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

Episode 431 Declare Now (4)

Berserk lay down on his bed and thought about the designs the adventurer had recovered. It wasn’t a very good sign.

“Daejeon Temple?”

The girl who was arranging weapons such as daggers and awls at her side tilted her head.

“What are you thinking?”

“I’m contemplating whether to follow reason or emotion.”

Rationally speaking, yes. I don’t want to hold that unlucky guy’s weapon. I know that Daemyeongjang’s weapons are of high quality, but for her, the quality of the tools was just the difference between being a little more comfortable or inconvenient. The exchange price is not appropriate to bear the discomfort.

“Umm. “If you choose between the two, which one is worse?”

“well.”

However, emotionally… Damn it, one of the designs presented by the adventurer kept catching my eye. It was really funny. It’s not even the real thing, it’s just a fragment of a picture drawn on paper that can capture her heart.

“The former is not good overall, except that you have to bow down and receive weapons from a guy you don’t like.”

“…Are you thinking about a weapon?”

“okay.”

“Then I’ll go and ask for it!”

“Arthur. You take care of your own weapons. “No one should make you choose your weapon arbitrarily.”

“…?”

“You can receive advice and recommendations, but the final decision must be made only by you.”

“Oh, okay, Daejeonsa!”

Weapons are directly related to survival, so they should be made solely of your own choice. That way, even at the moment when death approaches, you can completely let go of your regrets without blaming others.

Berserk taught that to the girl. The girl moved her chubby cheeks and nodded.

“So… what are you going to do?”

“I would like to choose the first one, but I can’t find a blacksmith I like, so I have no choice.”

In addition, she decided her answer through a conversation with the girl. A rock-hard body rose from the bed.

“Stay here. “I will go alone.”

“I want to go too…”

“Ask the hero to play.”

“yes.”

“Huh?”

Just then, the Inquisitor returned from his shower. The person in charge seemed taken aback by the sudden mention of his existence, but Berserk did not bother to explain. Since we both think alike, we will have a good time.

“Hey wizard. “Do you know where Daemyeongjang is?”

“yes?”

“The one with hair the color of both tree bark and crushed raspberry.”

“Oh, he’ll still be in the shared lab.”

She caught a passing wizard and asked him about the Meister’s location. That’s because I didn’t want to waste time going back and forth just to meet that one guy.

“Okay, thank you.”

Anyway, her newspaper was a success and she went straight to the joint lab without wasting any time. Even though it is time for most people to go to bed at night, the light in the laboratory is still bright.

“If you want to maximize efficiency, you should do it this way—”

“That’s true, but we don’t have enough materials. “I don’t have anywhere to get it right now—”

In addition, among the bright light, there were wizards with dark circles. Great Sage, Chief Mage, Plain Mage. There was no distinction between rank or position. Everyone was working equally under one goal.

“Hey, fuck, is this how people live? Laying barriers during the day and making scrolls at night…”

“Isn’t that the price of not entering the demon realm directly? “Well, I brought you some more ingredients.”

“Senior, let’s make some scrolls together! Why is it only me—!”

“Don’t worry. Starting today, I will also be making a scroll containing reinforcing magic. Or would you like to trade with me?”

“Cheer up, senior. “I will write a conclusion.”

“That’s right.”

Rather, I heard that the Archmage hasn’t been seen lately, so I wonder if she was also divided on this side. Berserk found his goal by showing some sympathy to the overused old man.

The bark and crushed raspberry heads were together with the green swordsman.

“Then wouldn’t it be better to take this out?”

“If you separate it, you have twice as much to take care of. “I doubt that would make more sense.”

“No, I’m just taking this out and mixing this in.”

“…It’s not a bad opinion. Yes, that judgment is more efficient than before.”

“hey.”

“…?”

I don’t know what those two are talking about. Berserk didn’t pay attention to words he couldn’t understand. As long as it was made properly, it was enough to have fun.

