Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 32
There is nothing special about wearing the grandiose title of exclusive butler and even wearing clothes.
All he had to do was get up at dawn to deal with Cheryl, tidy up the room with the maids while she ate, and make preparations such as packing necessary items according to the day’s schedule and loading them into the wagon in advance. Even more troublesome, it would be a biometric memo pad that sticks to her when she participates in banquets and informs or remembers the names and faces of nobles in advance.
Originally, it would have been quite a busy position given the reputation of the Ogatorv family, but Cheryl was different.
“I’m going to get a request today, so I’m getting ready.”
“Hey. I even sprayed perfume on it, but if that’s the case, I should have told you earlier.”
“I didn’t mean to say that.”
I shuddered as I watched Cheryl become more and more adept at teasing people.
Since she spent six days a week at the academy, an area where employees were not allowed to accompany her, I actually had almost no business-like work. After a few simple tidying up, it was a routine to spend most of the day training with the knights. At least there is a day when the lecture is empty, so he follows Cheryl, who goes out at best, but Cheryl does not even go out to play or shop, but to receive a request from the adventurer’s guild. I guess today was the day.
I’m sorry.
However, what is most reprehensible is the fact that Cheryl, who is the incarnation of this resentment, was a blue-age adventurer.
When I first heard it, I thought it would be the 6th grade, green level, but I never thought that it was one level higher. Nok and Cheong have different perspectives to the extent that it is said that being properly recognized as an adventurer begins with the Cheong level, although it is just one level. The three grades below the Cheong level are nothing more than a triple filter to filter out guys who are difficult to treat as people.
It was a bit strange that no one tackled or even escorted a little boy, the next head of a family, out alone to catch monsters, but after going around a few times, I realized that there were knights hiding and watching.
Since she doesn’t seem to be helping at all, it seems like he’ll help only when it’s a problem at the level of trying to kidnap and assassinate her after finding out her identity.
Of course, this was good for me too. Because she always asked to accompany requests.
Of course, a newcomer who has just become an adventurer and has an unpainted iron grade tag jingling can’t go along with the request. Thanks to this, she was able to go to the Adventurer’s Guild at any time on weekdays and receive random requests using the legitimate excuse of being Cheryl’s assistant.
The result of working so hard for over a year was the green grade chart hanging around my neck. There were many things, but in the end, it was a pretty satisfying experience.
It was also at this time that one of the questions I had when I first arrived, ‘what kind of quests are there in the adventurer’s guild in the capital and how can they be maintained’ was resolved.
The quest to defeat the adventurers guild located in the capital is simple. very easy or very difficult or Literally no middle ground.
The difficult quest is at a level where you can’t tell whether it’s fiction or real just by looking at the contents. A manticore appears from some mountain range and is attacking the city. A request to say that a high-ranking demon was summoned and harpooned from somewhere comes and goes every day and then disappears. It was at this time that I realized firsthand that the world was not the only problem with the demon king.
In comparison, the easy quest was a classic quest that could be found anywhere. Defeat the monsters in the underground waterways, starting with the goblins that appeared in the nearby town. Hunting hordes of low-risk monsters that have recently turned out to be more numerous, and so on. If you want the difficulty to rise above this level, you will move farther away from the capital. Indeed, the name of the low-level hunting ground is maintained in a form that fits perfectly.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a grazing-type theme park for safe hands-on experience. As a result, those who want to build their skills safely while having their own financial resources start their lives at the adventurer’s guild in the capital.
Since such a target is a customer, the guild cannot make money. Seeing consumable items being sold inside the guild, it was not difficult to guess that they were making quite a profit.
While thinking about this and that, I put on my leather armor and packed up my coat and other things like the sleeping bag I had brought with me when I first left Ogwen, and went outside. Not long after, Cheryl, dressed in a similar outfit to mine, appeared in front of my eyes
. Wearing leather armor and greaves and wearing iron gauntlets along with a long sword, he was an adventurer without fail. She was wearing a short cape, which she hadn’t worn until a few months ago, probably because of the chilly weather.
