I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

8 – Why We Need Him (6)

Why he is needed (6)

‘What the f*ck?’

Spatial magic that even in the Demon King’s army, the person who uses it is counted within ten fingers.

This was the first time Millia knew she could use it.

As a spy in the Demon King’s army, there was no more important information than this, but to Jim now, it didn’t matter.

‘What is happening right in front of my eyes?’

Jim wanted to deny reality.

What the hell is this? What were your efforts in the past?

“My efforts…… ?”

How hard it was to pull this wagon. Over mountains and over valleys, he led the wagon, thinking of the horses that pulled them as family.

Even though he lost all of his horses in an unfortunate accident, he did not despair and ran only for this purpose.

Porter’s Pride.

Yes, Jim had it.

Even if it’s a cover for spying, he’s never been serious about it.

He is a porter. He is a proud load-bearer.

By the way…….

“Then what is that?”

“I don’t know, it must be an official.”

“I think I heard rumors that there are rice bugs in the warriors’ party… ….”

Now he was just moving the luggage with space magic, but he had become a crazy servant who stupidly dragged the wagon with his hands.

The murmur of the gathered soldiers hurt Jim even more.

What’s even sadder is that even Jim himself can’t deny that.

“Oh! No…… That’s not it. The wagon that our Mr. Jim pulled was filled only with special items, so he couldn’t use space magic.”

“Ah…… That, that’s right.”

The supply officer also looked at Jim with grim eyes, then nodded at Esmeralda’s desperate excuse.

I just checked the supplies on the wagon that Jim had brought, and they were all weapons imprinted with magic.

“They say magic can interfere with each other, so that might be the case.”

Only then did the soldiers gathered around them begin to nod their heads.

But Jim’s heart had already been torn to pieces a long time ago.

A horse is a magic weapon, so there’s usually no reason to have Jim with you.

Everyone has their own weapons, except for Esmeralda’s sword.

So, it means that you can put all the necessary baggage in the space magic. It will be easy to move around and it will be convenient to prepare for an emergency.

“Hero, I need this…….”

“I can’t, because Jim is an essential person for our party.”

“I haven’t even said anything yet.”

“Anyway, no. You’re going to retire anyway, feeling self-defeating and saying, ‘Hey, I don’t think I should be at this party!’?”

“… ….”

Jim was speechless at Esmeralda’s argument as if he had read Jim’s heart.

‘Hey, I thought you could read my real heart. Be surprised.’

Jim hung his head in misery. This vicious warrior party was convinced that Jim would never let go even if he wasn’t a porter.

“Jim.”

“…… Milia. Since when have you been able to use this kind of magic?”

“You said the other day that you wanted to quit because it was difficult. So, when I went to the Magic Tower this time, I worked hard and learned.”

“I see… ….”

As expected, the joint successor of the Seven Magic Towers.

He said it as if he bought a snack while shopping, and for a moment he thought it was magic.

Isn’t the direction of effort a bit strange? Jim hid his tears alone at Milia’s mismatched sensibility.

“This will ease the burden, right?”

And Millia, the person who made Jim miserable, smiled faintly as if asking for praise.

For Millia, who had no friends but Jim, that was the most valuable gift.

“Yes…… Thank you.”

It was the perfect gift for a young demon spy.

***

Felheim Cenova, an officer in the fortress city of Cenova, was watching the party of warriors approaching with cold eyes, causing a commotion from afar.

No, to be precise, Jim, the porter of the party of warriors who is part of the party.

‘I’m weak, I have no value. He’s not even worth being used as a regular soldier.’

She doesn’t disrespect the warrior party. They had only heard rumors, but they did not think in the slightest that the rumors were exaggerated.

Because that’s what being a hero is.

What if it was a rumor in the first place? They have already proven themselves.

The hero was chosen by God and obtained the holy sword, and the saintess is called the representative of the church by itself.

Wizards are the most talented equipment in the Mage Tower, and archaeologists belong to the Eye of Truth.

However, he is not a porter following him. Even though he is just a survivor of a destroyed village, he cheekily joins the party of warriors.

“I can’t even play my role.”

Look at them still sweating profusely while dragging a wagon.

In the first place, he doesn’t even fit the position of a porter.

How about the spatial magic that Millia showed me just a moment ago?

Does a party that has already reached such a level really need such a kid?

Felheim Cenova knows.

“I have to cut off my lingering attachments.”

That all of that is regret.

The lingering attachment of the warrior party to the porter.

And the porter’s attachment to the warrior party. It’s a hundred times better to cut it off right away in the first place.

Because this is the front where demons and humans divide territory and fight.

That would be good for both of us.

***

Felheim Cenova.

