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

Episode 179 So far (7)

It was a good idea to catch the young man and ask him. I made a tired face as I saw this person moving through the alley.

The bookstore building we just arrived at didn’t even have a sign. All the windows were blocked to block sunlight, so I would never have been able to find it without this guide.

I said a prayer of gratitude for this coincidence and for my choice a few minutes ago.

“It’s rare for customers to come visit us in person, so let’s go to the store!”

Shake!

“…It’s a little dirty. sorry.”

In the meantime, the young man unlocked the lock and let me inside. At the same time, he lit a candle, but since there were no windows, it seemed like he turned it on as a substitute for natural light.

Candlelight between paper books. Even though I think it’s a little dangerous, I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it. There is no electricity and magic lights are expensive.

“So what book are you looking for?”

“…there are more books than I thought.”

“I’m doing this because I like books.”

The young man laughed and pointed at each pile of books with his hand. That’s a genre novel, that’s a spring painting, that’s an article about magic, that’s an article about a knight, that… His explanation continued.

It seemed like it would be easy to find and read the books because they were neatly organized.

“You can find what you want. “Oh, you know how to read, right?”

“know.”

Rather than just let me read it? Actually, the other bookstores I visited never said anything about reading. Even though there were places that made fun of me because I didn’t buy it.

Ting.

That kind of thing is not good. I gave the young man the same amount I had paid every time I stopped by the bookstore.

“Well, if you just read it, you don’t have to pay… ugh.”

If we sell the body of Lake Biryu, we will have a lot of money again.

I chose a book in silence. There are books about the devil, so it’s a bonus to catch them first.

“There’s a window upstairs. Would you like to read there?”

Perhaps because the money I gave him was in units, the young man trembled and pointed upstairs. I did not refuse that consideration.

I have a back, but it’s not as good as natural light.

Sigh.

“I will be working, so please come and read comfortably.”

The young man put down what looked like an attic ladder and then went upstairs first. If you glance as you follow, you will see that they are cleaning up things like blankets and food dishes left on the floor.

“Hehe… It’s a bit dirty, isn’t it?”

Well, the window is clean.

I took a seat in the spacious space by the window. I picked up a few books after skimming through their contents, so I won’t be going down for a while.

My hand subconsciously pressed lightly on the bridge of my nose, between my eyebrows, and then began turning the pages one by one.

* * *

Bang bang bang!

Jacob is someone who often forgets time and surroundings when working.

He was in the middle of his work when he heard a sound and suddenly raised his head.

Bang bang bang!!

“hey! Jacob!! “Get some food!!”

“Aaaah! wait for a sec!”

I guess it’s already lunch time. I heard my brother knocking on the store door.

The customer must have noticed his younger brother’s presence earlier and is looking down at the alley outside through the window.

Crash!

It’s somehow embarrassing—I can’t help it. All the siblings were ashamed of each other—Jacob hurried down the ladder.

“You slow-witted bastard, come out!”

“I’m leaving for a bit!”

“How can this guy have no progress? “Why do I always forget lunch time?”

“Oh, I’m going!”

Jump up!

“You really—!”

“Ahhh! Eva please! “There’s a guest upstairs now!”

“Why do you do this every time?”

When will this parenthesis die? He clicked his tongue and took the food from his brother. Meanwhile, my younger brother takes a step back and glances at the upstairs window.

“Wow, that’s cool! Awesome! “You idiot, you should have told me about this in advance!”

“You gave me time to talk…? No, and why do I tell you that a guest has arrived?”

“That’s cool!”

Anyway, this damned younger brother knows my older brother for nothing.

He adjusted his glasses, which had become disheveled in his haste to come down, and waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

“Stop saying rude things and leave. “It seems like a knight.”

The warning was a bonus.

This is because the customers seemed to be quite classy, as they gave him a week’s worth of profits as tips and wore a two-hender on his back that he could not handle without training in luxurious clothing.

In other words, you may become someone who should not be treated carelessly.

“what? article?! i love it!!”

…I never thought I’d like it more.

“Can’t I just look at the customer’s face once and leave?”

“good.”

“Oh, just once. Instead, I’ll add some more meat tomorrow without the chef knowing.”

“How much more should I put in… ah, that’s still not possible.”

“I heard the guests aren’t eating? Are you coming to eat? “Oh, if you haven’t eaten, I can deliver it again!”

“Ah-oh.”

It’s going to spin, really. Jacob hit his forehead.

The fact that they enter dirty places without hesitation seems to be quite friendly to customers, but I don’t know yet whether that is enough to forgive such rudeness.

“Eva Knight is more than you thought….”

“Wow!!”

It is a more dangerous entity. Jacob’s mouth, which he was about to say, closed. It was because Eva was jumping around excitedly, holding on to his collar.

Again and again.

What’s more, the sound of footsteps unique to those who received military training could be heard from behind.

“Are you a restaurant employee?”

“yes yes!”

A customer stood right behind him. The severity evident in his rigid and controlled movements begins to weigh on Jacob’s shoulders.

