I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

79 – The Demon King and Lilith (5)

Demon King and Lilith (5)

While the warrior was flustered by Lieutenant General Liris’s words that she wanted to sleep with him, Saint Irina spoke.

“That’s nonsense.”

She doesn’t like the idea of ​​Lieutenant General Liris and me sleeping together. Of course, I know what she means.

It’s obvious that Irina likes me. That’s what you call jealousy.

“Do you know what you’re going to do?”

And as if continuing those words, Milia spoke with her usual expressionless face. Of course, I know what she means.

She likes me too. It’s just so difficult being popular.

“Right, and the tent Jim sleeps in is for one person, so we can’t sleep together, right? Ahem, if I had to pick someone I can sleep with, it would be me, who’s small… … .”

At that time, Tina secretly made an appeal to me, saying she wanted to sleep with me.

Well, that’s to be expected.

She likes me too.

Well, I’ve shown you my cool side often. It wouldn’t be strange if you fell in love with me.

“Everyone, calm down!”

And it’s clear that the warrior Esmeralda likes me too.

Yes. Not only the warrior party, but even Lieutenant General Liris likes me.

I am such a handsome, caring, and perfect person.

“Tsk… … .”

Hero, Esmeralda suddenly looks at me with a fierce expression and clicks her tongue, but it is clear that this is also an expression of affection.

She’s just violent.

It is clear that she has a more girlish attitude than anyone else.

“Let’s sort things out first. Miss Liris… I think she wants to sleep with me since she’s my fiancé, but wouldn’t it be better to hold back for now?”

“but…….”

“I understand what you’re worried about, but Jim doesn’t share a tent with us in the first place. He sleeps alone in a one-person tent, as Tina said. So there’s no way that the creepy things you’re thinking about can happen.”

“You never know. They might do this and that to my luggage while I’m on night watch!”

“No, crazy… … . What are you talking about?”

“That’s right. That’s really insulting language when you don’t know anything. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to not follow me and just stay in the mansion you were in?”

“Irina, stop.”

“I’m going to kill you.”

“Stop, Millia.”

“… … .”

“Tina, stop.”

“I didn’t say anything?”

“Anyway, everyone, don’t move!”

Are you afraid of being taken away? Esmeralda looks tense as she holds the holy sword and threatens those around her.

Recently, she has become more inclined to solve problems through violence.

“I’ll offer a compromise. Irina, don’t try to use divine magic. Millia, put down your wand… …. Tina, just don’t move.”

How did it come to this?

Why does the tension have to continue like this?

There’s nothing I can do. For the sake of peace, I, a smart person, have no choice but to tell you the answer.

“Can’t we just all go into one tent and sleep together?”

If everyone likes me anyway, we can all sleep together.

Unfortunately, I’m popular, so it’s hard for one person to monopolize it.

I once dreamed of marrying Irina or Milia, but that wouldn’t do if they were this popular.

Yes, I am a man loved by all of the warrior party. And even Lieutenant General Liris likes me, so it would be rude for me to be the companion of one person. It would be best to carry them all together.

It was a decision made with tears in my eyes.

I will support everything.

“No, what the hell… … .”

Esmeralda speaks with a trembling voice, then becomes speechless.

Did you want to monopolize me that much? What a shame… … .

Bam!

***

Esmeralda unconsciously knocked Jim unconscious with the Holy Sword.

Because I couldn’t bear to see those true feelings any longer.

‘You have to do it in moderation.’

Fortunately, the scabbard was still on, so it didn’t lead to murder.

However, the argument continued after that, and despite Esmeralda’s efforts, they eventually decided to follow Jim’s opinion.

She had no choice but to accept it with a heavy heart.

There was still some debate about who would sleep next to Jim, but it was decided to change that to the night watch order. Of course, since the suspicious Liris could not be put on night watch, her position was fixed.

Of course, you can’t get the right to lie down next to Jim.

We kept arguing about it, but it feels like it’s finally been sorted out.

“… … Then I will stand first, so next, Irina, Milia, Tina, and Jim will stand in that order.”

Of course, you can’t just leave the night watch to Jim, who is a spy of the Demon Tribe, so you can see that Esmeralda ends up doing it twice.

