I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

48 – Dragons and Demons (1)

Dragon and Asmodian (1)

“The customers have no face with me. You looked down on your opponent too much.”

Gly Charentissimo, the Master of the Mage Tower, who returned after defeating three alter egos of Five alone, bowed her head first.

Not only did I leave my seat when the guests were there, but I also made them get attacked.

Of course, the fact that she had to vacate her seat was the plot of her corps commander Five, but the problem was that she fell for it.

“Regarding this issue, I will pay for it later when I leave the Mage Tower. In the meantime, heal your wounds and get some rest. I’m sorry to say this when you’ve already been through it once, but the Mage Tower will become an iron-walled fortress.”

“Ah, yes… ….”

The tone is a little off, but Esmeralda nodded her head obediently.

I just wanted to rest. Even though there was support from the Magic Tower of Glachies, he had to deal with two clones of Corps Commander Five alone.

The wind that was still blowing was enough to make my skin sore. That’s why she wanted to go to rest right away, but she still remained because she was worried about the safety of her colleagues.

“Still, I will go in after seeing my friends come back.”

“Milia has made some really good friends for her. Cancer.”

“… ….”

A benevolent grandmother who pops out in an unexpected situation.

Esmeralda seemed to be incongruent between Glisha, who had been apologizing rather than apologizing just a moment ago, and her current appearance.

‘For now, it seems that you value Millia, but… ….’

Could it be that the child is so twisted because of her education?

“If that’s the case, there’s nothing to worry about. Aren’t you coming over there? All is well.”

“Ah!”

Esmeralda smiled broadly at the figure approaching with her back to the sun in the distance.

“What a magic. It’s unique.”

“… ….”

And then it hardened.

What I thought was a human figure was a strand of tentacles, and a real human figure was a little further behind that.

She sat on tentacles that sprouted like sea anemones and wriggled like octopus feet. Is that all? Jim and Irina were even entangled in its tentacles.

“My Milia, you are good at magic.”

“Did you imprison elemental magic in the form of liquid and give it viscosity? Awesome. There is also a reason her tower lords made her their co-priest.”

“What if I get tied up there…… ?”

Esmeralda pressed her mouth shut. She just didn’t want to get involved.

Aren’t all the things called wizards not found in lunatics?

“Isn’t that great?”

“Yes?! Me? Are you asking me?”

“Well then, our Milia is timid, but she has excellent abilities. That artistry and originality. Did you notice too?”

“… ….”

What?

What do you notice?

Esmeralda was so dumb that she ate honey and she couldn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the wizards belonging to her mage tower gathered on her.

Your eyes seemed to be asking me to quickly tell you my impressions. Yes, I want to experience the vicarious satisfaction of wanting to see the warriors of the famous warriors party praising the party members of the Mage Tower to which they belong.

“…… I think it’s great.”

“Where are you going?”

“Uh…… What is the wriggling point?”

“You got it right! That’s right, the great thing about magic is that you can move freely. Originally, it is difficult to set a magical trajectory that flies in a straight line. However, if you fix the shape like that and give it viscosity and elasticity, it’s slower than a projectile, but much more freely…….”

Magicians who speak more.

At those words mixed with compliments, Esmeralda hesitated and withdrew.

‘I…… You backed away? Me who was facing forward even in front of the corps commander?’

Esmeralda recognized that she felt an irresistible fear.

Even when she ran into the corps commander, she never backed down, but she couldn’t accept the tentacles that were approaching every moment.

It was physiologically impossible.

While Esmeralda was trembling, Millia, who was riding on the tentacle, came closer.

“Esmeralda, are you okay?”

“Ah, yes… …. Was she okay that way? The corps commander went over there too, right?”

“Yeah, me and Irina took it down.”

“What about Jim?”

“A burden is a burden.”

“I see… ….”

It’s a burden that seemed to do something only the moment she took her eyes off her. So this time, I wondered if he used some kind of hidden power like the last time, but it seems he wasn’t.

Esmeralda, in her strange posture, glared at Jim, who was tied to her tentacles.

‘Still, I’ve gotten stronger.’

The level of black magic has risen by 1.

However, the overall estimate was on the high side compared to their skills, so it stayed the same.

Anyway, the moment I thought that this guy was also doing something called growth.

Steel puck.

Milia’s tentacles touched Esmeralda’s soft cheeks.

“Kyaaa!!”

Esmeralda was so frightened that she even forgot that she was a warrior, so she crawled across her floor and ran away. The touch of her slimy lingers on her cheeks.

“Huh…… ! hehehe…… !”

Esmeralda, who didn’t just shed her tears but hiccupped, seemed to have problems calling her a warrior already.

“Why…… ? Also, why the hell…… ?”

Esmeralda looked up at Milia with a pale complexion as if she had been betrayed.

That figure is the corps commander Five…… In other words, it was comparable to the despair that former Garnet felt.

