Chapter 352

Episode 352: I will tell God (10)

“What the White Crow side wanted was a proper magician who could be trusted even if he had no skills, not someone with good skills but who was questionable. “Did you really intend to hire a wizard?”

“Oh, please don’t misunderstand. “I only recommended that friend because I thought he was the best.”

“Since we didn’t promise any special compensation or endless glory, I wouldn’t have been particularly criticized if I had recommended someone who wasn’t the right person. “But even though you know what we are doing, the fact that you recommended someone you have so many questions about makes your intentions suspicious.”

It is quite understandable to say that the magic items he wears all over his body were given to support the warrior and his party. However, the fact that very few people know about the existence of Erutalc is a different matter.

This was clearly suspicious.

“Let’s just take the stuff, right?”

“Hmm, I guess it’s like that....”

“What? “You’re not taking me?”

The Inquisitor also began to refuse, as if he did not want to take this risk for the sake of convenience. “why?” Surprisingly, it was Meister who objected.

“It looks like there could be a problem. why.”

“Ah, did you think of something you need to take with you?”

“No....”

No, it may not be surprising. Anyway, isn’t it the Meister who was having an excited discussion just a moment ago?

It’s been a long time since anyone could have an equal conversation with someone who views most humans as idiots. So, the desire to hang out with him for a long time is understandable. I even feel like stamping my feet because I can’t logically explain why I have to take him. Yeah, I kind of understand it.

“We can talk later.”

But if it can’t be done, it can’t be done.

“...I don’t want to come back here just to see someone.”

“If you think about it, that person is also a wizard in this city. Is that okay?”

“It’s okay because I’m not the same person I was back then. What do you think of me in the first place? “You don’t like the city, but aren’t all the people there scary?”

I see... I’m not sure what the principle is, but the emotional realm rarely follows established rules in the first place. If Meister says it’s okay, it’s probably okay.

“Your mouth has come to life. “I was worried, but I’m glad.”

“...is that a bit of an expression?”

“well. “I don’t think that’s really wrong.”

Isn’t that rather accurate? After voting yes on Daniel’s expression, I secretly observed Erutalc. Regardless of whether he blatantly expresses his disbelief in front of you or not, he just stands there calmly, as if he’s okay with it.

I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but it looks like he’s keeping his words – that he’s not desperate – very well.

“I always think, Geumpung, you are too tight. “Would it be better if I behaved appropriately?”

“There are problems in the world where flexibility is good and problems where it is not good to be flexible.”

“Okay, okay. “You just have to surrender.”

Really, what are White Crow and Erutalc thinking? It’s too obvious that I’m concerned about something suspicious for him to have bad intentions.

“I did it because I wanted to see the results of the experiment.”

If it’s really to screw this side, you shouldn’t do it like this, but a proper spy—

“I was curious about whether a magic swordsman could exist. “There have also been cases of demon knights, right?”

Before I could figure out what was going on, the white crow told me the whole story. The answer came with shock and fear taking precedence over the joy of hearing the truth.

The Meister clenched his fists and lowered his head.

“for a moment. The results of an experiment on a person...! “Did you really conduct experiments on humans?!”

Naturally, Daniel was the first to become enraged. This was possible because he was an Inquisitor who knew the world well enough to understand the White Crow’s words at once, but was also strict about ethical issues.

“Human experiment...? “Is it true what I just heard?”

The Inquisitor, who was a bit hesitant to understand due to the lack of dirt, had a similar reaction.

As soon as she realized the situation through Daniel’s words, she put her hand on the mace handle and her eyes turned white. It was the spicy expression he made when interrogating him for heresy.

“...I heard this is why I didn’t want to talk about it.”

However, even while bearing the burden of all that hostility, the white crow remained calm. Her legs crossed can be seen through the split hem of her skirt. It was an attitude that showed how much weight he gave to this conversation.

“That guy volunteered himself.”

“...did you know?”

“Isn’t it difficult not to know?”

No. He’s not a nobleman who can live happily ever after, but he’s from the back alleys where people die easily. Even killing people is his job.

Would a kid like that really have a good personality? He’s probably the type that’s docile normally, but has a temper when it’s time to do something.

“This is a world where people die from time to time. “It would be weirder to live without poison.”

“...I don’t think you really know.”

“Shut up.”

...Or did I think wrong? Is my personality worse than I know?

I tilted my head as I watched Meister and Daniel’s reactions. Even though the kid is a bit immature, I don’t think it’s the worst thing... Maybe it was just me?

“well. What if you don’t know something? “Something you can’t understand even if you spend your whole life is the existence of other people.”

However, no matter how much I think about it, I can only feel that there is no problem.

Unlike my friends who know even the color of each other’s panties, I’ve never shown my bare face in front of a friend I used to date or a senior I respected.

“Moreover, there are good relationships in the world where you want to show everything, and there are also relationships where you only want to show the good side.”

However, if the difference in attitude indicates the size of love... I think no.

Just as telling a secret to a dear friend without telling it to your parents does not necessarily mean that you love your friend more than your parents.

“So I don’t care. “Don’t worry about it either.”

In a situation like that, being coy is actually cute. Because it means I want to look good that much.

I slipped the candy into the hands of the helpless Deathbringer. I am OK. Deathbringer pursed his lips as he wanted to convey the message in return.

“The magic item was provided to observe the physical reactions that occurred during activity and to ensure physical stability. “With how much money you’ve invested, it would be inconvenient if you accidentally get sick and die, right?”

Anyway, while we wandered off, the white crow talked endlessly with the Archmage.

“Then just answer this. “Why are you trying to give it to us?”

“Well, anyway. “The fundamental reason for creating a demon swordsman is to hunt demons.”

“...It doesn’t have to be us, right?”

“yes. But isn’t it true that you are the best team to check his skills without him dying? “If you are a warrior, you will be able to intervene immediately even if that friend is attacked by a demon.”

“It was purely for safety reasons?”

“yes. Of course, as Archmage said, you can check without having to be yourself. That’s why I didn’t push myself too hard. “If it works, it’s good, but if it doesn’t, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Even if you listen to the twists and turns, everything that bothers you doesn’t go away. However, White Crow’s excuse was at least plausible and understandable. The Archmage’s expression became more complex.

“Now then, let’s get back to the point. “I’ve beaten my hand this far, so you’re not going to say no, right?”

“...just one more thing. “Can you swear that this isn’t some ploy?”

“You have no trust in me at all. great. I swear that I have no intention of interfering with your cause other than to confirm the results of the experiment. That’s Okay?”

However, if everything he says is true, regardless of emotions, we have no more reason to reject him. The reason I hesitated to recruit him was because of the suspiciousness of that being that popped out, and not because of anything else.

“Then please make a decision now. “I’m starting to get irritated too, aren’t I?”

So what choice will our final decision maker make? I waited for the Inquisitor’s answer.

“...I’ll take you with me.”

This was the answer through clenched teeth.

“The great warrior!”

And a snowy field somewhere in the north.

Berserk held his weapon tightly as he heard the girl’s screams.

“Ordeals are trials...!”

In front of her, there was a crack carved into the air.

“It’s a real glacial ordeal!”

It was a crack that connected to the back of the world beyond the end of the world.
