Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

Reuniting with Weird People

"Prepare spills for merchants at times like this. Hey, nobleman. You know what's going on down there? There are villages that have just been invaded and the fields have been vandalized."

It is the young man with brown hair who walks in rubbing hands.

But I know the face and the voice.

- Isaac.

I snapped my name, but before that, it looked like the Marquis of Azur had whitened it.

"The possession of enemy soldiers who have been killed in battle has priority for pick-up by the military. Weapons and money will be taken up anyway. You're giving up."

"Oh. That's too bad."

Marquis Azul, who breathed "Hmm" when he saw the nagging Isaac, turned to me.

"Instead of seeing merchants happily gather at enemy soldiers, I don't think I'd mind giving them the artifacts. So long, Mage."

With that said, the Marquis of Azur leads the soldiers and leaves into the fort.

The soldiers who were following me also walked away to the gate because there were no more bodies. Originally, I guess they were the guys on duty packing into the gate.

Some of them went to me with their heads bowed for a moment.

Maybe he's from Delphion. I'm sorry about the woman earlier, so you must have been glad you could just give her the artifact.

That woman, too, was so small and distant, and I was relieved.

"Well, good, my apprentice"

"Yeah, Master."

When I was laughing at my master, he said nearby, "Wow!" The scream went up.

If you look at it, Isaac is pointing to the master he was talking to me about, and he's puffy and shivering.

"And there's a doll! Are you a curse puppet?

"Yeah. My master"

"Master...!?

"For this reason, it looks like this, but it definitely contains the soul of a master who was a human being..."

"No, I knew you were haunted!

It's been a long time since I've had these reactions, and I laugh.

"Let's not laugh, disciple. My master will be treated like a monster!

"'Cause you're not going to be able to use it for suspicious conversations."

If my master roams the fort alone in the middle of the night, I can talk suspiciously enough.

"And Isaac's right, it's definitely a ghost inside..."

I look up to Isaac, thinking you can't deny it.

"Um... Isaac, right? Different hair color, though."

"Oh, this is it? Yeah, well, there's a lot going on."

Apparently, he dyed it. Isaac picks his hair and laughs.

He was in and out of the fort by carriage, so I guess he was here to do business, but was he even in the fort with someone he didn't want to know about?

"But"

And cut the word, and Isaac sees where he buried the people who were enemy soldiers earlier.

"I heard rumors... are you really doing this?"

"What... rumors?

Is it true that you're burying enemies, even with bad reviews, stand?

Terrified to hear, Isaac replied rustling.

"That's two streets. Evrar's sorcerer is buried generously until the enemy soldiers. I don't know what the sorcerer thinks, but the one thing is that he seems to avoid the disease. I don't know if we can separate ourselves from our enemies, but it's what magicians do, so when we bury them, they make them look like they're replacements for sacrifices they make to the devil."

"Sacrifice..."

I don't need anything like that, but it wasn't a worse rumor than I thought.

Master, etc., is strangely ugly and laughs "Uhihihihihi, the sacrifice of the devil, Uhihihihi".

Isaac looked really creepy at such a master.

"I didn't believe in sacrifice, but when I saw that talking doll, it seemed more real and scarier."

Well, even I would be surprised if a talking doll showed up suddenly. When I first made it, I thought it was creepy.

Now I even feel adorable and cute.

"Well, if you're carrying that around, don't you think it's too creepy to want to piss you off? Didn't you have to break in earlier?

"Yeah, thanks. Thanks."

Apparently Isaac came to me thinking I was in trouble.

To be honest with you, Isaac opened his eyes a little and looked away awkwardly.

"No... well, you see, I thought you were familiar with me for once, but you wouldn't call me, just trying to come. If it helps, go ahead."

Hi, this guy seems to light up when he's frankly pleased.

I really appreciate it because I didn't have to get all weird with the Marquis Azul either.

"You didn't think Isaac was... weird than that?

About the sorcerer who buries the bodies of enemy soldiers.

But this is how he easily spoke to me, which makes me wonder if he cares.

"Weird? Well, that would be weird"

I was a little disappointed when they said it lightly.

"Well, but there's nothing wrong with being polite to someone who's had a dignified exchange of lives"

I looked up seriously to Isaac, surprised by my new opinion.

"Hey, what is it? Weird? There's a lot of skirmishes in my hometown because I'm not that wealthy, but that's why people in the same region have to unite, you know, move apart when they're invaded or something, you know? So if you decide to win or lose there, you have to put an end to your commitment to the person you exchanged your life with."

I continued with Isaac looking a little faraway.

