Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 45

It took quite a bit of haste to get to Ragnis’ house after leaving the equipment repair, so not much time passed.

Now that I have time to spare, I think he called me through a person rather than a carriage, but unlike me, who just needs to become stronger, Ragnis has so many things to learn in a short amount of time. The only help I could give now was to help me solve my business as quickly as possible so that I didn’t waste time.

Ragnis’ house is not that big because it was originally the villa her family used when visiting the capital. Of course, it was tailored to the aristocracy’s senses, but even in my senses, it’s to the point that I think it’s quite small for a noble.

My last memory was that Ragnis was living with only a handful of servants in such a villa.

“This is the guest the Marquis asked to bring. Do not accept other visitors until further instructions are given.”

“I see, Sir Renissa.”

But now something was very different. Two men stood guard between the main gate and the main gate, which could be reached by walking ten steps, and there were even troops patrolling outside the brick wall.

Looking at the soldiers alone, it seemed like they were protecting any military command, so I was slightly intimidated without even realizing it.

“What happened? The atmosphere is quite different from the last memory.”

Passing through the guards in a strict and solemn position itself, I went inside and asked Renisa, but no satisfactory answer came back.

“Recently, many things have been drawing attention. I think the Marquis would like to talk to you about the details.”

Passing by the familiar servants and maids and reaching the office on the second floor, Lenissa stopped walking.

“The Marquis told us to guide you only this far. Then.”

Although she was polite towards the guest, Lenissa bowed before I could properly respond, as if she had no intention of being asked any questions in carrying out her orders, and then turned around and went back the way she had come. It was uncomfortable because it had a harder impression than any other articles I’ve seen recently, but it might have been better.

With that thought in mind, I opened the door as soon as I knocked.

“Listen… no, if you’re going to, why the hell did you knock on the door?”

“To let people know that no single door can stop Eldmia Ega.”

“Really… It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but it’s starting with nonsense.”

Laughing over his bewildered expression, Ragnis put down his work in progress and stood up.

The modest yet luxurious red dress went well with her hair, which she had grown long since coming to the capital, as if it were a set. In fact, apart from what suits me, I thought that wearing something like that while sitting at a desk to work would be quite an ordeal, so I unknowingly pointed to a corset and gave advice.

“Hey. Don’t wear a corset. Get out the ribs.”

“Eh, what are you talking about as soon as we meet. To a noble, taking care of beauty is also work.”

“It’s not the beauty that will make a difference just by doing one of them, so I recommend just removing it.”

“…Huh, huh. You’re saying you’re pretty without these?”

“uh.”

It wasn’t the old Ragnis who couldn’t eat well. It wasn’t even a short time, but she has already received numerous intensive cares, and her health and beauty have improved to the point where they are incomparable to those of the past. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the level of difference that would make a difference just by putting on or taking off a corset was already overdone in the past.

“Heh, hehe. Then, well, throw it all away later.”

“Yes. It really hurts you. Throw it all away.”

Hernia and internal bleeding can cause all sorts of side effects. Even in a world where healers exist, thinking that someone you know wears something dangerous like that is bound to frown.

Still, seeing him make wise decisions like a smart kid made me feel relieved, so I decided to get down to business while sitting on the sofa.

“Anyway, it seems like it’s been a while. What did you call me for?”

“As you said, it’s been a while. To see your face, and to talk about the big things that happened recently.”

Sitting on the sofa across from him, Ragnis waved the bell on the table and continued talking after stretching for a long time.

“Studying was easy, but I’ve been too busy lately because of the noise at the Imperial Spiritual Assembly.”

“The name came out completely unexpected. Why are they?”

I think the only time I heard about the Imperial Spiritual Assembly in my life was when Asilie heard that a hero had been selected in the past. Still, I expected that it would be very large considering that it was possible to directly determine that it was a hero through an oracle, but it was strange to hear that it was related to Ragnis.

“One of Master’s disciples went to the empire to train warriors, and I guess my story came out there.”

“What’s there to say about you? Did you compare pretty girls?”

“Yes..! Heh, hehe. Has Eldmia’s speaking skills improved?”

