I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

93 – The Ascetic of Kapilavastu (6)

The Ascetic of Kapilavastu (6)

The two parties finally intersected.

And the gazes of two people intersecting.

In an instant, the two gazes disperse to their surroundings.

Now, the eyes of suspicion from each party are focused on one place.

“wait for a sec!”

The extras screamed.

“It’s a misunderstanding!”

Esmeralda also shouted.

However, the two could not avoid the suspicious gazes of their respective groups.

‘Oh my God, this is ridiculous. Am I being punished?’

As we headed towards the restaurant the extras were trying to guide us to, we encountered a party of warriors.

What ridiculous odds are these? To Garnet and Jim, it can’t help but seem like the extras sold themselves out to the hero party.

Yes, the extras have shown skepticism toward Jim’s plan several times in the first place. They even showed open discomfort toward Garnet.

Could it really be a coincidence that we encountered a party of warriors in such a situation?

The extras were thorough.

“This is absolutely not a place for a warrior party!”

We chose a place that would be of least interest, both geographically and perceptibly, to contain Garnet.

And in the process of personally investigating and finding a house, I realized that this village was truly an extremely ordinary village.

But, in the end, he too is a demon.

The problem is that I didn’t think deeply. I just looked at the surface and made a decision.

Yes, I never doubted that there was a place with conditions that were so impossibly perfect.

Because the hometown of the warrior was being manipulated by three huge groups and empires, it can be seen that the place he thought was just right was adorned in a way that those forces thought was just right.

‘No, what the fuck is this… …!’

The extras were treated unfairly.

In fact, it was like a disaster that he had brought upon himself, but he did not notice it and only cursed inwardly.

And there’s one more person who’s swearing inside.

‘No, if that idiot was going to run away, he should have gone somewhere far away. Why did he come here and do this?!’

It was Esmeralda, who was in charge of the idiot among the idiots and the morons.

At that time, when the extra was a great piece of trash who tried to sell out his colleagues, she was a traitor who tried to steal luggage without telling her colleagues.

Esmeralda was already under such suspicion.

That’s why I’m under surveillance now that I’ve returned to my hometown.

But of all places, of all places, I ran into Jim in my hometown.

‘You damn demon b*stard. Why are you here instead of going to the demon world?’

She has been the most furious towards the demons since she became a warrior.

There is no excuse now. Her shady party members, who were already dragging out groundless suspicions, would not let this go.

Yeah, she’s probably already a criminal among the party members.

“Wait a minute! I’m fine… … !”

The extras shouted.

“… … I can explain!”

Esmeralda also cried out.

Each side desperately prepared to persuade their allies, not their opponents.

It seemed that there was something more important to them than the fact that the warrior party and the demon party were now facing each other.

After all, isn’t it true that a knife that could fly from behind at any moment is more frightening than a potential enemy?

But unfortunately.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two men had no excuses.

What are you trying to say? This is an unprovable problem.

There is no evidence that he is not the culprit or the informant.

The two people were speechless at the trial scene, which was full of only circumstantial evidence.

“Don’t worry, Colonel.”

But even in this situation, there was someone who believed in the extras.

Yes, it was a burden that was particularly evaluated highly on extras.

“I have always heard that I trust people too easily.”

The foolish and crippled celestial god Jim, who was deceived by the joint work of humans and demons and dragged down from his position as a celestial god, spoke.

“But trusting people is extremely difficult. It’s easier to doubt than trust. But isn’t it good to have at least one person? Someone who always trusts people, fails, doubts, and gets hit in the back of the head. Someone who fails over and over again in countless trusts.”

Jim had a kind expression on his face, but the extra’s expression became more and more rotten as he listened to Jim.

“That is exactly what I am saying. So I forgive you for your betrayal, Lieutenant Colonel.”

“… … No! This motherfucker is deciding that someone is the culprit and is talking nonsense about forgiving them or not!”

Yes.

Jim didn’t suspect anyone.

I try to do that as much as possible, because I think it’s okay to have at least one person show unconditional trust.

It was because he was such a cripple that he was dragged down to humans.

Likewise, this time I just believe that the extras are the culprit.

After all, isn’t this also faith?

“I knew this would happen. Would it be difficult for someone who hit me in the back of the head once to do it a second time?”

“Thank you for forgiving me, Jim!”

