chapter 68
68 – NPCs who get caught up in everything. (2)
“what?”
“People keep coming from the empire. Ragni Blue Moon Otman. They keep telling me to give her away, but I said I don’t have one, and the empire doesn’t seem to believe me.”
The devil’s mayor called me, so he wants me to come and go so that he doesn’t have to deal with me? If you come here with the intention of scolding them, they are passing on useful information.
hmm. He’s become so aggressive these days. But I think this is all because of my dealings with the devils and not my fault.
And now I’ve passed one billion, and now the empire is f*cking… Where will the resting place of my life be?
“All of them refused to send envoys to find them, but according to recent information, the imperial family seems to be trying to use humans from ‘that side’. That’s all I have to say.”
“No. What’s up there, b*tch. Why do you cut off your words in a voice that only you know?”
“Chew… chew? What? What is that?”
“Have you not been taught not to answer questions with questions?”
A pretty demonic mayor who twisted her eyebrows as if it was unfair because I kept going. But I can’t be pretty if I try to be nice to him.
“No, I’m supposed to be pretty friendly with you, but why are you talking to me like this? sh*t? Which country are you talking about, and I don’t think it’s a nice word.”
“Of course, what should I say? Did you forget about what happened a while ago?”
This dog-like devil b*tch tried to use his powers on us, but a few days ago, he was caught by Ragni while secretly investigating us.
But what about this devil b*tch’s excuse?
“No, that’s!! You said at that time that you wanted to recommend your younger sister to enter the school, so I did a basic research…!!”
“Is it normal to leave yourself behind and use people to investigate? And, is Ray enrolling, you b*tch? My younger brother is going to enter this school, but he got caught doing a background investigation on Ray, and you know who the real idiot is.”
“Awesome!!”
When I clench my fists and frown, the market shuts up with a pitiful expression somewhere in the world and an unfair expression.
But it’s not very pitiful and it’s not unfair. Honestly, isn’t it something you can’t treat well?
“So, which side are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about an assassin. I think I’m going to take care of the princess.”
“…why not?”
Quiet all of a sudden? Why do you want to kill Ragni?
If you want to kill the princess kidnapper, I may not understand if you give in 100 steps, but if you give in at 1,000 steps, I think you can do that.
But you’re actually going to kill the kidnapped slave princess? why?
“I wasn’t going to tell you about it because I don’t know if it’s accurate, but you know that I announced that I had ‘knowingly’ prepared it and stopped it, right?”
“Okay, so?”
“But the empire seems to think that the ‘princess’, not me, did something.”
“…What the f*ck are you talking about?”
It’s a bullsh*t that makes me unknowingly grab my brow. This time, Ragni was a housekeeper, and his face was never seen near power lines.
But suddenly ragni weaved there? Is it because my head hurts that I don’t understand?
“Apart from whether you’re stupid, it took me a while to understand. You know that princess is smart, right?”
“My kid is pretty smart.”
“…Yeah, it seems like you’re looking at the situation in such a way that he’s so smart that ‘even the devil’ was blocked by a strategy concocted with his brain.”
Jesus. Is it possible to think that way? Isn’t this the level of thinking change?
Also, if you think that you are a princess who has even blocked the devil, shouldn’t you be rather desperate to take her? what the hell am i looking at?
It’s a situation where parents kill their proud children… Ah, that’s right. Eight was a dark fantasy right? So, is this correct?
“Anyway, this is all the assassins are, right?”
“Yeah, I think I’ve done enough for this…”
“Then, stop them all? If even one of them gets near us, will you be killed that same day?”
“…what?”
well, what can i do If the empire comes out like that, this side will also use public power to block it. When I tell the Devil Mayor that it must be so, he raises his eyes as if he heard something absurd.
why. what.
“No, do you want me to fight with the empire to protect you? If that happens and a war breaks out or you suffer economic retaliation…”
“Then the Empire will just turn into a bastard and Aigram will be a little less prosperous than he is now. Isn’t that right?”
“Hey. No matter how much I have a weakness for you, if I show up like this…”
“If you don’t go out and help like this, I’m planning to kill you right now, not because of your weakness. I’ll announce that you’re the devil, kill you, and then I’ll become the hero and mayor and use that power to stop you. Isn’t this one way?”
