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

Chapter 354

Chapter 354 My left eye won’t open (2)

The first moment I sensed that the four figures had become one, I became anxious. It was because of anxiety and worry about what would happen if the weakest member of the group was injured.

“The bastard is really scaring people.”

“You’ve already passed out… stop beating me.”

“This bastard cheated first.”

But the moment I saw the true situation, I threw all those emotions into the trash can.

Even with Daniel, I was foolish to worry about Meister, who seemed to live well even if I threw him into hell.

“…I came here just in case, and it looks completely fine.”

“kyung?”

“Are you here?”

“Are you hurt?”

Still, I have to ask. After asking a question as a courtesy, I approached those who had been subdued before hearing the answer. The person Daniel suppressed was okay, but the person Meister suppressed did not look like a human being.

“…Did you kill him?”

“Would you have killed him?”

“No matter how you look at it, it looks like he was killed.”

“Fuck no.”

Oh my, your face will be so green the next day. The skin and bones are already in a state of disrepair, but seeing the bruises here makes me feel even more pitiful.

I looked at the fainted person with pity and wrapped my arms around his body. Aside from feeling sorry for him, it was clear that he would freeze to death if he left him here in this weather, so there was nothing he could do.

“Let’s go back to the joining location first.”

“yes.”

Daniel also guided the person he had subdued by tying him to his aura.

Perhaps it was because he had seen Meister beat up a person, but even though he was sober, he was very cooperative with us. We comfortably returned to the meeting point.

“Uh, those people…?”

“I guess nothing special happened there.”

“I suddenly caught it by surprise.”

But somehow the promised twenty minutes passed. As I headed toward the meeting place, I saw the Inquisitor and Erutalc standing there. The Deathbringer was also trudging back with someone on Frederick.

“You did a great job with people.”

“I begged to see him just once, so he gave up.”

Instead, they couldn’t sit on it and ride it, so they only cared for it by putting it on it like a luggage.

Deathbringer said, pointing to a human that was hanging out like a bag of rice. Frederick, who received everyone’s attention, asked, ‘So what?’ It’s a look like that.

“Good job.”

okay. Where is this? After stroking Frederick’s face, I pulled out the human being that had been draped like laundry. His face was red, as if blood had rushed to his head.

“It was a surprise attack. “Did you find out anything on your way here?”

“There are some.”

“Well… well, it’s a bit hard to hear it here.”

“We had a good site on our side. How about going there?”

“Oh great! Ours wasn’t a housewarming party, so…”

Oh, did I bring it up for no reason? I glanced at Frederick. It was to see if it could be uploaded again.

Purruk.

“…okay.”

But it can’t go any further than this. What a shameful bastard. I carried the extracted tooth on my shoulder.

“It’s definitely okay.”

All told, the site Meister and Daniel found was quite good. It was large, had many rooms, and even had warehouses that could be used as stables.

“I think we can just herd the horses this way. “I will do it.”

“I will help too.”

“You’re not watching the interrogation?”

“It’s not a place I really need.”

I have no reason to interrogate him myself anyway. Unless it’s an unavoidable situation, I’m not particularly attracted to watching it.

So I threw people into the house where I was staying and then helped Daniel build a stable. There was no need for the Meister’s sophisticated skills. All that was needed for a makeshift stable was walls to block the four sides and a large hole for the horses to fit into.

“Wizard.”

“It was installed. “If you don’t need anything else, just leave.”

“okay.”

moore. If you want to add a little more, something like a wizard’s warming barrier and an alarm spell that will notify you of the presence of an intruder are also good.

The installation was completed quickly enough that the work was completed while we were tearing down some walls.

“Except all the furniture.”

“Sure.”

“It’s better not to touch this, right?”

“okay. I don’t think there’s any need to bring this up. “I feel like I’ll just throw up stone dust for no reason.”

Anyway, we demolished one wall using only our strength and threw some of the furniture out. Then, he toured all the nearby houses and collected animal skins that were used as beds and tapestries. It was intended to be laid on the floor.

“Everyone uses fur here…?”

“Proof that leather is more common than grass.”

“Is that so…”

Even if that wasn’t the case, there would have been no choice but to use leather at a time when grass and fallen leaves could be used as firewood.

