I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

7 – Why he is needed (5)

Why he is needed (5)

It was the moment when Milia gave me a gift filled with daily harmful grace for the night in my arms.

“What? What? What are you hiding now? Why are you staring at others like that?”

A sly-looking Tina jumps out from my side, teasing her.

In the midst of stopping the thief trying to put his hand inside my arms.

The thief said with a smirk.

“Is this a dirty book? hehehe, well, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

That is correct.

She is still a thief with good senses.

I took the book out of her arms and thrust it in front of Tina’s eyes like a sinner admitting guilt.

“… ….”

Her face turns red in an instant and her smile disappears.

“Ah, uhm…… That’s right. It really is……. Uh, can that be?”

She usually has a cheeky attitude, but in fact she is not immune in this area.

Saint, even though Irina looks innocent, she seems to know everything, and Millia must be rich in knowledge to the point of giving her a book like this.

“Ahahahaha, what else am I saying? I thought you were a spy and were hiding magic tools for secret communications? Ahahahahaha.”

That is also the correct answer.

How on earth can you pinpoint the essentials like that?

In my arms, there is a magic tool connected to the demon king’s army. It was made by the Magicians, so Milia didn’t even notice it……. It’s great.

Of course, I won’t embroider this time.

It’s nothing to laugh at.

“Uh, um. Okay. I need to clean up my surroundings. Ugh, why is there so much trash at base camp?”

Tina shyly made excuses and walked away. And she started cleaning up the base camp’s trash (corpses of dead demon soldiers).

For some reason, tears flowed.

***

The fortress city of Cenova.

A city at the forefront between the demon world and the human world. This was the destination of the warrior party this time.

Then, why did a party of warriors aiming for a small elite come to a fortress city full of soldiers?

That was to deliver strategic goods to the fortress city.

Since it is a border area with the Pandemonium, there is a high probability of being attacked before even reaching it with a decent supply unit, so it means that a small elite warrior party will definitely supply it.

“Hoo-wook… …. Whoop…….”

And what about materials?

I am the porter of the warrior party, isn’t it Jim’s role?

For today, it is not the burden of the warrior party, but the burden of the porter.

The tone is a bit strange, but……. What is it I have no complaints about my name.

How can you be dissatisfied with the name you gave yourself when you came out into the world?

Even in the Demon King’s Army, even if you are a wizard belonging to an intelligent job, you have no choice but to do manual labor since you started as the lower end of the warrior’s party.

“Jim, you have worked hard. If it’s hard, I’ll change you later.”

“…… It’s okay.”

Esmeralda has said that kind of favor, but I don’t believe it.

It’s because I’ve never actually been replaced.

Actually, when it’s about time to shift, I just declare a break.

A year like a dog.

Yes, I don’t want to make a flowery girl pull the carriage.

What’s more, I’m worthless enough to be called a burden, not a porter. It’s a strategic item, but somehow it ended up being about the size of a wagon.

Even though the horses that were supposed to pull the wagon were slaughtered in the previous attack.

Originally, I should have driven a carriage in luxury, but what can I do?

My fate was ruined when I infiltrated the warrior’s party.

“Ah, damn demons. Real teeth tremble My teeth are shaking.”

Usually it would have been acting, but today it was sincere.

If it wasn’t for the attack of these bastards, the horses wouldn’t have died. Anyway, the bastards who wield knives on the battlefield have no concept at all.

“Ahahahaha, sorry. If we had paid a little more attention, this wouldn’t have happened…….”

Hero, you are included, so I won’t forgive you even if you smile so brightly.

Why are you fighting over there? Is there something wrong with me? You will be a very terrible boss because you won’t allow me to retire.

I curse you, champion!

“Yeah, but your strength has improved a lot compared to the first time, right? Jim, that’s cool!”

“…… Is that so?”

Tina says as she looks at my biceps with her grim eyes.

It’s s*xual harassment, but it was tolerated. So in my opinion. I had a strong body as the days went by.

Aren’t I the one who entered the Demon King’s Army as a special trooper? I didn’t even do physical labor except for minimal training.

I would have filled that up at the hero’s party, so I must have become stronger than I was before.

It’s only natural to run away from the dragons attacking the warrior’s party.

“At first, I thought it was stupid, and then I thought what kind of wizard was it? Would that have made it easier for us?”

“… ….”

Tina always strikes the right spot today. My heart aches at her insignificant words.

She was disguised as a villager, and it’s not unusual for her to come up with such an idea.

As expected, the second most dangerous person in the hero party after the hero might be this self-proclaimed archaeologist, the thief.

***

Esmeralda, the hero, cheered as she watched Jim pulling her carriage with her bare hands while sweating profusely.

Esmeralda can gain the energy to live her future just by harassing her demon spy.

‘You’re having a hard time today too. Yes, you have to work hard to live…….’