A veteran on the frontline who annoys us demons. The first time I met her, her emotion was fear.

“Hmm… ….”

Clean and angular posture.

One eye as if judging.

An old man who had survived countless battlefields was looking over this side as if evaluating it.

That alone made me, a demon spy, inevitably get scared.

Still, I stood stiffly to avoid showing it as much as possible, but I couldn’t hide the cold sweat running down my cheeks.

‘Ah, what is your expression? It’s f*cking scary.’

Felheim, who looked around us slowly, finally opened his mouth.

“What is it that makes you tremble so afraid?”

‘Ah, did I get caught?’

What should I do? A kaleidoscope is already running through my head.

My first time and when I enlisted in the military. And until this moment.

‘I only remember 7 f*cking years!’

Was that the only valuable part of my life?

Now that your life is being threatened every night after being called in for a dangerous mission like this after hitting a hit in the military?

Is this what life is like?

“That, that, that, Pyo, that expression was so frightening.”

“Ah, sorry. Miss Tina. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

I was calculating about 26 escape routes in my head, and then I heard those words. It was only then that I glanced to the side of her and saw Tina, trembling like a puppy in the rain.

He usually acts so proud, but he also has new breasts than I thought.

No, depending on the species, the breasts are smaller than those of birds.

“Originally, when you live on the front lines like this, it becomes a habit to frown. That’s why it usually happens like this……. I’m sorry.”

Felheim Cenova smiled and handed Tina her candy.

You don’t know what the old woman is doing.

How much does my child hate being treated like a child?

I tried to calm her down by giving her candy and snacks to try to placate her, but it didn’t work for her.

“Wow! Peppermint Candy! Drowsy!”

No, was it just a difference in taste?

Is that the meaning of ‘young child’ that says not to treat a child?

I’ll have to prepare yokan next time.

…… No, I hate the next one before that.

Because I’m leaving this bloody warrior party as soon as possible!

So I won’t think about the next one.

When I’m pushing myself with a spleen mind. Felheim Cenova’s gaze finally reached me.

“And that way… …. Hmmm, the porter who carried the luggage.”

“Ah, please say Jim, the porter, not the porter who carried the luggage. A lot of people are still confused!”

“Yeah, that’s right. …… Does a hero call his comrades a burden? Maybe I was wrong.”

“No, it’s not that my personality is the problem, it’s that Mr. Jim’s name is Mr. Jim. It is a burden that is never a burden.”

“Uh…… Um, heck! Right. Got it. It seems I made a mistake.”

The hero’s useless point.

It is worth acknowledging that he is not nervous even in this situation.

Although it looks like a psychopath. Still, thanks to that appearance, I was able to relieve some of the tension.

Did you deliberately make a joke to ease your nerves? No, the hero is stupid and would not know that.

“hehehe.”

The warrior’s gaze turned to me. It was a stupid smile.

At the same time, it seemed like I heard something like grinding my teeth, but it was probably Tina eating mint candy.

“But is it still hard? Seeing you sweat, I had no idea. Turn on the cooling magic.”

“…… It’s okay. It would be right to think of the condition of those standing on the front first, rather than me.”

“Is that so? Thank you for your consideration.”

After Felheim said that, he began adjusting the thermostat. Before long, a cool breeze began to blow, and Felheim shrugged his shoulders and sat down in a chair.

“It’s a hot day. A little cool would be comfortable for this old man.”

No, it’s okay?

The sweat I’m shedding right now isn’t because it’s hot.

There is no need for such adult attention!

But I can’t even say that directly. Eventually, the thermostat Felheim Cenova turned on began to cool the room.

“Hmm? Is it still hot?”

I’m still breaking out in a cold sweat. If it had been the same as before, I would have stopped, but when I said that I was adjusting the temperature like this, I was more embarrassed because I thought my tail would be stepped on.

“Huh…… Now that I see it, it doesn’t look like she’s shedding because it’s hot, right?”

No matter how much it was, the temperature reached the point where chicken skin would sprout.

Unless Felheim Cenova is an idiot, you should know that the sweat I shed isn’t because of the heat.

“Hey, maybe… ….”

Ah, I think this is f*cked up.

The moment Felheim Cenova started glaring at me with a cold gaze.

“By the way, since we’re tired, is it okay if we report it later?”

The warrior came in.

The timing is truly exquisite.

To the extent that anyone who sees it thinks he came in to defend me.

However, Felheim Cenova answered with a smile as if he felt the weight of the hero’s words.

“Oh, sure. This old man was holding another young man. Rest for now We will talk later.”

Fortunately, the hurdle seems to have been overcome.

Of course, I still feel like I’ve been f*cked.
