Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 243

The story I picked up while trying to dispel the interest of the parish priest Hisjena, who was very interested in my activities, was of little content.

It was said that there were not only unsettling movements in the Headquarters of the Holy Light Cross, but also that some members of the church were showing signs of corruption due to the whispers of the devil, and other sincere believers were gathering and gathering their strength to enter into a massive trial for heresy.

The scale is not small, so why is it not a big deal? Corruption in this neighborhood doesn’t pop out like a meal like some game companies abuse, but it’s not rare, because it’s located in the middle of the border.

The pleasures of the demon bastards are full of people, but the greatest pleasure among them is to send them to the goal of faithful priests, so it is an incident that pops up once in a while. Of course, this time it seems to have started at the head office, so it might be a bit of a problem.

It’s not my business, so I don’t know.

“The threat of demons is a problem that must be taken more seriously than the demons, and it is a matter that we must gather strength regardless of religion. Fortunately, the Imperial Spiritual Assembly and the imperial family granted our request…” “The hero refused?

”

“Haa, that’s right. I got a reply telling me to take care of the bowl fight. I didn’t know what that meant, but I could tell from the nuance alone.”

It’s a rice bowl fight… Looking at this series of movements with the saintess as a memory from a previous life, it seems that it can be seen as a quarrel between corrupt religious people.

Since Siegfried was still in the position of being educated at the academy, he would have moved if he had actively appealed to the Empire and the Imperial Spiritual Assembly. Rather, the fact that the two groups delegated the decision-making authority to Siegfried was most likely a decision made after understanding his disposition.

Even if the devil suffers great damage, it is a problem that can be solved without a hero, but it is not the devil. It seems highly likely that the decision was made because he wanted to maintain his prestige and had no particular desire to help.

Right now, I don’t want to deal with it because the only thing I can get from the demon is halfway byproducts. It would be a million times better in the long run to return to the capital as soon as possible and focus on studying magic.

I don’t think the Empire or the Imperial Spiritual Assembly will be any different. It’s not like I won’t lend my strength because I don’t help the demon king and the hero when they fight, but I don’t want to show the hero card to deal with the devil whose combat power measurement is jagged. If I lose to the devil by any chance, I won’t have any idea how things will turn out.

But this is nothing like practice.

“Give me a pen and a letter.”

“Why are you writing a letter…”

“I’m going to write a letter to Siegfried. You can send it the fastest way the parish priest can send it.”

While looking at me with a mysterious expression and handing over the tools, I tried to ignore the parish priest Hisjena. I wrote down just two lines, folded it finely, put it in an envelope, wrote the name of the sender and recipient according to the form, and handed it along with the by-products. have been asking

“Enclose it and send it. We will help you.”

“…A hero who did not move even at the request of the Empire and the Imperial Spiritual Assembly will move with only this letter and the devil’s by-products? No matter how valuable this is, it is a pittance compared to the support of the Empire?”

“It’s not a request, it’s a provocation. And the price of the by-products I used to help the parish priest, so I’ll buy them from the Holy Cross.”

Because he is Korean, he will never tolerate provocations.

◈

“Oh, that’s because I hate it.”

In the academy’s private quarters, Siegfried frowned as much as he could, scratched the back of his head as much as he could, and expressed his refusal with his whole body. Esmuer frowned at the sight of his lack of stature, and it was only after Esselua sighed and slapped Siegfried on the shoulder that he corrected his posture a little and faced Esmuer with his brows straightened.

There was indeed a lot to say, but Esmuer took a sip of tea and began to weed out the words. In her own time, Esmuer, who barely managed to get rid of the arrogant advice and nagging about Siegfried’s rude behavior, put the teacup down so that the sound was not heard and spoke again.

“It’s not about whether you like it or not. This is related to everyone’s prestige.”

“I don’t do it. They don’t think it’s particularly important, so they delegated the decision to me.”

“Haa… Right now, Saint Teniasi, your lover, is advising that it is better to comply with the request of the Holy Cross Society for the sake of the position that will be established within the Holy Spirit Church.”

The Imperial Spiritual Assembly is the most philistine of many religions. In a way, it was a natural procedure since it brought about a symbiotic relationship with the empire, but this is also related to the warrior.

In other denominations, saints appear based on piety, but in the Imperial Spiritual Assembly, warriors of a higher rank appear regardless of piety. It is not to underestimate the value of faith, but it is not to be used as an indicator of blind life.

If the demon king is defeated, Siegfried’s nobility is inevitable. Judging from the way he treats his lovers now, it is certain that he will marry all three of them. In that case, let alone Entire, the elf, Saint Teniasi Reles would be given a key position in charge of coordination between the Imperial Spiritual Assembly and the imperial family. Certainly not a good place. It is necessary to manage the reputation and prestige of each individual in advance in order to check the manipulations around them.

Two problems arise in the process.

The first was that Saint Tenias Reiles was one of the few who had the fewest opportunities for such management. Because it was an unspoken rule not to get involved in the internal affairs of the Imperial Spiritual Assembly no matter how much Esmue was the next emperor.

