Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 382
All names in this world are only one in the world, or there is no such thing.
It is said that somewhere in the world, there really is Eldmia, Ega, and Eldmia Ega. So, even if the guy whose jawline was just smashed at me proudly shouts, “Go to Eldmia,” it can’t be stopped, and even if it’s really referring to me, it’s the guild’s position that if you throw a joke on it, you’ll have no choice but to let it go.
Even those who know what I’ve done right now are taking refuge in a corner like that. Even if you block it or block it, it’s a damn thing. I understand that much because I don’t know the sorrow of those who manage it.
So I beat the guild’s items carefully so that they wouldn’t be smashed. It wasn’t too difficult. It was a job that only had to break the jaw in one shot. After beating the three guys like that, the guys in front of the bulletin board took care of themselves, so the matter was resolved very quickly.
“As a reminder, my impersonator in the west got its head split in front of the guards. Don’t forget that the biggest reason you’re still alive today is that you never got to see my impersonator in person.”
As well as the fact that even pretending can break your jaw.
The guys who couldn’t even answer properly nodded their heads and left the guild, and I turned my head to a familiar face as I watched the dogs running away in pursuit of Laika.
“Look at it again. This time it’s not bad, but it’s different.”
The guy who didn’t look like he was beaten so badly just smiled at my words. I don’t know if he can’t stand injustice or not, but it was true that he was helpful in disposing of Szadmia, so I took a gold coin out of my pocket and put it directly into his hand.
“Get treated properly.”
No matter what the intention was, it was also for the recognition that there could be benefits from fighting Tsadmia, so it was not a waste. Of course, the fact that he was unintentionally making money in the West also played a part. After waving his hand appropriately to the guy who was surprised to see the gold coin, he approached the receptionists, and there were faces he hadn’t seen in a long time and faces he hadn’t seen before. Thanks to that, the gaze was a little awkward, but for now, I conveyed the purpose of the visit to finish.
“This is Eldmia Ega, who returned from Raviel Pioneering Village Security Request Support. I’m going to make a progress report.”
It’s about a month late, but I’m looking at it.
◈
Unlike the new faces who made strange faces after hearing my words, the existing receptionists acted quickly. As if I had been prepared in advance, I was guided immediately and went up to the second floor, where I was greeted by the guild leader Engrim and the adventurer Garun, and was able to sit down.
Engrim, who took a piece of chocolate from a chocolate box that was more empty than he had seen before and ate it, put it down on the table.
“Since it’s already been a month since the incident, we’ve shared the rough story with the royal family and figured out the situation. Thanks to that, we know that Eldmia-sama’s contribution was very great.”
It was a situation where humility would rather be deceptive, so I had no choice but to nod my head this time.
Of course, there are quite a few ungrateful people who say that the orcs who lost their escape because I closed the gate are still making a fuss.
However, I can assure you that the number of orc villages I saw and slashed until I reached Kelvast across the prairie beyond that gate was more if there were more than those who came over here, but it was not less. If the situation at the time, where they could not easily push the frontlines even with the mobilization of flying dragon knights, had been maintained for a few days, Ethyl might have been greeted with proliferating orcs like the Soviet army, which knocked out 25,000 more after 20,000 tanks exploded.
Even if opening the gate is only temporary, it is clear that Kakula is a sorcerer, so he must have opened it in a shamanistic way. In the end, shamanism is the ability that the more people involved die, the more souls can be used. It is said that if many orcs died, it would have been able to ‘temporarily’ open again. It must have been a blood-drying day due to the endless offensive of Orcs.
It is said that it was the Duke of Lesrom and the Princess of Messina who uttered an argument similar to my opinion and silenced all voices of dissatisfaction. In a different sense, it was like receiving help from two reluctant people.
“So, what we want to hear is about the prairie that Eldmia-sama experienced in the process of returning later, rather than the incident.”
Even if it was a staggering coincidence, it was more like an orc, a monster that was treated like a mere beast, using the gate to launch an air raid. It is said that corpses presumably belonging to demons were found in the dungeon where the gate was located, so the possibility of demons intervening could not be ignored this time, but it is also true that Kakula had the ability to recycle them.
