The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

114 – Enemies everywhere (2)

“My name is Lucas. He is the leader of the scouting party.”

When I heard the man’s self-introduction, I felt a surge of displeasure.

The person I most wanted to avoid when I fell into this world.

The worst ally who betrayed the kingdom and humanity was in front of me.

“My name is Seohyun. These are my colleagues.”

He accepted the handshake while pretending to be calm.

Lucas smiled as the friendly attitude returned.

“Yes. I heard from Yulia that he has a lot of skills.”

He already knew we were coming. You must know information about us through Yulia.

Lucas looked back at us and suddenly flinched and shuddered.

There were two stinging eyes looking at him.

The golden and red eyes were full of hostility.

“hahahaha… Let’s not be so nervous. We will work together in the future.”

Lucas tried to defuse the situation with a shy laugh.

But no one answered his words.

Even Celica, who had a kind personality, kept her mouth shut while watching her.

But you can’t kick out a visitor without saying anything.

“You seem to have a lot to say. Shall we go out and talk?”

“Oh. Okay. The inn is also quiet.”

Lucas seemed to think we could communicate, but he closed the distance with me.

At the same time, he was avoiding the wary gaze directed at him.

“Erina.”

“I’ll go too.”

As expected, Erina followed me and stood up. Then Lucas waved his hand with a disapproving expression.

“No, you don’t have to come, just one person…”

“Shut up.”

A voice full of hate made the atmosphere heavy.

Spitting curse words in the first meeting. There was no rudeness like this.

But Lucas didn’t show any signs of displeasure. He just seemed frightened and his smile hardened.

Why should he be guarded against and hostile?

He couldn’t understand at all. His body just froze in his visceral sense of fear.

“Stop it.”

I know what kind of person he is, but I haven’t met him for the first time.

We knew that Lucas would betray us in the near future.

Of course, I don’t intend to be silent, but it was too hasty to show vigilance already.

Like it or not, there was nothing good about ostracizing the people with whom you had to carry out the mission.

“Let’s go down first. Celica and Kayla are resting in the room for a while.”

“Okay.”

When we finally got out of the room, Erina, I, and Lucas were the only people left.

A quiet hallway. A space where silence flows.

I apologized to Lucas first to change the awkward atmosphere.

“I’m sorry. Because my colleagues are a little sensitive.”

“Oh, no. They are all beautiful people.”

In response to his answer, Erina began to spread her life openly. Then she suddenly grabbed my arm and crossed hers.

It was an exaggerated action to show off my relationship.

“Seohyun. This kind of person…”

“Erina. Please stay still.”

I knew this would happen.

I wanted to have a private meeting with Lucas, but it would be impossible.

Rather, it was the best alternative to have Erina stay by her side.

After the situation finally calmed down, she invited Lucas to a tea time.

“Let’s sit down and talk. Do you like tea?”

“Ah… okay!”

At my words, Lucas hurriedly left his seat and headed to the table at the inn.

Faced with me and Erina, he kept a smile, but his pupils just wandered with nowhere to go.

“It must have come a long way, but I will buy it today.”

Lucas was also doing his best to smooth out the dark atmosphere.

Of course, Erina did not lose her vigilance.

“Thank you.”

At least Lucas put on a relieved expression whenever I spoke.

At least in this situation, I was the only one who could speak.

While receiving hostility from everyone, it meant that I was the only person to lean on.

“Drink as much as you like. It is a special product that can only be drunk in Tarn Village.”

There was black tea in the mug brought by the waiter.

The taste was similar to black tea, but it had a fruity scent and a unique flavor.

“It’s okay. Delicious.”

“I’m glad. I really like the car, but I have a few likes and dislikes.”

After that, I spent time drinking tea with fruit.

A casual greeting and self-introduction. And it didn’t take long for it to lead to miscellaneous answers.

Unsurprisingly, Lucas was very close to his words. He has a relaxed expression with a lively voice and the occasional joke.

While Lucas and I had a moderate conversation and opened our mouths, Erina did not budge.