It’s an article. No matter how you think about it, that person is a knight.

He realized that the saying that warriors who had been at the front for a long time exuded energy even when they were still was true. Although I have never wanted to experience it myself, it was a unique experience anyway.

“Where is the store?”

“There’s a place called ‘Happy Day’ over there at the intersection…”

Evaaaaa. What if I tell you all that!

He didn’t want to admit it, but objectively he was worried about his pretty younger sister, so he subtly pushed her behind his back.

We put aside the fact that the guests are from the Middle tribe and they are from the Shagi tribe, so their perspectives on beauty are slightly different. Even though perspectives on beauty are different, the coolness that comes from strictness and the liveliness that comes from liveliness are universally accepted by everyone, regardless of race.

puck.

“100 million!”

Of course, the younger brother, who did not know his older brother’s deep intentions, punched him in the side and rushed towards the knight.

What are you going to do if you get hurt, you idiot? Jacob cried inside.

“Is there any dish that doesn’t contain meat? “I don’t mind fish.”

“The one without meat? Um… Oh, I have tomato soup with fish in it.”

“Then that’s it. “Do you have salad?”

“yes! “There is one with cheese and one with fruit.”

“With cheese.”

Fortunately, this customer looks fine…

There are too many people in the world who are different on the outside and the inside. Jacob watched the guests obsessively to protect his younger brother, who was careless.

“A loaf of rye bread, cheese salad, fish, tomato soup, and stir-fried vegetables. “Is this right?”

“…one more meat dish.”

“And meat dishes? “Uh, what…”

“Take what you recommend. “The price doesn’t matter.”

“yes! Then I’ll make it with the best Pangpang chicken in the store! Then, let’s do it all.”

“…23,600 gal. “I told you to do the addition and subtraction, right?”

“Someone can do it!”

I know the prices of food at the store where my younger brother works.

Jacob looked pitifully at his younger brother, who was counting with his fingers folded, and counted in one go. My obnoxious younger brother gave a thumbs up and took the money from the driver.

“Uh, 30,000 gal?”

“Take your change.”

“omg! Is that okay? After all, knight! thank you!”

…But wouldn’t this person be a good person?

He was shaken for a moment as he watched his younger brother earn a day’s wages through tips.

But I immediately shook my head and erased the thought. Giving in to money was a low-class act.

“It will take a while for the food to arrive, so please wait inside.”

Regardless, I didn’t do anything strange right away. When I look at my younger brother, I don’t see any selfishness in his eyes.

Jacob took the guest inside again. I left my food alone for a while. It was a bit too much to eat while leaving the guests alone.

“Eat first.”

“Ahaha, it’s okay. “Because it’s a sandwich.”

Moreover, based on my experience, the customer’s food will arrive in ten minutes. The salad can be made quickly, and the soup can be prepared by simply bringing it to a boil.

Stir-fried vegetables or stir-fried meat will take a little longer, but I don’t have enough hands to bring them all at once. It will be delivered several times.

It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t wait.

“Oh, it’s not like this.”

There is no time to restart the work. So Jacob prepared a place to put the food. Normally, I would have eaten where I was working, but now that there were guests, I had to move my desk.

“Oh, please just put all the books you’ve read aside and put them away. “I will sort it out.”

He brought out a chair for the guest to sit on and quietly checked the list of books the guest was reading.

History of the East About Bergart The world’s knightly schools What is a knight? The magic of the devil. There were so many different types.

“Was there a book like that?”

But the title of the last book is a little unfamiliar. He blinked at the book for a moment. That’s because it was a title I couldn’t remember.

“Is there a problem?”

“Uh… just a moment.”

Sometimes, when bringing in a large quantity of books, books that he has not yet checked come in mixed in. It’s not strange to think that this is also the case… but the problem is that it deals with the devil. If there is anything written praising the devil, and if a guest reports it to the temple, he or she may be accused of heresy.

“Oh, isn’t it? Did you read it?”

Luckily, the customer hasn’t read the book yet.

Jacob quietly took the book and checked the front page.

⌈The devil gives power based on a contract and takes souls in return. Also, the devil grows his own soul with the soul he takes…⌋

There was a list of information that can be found if you do a little research about the devil. In any book, whenever the devil and its powers are mentioned, the sentences that are always mentioned are written with different word choices.

Palak.

⌈…I was convinced here. Humans are not the only things demons can sacrifice. They will be able to sacrifice the same demons.⌋

However, the book changed its content a bit after about 1/3 of the way through. He began to assert opinions that had not been expressed in any book.

“Oh….”

⌈In addition, there are actually two types of demons’ magic. One is their power, which they already know, and the second is their power, which they themselves do not know…⌋ The

problem is that there is no evidence at all, just my guess. They just laid it out.

The smell of banned books was in the air.

This is dangerous.

“…?”

“Ahaha, I guess this needs more confirmation. Why is there something like this? Ahaha.”

The moment Jacob made a decision, he closed the book with a loud thud. The customer looked at him quizzically, but that wasn’t important.

“Just take a quick bath!!”