Maybe it’s because I live in places where I don’t have to worry about firewood, but I’ve never heard of leather being able to be used as firewood.

“I don’t know if the horses will be satisfied with this.”

“It’s better than nothing. “I don’t know if the temperature will be any better than that.”

“We deal with that when we prepare water to feed. “It’s still daytime and firewood is scarce.”

“I will follow what you say.”

We laid out all kinds of animal skins on the floor and brought the horses in with their tails wagging. As the cold air became less cold, the horses’ expressions improved a little.

“Are you finished?”

“almost. “What’s going on?”

“No, the newspaper is finished.”

“is it.”

Daniel and I entered the temporary shelter after hanging up the tent at the entrance. We were greeted by an interior that was much more livable than when we left it there earlier.

“So what about those guys?”

“I was just a wanderer.”

“vagabond?”

“They were wanderers who had no village to return to and were afraid to go south, so they wandered around the ruins. “They said they didn’t commit robbery, but they seemed like they had never actually done it, so I untied the rope.”

aha.

Well, I didn’t commit any particular crime, and since I was a force that was inflicted even by the Meister, it wouldn’t be a problem if I let him go. It looks like all weapons have been confiscated.

“Then the person who ambushed us….”

“I thought it was a human hunter. Those… people who capture people and sell them to slave traders or wizards. “I was trying to subdue him and ask him questions, but I had no particular intention of killing him.”

“…okay. But did you suspect me of being a headhunter even though I was carrying the temple symbol on my back?”

“Ugh… don’t be angry, just listen. They say these days, there are people pretending to be relief troops from the temple and kidnapping people—”

“What kind of trash…!”

“Oh, don’t be angry.”

I sat on a chair in front of the table, watching Daniel spit fire out of his mouth. I flinch. As a result, three people nearby trembled at the same time. Rather than being stabbed by something, it was a movement that was purely out of fear.

“Oh, I must be sleepy.”

“….”

But… honestly, it’s worth it! There’s a person on the other side who turned a person into a blood clot, but if you’re not scared, is that a person? It was a rabbit that had the guts to say that it had left behind on earth.

“So you’re just letting me go?”

“Yes… there is nothing we can do about that problem. Instead, I decided to give them a letter asking them to take their situation into consideration. “If they really want to go south, it might help them settle down a little.”

“okay. Good job.”

A letter is really the best. I expressed my approval of the Inquisitor’s judgment. The young man wrinkled his nose and laughed. Heh heh. It was a laugh that wouldn’t be strange even with that word attached to it.

“More than that, you don’t know why the village ended up like this?”

“Oh, that’s not it.”

The Inquisitor shook his head and explained as lightly as possible.

The land became dry and there was nothing to eat, so everyone began to starve and thus perished. Anyway, since it was short, it was a light explanation.

“Food will become more scarce the higher you go.”

“Manjong also said so.”

But this seems like a really serious problem. We already have to go to the end of the world. What if I run out of food in the middle of the day?

“I think I have to go down to the south again right now.”

“You’ve been up for five days?”

“No, it’s only five days. “It’s better than moving for a month and then returning due to lack of food.”

Deathbringer seemed to be worried about the same thing as me and suggested a temporary retreat. The opinion was that we should go back now and bring proper food.

“Hmm….”

“There is a saying in my hometown that the more urgent you are, the better you should go back. “I think this opinion is correct this time.”

“Adventurer, do you think so too?”

“Even if I say that, you can’t survive without food, right?”

Since the final choice is up to the Inquisitor, I won’t argue any further, but it seems dangerous to continue like this.

“…I think it would be best for me to take a step back. “There are many brothers and sisters who died after being deployed without proper preparation due to the urgency of the situation.”

“Do you also have that opinion, Heretic Questioner?…”

The Inquisitor finally lowered his head. “Let’s go back down.” The meister, who had been listening quietly, looked helpless.

“Ha, we have to repeat this path again.”

“hmm. At this point, how about changing direction to waiting in the last city? I think it would be better for you and us.”

“I guess so…”

If there is a problem of limited food, one solution is to remove less useful personnel first. The meister looked quite worried about my suggestion.