It was an infuriating situation, but the extras quickly turned their heads to the sight of Garnet spitting out fire from behind in real time.

He has been headbanged dozens, if not hundreds, of times before he reached the rank of lieutenant colonel. The headbanging of extras boasting perfect angles has planted forgiveness in the hearts of countless people.

“Should we just abandon that kid and go? Or just kill him here.”

Of course, Garnet is the one who made the extras hit their heads hundreds of times. She doesn’t even blink at this level.

“Garnet, didn’t you promise me? That you wouldn’t fight until I left this village.”

“Isn’t this situation a bit different? And I’m secretly omitting honorifics. Do you think I look easy on you?”

Garnet was irritable like someone entering menopause.

If we were to consider my actual age, it wouldn’t be strange if I went through menopause ten times.

“Let’s start with dealing with this situation first. Fortunately, we have the Colonel, Garnet, and me here. At this point, shouldn’t it be possible to escape from the hands of the warrior party?”

“I was locked up until this morning. Do you think my strength would have come back after eating one meal?”

“then……?”

“Honestly, I’m not confident. And… … . No matter how I look at these kids, it doesn’t seem like I’m going to let them go.”

Shashasha!

The warrior party settled in while Jim and Garnet were whispering.

It seems that capturing Jim, who is trying to escape, takes priority over punishing Esmeralda.

There was a sense of tragedy in the sight of Esmeralda blocking Garnet’s path alone with a bug-bitten expression, as if she had been punished for a penalty game.

Yes, I was thinking of taking on the hardest job, thinking of the future.

Wouldn’t you have to do something to be pardoned, even if it’s a crime that isn’t serious?

“under?”

Garnet burst into laughter at the sight, finding it ridiculous.

I was already skeptical.

It was at that moment that I was thinking about abandoning my cooperation with Jim and running away on my own.

But now Esmeralda stood in his way.

And that too alone.

“Do you think I look like a fool after you’ve once taken down my own clone?”

“I didn’t find it funny.”

“No, I thought it was funny. You were trying to deal with me alone!”

Whoosh whoosh!

The battle finally began.

Garnet, who had less reason to fight than anyone else present, was the first to lose her sense of reason and swing her sword at the warrior party.

Weakened strength and stamina due to being imprisoned for a long time, and a stack of Carbuncle Souls, a prerequisite for summoning a clone, that were all used up before being imprisoned.

Considering all that, Garnet’s current level is only around level 800 at best.

The reason she listened obediently to Jim’s words was also because she didn’t want to take any risks right away.

However, she is a woman with a fiery personality, so she cannot stand being made fun of.

And that’s just to that level.

So, the warriors Esmeralda and Garnet swing their swords at each other.

Others also started to engage.

“Hey, mister. Look at me. Do you know me?”

“… … I, I don’t know.”

Tina was the first to start attacking by using her connections.

You don’t know me? Really? I think I do? Do you know who I am? Can you tell me where I belong?

A quiet madness hovered over Tina as she recited the words of countless workplace bullies.

“Ha, are you going to keep pretending not to know? Okay, then I’ll go today after hearing your name.”

Kick!

Tina soared into the air, loading an arrow onto the bowstring of her short bow.

Now that her emotions are heightened, the wings, horns, and tail of the dragon race have sprouted, and her physical abilities have increased.

And as if there was no such thing as negotiation, the direction the arrow was pointed was none other than the direction where the extra’s heart was.

“Have you all lost your enemies in my heart?”

Under the illusion that her now nonexistent heart was screaming in pain, the extra finally took out her hidden dagger. She had no choice as she had no means of calling up a weapon remotely like Esmeralda or Garnet.

‘I guess I’ll have to hold out and buy some time first.’

The extras fought, suppressing their desire to immediately abandon Garnet, who had started the fight without permission.

But if he really abandons him and goes back, Jim’s persuasion and Nabal and Garnet will burn him before.

Of course, Garnet would be so merciful as to spare someone who had betrayed her twice. Extra knew that he had to hold out until Garnet came to her senses and helped her escape.

And the burden that can be said to be the cause of all these divisions.

“Oh, shit. Wait a minute.”

“Mr. Jim, I haven’t seen you in a long time, so I was really worried.”

“I told you, if you run away again, I’ll cut off your ankles.”

He was assigned the worst opponent among the warrior party.

“You didn’t say anything like that… … ?”