"And the soldier who knocked it down didn't decide to invade. The soldier in front of you will have to respond to conscription for his family if he is to replace the tax. I bought the price for vandalizing someone else's field with my own life. I don't care what you do to a guy who's still alive..."

So, uh, I remember Reggie's words.

He said it was up to him to take responsibility.

Probably what Isaac is saying, isn't it the same thing?

I didn't realize it when Reggie said it, but it's true that the royal family made the final decision, so I guess it's also going to be responsible. Soldiers just fought when they were told, and unless they plundered themselves, they didn't have to bear all the resentment of their enemies.

I'm convinced that Isaac said, "Oh, yeah. You like this," he says, offering me a bag.

Take it, it was a cookie.

"What's wrong with this?"

"Well, sweetness is best when you're tired. I'll do it."

"Thanks!"

I'm a merchant, so I guess I got it in that relationship.

I just tried to put it in one mouthful, but when I thought about it, it was after a sticky touch of dirt. I noticed that Isaac said, "Shall I feed you? I'm going to say.

"Yeah, I want to taste one!

Even Cassia bought snacks, but sometimes I want different treats. I gave it to Alan about half the time.

Isaac said, "Oh, my God," and offered me one cookie.

At that time he looked like he said "yaba" as he had returned to me, but after I ate the cookies that had already been picked.

Nice smell and taste of butter, sugar and flour roasted. My head stains with happy colors.

When the master is laughing "uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-

For some reason, a lit Isaac has asked me weird things to delude.

"Uh yeah. By the way, was there a sorcerer when you attacked this fort?

"Huh? Mage?

"No, I heard you came to Delphion or something... if you weren't there. It could have been a gaceneta."

Forget it, Isaac waves.

I don't know if you hear anything strange, but maybe you've heard from someone about the sorcerer creep Luain puts on the battlefield.

"Whatever, I'm glad you're not... spicy yet."

I'm afraid of killing people, and you must have remembered the story I was crying about.

"I don't know why you're doing something like that again.... If it stayed that way, I'd ask if I'd run away from here..."

Run away.

Hearing those words, I find myself a little uninspired, and I feel a grin on my face unexpectedly.

"Thanks...... but I have something I want to protect"

"People?

I laugh at Isaac's somewhat unfortunate look, thinking you're a good person.

Anyway, that too, and you must have bothered to speak to me.

"People like family. But I've been having trouble during this time because people say you don't have to fight me. But if I hadn't fought, that person might have been killed."

"Is he weak?

Weak, so I guess they thought I had to protect them.

"I think you're strong, people who know what to do and don't think you're scared like me, not like this with sword arms"

Even Reggie and Mr. Cain and Alan are. Even Mrs. Beatrice wouldn't say you're as scared as I am if you made up your mind.

"... you like him?

"We're all loved ones."

Nobody wants to lose it, but it's no different. Yet Isaac glanced.

"You're not the kind of guy who lives in such a spirit of fraternity. If I had, I would have said it differently to your nobility earlier."

"Huh? Well, I don't think you have a fraternal spirit..."

I can't believe it's for the good of all. It's beyond my control in the spirit of ordinary people.

As much as I want to protect only the people I know, I'm going to overcapacity them.

"I suppose there's a reason why you decided to fight. Mostly for someone specific, right?

"A trigger?"

I had to be a magician and I thought I had to help because I remembered the death of Reggie and Uncle Vayne Borderline.

"Because I thought the people who became benefactors might die..."

"Put your life and your balance on it. You're not just a benefactor."

I am confused by the pursuit of Isaac. Just for a benefactor, is it weird to risk your life?

"If I were you, I'd be the only family... in exchange for my life. But I wouldn't risk my life if it wasn't for the guy who wants me alive."

Isaac, who said so much, suddenly waves to me and walks towards the carriage.

"Looks like your pick up is coming. See you later."

I was surprised by the shittiness and the way it went away, but I'm convinced to see someone approaching me from the gate, as Isaac put it.

"That, Reggie"

There is no such thing as a person with silver hair. Besides, he's got a knight.

Isaac must have left because he thought it would be a hassle if he got involved.

But even though the general is wearing an escort, what about Mr. Felix taking only one of us out of the fort or something?

Quickly pay attention to Reggie, who has come close.

"Reggie, it's not safe to come out here."

"That's something I can tell you, too. I just happened to see you, so I came here to tell you I should get back soon."

I got hit back lightly.

"And what about that guy earlier? Looks like a merchant. Did you know him?

"Yeah. It belongs to enemy soldiers... people who don't use it anymore, I just came to ask if you could sell it"

I'm not lying.

I didn't say it, but for some reason I felt like hiding it, which is why I replied.
