Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 63

gate.

It is said that demons do crazy things such as moving an army in one shot through a gate, but it is still a long way off for humans.

Still, it’s just that it can’t move hundreds of people at once, but it does its job as a means of transportation. Thanks to this, in this half-hearted fantasy world, the gate reigns as an absolute means of transportation and transportation that can be chewed up while snoring at airplanes and trains.

As much as it is a movement that allows space to leap, it is understandably filthy expensive.

It is said that it is due to the maintenance cost and the considerable cost of building and maintaining a kind of battery that allows even low-level wizards to open the gate without any problems… well, let’s come. Excluding the initial investment cost, it is my personal opinion that it will be eaten much cheaper than the viryong, which is not easy to break.

anyway. It is said that there is a way to connect the gate to the gate on the other side and fix it at all, or to connect the passage at that time like adjusting the radio frequency, but the general gate is of course the latter. It wasn’t about dividing the subway line, but considering management and maintenance, it was a natural story.

A gate like the former is a kind of hotline, so it is a privilege of the royal family or those who are equivalent to it, which even a few nobles do not have a chance to use. If used without the permission of the king, summary execution for treason is possible, so it is truly bloody.

“It’s also the gate we’re going to use today.”

Unlike when he left the house, Ragnis, who was strangely nervous, spoke while maintaining a calm attitude as much as possible. Even if she was building up her strength again, the title of Marshal would never be a bad position, but she was so nervous that it was hard to see normally.

Why are you so nervous after being kidnapped? It is impossible to ask, but this visit to the Empire has a lot of meaning from her point of view.

After all, no matter what, she is a Marquis on the front line of the kingdom. It’s not just limited to the kingdom, it’s also the front line of the war between demons and humans. If the kingdom can hold out like this, one day, with the help of warriors, it was a state of duty to go out on the battlefield and restore the country. I don’t know if she visits the empire and reveals her skills while comparing her magical talents to the warriors, but it must be meaningful in many ways.

Besides, are you a warrior? If it goes well, won’t it be a big help?

“You shouldn’t be too nervous. Take a deep breath.”

“Is it so conspicuous?”

“It’s like a wooden doll. It’s prettier and more dignified than ever, so relax a little.”

“…That’s right?”

In the end, the first button of all impressions is appearance and behavior, so even if it seems snobbish, that’s the only thing I can praise right away, so I said it, and the response was better than I expected.

“Yes. That’s enough. As long as there aren’t only beauties gathered around the hero, there’s nothing to worry about even the hero…” “What are you saying, you

crazy guy!”

– Damn!

Ragnis, who had been laughing with his face flushed, burst into anger beyond his sudden expression and struck the bat with lightning speed.

It hurt so badly that I almost cried at the moment, but I was so genuinely angry that I couldn’t even get angry and couldn’t refute it.

No what the hell…why…?

◈

The wagon, which had become a very uncomfortable thorny cushion after the palms left on my cheeks, ran quickly and arrived at the gate with Ragnis in a state of rage and me squatting. I wondered if it was hidden somewhere secretly, but there was no such thing, it was just a little more strictly guarded in the gate hall in the center of the capital.

Even though I lived in the capital, it was a new feeling to step foot in a place where I passed by every time and glanced at the outside only once… but I couldn’t even notice it because I was noticing the angry Ragnis.

When I reached there and got off the carriage, Radnell Vandes, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, welcomed me. Even after a year, the still huge and warrior-like body of the wizard was armed with a more luxurious look than he was accustomed to seeing.

“It’s been a while! But why does your face look like that?”

I guess it wasn’t an illusion that I was still throbbing. Maybe it will swell later?

“It’s been a while, Sir Radnell Vandes. This is… by chance.”

“…tsk tsk.

Perhaps the great Battle Mage is the owner of superior insight that can guess a situation he hasn’t seen with just a little bit of evidence. Radnell Vandes, who rolled his eyes just twice over Ragnis and me, clicked his tongue and patted my shoulder. That moment when I was about to be thrilled as if that touch was comforting me, swept away by unjust violence.