What was considered improbable has actually happened, and now we must be fully prepared for the possibility of the same thing happening again. What Engrim wanted to hear from me was a personal opinion about him.
“You want to know if instances like Kakula are common.”
“That’s right. It’s not that there aren’t orcs in Isthiel… but they’re very different from the orcs of the steppe.”
Monsters with some intelligence will have their own civilization if their own ecology is maintained for a long time.
In the process, just as geniuses are born among humans, there are often cases where mutants that can be called geniuses occur among monsters, accelerating their development. In fact, there are records in the history books of goblin colonies that forged weapons and armor directly.
Even so, the hostility toward humans remains the same, so humans must constantly exterminate and destroy monsters to prevent them from becoming cumbersome enemies by building a civilization. Like animals, it would be nice to be able to make them extinct, but like the creation of dungeons, monsters don’t know where their roots start and the seeds never dry up, so just continuing quarantine is the best option right now.
And Etisel is a country that has worked hard on quarantine. There was a demon right in front of me, so a problem suddenly erupted, but if the monsters exploded together, there was no answer, so I’ve always been an adventurer since the beginning of the country.
Well, that doesn’t mean the Western Kingdom was lazy. It’s just that the prairie itself is not human territory, so we have no choice but to let go. Rather, it can be said that he is very sincere in that he even creates a walled city called Kelvastra and acts as a defense line for mankind.
Even so, Kakula came out. Of course you have to set boundaries. But even after understanding all of that, I was able to speak confidently.
“Personally, I think absolutely not.”
If you insist, it’s right to think that the bastard is like a hero given to the orcs by their ancestors.
However, in order to do so, the premise must be established that the ancestors of those who have died have truly settled down in their Valhalla, the steppes of the sky. ? It’s clear that everything these bastards believe in is nonsense full of contradictions.
So, my conclusion was that Kakula was nothing more than an irregular born by thorough coincidence, not an arrangement by an ancestral god. When such opinions were presented in moderation, both Engrim and Garun listened with interest and nodded.
“It’s a valid guess. This time, it might be right to assume that the demons got entangled there and there was no luck.”
“Even those demons were killed by the Orcs, so it would be difficult to see that the two cooperated.
It may sound too optimistic, but it didn’t have to be bitterly pessimistic. As for the details, real experts will discuss and come to a conclusion anyway. After that, the three of us talked for a while and presented various hypotheses, but no variable that would change our opinion came out.
In the meantime, Engrim’s chocolate had dwindled and he drank three separate cups of tea, and we were able to wrap up our conversation by the time the bathroom started running out.
“I think this is enough. Now we are talking about the reward, but I think this will be given along with the reward that the royal family will provide later.”
Engrim handed over a money bag, saying that it was because the royal family had to treat a hero who handled a major case appropriately.
“So, you can see this as a token of appreciation from the guild, not as a reward. I heard and felt that you were active in this incident… but if it wasn’t for Eldmia-sama, it would have definitely not ended like this. Thank you very much.”
“…isn’t that too much to say thanks?”
It was not, but it contained three times more than the original request. But Engrim shook his head with a shy smile.
“In fact, it’s not only a sign of gratitude, but also an apology. An apology for not completely preventing the unsavory incident caused by the self-proclaimed Eldmia.”
hmm. I had no intention of holding the guild accountable, but there was no need to refuse the money they gave me, so when I accepted it moderately, Engrim added a little comment.
“Still, these people will disappear as soon as the royal family gives them an official reward, so please be patient.”
Impersonators do not disappear simply because the royal family gives them money. Engrim’s words were close to indirectly hinting in advance that a medal of honor or a title would be intertwined with this reward.
If it was a title, it would be very fucking hard to move, so from my point of view, a medal was better… It would be very, very annoying if you waited without knowing what was coming and received the title, so it was a situation where you had to meet someone in the end to find out anything.
There’s no way to contact the princess with a leech first and face her, so it’s time to go to the aristocratic house.
