Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 380

The last raucous dinner with Ekatrina and Rellie, who was half-forced to come to her aid due to Seneran’s strong insistence, also came to an end.

Later, there was a small incident where Yekatrina and Asillie got drunk while working on a masterpiece, but even that was a part of a fun meal time, so everyone was able to laugh. Although Asilie wouldn’t be able to smile the next day.

Fortunately, in the meantime, I was able to ask for the understanding of others, and I was able to come to an agreement to talk slowly after taking a good rest for this week. Even to the royal family, Master said that he would deliver the message himself, so there was no need to step out.

In the end, I decided to be grateful for the break I was given, even though I laughed at the ironic situation of taking a break at home after all the hard work while looking for a winter vacation.

Of course, that didn’t mean I could really stay at home and do nothing. I had to properly dispose of the currency exchange jewels I had earned in the West, and I felt at ease only when I supplemented the necessary items in case of an emergency and finished the inspection. He swore that he would be back before evening and went out into the streets.

[walk! Excited!]

With Leica, who slept at home for almost a month without me. I laughed again when I saw the guy shaking his butt.

Despite all that, the capital didn’t seem to have changed much. Well, even in the war that lasted for several years, he was fine, but it would have been strange if there had been a change due to the appearance of a lot of orcs.

Still, if I had to find something that had changed, it would be that the weather got a bit colder and more people flinched violently when they saw me? Those who reacted as if they saw a person they thought dead was alive and walking, they hurriedly avoided their steps or hid themselves in an alleyway.

Maybe some damn impersonator somewhere else is selling my name and gaining notoriety. If I didn’t know at all, I wouldn’t have considered such a worry as excessive self-consciousness, but after experiencing it twice, it felt like a very reasonable doubt.

Other than that, it was an extremely normal daily life in the capital. From the morning to the bustling streets and the people on the move…

“Is it real…?”

“It must be fake. Are there only one or two people like that these days?

…everything is normal. I was going to say it…

I heard a short conversation between those who showed an unusual reaction to me and the Leica. When I turned my head, two of my young friends made eye contact with me, then hurriedly lowered their gazes and quickly disappeared somewhere in the alley.

I didn’t dare to go after them, grab them, ask them for details, or wonder what they were talking about.

Even if you didn’t do such a hassle, it was so obvious what the situation was.

“Really sick impersonators.”

Thanks to that, I decided where to go first.

◈

The adventurer’s guild was crowded with people from the morning as it had suddenly reached the peak winter season due to the orcs.

At other times, it would have been a time when only adventurers crawling back to their lodgings after being drunk until dawn, or newbies browsing the quest board in search of additional income to survive the winter stably, but the combination of salty profits from emergency quests and orcs had the power to force people to be sincere.

But that did not make even their hearts good or altruistic.

“Ah fuck get out of the way! It takes a year to get a request!”

“If you don’t have the skills, get out!”

“You bastard, that’s the request I took first!”

“It’s a problem with the late pup, what bullshit?”

In front of the bulletin board, there was an unusually severe physical fight and swearing. The heat was so excessive that the weak new adventurers had to sit down and wait for the rough atmosphere to subside.

It’s already been three weeks since this kind of atmosphere has become prevalent in the guild. Most of those who fought fiercely were new faces never seen before in the capital city, but that doesn’t mean they’re new. Rather, most of them were mid-level adventurers who rolled and rolled in other places.

“You bastard without morals, me and you bastard!”

“Oh no, I was thinking there were too many bugs. Come on!”

As soon as they heard rumors about a large army of orcs, they smelled money based on their long experience as adventurers, and flew out of the city they were in and flew to the capital paying expensive gate fees.

As for the request, no matter how much the guild mediates, the amount will inevitably vary from city to city. Since money did not spring from the ground, it was a very natural story. At least, I usually balance it as much as possible to prevent adventurers from focusing on a specific area in pursuit of money, but urgent quests have a very strong tendency to solve the problems they face by solving the problems they have as much as possible, so it has to be different from usual.

In other words, it means to throw as much money as possible without worrying about balance.

