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

Chapter 381

Episode 381 With Those Two Eyes (7)

“Huh!”

Did you feel like you were being sucked into somewhere? I instinctively took a breath. The icy air penetrated my lungs and completely awakened my consciousness. My eyelids rose and my ears began to work.

“It’s me!”

[Oh, I’m awake.]

“Ugh….”

I feel like I just woke up after sleeping for 24 hours…

I forced my extremely sore body to stand up. All my muscles felt stiff, as if my body had momentarily turned into stone.

“I am Nari. Are you okay?…”

[I’ll go over there then. Please make sure the heart is connected well.]

“Ah ah. yes.”

However, after moving it a few times, it seems to loosen up a bit. I lightly stretched my body left and right and moved my tongue.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Your voice has subsided… How long have you been lying down? I instinctively looked for water with my parched throat. However, no matter how much I search around with my hands, all I can find is a sleeping bag and the hard floor.

Only then did I realize that this was an ice cave.

“Oh, would you like some water?”

“…thanks. “But what happened?”

The Deathbringer, who was somewhat observant, offered me some water. For some reason, the water container looked like the one on my subspace bracelet.

It would have been difficult to start a fire here, so it would have been best to open a subspace. With that intention, I filled the bracelet with water and food.

Gulp gulp.

So, if it is written well, I am satisfied with it. Warm but gradually cooling water flowed down my throat.

“That’s right…”

However, in the meantime, Deathbringer’s explanation continued.

I was surprised to hear that Berserk arrived here by accident. The statement that the owner of the coffin we procured was Berserk’s sister was also the same as saying that there was a girl who followed Berserk.

It’s surprising that Suzaku was resurrected as a different person, and it’s amazing that the dragon woke up and went back to sleep, but honestly, nothing is as surprising as these two.

“Nothing happened.”

I think Berserk held up better than that. From her perspective, it would have been like having her sister’s body unilaterally destroyed for the sake of the cause.

I don’t know what kind of relationship she had with my family, but if it had been more than an ordinary relationship, she would definitely have been furious. Nothing really happened.

“….”

“…Why are you avoiding your eyes?”

But is it really not true? Did something happen after all?

I looked at the rolling Deathbringer’s gaze and quietly pressed the back of his hand. As expected, he was planning to run away, but as he tried to pull away, he was caught by a hand and stumbled.

“…I think we need more details.”

“Did I say everything?”

“Did I really say everything?”

The method of separating the pieces he described was to cut out the vertebrae, which inevitably led to damage to the body. But Berserk just left it at that?

“Deathbringer.”

If Berserk had arrived before touching the remains, there would have been a scuffle, and if Berserk had arrived after touching the remains, there would have been a process of receiving her anger unilaterally.

In addition, Berserk is so aggressive that it can point its weapon at someone it has never met. Would he really have been helpless in a situation where his family was touched?

“Tell the truth.”

Unfortunately, I don’t think so. This is true even if Berserk was once our comrade. There is no bond between her and us that would tolerate family matters.

She obviously couldn’t hold back her anger.

“…There was really nothing special. “He was a little angry, but he eventually understood.”

“okay?”

But this guy is real.

“So if I ask her the truth, I’ll get the same answer?”

“Oh no, that’s it.”

I know that Berserk lost in the end, given that the Deathbringer is still intact. And Berserk is not one to hide his defeat.

If you ask me to tell you, I will definitely tell you. I decided to aim for it.

Deathbringer’s complexion turned pale.

“…I was a little hurt, but it’s not my fault, the fighter!”

“Yes, that means you were hurt.”

So are you going to keep your mouth shut? In the meantime, Berserk is trying to cover it up again? This kid is real. You think I’m doing this now to find fault.

“…The reason I ask questions like this is not to find out who is right or wrong.”

That’s not to say Berserk was good. However, I have no intention of blaming her for that. It’s clear that he’s angry about something in his family, but I don’t think I have the right to say anything about it.

