Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 175
The Ogathorpe Mansion, which had gone through a lot in a short period of time recently, maintained its usual calm for the first time in a while.
Although Eldmia committed one of the largest incidents in the history of the kingdom, the fact that it had already been negotiated with the royal family in an amicable manner was an open secret, so no one was worried about the aftermath of it, and all of it proved the innocence of the Margrave of Levien. At the same time, after it was known that it was a process of punishing traitors, an atmosphere of pride was swirling around.
That’s why the servants of the mansion often talked about Eldmia, which was a hot topic these days. There was nothing significant about the content. Most of the time, the direction was just being set in the form of a grand welcome upon return.
However, as soon as a girl visited, the relaxed atmosphere began to change.
“Is this the home of Sir Ekaf Tsshin Ogatorf?”
The gatekeepers did not react immediately. It wasn’t because I didn’t know who the opponent was, but because I knew so well that the accident stopped. In the first place, it was not very common to be a tiny little girl with shining white hair wearing a purple dress and wearing gold.
Esmue Vistem Tell Noir. The shining white star of the Empire.
While shining from afar, I feel like an infinitely lofty existence, and I’m calm because I’ve never been
in contact with a kite for the rest of my life…
…From the moment it appeared in the mansion, it became an existence that was no different from a malevolent star.
◈
A simple meal and a chat were more vital than I thought.
Of course, I ate simply, but the amount of food for the rest of the party, except for Rellie, could not be called ‘simple’ even in empty words.
It was only after enjoying a hearty meal to my heart’s content that I hadn’t experienced while confined to such a detention center, that I returned to the friendly Ogathorp Mansion.
“It’s not that sweet.”
Even the guards jumped out as soon as they found me and greeted me
…
…wasn’t it?
Everyone knows what I’ve been doing and where I’ve been, but I’m grateful that they treat me with an unchanging attitude, but the reaction to this is something very different from what I expected.
“What do you mean? Of course I was held in temporary detention.”
“I’m not asking that! You said you came out in the morning! Why are you here now!”
“How did you know that again? It’s annoying to see something that has already come out twice, so I’m on my way to see some errands.”
Even if I knew it, I wonder if there is anything that would react so violently. It’s not easy to guess why you treat a kid who came back so late, like a parent who sees you while you already know everything?
“The princess of the empire came from the morning and is looking for you!”
“Oh.”
If that’s the reason, I’ll admit it.
After grasping the situation, I quickly apologized to the guards and rushed into the mansion.
“Find the lady first! The head of the family hasn’t returned from the castle yet, so she’s responding instead!”
Rather than answering, I just waved my hand because I thought it was good for their mental health to just run and give.
“It seems like work is over, but why are you busy?”
Just as I hurriedly ran, the servants had already completed their assessment of the situation, and I knocked on the door to the office, as told by the servants.
-What’s going on?-
Hmm… I think it’s right to treat her as her exclusive butler, Eldmia.
“This is Eldmia.”
-…Come in.-
I felt a subtle gap, but I wonder if he let out a sigh of relief.
For a moment, I was very curious about how he would react if I didn’t go in, but I thought of Esmuer, who had been there since morning, so I just went in.
“At this point, detention might have been better. Where the hell did you go around like that?”
Except for Esmuier, who calmly manages his expression as if he recalled the fact that he had been waiting for almost half a day after he had become brightly colored, and Cheryl, who looks relieved with her pupils shaking without even a chance to see Esmuer’s change, After seeing the empty office, I begin to guess what Cheryl’s heartache must have been.
Looking at their facial expressions, it is a world where the position of the guest and host is reversed. She was so nervous that she looked like a cat with a flower on her head, so she almost burst into laughter.
“I’m back a little late to thank those who have been indebted to me.”
“Hmm. Is it related to what you committed this time?”
“You can do that.”
Esmuer, who emptied his teacup with a sullen expression, stared at Cheryl for a moment, then naturally moved his gaze to me and continued.
“First of all, since you are indebted to me, I stopped by to say hello and briefly talked about the conversations in the royal family. .Should your ‘master’ be with you?”