I didn’t even touch the tea the waitress had brought, I just kept an eye on the man.

Fortunately, Lucas seemed to have adapted to a certain extent and continued his conversation with me.

“So, do you know what to do?”

“Yes. I heard they are scouting Hellwood Forest.”

Elves and Demon Lords. And kingdom.

The three forces were in a tense confrontation around Hellwood Forest.

The elf asked for help from the kingdom, but there was no reply yet.

If the kingdom accepts the help of the elves, the invasion of the Demon King’s army will happen immediately.

The moment the news spreads, Hellwood Forest will turn into a battlefield.

“Recently, a direct clash almost occurred between the Elves and the Demon Lords.”

It is said that a month ago, a scout from the Demon King’s army was shot dead by an elf’s arrow at the entrance to Hellwood Forest.

Fortunately, the army did not move, but it could have become a source of war.

“Have you ever met an elf in person?”

“It happened several times. Fortunately, it was only a warning.”

“Maybe they don’t want to cause a conflict with the kingdom.”

“Right. If we were the demon king’s army, wouldn’t the arrows have come flying right away?”

Lucas smiled with a light joke.

Knowing that he was a traitor, it was just funny.

“So, what should we do?”

“It’s simple. I plan to go into Hellwood Forest in two days.”

The reconnaissance party in Helwood Forest consisted of three platoons.

There are approximately five people per platoon. Among them, Lucas decided to join us.

The reconnaissance mission was simpler than expected. The task of grasping and reporting the trends of the Demon King’s Army and the Elves.

Of course, the mission was simple, but it was quite dangerous as it crossed the borders of three countries.

“I heard that you defeated Ragnar.”

Lucas was looking at me with a friendly gaze.

In this world, the person who killed the Four Heavenly Kings was quite rare.

To think that only a party of adventurers defeated Ragnar, the Four Heavenly Kings.

It was natural for us to be interested and suspicious at the same time.

“It’s okay not to worry about your skills, right?”

What Lucas said had various meanings.

Of course, he doubted our skills.

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

After two days, I’ll probably change my mind anyway.

***

“Seohyun. Is that person from earlier going to be with us? ?”

Celica asked me a question with her anxious voice.

Are you talking about Lucas? While Celica was talking about him, she had a subtle expression on her face.

“Yes. He only intends to accompany us on reconnaissance missions.”

The corner of her mouth went down at my words.

Even Celica, who always gave only favorable eyes, was wary of Lucas.

“He definitely seemed like a person with skills. But…”

“Did something odd happen?”

“Oh, no. It’s nothing…”

Celica did not carelessly gossip about people. Of course, she couldn’t gossip about strangers.

But now the mood is different.

It was the same in the first playthrough. After Celica first met Lucas, she cautiously warned the protagonist.

Perhaps Celica will tell me in a little while.

Although Kayla was quiet with her mouth shut, she was watching me with her worried eyes.

She also knew her true identity to Lucas. It was thanks to my word of mouth beforehand.

As a result, not a single one of us was kind to Lucas.

In particular, Erina was literally bursting with anger.

“Seohyun. Please don’t talk to that person again.”

“No matter how hard you try, you can’t help but have a conversation.”

“Can’t we just go to the forest by ourselves? Leave that guy alone.”

Now they were openly hostile.

Of course, Erina was right. Who would be with a colleague who would betray her.

But I wasn’t thinking about joining him either.

Betrayal. For the main character, it was an event that must be avoided.

However, the story is different if you use the event well.

As long as you know how Lucas betrays you. If you use the situation appropriately.

‘Maybe I can make contact with the elves.’

In the end, we had to meet the elves and save them. But now, unlike the first round, there was no contact with the elves.

Looking back on the memories of the first playthrough, there was no contact between the Adventurers League and the Elves at all.

At this rate, there was a high possibility that he would return to the capital after only doing reconnaissance missions.

Unless he joined the knights and joined the elves as reinforcements, he had to find another way.

So I decided to use Lucas to create a bond with the elves.
