Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 240
When we left the detention center, it was time for lunch, when the smell of food was everywhere.
I don’t know if it’s because there are more adventurers who eat three meals a day while staying in inns because of the lockdown from thieves, but it feels much busier than the adventurer district in the capital. Thanks to this, I had to feel intense hunger, but I thought that the party would be preparing a meal in this amount of time, so I headed straight to the inn without falling into the side road.
“Wow, you really walked out unscathed.”
Sen, whom I met upon arrival, sipped beer with the group as if to prove my prediction was correct, and then spat out a word with an expression of amazement. In response, not only the eyes of the party, but also the other adventurers around me began to look at me.
“I can’t believe it when I see it. Really? Did you make a fuss?”
“Is that the capital’s mad dog…”
“Actually, he has a relationship with the royal family…”
Yem Byeong. What kind of bad relationship is it?
It’s impossible to talk about every single rumor that circulates around the bar, so I pretend I didn’t hear it and approach the table, and Laika, who was curled up under Asilie’s chair, approaches with a roar. Laika didn’t complain that she was particularly hungry even though she hadn’t given her magic power for two days, as if she had followed her orders not to wander too much while I was gone. You listen really well.
Feeling proud again, I sat down on the seat that Asilie had made for me, stroked Laika, and ordered a meal. Gaendal laughed and said,
“Congratulations on getting out.”
“Released from prison. You’re talking harshly. It’s just release from detention.”
“Haha. Anyway, I’m glad it worked out. Quite a few items came and went before you came. Have you heard about it?”
“Yes. Thanks to Mr. Kunzu himself, he came and explained it, so I’m getting my head around it.”
There is no dramatic reaction. It is only natural that most of the stories were shared before entering the detention center anyway. We just plainly lamented our entanglement in this nuisance, rejoiced in the reward, and sat down to our suppers.
A little detailed story started to come out around the time the meal was in full swing.
“Eldmia-sama, what did the guild leader do?”
“Guild leader? I threw it.”
“That’s it? Anyone can see that it fell from a four-story building, right? Bycks’ mansion is two-story, right?”
“So I threw it high. It fell easily head first.”
If sane people heard it, it would have been a terrible story, but since they are adventurers, they have no objection to the death of bad guys. Rather, not only do I prefer sagas, but I approach it with the idea that there may be something to learn from detailed stories, and I tend to actively use it as a subject for conversation.
“Eh, I can’t stand Eldmia’s fight.”
As a result, I can understand the reactions of Carls and Weise, who secretly look forward to it with Sen and then look disappointed. It’s because they sewed the first button of meeting like a retard, because they are also veteran adventurers with a desire to rise.
Maybe that’s why, after spending a few weeks together, they secretly feel comfortable and show off that there are many things they want to hear. That look just makes me laugh.
“Do what you can do, work hard. Or awaken your aura. If you can’t use the aura, what kind of aura will you refer to?”
“No, if anyone sees it, they’ll think it can be used to fetch dogs or cows. Even in the regular knights, you’re saying it so easily when you distinguish between people who can’t use it and people who can use it.”
“I’m saying this because I know it’s not easy. How many apprentice knights do you think have awakened to the Aura during the two-and-a-half years that I worked as Sogaju’s exclusive butler for the Oga Torv family?”
There were only 20 children who were selected as talented, but only 3 of them had developed auras. Even that is said to be a lot, so let alone sorted out, among the adventurers scattered all over the world, it will really pop out at the level of a bean in a drought. Right now Gaendal is stepping on the steps of an elite adventurer with a promising future.
Of course, just because you can’t use it doesn’t mean it’s a gutter. Right now, even Yekatrina has physical abilities that make it hard to believe that she can’t use Auras, and there are quite a few knights who can compete with quite a few Aura users with only swordsmanship and physical abilities.
However, rather than targeting such singularities, it would be more realistic advice to try to awaken the aura.
