I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

47 – Mage Millia (13)

Wizard Millia (13)

It was a situation where she was hit on the back of the head and collapsed, but I could tell that I had persuaded Milia to some extent.

Because she was acting like her lunatic, but she was still talking to me.

Of course, that’s how I hit her on the back of the head, knocked her down, and forced her to sit in the cold snow.

Are you thinking of giving a sermon?

Milia?

In a way, I think it’s a very funny sight.

So I confidently decided to try to persuade Milia.

“Yes, but I have work to do. Yes, so…….”

“Jim, that’s what Jim said. Whether or not you retire is up to Esmeralda. But you can’t go on your own. Isn’t your job the only thing that matters?”

“That… ….”

What do you mean by trying to melt me with your tentacles in real time?

You, who acted more selfishly than anyone else, dared to say such a thing?

But I’m still afraid of the tentacles, so I’ll stay still.

What if it’s sophistry?

Since when did we talk with the logic of words? We always followed the logic of power. It’s not about demons, it’s about the warrior party. More savage than demons.

“Jim, if you really want to quit, you have to convince Esmeralda.”

“…… The hero basically doesn’t listen to people.”

“Then did you think I would listen?”

“Uh… ….”

I can’t argue with that.

If I could have persuaded you to go out to the party in the first place, you would have done so right away.

Why on earth did he think of convincing Millia now?

The problem started with expecting a normal mindset from these selfish and conscienceless party members.

This party basically only thinks of itself.

At least the saintess is the one who is considerate of others, but the saintess did not allow me to leave the party.

Maybe it’s because I’m not tied to just one person.

It’s unfortunate.

No, unfortunately, it must be my situation.

“But Jim, you are right. At least, I don’t think my memories with you are related to your body.”

“…… I don’t know what to do to say that you understood even that.”

“You know, Jim. How was the book I lent you the other day?”

“Yes?”

Are you referring to [The Female Knight and the Tentacle Dungeon]?

Are you asking that in this situation? What am I supposed to answer?

Can I answer honestly?

“Uh…… Are you crazy?”

“I felt a love that transcends races in that book.”

“… ….”

Where the hell what how?

Are you sure you read the same thing as me?

It must have been a bad ending in which the knight who was caught by the tentacles at the end became one with the tentacles as his body and mind were stained with goo.

“So I really like that book. Jim, I hope you do too.”

“…… Even if it means something different, I like it.”

Because it is a very useful book for the lyrical time of the night.

If you add the imagination of the book to the video recording Esmeralda and Irina’s travels the other day…….

Well, whether it’s day or night, having time to myself is very helpful.

“Yeah, that’s enough for now. So goodnight, Jim.”

“Yes? No yes? Uhh…….”

Her eyes flashed with Milia’s rare bright smile.

***

Millia was returning to her mage tower with the fallen Jim and Irina gently lifted up with her tentacles.

Perhaps, if Irina came to her senses, she would faint right away.

‘Love is difficult after all.’

I don’t like the idea of Jim escaping, but I also decided to scrap the plan to kill him and turn him into an undead in order to block it.

Isn’t that figure of running away and her judgment also her favorite baggage?

Milia grew to like Jim, who spoke to her over and over again.

She liked that even when she hit her iron wall and couldn’t find anything to say, she was silent, but she continued to challenge and wait.

But, if she kills Jim and makes him undead……. It is certain that all such lovely appearances will disappear.

“Jim, I will try.”

So she decided to focus on the second one. The way I gave up because I thought it would be too difficult.

The tentacle magic she created.

It’s a magic she created after taking her hint from the book she read and was impressed with.

From noble mtl dot com

“To hold you back… ….”

At first, she didn’t make such an extreme choice either.

I thought Jim, who had his own responsibilities, would give up on escaping if the two of them ever had a child.

If Jim had known, this would have been something he would have welcomed with open arms.

However, Milia knew only halfway about Jim.

Yes, I know Jim is a demon.

However, I didn’t know that he was a half-blood demon.

So based on her common sense, mixed blood between demons and humans does not exist.

That’s why the plan to attack Jim and make a child was scrapped.

That was sad. And she was scared

Milia thought it was difficult for her to persuade Jim with words as much as she was bad at human relationships.

She can’t convince Jim. She just holds onto it by force like she does now.

However, even if you hold him in this way, how long will you last? She also has work at the Mage’s Tower, so she can’t always be by Jim’s side.

So she chose a car.

“Later…… Let’s make sure the two become one later. Load”

In the book she read, two people of different races came to an end where they became one. The ending in which the body and mind melted in the mucus of the tentacles, and finally the female knight becomes one with the tentacles.

In that case, she also decided to focus on that ending and melt the luggage and remodel it. So that even demons can have children with humans.

All you have to do is melt flesh and bone with tentacles and set the brain in a new body.

“Yes… …. That would be great.”

