I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

13 – Hero Esmeralda (2)

Hero Esmeralda (2)

Lieutenant General Lilith, a member of the Operational Staff of the Demon King’s Army and a direct aide to Demon King Belphegor, clicked his tongue.

“I never thought humans would play.”

Failed.

That’s also for an absurd reason.

I was originally going to implement Jim’s recapture plan. It was scheduled for when Jim and the party of warriors left the fortress city of Cenova.

However, I was out of luck. Even though something happened inside the fortress city, they covered it up as the fault of the demons.

It’s a lowly trick of common people.

And Lilith was already familiar with such human tricks.

It wasn’t that difficult to uncover the evils of work.

‘Saint, Irina Saintis. If I did, she would be the only one.’

In the world, she is considered an innocent and noble saint, but in reality she is the very darkness of the church.

This is information that everyone in a certain position knows.

‘Well, Jim knows that too. He is the one whom the Demon King ordered special management, so he must have an idea.’

Of course, Jim was not a man of any position.

Of course I don’t know. To Jim, Irina is just a pretty person.

Unfortunately, only Lilith’s expectations are piling up at this time.

“Yes, the saintess’ tricks are already famous here.”

Lilith smiled as she reviewed the results of this task.

Yes, she knew.

A woman named Irina Saintis.

“Whoops, thanks to you, it’s ruined.”

Of course, what you know and what you can deal with are two different things.

Before they could do anything, the entire execution team was wiped out by the human army, who raised their guard.

This is obviously a huge mistake.

It’s a pity that I was careless that there was still time until the operation was executed.

It took less than 5 minutes for soldiers to rush out from inside the walls and destroy the execution team.

That was the moment when Lilith was holding her head.

“Ugh! Lilith, are you doing well?”

Belphegor escaped the nagging of his servants and came to where Lilith was. He asked indifferently, as usual, and Lilith responded calmly and calmly as usual.

“Of course. Demon King.”

“Cancer, that’s how it should be. That’s why I decided to trust you and delegate full authority, so I hope you will do well in the future.”

“Yes!”

Lilith is a paratrooper from the beginning. She has been acting as a cold-hearted commander in order not to be looked down upon, so she was no different this time around.

She was already in a situation where the act of acting itself was ingrained in her body.

That’s why she belatedly sent chills down her spine at her own lies that sprung out naturally.

She can’t say that now she made a mistake and she ate it up.

Even the number of people put into this plan is the next promising or those who have already been operated as a solid force.

Lilith, who secretly turned her complexion blue, muttered as if she had just remembered it.

“Complete volume… …. Yes, as long as I have been entrusted with full authority, I can still make up for it.”

Like that, Lilith’s snow bowl started rolling.

***

About a day after leaving the fortress city.

I got a call from Vice Admiral Lilith.

“Uhm, can I go to the bathroom for a while?”

Besides the regular report, I received a separate call, so it may be urgent.

“Can I run away?”

“hahahaha, running away from a place adjacent to the demon realm like this.”

Esmeralda smiled and said. I know that much too.

There was no way I could escape this easily anyway. It’s already the third time I’ve tried and failed.

If you do it this time and get caught, you will be suspicious.

“…… Jim, just in case, I’ll cast a spell on you. Come on.”

“Okay… ….”

Milia casts a spell on my neck.

Of course, he didn’t ask for my permission.

Somehow the shape feels like a leash, but upon closer inspection, it was a one-time shield and alarm magic.

Perhaps my body is automatically used when it is in danger.

“… ….”

And Irina Saintis, who can be said to be the most dangerous, this time she just smiles her sweet smile.

She would have been in big trouble if she had offered to put something like a sacred barrier on it.

“That bastard is actually a demon, so isn’t he going to seduce you?”

Tina’s smirking and joking words are stuck in my heart like a dagger, but that’s okay.

She knows everything, but she doesn’t know everything.

***

After a certain distance, Jim immediately activated the communication magic from the Demon Lord’s Army.

“…… Communication Security, Lieutenant Jim.”

A waist that bends naturally even when the opponent is not here.

That was the look of a typical office worker who was afraid of his boss.

– Yes, Mr. Jim. This is Lilith. I came to know about this incident after receiving a report from afar. The situation was very odd. It happened that this side was also about to carry out an operation to rescue Mr. Jim. Whoops.

“Ah… …. Are you all right?”

-Of course, nothing special. Whoops, I can’t even notice that much.

Lilith was bluffing to the fullest.

I am an existence authorized by the Demon King.

Isn’t revealing one’s shame in front of him the same as confessing to the devil?

I’d rather just act like nothing happened.

‘Wow, it’s Lilith Lieutenant.’

