Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 97

After dinner with Esmuier, we rode back to the academy in the carriage.

Normally, we would have contacted the mansion through the restaurant attendant and had a carriage wait for the restaurant, but Esmuye, unlike himself, who had to return to the academy because he still had work left, was mildly grumpy about going back and resting, and dragged us back to the academy. went in

I just laughed it off because I understood the regret of that action, and Ragnis still reacted in a funny way, but he didn’t bother to say anything. After a brief farewell with Esmuer, we headed for the waiting carriage as if we were transferring.

If there is a little difference, it is that the reaction of the students who bumped into us during that time was completely different from yesterday.

Even Ragnis took it for granted, so I had to get on the carriage in a dumbfounded mood. Fortunately, Ragnis, who understood my feelings well, explained that our treatment was close to changing from temporary students to envoys, so even the approaching students disappeared.

Do you feel like it’s the country’s job from now on?

Well, I thought that it was understandable, but I wondered if it was quite amazing that the students could adapt to the situation by changing their attitude so quickly. Perhaps they can accept even being suddenly drafted into soldiers overnight? After thinking about it, I wondered if even such a change in consciousness was part of the education induced by the empire.

“From tomorrow, you don’t have to escort Esmuer.”

Ragnis said in the carriage that was running towards the mansion after a long, long, short day.

“Are you envoys now?”

“Yeah. Why? Are you sorry?”

It was a reaction that was so obvious that I could only laugh, but it was my situation that I couldn’t even laugh, so I had to manage my expression as much as possible.

“It’s not because you asked me like you were asking, I really have no idea.”

In the first place, the Eldmia Ega service, which clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs, has already been in a working mode in most situations after coming to the empire. In the meantime, there was just a surprise incident.

Of course, there was a big change in my mind and notice due to the sudden event, but the reality was that I was still distracted.

“You mean you didn’t like it?”

“It’s hard to openly hate someone who says they like me.”

Above all, I am having the most peaceful time in recent years.

Rudra’s mutt didn’t even fit into the stress axis, and even the field trip today wasn’t a big deal. Rather than feeling like I came to help Ragnis for a week, I felt bad because there was even a person who said I liked it in a yard close to the yard that was in the mood of a sudden vacation.

“…I guess so.”

I don’t know what I understood or understood, but Ragnis didn’t particularly express dissatisfaction with my reaction.

“You know what? I was very nervous and anxious until I first came to the Empire, but I didn’t feel any discomfort after only staying for five days.”

Instead, he brought up another topic and looked out the window.

“Unlike the affluent life in the capital of the empire, and the atmosphere of the kingdom flowing as if dancing on a blade, the high-ranking officials of the empire, including Marquis Bende, moved very cooperatively. Since this is the case, the war against the demons and territorial recovery are far away. It just feels like a story.”

“I can relate to that part.”

Would you have imagined that I would end up living in an academy all of a sudden, living my life from childhood when I didn’t know if I would have to do a hardcore survival in another world?

Even a few days ago, he received a secret request from the Adventurers Association and cut the heads of demons and people, but even that feels far away. I’m sure if it was a different situation, I would have even thought of wanting to settle down like this.

For example, a situation where I have already completed my revenge.

“But nothing has changed.”

Naturally, this temporary feeling did not last long. And I thought it was the same for Ragnis.

“That’s right, Eldmia. Although…Esmuer has changed a little, I don’t think I can rest until I go back to my hometown and check the traces of my parents, just like you can’t rest before you finish your revenge.”

It’s a miserable story. No matter how rationally we looked at it, in the end we were both tied to revenge.

It was deplorable that even young children who were still only 15 or 17 were doing this.

“But isn’t there a problem other than not being able to rest?”

“… Huh? What else is that?”

“I told you in the morning. I’ll do it too.”

Ragnis, who got up in an instant without even having time to think about what he had said in the morning, approached from the other side and kissed him.

If you kiss often, you get used to it, what the fuck!

I don’t know what it would be like if I did it with the same person, but it’s not good for my heart to kiss a new girl every day!

Ragnis, who had approached without wavering thanks to the synergy of a high-class carriage and stable roads, retreated only after kissing him calmly and firmly.

“You did it with Esmuer, but the reaction was cute?”

“Is that the same as this…!”

It’s so embarrassing that I don’t even have time to realize that I clearly know what Esmuer did. However, unlike me, Ragnis, surprisingly calm, only smiled with satisfaction.

Was he so confident and active? Since I’m thinking about how… until now, it seems that I’ve been quite active and active since I was in Ogwen. It was because he even involved the Holy Light Cross and did activities to help orphans.

In terms of disposition alone, it’s close to being a warrior rather than a wizard.

“You don’t like it, do you?”

Ragnis intentionally said the same words in a different tone than before, but I had to blush without giving a proper answer until I returned to the mansion.

As if the reaction was satisfactory, Ragnis never lost his smile.

◈

The next morning, without a chance to clear up the shame of being robbed like a public good.

We headed to the gate inside the academy for today’s event.

