Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 205

The road to Ragnis’ mansion was by no means a long one, but in the meantime, Seneran really took my soul away with his chatter.

“Is it true that the Marquis of Levien beheaded 50 people for being insulted in the temporary detention center?”

“Is it true that you cut down 300 people in Count Envelde’s mansion and even killed the Count in one blow?”

“Is it true that you dealt with the young lion of Rudra and his 20 subordinates at once who disrespected the Margrave of Levien at the Imperial Academy?”

“Is it true that you fought for two days and nights with a dragon and reached a decision?”

The problem is that the contents are all a bit tasteless, so I couldn’t bear to just pass it over and had to correct it one by one. How come there are no true rumors? He grumbled about that part in the middle of his confusion, but Seneran didn’t quite sympathize with him.

“But I think this is good enough? There was a rumor that you were over 2 meters tall and wielded a greatsword the size of yourself.”

“…I have nothing to say.”

Eventually, exhausted from correcting all the false rumors, I arrived at Ragnis’ house and saw Asilie and the rest outside the front door talking to Lenisa. It was a very strange look. Without Ragnis, I had to stay as it was, and if Ragnis was there, I had to wait inside the mansion.

Fortunately, my doubts were quickly cleared.

“Ah, Lord Eldmia. It’s been a while. Did you have a good trip back home?”

“It’s been a while, Lord Renissa. I got caught up in a bit of an incident, but I got home safely. How did you know?”

“I found out about it in the process of sending a message to the House of Ogatorpe by order of the Marquis.

Lenisa explained that after the Envelde incident, busy days were continuing again. The main factor is Sir Radnell Vandes’ class, but if he hadn’t met Seneran, he would have been able to prepare the engraving contract only after dealing with the cultists.

“I told you to excuse me in front of me so as not to cross paths with Eldy, but you said you can only have guests and be my companion.”

Originally, it was intended to be taken into the house until I arrived, but it seems that it did not happen because Asilie stubbornly refused. I could have just ignored it and went in, but to think they cared that much. He is truly a man of great character.

“If you don’t mind, let’s talk to the Marquis? He’ll probably make time as soon as training ends.”

“No, I was just trying to get help, but it’s okay because I’ve come up with another way. We’ll see you next time.”

After parting ways, Sen, who had only been diligently rolling her eyes for so long, looked back at Renisa, who had been disappearing into the mansion, and belatedly asked a question.

“Oh my God. Eldmia-sama? What kind of life are you living? Where are you really a noble?”

“I’m just living hard. Hey, Merdella. He’s the one who will imprint on you.”

“Yes? Huh? Then why is the Margrave’s Mansion…”

“This person also just lived hard, so it’s a connection I got by chance today. Seneran. You can engrave a seal on him.”

This time, even Asillie had no choice but to look at Seneran with the same gaze as the others. However, the silence to understand the situation was not long. Merdela, who was looking at me and Seneran in dissonance, slowly opened her mouth.

“What is Sene…? What is the golden wizard Sene?”

“Hi. That’s me.”

With that one word, not only the other guys, but even the bastard cultist who had been riding on the horse like a burden until now began to cause pupil earthquakes.

◈

It’s subtle to say that it’s an unscratched lottery ticket, and the word unscratched lottery fits the bill, and I didn’t intend to stay at the Ogatorf Mansion with the Sen and others, so I moved to the inn where Mr. Gaendal and his party were staying and took a room first. .

It was a decision that came out of the expectation that if you are lucky, you will meet anyone, including Mr. Gaendal. Since they are one of the few adventurers who want to keep a good relationship with each other, if the opportunity arises, they want to invite them to accompany them on this quest and share some beans. Unfortunately, we couldn’t meet right away, but the owner of the inn said they were renting for a long time, so there seemed to be still a chance.

It wasn’t until after I ordered a meal that I hadn’t finished yet, that the conversation started in earnest.

“This is a slave contract. Did you even aim for your life?”

“……”

“What is it? Really? You’re more like an interpersonal volleyball than I thought? Can you make use of that?”

