I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

102 – Faith and Love (3)

Faith and Love (3)

At the sight of Esmeralda suddenly screaming, Third hesitated as if he was scared.

She approached Esmeralda surprisingly without any real ill will. She had no interest in the warrior party to begin with, and she thought Esmeralda had died at the hands of the Demon King, Belphegor.

I wasn’t that interested.

That’s why she didn’t come looking for Esmeralda.

I just approached someone who seemed to have quite a strong power among humans, just to play a prank.

“Why on earth!!! Why only to me! Why does everyone do this to me!”

‘What the heck, this kid. He’s so scary!’

She has no ill feelings towards humans in the first place. No, is it only humans?

She has a value system that says that as long as something is fun, it doesn’t matter.

Of course, there have been more than one or two instances where it has been in danger because of that.

Didn’t she just play a prank on the Demon King and get beaten up badly and end up living her life with her neck held by her Second?

However, her pleasure urge did not go away, and her mouth would itch every time she attended a meeting of the legion commanders.

If Belphegor hadn’t given Second a chance to save Third, she would already be in the coffin.

Of course, she also knows that she is causing trouble for Second.

However, if she had been able to go against her instincts, she would not have been able to reach the top of the Trickster race.

Because the trickster was a being that became strong through lies.

“Ah, ahem! As for me, it was just a passing magic… … .”

“Dieeeeeeeeeeeee!”

‘Ugh, this kid is really scary!’

Esmeralda swung her sword at the Third in front of her as if she was confused, but surprisingly, her mind was still calm.

She is a warrior. She is someone who overcomes despair and rises again and again.

Although it was a bit short-lived and felt like manic depression, it allowed Esmeralda to show the other person what true madness was.

And as my mind became more calm, I began to realize something.

[List of characteristics]

Dagger Skill Lv. 62

Magic Lv. 20

Illusion Lv. 42

Elemental Magic Lv. 16

Deceiver of the World Lv. 4

Agile Movement Lv. 42

Stealthy Movement Lv. 23

What kind of fight is done based on the opponent’s characteristics.

and…….

‘The overall estimate is low.’

[Comprehensive Estimate Lv. 652]

The fact that it had a significantly lower overall estimate compared to its location.

There is only one thing we can infer from him.

‘The characteristic of that grandiose name is that it is ultimately a type that is highly versatile and requires special conditions.’

The opponent’s strength is low.

But, he has a Joker who can turn all that upside down.

The characteristic of being a deceiver of the world.

It’s hard to be certain just by looking at her name. However, if you look at the list of traits she possesses, you can get a general idea of ​​her form.

‘The Third is an assassin. And he’s not the type to hide at night, but the type to create a commotion and hide in the commotion.’

You can tell just by looking at its appearance.

The extravagant clown costume will stand out even in a crowd.

If so, then the very act of directing attention toward oneself is the purpose.

“Hey, you know. It’s scary when you scream for so long and then become silent like that… … Are you perhaps mentally ill?”

“Do you think I’m so easygoing that I would fall for that level of provocation?”

“No, it was surprisingly a sincere question… … Well, does it matter?”

Third evaded Esmeralda’s sword with a strange movement, then stepped back and stretched. It was a gesture and movement reminiscent of a cat.

‘What are the characteristics? Did you use them?’

Esmeralda stared at the world that was beginning to bend strangely, but she didn’t take her eyes off Third.

An illusion that changes the entire space.

The stage is set.

“I guess I should teach you some manners since you’re swinging a sword at me when we first meet?”

Third, greeting with an exaggerated attitude under the bright spotlight.

“If you showed up like that in the middle of the night, shouldn’t you have considered that you might get stabbed?”

Esmeralda responded with a smile, sword in hand.

***

Irina didn’t act hastily. Of course, she knew that if she hesitated, she would be caught by Esmeralda without being able to do anything.

But her calculations were thorough.

“It’s time to get moving.”

Even Milia is like that right now.

Just leaving her alone wouldn’t be the end of her tricks, would it?

Anyway, Esmeralda will definitely find Milia collapsed while chasing after the two people.

‘And considering the warrior’s tendency not to kill his comrades, I’d say he would at least provide first aid.’

Up to this point, it was the same as what Esmeralda had guessed while treating Milia’s wounds.

But Irina went further and placed a divine spell on Milia. Yes, a secret and insignificant divine spell so that she could detect any abnormality in Milia’s body.

‘It seems like Lady Milia’s health is starting to stabilize, so will she come to me now?’

If Irina had simply acted according to Esmeralda’s thoughts in the first place, it would have been quite dangerous.

If her departure is later than Irina expected, Milia might just die.