“I’m just asking because I’m worried about you.”

“…!”

“I will ask again. “How injured were you?”

But even if you put all that aside, you can worry about it. It’s okay to just listen to her complain that she’s in pain. Even if we become closer to strangers, as long as we are both human, that is allowed.

Or is it just me who thinks that way?

“Both…arms.”

When I was wondering if I was thinking wrong. After a while, Deathbringer hesitated before opening his mouth.

“Both of my arms were broken…”

“…It must have hurt.”

“But compared to Nari, whose entire body was burned—”

“Just because other people’s misfortune is greater than mine, doesn’t make misfortune any less misfortune. The same goes for pain.”

I forcibly removed the hand I was holding. I was a little upset. I didn’t like overexerting the Inquisitor, but this time, even the Deathbringer was seriously injured. This is why there is no point in taking the lead.

“Good job.”

While debating whether to do it or not, I carefully placed my hand on his head. I thought that since the Inquisitor liked it, he might also like it.

“…!”

My ears perked up. I guess I don’t like it. I tried to quickly take my hand away, but ended up landing my palm again on the rushing head. The ears lying back make it easy to stroke the top of the head.

If this is the case… I wonder if I don’t like it… I stroked his head while thinking about such trivial things. Deathbringer’s face heated up as if he was about to cry.

“Nariii….”

“You really worked hard.”

Ugh, if there was a fight to the point where both arms were broken… no, it would have been one-sided. No matter how fast the Deathbringer is, it is impossible to defeat Berserk. And yet, I managed to convince him until the end… It was really hard work.

“…sorry.”

“You did more than I expected. Thanks to you, I also saved my life. There is no need to be sorry. “You did your best.”

“I’m not saying that.”

But as I slowly withdrew my hand, the Deathbringer stared straight at me with wide eyes. ah. These are eyes I saw sometime ago. I felt familiar.

“I made so many mistakes that I don’t know where to start to apologize.”

This is the moment when I look back and see that the child has grown up. That’s the feeling.

“But, sir, I really…”

The faintly trembling voice tried to become clear again, holding back tears.

“…I didn’t want to be abandoned by Nari. So I did something that didn’t work. Actually, that shouldn’t have happened.”

Even so, tears shouldn’t come out, they shouldn’t come out. The more you order, the more they will come out. Deathbringer ate his nose and wiped his eyes.

“It may be too late, but I’m sorry for apologizing now…”

The young man’s head bowed. It was a truly pitiful and insignificant apple, and it was a dazzling moment.

“okay.”

Really… kids grow up really slow and fast.

“Thank you for your apology.”

I somehow felt better. Even if all the wounds don’t get better at once, it feels like medicine has been applied. A small smile formed at the corner of my mouth.

“…Even if I leave, can I still run into you someday?”

“…huh?”

“I know it’s greed, but… no, I was too presumptuous. Please pretend you didn’t hear it. How dare I…”

But… uh…

I looked down at the wrinkled green young man in embarrassment. Now that I think about it, from their point of view, I was in a situation where we would break up once this was over…

I think I mustered up all the courage I had and apologized because I knew that we would break up soon, but what kind of expression would they make if I told them that this journey would be extended further?

“Phew.”

The more I thought about it, the more funny reactions came to mind, so unlike usual, I openly laughed. The Deathbringer pricked up his ears and looked puzzled, but he couldn’t bear it at all.

“You mean that—”

“Ahhhh!!”

I think we should go together until we catch Satan. The conversation that was about to continue was interrupted by someone shouting.

“Adventurer!! “Are you awake!!”

It was an inquisitor.

[Hello.]

“Ah, yes. Wake up—”

[Now I’m finally greeting you properly.]

“…?”

A person who had stopped treatment due to running out of divine power came running to me crying. But on her head is something like a sparrow made of flames.

[Hello, hello!]

“…Okay, bye.”

