Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 522

Prisoners strictly kept their verbal promises.

Rather than recovering the dragon’s leg, they prioritized sending the personnel waiting outside the barrier inside.

Up until now, due to the pact with the demon king’s army, it was impossible to tell the truth about the dragon called the wind king externally, so he showed a coercive attitude and threatened him, but now he thought that it was no longer necessary. While maintaining a kind attitude.

Thanks to that, I had to spend time explaining the sudden change to people.

The process of convincing people was definitely tiring, but it didn’t feel too hard considering that we were able to provide enough rest to those who couldn’t take a proper rest even in the city due to financial problems.

Of course, the rest period that Warchief Redel provided in exchange for the dragon’s leg was three weeks. In the first place, it was a full and full reprieve from our point of view, as we had neither the intention nor the ability to stay that far.

In fact, at first, I wondered if I was looking too lightly at a large number of 20,000 people, but fortunately it wasn’t like that. The beastmen moved quickly under his command and set up tents for living in the meadow, and the lack of supplies were filled with the help of other paw tribes.

As I heard later, all the tribes of Eight Footsteps came together to help.

“It’s no exaggeration to say that those who have been recognized by Krul are our family, so it’s no different than a member of the tribe slaying a dragon.”

I wondered if it was a bit strange that the Wind King not only provided such extensive support, but also prepared a grand celebration for the dragon slayer, even though the rear legs of the Wind King were huge.

At first, it was a good thing anyway, so the atmosphere was generally comfortable and favored.

However, it took less than three days for everyone to notice that the celebration they were preparing for the dragon slayer was as large as a festival, and on the fourth day, without anyone ordering it, they voluntarily started helping with the preparations for the festival. did.

No one complained about the atmosphere. People quickly realized why the prisoners accepted them even though they did not inform them of the details.

It’s been a long time since I had a comfortable break in a relaxed atmosphere, but I wasn’t included in it.

While I quietly watched the shamans and priests of the church sitting together in the large tent prepared by the prisoners and exchanging opinions, Emmett, who had just entered the tent, approached me and asked quietly.

“How is our warrior’s condition?”

At that question, my gaze naturally turned to the bed the prisoners had placed. And after seeing his unchanging appearance for five days, he gave a small reply.

“No change.”

It’s been five days since the hero, Eldmia-sama, complained of fatigue and took a break.

He still doesn’t open his eyes.

Emmett looked around at the well-known shaman and high-ranking priests of the Order who had gathered at Eight Footprints, sitting together in earnest conversation, took off the coat he was wearing, and threw his staff into the air to make it look like a clothes hanger, then hung it on it. After letting it go, I approached Eldmia-sama.

“Magical power… is stable. While I was gone, there was no damage to the magical organ…”

Although he did reveal a lot of money, he was the most skilled wizard among our few wizards, and he did not have any other shaman or cleric. Like the others, he did his best to understand Eldmia-sama’s condition to the extent that he could.

In case anyone knows of a case of falling into suspended animation after killing a dragon, he recklessly used space movement magic to visit all eight footprints, and finally returned. He must have been tired in many ways as well, but he did not show the slightest hint and only walked towards me after a brief examination.

“It’s a pity that there are not two dragon slayers. If something happens, I’ll say something, so get some rest. Judging from the way you look, it looks like you haven’t been able to close your eyes properly for three days.”
“it’s okay.”
“Well, that might be the case, but I don’t think my employer’s heart would be like that. Wouldn’t it feel a bit like that when you wake up after a good night’s sleep and a haggard party greets you?”

It sounded like a lighthearted remark, but it was a point.

Even though more than ten talented priests and shamans had gathered, the cause was unknown. The only abnormal symptom is that he just continues to sleep. It would have been a different story if there was a problem with the body, but Eldmia-sama, who was lying on the bed, was sleeping soundly without breaking a drop of sweat.

“…That’s right.”

I didn’t realize it because I was in a daze hoping that there would be an improvement, but after hearing his words, I belatedly remembered that I hadn’t slept for about two days.

It was certainly ridiculous that the complexion of a person who was moving normally had a worse complexion than that of a person who had suddenly fallen asleep and had not woken up for several days. I couldn’t even remember the last time I had a meal, so I ate something and got up to get some sleep, but my eyes suddenly turned around and I had to be supported by Emmet.

