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

Chapter 273

Episode 273: Tell me (3)

“Atya?”

A name I couldn’t even remember hearing at first glance had just caught my ear.

At the same time, pain began to creep in. It was a pain that was not evident on the outside but was cutting me down from the inside like phantom pain.

“Ah… that can’t be possible.”

But it’s not as painful as it was in that broken cabin back then. Or, since it is my second time experiencing it, it is somewhat bearable. Either that, or the confidence I gained from this pain made me… me…

I gritted my teeth in order to endure it more easily. As if the approaching clue was an adrenaline booster, that alone made me straighten my back.

I can endure it. I felt that confident.

“Ticha, but this person…”

“He is an outsider who got lost on the way to Münmund and ended up here… What are these people?”

“They are Munmund’s soldiers. So we need to get treatment…”

Also, thanks to that confidence, I hurriedly looked at the person who had just mumbled.

A Qureity with gray hair and triangular ears. His right shoulder was cut in half and the black veins were red due to demon energy erosion.

I remembered.

“Ticha, how many herbs are left at your house?”

“I’ve been preparing something recently, so there’s a lot. But I wonder if it’s all dried up…!”

“this…!”

On the one hand, I overheard other people’s conversations. It was also semi-compulsory. “It’s difficult to treat without herbs.” How can we ignore the possibility that the clue we barely grasped may disappear?

“I’m sorry for interrupting you.”

I put my hands, shaking with pain, into my bag. If I let that man die, there will be nothing I can hear. So it would be right to offer something. It was that kind of judgment.

Of course, if herbs that weren’t there when searching the bag suddenly pop out, Tisha will be suspicious. You will be treated more like a master, you will be treated like a wizard, or in the worst case, you will be suspected of having something more to hide.

“When it comes to medicinal herbs, I have some.”

However, the information that person might have is more urgent than the suspicion that one person, Tisha, might have.

I stared at them, despising myself for asking why to save people, and feeling disillusioned with the reality that had to happen this way. Tisha and the village chief were both looking at me with puzzled faces.

“Can I give it to you?”

“yes?”

“Is that true?”

“I don’t joke about people’s lives. What do you need?”

“First, let me know what it is.”

What was there?

I was thinking of calling out the list, but I just went through my bag and took out all the herbs I had in my inventory. I heard the name of the herb from Sangun, but it was a word only used in the great forest, so there was nothing I could do. To begin with, I didn’t even know the names of all the herbs.

“You…”

Tisha’s eyes became a little blank as she watched my movements. Here he says ‘Where did you get that from!’ It’s a bit difficult to say something like that.

I moved the hand that was taking out the herbs and placed my index finger on my lips. Tisha’s body trembled as if this level of gesture was universal.

His mumbling mouth and deep dimples clearly show his embarrassment.

“…I don’t need this. “Do you have more of this instead?”

Still, that subtle hardening did not last long. Instead of trying to get the truth out of me, they started helping me sort the herbs.

That was something I was somewhat thankful for.

“Can you do treatment?”

“I’m not… good at it.”

“Wow, you’re perfect.”

“….”

He showed the magic of taking out an object that wasn’t there, so it would be meaningless to deny it any further.

I smiled bitterly and took out all the necessary herbs and laid them out. Those who knew how to heal quickly took it.

“Let me help you.”

“They said I couldn’t do it.”

“I’m just not good at treatment methods, but I can catch people.”

“Oh… that’s definitely help you need. Then please catch this person!”

“yes.”

I held on tightly to the injured patient who was struggling in pain. All I had to do was suppress it with force, so my arms and legs shaking like I was suffering from tremors had no effect.

“I put a piece of wood in my teeth!”

Meanwhile, Tisha put a piece of wood in the patient’s mouth and tried to put herbs into the affected area. His hands are a bit dirty.

“So, did you wash your hands?”

“hand? “Why the hands?”

“…Wash up. Then they die from infection.”