“Maybe adventurers have a higher chance of blooming Auras environmentally than knights. A research topic that has been frequently mentioned in the academy for the past few years is ‘the possibility of blooming Auras brought about by battle and the crossroads of life and death’. Now Seeing that the wire is holding up this far, it might be a surprisingly credible study.”
It is said that the strength of human beings is quantity, but that is only possible when the level is right. Even if a hundred thieves rushed at me, there was such a gap between normal humans and demons that it would be too much for me to overcome. It would be a reasonable judgment to think that the fact that it has been dragging it so far means that an unprecedented change is taking place on the frontlines.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m intoxicated or because I’ve been freed from solving annoying problems, but just as I was about to tell a positive story based on that hypothesis, Sen opened his eyes wide and asked a question.
“Yes? You worked as a butler for the Ogatorpes?”
I tried to tell a good story at best, but I got stuck on something weird. However, not only did he bite the rice cake, but everyone else started biting it as well.
“Somehow strangely, he said he couldn’t tell where he was staying.”
“Wow, butler? Mr. Ega, are you really 15 years old?”
“No, the butler is different. It’s just Sogaju…”
“Wait? Two years? Then it’s only been two years since you’ve mastered manners and knowledge that are often shown?”
Yem disease. I guess I wasn’t the only one who was relieved.
In the end, I was able to come up to the dorm only after solving various rumors, including my personal personal information, until evening, let alone an in-depth story.
“Did Eldy talk a lot today?”
“It makes my mouth hurt from talking so much. Why is he so interested in the life of a 15-year-old?”
After washing it off with warm water for the first time in a long time, I sat down on the bed and muttered quietly while drying my hair. Asilie, who had already finished getting ready for bed and was reading a book, answered with a smile.
“It’s not normal. Right now, even if it’s just what Eldy has been involved with in the past few weeks, it’s probably the story of everyone else’s life?
Well, since Laika, who is lying down on my bed right now and snoring, is a demonic sword, that’s true.
After listening to her words and meekly understanding, as I watched Laika hit the goal, Asilie suddenly burst into laughter.
“What? What’s so funny all of a sudden?”
“I remembered what Laika did while Eldi was in the detention center. He was a perfect dog.”
The appearance of twitching its front paws, as if it is dreaming, is also a dog. Contrasting it to the fact that he was a demonic sword, it was a very funny sight, but it seems that the point that Asilie laughed at wasn’t that one.
“Then, when I remembered that he was a demonic sword, I remembered the past.”
“When did you first meet?”
“That’s right.”
“I also thought of those thieves when I first saw him. How could I have the idea that there might be an idiot spilling things like that?”
But thinking about it, all I get is absurdity, not laughter. I feel it sometimes, but the point of Asilier’s laughter is strange…
“Rather than the thieves, I remembered how Eldi’s expression became contemplative after he released my shackles and explained the slave contract. Just ‘Help!’ you shouted.”
…nothing. I was just recalling the memories that made me laugh. It was a bit embarrassing, but not to the point of wanting to kick the blanket.
“I heard that that moment was really desperate. It was more shocking than the moment I acted to kill the thieves.”
“I could tell just by looking at his expression. Even in that situation, he was so dumbfounded that he tried to burst into laughter.”
After all, I’m just laughing and passing it on now because I was in a situation where I could die at that time. In fact, just being able to laugh it off like this doesn’t make me feel ashamed.
“Anyway, this time too, I got involved in something stupid. If I go back to the capital, I won’t have time to rest properly, so I’m going to go into the apprentice of a sorceress named Legneva, right?”
“…I think it’s possible enough in terms of timing.”
This time, it was possible that he would go directly to Ogwen without passing through the capital. By the time we return to the capital, more than three weeks must have passed.
“Time really flies like crazy. When we finish our business in Ogwen and return to the capital, haven’t we been around for almost four weeks?”
“That’s how it will be? Of course, if you don’t get involved in another job in the middle.”
“There is a story that words become seeds, older sister…don’t do that…”
It sure feels good to have the opportunity to know that all of my efforts have not been in vain, but for a while, I just want to quietly train and study. .
