group of humans for his own purpose—according to his own words. There is a risk of getting caught again if you leave here, so I think it is somewhat understandable to ask such a question.

[No, so there is no need to answer. And the answer to your question is...]

Separately, should I answer this question properly or remain ignorant? After thinking for a bit, Yuk-gwi decided to just answer as much as he knew. Anyway, there was nothing in his knowledge that could be of use to that person.

[Seals are the most common, right? Of course, in order to seal, you need to have a certain amount of knowledge, and there is a risk of being discovered by those with relevant knowledge.]

“...Is there a way other than sealing?”

[That’s a ‘question’, right?]

“Do you have something to ask?”

[Your purpose. Running away from the humans and trying to find them without letting them know.]

Meanwhile, the knight was silent for a while in response to his question. It was as if I was weighing the weight of the one chance to ask a question that I would get by answering this and the answer itself.

“...to home.”

and.

“How to get back home.”

It was the former that won.

Even though it was unexpected, the answer was definitely wrong, so I think a little further explanation is needed.

[It’s too short.]

“...Swear that you won’t tell anyone.”

[Is this something that requires an oath...]

However, with such a demand being added to a situation where even the existing answers are questionable, I am curious as to how deep the situation is. Also, even if it’s an oath, isn’t it particularly binding? It’s just a promise.

So Yukgui willingly accepted. It was a decision made with an extremely light heart, believing that there was no harm in making a mere promise.

“I am not originally the soul of this body. “I was brought here because the original owner of this body made a contract with the devil.”

Well, if I had known that answer would come back, I would have never wanted to get involved.

Yuk-gwi recalled his past self lounging around, thinking that whatever was going on with humans was none of his business. Well, whatever the situation is, it’s none of your business, is it? Damn it! I totally know!!

He wanted to visit his past self and take his life.