No matter how hard Irina thinks, it is impossible to calculate exactly when Esmeralda will return and when she will follow behind.

But what if Millia had died?

If that happens, Irina will be labeled a complete enemy of Esmeralda.

And turning Esmeralda into an enemy was quite a troublesome problem. That’s why Irina left it open.

‘If I don’t finish this work quickly… … .’

So it was important to maintain a state where one wouldn’t die.

Esmeralda’s only means of treating Milia would be the potion she had received with Irina’s support, so it was easy to come up with a plan in advance.

“ha…….”

Irina, who had perfectly figured out the timing of Esmeralda and Milia’s meeting and how they would react afterwards, finished the bathing ritual she had been doing before meeting Jim.

She was also a girl in love, so she only wanted to show her beautiful side to the person she liked.

Irina, who had washed off the dirt and dust from her body and clothes after fighting with Millia at the stream she had previously checked out, headed toward the cabin.

“Oh, right. Before we go in… … .”

Irina blushed slightly as she looked at her clothes, which were soaking wet and clinging to her skin.

Even though it was unintentional, isn’t it a s*xually suggestive sight?

‘Because it’s not something I want to show to other people.’

Before entering the cabin.

Standing at the door, she unleashed her divine magic.

It was a divine magic of the offensive type that destroyed the demon race and purified magic energy.

“Keeeeeeeeeek!”

“Kkaaah!”

It was an attack on an extra who was held captive with Jim.

Yes, there is no need for an outsider in a conversation between the two of you. It seems that you have a personal relationship with Jim, so I won’t kill you right away, but I don’t want to give you a chance to interfere in the conversation between the two of you.

“Keeeeeeeek!”

“Ugh… … .”

A moment later, two screams rang out, and one side was cut off completely.

“Keeeeeeeeeek!”

“Hmm, hmm. This is Jim’s scream. That’s fortunate. The remaining one is Jim. I guess it’s easier to endure since he’s a mixed-blood, right?”

Irina took a moment to enjoy the remaining screams as if listening to music, then slowly opened the cabin door.

“Hello, Mr. Jim.”

“Oh, hello… … How are you, Saintess?”

Jim’s tongue seemed to be tied with the thrill of his body.

Seeing him trying to remain calm even in this situation, it seemed like he was still thinking of fooling himself.

They made a fuss during the day.

“Hehehe.”

Irina smiled innocently as usual, as if she found Jim’s appearance very cute, and walked over to him lightly and opened the door to the iron cage where he was being held.

Irina, who was standing in front of the iron gate, spoke to Jim with a faint smile.

“Can we talk for a moment?”

“Are you talking about something? What kind of… …?”

Before entering the cabin, Jim racked his brain to figure out Irina’s motives for using divine magic to attack Jim and the extras.

Moreover, one cannot help but be suspicious of the location selection, which seems to block the road rather than provide relief.

Yeah, that’s something I couldn’t even imagine if it was my usual burden.

‘As expected. It looks like the Lord has regained consciousness.’

Irina was convinced that the burden she was carrying these days was different from usual.

“Yes…….”

Irina looked at Jim, who was obviously wary of her, and then smiled broadly when she saw that his gaze kept moving downwards.

And it didn’t take long for that smile to turn into a sinister expression he didn’t usually show.

“Conversation with the body… … or something like that?”

Irina’s appearance as she spoke, tapping her lips with her index finger, seemed almost seductive.

She now knows that her appearance is piquing Jim’s interest.

So, there is no reason not to utilize it.

“Mom, are you talking about body language?”

Jim swallows dryly as he glances at Irina, who looks somewhat provocative while soaking wet.

Irina, who had been watching the reaction with interest, made a second suggestion as if it was nothing special.

“Or maybe we could have a real conversation about the things we’re hiding. Which would you prefer?”

It might not be an option for Irina, but it was a no-brainer for Jim. Jim, who had the lower half of a pervert’s body, would instinctively choose the former.

And it would be no different if it were Jim who had the upper body of a wise man.

It would be foolish, not wise, to miss this great opportunity.

However, there is a reason why a wise man is wise. Jim almost fell for a moment, but slowly turned his gaze to Irina and the things she had brought.

“… … .”

Unidentified drugs and syringes.

Even things reminiscent of iron chains and torture devices.

The moment he saw that, Jim remembered that what Irina had suggested was not a ‘body conversation’, but a conversation that was ‘asked’ into the body.

“… … Let’s have a sincere conversation.”

“Haha, should we do that?”

Irina giggled at Jim’s reaction and threw the things she had prepared into the corner.

Thanks to that, Jim was able to be confident.

‘I almost fell for it!’

That I barely made it through one hurdle.