“Do you have anything to do?”

“I saw the weapon design through an adventurer. “I would like to ask if it is possible to produce one of them.”

She crossed her arms and looked down at the Meister. Perhaps because he had noticed, the Meister did not immediately respond with a rebuttal.

“Which one did you like among them?”

“A combination of a hammer and a halberd.”

“Any additional customization?”

“I wish the window sill could be separated.”

“If you can handle it.”

There is plenty of money. It may not be the amount the kid said, but it won’t be a big problem either.

If she dies in the devil’s land, there will be no need to repay her, and if she comes back alive from the devil’s land, there will be someone who will give her money at least for her merits.

Tick.

“What is this?”

“Can you use it?”

Separately, she took out a piece of metal that she always carried in her bosom and showed it to the great master. I went to a blacksmith in the city and asked about it, but it was an unidentified metal.

“This is a structure I’ve never seen before—”

“It’s the scales of a black snake.”

Fortunately, this time the material was revealed. That’s what the blue swordsman told me, not the raspberry head.

“what?”

“To what extent is the power of the six ghosts incorporated?”

“Then what is the effect?”

“It’s extremely hard and flexible.”

“If that’s true, it would be quite something to see when mixed into a weapon.”

“Well, is it really possible to smelt it?”

“Are you using this?”

Regardless, if that metal can be used, that’s fine. Rather than carrying it around without any use, it would be better to use it for something, even if it ruins it.

“do whatever you want.”

With that judgment in mind, Berserk walked away without recovering the metal piece. Now that the weapons issue has been resolved, it is time to wait.

* * *

“Uh… So, are you telling us to go into the Demon Station?”

“If you have the skills.”

“If you say that, it makes a difference. I may like money, but risking my life is a bit much…”

“If this project succeeds, Majeok will become a land without an owner. And the position of new owner of the ownerless land… shouldn’t those who have made great contributions be the first to take it?”

“So where do you go to prove your skills?”

The Archmage took the time to meet the leader of the Trickster mercenary group that the fairy had recommended. The Yellow Fairy’s accusation was accurate: he seemed to really like money. Thanks to this, persuasion became much faster.

“You’re not going alone, Captain, are you?!”

“If I can eat the land… I want to go too.”

The subordinate follows the leader. Or did they only bring in subordinates with that tendency?

Regardless of what the correct answer was, the members who were listening to the conversation next to them were also clamoring. I wondered if the land that was sure to become yolk once the central devil of the continent disappeared was so coveted.

Well, it’s not that I don’t understand it because once you occupy it, it’s a position that you can pass down from generation to generation and receive praise from your descendants.

“As I just said, you have to pass the test to enter the demon realm.”

Still, not everyone can accept it. The Archmage once again emphasized the minimum standards for receiving the risky reward. Of course, those who are already excited cannot calm down just like that.

Some even harassed her, asking where they could take the skills test. It was just unfortunate that the leader was among them.

“So where should I go? “Can I go straight to the Magic Tower?”

“Stop it! “Wouldn’t it be easier for you to make a proper appointment?”

If the Archdemon of Stinginess were still alive, it wouldn’t be strange to be called his worshiper. No, in the first place, it was only recently that the Archdemon of Stinginess died, so how did he survive without being suspected until then?

The Archmage stuck out his tongue as he looked at the burning desire for money. They were truly great young people.

“So, can I go tomorrow?”

“I feel like tomorrow is a bit of a rush…”

“I’m just making a living every day, so please take care of it. “I need to do this quickly and get it out of the way so I can decide what to do next.”

“Ha… I understand.”

I just hope that either Berserk or Crusher will make time tomorrow. If they can’t do it, adventurers, commandments, or inquisitors will have to step in. They are the ones who are already going through training, research, and purification.

“Then come visit me tomorrow at 1pm.”

“I confirmed it.”

I’m sorry to ask for this because their existing work is too heavy to mobilize them.