“infection…?”

Yes, the concept of hygiene was still lacking here.

I quickly rolled up my sleeves, took off my gloves, and used my camouflage skill. I didn’t expect to use it again so quickly—I took out the water for drinking purposes.

“for a moment.”

Sigh.

Water from the river where mountain trout live was sprinkled on Tisha’s hands and mine. The same was true for the patient’s affected area.

“Now that’s enough.”

I don’t know if pouring water on the wound is the right answer… but at least it’s better than leaving it covered in dirt. I held on to the patient’s limbs as he screamed and wriggled helplessly.

Treatment was resumed.

“…You were an intellectual. “Even in the city, few people know the concept of infection.”

After treating one person, it was the turn of the person who called me ‘Atya’. Although people tried to stop the bleeding, there was a lot of blood and his face was very pale. It was pale, making the black veins stand out even more.

“I won’t deny that I am a deep learner.”

Is it really a good thing for a sick person to keep talking? However, it might be better to talk endlessly than to faint or fall asleep like this.

I sprinkled water on his shoulder, promising myself that if I ever go back, I will look into the relevant certifications, whether as an emergency medical technician or an EMT. Half of the drinking water I was carrying disappeared.

“Don’t close your eyes and continue talking to me.”

“…yes.”

However, one person has already finished and the other person is being held by someone else. You won’t need anything special like water.

With that in mind, I roughly threw away the used leather bag. Then he got his attention while Tisha treated him.

“…Who is Atya?”

In the process, I also asked questions that I wanted to ask. On the outside, it was a question to keep his spirits up, but on the inside, it was because I really wanted to hear it.

“This is my…nephew. “It looks quite similar to you….”

“It seems like we look a lot alike. “As long as you think of me as soon as you see me.”

“Yes… they look a lot alike. “Your hair color is a little brighter and paler, but it also shines sometimes when you look at it in the sunlight…”

I wonder if it’s fortunate or unfortunate. The opponent was on the verge of death and the hurdles had been lowered significantly. He gave me information without knowing who I was.

His left hand grabbed the small lucky bag hanging around his neck.

One side of my chest felt like it was being pricked by hundreds of needles. I couldn’t tell if it was guilt or actual physical pain.

“Still… His eyes are a bit different… His eyes were a mysterious greenish-brown…” “

…Really?”

Wouldn’t it be less painful if the blood came up? I tried to laugh with my trembling body.

“I need to muster up the strength to see my nephew like that again. “If you die here, you won’t be able to go home to your nephew.”

What am I spitting? If Atya were the person I wanted, she would have already died. Is it right to say this even after knowing that situation?

“…please hold on a little longer.”

But I want to go home.

“…How amazing.”

“What?”

“The more I look at it, the more I think it resembles Atya… but the way she speaks is very different…” “

…is that so?”

Atya says his nephew seems a bit temperamental. I smiled as if I was crying and slowly waited for him to speak. I didn’t want to interrupt him because I didn’t have the information I wanted yet.

Grumbling. The hot pain continued to press on me, as if my entire body had been seared. It’s a little difficult to swallow.

“What kind of person do you think you are?”

“He was a very… smart and quirky guy. He was a bit… not the type of person who suited the military… he really hated the rules and strict atmosphere… he really didn’t resemble my parents…”

Meanwhile, the other person’s tone became more and more sluggish. In an instant, the pain in my body disappeared and impatience took its place. My hand, which was holding his shoulder, reflexively tightened.

“Still, he was a good kid…”

Hmm. Suddenly, the sound of someone crying over and over again rang in my ears. Even though there is not a single person here who screams in pain or cries in sorrow.

“You can’t sleep. “It’s not over yet.”

“I’m sorry, I’m so sleepy…”

“I know you’re sleepy, but please hold on.”

“Yes, yes…”

But that might just be my mood. It had to be my mood.

