Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 95

“Didn’t it end pretty neatly?”

Esmuer said as he greeted us who had finished the schedule with words and gazes of longing or envy toward the brave enough to be fed up with as the finale.

“It was ridiculously easy.”

“Honestly, I was afraid that it would be too easy to finish with magic and spirit magic at the same time. It was a really good decision to defeat the envoys with only the sword.”

At Esmuer’s answer, Zeke sneered and approached Esselua and the other women, but I couldn’t easily pass her answer.

Even if there are two more days left, isn’t it better to show results clearly? Starting with the laxity of the warrior’s education, it was not easy to understand what the subtle appearance that was constantly shown meant.

At first, I thought it was just to put a leash on the hero and use it, but as time goes by, it feels like it’s not a problem that will end so simply.

“You look like you don’t understand.”

There were times when I didn’t hide my expression, but after reading my question, Esmuer smiled and said,

“I can guess why, but it’s not something to talk about here. Let’s move.”

I looked at Ragnis, wondering if there was something going on while we were in the dungeon, but she understood my gaze and shook her head as if she hadn’t heard anything clearly.

“You worked hard for the empire, so shouldn’t we have a meal together?”

Esmuë alludes to Zeke, who was about to leave, as if he was about to leave, but Zeke waved his hand away without looking back.

“I’m done. Eselua, why are you following an uncomfortable seat?”

“Have you ever made Yeo’s sister uncomfortable?”

“Then let’s say I’m uncomfortable.”

Despite his own recommendation, Esmuer didn’t call him anymore, as if he had expected Zeke’s refusal, and in the end, only the three of us, including Ragnis, followed her to the carriage and left the academy to eat.

As soon as the carriage moved and left the front gate of the academy, Esmuer opened his mouth.

“Don’t you feel the Empire’s attitude towards the hero is strange?”

It was a question as if it had pierced my mind at once. If it was another time, I would have thought about the answer, but since the other person is Smuye, I felt that such worries were futile, so I decided to be honest.

“If you ask me knowingly… can I consider it your intention to tell me?”

“Isn’t it a place where we are together? It’s okay to talk comfortably.”

“Then without hesitation.”

I decided to take it lightly, not knowing what effect it would have on this icy human relationship if I insisted on using an honorific title. Looking at Ragnis, who doesn’t show much reaction, and Esmue, who clearly likes him, fortunately, it seems that he made a good choice.

“Of course, I brought up the story for explanation. In fact, it was also the fundamental reason why I invited the Marquis of Levien directly in the name of the empire, not the kingdom of Isthiel. , It is safe to say that the results were rather better. Since you will not be participating in the practice from tomorrow anyway, I thought that there would be no problem if I spoke about it, so I brought up the story.”

“…will you explain why my practice participation is important?”

“Whoops. It would be nice if you could understand it naturally, but even if you don’t, I’ll explain as much as you like.”

Then Esmuer, who was looking out the window with a brief thought while rhyming, asked where to start talking, continued to speak while touching his lower lip.

“To begin with, the Empire’s goal is to make all kingdoms move voluntarily in the face of the threat of demons.

“…I really don’t understand the connection between goals and actions at all?”

“First of all, Eldmia. All achievements of the hero were not built right after the hero was found by receiving an oracle from the Imperial Spiritual Assembly.”

Esmuer, who seemed to be contemplating what to say a little bit, but kept his mouth shut, looked at me as if I understood what he meant. And in the silence she offered, I could intuit that the story she was trying to tell was by no means common.

The first thing that comes to mind is Zeke’s hatred of heroism.

Now he is establishing himself by forming relationships with Eselua and other women… but did he act like that from the beginning? Did they treat him kindly from the beginning?

Of course not. If nothing else, he didn’t like being reincarnated in another world.

So, how long did Zeke remain uncooperative with the Empire’s education?

“half a year.”

Did my expression change so quickly that it was easily recognizable? The answer to my question jumped out of Esmuer’s mouth.

“The brave Siegfried has learned in a short period of half a year and has reached this point.”

Esmuer asserted with a tone and facial expression without a hint of joke, but both Ragnis and I couldn’t help but doubt our ears.

◈

“It’s natural if it’s obvious, but at first I was embarrassed. I’m sure he was a warrior who was found according to an oracle, but no one thought that the hero himself would be so uncooperative. Even now, I don’t know why he was so uncooperative. ”

After arriving at the restaurant, Esmuer’s story continued as he ate the luxurious food.

As a reincarnated person like me, interpreting Sieg’s words in my own way, I understand what was dissatisfaction, but in fact, from the point of view of the empire, it must have been seen as incomprehensible behavior and dissatisfaction.

