I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

11 – Why We Need Him (9)

Why he is needed (9)

Esmeralda and Jim.

Both look at each other and smile, but at the point of secretly harboring hatred.

As usual, Esmeralda was the first to bend. She can’t help it

She knows Jim, but Jim doesn’t know that she knows him.

I have to put up with this grown-up girl.

“I will meet Sir Felheim. Can you tell Irina?”

“Yeah, okay. Come on, well, that person must be busy with the sudden attack. Ugh, I was just about to take a break, what the hell is this?”

Tina stretched her body in disgust. Her lithe body stretched out like a cat stretching her body.

“Isn’t it? Millia.”

“Yes, I am really tired.”

Milia stared at Tina and then stretched her as if to imitate her.

Duduk!

“Ugh!”

“hahahaha, yes, I usually do some exercise. Milia is too shy?”

However, as if it was difficult just to stretch her, Milia let out her soft moan, and Tina immediately pointed out that Milia and laughed.

Rumble.

“hahahaha… …. sh*t.”

And she cried as she saw two huge masses that didn’t exist to her.

A flattering robe.

Although it is said that it cannot be hidden even with that alone, the moment she stretches her arms above her head like that, even the puffy robe clings to her body and shows off her presence more than usual.

“Oh… ….”

And Jim enjoyed the moment.

The moment he feels alive at this f*cking party.

Yes, it is a glorious moment when a gigantic life is born.

“… ….”

Esmeralda left with a devastated smile, imprinting the pitiful appearances of the party members on her eyes.

‘I have to catch the demon king quickly.’

Her purpose has not changed since ancient times. It was her first chance. Whatever she did, the reasons for her catching and killing the demon lord continued to increase.

***

Esmeralda left her seat, thinking about how to charm Felheim Senova. There was no one to see her off like that.

It’s nothing new now.

Milia and Irina just joined together with their own goals.

Jim was a spy for the demons, and Milina is only interested in magic and Jim.

At least Tina was the only one who really thought of the hero at the hero party, but she too was eventually caught in Jim’s clutches and ended up falling in.

‘Come to think of it, where the hell did Irina go? Uneasy…….’

And Irina Saintis.

There was an insidious corner that even Esmeralda could not control.

***

“Hello! Sir Felheim. We met again so quickly.”

Esmeralda, as always, visited Felheim Cenova’s office with a somewhat foolish smile.

Felheim Cenova seemed to be busy receiving reports from her men, but when she saw the figure of Esmeralda, she soon bit everyone around her.

She also seems to know that her own plans have been disastrously ruined.

To be honest, this moment when Jim’s true identity was revealed. Esmeralda and Felheim Cenova. Neither side had a clear advantage.

“Thank you for your help this time. Warrior. I couldn’t have imagined that demons would infiltrate this fortress.”

“Hey…… Is that so?”

Felheim Cenova took a cigarette in a rather leisurely manner.

She is also equipped to beat to some extent. Which of each other’s disgrace will be more fatal will be decided according to the conversation we will have from now on.

That’s how the fight between the two began.

First of all, Esmeralda glared at Se Nova Felheim with a look that contradicted her characteristic smile.

And Felheim Cenova continued to pour out pretentious words as if he didn’t care.

“It feels uncomfortable to be thanked like this because it seems that Millia’s rampage was more dangerous than the demons’ invasion. To be honest, we couldn’t even find the demons. Or, is Lord Felheim making fun of me?”

“… ….”

And with her barbed words, Esmeralda silenced Felheim Senova, who had been praising her.

She’s not proud either, but at least it’s certain that Felheim Cenova ordered soldiers to kidnap and kill Jim.

Esmeralda is no fool. She just acts that way because that’s what she’s comfortable with.

But when she shouldn’t, she’s more cool-headed than anyone else.

Because if she doesn’t, she’ll die. Because it looks shallow because someone gets hurt

“Sir Felheim. This is a warning. Don’t even think about interfering with our party any more.”

At Esmeralda’s chilly voice, Felheim Cenova answered indifferently, as if she was not interested.

“Yes.”

