Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 260
After finishing the meal and chatting for a while, Cheryl returned to the academy neatly.
The dissatisfaction that I was treated unfairly because of the influence of the aristocrats disappeared to some extent, and the fact that nothing was said even though I came to the academy ended with I didn’t know, so it was a natural reaction. Before leaving, he looked at the stack of documents with the seal of the Holy Cross by the fireplace, but did not ask any further questions. I couldn’t tell if it was because I noticed what the documents meant or because I didn’t care.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“…Did you come without a word?”
There were no horses I hadn’t seen in the stable, so of course I thought I would have made her wait somewhere nearby after riding the carriage.
“I came running. The procedure to rent a horse at the academy is cumbersome.”
“No, you rode well last time you were at Ragnis.”
“I was forced to come. I noticed twice because I was warned about it.”
It was funny that it was more amazing that he was noticing in the end while taking such an action than the fact that he had been forcibly stolen from the academy’s horse, but anyway, he said he didn’t mind and decided to just do it. I was washing the dishes while helping Rie, and Asilie, who had finished cleaning the table, smiled and said to me,
“It’s so amazing. We chatted for a while before Eldy came, but I didn’t know how they were so similar.”
“It’s not even the slightest bit similar.”
“It’s just that I don’t know. They only talk nicely, but the ideas and principles of action are really similar?”
“My rich sensibility and vocabulary are on a different level than Cheryl’s.”
“It’s because the formality of aristocrats is thorough and the need to restrain one’s emotions is ingrained in one’s body. In fact, doesn’t Eldy, who was the exclusive butler, know the best?”
I kept my mouth shut for a moment so as not to fall for Asilie’s skillful narration, which smiled alludingly and demanded an answer. It’s a situation where silence is positive, but it’s the best I can do.
know. It’s not like I feel like a younger brother for nothing. However, when facts are brought to the face, most of them are rejected. Even I am the result of going through a worldly previous life and an unjust death, but it’s even more disgusting because he’s not like that, and he’s a pure 15-year-old. This is a secret that I can’t tell yet, so I changed my words appropriately, finished cleaning up, and sat down by the stove again and started reading the documents.
“Come to think of it, aren’t you going to work at the academy now? Are the clothes you’re going to wear okay?”
“Oh right. The story came out when I stopped by the aristocratic house. You can go to the clothing store they told you about tomorrow morning and pick it up.”
While I was stroking Laika, who naturally approached me and placed her heavy body on my thigh, and was looking at a document summarizing the changes that had occurred among the Crusaders over the years, I came back to the memory of passing by Asilie’s question as I sat across from her. I got a rough address, maybe it was in my coat pocket?
Aside from being a gift from the Duke of Lesrom, I asked how the hell he found out my size, and he said Messiella, a competent maid at the temporary detention center, was that person. However, it was not planted like a spy, but for some reason, he voluntarily worked in the detention center.
It was not particularly harmed by her, but rather a comfortable life, so it was a story that was not taken seriously. When we talked in a way that sounded like small talk after dinner, Asilie shook her head and gave a small smile.
“No matter how much you think about it, they’re not the people you’ll meet with what a 15-year-old would go through.”
“Huh. That’s right.”
It was so true that I couldn’t help but laugh this time.
◈
The cold got stronger and it was really embarrassing to get up early in the morning, but it was a day when I had to go out again, so I crawled out of bed and carefully prepared breakfast so as not to wake Asilie who was sleeping.
[master. Go out today?]
“Now I have to go out almost every day.”
[Do you go with Leica?]
“Uh. You go too.”
In cooperation with Seneran, I don’t want to leave her around until I know her condition in detail, and even though I’m not sure if it’s a real Welsh corgi or a pseudo Welsh corgi, I think it’s better to take her for a walk rather than being stuck at home. Laika loves the world and starts wagging her tail vigorously.
Really, the more I look at it, the more ridiculous it gets. How the hell did he think of using this guy as a material for a demonic sword? It is clear that the ancient magic sword makers were all psychopaths who lacked the ability to empathize.
It was a little early enough that most of the shops in the capital were barely open, but it might be necessary to make repairs, so it would be better to leave early. I passed the last sandwich with a sip of milk and left the house with Laika as soon as I was ready to go out.
At the same time, I cursed at the cold that greeted me fiercely.
Humans are said to be adaptable creatures, but they cannot adapt to this terrible cold in their past or present life. Of course, the cold here is harsher than in Korea, and even though my body is much more trained than then, there are many problems compared to it in terms of being this cold, but what can I do about being so cold that I curse. You can’t curse God, so you have to curse the cold.