He hurried downstairs and opened the back room. Then he took out the brazier he had hidden somewhere and put the book in it.

“Good, good ride.”

Grumble!

The hastily lit flame engulfed the book. It was complete destruction of evidence.

“…?”

“Ahahaha.”

So, except for the suspicious eyes of the driver I met when I went back upstairs. maybe.

“The meal is here, driver!! Jacob, you come down too! “Because there are so many!!”

“Oh Eva!!”

My younger brother, who was usually unhelpful, finally did something.

He went down again, avoiding the driver’s gaze.

“Why is your face like that? “It’s like bread dough that was kneaded incorrectly.”

“Mouth mouth. “Please open your mouth.”

“what. What about the driver?”

“…That’s fast.”

“Knight!!”

“…That’s my younger brother.”

My feelings of gratitude evaporated in an instant, but anyway.

“Just give me some food, man!”

“Ah, why can’t I send my cute little brother away so I’m in trouble!”

“Are you saying you’re cute out of your mouth? Wow wow. “Quickly, don’t say anything that ruins the food!”

“He doesn’t know how to take care of his younger brother!!”

Jacob accepted the food while fighting back against his screaming younger brother. I don’t know anything else, but I couldn’t have my guests eat cold food.

“Stub your little toe while going to and from the store!!”

“That’s real! Anyway, it’s hateful until the end!”

“Beeeeee.”

“Go quickly!”

“…I have a good relationship with my younger brother.”

“Um, uh… yes? yes? Ah… customer, you are positive. “This looks good.”

“If it was really bad, we wouldn’t even have a conversation.”

“Well… that’s right.”

He scratched his head. Although it was embarrassing, I didn’t feel too bad because it looked good like this.

“Because he’s fifteen years older than me. I almost raised him on my back while my parents were working. “That ungrateful guy is hitting on my brother’s side.”

Still, it is unacceptable to show such indecency a second time. He promised that the next time he came, he would leave the guests upstairs and come down alone. This was perfect for my ungrateful younger brother.

“Treat it.”

“yes?”

“It makes me really happy to be able to be with my family.”

“I see…?”

But why did the customer suddenly make such a serious comment? He scratched the back of his neck as he looked at the customer’s indescribable look.

Aside from being shy, I didn’t want to ignore that advice. Somewhere… I felt a strange sense of desperation.

“Take it.”

“yes?”

“This is the price for providing the place.”

However, when the meat meal my younger brother brought was placed in front of me.

When a customer coolly takes only the vegetables and fish dishes and eats them, as if he didn’t order them for himself.

Jacob completely forgot the driver’s sincere advice.

Those words made sense because he didn’t know the weight of loss and the weight of a plate of meat that he couldn’t eat often felt very large compared to that.

* * *

『Also, what I need is not your pitiful sympathy and understanding, but absolute and merciless judgment.』

Deathbringer could not hide his devastated feelings as the words echoed in one ear and the pillow with clear blood stains on it.

“I knew… I knew…”

It wasn’t something new. This can’t be a new thing, as we’ve seen it try to stab itself in the Great Forest.

However… even if it is not new, it is still shocking. Perhaps it was even more so because of the added sense of desperation.

Because I realized that the words I had shouted so far had not reached the demon knight at all, and at the same time realized that they would no longer reach me in the future.

“….”

However, if it continues like this, the demon knight will definitely fall. That was the problem.

The biggest challenge was that he had no way to stop it, and if he didn’t do something, the opponent would die at any moment.

“…What should we do now?”

What should I do? He himself has no basis, no excuse, no way to stop the demon knight.

What should I do?…

“What should I do?” I’ll have to keep looking! “Don’t panic, just search!”

At that time, Saennim’s loud voice rang out, along with a sharp feeling in my back.

He was like the person who shouted ‘that’s not right’ to the Archmage, who euphemistically expressed the Demon Knight’s desire to keep his distance. As for whether that cheered him up now, it didn’t.

Deathbringer was annoyed by the bruising pain and chose to just squat down.

His heart was too damp to be angry. So much so that it can’t even catch fire.

“…What are you going to do when you find it?”

“There’s no way you got a nosebleed for no reason! “It could be an injury, so shouldn’t we get it checked out right away?”

“The Archmage also told me not to look for him.”

“Isn’t that what the Demon Knight said when he didn’t know that he had been bleeding all night? “As soon as he informed me, he told me to come find him.”

“…Well, that’s the case. But so? “What should I do if I’m sick?”

“We’ll fix it!”

“What if I say it won’t be fixed?”

“…I’m sick, so why aren’t they cured?”

“Iknow, right. “Why is Nari like that?”

It would be a human instinct to avoid death when it approaches. Why does the knight even ignore his instinct?

“…It’s probably because we have no meaning.”

Funny enough, I already know the answer.

『If it weren’t for the purpose of killing the devils and their king, you and I would never have stood in the same space for eternity.』 “For

that person, if we didn’t have the same purpose, we wouldn’t be worth being together.”

Because the demon knight already told me.

Deathbringer’s eyes darkened.