Seneran, who was quite surprised to see Merdella, who had fallen down in an instant, looked at me as if he was stunned. Of course, I didn’t intend to be remembered as a hu-gu by the name of a great man, so I pointed at Sen with my chin and corrected Seneran’s misunderstanding.

“He wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t hung the family crest.”

“Hey, really? Did you do that? It’s amazing? That’s enough to say that you’ve lived a pretty hard life. Well, you make mistakes as you go through life, don’t you?”

Seneran doesn’t care about continuing the conversation, but after getting the point right, he doesn’t think it’s a big deal and speaks lightly. However, rather than treating it as a trivial task because it is someone else’s job, it felt closer to accepting it as just one of the many things that really flowed, which made me feel very mysterious.

Could this person be really old? Is there something unusual about your mindset?

Well, no matter how much you say that you’re doing my favor for the purpose of maintaining a cooperative relationship in the future, there’s no need to hate me by mentioning your age. I decided to focus on the first experience in my life.

“Yeah. Checking done.”

Seneran, who eagerly checked the contents of the contract written on the parchment and moved his finger in the air, nodded lightly and handed the parchment to Merdela.

“Then shall we do it? You said Merdella? Read it.”

“Hey, are you reading?”

“Yeah. You don’t have to read it out loud. Your consciousness just needs to be aware of it.”

I don’t know what to say, but Merdella, the person involved, began to read the parchment in a low voice as if she understood the explanation.

And in line with that, where Seneran swung his finger in the air, something like a magic circle rose and began to glow in a soft blue light.

“oh.”

When I looked at it using the Magic City, I could see that the mana flowing from Seneran’s fingertips was supplied to the magic circle like fuel. However, without realizing it for a while, I began to cut off my own mana little by little while refining mana from the magic in my body.

Through that process, the mana flowing from the magic circle flows into Merdella. To be precise, it flowed into her left wrist and left a mark like a tattoo.

It was a very strange sight. Not only for me who can see the flow of magical power, but also for those who can’t. The series of processes continued until Merdela finished reading the parchment, and as soon as she put the parchment down, the magic circle disappeared and ended.

Seneran was the first to speak.

“The contract was neat, but the restrictions on breaking the conditions would never be neat, so it would be better to keep the contract and memorize it while carrying around. Wouldn’t it be unfair if you died by mistake?”

“Are there many cases like that?”

“You would be surprised to know how many academic papers are published on the topic of incidents and accidents caused by engraving contracts. These conditions tended to be in the form of a contract, although they were not very important to me.”

Seneran said, shaking off his hands and turning his mad eyes to me again.

“Now. Shall we proceed with our contract?”

“…Didn’t I tell you while I was coming here? It’s time to kill all the cultists.”

“Did I hear you right? I’m including that. I’ll follow you.”

“yes?”

He is a truly unstoppable human being. I wondered what the hell she was talking about, but surprisingly, the argument that came out of her mouth was valid.

“Because you are confident, you are going to charge into the base of the cultist group, but there are always variables, right? Wouldn’t it be a very reasonable decision to increase the possibility of safe survival by adding to the trip?”

“…What if you die too due to that extreme variable?”

“I’d rather die than have my research possibilities blocked.”

Madness. It was truly madness. Unknowingly, I trembled and clung to Asillie.

Asilie was already aware of how the situation was going and tended to remain silent, but Sen and the rest looked at me with expressions that seemed completely incomprehensible and implicitly demanded an explanation.

Of course, there was no explanation for the lottery tickets that had not yet been scratched.

After concluding the conversation by accepting Seneran’s argument, I sent a unilateral notice telling them not to worry.

Still, from now on, you will be involved in my request, so I was about to start the meal, saying that I would give you a little bit of the cost of meals and lodging, as well as some of the remuneration given by the Holy Light Cross.

“Huh? It’s Eldmia, right?”

Gaendal, Gin, and Rellie appeared behind Ekatrina, who always called me with a pleasant voice.