“… ….”

Esmeralda was rather serious at the words of Felheim Senova, who answered her readily. She can’t back down so easily.

By the way…….

[Remark: I am thinking of withdrawing from the warrior party.]

She didn’t lie.

“…… Thank god.”

That was odd, but Esmeralda didn’t want to complicate the situation, so she decided to cover the question. Aside from that, she had too many things to care about.

Esmeralda put on her usual bright idiot face, she said.

“Then I will believe Lord Felheim’s words. See you next time.”

“…… Would you like to rest a little longer?”

“Okay. It’s because things don’t look good. Shall we have a leisurely conversation next time? …… And then I hope to see you in a slightly better situation.”

There are no permanent enemies and no permanent allies. Esmeralda glared at Felheim Senova once with her cold eyes, and she immediately left her room.

Felheim Senova stared blankly at the door Esmeralda had left for a long time before she said in a rigid voice.

“Will this be enough?”

When Esmeralda came, her soldiers were also taken away at once.

Someone’s voice responded to the words of Felheim Cenova, who should have been talking to himself in such a situation.

“Yes, you did very well. Sir Felheim Senova. Your noble choice will surely be recognized by the gods.”

“hahahaha… ….”

Felheim Cenova laughed.

It was a self-deprecating laugh.

****

The saintess of the dragon wave party.

Irina Saintis.

By the time the situation was sorted out, she met Felheim Senova one step ahead of Esmeralda and made her deal.

Of course, that deal…….

[Intimidation Lv. 47]

In front of her position, it was nothing but one-sided coercion.

Felheim Senova knew about her girl named Irina Saintis.

She is regarded by the world as an innocent, pure, and beautiful saint, as if drawn in a painting, but she had a story that everyone knew.

That means that she is the real power of the cult. She was as special as her holy power as her saint, but she was dangerous as a person.

“Your grandson is cute.”

Irina touched the decorative frame on Felheim Senova’s desk with her usual innocent face. Took. When the picture frame fell forward with a sound she made. Felheim Cenova, impatient, said as if chewing.

“…… Stop it Didn’t you say you would cooperate?”

Her Order is in Irina’s hands.

And the church is said to have declined somewhat, but its authority and power are powerful.

With just one word from Irina Saintis, small and medium-sized nobles are driven out as heretics and their names are erased.

Don’t you know that it’s an empire? You know, but you’re leaving it alone.

Because she always puts aside things that would get in her way within the proper limits. She was a person who kept her line well in the first place.

“Hmm? You’re talking about something strange. Do you think I will do something?”

Irina made her cheeks puff out in a pout.

Felheim Senova’s behavior, which seemed like an ordinary girl to anyone, made her spine run cold.

An organization with great power. Furthermore, he is in a position where he can make a person non-human with just a few words.

Because she was in front of her like that, Felheim Senova couldn’t do anything.

The fact that she accidentally found out that the porter’s identity was a demon had to be covered up with just one word from her.

She is also an ordinary person. Even if she fights for a cause and peace, she wants to protect her family.

“…… Can I ask just one more question?”

“What are you curious about? “

“I can’t understand why you are covering the demons. Bump… ….”

“If you are going to say something blasphemous, you better stop. It might make me feel bad.”

Irina Saintis, who had blocked the question of whether she had forsaken God in advance, replied with a soft smile as usual.

But there was a stern warning in that smile.

“I see. Hmm… …. What should I say about this?”

Irina smiled shyly as she whirled around like a merry little girl.

She knows, having survived through all sorts of political qualities from her cult.

Esmeralda, who looks like an idiot, is actually not an idiot. That Jim isn’t actually human.

Esmeralda can read people’s surface psychology, and that Jim is actually a member of the Demon King’s Army and is selling this information.

Even that they’re both trying their best to fool the party members.

She knew all of that.

If she hadn’t been able to see that much in the first place, how could Irina have grown the prestige of the church to this day?

So, it didn’t matter to her.

“It’s lovely to look at, isn’t it?”

Because it was so fun and happy to watch them dancing on the palm of my hand without knowing anything.
