Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 227

A proper rest deserves to be called sweet enough.

The sound sleep I had in the hostel for the first time in about a week completely matched it, and thanks to that, I was able to get out of bed enjoying a clear mind and a refreshed body. The cold dawn air and the dark outside the window seemed to tell me that morning was still far away, but my internal clock told me that the morning sun would soon come.

Talk about being hungry.

“It’s a strong and strong morning suitable for washing.”

Turning her head and looking at the bed next to her, Asilie was still sleeping peacefully with the blanket wrapped around her, as if she was still tired. Taking the tent and blanket out of my suitcase as carefully as possible so as not to wake her up, I headed for the well at the back of the inn.

No matter how good your travel gear is, if you don’t take care of it properly, it will go bad. I carefully descended the stairs, thinking of finishing washing the tent and blanket before breakfast.

It takes a year for both of them to dry, so it’s better to wash them first than clothes, even if it’s a little uncomfortable. To put it mildly, even if you wash your clothes a little late, they dry out if you dry them roughly in the room. Washing would be much quicker and easier with the help of the spirits, but it felt more comfortable to do it myself when the conditions were right now.

If I don’t help later when I really need help, I’m the only one who suffers.

“Huh? You woke up early Mr. Ega?”

When I arrived at the well, I was greeted by Rellie and Ekatrina, who, like me, were carrying handfuls of tents and blankets and were just putting them down.

“Good morning Lelie, Ekatrina. You two are up early too.”

“If you don’t get up early, there are many times when you can’t wash your clothes in time because you’re pushed by other adventurers. That’s why I did it like a habit, but after waking up, I remembered what the city was like.”

Moving according to our habits, we must have forgotten that we are the only adventurers with dirty travel equipment in this city. Unlike Rellie, who seemed to have already woken up, Ekatrina, who couldn’t even open her eyes properly, grumbled as she collapsed on the blanket thrown on the floor.

“Thanks to that, even I was dragged out. Let’s take it easy…”

“I thought I’d take care of it?”

“If you carried it alone and moved it, you would have rolled down the stairs. Or you would have dragged it down the stairs.”

Come to think of it, Rellie was particularly vulnerable to physical activity. Sometimes, if I handed that lady a can of Coke, I would think that she wouldn’t be able to open the lid. Even now, he scoops up a gourd of water and carries it, but seeing as he is doing his best, it seems to have a lot of potential.

“Will you get up before the water pours out?”

“Hates lies and hates the truth. A wizard anyway.”

There was a small happening, such as Rellie trying to pour water on me with an angry face because I applauded without realizing it because I sincerely admired the low-key murder that Ekatrina, the warrior of civilization, said, but in the end, I was able to finish the laundry without incident. .

By the time I finished the process of weaving the wet tent and blanket with Ekatrina and carrying them up to the room to dry on the drying rack, Ashley also woke up from sleep, probably because of my busy movements, and started yawning with half-closed eyes. did.

“Did you finish washing already? You must have woken up early?”

“I happened to meet Rellie and Ekatrina and help each other to sort things out quickly.”

I opened the window to ventilate the room and spent some time helping Asilier stretch, and at some point the delicious scent of soup began to vibrate. I don’t know how many adventurers there would be on the move from early morning, but we wanted to have a meal as leisurely as possible, so we headed to the first floor hall without hesitation.

When we settled down in the hall and ordered breakfast, the party started coming down one by one, even though we didn’t have a specific appointment, and eventually everyone sat around the table and waited for the food.

“Certainly, it’s amazing to have more than 10 people.”

Gaendal, who was still choked up, said one word that everyone could relate to. Even when camping outside, there are only a handful of cases where we are gathered like this, so it was hard to feel it, but sitting around a table for a meal is reassuring. It was clear that no matter who came, seeing this party, they would rather try to avoid it than start a fight.

“By the way. It feels more like that because everyone in the party is sincere without exception.”

“Cheolkeol. That’s right. It’s not very common for cases like this to happen.”

In the meantime, a smile is naturally formed at the harmonious conversation that comes and goes. It’s only that I can’t use the page, but Sen and the others are skillfully continuing the conversation, and Seneran and Rellie are also talking about this and that.

What an ideal adventurer’s party. The scene that seemed like a picture made me feel like something good would happen today.

As I was thinking that maybe this is the source of the confidence that thieves can go out without knowing the fear of the world, the door of the inn suddenly opened.

