Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 394

Thanks to Mr. Gaendal who explained the situation after ordering the food, I was able to respond with a complete astonishment.

“If you see a low-flying flying dragon, you think I’m going to jump down. Is there a framer like this?”

“Framed? How could that be framed?”

Seeing the reactions of Seneran and the people around me, who responded to my words as if they were rather ridiculous, I said confidently.

“I also jump from high places.”

“Oh my God, is that the part that catches the pod?”

“This is a serious matter.”

Unlike Seneran, who shook his head and gulped down the first drink, the others burst out laughing, and I laughed too.

Even though we met after a long time, the effect of the jokes based on facts was clear, so we continued our meal in a more relaxed atmosphere, naturally sharing our current situation. The conversation with them was certainly enjoyable, but the purpose of coming here was not to promote friendship, so when the noise around them increased and the meal was finished to some extent, I slowly brought up the main topic.

“Just sitting there for a while gave me a sense of what the atmosphere was like. How did you guys do today?”

“Not at all. Magic tools are useless now.”

Seneran let out a long sigh and tilted his glass, took something from his bosom and pushed it towards me, then continued.

“It was a slightly improved magic tool that can find places with high concentration of magical power, but it caught on for a while, and now there is no trace of it. It must mean that we are getting used to hiding our magical power.”

“Are you sure there are still demons nearby?”

“That’s certain. Rather, it’s a problem because it’s so certain. I have no idea why you’re staying. The reason I’m looking for you.”

It was so noisy that even I, sitting at the same table, couldn’t hear it, so I didn’t really care. Doing this reminds me of the first time I met Gaendal Party and had dinner at the guild. It seems very old, but looking back, it was only a few months ago.

“Well, I know that, so it doesn’t matter. Rather, it’s better to find out why you’re looking for me in ‘here’ by enduring various risks. I don’t know if that’s the main goal or an additional goal.”

The first thing that immediately comes to mind is Gate.

They’ve already touched the capital of the empire, so I don’t think it’s impossible to build a couple more gates here. Maybe he’s digging into another strange dungeon and doing the same thing over and over again. It may be that the reason why they wander around the port is because they have already secretly made a hole through which they can escape.

If that’s the case, it means that they are excellent in their ability to act. When the characteristics of the demons are substituted, such a person is usually of high status, and if it is a person with a high status while working behind the scenes, there is a possibility that he knows who ordered the raid on our village.

There are plenty of reasons to deliberately sell out and try to catch them. While thinking about it, the empty bowls were removed and a tray full of grilled shrimp filled the place. On the way, Ekatrina seemed to be ordering something, and I think that was it. I wasn’t particularly hungry, but when I saw something to eat, everyone’s hands picked up their forks and headed for the shrimp, which only had flesh left.

Except for the wizards. They were still awestruck at the sight of the warriors getting food into their stomachs, and tipped their glasses over peanuts as snacks.

“Personally… I think it’s an extension of what we saw in that request.”

When Gaendal, who had similar thoughts to me, opened up the water, the others nodded as if they agreed. In addition, Gin, who had been gently stroking his beard until now, added a word.

“Maybe they’re making the same thing that Eldmia destroyed. This is a story I heard from an acquaintance, and they said they captured the situation in which a huge explosion occurred in the territory of the demons at the time.”

Seneran didn’t bother to ask or intervene, even though he put on an expression that he didn’t know what he was talking about. He seemed to already know why we had no choice but to have a casual conversation like this without her. I wasn’t particularly surprised as I had already been swept away by the aftermath of that mysterious bomb, but Rellie, Ekatrina, and Gaendal made serious faces when they heard Gin’s story. Maybe I’m reminiscing about the scene where I was thrown out.

Personally, I don’t think mass-producing such a thing is going to be as easy as it sounds, but I decided to keep my mouth shut for now as there is nothing to be sure of. As a result, there was a moment of silence between us, but soon Mr. Gaendal changed the subject with a deliberately cheerful tone.

“Rather than worrying about something unknown right away, it’s much more beneficial to take a good rest today and face tomorrow. Rather than that, I want to know why you’ve come all the way here? Did you decide to accept a request?”

For some reason, not only Mr. Gaendal who said that, but also other people began to send expectant eyes. It was Seneran who was the only one there to look at me with a detached attitude, axe-eyed.