For today’s event, the group exhibition, we have to move to the mock tactical training ground, but they said it’s a bit far away for security and safety.

“The more I look at it, the more sincere I am in educating the cadets.”

I felt that I was investing so much that I couldn’t help but feel that kind of feeling naturally. The royal palace academy is also quite practical, but the cost of entering the facility is incomparable. It seems that the Empire class is on a different level.

Ragnis, who was escorted by me, asked if he had the same thoughts as me.

“If tomorrow’s schedule is over and we go back, the hero will start receiving proper education, right?”

“I’m sure. I don’t know when I’ll see you again, but then I’m sure you’ll be stronger.”

His swordsmanship is still poor, but his magic is real.

I didn’t know anything else, but I was able to reach that level in just half a year, so if I taught this and that for a year without any scruples, wouldn’t it be strong enough to be counted among the imperial soldiers and knights?

“Hmm. Next time we meet, we might not be able to win, right?”

It was a provocative smile and tone, but of course I was able to respond with a calm shrug.

“We can’t lose to Zeke. If we become strong enough to cut through space before we meet next time, won’t we win again?”

First of all, he is a warrior. God told me to fight the demon lord, but it’s only natural for him to become stronger than me.

It wasn’t something to talk about seriously, so when I answered in a joking tone, Ragnis hurriedly suppressed laughter as if he hadn’t expected it.

“Poop. What kind of space did you cut when you couldn’t even use magic properly? Where else did you hear that?”

“Isn’t it the highest level that is often heard among sword-wielding adventurers and warriors?”

It’s not a joke, it’s a story that’s actually heard more often than you might think.

Of course, it’s a story from the past that seems to be full of pure lies, saying that it’s a sword castle or a legend from hundreds of years ago, but I think it’s a story that circulates more often because there aren’t any people who look like they’re in a similar state.

Well…Whether I can get there is a separate story, but in fact, if I want to get revenge on the commander of the Demon King’s Army, I’ll have to do that much, wouldn’t it be possible?

Then you should try to do it.

As we made up our minds, it was unexpectedly that Etenera was the first to discover and greet us as we arrived at the gate where many students and crowds gathered.

“Hey! Kingdom Knight!”

And to my surprise, he greeted me with a consistent attitude. I really like that kind attitude.

“I’ll see you in one day this time, Ethena.”

“Hahaha! I see! I hear that you won’t participate this time? It’s a pity! I was going to show my skills this time!”

Ethenera, who greeted me with such a cheerful appearance that she would pat me on the back if I wasn’t arm in arm with Ragnis, seemed to have more tension than usual.

“In the first place, I’m going to serve as the party leader in the field trip, but even if I don’t look at it, can’t I know that Etenera’s skills will be formidable?”

“I don’t know what to do with this because you treat it with an open mind. But it’s best to see it with your own eyes. Even if it’s from the audience, keep an eye on this body’s performance.”

Watching him walk through the students smiling happily, I can’t even imagine how sharp Zeke has been living his life. To the extent that even a person with a maximal affinity doesn’t like it, wouldn’t that mean he behaved like a real dog?

While we were on our way to the designated location, we took some time away talking about Ragnis and Ethenera, and soon the ceremony began to proceed similarly to yesterday.

But there was one thing that was different from yesterday.

“As today’s seat, unlike yesterday, is a place where only the warriors and academy cadets show their achievements, I am the first child of the great 13th emperor, Pan Krasi Vistim Tel Noir, who rules the empire, and I will stand by his side to protect the people according to his majesty’s will. The white star of the Empire who is working hard to rule. There will be a congratulatory speech from the first princess of Vistim Tel Noir, Esmue.”

After Professor Wade’s short speech, there was time for Esmuer’s speech.

“Hmm. What do I need to say.

And, starting with a truly amazing self-introduction, a very formal congratulatory speech continued.

Honestly, I don’t think I even listened to half of it properly because I was floundering in the flood of rhetoric.

“Then I will open the gate.”

Anyway, as if it was over, the gate was activated in accordance with her hand gesture. When the gate behind her started to operate with the same flow of magic as when we came to the Empire, I naturally got goosebumps.

Maybe it’s because the amount of mana moving is different, but my body reacts on its own without even being aware of it.

“While the students participating in the group exhibition, led by the warrior, move first and prepare, the audience, starting with Princess Esmuye, will move.”

Students start to move according to the words of Professor Wade, who naturally took over the right to speak from the princess. Seeing that even though there are not a small number of students, they move one by one, it seems to be a gate that is surprisingly small.

“I’m quite curious where the hell they hid it so they use the gate?”

“That’s it. Did you even float it

in the sky ?” Waiting was boring, so while I was chatting with Ragnis, when the students finished moving and the audience started moving according to Wade’s short declaration. A

light dizziness hit me

.

Eldmia?”

Not at the level of giving goosebumps, but the feeling of being wrapped in cloth.

The sight of indescribable vivid colors covering the field of view.

The feeling of being forced to wake up with magical energy in the whole body.

A wizard who was treated as a demon worshiper in an abandoned dungeon It was the feeling of passing through the demonic gate that had been opened.
