I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

111 – Twelve Heavens (6)

Twelve Heavens (6)

Esmeralda has been taking Milia’s side for the past few days.

He got Irina in trouble by linking Jim and Milia together.

Because of this, the distance between Jim and Milia became closer and he succeeded in giving Irina a great mental shock when she saw him.

“Milia, leave it at that.”

“huh…….”

Thanks to that, Esmeralda was able to keep a firm grip on her colleagues’ leashes.

Even Milia obediently put down her luggage at Esmeralda’s words.

Esmeralda was delighted, like a master seeing his dog stop when told to do so.

Ironically, Esmeralda’s decision had a great impact on both Milia and Irina.

“Just know that next time, whoever brings me more benefit will be able to stick with Mr. Jim.”

Esmeralda’s decision changes her relationship with Jim.

The two of them could tell that Milia was feeling a happiness she had never felt before, and Irina could only watch helplessly.

Any future relationship with Jim would require Esmeralda’s permission.

‘That’s great. I didn’t know it would be this convenient if Mr. Jim cooperated… ‘

And the reason such actions were possible was because Jim decided to cooperate with Esmeralda from now on.

Jim, who had been thinking about the escape plan all along, decided to cooperate with Esmeralda, which gave strength to the other side. In the past, I would have worried that the two would meet and escape together, but now Jim is the one who can prevent the escape.

‘What’s good is good.’

I couldn’t figure out what kind of change of heart there was even after reading it, but it was a good thing for her, who had always walked the middle ground among crazy people.

‘of course…….’

Esmeralda thought as she slowly put down her spoon in front of the table her parents had prepared for her.

‘This is not good.’

It was at this point that Jim started to grill her parents.

“Oh my, she’s tall, has a good impression, and is also very sincere… Mr. Jim, please take good care of our Esmeralda. I worried a lot because she acted like a slacker. But I feel relieved knowing that she has such a wonderful person by my side.”

“Haha! Don’t worry, Mother. The warrior is truly a charming person. I even fell in love with him because of his appearance.”

“Oh my! Oh my! Esmeralda, you! Did you hear that? You were pretending not to know anything, but you were doing so well in places where no one could see you?”

“No, what are you good at…?”

Jim’s social skills are not ordinary. She couldn’t shout out that it was all a lie, because she was just trying to reassure her parents.

Still, Esmeralda wished that such words would stop, for they put her in danger.

The gazes of the two people who had barely tamed each other are becoming fierce again.

***

When Esmeralda’s parents began to slowly accept Jim as their son-in-law, Esmeralda ran away from her hometown and set out for the Perocco estate.

Since it wasn’t too far from my hometown, it didn’t take long to get there.

There were no incidents in between.

If there’s one problem, it’s that Tina, who has completed first aid, still can’t open her eyes.

“It’s probably still difficult to use, right?”

“I guess that’s true, right?”

The Holy Sword’s regeneration is not yet complete.

After a few days, the fragments of the sword were reassembled, but they were so cracked that they looked like they would break again at any moment. Even a single swing would probably knock all the pieces off.

“Can’t you just regenerate it with the power of a god?”

“Because I didn’t make it… … .”

The Holy Sword is an object that existed before Jim became a celestial being.

If you think about the scenery he saw from beyond the sky, it would be right to think that the Holy Sword is actually a similar being to them.

There is no way that Jim, who has lost his powers as a god, let alone reached Nirvana, can interfere with the Holy Sword.

“What the heck, you’re incompetent.”

Esmeralda clicked her tongue at the fact that Jim’s position had not changed at all from the past to the present. No, had he become even more incompetent by leaving the roles of porter and coachman to extras?

And that’s not all.

“Mr. Jim, could you help me put on my necklace for a moment?”

“Sure.”

Swish.

Irina seduces Jim by discreetly showing him her pure white nape. Jim approaches her as if possessed and glances at Irina’s nape.

Irina’s ears were so red that it was obvious even when viewed from behind.

“My shoulders are stiff… … .”

“Let me give you a massage.”

Milia, who had been looking at Irina with disdain, pats her shoulder and emphasizes her chest as if to show off.