Yoo Yeol.

Esmeralda can’t stand the twitching of her lips and smiles.

No one can notice that her selfishness is mixed with her cheering smile anyway.

“hehehe.”

A somewhat crooked temperament of a warrior.

But there is no one to blame for that.

She’s playing an innocent, stupid country girl.

“Yeah, but your strength has improved a lot compared to the first time, right? Jim, that’s cool!”

There was an existence that took advantage of Esmeralda’s jokes. Esmeralda looked up at Tina, who popped out next to her luggage and perched on her carriage.

She couldn’t tell the weight of her carriage by adding her one, but she didn’t miss the moment her Jim’s expression decayed.

“At first, I thought it was stupid, and then I thought what kind of wizard was it? Would that have made it easier for us?”

And the pleasant words that are always lined up. Even Esmeralda sometimes felt her heart sink at the joke.

‘It’s really amazing.’

[Remark: Imagining the city you will soon arrive in, you are in a good mood.]

The only conscience of the warrior party.

A girl with one side and the other side.

Until Jim arrived, the girl who was Esmeralda’s only refuge was Tina.

Aren’t they angels compared to people who see people as test subjects or materials?

Of course, Tina has her problems too. The problem is that it is the feeling I mentioned earlier.

-Isn’t Irina a saint? So just instigating and brainwashing people?

I couldn’t tell the difference between the words I couldn’t say because I had such a good feeling.

She must have thought it was a joke in her back, but she could sound provocative to others.

-…… Seo, did you misunderstand persuasion and evangelism, not instigation and brainwashing? Tina. Be mindful of our word choice.

– hahahaha! Are you just joking?

-Huh, Tina is making a funny joke. Still, you shouldn’t say that in front of other people, right? The Heretic Questioner will arrest you.

Esmeralda’s cold expression on Irina’s face at that time made her heart flutter even now.

Of course, even that got messed up when she started spilling out her dangerous remarks without thinking, but her words.

“Oh! I think we arrived.”

Esmeralda, who had been watching the conversation between Tina and Jim for a while, pointed to the castle in the distance.

As the sorceress Millia said, it seems that they are already quite close.

“Now I can get some rest. Are you all working hard?”

Finally, we arrived at the destination of this journey, the fortress city of Cenova.

***

The fortress city of Cenova was a strategic point located at the forefront.

So, of course, it was also a place exposed to all sorts of schemes, receiving the strongest attack from the enemies.

“Still, I arrived on time. Luckily, it seems that there are no demons around. Ugh, what would have happened if we were at war today? Right? Mr. Jim.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Esmeralda smiled broadly as she saw Jim struggling to pull the wagon. She knew

It’s all thanks to Jim.

Because Jim asked the superiors not to attack today because he didn’t want to be hit by a blind arrow.

‘It’s funny that I did that kind of request, but… …. No, it’s just a coincidence. It is correct to assume that there was no plan to attack today. Huh.’

Anyway, Esmeralda’s party reached Cenova without any disturbance.

The purpose is to supply supplies to Cenova, whose supply has been blocked due to the enemy’s containment.

Yes. This stage is the place where the performance of Jim, the porter, stands out!

“This is all…… ?”

The first words were the words of the Quartermaster who warmly welcomed the warrior party.

The fortress city of Cenova was a huge city in its own right. The only thing that came to such a city for supplies was a wagon.

How can you like this?

Even if there is a report that the supply unit was attacked in the middle and suffered near-destruction damage, more supply materials will come in than this.

That’s because a single unit is mobilized for supply in the first place.

It was just strange that the party of warriors who came to supply with just one party.

“What a dog…… Keugh…….”

The supply officer almost burst out swearing, but he managed to hold it in.

The opponent is the hero and her party.

Although it is said that the supply is a mess, if you spit out cursing here coolly, your throat will also be blown away. The Quartermaster decided to express his gratitude somehow with a smile.

“Thank you… …. No, but who is going to put this on their nose…….”

It wasn’t easy.

Your true heart came out without even realizing it.

The supply officer closed his eyes and imagined his own black future.

“Ah! Of course, this can’t be all, right? Milia? Take it out.”

“Huh? Here? Wouldn’t it be better to go to the supply depot?”

“A little is enough, a little.”

Seeing Esmeralda’s bright smile, Milia began to use her magic with her sullen expression.

Colorful magic circles embroider the air and disappear repeatedly.

Thump!

The huge magic circle that was completed just like that.

A huge wooden box fell from the center.

“Here! This is part of it, and there are five more boxes in the future.”

“Oh… …. Ohhh!”

It was only then that the Quartermaster turned bright at the sight of a huge wooden box that seemed to be the size of three wagons.

“????”

And Jim’s pupils, who were watching it, began to shake like a man who had lost his country.