“I can’t because I have a schedule, so open your eyes Seneran.”

Even if there is a contract, I do not intend to be forced to restrict my actions. Likewise, when he opened his axe eye and spoke, Seneran’s eyes immediately became kind.

“Hehe, that schedule must be a study after all, right?”

“It’s precisely because of the event that will be seven days later. I received the rewards that I had been putting off until now.”

“…prize?”

At my answer, everyone looks at me with puzzled faces this time. Come to think of it, even though Esmue’s letter was discovered, I never had a chance to talk about what happened in the empire. I decided that it wouldn’t matter if I spoke a little faster since I was being formally praised on this occasion anyway.

“I once saved the first princess from danger in the empire. It took some time to decide on the reward, but this time there will be a service ceremony along with the achievements made in the kingdom. .”

Dalgrak.

The hands of the party who were using their forks to snack on the plump grilled shrimp stopped at the same time. Rellie and Seneran, who hadn’t even touched the shrimp, dropped the peanuts they were about to take to their mouths.

It felt like a joke to see them stop at the same time as if they had made a promise, but they couldn’t help but laugh because they couldn’t help but be shocked as if it wasn’t funny at all.

“Uh… yes, of course Eldmia solved a lot of big cases in the kingdom. I understand that, but she saved the princess of the Empire? The Iron Blood Princess too?”

Following Yekatrina, who panicked as she was about to drop even the shrimp she had put in her mouth, Gin shouted as if she had realized something, banging her knees.

“Oh my God, that’s why you were able to send such a letter by cheating! Certainly, if you’re a benefactor who saved your life, cheating like a love letter must be very natural!”

No, that was half steamed…

If I explained it properly, it would almost certainly add to the confusion, so I paid attention to it, but I didn’t know the hot reaction would subside. In the meantime, Lellie, who had been drinking non-stop, said that she seemed to have heard nonsense after being drunk for a while, and escaped from reality.

“Ega-san, tell me honestly. Did you catch a dragon when you went to the prairie?”

“If it’s a dragon, you caught a dragon at the academy.”

“…what?”

Of course, it was the great devil beyond the salt dragon, but it was so well known externally that there was nothing special about it. After reminiscing about Rellie, who had momentary cognitive dissonance, and Ekatrina, who burst into laughter at the sight of such Rellie, I made sure that my memory was not wrong and added it.

“Besides, it’s called the Fire Dragon’s territory, but there were only pure Orcs.”

“Look at the reaction, it’s even more absurd to think that we would have really fought if we were there.

Except for Seneran, who is looking excitedly, everyone’s eyes are shining brightly. After all, it’s an adventurer.

“By the way. How did this happen? Looking back, even when the Orcs were just taking a break for the first time in a long time, they asked for a request.”

But what came back was Ekaterina’s cheerful shoulder straps, which took my words as a joke.

I was in so much pain that I almost cried.

◈

Although it had been a long time since they had gathered together, the Gaendal Party greeted the morning without leaving a trace of hangover. Since they are very talkative people, they probably drink a few beers like water. It was always the wizards who suffered.

“Then let’s go. Seneran, please let me know as soon as there is additional information related to the demons.”

“Ugh, that’s not difficult… I heard you came using the flying dragon and the gate? Go already? Do you go in a little while?”

It was obvious why he said that even when he was half-dead. He must have wanted to make sure that I was studying well while he was away. I was also disappointed in many ways, but this time there was a variable, so the excuse of being late wouldn’t work, so it was better to move quickly even if money was a waste.

“It would have been if the gate had worked, but it’s not possible. If you get caught up in a strange incident and get back late, there’s no answer.”

If the location of the demons was confirmed, I was going to deal with it and go, but since it was not like that, it was better to go back quickly as I promised to Asilie.

“That’s also true… Then after you’ve done all the work, if this side continues like this, will you come?”

“It’s a waste of money, but it has to come. It’s a good opportunity, right?”

A chance to catch the demons.

After hearing my answer, Seneran put on an expression that he would look at all crazy people, and the others just let out a blank laugh.

That’s how I got on the flying dragon again with a lot of money while being seen off by them.

The next city is only a few hours away, so I’m pretty sure nothing will happen this time.