Jim’s actions, which had been slowly putting on the rosary necklace chain while admiring Irina’s nape, quickened.

Jim put a rosary necklace around Irina’s neck and headed to where Milia was.

“… … .”

Irina turned her head and stared at Jim and Milia.

Jim’s gaze was already drawn to Millia’s two chests, and Millia sneered at Irina, who was glaring at her, as if she didn’t like it.

A sight that has now become an everyday occurrence.

“ha…….”

Esmeralda sighed deeply at the sight of the two people.

This incident has led to an increase in the frequency of mutual checks and temptations between the two.

And the problem is that during that series of events, he inevitably glances at Esmeralda at least once.

‘Oh, yes. Have a good love. But don’t look at me like that.’

Jim’s desperation to impress Esmeralda’s parents has also increased.

How is it that as the days go by, our trust in each other decreases?

Esmeralda was not pleased with Jim, the bee that had joined the warrior’s party.

But that doesn’t mean you can leave your luggage far away…

“Oh, I’ll go and look for a place to set up camp nearby. Since the lieutenant colonel is driving the carriage, I should do something like that.”

“Yes, have a nice trip.”

“Mr. Jim, please come back safely.”

“Have a nice trip.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

This was because when Jim disappeared, a suffocating tension began to build between the three of them.

Esmeralda, who used Jim to directly reveal her ambitions to the two people, and Irina, the mastermind behind all this.

And even Milia, who is eagerly waiting for an opportunity to bounce back.

The three of them no longer considered themselves colleagues who could rely on each other. They were just in a contractual relationship.

Irina smiled brightly and put on a mask of lies, while Milia kept her expression expressionless.

Esmeralda, with her hand on the hilt of her sword between the two, braces herself for an imminent situation.

“Ugh… … .”

In such a situation, the ones who suffered the most were none other than the extras who volunteered to be coachmen and porters.

It’s an unfamiliar party to begin with.

For him, who joined the warrior party while being held half-by the neck by Jim, it wouldn’t be strange if his neck was cut off at any moment.

I just held my breath, hoping this storm would pass quickly.

‘I… … should have thought about it from your perspective a little more… … .’

Only then was the extra able to repent. It is said that Jim endured this atmosphere for three whole years.

I regret my own ignorance that made me laugh off that difficult path.

“I’m sorry… … . I’m sorry… … !”

The extras cried secretly.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was the worst.

***

Although we briefly left the carriage to scout out a site for camp, our real purpose was different.

I went about my work with a light feeling, but wasn’t the other person the other person?

Mara papillas.

I’m good at her wickedness.

This also means that he is not the kind of person who would just sit back and take it.

Since we brought her to the Peroko territory, she must be fully prepared.

There’s a good chance they’ll lure us into some kind of trap before we get there.

However, she said she doesn’t want to be hostile to us either. In fact, she is supporting the warrior party.

Of course, the method is extremely horrible and selfish.

“I know. I know you better than anyone else.”

Yes, considering Rapha’s personality, it wouldn’t be strange if he had already been watching us from afar.

Moreover, it was only natural that her eyes would be drawn to me since I was the most difficult person for her to deal with.

I am here to lighten the burden of the warrior, Esmeralda.

Yes, I’m trying to negotiate with La Pa in advance instead of her.

“I know you’ve been following me all along. So, wouldn’t it be a good idea to show me your face now?”

Of course, I can’t detect any sign of Rapha right now.

But, considering the circumstances, it’s probably nearby.

Rustle. Rustle.

After a while, a human figure appeared along with the sound of bushes being cut. As expected, I thought he was nearby.

“Hmm, hmm. What, what do you know so much about me? Uh, we’re not that close?”

“… … .”

But the person who actually showed up was different from what I expected.

The person who emerged from the bushes was the former commander of the 5th Army of the Demon King’s Army, with red hair that suited him well.

Garnet.

The moment I saw her face, blushing as if embarrassed, twisting her hair, I realized.

“Oh, I was worried. Where have you been all this time? Garnet.”

“Oh, really? Hmm, hmm. How presumptuous of you to be. Who cares about whom… … .”

That I had forgotten her existence.