“I’m going a little far today.”
And he said it right away.
“What and how far are you going?”
“I heard that bandits are gathering in the ruins near the wine farm to the west.”
Sheryl moved her steps with her long hair tied back to make it easier to move, but I couldn’t hide my doubts.
“If the western winery you’re talking about is the one I know, it would take a day just to get to and from it?”
“That’s right there.”
“No, what about your academy?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Vacation.”
didn’t say anything However, I definitely remembered that I took a week off during fall vacation around this time last year, in early October. Oh my gosh, fall break! It makes me sick to my stomach to be able to enjoy a festival that even I, who lived in modern civilization, have never experienced.
“No matter how much I think about it, the academy seems to eat too raw. Vacation?
“The moment you put in that kind of protest, a petition asking for permission to accompany you will go up as well.”
“You’re good at studying. Isn’t it thrilling to think that you can study 365 days a year?”
Cheryl slammed her fist into my side as if it wasn’t worth answering.
Throwing in nonsensical nonsense that we are now accustomed to, we came out through the back door of the mansion amidst the servants and knights seeing off. The street we came out of was crowded, but since it was a door usually used by non-noble visitors, no one paid attention to us even when they saw us coming out dressed as adventurers.
“As you said earlier, isn’t it a subjugation request or a reconnaissance request?”
“Subjugation.”
“It will be a good experience.”
“I’m sorry.”
The fact that he said that he was disgusted with me means that he had the same thoughts as me. It’s like a guy who has no regrets.
It’s true that I’m very disgusted that a 15-year-old has a similar way of thinking as me when I’m still old, including my previous life.
◈
The Adventurer’s Guild, which arrived after a long walk, was crowded with people from the morning. Coming to the guild at this time on weekdays was an unfamiliar experience to me, so the crowd felt awkward.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many adventurers in the capital.”
But even Cheryl was thinking the same thing as me. Even so, when he says something like this when he has jjambab, it only sounds like something else has happened.
“If that’s how it looks to you, what might have happened?”
“Well. Looking at the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem serious, so maybe it doesn’t matter.”
Well, it’s just more of a noisy thing, and there’s no serious atmosphere going around. Then there would be no problem, so we decided not to mind and approached the huge bulletin board with the requests.
Today, as always, many requests were posted on the bulletin board. From neat requests that the guild receptionists put together to requests that were crooked and messy because someone had taken them off and put them on, it was a mountain of people, so it was chaos in front of the bulletin board.
“….sweet!”
And behind him, Cheryl, who was a little over 165 tall, was struggling with all her might, trying to somehow lift her heels and check the bulletin board.
What a delightful sight!
Look at that hopping platinum-haired bunny! You should have asked me, who is 15 cm taller than you and has a lot of body, to see you voluntarily run into hell because of your lofty pride and power of action! The appearance of pickled radish eyebrows wriggling and showing no resentment towards the person who pushes him in order to maintain his dignity! A furry hand approaching your jumping butt… Huh? what?
As the pleasant feeling cooled down for a moment, he strode closer, pulled Cheryl with his left hand, and grabbed the molester’s palm with his right hand and threw it back.
-Kudangtang!
Age cannot be guessed. mid 20’s? thirty? With beards and damaged skin, it was difficult to guess the age of the adventurers. However, unlike the dirty shoes, the equipment that was not particularly well-maintained and the leather breastplate, which showed only traces of time without much damage, was clear that it was not a big deal. The sound of him collapsing against the chair was a little loud, so people around him started to pay attention.
“What the fuck…! What the fuck are you doing?!”
“Fuck? What are you doing? Why are those words coming out of your mouth?”
I thought it would run away or hesitate on its own if I put it on the floor, but the sight of it furiously rolling its eyes forced my brows to unknowingly.
