Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 24
As soon as Asilie came to her senses, she was hit with a merciless back smash.
In the end, after spending a considerable amount of time calming down Asilie, who was crying and knocking on my back with the force of tearing me apart, I was finally able to calm her down after receiving help from Ragnis and Alicia.
‘No, that’s why it’s so high that it’s safe to fall down…
‘
‘Hey, you fucking ignorant bastard!’
‘Are you really clueless!’
But at the end, I said one wrong thing and was slapped with the palm of the hand by three women. really. It hurt really badly.
‘I never thought I’d be beaten after solving a ridiculous case.’
‘Honestly, from the sidelines, even the bard was a heroic figure who would cry, but… Seen through the eyes of a family member, the outfit is worth bursting.’
Gis, who had been listening to my grunts, smiled bitterly and gave an answer that I had no choice but to admit.
In the end, Geese and the flying dragon were in a position to move only when Ragnis, who had become an adult, was recognized as Marquis. No matter what the first meeting was, he was a person who made a great contribution to saving Ragnis, and Alicia, who heard about the situation, rented a room for free, so he stayed at her inn.
They were all interrogated by the guards, but no problems arose. It almost happened, but thanks to the testimonies around me, it didn’t happen.
Time passed and Ragnis’s birthday approached.
“I don’t really want to get involved with this…”
“You want to do that reckless thing in the sky hundreds of meters above and then fall in at the end?”
Ragnis, who was sitting in a chair acting calmly as if he had heard a really absurd story, said with a dejected expression.
“The last word is used only in the middle of the day.”
“Don’t try to talk nonsense about it.”
Normally, Ragnis would have listened casually, but Ragnis took the most stubborn attitude and grabbed me. Of course, it will be the last time I see your face like this, so there’s nothing I can’t understand, but it’s okay to just talk about it in moderation and move away when the King’s party arrives. However, she demanded to accompany me until the end because she was uneasy, and even Asilie agreed to it, so I ended up killing time at Alicia’s inn without being able to move.
But what can I do? In the first place, my purpose was only to thoroughly punish and retaliate against those who touched my surroundings. Of course, this time I didn’t want to apologize with death, but as a result, my business was already over. Now that it has been confirmed that there are no abnormalities in the body, the body is busy returning to the days of training. Even if I’ve been through a pretty big incident, what I have to do in the future is more dangerous and bigger.
Although Delt died and all the captives had poor information, it was unfortunate that Ragnis’ grand plan to slap the backs of the aristocrats by biting their tails was ruined.
“I didn’t plan that far.”
“Such a soft attitude is not good. Especially if you’re going to live as a Margrave.”
Not advice for a girl who is only 16, but after all, whatever my common sense, I am an adult in this world. It was clear that the road ahead of her, who officially became the successor and took over the position of Marquis, would be a thorny road ahead. Even though there is no territory to protect, she will be a Margrave with only her name and property for a while, but her influence will grow over time, and her sophisticated tricks that are incomparable to this time will continue to harass her.
“You have to be aware that you will go to a world where there is no long-legged old man, Eldmia, helping you anymore.”
“You’re not my brother anymore, are you my uncle?”
“Jeong…”
“Yes, Eldmia, whose mental age has exceeded 30 years, must have an intelligence comparable to that of the old man.”
In return for arrogantly intercepting the lines, he tousled his hair.
“I know.”
“…Can’t we go with Eldmia?”
“I’m busy training with Asillie for two more years and going to decapitate the commander who killed our village.”
The fact that Delt died without being able to mix swords with me was completely due to circumstances. It was only possible to kill the process of thinking that inevitably occurs when faced with something out of common sense with a strengthened body and kill it with a single knife. If he hadn’t made up his mind and raised his mana and went into full force, a counterattack might have come in an instant.
The moment I cut his throat, I knew it as soon as I saw the expression on his face that he understood the whole situation belatedly and accepted his death. Although at that moment I felt pure joy that all those reckless attempts fit in and succeeded at once, but not now.
If it was a head-to-head match, I would die.
Even though there is a guy like that, there must be many guys who are better than him, but the demon army is still the same and the war has been going on for 6 years without even killing the demon king.