The abilities of the warriors are sufficient, they even provide free education, and even glory and rewards are promised. It is as if there is no option from the beginning to not prepare for war in the yard where it is obvious that the entire human race will not be able to avoid war even if the warriors do not step forward anyway.

If you can sympathize with a boy who doesn’t even lift a hand with the mindset of letting everyone die even though he understands the whole situation, it’s clear that he’s a character whose mental state should be questioned.

“In the end, somehow, there was a change and they followed the education, but it took only three years to get there. Of course, we couldn’t wait to trust only the hero.”

To train the military more thoroughly, reorganize the academy’s curriculum to focus on war and actual combat, and hold a meeting every day to make even rebellious warriors as useful as possible. Fortunately, unlike his uncooperative attitude, his hostility toward monsters and bandits that harm the people was clear, so he was able to receive help from the hero in that way, and in the process, his relationship with other women, including Eselua, progressed.

After half a year, the Empire noticed that the surrounding kingdoms were acting strangely without a moment to be satisfied with Zeke, who began to show sincerity in education.

“They think that saying that the peace has been too long is actually absurd. Isn’t it natural that the longer the peace, the better?

The empire is greedy. Why did only the Imperial Spiritual Assembly point out the hero? Why are the other gods silent? In fact, trust doesn’t exist, etc.

At first glance, it may be valid, but if you peel the skin, it was a rumor that stemmed from severe distrust and arrogance. In fact, they came to the absurd conclusion that it was not a big deal when they heard through intelligence that Etisel was desperately maintaining the front line.

Without even thinking about how many people died for years to maintain the front line and live in the war without being able to return home.

So Esmuer thought the other way around. If they think so, let’s pretend they really are.

Ithiel and the Empire join hands and use the demons as an excuse to try to suppress neighboring countries. Deciding to amplify that suspicion, she delayed Zeke’s education.

And at this opportunity, the unfinished figure of the warrior is revealed to the whole world. The appearance of a hero who does not yet have the strength to come out of mythology will naturally remain a relatively easy existence in the eyes of the kingdoms.

And based on the information accumulated so far, the kingdoms come to a conclusion.

If it was an empire to put forth a hero who is within the human category, although he is quite strong in dealing with the demons who can withstand Ethiel alone.

Wouldn’t it be possible for them to mobilize their troops and recruit the best warriors in the kingdom to take part in the war of Ethiel and take away the gains they are trying to monopolize? conclusion that.

“They thought they would give up if it was something they could never reach. Even if it really brought great benefits to the empire, how would they dare to dare if a hero could truly cut mountains and seas? Believing in the growth shown by the hero… It was a kind of gamble.”

Then, unexpectedly, I appeared, defeated the warrior, and cut down and killed the young lion of Rudra.

“Of course, when I first received the report, I thought that all the plans had gone wrong. This part was not a woman’s plan, but a part that was left to chance, so I couldn’t have predicted it. I found out after a while.”

Because Nara did not come from within the Empire, but from Ethyl, it suddenly created a synergistic effect.

Regardless of whether the hero is strong or not, in the end even a human who has not received an oracle can defeat a hero. That’s when opinions started to emerge.

So far, the prevailing opinion is that the Empire is just a rumor, but it will change from today, Esmuer said.

“If the empire was trying to use them, they would use a strong warrior as an excuse to threaten them. Why would they show weakness…”

It makes them believe that they have captured their weaknesses and makes them move.

Once you engage in a war, you can never step out. Since they are a threat to mankind as an excuse to participate in the war, they will come with all their might, arguing that it is natural for the entire kingdom to step forward.

I’d regret it later, going through the battlefield, but that didn’t matter anyway.

The oracle was handed down, and the empire and the imperial family had determined that the current situation was a threat to mankind.

The only goal is to somehow survive by mobilizing a lot of support and troops.

“If all countries had provided stable support to Etis-L from the beginning, there would be no reason to take such a complicated and risky gamble. But…you guys know better about it.”

lip support. Or financial assistance. It was an absurdly insufficient support to say that they faced a situation that was called a threat to mankind.

Even within Itthel over that issue, the King’s Faction and the Aristocrat’s faction were split and engaged in a political fight, and Ragnis himself was caught in the gap.

“That’s why he was the Marquis of Levien. The result of finding someone who would share this fact and sincerely do his best for a better future. I think the royal family of Itthiel also has the right perspective on this matter, but In the end, there is a possibility that you can turn your head as much as you like. But haven’t you had the experience of not being able to turn your eyes away from the demons?”

Ragnis, who had been listening to the story with his mouth shut, remained silent.

Unlike me, who doesn’t know much about Zeke, I had no idea what she was feeling, so I had no choice but to keep quiet.
