Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 18
It’s been a while since my back bone was craving after hearing Asilie’s curse, and my brain stopped.
Ragnis, whom I thought was just a rural nobleman, was actually a great nobleman?
“I thought you were a country noble.”
“…I thought you would know.”
Rather, rather puzzled by my answer, Ragnis spoke. Seeing that, it must have been a famous aristocrat and a famous case that was strangely unknown.
“I’m so shocked right now that my heart is racing.”
“Puff. What is that?”
“No, it’s nothing to laugh about? Do you want to touch it?”
“That, that, that’s not what I’m talking about!”
No, my delicate heart is beating backwards, but why is he showing his face? Anyway, it feels like the difficulty has suddenly risen significantly. I brought in and reviewed the elements that I thought I didn’t need to worry about until now, and carefully looked up at the most serious problem.
“Is there a dragon knight in the aristocratic faction?”
“…mmm.”
Realizing at once what I was worried about, Ragnis’ face hardened and he went into trouble.
There are two people who have to ride a lot of flying dragons. I left everything else, so there is no more space to ride. If so, wouldn’t there be no choice but to hire a person who can fight and control a flying dragon in case of emergency?
In the world, such a person is called a dragon knight. Of course, he is a knight who rides a flying dragon instead of a horse, and is a professional group that is no different from a war weapon specializing in magic and aura to take advantage in the air rather than a lance. As Asilie said in the past, it is difficult to achieve both perfectly, so it cannot be said that the skill is really outstanding, but it is just a story between knights.
If I fight them right now, I will definitely lose.
“…No. No. There’s a story I heard from my father a long time ago. Most of the flying dragon knights were directly subordinate to the royal family. Because of their symbolism, all but one or two people who were forcibly selected from the aristocratic faction and used for external activities must be of the king’s family. I don’t think anyone can use it lightly enough to move around.”
“Isn’t it possible to secretly grow it internally?”
“Unless the king’s permission is granted, no one who has mastered the art of piloting a dragon can learn any combat art. If not, three generations will be slain for treason.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yes. Really.”
It was quite a bloody law, but I sighed in great relief at Ragnis’ conviction. In any case, it is very helpful for us right now.
“If the flying dragon knight was the opponent, I wouldn’t have really come to know what to do.
“…There’s no answer other than running away, right?”
“Unless they’re stronger than the Demon King’s Commander, that can’t be the case.”
In the first place, if I run alone, it’s a violation of faith, and if we run together, we’ll be caught. I patted Ragnis on the shoulder and said.
“Is there any other ending besides being caught in the yard with the flying dragon? It’s better to poke it while praying for vigilance. Anyway, that’s the worst, so it’s okay.”
“…lol.”
“What are you messing about about?
Even if they really dragged the drake, the risk was greatly reduced just because it was a non-combat agent to pilot the drake, unless it was a large drake. Deciding to be relieved of that fact for now, we continued our steps.

It was exactly two days later that I encountered combat power meters that had been replenished.
“Hey, I heard that our friends owe you money.”
All of these men, all of whom looked fierce, appeared in the area near the adventurer’s guild. It was an area not too far from where I had hit the two last time.
At first, I thought it was unexpected, but when I thought about it, I was convinced because it smelled like a production that seemed to have been waiting for us with lights on for revenge. Eight people who are expected to be adventurers. There are more of them than I thought, and the feeling is different from the first two.
But I still don’t feel strong. I don’t think I’ll be equipped with proper skills unless I’m given this kind of job in the first place. In the end, the recruitment criteria must have been stronger than those of the neighborhood thugs.
“Oh, that’s right. Take good care of your friends from now on. Enough then!”
“Eww?!”
I ran into the alley next to it, holding Ragnis in my arms.
“Me, me! Fuck that! Get that bastard!”
can you catch Still, there is a jjambab that has lived back and forth between home and Ogwen. Even if you follow only the route that is drawn in your head right now, you won’t even have to run with Ragnis from the middle. While running like that, Ragnis, who just needed to be hugged, came to his senses belatedly.
“Oh, you were surprised!”
“Are you just this surprised, Marquis Marquis? Right now I have to hold onto you and run, so hold on tight. I’ll explain later.”
Compared to what I was surprised about, I won’t be included in the axis of being surprised. Well, it’s because I didn’t ask in detail and guessed, so I’m not going to say anything to Ragnis.
The chase was more relentless than I thought, but after running all over the winding road and riding on the roofs of several houses, I felt like giving up. Only then did Ragnis, who had some time to spare, asked a question while barely catching his breath.