“……”
Somehow, when dealing with these guys, my head is spinning well, right? Do I have any demon-related intelligence increase buffs?
Of course, even if I say this, I have no intention of doing so. Do you like markets?
Besides, if you fight him sincerely, you don’t know whether you’ll win or lose, so there’s no need to increase the number of enemies. but.
“…Damn it. A real asshole.”
“Okay. Then, stop it? Today’s information was quite helpful. Take care of your work well, then. Good luck~”
“……”
Anyway, he is already arguing from the position of a loser that he is weaker than me.
After such a pleasant exchange of information, I walked out of the mansion. I can hear something crashing and collapsing inside, but is it alpha?
But when it comes to dealing with devils, I seem like a real bully. Of course, I have no intention of changing this stance because it is good for the world.
So I went back to where the kids were.

“…Huh? Are you saying Aigram killed the demon of the Seven Deadly Sins?”
“That’s right, this woman. She seems young, but she doesn’t know what’s going on in the world. Should she have stayed in the mountains somewhere and come out?”
A woman riding a carriage heading to Aigram was momentarily stunned by the news as she heard it for the first time.
weird. Isn’t it still a few months away from the demon appearing in Aigram? I’m sure it won’t appear until next summer. Did you receive such a revelation?
“Mr. Coachman. Doesn’t this woman look like she is from the religious world? Don’t you know that she has no interest in the going of the world in the first place?”
“Huh? Oh, I see. He was a priest? So, I guess you’re saying he was stuck in a church, not a mountain, and didn’t know about it.”
“……”
The only religious nation on this continent of Eight. As a priest of the [Eight Holy Church], she does not know the evaluation of the Holy Church in foreign countries.
I’m just moved by the revelation that [the time has come].
“Hmm… So, there’s no point in coming now and pointing at Aigram. Where should I go?”
“Priest man. Where are you going? Are you looking for demons?”
“Yes? Ah, yes. Something like that.”
“Wow. You were a faithful priest. Then, wouldn’t it be better to look into other countries rather than the already organized Aigram?”
“Huh? Another country?”
The coachman wandering around gave the priest all the information he knew.
Although it is a country that is not close to the Holy Cross, if this woman is truly ‘faithful’, then this is definitely something you want to know.
“…Ponia is in a monster parade, and on top of that, demon followers are also visible… Coachman, how long does it take to get to Ponia from here?”
“Hmm? If you get off at the next city, there will be a border carriage that will take you to Ponia in about two days. It will take about six months.”
“Thank you for your kind explanation.”
Although she thinks that the ‘revelation’ before her is correct to some extent, she does not think that it is confirmed in any sense. Indeed, in this ‘revelation’.
[D-Day 3 days until the fall of Ponia]
[D-Day 69th, the appearance of the first Seven Deadly Sins]
Because it floats like this. However, anger, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, had already been subdued in Aigram. That means that this revelation could be wrong.
‘…I was forced to gather my strength because they were told not to interfere in the destruction of Ponia, but now that I am free…’
If you are the only one who possesses the power of [Revelation], which is highly regarded in the Holy Kingdom, and you are the only one who advances without being swayed by the [Will of the Holy Kingdom], then wouldn’t it be possible to change the things described in this revelation? and.
[Encounter with the Savior D-day 352]
Together with the person I will meet someday, I will save this continent from the threat of evil.
Riselotte, a battle saint and a woman who lives only by faithfulness rather than the will of the Church, begins to move in a completely different direction from the ‘original work’.
This is also a snowball rolled by someone, no. I had no idea that the butterfly effect was too big to be called a snowball anymore.

A few days after meeting with the mayor.
“…it’s gone.”
“Huh? What do you mean, all of a sudden?”
I left Ira in the care of Green Stone, Ray, and Gor, and Ragni and I came to the guild for a while to gather information, and I knew that the day had finally come.
[Philia Merchant Guard Request Form – Participation Requirements Starting from blue veteran…]
“What is this request?”
“……”
What do you have? Originally, the last spot was filled as this quest playable was received, but it starts today.
But let alone one seat, three seats were empty this afternoon. We are leaving in two hours, so this request will be taken off in a little while.
As I keep staring at this request, do you see the female guild member standing over there saying, ‘Should I take it or should I take it?’ ‘Otoke, otoke.’
