I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

125 – Victory Conditions (8)

Victory Conditions (8)

The world also knows who Legion Commander Six is.

The former tower lord of the Kadaver Tower.

The existence of Despair Undertaker is bound to be a hot potato even in the Magic Tower. Isn’t that natural, since he is the Magic Tower Lord who betrayed humanity and joined the Demon King’s army?

However, the 7th Tower drew a line in his relationship with Despair Undertaker by putting an iron plate on his face.

They drew the line by saying that he was only a former leader of the Ma-Tap-Ju.

But people didn’t know.

The iron plate on the face of the rooftop… … .

“How are the other tower owners doing these days? I’ve been busy with work lately, so it’s been hard to meet up.”

“It’s the same as usual.”

It was much thicker than I thought.

He was not the former lord of the tower, but the real power behind the Kadaver Tower. The one sitting in the lord’s seat now is nothing more than his puppet.

He simply wanted to seek the truth, away from the Empire’s eyes.

“I’ll say hello when we meet later, Millia.”

“Yes, Master.”

And the other tower owners also know that Despair Undertaker is the real owner of the Kadaver Tower. Didn’t they all gather together and have a meeting when they took Millia as their disciple?

“How are you doing these days, teacher?”

“It’s the same as usual. We still have a long way to go before we reach the destination.”

Yes, the Seven Towers were not on either side from the beginning.

They were in the Empire simply because most of them were human.

“But still, this one definitely looks closer to Biwon.”

For them, who wanted to become beings that transcended humanity, the distinction between good and evil was meaningless from the beginning.

Yes, just follow the truth.

“It may seem far away now, but one day you will be able to get your hands on the Demon King’s corpse. So, you too, cheer up.”

“… … .”

“I hope I can get my hands on the warrior’s corpse this time. I look forward to future research.”

They love magic and they love those who are loved by magic.

But that’s it.

Because they see the world differently than other people.

“Then I will believe you, Millia.”

They had no human heart.

***

After a brief reunion with the Despair Undertaker, Millia found herself back inside the fortress city.

It wasn’t a place she could normally come and go as she pleased, but she was able to do so as a member of the warrior party.

It’s a fortress because you can set who you want to let through in the first place.

So, normally, you would have to attack by planting a seed inside, but it was rare for the Demon Race to have such intelligence.

And the only ones who could set the standards for entry and exit were the commander of the fortress city or a high-ranking noble of the empire, so it was virtually impossible for the Demons to take control of the fortress city by any means other than physical force.

That’s why Legion Commander Six, who didn’t receive permission, couldn’t enter.

Therefore, as a member of the authorized warrior party, Millia was able to come and go freely.

… … Therefore, the soldiers authorized by the Imperial High Command who were rushing to purge Felheim Senova had the right to enter the fortress city freely.

“Milia!!”

And Esmeralda ran towards Milia, who was walking back without even a thought of that, shouting in concern.

“Esmeralda.”

“Are you okay? Nothing happened? What on earth were you thinking, going out of the city all this time?!”

“I’m fine.”

Milia answered with her usual expressionless face in front of Esmeralda, who was acting all flustered. However, she couldn’t help but smile at the sight of Esmeralda worrying about her so much.

‘Esmeralda is my friend.’

A warm feeling sprouted in my heart.

‘If I die, I’ll be a good test subject.’

The evil purpose that still remains.

Millia didn’t know the distinction between good and evil between the two.

If Esmeralda were alive, she’d be a good friend, but if she were dead, she’d be a test subject.

Since the line is drawn like that, you don’t know that it’s wrong.

A destructive humanity and lack of social skills born from growing up under people who seem to understand human emotions through books.

That’s why Milia doesn’t know.

‘Yeah, Esmeralda is my friend after all.’

The fact that in the current situation, these two goals cannot be intertwined.

***

“I will trust my colleagues.”

Esmeralda did not question Milia or anything, because although she found Milia’s impulsive nature troublesome, she did not think she would betray her.

As long as nothing is tangled up with Jim, Millia is a trustworthy friend.

That trust was the justice that Esmeralda, who could read other people’s memories at will, had to keep.

However, she could also tell that Milia’s condition was strange.

“Mr. Jim.”

“Yes, warrior.”

“Go and find out what Milia is thinking.”

“Didn’t you say earlier that you trust your colleagues?”

“I believe you. That’s why you’re using Jim to investigate instead of me. I didn’t suspect Millia, and Jim happened to suspect Millia, so he dug into the background and passed the information on to me.”

“Excellent, warrior. You have suddenly developed behavior patterns similar to those of the imperial nobility.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“No way. It’s a bad word. To be honest, I was a little contemptuous just now.”

“I like it when you’re honest.”

“It was nothing.”