Unless they come out into the world and make excuses, what happens inside must be left as it is. Even if Saint Tenias becomes betrothed to Siegfried, that does not change. The situation that can be called an exception is only now. During this limited time, it was Saint Tenias who had to build many achievements and prestige next to Siegfried.

“I-I respect Zeke’s judgment, Princess.”

The second problem is that attitude. Saint Teniasi was very indecisive, had low self-esteem, and was the most blind follower of Siegfried.

Siegfried stroked Tenassi’s head with a smile full of affection, completely oblivious to Esmuer’s desire to slap his forehead.

“I want to respect Tessie as much as she respects me. To be honest, it’s not that I don’t understand what Esmuer is saying at all. If you think it’s necessary, I don’t mind moving.”

“Oh, no. It’s enough for me to be by Zeke’s side!”

Yem disease. Would such words come out even if Siegfried’s weakness was to be used as an excuse of not being qualified as a saint?

Esmuye let out a deep sigh as he tried to control the bubbling inside with a sip of tea, and Esselua, who had to watch her inside rot because of their superficial relationship, was also sighing silently.

-Smart tock

-Sir Siegfried. A letter has arrived.

“I’m currently in a meeting with the first princess. Later.”

Esmuer thinks quietly. In a way, he’s not without a corner similar to Eldmia in that he never makes mistakes like this even though he acts like an infinitely lazy person. Of course, it’s not even comparable.

I tried to shake my head again to shake off my brief thoughts and try to convince Siegfried somehow, but to my surprise, the voices coming from outside continued.

-That’s because it’s been classified as an urgent…

“Urgent?”

While tilting his head, Siegfried first glanced at Esmuer. And Esmuer, too, was puzzled and nodded lightly to indicate agreement.

“come in.”

As soon as the door opened, the attendant hurriedly bowed and entered. What was in the hand was more like luggage than a letter. Siegfried’s eyebrows rose above his forehead as he received the mysterious box with a strange expression.

“Eldmia?”

“What?”

At the same time, Esmuer’s face was full of displeasure and Siegfried’s mouth was smiling. When the servant who backed away quickly closed the door and walked away, Siegfried, who had been wearing a sinister smile, opened his mouth.

“Hey, did my younger brother send a letter to his older brother first that he didn’t even send to the first princess? Enclosed with a gift?”

“……”

Esmuer puffed out both cheeks without hiding his dissatisfaction. Does this mean it’s a story?

“Ha ha ha. Then, what the hell did my brother send to this brother Zeke, so let’s see if he sent it as an urgent report?”

What Siegfried opened the package with a sly smile and checked was quite surprising. Entyre was the first to speak when everyone was making faces at the appearance of a completely unexpected object.

“A by-product of the devil?”

“That, that’s also a by-product of a fairly strong demon.”

“What is it? At this timing? Is it a hint that you want to take care of your brother’s pocket money? Will it be written in the letter?”

Esmuer put aside the dissatisfaction and sorrow he had been harboring for a while and looked at the by-products of the devil that Siegfried had put down for a while. Judging by the size of Siegfried’s fist, it must have been left behind by a fairly powerful demon, as Tennyash said. where did you get it from? In the meantime, is it the spoils obtained after fighting the devil and winning?

No, if it was such a glorious spoil, wouldn’t it be right to give it to your future wife? How could he give something like this to Siegfried?

Siegfried’s cold words stopped Esmuer, who had not yet been able to find out the source of the object and hadn’t even received a confirmation that he would marry, and was about to puff out his cheeks again feeling strong dissatisfaction.

“…going to catch the devil.”

“…huh?”

“I’m going to catch the devil.”

Siegfried looked up and saw that his nasolabial folds were all distorted and looked very ugly. He didn’t look particularly angry, but he seemed to suddenly have a desire to compete.

“Does this outrageous younger brother dare to provoke local provocations?”

The letter Siegfried was reading was delivered to Esmue, who tilted his head at what the hell he was talking about. Esmuer looked at the contents, thinking that letters would be good again.

-Dear Siegfried, a warrior of the Imperial Spiritual Assembly and a friend of the Imperial Family.

I laughed out loud at the letter with the addressee more verbose than the text of only two lines. There was no reason to be naked. While shaking his head, Esmuye looked at the text, feeling sorry for himself that his heart started beating at the mere fact that it was written by Eldmia.

– Were you scared? i got it

After reading just one line, I understood what he was talking about. He did not know what process he had gone through to get in contact with the Holy Cross and hear the story, but in the end, he was no stranger to moving Siegfried with just this one letter.

But what I liked the most was the following sentence.

-P.s. The enclosed devil’s by-product is the pride of the empire and a gift for the brilliant white star, so please deliver it carefully.

“…Hmmmm. I’m sorry for using Yeo. Anyway, a gift is a gift, and in the end, it’s helping her, so I’ll take it into consideration.”

Although I understood that even that last line was a trick to make Siegfried feel good by using the anticipation of the mail, Esmuer smiled contentedly and took all the letters and by-products.

Fortunately, Siegfried was no longer interested in the letter as he was making useless jokes.
