Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 21

To have a headache.

The only thing I felt was confusion in the slight dizziness and the strong wind that was raging for some reason.

Apparently… after Eldmia left saying that she was finishing things up. I remember thinking about what to do with my aunt and the bloodstains in front of the inn while waiting for Jin to call the guards.

Later, when Eldmia came back, she briefly turned her head toward her aunt who was entering, saying that she would give her a warm cup of tea.

And the memory was lost.

“You seem to have come to your senses. Miss Rien.”

The body is bound like a piece of luggage. I noticed later that I was wearing a hood. It is probably because it can be cold while flying. It was definitely very windy, but it wasn’t cold.

So I organized my thoughts while looking at the dizzying panoramic view unfolding below while being held in the arms of a person whose identity I could not identify with just his voice.

“It must have been a flying dragon.”

“Did the young lady and her unknown friend guess together? It seems like a clever decision.”

The owner of the voice was a young man, but he had no memory of it. Maybe it’s because it’s been so long that I’ve forgotten about it, but I didn’t know that it didn’t come to mind right away.

I bit my lips involuntarily, feeling that the calming voice was like disproving that he had anticipated all the actions he and Eldmia had taken.

“Was it a bucket?”

“That’s right. Actually, rather than thinking about that friend, I was thinking of interfering with the King’s Faction. It was a painful expense to save two dragons and use the dragon pilot in my hand… but it was worthwhile to succeed like this.” I think.”

“The dragon knight’s participation in such a filthy abduction is rewarding, the aristocracy’s honor is rolling in the gutter. Isn’t it time to fly away like this and dig through the city’s sewers? One or two years would not be enough to get it back.”

“Hmm. It’s a novel and sharp expression. Survival in a harsh environment for three years must have been daunting, but didn’t you neglect your studies? Because.”

For a moment, he thought it was an insult to his parents, but Ragnis could see that the man’s attitude was sincere. In fact, when facing his opponents, the three-inch tongue of his father, Engrin Lien da Levien, was like a spear.

Seeing that he knew it properly, he must have seen it at least once… but he couldn’t figure it out at all.

“And I’m not a flying dragon knight. It’s also true that I’m relieved that you don’t remember me well, but it’s also true that I’m sorry.”

“It’s treason! I’m not even a flying dragon knight, but I drove a flying dragon and learned swordsmanship!”

“Well, it’s fine if you don’t get caught.”

Ragnis felt goosebumps at the reaction, which seemed to be taken for granted. How could you do something that amounts to treason so casually?

“Maybe it’s because you don’t know the dark side of the nobles yet, but unexpectedly, there are quite a few people who secretly learn the art of ascending dragons when they get out of the capital. Most of them, but there are also some that are not included in most of them.”

“…What happened to Eldmia?”

When we abruptly cut off the conversation and changed the subject, the man was silent for a moment.

“I see. I couldn’t hear what you were saying because I was looking at it from a distance, but Eldmia. You said to go to Eldmia. He must have died.”

It felt like his heart was sinking, but he didn’t care about his own feelings, and the man continued talking calmly, naturally, and calmly.

“Even if I set the bait, I need to set the perfect bait to get it right. I have four friends who only have to pass the knight test to pilot the dragon. I would have died without lasting a few battles against them.”

A sob filled up in his throat. At the same time, my heart started beating in a different way.

‘A rootless fight?’

Eldmia, who has been using auras since she was at least 11 years old and learning skills from an elf who has lived for 120 years?

The man thought he was reading all of their numbers, but he was completely misjudging Eldmia’s skill.

‘Then the boundary must have risen sharply.’

The words Eldmia said on the roof of an unknown house passed through my mind along with goosebumps.

“Hmm? Are you crying?”

Recognizing the trembling Ragnis, the man lowered his neck as if in trouble.

“Sometimes the ladies said that they liked a man who was full of wild beauty… but that friend was more like a bully than wild beauty.

I couldn’t answer. Realizing that the man’s misunderstanding was the last move to reverse the whole situation, she chose to remain silent.

Ragnis was laughing.

◈

“So the human named Delta decided to drive the flying dragon?”

It had been several tens of minutes before I was even surprised by the flying dragon, which had a much better ride than expected.

I was sitting on top of a ferociously flying drake and holding the drake pilot’s waist.

