I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

61 – XX Tina (6)

XX Tina (6)

Tina, who was making her way through the remains of the ruins and deliberately setting off traps, suddenly collapsed.

“Whew, should we take a quick break? It seems like everyone’s still not feeling well. Let’s rest here and then go out.”

You can go outside soon.

If you go outside and the enemies surround you, it will be difficult to hold out in your current state.

Since the path has already been dug, you should recover as much health as possible before the enemies rush in.

Of course, if you rest too long, reinforcements may come, so a proper compromise will be necessary.

Tina planned to rest as much as possible for that time.

“Jim, come here.”

“Oh, yes, Tina.”

After some time had passed since Tina had started to clear the way, Jim came to his senses and just stood there blankly watching as usual.

Since it was always the case that luggage was a burden, there was a point where I had no expectations for the warrior party and was just leaving it alone.

It was only natural that everyone’s attention would turn to Tina, who had sent such a load.

“Here, kneel down.”

“Is this a lap pillow?”

“Yeah, I just wanted to lie down.”

“Will you do it for me later?”

“Uh… … ? Uh, uh, uh, I guess so. Hmm, hmm… … .”

Tina blushed at Jim’s blatant request, but laid her head on Jim’s lap for the time being.

No matter what, she was tired. She had been hurt just like everyone else, but since she was the only one who could clear the way, she barely had time to rest and kept clearing the way.

It was a cramped environment to begin with. It was no different from being trapped, and there was a risk of running out of air, so we had to find a way to breathe as quickly as possible.

And now that Tina had finally managed to break through the part that connected her to the outside world, she could finally rest.

Yeah, I could rest, but… … .

“Hey, that’s burdensome.”

Tina’s breath was caught in her throat as she was stared at by the two people.

Why? Why are you looking at me like that?

Tina had a good feeling. She also knew that this situation was not good.

“Hmm, hmm… … . I guess it’s better to just sit than to lie down.”

That’s why I had no choice but to get up after lying down for less than a minute, after keeping an eye on Irina and Milia.

However, there was one person who didn’t feel as good as her.

“Then it’s my turn.”

It was Jim who was lying down, cutting Tina’s thigh as she quietly got up.

“Huh? Huh?!”

Wince!

Tina hesitated for a moment, then looked around with her face flushed red.

As her face turned red, the surrounding atmosphere became cold.

And in that atmosphere, the first one to speak was Milia.

“I want to lie down too.”

And she was more of an action person than a talker. She immediately laid her head on Jim’s thigh, who was lying down.

A bizarre situation where Jim cuts Tina’s knee and Milia cuts Jim’s knee.

“… … .”

In such a situation, it was difficult for Irina to maintain her dignity.

She has to be stupid sometimes too.

Otherwise, a powerful competitor named Millia will take the burden.

Without any excuse or declaration, she quietly placed her body on Jim’s remaining leg.

The peace agreement that came like that. Tina, who had been blushing while looking at her colleagues’ faces, was now able to spend her time relaxing and brushing Jim’s hair in front of him.

The spectacular scenery unfolded like that.

‘The prices are dropping.’

A marginalized person.

The warrior, Esmeralda thinks.

She doesn’t. She won’t do it even if she dies. What the hell is she talking about?

Those who were usually considered noble and respectable were now shaking their heads in shame. And what made me angrier was the sight of Jim being placed in such a chaotic situation.

‘Why is that kid so natural?’

There’s no shame or anything.

I’m enjoying this moment as if it were something completely natural.

Even the world’s Esmeralda would have a hard time saying anything about that absurd confidence.

An odd silence fell.

However, rather than the suffocating atmosphere of before, it was a comfortable silence that gave the feeling that rest had finally arrived.

“hey.”

The silence was broken by Tina, who remained silent with a blush on her face.

She had Jim’s head resting on her thigh, but was avoiding eye contact, perhaps out of embarrassment.

But the voice seemed extremely calm, and the hand stroking Jim’s bangs seemed very familiar.

“Remember? I didn’t like you that much at first.”

“I remember. It’s not that I didn’t like it, but rather that it was something that was done for me.”

Tina was against Jim joining.

Of course, I wasn’t actively opposed to it. If I had to be specific, I just gave her hints like a sister-in-law because I didn’t like it.

She thought Jim would die. An ordinary villager was not a good fit for a warrior’s party.

She knows because she has also moved as a member of the warrior party.

“But seeing that guy still alive makes me think that I can’t trust my own judgment either.”

Everyone agreed on that.

Tina’s taste is the worst.

How could you not notice that Jim was a demon?

It’s actually surprising how quickly you can dismantle the trap and find your way through the ruins.

“I came this far with nothing, and I think I can continue on, having lost everything and possibly even more?”

“Tina, wait a minute. That’s… … .”

“Shh, Esmeralda. I’m asking Jim right now.”

“… … .”

Tina remained silent, feeling a strange sense of pressure.

The incompetent Jim is still active as a porter for the warrior party.

Then, what about me, a mere pickpocket who was receiving support from the ＜Eye of Truth＞? Will I be able to do well in the warrior party from now on without that support or assistance?