It’s not a particularly urgent situation, and it’s not an impossible situation to deal with, but I didn’t know what kind of bitterness I’d hear if I used the Spirit as a portable hand warmer, so I overcame the cold with only clothes and arrived at the clothing store by following the map. From the time I heard that Duke Lesrom had prepared it, I felt a vague sign that this would happen, but it was a very burdensome situation.
Most of the luxury goods in this world are made by dwarves, and that’s no different than clothing.
As various functions are added in conjunction with magic, it is a luxury item for nobles who can take care of both convenience and style, and for adventurers, it is like a lifeline that they want to buy at least one if they earn a lot of money. ‘Why is this so expensive?’ It can be said that it is a true luxury because it is at a level where you can’t help but think, ‘Oh, this is why it is expensive.’
But that’s just to say that it’s a luxury item when the level is right. When a mere young adventurer wears it, they laugh in many ways…
“Oh, that’s right.”
While I was thinking by myself, with a belated realization, I sighed and went into the store without saying anything. To put it bluntly, since you are becoming a disciple of an academy professor who was a former court mage, you need to maintain some kind of dignity. If so, you should get it right.
The clothing store that entered it has been pressuring people with a very antique design with furniture that smells like wood, a lot of well-organized fabrics, and not many mannequins and clothes that are calmly placed. The older dwarf, who was sitting alone drinking coffee and reading a newspaper while looking around at the appearance that drew more attention than most armor stores, turned his gaze to me and adjusted his glasses and said,
“Hmm? You’ve been here since early morning.”
“…Do you know who I am?”
“You know well. Reservation guest.”
These days, I feel like I have a lot of dumb things to do without knowing. Did that old man mean the same thing as saying that I am the only customer there today?
The old dwarf man, who had put newspapers and coffee neatly on the table, approached me at a leisurely pace, glanced over at me with a snooping look, and continued his conversation naturally.
“Hmm, the person who measured it was very accurate. I don’t think you need to tinker with it.”
Mr. Valkun was also a craftsman enough to guess the weapon I was using with his eyes, so that level was not surprising. I greeted the old man as the Confucian dragon in my body told me to.
“…I’m late to say hello, old man. I’m going to Eldmia.”
“Huh, you’re polite. You don’t look aristocratic, do you?”
“Somehow I came here, but I’m just an adventurer.”
Even at a cursory glance, the old man, who could feel the smelt of a craftsman like Mr. Valkun, showed a smile that could be felt through his thick white beard.
“Somehow, this place is not a place where you can match clothes?”
“That’s right. Thanks to you, I’m dumbfounded.”
He expressed his sincere feelings without adding or subtracting, but for some reason, the old man only smiled cheerfully.
“You’re a fun human friend. Did you know what kind of clothes they are?”
“Actually, I didn’t know at all. I just… I thought it was something I wouldn’t be ashamed of when I entered the academy as an assistant teacher.”
“Cheolkeolkeol. That’s right. It’s clothes that you won’t be ashamed of. I know enough to know.”
A place full of eye-catching clothes that are not embarrassing, and an old man who said something that didn’t match the atmosphere he was exuding, lifted a long pole and took out a piece of clothing hanging on the wall, as if it was really no big deal. handed it over to me
“Wizards have a knack for making the viewer have a stereotype because the clothes they wear are a bit sloppy. Thanks to that, you look like a wizard even with just one cape on. So, I just made the clothes in a way that is comfortable for you to move in. That’s right. So the coat and cape won’t bother you. Go in and try them on. I put the shoes inside, so change them.”
The motion of pointing to the locker room with a pole is very natural. I was intimidated for no reason and headed to the changing room, but the old man seemed to be more interested in Laika, who was waiting behind him.
It took me a while to change my clothes because I was too cautious about what to wear, but I couldn’t help but admire every time I put on each piece of clothing.
I’ve never worn a custom outfit in my life, so it’s a pity that I can’t compare it, it was a really perfect fit. The part that needs to be held is held and the part that needs to be relaxed is moderately relaxed enough to not be uncomfortable. I like the design as well as the fit. What the old man called shoes was not shoes, but they had a visual that would not be awkward even if they were combat boots, but they were exquisitely covered by suit pants and looked like shoes at a glance. It felt like it was focused.
“Come to think of it, how about a cape? I made it to the point where it wouldn’t bother me when I pulled out a sword.”
“Very comfortable. But how did you know I was a warrior?”
“The recipient was in your name. Don’t you know you’re famous?”
Since Civitor only meets humans every day, it is very awkward to have a conversation about my fame in this form.
“That, I only met people I don’t know well…”
Thanks to that, I hesitated to answer, but the old man burst out laughing and said in a tone that he still didn’t care.
“That’s a big deal. I’m sure no one in the academy doesn’t know about it.”
Yem disease.
Didn’t rumors spread about his actions in the Empire? I was banned from imitating the knight in the fairy tale.