It didn’t matter because she had the most stamina and she was used to it by now.

“Phew… … .”

So, the first night watch.

Rather, it can be said to be the most comfortable time for reflection.

Esmeralda was poking the campfire with a poker, wondering what to do with Lilith.

The best way is to kill it.

Of course, since she had spread rumors in the neighborhood about joining the warrior party, if it was known that she had died suddenly, it would have tarnished the reputation of the warrior party.

However, if you think about it carefully, it has nothing to do with Esmeralda. Since you have already received support through the Celestial Order, the Magic Tower, and the Eye of Truth, there is no need to worry about other people’s opinions.

However, Irina, Milia, and Tina will all be in trouble.

‘Especially Irina.’

For her, who is working hard to revive the Cheonshin sect, the damage to her image will be quite significant.

Even now, Irina, who calls the demons insects, is trying to find out Lilith’s true identity.

For her part, she can’t move until she has a firm grip on the tail.

If you kill Liris without thinking in that state, Irina will get hurt.

‘Still, you have to cherish your colleagues. Even though they’re b*tches… … .’

Anything is fine.

If only we could uncover evidence that Lilith is a demon.

It would be perfect if it had hidden things like wings or horns, for example.

She is also a demon, so she must have some demonic characteristics. Jim is a mixed-blood, so even so, if she is a pure-blood, and a high-ranking demon, she must have some hidden characteristics.

“You seem to have a lot on your mind, warrior.”

“……ha.”

Esmeralda sighed as she looked at the luggage crawling out of the tent.

I just put her to sleep, so why are you waking her up and disturbing her again?

“Why are you up already instead of sleeping any more?”

There must be a lot of girls on both sides who like him so much.

Esmeralda asked Jim in a curt tone with that meaning.

“It’s natural to wake up in the middle of the night since you fell asleep at an unexpected time.”

Jim, not caring about Esmeralda’s attitude, approached her without hesitation and sat down next to her. His attitude was truly confident.

Esmeralda glanced at the luggage and clicked her tongue.

The source of her distressing stress has arrived.

“… … Do you have something to say?”

Esmeralda asked, looking at Jim, who was sitting next to her and just staring at the fire with her.

I wondered if he had anything to say, but he was sitting next to me and wasn’t even looking at me, just looking at the flames.

A calm appearance that is hard to imagine from her usual appearance.

At that sight, Esmeralda, on the other hand, began to feel concerned about Jim.

Now that I think about it, I feel like my s*xual desire has decreased a bit compared to usual recently.

It seems like the number of times he escorts Liris and sneaks glances has decreased a lot.

Of course, I can say that it was a substitute, but my confidence has increased tremendously.

It means that luggage is also going through changes.

Esmeralda felt a mixture of bitterness and sadness, but focused on Jim’s words.

“You said this during the day. You said I don’t think about anything. That’s true. There are many people who can think deeply for me.”

“I did say something like that… I’m sorry. I guess I was a little tired at the time. I said some harsh things.”

In retrospect, that’s true. Esmeralda was teasing Jim, but Jim took it as a joke.

Whether it was sincere or considerate.

She shouldn’t have done that. Isn’t this just a tantrum?

It’s something to be ashamed of.

“To be honest, I started out as a porter with the sole intention of helping you, my lord.”

“… … .”

Esmeralda thought.

You’ve been joking from the start.

“But now it’s different.”

“What if it’s different?”

“I was just desperate to survive. So I gave up thinking and left everything up to you and your colleagues. So it’s not strange for you to feel that way.”

“… … .”

“So I think it’s right for me to quit this party. It’ll be better for the party.”

Esmeralda looked up at Jim’s face in surprise.

I never dreamed I was thinking like that.

I never thought this would be the path for a warrior party… …. I definitely thought it was for myself.

[Note: I’m thinking about going back and having a meal with Lilith.]

No it wasn’t.

However, Esmeralda felt somehow reassured by his attitude, which was no different from usual.

“Even if you say that, I won’t make you leave the party.”

Those words, which would normally be closer to irritation and nagging… … .

“okay.”

“Yes, absolutely.”

That day, it rang out softly.