“Eh, Eldmia! Adventurer Eldmia Ega-sama! Are you there!”

“…Mr. Kunzu?”

When I turned my head, Kunz, who must have been blown by the cold winter wind, was standing there, gasping for breath, drenched in sweat.

“Eh, Eldmia-sama!”

His never-so-good expression and swaying pupils let me know that the thoughts I had just a moment ago were futile.

“No, they raided the guild and looted the goods!”

Then, out of Kunz’s mouth, which was open, the news came out that shattered my good mood at once.

◈

“I really have no face. I can’t believe that even the adventurers I hired as guards will be handed over to them…”

Unlike Kunz, who apologized with a lost expression on his face even though he hadn’t done anything wrong, the other guild members just said, ‘You’re fucked.’ He greeted us with a confused expression.

The stable that he entered under his guidance was miserable. The other horses disappeared, and the warhorses of the Ogatorf family that Asili and I rode were lying on the ground as cold corpses.

The loot, which must have been loaded onto the horse, was completely robbed.

“Does this make sense right now?!

Sen was literally rampaging like my spokesperson for rage. But this time, neither Carls nor Baijie, the best silent performer in the party, did not stop her. Rather, Merdella was in a situation where the road was rampaging along with her, and because Rellie also joined in, the stable was making ears hurt with the trio created by the three women.

“Hey, by the time the shift guard in charge of the night came, the incident had already taken place. There were traces of the other horses being taken away, but those horses were resisting too much…” Me

? I was more excited than angry.

I was stunned once because the implications of this situation were so blatant, and I was stunned once more that Kunz was the only one who showed a sign of genuine apology here.

Did you really think you would believe that these cubs stranded in the city, with no escape routes, tried to loot small items that weren’t even food? If I hadn’t known how the situation was going from the conversation I had yesterday, I would have checked it with dubious doubt, but now the story is different.

In this situation, the guild leader was the first to appear. Even so, not even showing his back is either aiming for a dramatic appearance that is good to take advantage of this situation or not knowing the law.

Of course the latter cannot exist. From the looks of it, I’m sure he’s conceiving a plan to poke a hole in my purse to get me to accept a request I’ve refused, and then pass on the request as an excuse for a reward.

I raised my hand to calm them down and spoke briefly.

“Enough. Call the guild leader.”

Then, until now, a female receptionist who had only stood still when Kunz was eagerly apologizing, interrupted Kunz who was trying to say something to me and walked forward.

“Excuse me, Adventurer. It’s very unfortunate that this situation has occurred, but the guild leader is currently…

”

I don’t know if he has a higher rank than Kunz, but there was no reason to allow him to try to stop me from exercising my legitimate rights. However, the other person dared to open his mouth, even stiffening his expression, despite my kind warning.

“Violence in the city…”

I didn’t even listen to that because it didn’t really need to be heard. Instead, I just put the earlobes on with my palms.

– Aww!!

“Keheuk?!”

The receptionist’s head turned and blood and teeth splattered at the blow that was powerful enough even without mana use.

“What is this!”

“Guards! Guards…!”

-Peeeeeeee!

Seeing the receptionist rolling on the floor, the other receptionists opened their eyes and tried to leave, but whistled to stop them by moving their hands. Still, common sense exists, but at a glance, what looked like a weapon moved arbitrarily and aimed at them, and all of them stopped moving and started rolling their eyes.

“Do the damn things. Do you look like an asshole for a blue-collar adventurer?”

The sight was so absurd that it seemed like I was full of energy, but it seemed that not only them but also the others were surprised by my sudden action.

“In the event of unexpected damage or loss to the cargo and means of transportation specified to be protected through due process within the adventurer’s guild, negotiations for compensation and payment related to this shall be verbally explained by the guild leader and within his or her authority. Guild losses resulting from non-fulfillment are not legally recognized under the unanimous consent of the Kingdom Federation Council.”

Before any misunderstandings arose, exclamations flowed from the back as I spoke of the adventurer protection method that I had memorized. Even though they don’t live only on dreams and romance, adventurers have no interest in the law. When I saw that even Gaendal and Gin were admiring it, I said it all.

Even at least it provides minimal protection, so there aren’t many provisions, so I don’t know why they don’t read it. How to deal with this case.

“Speak again. Call the guild leader.”

Of course not me.

I don’t know what kind of guts the guild leader had to do such a thing, but he will pay for today’s spoils as well as for eating two Ogatorv family warhorses worth thirty Itsel gold coins each.