In other words, the moment I fall from here now. This request is dropped as is, and it is confirmed that there are no playable humans.
‘…Maybe I’m playable. I thought about that for a moment, though.’
[- Occupation: Mountain Keeper NPC- Level: 401 Name: Jack. Age: 18 years old.]
Absolutely not. The occupation is fixed as a mountain ranger, and the level is also an issue.
The stats aren’t accurate, but thanks to the additional stats, I became stronger than my level. But anyway, the growth rate itself is trash. Additionally, if you don’t register the mountain, you’re weaker than Ray at level 200, let alone level 400.
To put it bluntly, if you impose a playable location and past life on a level 1 villager, not me, and tell him to become stronger. Stronger than my current level.
You can be faster, have higher levels, and be stronger.
No matter how much I think about it, I’m not a player, but if I leave this here, someone will just die.
No, quite a few of the top guards and adventurers will die.
This is clearly the story of how a sub-quest linked to the Filia merchants in various cities opens as the player becomes friends with the woman from the top of Filia, and in addition, I remember that the woman became close to the player after being attacked by thieves and having her guard wiped out.
It’s definitely not a combat NPC, but it felt like a valuable material support NPC, but you’re not taking this with you? There’s a player, so there’s no reason to ignore this, right?
In the end, I continued to stare at the request, and Ragni seemed to be frustrated with me not answering, so he started reaching for the request.
-Slap!
“Huh? Why? Aren’t you worried about this request?”
“Yes, but I don’t mean to take it.”
“…No, then. How long are you going to keep looking at this? It’s already been 20 minutes. Don’t you feel sorry for the guild employee next to you? I should be satisfied that I’m the one torturing him like that.”
“……”
When I grab her outstretched hand, she looks at me in bewilderment, then looks back at her guild members and sighs.
Really, is this boring? what to do Isn’t it too unpleasant to let people die?
‘Yaya! Aren’t you going to save everyone with quests? Just ignore it and pass by! Having no players means that none of your female rabbits will be NT*ed, so isn’t that a good thing?!’
‘I can see it right in front of me, so let’s save it and skip even the essential ingredients. You don’t have to save everyone else, do you? Also, are you satisfied with the Mazo rabbit and the cat? If you’re lucky, you might get screwed again, right? Wouldn’t it be nice to find a woman with a lot of money and take a position as a supporter?’
The black jack inside me and the gray jack close to black fight.
But what the f*ck are they saying now?
Isn’t it normal for white and black to fight?! Where’s White Jack?
“…sh*t.”
I finally reach out to listen to Gray Jack’s side.
It’s not that I’m trying to seduce another ‘sane’ woman, it’s that I’m trying to save a person’s life while skipping materials or compensation.
Anyway, the request is from this afternoon, so we can move together with everyone. Let’s entrust Ira to Ray and Gor for today, and I’ll go out with this request.
“Ha. Ragni, are you going to join me on the request?”
“Huh? Yes. But what about choosing Ray?”
“Let the kids see the house. I have no intention of taking Ira to a dangerous place.”
“Are you saying I don’t care?”
“You say you need a smart slave.”
“Seriously, the treatment of me is creepy. Rather nice.”
In the end, I took off the request form, accepted the request from the guild member next to me, and went outside…
– Bumpy!!
“What?!”
“Wow?!”
A person suddenly appeared in front of the entrance and rushed towards Ragni, and when I quickly pulled Ragni into my arms, the opponent almost fell forward in surprise.
“Ah! I’m sorry!”
“I’ll go ahead and watch.”
If it’s Ragni’s HP, you won’t die from bumping into it, but being sick is painful.
Of course, that might be a reward for them, but if you get a leg injury, you won’t be able to take them today.
“I-I’m so sorry! I’m a bit busy!!”
A woman who hurriedly bowed her head to us and passed by.
Is it a water person? cat ears? No, wait a minute, that’s…
“It’s a beast. Do you, do you always look at the beast so closely?”
“…do you know what kind of beast it is?”
“Huh? It’s not a cat… isn’t it a beast of a white tiger?”
“…crazy.”
“huh?”
She rushed past us and ran to the guild member, and started talking to the guild member who was trying to process the request earlier.
[-Job: Striker-: Level 15]
And the status window above her head showed an ‘occupation’ that no one in the world had ever shown before.