“Yes, that’s right. If the adventurers succeed and, uh, if Eldmia-sama is defeated, I can take the lady and go, and even if they fail, Eldmia-sama will come to us with wrong information and kill us, no. .”

“You thought you were going to die? To those four people earlier?”

“…….”

“You didn’t do it, so what are you afraid of? Rather, if you don’t answer, you cut off your finger? When you return home, you want me to look at the traces of your finger and bring you back?”

“I’m sorry! You’re right! Delt was sure Eldmia-sama would die to them!”

“Are they that strong?”

They were people who couldn’t even write aura. Since he had such doubts, the flying dragon pilot who introduced himself as Gieth opened his mouth while tracing his memory.

“Well…I don’t know the specifics, but I remember Delt telling them that after this job is over, it’s okay to relax until the knight exam.”

“Are you saying that the level of general knight exams would have been able to pass without difficulty?”

“You are correct.”

It is also an unreasonable world. The difference between having and not having an aura is so great.

The general knight test of the kingdom is not conducted by marbles or land-crawling, but if there is such a difference, I have no idea how the power balance in this world is out of whack.

Still, it was clear that the guy who might be a flying dragon knight named Delt had completely misjudged my skills. That alone seems like a possibility.

“But why were you brought here? Aren’t flying dragon pilots high-class personnel?

“Wealth, because of your parents’ debt…”

No fucking god! The flying dragon pilot Gieth, whom I thought was a shameful bastard, turned out to be a rare filial son in this dog-like world!

After hearing, it was good that he became a pilot of a dragon after almost self-made efforts, but because of that, his parents, who were blinded by the sudden increase in their child’s salary, became overspending, and they said that they were sitting in a pile of debt without even realizing it. In the process, it was a heartbreaking story that the private loan business that lent money belonged to an aristocrat belonging to an aristocratic faction, so he helped this job in exchange for debt relief.

“No matter how much you think about it, you think you’ve been worked on?”

“Yes? Work?”

Geese asked back in a tone that he had no idea what that meant, so I kindly explained. In order to be determined and use one of the dragon pilots as a weakness. Hearing all the hypotheses that he approached over a long period of time and seemed to have erased the debt, he couldn’t contain his astonishment.

“Oh my God, is that even possible?! How could someone come up with such a wicked idea?!”

“Cheaters are everywhere. Wouldn’t it be very effective if you were the one who fucking knew your parents.”

At first, everything was annoying and I really wanted to cut off even one finger whenever I had a chance, but when I thought that he might be a victim too, that feeling disappeared.

“I really… I really don’t know. Even though I think that might not be true… Looking back, I don’t think there are one or two doubts.”

“… Hey! Don’t mind the fuck! Who am I going to rescue now? It’s the Marquis of Ragnis Lien da Levien. He is the heir who inherits all property and rights as long as he meets the King’s faction. You didn’t cooperate and he died biting his tongue. If not, let alone the chase, it’s over, so I’ll tell Ragnis that you actively helped.”

“Are you sure?”

“I lost my parents when I was young, so I’m ruthless towards unfilial children, but I’m a little weak towards filial children. I’ll try my best to get rid of the sins I had, so I’ll just say it right later. If I get swung around by dog-like nobles, at least one good thing should happen.”

“…Huh. Go, thank you.”

They are aristocratic bastards who I really don’t like from one to ten. They do it, but they cheat on the common people with private loans. Thanks to that, an unexpected relationship was formed, but it is shameful to be embarrassed.

Still, for now, Ragnis was the priority.

“By the way, we can catch up really well, right? If we lose in the end, I’ll be screwed too, and even though the immediate debt will disappear, there will be a future where you can be swayed again in the same way.”

“That, don’t worry about that. Eldmia moved much faster than Delt expected, so if it keeps flying like this, it’s literally only a matter of time before it catches up. Although it’s impossible right now, and it will take several hours to see it. .”

“You just need to be able to catch up.”

“But… even if I catch up, there’s nothing special, right?”

“I’m going to risk my life and do some shit.”

“Dog, are you dog?”

He was a human who could have been a flying dragon knight. The reason I’m glad I misjudged my skill is because I was able to buy a lot of time thanks to it, not because I believe I can beat him with it. No matter how hard I tried, there was only one way to defeat him in the air.

“Uh. I’m going to jump down from a higher place than him and cut off the dragon’s head.”

It’s crazy even if I think about it, but there is no real answer other than this.