Although there is not that much difference in size, Radnell Vandes, who is still taller than me, bowed his head slightly in my ear and whispered the words that I did not expect at all.

“If people don’t notice, the body suffers. Be careful when dealing with women. You have to be careful again.”

“No, didn’t you notice my injustice and encourage me?”

When the tears of emotion flowed in and instead of the resentment soared, he refuted reflexively, Radnell Vandes shook his head without a moment’s thought.

“I assure you, you have nothing to be unfair about. Keep my words in mind. Whatever it is, take time to think about the situation again later.”

I answered with such firm and resolute eyes that I couldn’t bear to refute further.

her! what the! Is this body over 30 years old mentally ignorant? her! I’ll try, but I’ll never do that.

…isn’t it?

“His Highness said to have a good trip. I’d like to see you off personally, but this time the invitation didn’t come via the kingdom, so it’s hard to face it.”

Radnell Vandes, who naturally conveyed the story to Ragnis about me, seemed to have a few more stories after that.

Of course, I didn’t need to know that far, so I heard it with one ear and let it go with the other. From the rough invitation method, the intention of the empire is obvious, but considering that the content was like let’s do our best, I could understand that Ragnis had a lot of things to worry about.

“I couldn’t even say hello properly because I wasn’t in a good mood earlier, Sir Ega.”

While the two of them were talking, Lenissa, the actual head of security, approached and said hello. It seems that he was bothered by the fact that he just said goodbye and moved on.

“It’s natural to prepare the guards of the Marquis. Please take good care of us for a short period of time.”

“I have been informed of the story, albeit informally. To hear that you have been entrusted with the role of secretary and bodyguard, please take good care of me.”

Originally a person who served the Levien family, he is also the owner of extraordinary manners and loyalty. It might feel very ambiguous that I, who is close to a stone that has suddenly rolled in, taking on the role of secretary, but I felt that I completely trusted Ragnis’ judgment.

“Haha. Don’t worry. I learned something from the Ogatorpes, so I won’t do anything to harm the name of the Margrave.”

“Huh-huh. It’s very reassuring.”

Whatever the case, it’s a good sign that you can start the week off with a co-worker in the same uniform.

“Then I will open the gate.”

Hahahoho and short friendship while organizing the story, Radnell Vandes and Ragnis ordered the party to wait according to the manager’s instructions. As I approached the woman who beckoned with a disapproving expression, Ragnis looked at me with mischievous eyes and asked,

“You won’t be in a hurry by getting on the gate, right?”

At the moment, I almost said that I went to the demon tribe on the gate a few days ago. Still, it was quite a confidential request, but it was almost exposed in an instant.

“I’m more curious about what the Empire will look like than riding the gate.”

He barely held back the tickling in his throat and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be nothing.

“Well, I’m going to ride at least twice so I can look around for a while.”

“Huh? Twice? Aren’t you going at once?”

“Such long-distance movement is still impossible with human sorcery.”

Whoa. I thought it was omnipotent, but there were unexpected limitations. While the demons were amazed at the story that they could not move such a long distance, the manager who fixed the gate coordinates sent a hand signal and the movement began.

Well, as much as I had already ridden it, there was nothing to worry about. Because it was all about walking. Just in case you didn’t know, it just took a little while for all the people on the wagon to get off and move.

“Fuck you.”

But personally, it was not good because my senses were confused again. I don’t think it’s because I’m not used to it, considering that other people don’t have that many gate rides in their lives, but maybe they’re overreacting to magic.

“It feels like all my senses are twisted.”

“Where’s the bad?”

“No. I just got a little dizzy.”

Arriving somewhere in the unknown imperial territory, while the next gate was being prepared while the procession followed, I wiggled in the hope that I might get a clue about the use of magic, but nothing came of it.

Unlike the kingdom gate, the imperial gate opened faster as if it had been prepared in advance, and we got to the next gate before the people in the back arrived.

The land of the empire I had stepped on for the first time since I was born was much more splendid than I had imagined.