Jim bent his back even more, admiring Lilith’s eloquence alone.

It is a demon that is trying to rescue itself.

How can I not lower my head?

“Then you must have been planning a new strategy! Does this require my cooperation?”

-Eh…….

“Yes?”

-No, of course. I was just surprised because I didn’t expect to go straight to the point like this.

“Ah! Sorry! I was thinking too short.”

Lilith was actually trying to make an excuse about how this operation went wrong.

But there was one thing she overlooked, and that was the fact that Jim knew nothing of her strategy.

She didn’t even have to apologize in the first place. Because Jim doesn’t know that the operation execution team was wiped out by an external factor.

Lilith, who had called Jim to make an excuse like a thief tripping on her own, noticed it belatedly.

– No, that’s fine. Originally, I just wanted to say hello.

“Oh! Thank you! In the future, we will continue to renovate for the sake of the Demon King Army!”

Of course, if the order is given to infiltrate the warrior’s party any longer, I will immediately beat the demon king’s army.

And if I were to send them to the forefront of the war against the dragon after they escaped, I would still beat them.

Because Jim, as always, is just a typical sleazy scoundrel.

-Operation, operation. Umm…….

“hahahaha! If you don’t have an operation…….”

– Yes.

“Yes, …… Sorry.”

– It’s okay.

Jim was meant to be joking, but the cold voice snapped him back to his senses. He wasn’t meant to joke around in the first place. The opponent is a being with three stars even in the demon army!

Jim wasn’t someone I dared to talk to.

-Hmm! This operation…….

“Yes.”

-This operation is so…….

“I am listening.”

-…… After scattering the warriors’ party, attack only the warriors.

Lilith put the best plan she could think of into her mouth.

The result of using her brain at full capacity!

Is it because it was more plausible than I thought? Lilith raised her voice confidently.

-The warrior party is originally a group of people selected from each group. I won’t let you act as a party of warriors in that group even for trivial things.

Yes, warrior parties don’t always come together. This is because each party member has a social position that they shoulder.

-For example, what if you said you want to see your hometown? Then, even if you think the heads of each group are presumptuous, you will bring them in.

“My hometown…….”

-The hometown horse during the infiltration operation. A stage made of ruins.

They are party members who don’t have enough time. Then, at the time of Jim’s request, each of them will leave to do what they have to do.

To be honest, it was only assumed when Jim’s insistence was accepted, but Jim felt the possibility.

“Well, since the hero has a righteous personality and has a lot of affection, I think he’ll do a favor other than retirement.”

If the reason you wanted to retire was actually because you wanted to see your hometown, then no matter how brave you were, you wouldn’t be able to ignore Jim’s request.

It would be best if you let go of the luggage as it is, but there is a high probability that it will not.

And if you accept that request, there will be no reason for you to accompany promising players from each group to visit the porter’s hometown.

If everyone is not together, there will be gaps in many ways.

‘But this operation has already failed once, so I don’t know if it will be okay.’

It just happened a while ago.

The case in which the operation team and extra lieutenant colonel, who were put in to save Jim, died. At that time, he was aiming for the moment when only the hero and the saint were present.

‘Ah, are you planning to prepare a trap there in advance? It must be unimaginable to me.’

I don’t know what it is, but it’s a plan that Vice Admiral Lilith came up with himself.

Jim had a lot of questions about it, but he decided to just skip it.

-Hmm! So don’t worry Jim, I think you can hold on to his health. Enough then.

Dude.

Lilith unilaterally cut off the communication, fearing that her sloppiness would be exposed if the conversation continued.

Of course, there was no such thing as Lilith’s laxity.

Because inside Jim, Lilith has already become a rare schemer.

She was actually a burden that she had never been under her command, but she was able to put down all doubts in that Lilith thought of her and that she was quite beautiful.

It was especially important that she was a beauty.

***

Right after Lilith cut off her communication magic, she broke out in a cold sweat.

She had a plan that was too crude for her to think about.

“…… Still, not ruined yet!”

Realizing belatedly that a similar plan had already failed, Lilith thought as she grabbed her trembling hand.

Yes, she has been given full powers.

Then, her lack of plan is to press down with full force.

“You there, call the 11th corps commander.”

Yes, this time I am sending the corps commander.

Her corps commander was the one who was in a position where she couldn’t handle it on her own, but…….

“Your Majesty! Please! Give us another chance! What did I do wrong!”

Not long ago, Eleven, the commander of the 11th corps, insulted Jim in front of the demon king Belphegor.

He needed a chance to make up for it all.

“Whoops, I found a way out!”

Lilith gave a smug smile and crossed her legs.