There were too many strong people to overcome in order to stick to their beliefs. As a result, the time that had not felt so lacking until now felt so lacking. OCD is inevitable.
“There are many excellent knights on the side of the King’s faction. My position is considerable enough that they dare to write today’s script to bring me. If you want, you can negotiate well enough.”
To be able to formally learn swordsmanship from a knight. Looking at me with an infinitely serious face and determined eyes, Ragnis declared.
It’s not exactly wrong, and it won’t be empty. And not bad conditions either.
If I can’t get help from the knight, he’ll even think of giving me a chance to learn by putting me in the Royal Academy in the capital at his own expense. I know very well how much she feels for me because of the series of events already. So, there was a part that was hard to accept.
“Who would teach a guy who can’t even be used as a soldier and wants to get revenge when he gets good at it?”
“Still, there may be people who will see your talent and teach you. There are surprisingly many such stories.”
“Okay. I’ll think about it if someone with about 10 swords of the king comes and asks me to learn.”
If you learn from such people, after you learn what you need, wouldn’t it be natural for you to be kicked out because what you thought was a talent is actually not a talent? Come to think of it, it might be a pretty attractive situation.
“They also have a ranking in terms of skill. Are you saying they’ll think about it even if they’re just 10th?”
“It’s 10 swords at a time, but I’m not in a position to cover it. If it’s more than 5 swords, shouldn’t I ask you to take me without even thinking about it?”
I finally answered with a smile, wanting to get out of the heavy atmosphere and move on to a light joke.
“that word.”
OK.
“Don’t overdo it.”
With a smile that clearly meant something different from mine, Ragnis threw a meaningful line.
That smile…yes.
It was very similar to the laugh I gave when I lied about Ragnis hitting the bully. Thanks to that, an unknown chill ran down my spine.
“Hey, I’m scared, so don’t laugh like that.”
“A friendly smile is scary. Too much.”
“No, what kind of favor is it full of? Just looking at it, it’s a smile full of intentions saying, ‘You ridiculously put that condition on me? Do you think you can’t do that?’”
“If that’s an advantage for Eldmia, wouldn’t it be a friendly smile after all?”
A deepening smile stimulates fear. It’s like a beast hunting for food, and even the illusion that the earth shakes with the sense of intimidation… No? does it really ring?
“Looks like you’ve arrived.”
Fortunately, Ragnis stood up, looking out of the inn, as if I wasn’t alone in feeling empty. I wondered what the hell she was bringing, so I followed her outside and couldn’t help but doubt my eyes.
“Crazy fuck.”
On the main road leading to the inn, people were making their way out of the road, cutting left and right.
“Is this what it means to come out to meet you?”
Across the parting crowd, five figures who, at a glance, appear to be nobles, knights, and wizards majesticly walk atop horses covered in fancy barding.
“I told you. It’s a script that cares about the public eye.”
Standing beside me, Ragnis answered, but I couldn’t bear to turn my head to see her. For that reason, the presence of the soldiers walking in close formation behind the five riders was too great. The sight of dozens of soldiers dressed in royal army uniforms that were incomparable to those of the city guard escorting a wagon approaching was truly spectacular. At the same time, I could understand why she had said goodbye to everyone but me yesterday.
Today, she was not Levi from Alicia Inn, but Ragnis Lien da Lavien, the last surviving member of the Lavien family who guarded the kingdom of Itthiel. Even the proper parting words cannot be shared.
“It’s been a while. Sir Ekaf.”
Ragnis took three steps forward and spoke to one of the five riders, who looked like heroes who left their names in history. The knight, with his striking platinum hair and clear purple eyes, got off his horse with the others and slowly opened his mouth.
“The King’s Third Sword, Ekaf Tsusin Ogatoffr, salutes the Marquis of Levien, the Shield of the Kingdom.”
Since he was an adult, the knight knelt down, calling him Marquis without any rhetoric.
He knelt first, and the others who dismounted also knelt. As they knelt down, even the lined up soldiers knelt down, and as the soldiers knelt down, even the citizens who were watching in a daze knelt together in suffocating silence.
I was so freaked out that I missed the timing to kneel.