For some reason, Esmeralda didn’t hit Jim or yell at him.

Because she also knows very well that what she is about to do now is something that stems from suspicion.

“Actually, I don’t really like things like justice.”

“Are you a warrior of justice?”

“What do you know? As people live, if they make a certain choice at one time, they will try a different choice at another time. How can you live if you always make the same choice?”

“It’s surprisingly a very philosophical statement. I’ve read it again.”

“Don’t look at me again.”

“yes.”

Esmeralda didn’t want to be liked or liked by Jim.

It’s a business relationship after all.

That was the best distance she could keep without getting a headache.

“Then go and cheer her up and cheer her up. If you don’t think you can do it alone, tell me too.”

“You shouldn’t have said that from the beginning.”

“joy.”

Esmeralda kicked Jim’s butt and chased him away.

And for a moment, she recalled the superficial psychology of Milia that had occurred when she had entered the castle.

[Note: I consider you a precious friend.]

“Oh my. This is why people can’t help but be cowardly.”

I would rather have him confidently ask her who she had met and what was wrong with her recent behavior.

But when I see things like that, it’s hard to bring up the subject.

Hearing words of doubt from someone you thought was a friend… … .

‘I don’t think I’d like it either.’

***

Jim came to comfort Milia as Esmeralda had said.

Esmeralda is not honest, Jim thought secretly, shrugging his shoulders.

‘You’re embarrassing.’

He is a cute person.

Jim thought about that, then shook his head to clear the thought.

Not now.

If you’re going to comfort Millia, it would be right to think only of her at this time.

Well, the thoughts of the seven passions shaking inside him may be different.

For example…….

“Oh, oh, Jim. It’s been a while. To see you here. Hmm, hmm.”

“Tina, I see. What a coincidence. It’s truly fate.”

“Uh, fate? Uh, not to that extent… … Ah, no, ahem!”

Or, you want to harass a girl who pretends to be a cute and shy person and just meets you by chance.

Tina’s speech was so stammering that anyone could tell it was suspicious. And Jim knew why.

‘It must have been embarrassing for Tina, since it happened so suddenly.’

Tana, who was in Tina’s body, stole Jim’s lips.

It was a sudden act and Tina was left with her eyes wide open and her nose cut off.

but…….

‘Oh, damn it. I still can’t look at your face!’

It’s true that Tana moved her body instead of Tina, but things were different after she got on the crow’s foot.

Yes, that meant that Tina had regained control of her body.

And even though Tina had regained control of her body, she went one step further. That is, it was not Tina who kissed Jim, but Tina’s will.

‘That’s how it all starts. Tina, you still have a long way to go. Just do as I say, and you’ll get a straight answer, right?’

‘Oh, how come!’

Tina still yelled at her inner roommate, who was sighing as if she was frustrated.

All of her advice was so obscene and suggestive that I couldn’t stand to watch it.

‘Oh my, it’s so frustrating. You were doing fine on your own back then.’

Even Tana, who is merely borrowing Tina’s body, has a conscience.

It’s too cruel to use someone else’s first kiss as you please.

So I just pushed her back and left the decision-making power to Tina.

“Uh, um… … . So… … . Long time no see, Jim?”

“Okay. Just 15 minutes.”

“Ah, ahaha… … .”

Jim accepted Tina’s unnaturalness with a natural attitude.

Rather, he even smiled warmly as if he found that appearance cute.

Tina covered her face with both hands from Jim’s gaze and continued speaking hesitantly.

“Well, you know. That kiss we had last time… … That, that was my first kiss?”

“Ah! I see. Now that I think about it, it was only natural, but I guess I was too inconsiderate.”

“What do you mean, it’s natural?”

“haha!”

Tina became serious.

I was speechless at Jim’s declaration that it must have been his first kiss.

Is that what it looks like?

“Oh, anyway! Because of that Tanajini guy, my first kiss wasn’t what I wanted!”

Obvious fraud.

Tina, who had kissed Jim of her own free will, was so shameless that she would sell out her roommate who was still watching over her.

“So you’re telling me to take responsibility? Is it okay if I do it here?”

“Uh, uh uh… … . Uh, that’s… … .”

That was right.

But I never thought that they would be the first to speak so confidently. Tina, who had been thinking of using Tana as an excuse, hesitated and distanced herself as her eyes began to spin.

“Hey, not here… … I’d like a more romantic place.”

“I see. That’s too bad. Well, that’s all for now.”

Jim knelt down as if in her stead and kissed the back of her hand.

“Ah, uh… … . I, I have something urgent to do! Esmeralda asked me to do something! Sorry! I have to go first!”

Tina ran away, feeling dizzy.

Jim watched the scene with a grin.

He had long since forgotten the promise he had made to himself that he should think only of Milia now.
