I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

19 – Hero Esmeralda (8)

Hero Esmeralda (8)

As always, Lilith, who was establishing various strategies for the Demon King’s army, bowed her head as she saw the old man who returned with graceful steps.

“Ah, Lieutenant General Eleven, you’re back. How was it? Lieutenant Jim.”

“As you said, he is a young man who is definitely special.”

“Huh, if that’s the case, I’m glad.”

Lilith shook her head.

This is a satisfactory result. She still doesn’t know what Jim’s special is, but she said that Eleven, who was in a similar situation to her, confirmed it herself.

At this moment, the suspicion that the baggage hidden inside her might not be anything special was clearly dispelled.

As a result, the probability that the future of the Demon King’s army will fly cleanly has increased.

“Lt. Jim must have had a lot of trouble. Where are you now?”

She could have asked Eleven what was so special about Jim, but Lilith decided not to make that mistake and put it back.

She insisted that she had her special, which would be funny if she didn’t know.

The truth is that she needs to meet Jim herself and find out.

“Ah, that’s what I mean. The mission itself failed.”

“…… Eh?”

Lilith was so flustered that she even forgot her performance for a moment.

There is a moment of stupidity in her calm and intelligent expression.

“Failed? Power difference with the hero…… No, it must have been a plan that wouldn’t fail even if we imagined a battle with the entire hero party?”

I didn’t send Eleven thoughtlessly because it was Lilith.

Since then, she has been working well as a member of the Operational Staff Department of the Demon King’s Army.

There are parts of her that are stupid and strangely flimsy, but all of her strategies she has established have been rational and efficient.

That is unmistakable talent.

So, for her, the mistake she faced again hurt her bones.

“The problem was that I didn’t believe you and tried to test Jim. I’m sorry. This is how things turned out.”

“No…… Is.”

Lilith was startled for a moment.

She also thought that she could test Jim’s ability given Eleven’s temperament. De facto acquiescence.

She couldn’t open her mouth.

“At first, I swung my sword to kill that friend. On the contrary, I was seriously burned. It’s not now, but it wouldn’t be strange if he ascended to the position of the demon king later.”

“Yes? Are you saying you wielded the sword? You tried to kill me? No, have you ever had a conversation?”

“That’s it.”

What happened?

No, was it more like that?

Are you saying that he hated the existence that much and returned after being beaten? And tell me you’re proud of it?

Lilith felt dizzy with a headache as if she had been hit hard in the head. According to her today, she felt a lot more like quitting work.

She, of course, implicitly, she is the one who allowed that kind of behavior. However, she did not expect that she would make the decision to live or die. No matter how much it is, will a grown man bully a young man of his age?

She said that she not only harassed her, but also cut her with a knife.

‘I heard that people become shameless as they get older… ….’

I never thought I could do something crazy like that and still pretend to be decent.

For the first time, Lilith realized that Eleven’s rise to the rank of commander was not only because of her strength and loyalty.

That was brazenness and madness.

“Still, this was all on my own, so you won’t get away with it.”

“Did you explain?”

“No?”

No, this madman?

Eleven’s dogma? Right. It was arbitrary without any excuses.

‘But, will Lieutenant Jim take that straight?’

Isn’t it natural to think that they are making excuses like that?

The situation where Eleven, the commander of the corps, swung a sword at a talented person who was even evaluated as being the next demon king.

Anyone can see that this is nothing but a plan to usurp the throne.

Lilith had numbness in her hamstrings. Her fears slowly consumed her.

And then, Lilith glared at the culprit behind the fear.

“In the end, after provoking it, you became hostile to him.”

“That’s it. I made a big mistake. Rule by military law.”

“Haa… ….”

However, Lilith couldn’t say anything because Eleven meekly admitted her mistake.

Even if she wants to be angry, she can’t, and even if she wants to rebuke, she has no choice but to rule calmly and fairly with military law.

She was able to play an active part in her staff that way.

She knows. That it would be a waste to cut off his strength as Eleven.

So, as usual, Lilith answered as an executive.

“For the time being, go to the frontier and have time for self-reflection. Lieutenant General Eleven. I will not bury my sins deeply.”

“Would you be okay with that?”

“Didn’t you tell me to rule by military law? How can I rule with military law a lieutenant general who has only failed to win the favor of the lieutenant?”

“I see… …. Thank you.”

Eleven widened her eyes in amazement at Lilith’s surprisingly calm and calm response.

In the meantime, he has been silently ignoring the devil, saying that he parachuted his nephew down. But seeing him make such cold judgments, he knew he was wrong.

Just like that, one operation failed.

Lilith was able to gain Eleven’s favor instead of losing her pack’s favor.

‘Ah! Damn, what the hell is this about a crazy old man!’

Of course, she was somewhat sloppy and didn’t know how to calculate that far.

After Eleven left like that.

Lilith immediately sent her message to Jim, wondering if she should apologize for her mistake, but then she shook her head.

She wasn’t ready yet in her heart. Let’s wait a little longer.