Of course, this is no different from the plan to eventually turn Jim into an undead.

And it’s not even finished.

So I tried to make him undead, but if I did that, Jim’s personality would disappear.

Yes, neither plan is possible.

But she knows. Didn’t she learn from Jim?

“So that you can melt and become one with your personalities left behind.”

Nothing is impossible.

I just couldn’t confirm it.

“I will do my best until then.”

A small stone that Jim accidentally threw. That now became a meteo towards him and was trying to come back.

***

Lilith was mistaken.

Thanks to Jim’s unexpected encounter with Corps Commander Five.

She arrived at the place where the extra lieutenant colonel was murdered.

She was the one who thought the corps commander Five would find the place where the extra lieutenant colonel died, so she could be said to have crossed paths properly.

“This is… ….”

Although they couldn’t stop Five from rampaging, there was an income.

There was a circumstance she was suspicious of in the first place, and she was able to confirm it. The first death of a field officer by a party of warriors.

It was even an unusual situation where the enemy would just die.

It’s well packaged to save luggage, but it’s strange.

It wouldn’t have been difficult to get him out if he was a field officer.

So, Lilith was suspicious, and the answer to her doubt could be found just by checking her site.

“As expected…… You are alive.”

Yes, he faked death.

It is said that he was stabbed with a holy sword and died instantly, but no body was left here.

Of course, there are wild beasts roaming around, so it is possible that no corpse remains.

But no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find the remains of the extra lieutenant colonel.

No, among the remains found here, there were only three that belonged to the demons. However, it looked far from the remains of regular troops.

The equipment is old and outdated. Considering that it has been a while since the military equipment was replaced, there is a high probability that it is a deserter from the past.

In other words, the extra lieutenant colonel and the entire operation team under him.

“Did you escape the eyes of the Demon King?”

It meant that he took all the information that a field officer in the corps could read and left without restraint.

***

“Damn it!”

Five, the corps commander who decided to retreat after being struck by the hero Esmeralda’s unexpected blow, was grinding his teeth.

He was defeated by an opponent much weaker than himself. Although he said that the injuries he received from the battle with Agni, the ancient dragon, were not fully healed, but since he was careless and was injured, he couldn’t be more disrespectful than this.

She didn’t intend to pass this on as boldly as Eleven did.

She intends to go back and treat her wounds, and then go out on her own.

Her wire she was in charge of?

Isn’t it a situation where you defeated an ancient dragon anyway?

Even without her, the situation on her frontline won’t change much.

Yes, this humiliating fact must be erased. You must kill the hero and kill Jim, the demon spy.

“Brigade Commander Five.”

It was when she was running through the snowy field, burning with her vengeful spirit.

Five was absorbed in his thoughts until he realized he was surrounded.

“What are you?”

It is not the Mage Tower’s troops.

In the first place, the mage tower couldn’t confine her so secretly.

This is the realm of technology, not magic. That’s why Five didn’t notice the people approaching her.

“That pattern… ….”

They were wearing robes. A robe that covers the face.

If there is a characteristic, it is a pattern that embodies the pupil engraved in the center of the robe and the number engraved like an eye around it.

“The Eye of Truth?”

An academic organization of the Empire boasting a scale comparable to that of the Magic Tower and the Celestial Church. However, unlike the Mage Tower or the Celestial Church, the Eye of Truth was not a place worth paying attention to.

Because it was literally an academic organization.

Mathematics, philosophy, each other’s knowledge or discovery is just a group that preaches in the form of lectures.

However, just by looking at the energy he felt now, Five could tell that the Intelligence Department’s judgment was wrong.

From humans and elves to dwarves and demons. The races are diverse, and each one is a high-level warrior.

And most importantly.

“You…… What the hell does that have to do with dragons?”

All of them radiate the energy of the long-time enemy of the demon race, the dragon race.

“Well, even if you knew that, it wouldn’t mean anything anymore, right?”

“…… You?!”

Five was startled by the familiar voice. He was said to be dead.

A name that I brushed away in a corner of my head without paying attention.

“You make me sad. You gave me a name too.”

The commander of the 3rd Battalion, 12th Regiment, 5th Corps of the Demon King’s Army.

Lieutenant Colonel, Extra.

“I heard that he must have died… ….”

“If they had tried to retrieve the body, they would have been caught right away. Anyway, this damn demon king. I have no right. Jung.”

With the cool smile of the extra lieutenant colonel, the combatants belonging to the Eye of Truth gathered around them took out their weapons one by one.

“Well, anyway, we have come to avenge Agni in the name of the dragon.”

With those words, the extra smirked while holding the sword he had swung at Five over his shoulder.

The energy of the dragon that Five felt. They were weapons made from dragon bones.

“Ah, even though I was a spy, I had to kill you, my old boss…… It’s not too bad. You weren’t a good boss, were you?”