Looking at Esmeralda’s young expression, Milia said with an expressionless face.

“Because cold is good for burns.”

“Ah, that was it. Do not do that. It could really kill you.”

“Yes… ….”

Esmeralda nodded that she understood, but also bluffed.

Her usual acting is so cool that you can’t even think of it.

She was afraid even of Milia at her sincere appearance.

Esmeralda finally relaxed her shoulders when she saw her familiar figure.

Isn’t this hesitant and timid appearance Milia?

“Ah, it’s okay to leave Irina alone for a while. Ugh, the burns are bad.”

“Yeah, okay. Is it okay if I do that too?”

“Of course. I love her way of valuing her colleagues.”

“By the way, Esmeralda too… ….”

“What did I say?”

“Ugh, yes… …. Okay.”

Esmeralda felt that things had been done well for the first time in a long time.

She successfully defeated her enemies and her allies returned safely.

The more I thought about it, the more it taught the b*tch Irina a good lesson, and Jim was plain stupid this time too.

Yes, this terrible daily life is rather familiar to her.

“What remains now is obvious. If I don’t go pick it up alone, I’ll get angry.”

Esmeralda remembered her friend (real) whom she hadn’t seen in a while, and she smiled pleasantly after a long time.

***

Demon Castle.

The meeting of the commanders of the Demon King’s army.

Lilith was always present at the once-a-month event.

The extra lieutenant colonel’s case is also suspicious, but that doesn’t mean she skips a meeting to investigate. In the first place, investigation is the informant’s job, not hers.

“Hmm, are the seats empty?”

Although always tired of being lazy, Belphegor, the Demon King who attends the Corps Commander’s Meeting with a sense of responsibility, looked at the faces of the Corps Commanders.

“From the left, 1st corps commander, 2nd corps commander, 3rd and force… …. There are no fives. Eleven didn’t exist the other day, so can we say that he’s also lost?”

1St Legion Commander First

2Nd Legion Commander Second

3Rd Legion Commander Third

4Th Legion Commander Force

Among the Demon King’s army, they were especially talented people who were likely to aim for the position of the next great Demon King.

That’s why, unlike other corps commanders named simply by numbers, they were numbered in order in the sense that they had the qualifications to challenge the demon king.

Of course, Belphegor didn’t care if the commander of the 5th or 6th corps attacked him, but unfortunately he only knew the 4th force word, so he evaded it that way.

‘What was it, I think I know. Fives? No, Pippis? Yep, I don’t know. Anyway, where’s that Five b*tch?’

He was basically so indolent that he couldn’t even remember a word he had said.

He was originally indolent, but after he became the Demon King, he became insensitive to the point of being bored.

“Lilith.”

“Yes, Corps Commander, Five went missing after heading to Glacies Magic Tower. Maybe not dead.”

“Oh, yes? Looks like you’re behind.”

It is not a big deal even if one axis of the corps commander who rules 1/12 of the demon king’s army has disappeared.

“Then I think that Corps Commander Five is behind…… Lilith Lieutenant, the 5th corps should do something in moderation.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Wait a moment, Your Majesty!”

“Huh?”

The moment Belphegor was getting annoyed and was about to pass it over, as if he had to do it now, the commander of the 12th Corps, Two Welve, raised his hand and shouted.

“That b*tch…… No, two corps commanders have already disappeared since Vice Admiral Lilith was involved! If I don’t clarify that point…… !”

“If not.”

“…… Your majesty?”

“It is the fault of the victim. Since when did the demon lord ask for that?”

“Uh…… Let’s do that when His Majesty ascends the throne…….”

“Me? Did you?”

Belphegor, who had been creating a threatening atmosphere, turned his head to look at Lilith at Twelve’s timid retort.

“Yes.”

Lilith also nodded in affirmation of Two Wellve’s words.

Although it may be a situation where you are trying to frame yourself, military discipline must be followed. Aren’t you just worried about the dragon race’s recent movements?

There’s nothing good about splitting up when it’s not enough to unite.

“Well, then let’s pretend there hasn’t been anything like that since today. If it’s always like this, it’s annoying, so I can’t work.”

“Okay.”

“Your Majesty!”

“Hao?”

Belphe Gor continued to hold on to his horse’s tail and glared at the slack Two-Welve.

“Since when have you been able to talk back to me?”

Roaring!

At that moment, the conference hall is instantly engulfed in blue flames.

“Your Majesty.”

“Incompetent coward.”

Quaaang!

As Belphegor slammed the table in displeasure, the whole hall was engulfed in blue flames.

A strange phenomenon in which even the spread of fire cannot be observed. It was engulfed in blue flames, as if the place they were in had changed.

The reason for Belphegor’s boredom is no different.

“If you are weak, you will be noticed.”

It’s only because he has the power that no one has to worry about.
