Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 361

The week-long journey that followed after leaving McKellen’s estate was peaceful beyond all else.

There were no pursuers swearing to avenge Count McKellen, no assassins seeking my life, no elf hunters passing by, no entanglement in the nefarious schemes of demon worshipers.

There are only small bandits that frequently come across like pebbles on the side of the road.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! Also, run! Go to Eldmia!”

“Whis, a whistling demon has appeared!!”

I forgot how angry I was at the appearance of the thieves I met without missing a day during the week, and whistled in a businesslike manner to blow the needle. I let out a sigh as I watched the sound of their songs resonate louder.

“Wow, Isthel is a man compared to here. Why are there so many thieves?”

That’s what I said, but I already know why. What kind of Warring States period Japan is, because of the western kingdoms fighting fiercely every day and the nobles under them, those who can be called slash-and-burners and bandits are really born in an instant.

The problem was that the land mass here was not small, so the number was really negligible.

Contrary to my expectations that it would be okay to get out of the borders, the number of elves increased the further they went inland. Perhaps because the elves wearing hoods looked like pilgrims, most of them lost their cowardice and rushed at them.

And after all of them, I came to know their ecology. If left alive, these don’t repent and try to live faithfully, but crawl into another group like some goblin babies.

“…now I know who you are.”

The result is the twist that just unfolded right in front of your eyes. Even just the other day, there were guys who had been ignorant until the raid and then ran away, but now they have reached a situation where they scream and jump out of hiding places.

The eyes of the elves who looked at the injured or dying thieves with careless expressions seemed to contain a lot of meaning. Of course, their impressions were of little importance to me. I grumbled as I punched a hole in the shoulder of the guy who called me a whistling demon.

“You’re comparing people to cockroaches, you fucking bastard.”

It might have been better to kill him to prevent the spread of that grotesque nickname, but I endured it because it was a bit excessive for the guy who immediately ran away leaving behind those who drew their swords at me. Seeing that, Celebian burst out laughing and shook her head.

“I’m arriving in the city in a little while, but I thought I’d run into bandits.”

“…that’s pretty shit.”

Of course, even that ‘in a little while’ was an elf’s sense, but it was close by human standards. It is a distance that an ordinary person can reach by walking in half a day.

Now, if you just pass by the city where you can barely see its outline from afar, you can reach the ‘forest located not far away’ that Celebian talked about. Because of dealing with the thieves, the sun was already about to go down, so I decided to stay in the city for one more day.

At least, I was less angry because I was able to cover the lodging expenses by robbing the pockets of the thieves.

“Hmm, I can understand why the orange-haired magical girl robbed thieves… No, was it brown hair?”

Now recalling the long and difficult memories of my previous life, I hurriedly moved on before the gates of the city closed.

Fortunately, they were elves who were good at walking, so they arrived faster than ordinary people. The city seemed to be in the middle of the end of the checkpoint. The line of adventurers, upper wagons, and farmers who came to sell the by-products of the village was much longer than I expected.

“I’ll be able to get in soon.”

“…Yes.”

Of course, by the standards of the elves, it was ‘soon’, but that was the case. There are so many things I want to say, but I don’t care about the elf who has just come out of the world, so I passed it moderately and stood at the back of the line. .

“Oops, how are you? Glad you got here before the city closes.”

That attitude was closer to feeling good about having someone to talk to than having other selfish interests, so I responded with a smile as well.

“Because I met the thieves before I came, I didn’t think it was very fortunate, but after hearing what you said, there are some things that are fortunate.”

“Ah! You’ve come to the place where those bastards are? Actually, I ran into them on the way too. It’s good that they’re taking tolls, though, and the cold sweat from that time still hasn’t dried.”

He must have had a stake in the money in my pocket. While the eyes of the elves went to the location where my money bag was, I moderately accepted his words and continued the conversation.

“I guess you just arrived?”

“It’s not like that. The line was very long. But this is a big city in this area. But the line has been reduced until just now, and suddenly it’s blocked and doesn’t move.”

“Is there even a truth?”

“It seems like it’s a bit noisy, but… Hey, wine friend! Can’t you hear something?”

He asked in a loud voice, waving his hand at the person who seemed to be four or five teams ahead of him. Did we all get together and have a meal in the middle? How did you talk to the person in front of me?

In any case, the man called wine turned his head to his call and answered with both hands over his mouth.