“Were those people strong?”
“very?”
“Then why did you run away?”
“I was wondering how many times I had to repeat this to come back to the inn.”
It looked like he didn’t understand, so he sat down for a while and decided to explain. It’s getting dark, so if you pass the time, they’ll set a course for the day and take other actions.
I just hope that it won’t be a disappointing result of waiting in front of an inn today.
“I’m speaking confidently because I’m still moving within the range I’ve assumed, but I think the guys just now are more like lab rats I threw in to find out who I am and what my skills are like. I’ll knock you down…but if you do that, the level of vigilance will rise.”
“Is that why you didn’t use an aura?”
“Uh. Right… Huh? How do you know that?”
“You used it to kill the captain in the past.”
be the boss I know you’re talking about the guy who suddenly killed Ashley for revealing his ambition to touch Asilie three years ago…
How did he realize that Ashlie didn’t feel like an aura, but like a buff? When he couldn’t even manage his expression and was dumbfounded, he opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.
“I know because I saw the Knights of the Territory sparring with Auras. I’ve seen a lot of moves that couldn’t be followed without Auras. At that time, that wasn’t the speed possible without Auras.”
no? Looking at him tilting his head, it seems that he did not realize it because he felt something, but based on the movement he remembered purely, he made a guess between the possible and the impossible. It was as if the thief had numb my feet for no reason, but since I had already reacted without knowing it, I couldn’t say no, so I roughly nodded my head.
“Uh. That’s right. I thought you were feeling the aura again.”
“Well… you can’t wake just anyone like that. You won’t understand.”
Actually, I didn’t realize it either, but I just pretended to be a genius. Anyway, we should get back to the main topic.
“Anyway, time is on our side. The fact that they sent such guys even after two days has passed is proof that the other party is extremely prudent. It must be frantic. Six days have already passed, so now there are nine days left? You would be very nervous if you just ran away like this without fighting openly? I want to do it like this for three days, but I don’t know how it will turn out.”
It’s best not to fight and end it. The moment you fight, unpredictable variables happen. Of course, since the incident is an incident, that would be impossible, but you can do what you want, right?
“…I thought you were acting randomly, but you think a lot before moving?”
The sincerity in his eyes was so disgusting, so he fed me honey chestnuts.
When it was evening and I returned to the inn through the darkened streets, a very disappointing result awaited me.
“Are you going to run away again?”
Apparently, they were the result of exhausting the pursuer’s prudence and patience.
Somehow, I thought I’d give up rather quickly, but all of them were in front of Alicia’s inn. Not just there, but clearly blocking the entrance.
“It’s good because I feel like I’m running out of time… Did you guys touch our Ms. Alicia or the other kids inside?”
“Huh. If you guys run away again, I’ll touch you.”
“Eld Mia Ah !! This fucked cubs are removed from the store !!”
Did you lock the door? Looking at it, there seems to be no problem, so my heart is at ease. Even though the guy who was leaning against the door banged on the wall at that cry and tried to threaten him, Mrs. Alicia only reciprocated with constant curses.
“Can you really handle it? When it gets noisy, it takes only a second for security to come?”
In fact, even as I was speaking, I was noticing. Sure enough, they answer my question with a laugh.
There’s no way they were waiting for our timing. From the moment he missed us, he must have gone to his employer, explained the situation, and waited at the inn. I know that the night patrol team starts running after 6 o’clock, but the surroundings don’t even pretend to be properly popular.
It is to the point of collapse at the reality that the city patrol has been bribed without any worries. Well, come to think of it, that’s also the idea of rich people.
“It’s none of your business. Actually, we have business with your girlfriend.”
“I know, you bastard.”
“So… what?”
“I know. It looks like that, don’t you know?”
It’s not all that bad.
I can see that they don’t have the time, they have the money, they don’t have ties to the city, and they’re so caught off guard that they believe they’ll be able to take Ragnis after they either knock me out or get me on the run. Are you watching somewhere nearby? Is it inside the building? If the hypothesis of escaping on a flying dragon is correct, he might have already left the city and waited outside without giving instructions.
That’s a problem to figure out from now on, so I decided not to worry too much.
“My name is Eldmia Ega.”
He drew his sword and greeted him for instilling faith. Perhaps they expected that I would pull out the sword, but the ridicule remains the same. The guys confidently began to draw their weapons one by one.

“First of all, since we’ve offended Ms. Alicia, let’s all get along and start training with a knife in the thigh.”
