Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 236
I was surprised by Leica’s faster-than-expected movement, and the moment I was about to rush out, the speaker gave an unexpected order.
“Drop your weapon now!”
The thought that passed through my mind at the moment was ‘Is this bastard out of his mind and giving orders?’, but the talker corrected my misunderstanding by throwing his weapon to the ground.
If you have the will to actively engage in dialogue to this extent, responding is the right attitude of a civilized person.
“Leica. Hold on a second.”
The timing when he dropped his weapon was staggering. Because Laika was just about to bite off a mercenary’s shin, the immediate situation was not followed thanks to his bold decision.
As he consistently insisted on, the Leica listened well. Looking at the guy who stopped ‘for a moment’ with his mouth wide open to bite the mercenary’s shin, the talker shouted once more to the mercenaries who were wandering around.
“The client tricked us! Throw away your weapon!”
As soon as they heard that the client had betrayed them, the guys who flinched and couldn’t easily put down their weapons changed their eyes and put down their weapons without hesitation. Looking at the scene, the talkie sighed and looked at me with a very nervous face and asked.
“Can you stop for a second with this?”
“Passed. Leica, come back.”
Anyway, even if it’s a repair work, I have the ability to cope with it now. I wonder what he would say with the white flag up to that extent.
The needles that had been thrown at the archers were retrieved with a whistle, and when the Leica jumped up to me, it was only then that I let out a sigh of relief.
What followed was completely unexpected even for me.
“You asked if I wasn’t?”
“Yes. I asked if the target’s name was Eldmia, and that bastard…”
Surprisingly, one of the mercenary corps’ current policies is to withdraw if I’m involved. Hearing that it was a guideline created after the Enbelde mansion incident, and it was a condition that must be checked and passed, I felt like I was one step closer to achieving my long-cherished wish, and my heart was filled with excitement.
“Fuck, the adventurer’s guild leader is less than a pure dog…”
“Even though that bastard is like that.”
When I answered by inserting the kendo, the talker blocked my mouth and began to think seriously. When I see his eyes moving, he seems to be thinking a lot, but after throwing away his weapon, the mercenaries behind him just stand there as if they hadn’t thought of anything special, so I feel a sense of alienation.
Is there a clear distinction between those who think and those who act? It might be a much bigger mercenary group than I expected.
“Ha, oh my. I should have apologized, but I was so angry that I lost my mind. I’m really sorry, Mr. Eldmia. We’ve heard about the popularity in the capital, but I thought we’d see it here.”
“It seems like a very systematic mercenary group, but I have nothing to say because I’m not bright enough in the bottom information to build that side up.”
“Isn’t that what adventurers and mercenaries are all like?
“That’s right. So, are your thoughts organized?”
It didn’t seem necessary to remind him that it wasn’t completely over and that it was only a brief stop. The talker nodded and pointed behind him.
“Six of our children who just died in the attack of my brother. They were friends with six silver coins per day? As an apology, I’ll give you twenty silver coins for one gold coin, so can you take care of this?”
I thought he would ask me to put it up, but he said he would. I don’t know if it’s a mercenary’s calculation method or what, but I like it because it’s very cool. If I had been an idiot with a red-bottomed stomach, I would have ate it for a while longer or killed it all and peeled it off.
“This amount is sufficient to correct misunderstandings. Nice to meet you, friend.”
When I held out my hand to shake hands in the sense of closing the deal, the talkative laughed and grabbed my hand.
“Hey, it’s fortunate that the words went through. It’s really fortunate. I was very scared because the rumors about you were so much in Jung-gu.”
It was a remark that made me really curious about what kind of rumor it was, but it didn’t sound like a good rumor in that it was a rumor that made me raise my hand first even though the mercenaries who said they were a famous mercenary even suffered casualties, so I just nodded my head.
“Then, can my companions come out now?”
“Of course. Now, here’s the money… uh, this is also meant to be, can I ask you something?”
At the same time, the talker who subtly added another silver coin was actually a friend who was in an attitude of asking questions. I didn’t count them one by one, put them in my money bag and answered calmly.
“What?”
“Because Count Envelde had a pretty famous asshole called Gish? Did you fight him too?”
“Gish? I think the self-proclaimed Demon Butcher had that name.”
“Oh, he’s right! Apparently he fought? How was it? Was he strong?”
“Not really? Envelde is much stronger.”
The phrase “much more” was exactly right. I answered while recalling the already faint memories, and the talker clapped and continued.
“As expected! It was so fucking noisy in our mercenary corps! Envelde was a human with a severed head, but Gish wouldn’t have been a dick, Envelde, all of them lost their teeth because they were old, and Gish was stronger, and it’s not really a word That’s what I was talking about!”
“If you mix a knife with a toothless bitch, you’ll hear the sound of a throat cut in two pieces. Are you still okay with your mercenaries?”
