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

Episode 441 Declare Now (14)

The white crow, once called Frankenstein, smiled whitely as he saw the master of boredom glaring at him.

“You saw something you shouldn’t have seen.”

[You…]

“But it’s okay.”

While he was wondering what kind of device his monster had in place, he got up and approached the owner of Boredom. Then the other person blinked one eye. I had no intention of doing anything right away, but I had a subtle feeling that I would watch and judge everything you did.

“It will work out well.”

[Ha, it was something modeled after Oman. There was no way he wouldn’t know you were here!]

“That’s right, that’s true.”

[Are you silent even though you know that? You—!]

“Do you want to say you’re a traitor?”

Where does that relaxed attitude of not wanting to move right away come from? Of course, it comes from the confidence created by the gap in powerlessness.

“Master of boredom.”

The sense of superiority that they will never be harmed unless they are a specific entity is probably the basis of their confidence.

“Don’t blame me. “It’s not like I didn’t know I existed like this.”

[You…]

But in the world, sometimes that leisure is called carelessness.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you this. “Master of Boredom, there is one thing I have discovered.”

[…?]

“The principle of the ability your species uses… It is to fall asleep and dream, then dream reality again in that dream, adding what you want and projecting it onto reality.”

[Wait a minute, how do you do that—]

“In other words, if you turn it over…”

And the human race is inherently a people who achieves victory through the carelessness of beings higher than themselves.

“If you can’t fall asleep, your powerlessness will be truly miserable.”

[This dog—]

The white crow grabbed the body of the person who was trying to escape into a dream.

The secretory substances he added during the process of remodeling his body are softly hovering around the room. The scent was quite similar to that of vanilla, but it was a substance that turned into a stimulant when released along with another pheromone.

[Do you think I will lose to you?]

“And I am more confident in martial arts than I thought.”

Since life magic is something that can change even the nerves that bounce arbitrarily due to magical power, he rolled to the side to avoid the magical energy emitted by the Great Devil and then ran away.

Since there was a distance given by the Great Devil in the beginning, he was able to get close to the Great Devil with that alone.

[This bastard—!]

“Huh!”

Of course, that wasn’t entirely enough. Magical energy spattered like a hedgehog’s thorns pierced various parts of his body. It was an injury that would have killed an ordinary person instantly from excessive bleeding, or from shock even before that.

[…!?]

“flaw.”

However, if it is a perception, it has long since been eliminated. In addition, some of the demonic energy that had turned him into a skewer was absorbed into the magic circle engraved on his skin to match his tattoo, regenerating his body again.

Even though he was in a state of erosion as a result of using demonic energy and his arms that had carved other magic circles were still in tatters, it was clearly a victory achieved by his preparation.

“I got it.”

So the white crow’s hand reached the archdemon’s body.

Puzzle!

At the same time, a different type of magic circle carved on his arm received magical power and glowed bright blue.

“Please have good dreams.”

[This dog—]

A blue flash encroached on the room.

* * *

“Huh!”

As soon as Jardin took a breath, he escaped from the terrible nightmare. Then a dark room filled his vision. It was a color that truly contrasted with the brilliantly shining turquoise.

“──!”

He ended up clutching his chest at the faint color. Even though the priests took emergency measures, a scar still remained.

Sreuk. At the same time, when he brought his hands together, he caught a necklace that was hanging around his neck and resting on his chest. It was a necklace made with a green jade ring attached to a string.

“Damn it.”

He was once again tormented by the lukewarm warmth and covered his eyes with one arm. Still, the nightmare didn’t go away that night. The person who had been holding the jade tightly finally removed his arm again.

“after.”

If this continues, I won’t be able to sleep even if I lie in bed for 100 days. That would be better…

Instead of trying to get back to sleep, he got up from the bed and put his hand on the side table. The shirt I had taken off was caught in my hand.

Hwiik.

Jardin quickly put his head under his shirt and stretched out his arms as he approached the door. I decided that if I wasn’t going to be able to sleep anyway, I would just watch over my senior and help him.

bang!

“Lord Zrya!”

“…!?”

But before he could open the door, his door broke open. If he had been careful, his nose would have been broken, so his body stiffened.

“ah.”

As if he wasn’t the only one surprised by that part, the other person also froze and stopped. Grumble. The only change at that moment was the beads of sweat flowing down.

“I’m sorry.”

“Oh no.”

He exchanged a fleeting glance with the other person, then realized that his actions were unintentional and relaxed a little.

The fact that the other person was an adventurer also contributed to my sense of security. He was a warrior’s companion, an excellent swordsman, and talented in magic, but he was also very kind–though he had a truly unexpected side–just by looking at him, the adventurer’s worries eased.

“Is it better than that?”

“Yes yes. It’s okay, but…”

“I see.”

However, when he answered that way, the other person looked particularly relieved. It was as if he thought something had happened to him.

“But why here…?”

But this is the Magic Tower. It’s a place that won’t be dangerous unless something serious happens.

So there is no need to worry about him. In reality, what happened to him was, at best, a nightmare. But is that really why they came? There was no way for anyone to notice that he was having a nightmare in the first place.

“…The wizard told me to go.”

“Are you a wizard?”

“Yes, I can feel the traces of a nightmare…”

“Yes?”

“They say it’s exactly the traces of a nightmare created by the devil.”