But does that call Daniel, who started working at the temple, or Deathbringer, who is suffering as a fairy’s errand boy? It’s just as difficult. They have a job to do, but their skills are a bit…problematic.

In the end, Crusher and Berserk were the best.

“…Can’t do both?”

“I can’t do it because I have a patrol request.”

“It’s the same reason.”

But things in this world don’t always work out the way you want.

With less than an hour left until dinner, the Archmage’s mouth widened when he heard that Crusher and Berserk had received a patrol request.

“Why are you patrolling?”

“The second expansion begins next week. “They said we should clean up the area before that.”

“You don’t have to do that, right?”

“If you don’t move your body, it gets rusty. “The practical sense is even more so.”

“I was sent on patrol a few days ago to begin with, so why again?”

The Archmage could not bear to listen to the two people’s words.

This is because they know that when they are bored, they are asked to patrol around the city for exercise, and they know that this is not something that should be prevented.

“We’re in trouble….”

“Has something happened?”

“I’m planning to nominate one more person, but before that, I wanted to check their skills. But they said there was only time tomorrow.”

“What’s your name?”

“I am the leader of the Mystiltain Trickster mercenary group.”

At her words, Crusher said, “Ah.” He let out an exclamation. To make it easier to convey the situation, she temporarily moved to the Magic Tower and has snacks sold only within the Magic Tower in her mouth.

“Is this a familiar name?”

Crusher answered the Archmage’s question by quickly chewing the snack and swallowing it.

“He is a well-known name in this industry. There are rumors that he made a contract with the Great Devil of Greed, and there are also rumors that he was taken to the temple several times because of that.”

“…It did seem that way.”

“Well, seeing as he’s still active with his hair still attached, I guess he’s not a devil worshiper. “It’s also true that we focus on hunting demons rather than hunting humans.”

Just in case, I did. I think she wasn’t the only one who got the impression that she was a worshiper of stinginess. The Archmage laughed hollowly.

“Why didn’t a guy like that volunteer for this patrol?”

Meanwhile, Berserk raised legitimate questions. It was a thought that the Archmage also had in mind.

“It’s probably because patrol expenses are low. “I volunteered without worrying about all the money issues as I signed a contract with this company, but… considering that I have to go into a patrol-requested magic station, the price is a bit steep.”

Hana Crusher explained again. “Right.” In the end, it was money.

“If you do, ask the Inquisitor for a favor….”

“That Inquisitor is a forced participant in this request?”

“…I forgot that. Phew. So in the end, should I ask Job or Gye-myeong?…”

“If you want a wizard, I will break the request and stay.”

“Hmm…”

The Archmage swallowed his voice when Berserk said that he would stay even if he was at a disadvantage. Inside her mind, there is a fierce battle between the thought, ‘Is it really necessary to do that?’ and the judgment, ‘But we can’t interfere with Job or the commandments.’

“Why don’t you first ask someone who is an adventurer or something and then decide?”

“I guess I didn’t ask on purpose because I’m the kind of person who won’t refuse anything.”

“Well, he seemed kind. But in the end, he is a prosecutor, so he uses his body just like the rest of us. “I’m studying magic or something to prepare for when I enter the demon realm, but wouldn’t I feel a bit queasy?”

The Archmage thought for a moment at her point.

“Hmm, do you also have the same opinion?”

“If the adventurer had asked me to do what he was doing, I would have run out of the room in two days.”

“…Okay, okay.”

Are all people who use their bodies like this? The Archmage was troubled as he looked at the thought circuit that seemed like he would never be able to understand it as a researcher. Should I leave the work to him who already has a lot to do?…

“That wizard. “Can’t the newcomers this time?”

“hmm?”

Then wait a moment. In the corner, the girl who was playing with the bamboo balls that the adventurer had carved stopped for a moment and offered an opinion.

“That blue-haired knight. “If you’re a knight, you’re really strong, right? Can’t we test him?”

It was a pretty good offer.