After a long time, one thousand and one little Eldmia ran amok inside the skull, and in an instant produced an excuse suitable for the situation.
“No. There is no such restriction as it is an employment by my own will.”
Now I can be really confident. That my eyes are blooming. If I had answered that we should be together right now, I would have opened my eyes.
“……”
But Cheryl, why do you open the ax eye…?
“…Then I’ll step aside. If you need anything, feel free to tell me.”
“Thank you for caring even though it was a sudden visit. I will repay you soon.”
Cheryl, who gave a disgruntled look for a moment, bowed politely, then left the visit with a puzzled expression from an angle where Esmuer could not be seen.
And then Esmuer jumped up from his seat terribly, quickly approached me with quick steps and punched me in the stomach with a dainty fist.
“I visited you triumphantly and boasted that you would come soon, but what are you going to do when you come now!”
It was Esmuet, who had not yet raised his voice and grumbled like a whisper.
“It felt like my face was getting hot every hour after hour!”
“Ah, if I knew, of course I would have come right away. None of the people involved in the detention center came, so I thought I just quietly released them from the castle.”
Esmuer, who had thrown off the mask of composure, who must have been quite shy, instantly heated up.
understanding goes. I would want to die of shame if I said, ‘I’ll be back soon!’
“Did Ragnis and Asillie meet?”
“They said that because the trial ended yesterday, Ragnis is now going to his house to deal with the aftermath. I heard that Asili also followed him to lend a hand, so he won’t be in the mansion now.”
“this.”
Bad timing. Still, if you knew I was coming out today, you might have wasted your time waiting while you were busy, so this is fortunate in its own way.
“Well, that’s it. Tell me what you just said. Is there anything I should know about the Empire’s policy?”
“That was an excuse for just wanting to be alone. The policy is already set, so you just have to respond to the call at the right time.”
I feel like my skin tickles because of the constant expression of affection.
At first, I thought Esmuer was a gold digger… In fact, I think I’m a bit too easy-going. wouldn’t it?
“But apart from that, there was something I wanted to propose to you.”
“proposal?”
“Wouldn’t you like to learn properly at the academy?”
Another unexpected suggestion.
“Of course I know your purpose, but isn’t the reason why you didn’t go to the front right away because you think you’re not ready yet?”
“Umm. That’s right…”
Even if you learn at the academy, it won’t help much if there’s no one who can handle magical powers there.
Just as a child can break even a rock just by awakening the aura, the key to the strength after that is how many more auras can be used efficiently.
It is true that basic physical abilities and combat skills are important, but if you assume that strength increases by 10 for each level of Aura, the growth of such general training and skills is similar to increasing strength by 2 per level. Of course, when it reaches a certain level, it can be seen that it creates synergies beyond bonus stats and jumps around, but…
I don’t have that kind of talent.
It’s just that I invested more time than others through thoroughly systematic efforts and acquired strength a little faster. Certainly talented people will stand out and bloom in such education, but I am not.
I have no choice but to make the most of what I have and see the game with sincerity.
“I don’t get much benefit from what I learn at the academy, Esmuer.”
“Um, I fully understand that you already realize a lot…” ”
No, it’s not like that. I’m aura but I don’t use mana. Most of the professors’ teachings I can’t apply.”
“… Huh? What are you talking about?”
Still, I don’t worry about what kind of bullshit Esmuer’s expression is, but it’s a genuinely curious expression, so my heart is a little lighter.
“I use magic.”
“…Yes?”
“You can use magic like demons. Asili already knows.”
“…Uh huh?”
“It’ll be a little quicker to see.”
As I said that, I moved my magic and pulled out the sword I was wearing around my waist without touching it.
Esmuer, who is also gifted with magic, understood the situation unfolding in front of him at once and opened his eyes wide.
“Hyak?!”
Then, jumping like a cat responding to a suddenly tossed cucumber, it slammed itself against the back of the sofa.
I feel very sorry for Esmuier, who was shocked as if he had seen a ghost, but the figure was cute and funny.