“It’s so funny. Anyway, why did you come out?”

“They say the hero’s magic talent is similar to mine.”

hmm? I feel like I’ve heard something calmly and unluckily.

Calmly organize your thoughts. Still, when talking about the talent of a hero in name and color, there is a greater chance of mentioning the name of someone with a genius talent and giving high praise than the possibility of saying ‘Your talent is very ordinary’ by suddenly mentioning the name of an ordinary person. isn’t that high?

Doesn’t that mean that Ragnis’ talent is genius?

I was a bit puzzled by my conclusion, so when I asked Ragnis back, she folded her arms and puffed out her cheeks as if her pride had been hurt.

“Why is this like this? I’m Radnellvandes Akrisan’s disciple? Even though I didn’t learn proper magic when I was in Ogwen, even though it wasn’t helpful, even the master admired the mana management and magic theory?”

“No, wasn’t he just a physical wizard whose hobby was to receive disciples?”

“I don’t know what kind of magician that is, but Master is one of the most famous people in the kingdom.”

“Yes, he’s a Battle Mage, but if he’s that strong, I think it’s possible…” ”

That’s true, but as you said, Master is a Battle Mage who has crossed a wall that even ordinary wizards can’t easily overcome. Not everyone accepts disciples. You only get it when you see it for yourself and there is a possibility.”

oh god Not only Ekaf was great, but Radnell Vandes must have been an incredibly great person. Ragnis even has the talent to admire such a great person?

“Eldmia, you seem to have little notice or know nothing in a really strange place.”

“I wouldn’t have even pretended to hear it if it were another time, but this time it seems to be a bit like that.”

Am I living without paying too much attention to the world? Later on, I’ll have to periodically buy a newspaper that’s being sold on the roadside.

“Anything like that. Anyway, you mean that the hero is so good at magic that he can be compared to you? But why?”

“… After talking with the educators who gathered to teach the hero, the idea of arranging a meeting with talented people who could be of help to the hero came up.”

It’s not some kind of blind date app, what kind of meeting are you talking about?

“Anyway, it was said that the story was meant to make further progress in the education of heroes if people of similar age who are outstanding enough to stimulate growth come together.”

Is it encouraging competition? It’s a reasonable idea. But I don’t think a hero would be put in a situation where he has to encourage such a competitive spirit. I don’t know if the educators are treating it with the idea of ordinary people too much.

“Is that why you got really busy talking about coming and going?”

“That’s right. I don’t care about my circumstances and when I don’t come, I send a letter like it’s strange, so Master jumps up and doesn’t make a fuss.”

“It seems that there are no normal people among the people called the Empire.”

I would be very happy if a kid who is working day and night to fix his family collapsed right now would come to the boot camp with a smile. Aren’t they too complacent that it’s none of their business?

Of course, there are cases where the opponent is a hero, and if you approach it with the idea that there will be nothing left after the demon army wipes out all of them, there is nothing to understand… ”

When he was chosen as a hero, I don’t know if he still does. Sal? I think there were rumors that he was selected around that time.”

So, I mean, it’s already been 6-7 years, but even after gathering such famous ilta instructors, are you finally going to see the effect through peers…?

“Wait, Ragnis. Is that really the purpose of a hero’s education?”

Come to think of it, it’s a bit strange. Even if you’re a hero, you don’t fight alone. Just like a party in a game, the warrior moves along with those who are said to be the best of the time, aiming for the demon king.

So, if you thought about the education of the warriors in the first place, it would be better to run it as an academy where everyone studies together from the beginning, rather than gathering and stimulating geniuses from elsewhere.

Because warriors need allies.

Since they are genius instructors who will gather anyway, it would have been much more advantageous if they had educated together with the feeling of finding future colleagues. Even if they weren’t selected as the warrior’s colleagues, the candidates would have had better skills than they do now while going through the same educational process as the warrior. Then it would have been easier to engage in battle.

However, the Imperial Spiritual Assembly did not make that choice.

“Isn’t this just a place to show off the strength of a warrior?”

Ragnis’ eyes widened slightly.