Otherwise, I became so miserable that I couldn’t even see my family and had to think like this in front of someone who was dying.

“First aid has been completed. Now we have to move it inside.”

“Ah yes.”

I absent-mindedly followed Tisha’s words and listened to the patient. The never-ending burning pain made my legs shake, but others ignored it, thinking it was just because the person carrying it was too heavy.

“Shall we move it together?”

“it’s okay.”

I took a dangerous step forward with a smile on my face. Cold sweat broke out, but the situation was so urgent that no one noticed anything wrong. My palms were sweating as I took off my gloves.

“Thank you…”

Then, the person who was in my arms for a moment whispered.

His voice was so weak that I wouldn’t have been able to understand it even if my hearing was a little worse. His body lost strength and became heavier.

“ah.”

As before, the pain faded away due to urgency, and I hurriedly increased my walking speed. Slurp. When I laid him down on the prepared bed, I could see his chest rising and falling slightly.

Not dead yet.

Not dead yet.

“…Can this person survive?”

“I don’t know. “I lost so much blood…”

I thought in shock, ignoring whether the relief I felt now came from human empathy or from my own selfish feelings.

I want to cry. Or I want to laugh.

No, actually, what I want to do the most is…

“…you should buy it.”

Out of frustration, I unbuttoned the top button with one hand and rubbed my face with the other. It took me half a beat to realize that my hands were covered in blood while treating people.

I felt wetness on my cheeks. It should have been hot originally, but now it was cold and wet.

“Now it’s up to God to decide. “Hurry up and take a shower.”

“…yes.”

I hated it so much. The feeling was highlighted by the fact that my entire body was throbbing as if I had been beaten, even though I was not injured.

I accepted Tisha’s recommendation.

“I’m already so busy that I feel like I’m going to die, so why are the wild beasts going crazy?”

Meanwhile, Schbrücken is a city located on the road to Brisden or Hirssenzig. In a village on the road ahead of the city, Deathbringer grumbled.

This is because the current situation is that there has been a delay of about half a day due to that damn beast.

“Thank goodness I didn’t end up sleeping on the streets, but…”

Of course, if I had passed this village, I would have had to spend the night on the road. If you look at it that way, the wild beast incident is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, it is much more comfortable to sleep in the village than on the street.

“Uhm….”

Just like that. In the midst of a rush, it becomes very unpleasant to have to worry about such trivial things. It was similar to the mentality of kicking a rock you see along the road.

“I guess I received instructions from the devil.”

“…Please don’t say that even as a joke.”

Meanwhile, Meister made a joke with his characteristic unlucky face. Then this time, Daniel had a cold expression on his face.

It was as if he had imagined that the animals of this world would follow the words of demons.

“Why are you so disgusted?”

“…Hmm. “I think that sounds like a terrible thing to say.”

In addition, Deathbringer also felt shaken. It was even more so because it was meal time and what he was eating was a dish made from wild animals that had been caught.

“You guys have such a weak stomach.”

“You must be crazy good….”

“Look at the hero. “You’re fine.”

“No, that guy…”

Deathbringer pursed his lips as the Inquisitor silently stuffed food into his mouth.

Regardless of whether Saenim is pleased or not, isn’t he just not listening to this conversation? The words I couldn’t bear to say were stuck in my throat.

“Are all wizards like that?”

In the end, Deathbringer chose to change his mind.

“Not really.”

Accordingly, the Archmage, who had been eating quietly, came out.

The will to prevent the meister’s harshness from spreading into prejudice against all wizards is evident in the words that are cut with a single knife to prevent any back-talk.

“Of course… compared to the general public, everyone has a higher threshold. “There is a lot of variation depending on the field of study, but in general, this is the case.”

However, it seemed that even the Archmage had pricked her conscience to fully ask, so she added an unasked commentary.

“But not to that extent.”

There is still no denying that Meister is a special man. “What’s wrong with me?” The Meister’s expression became sour.