“The guards are very upset! It seems that a great person has appeared!”

Ha, are you a nobleman? Then it made sense to hit the fuck up and block it. The carriage owner seemed to have the same thought as me, so we made eye contact for a moment, shrugged, and asked one more time.

“Did even a noble appear!”

People in between would say that they were noisy, but everyone just listened to their conversation, probably out of curiosity. It was very funny, so while he laughed briefly, an unexpected answer came out of Wine’s mouth.

“I don’t know! Eldemua Degarana Egarana!”

“…Fuck?”

Unbeknownst to me, swearing came out due to upbringing. Then, the carriage owner, slightly surprised, looked at me with a face of both wonder and curiosity and asked.

“Do you know the name?”

“…very… well… I know.”

I’ll wash it.

In an instant, the memory of the fucking impersonator I had experienced in the Ethiel adventurer’s guild came to mind, and my impression rotted away.

No, but there’s something to be gained, so there’s an impersonator here?

“It’s probably better to come and see.”

“Oh, be careful!”

Even though it was my first time meeting, I responded appropriately to the concerns of the carriage owner, who treated me very warmly, and as I moved forward, the eyes of the dissatisfied people in the queue turned to me, then quickly returned as if they had seen something they couldn’t see.

As much as that, my face now perfectly represented my mood. I had no intention of hiding it.

“…Do you want Giseo to do the same?”

Little by little, the closer we got to the gate, the louder the buzz. And by the time I saw with my own eyes that the normally connected line had been cut at a distance from the gate, as if a dangerous object had been placed, I could see the unidentified back of the head facing dozens of guards.

He was large, and the ax and sword he carried on his back were also large to match. Even so, it was a one-handed ax and a one-handed sword, but it was large, perhaps because it was made for that

size .

Go back to find what you lost while fighting? It would be faster to break through here.”

Huh, did the rumor spread already? To be honest, I thought he was a swindler who cheated on what happened in Kelvast, but he was an idiot with extraordinary intelligence.

I couldn’t see his face, but he must have been frowning, and the look of the guards looking pale and fixing their spears was really ugly. But more spectacle was the two knights standing in front of them.

Those kids were scared too. It was so absurd that I openly cursed at it.

“Hey, you idiots. Does it make sense for knights to peck at a kid just by hearing his name?”

At that moment, the tumult that arose as I stepped forward, and the movements of the city’s troops, who had been trembling as they replaced Cadmia, stopped.

“…brat?”

The only thing moving there was the big Tsadmia. Perhaps the purpose was to intimidate, the guy slowly turning around had a very stern face.

And he looks a lot uglier than me.

“Fuck, with that face, it’s kind of like a kid. I had to say that he’s like a bandit boss.”

“…Are you saying that you know that I am Eldmia Ega?”

As he turned to stare at me, I heard the sound of the string pulling back even further. Wanting something, I looked back and saw that everyone had believed Tsadmia’s words and had seen something terrifying in the world.

Among them, there was also a group of Celebians who were watching with interest as if they were leisurely following along and watching the interesting things in the world. I’ll turn, really.

“I bet my hand that you are not Eldmia Ega. What can you bet? Your life?”

“Ha, Cakula’s ax will drink the blood of a knight and the blood of a kid who lost his head.”

Maybe that’s why I got this bastard, maybe he’s actually an actor? At that level, I had to see him as a psychopath who really believed he was me, or a theater actor obsessed with method acting. When he pulled out an ax from behind me, even the guards and knights backed away as if it were about to cast some kind of magic.

“Haa…”

No matter how much Kakula was an orc, he didn’t even pick up a battle ax.

It’s absurd to talk about kakula with a rather large logging axe, so I can’t even laugh.

“Excuse me… Mr. Zadmia. First of all, this ax was ripped off by Kakula, not Kakula. There are so many fucking things I hate about that, but there’s a new addition to it very recently. Do you know what that is?”

“Jap…what?”

As I spoke while holding the real Kakula’s ax that was on my back, his gaze turned to the axe. As he pretended to be me, he didn’t know what the ax looked like, but what came to his face was ‘Are you really going to attack me?’ It was a bit of an impression.

“That’s an impersonator, you fucking bastard!”

And that was the last emotion he felt in his life.

I suddenly closed the distance and rushed in, slashing the ax at his head with anger.