“Euhahaha! It’s okay, it’s okay! Those who eat knives learn by doing so! If you don’t learn, you’ll die!”
indeed. Like a mercenary who lives on murder, he reacts kindly like a friend of 10 years without any objection to the death of six colleagues. Well, it’s a hundred times better than rolling an eye with half-hearted hostility, so it’s good for me.
“Rather than that, when was the last time you received a request from the guild leader? Is that bastard still in the guild?”
“Well? It’s been an hour or three? It was a request we received very urgently while we were drinking and drinking.”
At my gesture, the party slowly came out and remained silent, looking at me and the chatterer with puzzled eyes as we were talking warmly like close friends. Fortunately, the mercenaries did not pick up their weapons again to avoid misunderstanding, but pushed them aside with their feet and began to collect the bodies of their dead comrades.
“What did that motherfucker ask for?”
“There is a bitch who has damaged my authority, so if you come out alive in the waterway, you want me to kill you. Even asking me to check if you died inside if you don’t come out for a certain amount of time.
“This bastard is really behind.”
At my heartfelt response, the mouthpiece chuckled and moved aside.
“I’ll be busy, but I won’t catch you anymore. I’m Balakia from the Blue Owl Mercenaries. If I have another chance to see you, I’ll buy you a drink.”
“Then I will buy it.”
He didn’t say anything sorry about the people he killed. Not only were we not sorry, but if there had been no misunderstanding, we would have struggled to kill each other anyway.
Rellie threw a question with a strange face toward me as I left the driveway of the canal and walked out onto the main street of the city, leaving Balakia and his colleagues behind, who smiled and saw me off.
“Ega-san? What the hell did you do to get out of the Blue Owl Mercenary Corps first?”
“It’s a new thing now? You all know what my nickname is in the capital now.”
“No, that’s a little exaggerated, so I accepted it. It’s not common for mercenaries to step down first, right?”
In the end, I don’t think it’s wrong to say that it’s a job that makes a living on pride and fame. However, since I don’t know my rumors well, it’s very difficult for me to tell you where to go from steamed to old.
“It looks like he did something that deserves to be called a guillotine. There are so many rumors about the rest, I don’t know.”
“… Huh.”
don’t look at me like that I didn’t know that I would cut down more people than monsters in my life after my previous life.
◈
After an unexpectedly smooth encounter with the mercenary group, which almost caused such a big conflict, I separated from my party and headed to the guild alone. To be precise, there was Laika who was following me with a ploppong, but everyone was resting at the inn.
It’s a known fact that the guild leader’s head is beheaded anyway, but staying with him for no reason would only cause headaches. I can’t hurt my comrades with my personal life.
“Leica. No matter what I do, you have to stay still until I give you an order.”
[okay! Listen carefully to Leica!]
Yes, he listens well. After patting Laika’s head in front of the guild, I stood up and kicked the guild’s gate as hard as I could.
– Quaang!
Use your magic to the best of your ability. In order not to get hit by the gate that returned like a swing door because of the sturdy hinges like in the last time in Envelde’s mansion.
The result of overlooking that it was an iron gate then and now a wooden gate was rather disastrous. The wooden door was smashed and scattered as if it had been hit by a cannon ball.
“Aww!?”
“Muh, what’s going on?!”
“What’s going on, you bastards. It’s your job to lay a seat for your guild leader.”
It was a result that exceeded expectations, but it wasn’t bad because it was smashed coolly. I looked around for a moment while receiving the gazes of the adventurers and guild staff pouring in on me, then pulled out my sword and asked.
“Where is the guild leader?”
“Eh, isn’t this too much! Where is this place…”
“It went too far the moment that bastard sent a mercenary to kill me. If you don’t want to be killed, call the guild leader.”
When I flicked the blade and tried to stop the receptionist from jumping forward, the guy started to back away at a much faster speed than when he tried to come forward.
Unrelated adventurers started watching with interest, wondering what the hell was going on, but it was annoying to see the guild members, who had to move fast, not even move. I looked around to see if Kunz was gone, but I couldn’t see if he was doing something else.
“Aren’t you bringing them? Are you all cheating?” “This, see this. What are you talking about?
What are you talking about? The guild hires a mercenary and kills you …”
Bring it in. Before I go upstairs and destroy everything here.”
Fortunately, I liked the behavior of the second guy. I waited for the guy who turned around in an instant and jumped up to the second floor, and stood on my back for about two minutes.
The guy who came back like that was contemplative and opened his mouth.
“Okay, I’m not there.”
“Do you want to die?”
“No, really! Even the office is a mess as if I had run away at night…”
Before I could finish talking, I pushed him and went upstairs, but no one stopped me. But I had to feel the anger welling up from the depths of me without a chance to like that reaction.
Walking like that, entering what was expected to be the guild leader’s office, what I saw was a scene of a safe open randomly and a mess with all kinds of drawers, and the meaning of that was very obvious.
“This dog’s feet …”
Grondsel bounced off the world.