“Damn, I wanted to see what the North was like. “I’m also curious about the metal that is only used there.”

“There will be a chance later.”

We can always go see the world again, but the mission we have now cannot do that. The Meister seemed to be aware of that, too, and although he grumbled, he was not stubborn. When coming back up with this, Meister is missing.

“That stir…”

“…?”

“If you’re going down south, maybe we can go together…”

“Ah.”

I said I couldn’t go south because I was scared.

“It doesn’t matter if we follow, but we are people who need to move as quickly as possible. In other words, we are not responsible if you fail. “Do you still want to follow me?”

“yes yes! “I’ll take care of that…!”

The three people blushed at the Inquisitor’s stern remarks and nodded. But I don’t know if they can really follow us.

Although they are less noticeable due to their naturally large bones, they are still three people whose skin and bones are almost joined together. You’re following us in that state? I don’t think it will ever happen.

“Sennim, it looks like you will definitely be a burden.”

“But you can’t just turn away, right? “It’s not like they were greedy.”

“That’s… But…”

“If it doesn’t work out, we’ll just give them some food and send it over. “After all, we have to go down and replenish food.”

“I guess that’s okay.”

You’ll figure it out.

I glanced at Erutalc, who remained silent, and slowly reached into my inventory. This is because I know that it is a Deathbringer who will soon ask for food.

“yes. “Aren’t you going to ask about Berserk?”

“…I wonder if they know.”

But there’s no harm in asking. Good point.

“you guys.”

“yep!”

“Do you know someone named Berserk?”

It’s good that you’re disciplined, but you probably don’t know it. I asked in an unimpressed manner, completely giving up my expectations.

“Are you talking about the Great Warrior with that evil spirit?”

“…devil?”

“It’s like two people sharing one body… isn’t it?”

What are you talking about? As I blinked in question, the Inquisitor and Deathbringer exclaimed.

“Yes, that’s him.”

What, am I the only one who doesn’t understand right now?

* * *

“The glacial ordeal was… something like this.”

“Are you suffering?”

“I… I’m fine. “Daejeonsa is all protecting me.”

Berserk gazed at a world where the floor and sky were indistinguishable, as if the entire night sky had been spread out. It was a landscape so distant that it made me feel sick.

“It’s okay not to show off. “Many great warriors go crazy because they cannot withstand this emptiness.”

Also, when I look at a distant scene face to face, I sometimes have that thought.

Why are we so insignificant? If our existence is so small that it is not even a speck of dust compared to a world like this, is there really any meaning to this life?

“If you want to go out, tell me. “I know how to escape without having to complete the ordeal.”

“…Was that possible? “I heard that you can never give up on an ordeal.”

“I guess so. “Because there is no one in the world who has gone through enough trials to find this method.”

“….”

Is this kind of life really worth continuing?

“If you want to get out of here, knock on the floor at any time. Until the invisible wall shatters. “Nothing will be able to touch you in the meantime.”

“…I feel really reassured that you said that. But I’m really okay. “It’s definitely scary not knowing when and where something will appear… but there’s a great warrior by your side who can defeat them all.”

“…is it.”

The true enemy of the glacial ordeal is no other. The essence of this ordeal is extreme futility, helplessness, mystery, and fear of the unknown.

“You are so strong.”

In that respect, the girl passed half of the ordeal. If you don’t feel loneliness and despair in the cold darkness, at least you won’t be eaten by your own emotions.

“It’s strong. “I am… I am a half-penny with no talent.”

“Do you think talent determines true strengths and weaknesses, young piper?”

Yes, the girl is strong because even though she survived this ordeal, she would never be able to overcome her fear of the unknown, turn to drugs, break down, and die like that. That too was strength.

“Even if you have a body that does not fade with iron and does not succumb to time, it is meaningless if your mind is weak. “Don’t you know how many great warriors commit suicide?”

“That’s…”

“But you won’t do that. So you are strong. Open your chest, young piper. “You are strong.”

“….”

It’s a strength she can’t have.

Crack.

“…step back.”

“yes.”

However, the situation is not good for her to forever focus her attention on the brilliance that she can never have. Berserk adjusted his axe as he watched the shadows coming from beyond the night sky.

It was time to fight.