This is the resurrected Suzaku. It’s so different from before that I feel a sense of disconnect. I looked at the Suzaku that flew in front of me and stretched out my finger at him. Of course he didn’t sit down. It seemed like he was wary of whether the power of purification would give me a stinging sensation.

“kyung? “Are you awake?”

Meanwhile, Daniel, who was boiling soup with the food delivered from the Deathbringer and the flame created by the wizard, and Berserk next to him also looked at me.

To be more precise, Berserk is closer to something I knew about earlier and only now paid attention to.

“The food is almost ready. “We can all eat together.”

Well, if you’re going to say something, it would be better to say it at once where everyone can hear. Although it is doubtful whether Deathbringer and Berserk will ever eat together.

I nodded at Daniel’s suggestion. The Inquisitor nodded vigorously with a drooling face, as if he had run out of calories during the fight. Even the girl who looked listless seemed to be looking forward to this moment.

“Eat a lot, adventurer!”

“It’s best to eat it before it gets cold. There is plenty of food, but not much firewood. “I can’t eat food heated like this just once a day.”

“I see….”

“You two can eat too.”

“Thank you.”

“…thanks.”

“Wizard….”

“There is no need.”

I saw a wizard who had no firewood so he built a furnace using his own magic.

I thought it was surprising, let alone the fact that he was barely wearing a broken mask. Since their identity was revealed to me, I thought they wouldn’t cooperate with such trivial matters.

“If you need fire, I can help. “If you don’t mind fire mixed with demon energy.”

“What does Magi have to do with this cold place? “I’m just grateful.”

Well, there’s no need to ruin the mood by talking during meal time. You may need to ask about the ‘Magic Circle of Arrogance’ that Gestas told you about, but you can just ask that secretly.

I accepted the bowl, putting off revealing Erutalc’s identity. No matter how long it has been since you put it on the plate, the food has already become lukewarm.

“Your liver has been controlled well….”

[Oh, human food is pretty tasty.]

Still, it was delicious. Of course. If you season the salt well, most foods taste delicious. This is especially true after completing hard physical labor.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“I think you can do it too.”

“….”

well. Is that really true?…

I ate what I did last time and fiddled with my spoon, remembering the people who made subtle expressions. Then Daniel and Deathbringer laughed awkwardly.

“I liked that too! “Proof that the slightly broken balance challenged something different.”

For reference, the above words belong to the Inquisitor. The reason it was cut off in the middle was, of course, because of Deathbringer.

“I’ll tell you how much to put in next time.”

“Okay…”

Deathbringer and Daniel alike, how do they control the salt seasoning so well? No matter how many servings I make, I get confused if it exceeds 3 servings.

I swallowed my envy with soup. The jujak flew to my wrist and ate my share in between.

“Rather than that, wizard, is it really okay for you not to eat?”

“Okay.”

But are you not taking erutalc again this time? Honestly, considering her identity, the whole idea of having to eat only a certain amount of food as a result of the experiment seems like nonsense.

If you go right now, it’s smashed, but there’s nothing wrong with it. But if you think eating it is special, that’s not true.

“Come and eat.”

It also bothers me to leave him alone to chew cold bread, etc. So I suggested it without looking at her.

“I…”

“You know that excuses are no longer useful.”

“….”

In the end, the person who was trying to refute gave up and joined the meal. Because there were extra dishes, there were no unfortunate incidents of not being able to share them.

“I… I guess you two have known each other for a while…”

“Oh, that’s right.”

It’s true that we know each other, but if we reveal that here, the relationship between Inquisitor and Erutalc will be in trouble. And we’ll be stuck here for the next three days.

Rather than endure those three days in that atmosphere, I decided to change the topic. There was also a good topic to change about.

“I succeeded in contacting God while I was unconscious.”

“yes?”

“I’m thinking of killing Satan.”

“yes??”

Everyone who heard me looked dumbfounded.