“…!”

But I didn’t know what was going on in the world. Jardin’s ears perked up at the adventurer’s words.

“Did you ever have a nightmare?”

nightmare. At those words, his hand unconsciously touched his chest. 『It’s really unpleasant.』 At that moment, the voice echoing in my ears became even clearer as the nightmare was overlaid on the clear memory.

“…yes. “But I had no doubt that it was the work of the devil.”

No, actually, it’s not just because of this one time. Even if it wasn’t the devil’s doing, he repeated that moment every night.

“Well, isn’t this our field? Even I wouldn’t have known.”

“….”

“Anyway, if you can move, could you go to the lab with me? The wizard said that even if there is no immediate problem, there may be a hidden problem—”

“I will go.”

“─Inspection?”

“Oh, I was already planning on going.”

A laboratory is a place where traitors exist. Jardin hurriedly elaborated, fumbling for the necklace that was hidden behind his shirt. The adventurer’s eyebrows rose slightly.

“I was so bored… I couldn’t sleep. If I’m not going to be able to sleep anyway, I think it would be better to at least monitor it…”

“I guess so.”

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to feel any discomfort from him. Well, there was no other way to feel it, but anyway.

“Then let’s go together.”

“I can go alone. It was late at night and the Lord was resting….”

“Don’t worry about it. “I still have some business left to do at the lab, so I’m going.”

“From what I heard, something happened in the 2nd expansion area and he was there all this time, until late at night…”

I knew his sense of mission was incredibly heavy, but it was still amazing. It’s so hard for him to be monitored for 12 hours, but he often stays up all night.

“Well… it’s not that big of a deal.”

“What are you talking about? Until recently, I was complaining because I had a lot of sleep—”

However, Jardin stopped admiring for another reason.

“Bitter words….”

“…?”

“….”

The person who told me to sleep less has now become someone I don’t want to think about, so I had no choice but to do that.

“Lord Zrya?”

“…sorry. “It brings back bad memories.”

“…is it.”

In the end, they headed to the lab very quietly. It was a brief that he came up with and that the adventurer took into consideration.

* * *

[…What’s going on here, Sloth?]

[…You can’t tell if you look at it? That damned human had other thoughts.]

[You mean the wizard we brought out?]

[Then your follower did this?]

Lilith saw Sloth kicking a piece of meat in a fit of frustration. There was no need to look deeply into the original form of the piece of meat he was kicking.

Sloth’s long, black hair swayed every time his feet moved. Snap. It was an added bonus that the blood that flowed from the hole in the piece of meat accumulated and formed a puddle.

[This is such a disappointment.]

[This is the guy you asked me to bring out. Just try to get it wrong to me.]

[That won’t happen, so don’t worry.]

Belphegor is even better than that. No matter how confident I am in close combat, what would I do if I just kill him with this kind of increased output of magical energy? If you’re not careful, your demonic energy could leak out and get caught by the priests.

[…I guess I’ll have to move my residence once more.]

He sighed softly as he looked at the magic that was still moving around the room. Belphegor seemed angry enough to overcome his laziness and kicked the piece of meat one last time. Pow! In the end, the piece of meat that could not withstand Sloth’s kick was broken into six pieces and shattered.

[You can buy time by going to the street where the first search was completed.]

[Ha, it’s really annoying…]

[It’s going to be even more bothersome if you stay here.]

[Haaaa…]

I guess it was only around that time that I came to my senses. Gor put his hand inside the bear’s skin and pushed back his bloody hair. His feet, which were not wearing any shoes, were also soaked in blood, leaving red marks every time he walked.

It looked like if he went outside right away, he would run into citizens and get reported.

[Separately, how about learning some simple magic from Belphegor? It’s inefficient to deal with demon energy in such a promiscuous way.]

[I don’t like it. It’s enough now, so why bother learning?]

[What if something like this happens again?]

[This was just a special situation. And now that something like this has happened, do you think I’ll ever let humans get close to me again?]

That’s why I use it. Lilith summoned her lover with a wave of her hand. Belphegor stepped back with a very displeased look on his face, but Lilith’s lover fell back again, putting only a piece of cloth and a basin filled with water on the floor.

[I will never let a human be around me again. No, not even the devil. Just wait until the work is finished and I will come out of my shelter.]

[…I am always amazed by your laziness, that you can stay in a corner and promise yourself never to come out.]

[I am more amazed by you. How can you burn such passion for these things? For me, being in bed is the best in the world.]

Belphegor dipped his feet in the basin and stirred it, then immediately took it out and rubbed it on a cloth. It didn’t completely clean it, but at least it wasn’t noticeable when I glanced at it.

[I don’t understand you like that… but maybe that’s our difference. If you don’t like it, that’s okay. Let’s go now.]

[Okay.]

Anyway, that’s enough. Lilith sparked with magic energy as she watched Belphegor leave the room. It was infinitely shabby compared to what anger dealt with, but it was enough for now.

[Please take care of my love.]

“Of course.”

Meanwhile, his lover brought all the oil from the kitchen. If the oil in both hands touched the flame, it would quickly burn up everything around it.

[…I love you.]

That’s also why his lover sprayed oil not only on the room but also on his own body.

“yes. “My love.”

OMG! An uncontrollable fire has begun.