As a result, it was natural that urgent requests in large cities were more attractive than in ordinary cities, and adventurers who knew this fact weighed their skills and gate costs and flew to the capital as soon as they were convinced that they could do enough. come. It was the result of rationally choosing the city closest to the case and the most wealthy.

In fact, their expectations were right, and the Orc subjugation request was posted on the bulletin board at twice to 2.5 times the usual price, so there was no good news for those with skills.

But the problem was that it wasn’t a trade secret that only a few knew.

Normally, there would have been few people who moved because rumors spread late, but since this incident was the first emergency that occurred near the capital, it was a fact that everyone in the know already knew that the royal family even mobilized flying dragon knights to spread information to nearby cities.

As soon as they heard the news, there were those who joined the Orc subjugation party, and there were others who moved with the mindset of wanting to scrape money in an easier and safer form. Just like those who are arguing in front of the bulletin board right now.

Those who came to the capital, spending even their own money to make a profit, had only the thought of raising and protecting rice bowls. They mobilized all of their experiences and fought fiercely at a level where sanctions from the guild did not come in. Swearing and fist fights are standard, and in severe cases, it was common to go behind and slap rivals in the back. Then, there were cases where they were robbed on the contrary, but most of them took advantage of those who were weaker than themselves.

Because of this, Engrim, the head of the capital’s adventurers’ guild, whose hair had clearly become empty due to increased anxiety over the past month, had to watch the dogfight in front of the bulletin board in his office with a deep sigh.

“There are no real assholes.”

In fact, the fact that there were more people carrying or carrying dogs also played a role, but above all, the problem was that the number of people who naturally came up with the word ‘unlearned people’ increased too suddenly and a lot.

The blockade order prohibiting the movement of adventurers was useless in front of the gate.

It was only natural that they could not prevent movement through the safe gate, as the purpose was to prevent them from ignorantly stepping forward on their own two feet and dying. Normally, more talented people would have to come forward and warn the culprits of the mess or make them notice by acting territorially, but this time they couldn’t.

The reasons were quite diverse. The reason was that most of the adventurers participating in the Orc Subjugation Corps, who were forcibly sucked down to the marrow of their bones even if they offered a reasonable amount of money, went on a break, and the reason was that, due to the nature of the capital, there were fewer adventurers with superior skills than in other dangerous areas, and just before the Oak Gate Incident broke out. It was also the reason that some of the adventurers who could be called middle-class were killed en masse at the hands of Eldmia.

I wanted to hold on to anyone and ask if things could go this far, even if things were twisted, but Engrim, who couldn’t because he was the guild leader, eventually spoke to the visitor with a gloomy face.

“Garun. How could it not be?”

“Ah, you’re asking about the obvious. That’s beyond my ability.”

Calmly picking up Engrim’s treasured chocolate and eating it, Garun shrugged. He was famous for his scouting, and he knew that he was not intimidating at all because he was a skilled person only recognized by those who knew him.

Rather, if he went down there right away, those who recognized his face would be counted on one hand. I’d be glad if you didn’t laugh at me.

“I’d rather kick out the guild door now and hope that Eldmia-san comes in. Right now, I can see insignificant things imitating you, so I’ll probably start giving half of it as soon as I come in. Do you know that?”

They giggled and laughed, but it wasn’t as comfortable as Garoon’s speed.

It’s just that they went over to the expedient and did that, but most of them were people who shouldn’t have been here in the first place. It couldn’t have been nice to see them, blinded by their greed to earn more money, abandoning the city they were in and harassing even the new recruits here.

Even swindlers who imitated Eldmia dragged mutts who didn’t listen and made all sorts of mess. Right now, even in front of the bulletin board, there were not one or two scammers looking at each other.

“Oops, that friend must have been very angry today.”

A young man came into Garun and Engrim’s eyes. Among those who were originally active in the capital, there was no one who did not know who he was who had just joined the guild.

“This chewy!

Balus, the most ardent follower of Eldmia.

In a short period of one month, one of the new adventurers who was recognized for their diligence in the guild, who worked really hard and ferociously received requests, collected money, and thriftily equipped their equipment, showed up at the guild.