Only Jim, who carries nothing, can give the answer to this question.

“Isn’t that obvious? Even though you lost so much, you are a greater person than me.”

“There’s only one naughty brat left? He might be the target, so he might just be wearing a wart on him for nothing.”

“Do you want to quit the warrior party?”

“If that’s right, then so be it.”

“Then don’t stop. The warrior has already noticed the Eye of Truth and has even said it in front of you, so whether Tina is here or not, you will be targeted the same.”

Esmeralda’s face turned pale.

The content was one thing, but Jim seemed smarter than usual.

Usually, whenever Jim makes a sharp point, things tend to go wrong.

Esmeralda, although not as perceptive as Tina, had a keen intuition, so she had to observe the two from an awkward position.

I had a bad feeling. I felt like something was going to happen at any moment.

“Then wouldn’t it be better to help me from the side?”

“Well, that makes sense. What if they say they won’t interfere in the future if I give it to them?”

“We are a party of warriors, not politicians or nobles from somewhere. We can’t compromise.”

“Oh, you’re starting to talk quite a bit. Do ordinary villagers grow up to be part of a warrior’s party if they stay there for a long time?”

Tina ruffled Jim’s hair as if she was proud of him.

The appearance of acting as if she were the older sister to a man who is much larger than her.

Jim saw Tina’s soft smile looking down at him.

There were many times when I thought he was childish, but at moments like this, he seemed more mature than anyone else.

However, Jim couldn’t help but stiffen the moment he made eye contact with Tina.

“… … .”

Tina, who had been avoiding eye contact as if embarrassed, was now staring at Jim.

But the pupils of those eyes.

“It’s okay, I want it now.”

Because it had a vertical pupil shape, like that of a wild beast staring at its prey, rather than a human form.

“… … Tina?”

Jim could sense that something had changed in Tina.

And the gentle atmosphere changed in an instant.

“Huh?!”

“Ako!”

Tina grabbed the luggage that was lying down and pressed herself against the wall.

Because of that, Milia and Irina, who were cutting Jim’s thighs, hit their heads on the floor and screamed.

The only one who could clearly see the situation was Esmeralda, who was looking at the group with a somewhat distant and displeased gaze.

[Yonghwa Lv. 1]

[Comprehensive Estimate Lv. 535]

‘What is that? There wasn’t anything like that just a moment ago… … .’

Tina’s change of scenery belatedly appeared in her sight. The comprehensive estimate and new characteristics jumped up all at once.

And Esmeralda immediately got up at this unusual behavior.

“Haha, Jim. You said you wanted to quit the warrior party. Why don’t you run away with me this time?”

“I… … Tina?”

“Tina, what’s that all of a sudden… … .”

While Jim and Esmeralda were suddenly caught and panicked, Irina and Milia also stood up, holding their bumped heads with their hands.

The situation is strange.

I’m saying a conclusion that is completely unrelated to the conversation we’ve had so far.

As if he himself didn’t know what he was saying.

“Esmeralda. I guess I’m going to skip this party.”

“It’s hard to understand why you suddenly came to such a conclusion… … But first, may I ask what that has to do with you kidnapping Mr. Jim?”

“Oh, this? Uh… … . Really? Why am I suddenly doing this… … ?”

Tina’s condition is strange.

Esmeralda could tell even though we hadn’t exchanged a single word.

And the same goes for the other party members. I could tell that there was something strange about Tina’s condition.

“What… what should I say? I didn’t want to give it to you guys. You’re my friends, but it’s just too hard for me to go against this feeling… .”

Eyes with a strange heat.

A gesture driven by impulse.

The corners of the lips twitched as if unable to hide their joy.

“Well, yeah. If I had to be specific, I guess I wanted to have it all to myself?”

Tina giggled and pulled the luggage closer to her.

An irresistible impulse.

A confused mind.

The body slowly changing and the sensation of the body being squeezed as if it were burning.

She was able to calmly understand all the processes that were happening to her body and soon came to one conclusion.

“Oh, shit.”

She has now betrayed her friends.

I gave in to my desire to have it and ended up ruining things in an instant.

Regardless of her wishes.

My mind, which I had been suppressing well, began to lose control and run wild.

The question I asked Jim, and the answer I gave him, both of which I found attractive for a moment, ended up like this.

Tina has a good sense. She can sense where the strange thing that happened to her just now came from.

A scene that flashes through my mind.

A red bead that was playfully shoved into the mouth.

＜Dragon Heart＞

As the thought crossed her mind, Tina shivered and said:

“Ra-pa. What the hell did you feed me? This is… this is too… this is too… .”

Tina smiled in pain and hugged her luggage as if she would not give it to anyone.

“It’s hard to go against it.”

At some point, the wings and tail that sprouted up hug the load even more tightly.

“Jim, you’re okay with that, too? Stay with me from now on. I can give you whatever you want.”

Her body begins to be drawn to the dragon’s instinct.

“Tina.”

And the luggage.

The man, who would normally be enjoying Tina’s embrace while lost in s*xual desire.

“Are you really listening to everything?”

I enjoyed it.

Because he was always the same man.