With that thought in mind, Lilith let out a deep sigh and said.

“…… Still, nothing bigger than this will happen.”

But she was wrong.

And exactly three days later.

It was time for a meeting between the corps commander and the demon king, excluding Eleven.

“By the way, what happened to Eleven? I can’t see you these days.”

“Your Majesty, didn’t Your Majesty ask you to pull it out last time?”

“Oh, did you? So what is he doing these days? Lieutenant General Lilith.”

“Eh.”

Lilith’s hair went white again. When she thought about it, she moved a corps commander-level personnel without the permission of the demon king. She

She’d been given full powers no matter how, but she should have done enough to see.

However, not only did she arbitrarily hire her own manpower, but she even kicked her out to the periphery, saying that she should take time for self-reflection as punishment for the operation failing.

Lilith’s pupils shake mercilessly.

“Yeah, well. Wouldn’t you like to recuperate in a place with clear water and good air by now?”

A twisted smile that popped out as she tried to keep her composure.

And the words plainly contained the facts without any excuses.

As a result, the way her corps commanders looked at Lilith changed.

With an expression as if she saw something terrifying in her attitude, which she was implicitly ignoring.

‘…… Eleven lieutenant generals.’

‘Purge?!’

‘You’re out of your mind!’

This moment.

Lilith has been reborn as the most dangerous person in the conflict within the demon king’s army.

“Hey, Jim?”

“Yes?”

“Ah…… No.”

Recently, Esmeralda has been continuing her journey with Jim in a feeling of dying. After the last incident, I couldn’t raise my head to Jim’s surface psychology, which I see every time I have to change the bandages several times.

First of all, the attitude was polite. He did not s*xually harass her while she was wearing a bandage.

‘It’s impossible to say anything about what comes to mind… ….’

However, the idea was specific.

How about this? I couldn’t help but flinch every time I read the surface psychology.

In fact, Jim is suffering from one-sided s*xual harassment.

Esmeralda flinched at a situation she was experiencing for the first time in her life.

“Aww.”

Jim’s face with a serious expression on his face as he carefully wraps a bandage and his thoughts contradicting that.

Esmeralda knew that she was bandaging her, but she felt the thought touch her body.

“Haa… …. Hey, I’ll take care of it from here on out.”

[Note: I think something is erotic.]

‘Kuk! Damn this…….’

Esmeralda gnashed her teeth.

I’ve often seen Jim say this to other colleagues.

It must be shocking to know that he was forcibly dragged around as a member of the same party for three years and watched every day. He wouldn’t have had a chance to satisfy his needs.

Of course, Esmeralda usually only looked at Jim with disgust at the thought that she could not help it, but she never imagined that the target would be herself.

‘I was careless. The problem is that we got too close.’

Jim usually thought of Esmeralda as an idiot, so he didn’t even see Esmeralda as a target of s*xual harassment.

However, the day he ran into Eleven.

The problem is that Esmeralda, who was exhausted physically and mentally, asked to bandage her.

Of course, the other problem is that Jim has strangely changed since that day.

‘No, it pisses me off thinking like that. Doesn’t that mean you haven’t seen me as a woman until now?’

Even though Esmeralda felt uncomfortable, she couldn’t help but be at a loss as she didn’t know what to do with the current situation.

Someone else will be fine.

I could have guessed what Jim was thinking, but I couldn’t have known exactly.

However, Esmeralda is in trouble because she has no choice but to see Jim’s bare intentions in real time.

She couldn’t get angry at this, so she had to ignore it, but she herself had no tolerance for this.

That’s why she has no choice but to suffer.

“It would be better to finish quickly and go to Irina first.”

Esmeralda had never missed the existence of a priest who could heal her wounds at once.

That’s to the point where she desperately misses Irina, whom she was most wary of.

***

That’s how she arrived at Jim’s hometown.

Of course, it’s not my real hometown. Should I say it was the stage he had made to infiltrate the hero’s party?

To be honest, she didn’t have much inspiration.

Since the enemy she needed to be most wary of had already passed, she thought that there could be no more dangerous enemy.

Yes, Esmeralda was caught off guard.

Of course, she didn’t completely let go of her tension, but the trouble was that she only worried about the forces of her demons that she didn’t know about.

“Jim? Are you Jim?”

The village was obviously in ruins, but it had the atmosphere of being inhabited, and a woman I had never seen before approached with her eyes wide open.

“Huh? Who… ….”

“Oh! My son! You were alive! I thought they were all dead!”

“… ….”

Esmeralda was shocked.

Unbelievable acting skills. Learn!

She realized that the reason she brought Jim back to the village wasn’t just to isolate the hero.

Yes, Lilith has a weak side, but she is definitely competent.

The moment she realized Eleven’s failure, she came up with a new plan.

That is a justification that even the warriors cannot easily ignore.

[Note: I decided to cooperate with the acting after receiving a large amount of money.]

“Let’s live together now. Let’s go down to a safer city and live together! I will no longer neglect my family!”

Destroyed the very reason why Jim tried to join the hero’s party in the first place.