“Did you really not move?”
“It can’t be. They’re the ones who don’t budge.”

I was just not in a hurry, but the shamans of the tribe and the clergy of the church were keeping an eye on Eldmia-sama’s condition to see if there was anything wrong with them, and they were practicing holy laws and magic.

I don’t know if that really means anything. However, their argument that there might be some influence because they fought while receiving the blood of a dragon exposed to the influence of evil spirits had some merit, so they just let it go as they wished.

Personally, I just wanted to tell everyone to rest, but if I didn’t do that, I couldn’t stop them because they seemed to be anxious and about to die.

“I hope you wake up at least before the festivities begin.”

The celebration begins with the holy sword Este inserted into the dragon’s corpse before Eldmia goes to sleep, saying that the remnants of the evil spirit must be eliminated tomorrow.

With the addition of the beastmen from Eight Footsteps, it was crowded enough to believe that it was in the middle of a bustling city center, but the beastmen really enjoyed their work and prepared, and the reality that the party who had been with them so far were fugitives and the fatigue of the march was relieved for a while. I was in the middle of having fun with the prisoners while putting it off.

I can’t pour cold water on such an atmosphere, so Eldomia’s condition is a secret that only a few know.

“I’m going to take a break as you said. I’ll have to offer them some food as well.”
“Oh my God, there are so many people with the utmost sincerity. You look like a warrior.”
“That wording needs some correction.”

I corrected the wrong expression while looking at Emmett who asked a question with a puzzled look on his face.

“It’s like an ‘ideal’ warrior.”

Since ancient times, there are more warriors who have not received public support, so the expression ‘like a warrior’ was not the right word.

Emmett said with a small smile, ‘I see.’ In a word, I agreed with my opinion.

◈

It is a familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling.

No, the expression ceiling was inappropriate. This empty space had no boundaries or divisions. I just rely on the sense that I am standing on my feet and distinguish between the floor and the ceiling at will.

[…It’s a bit embarrassing for me to say this, but what the hell are you doing?]

Lady Epaga greeted me with a consistent look. If there was a difference, it was that, unlike then, the expression of embarrassment was evident.

“It’s a bit embarrassing for me to say this, but it seems like you’re doing a lot of things worthy of the name of a warrior.”

In response, he took a posture as if he were praying and made an example with a joke.

The difference was there for me too. Epaga’s voice still made my head and body vibrate, but unlike the past, it was quite bearable. At this level, I think I can listen more comfortably than last time.

[You’re aware that you have enough room to throw a joke, but you don’t know where that room comes from.]

In the last meeting, Epaga didn’t move a single step, but this time, she got up from the white throne and came to me. Then, a feeling of heaviness that was incomparable to when we only had conversations pressed me again.

“Hey, Epaga-sama?”
[Be patient. In order to know your condition properly, you have to shorten the distance.]

If that is a level that can be solved by narrowing the distance, wouldn’t it be possible to solve it by just sitting down? The word went up to the end of my chin, but it went in.

It was because I confirmed with my own eyes that the distance between Epaga and me, which I had felt was just a physical distance, was a matter of a completely different dimension.

Until she took the first two steps, it was normal, but the moment she took the third step, Epaga-sama’s body, which I thought was roughly the size of Cheryl, grew as big as mine.

[Even though you understood that it wasn’t a normal space, did you think that this distance was common?]

Lady Epaga, who was quite serious, burst out laughing after reading my reaction. Then I felt more pressure than when I first met, and I almost lost my mind.

[This is the limit for now.]

It was really fortunate that they recognized me even without an explanation. I couldn’t even talk anymore, let alone joke. I thought I could get there in 20 steps, but it took only 4 steps to make such a difference. You have no idea what the hell will happen if you reach right in front of you.

Epaga-sama, who looked at me for a while in that state, opened her mouth only after she turned around and returned to the throne.

At first, I thought it was consideration for me, but…

[You can see the fragments. A piece of divinity that does not belong anywhere.]

…As soon as I heard Epa’s words, I changed my mind.

Isn’t this treated as heresy because it’s intertwined with the remnants of evil spirits a lot?
