Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 12
3The most dramatic change to Ogwen over the years was by far the walls..
The wooden fence disappeared and a stone wall appeared, but it gradually became stronger and a gateway was created. Unless you are a fool, this was the part where you could see how the Kingdom of Itisel views Ogwen..
Even though there had not been a single attack near Ogwen since the attack six years ago, they had no intention of neglecting it. Ogwen gradually began to function as a fortress city..
"stop. I will verify your identity.."
"Wow, that's really great. Every time you see me, you have to stand like this?"
"Cluck cluck. This is a poor cooperative attitude. My older brother said he was just going to look at my younger brother's face.?"
I didn't bother to take out my pass and show it to Alec, the gate guard, who was smiling and stroking the horse I was riding. Because it was a joke anyway. But Alec, who had really stopped me while stroking his horse, cleared his throat and started crying..
"hmm. Hey, if it’s bothersome, introduce me to a girl.."
"This is absurd. My older brother, who has lived in the village for 20 years, asked Eldmia, a boy from the mountain valley, to introduce me to a girl.?"
"Ah, why is that there? I'm staying at Aunt Alicia's...."
"That's one or two?"
The war continued, and unlike three years ago, there began to be more orphans than runaway teenagers in the city. I don't know what policy they are implementing, but a significant number of refugees have flowed into Ogwen, and although I tried hard, I was barely able to handle it on my own. We gave a chance to the kids who came and went, but there are only about 20 kids left..
Now, Aunt Alicia's inn is not just an inn, but acts more like a daycare center for such children. With the help of those around them, the inn, which originally had a capacity of 7 people, was expanded to accommodate up to 25 people, and is working to provide relief to the poor in Jeolchan-ri in collaboration with the Holy Light Cross Society, which is the only religious facility in the village and worships Ete, the god of light. And our curmudgeonly lady looked much more enthusiastic and happy, as if to prove her character. She feels it every time, but there really is no saint. Is she really a saint or is she really a saint??
Anyway, it was clear that the fact that this person was saying these things to me meant that he was slandering one of the six girls among the twenty..
"madam. That brunette girl! a little chubby!"
"ah. Remiri?"
I burst into laughter without realizing it.
"You have to figure it out on your own. Why are you asking me? Goes."
"Ai, really. hey! hey!! Oh really!"
Remiri, a girl with long hair, is already popular in the surrounding shopping malls thanks to her excellent work ethic and cheerful appearance. She worked so much that she could be called the poster girl for Tex's now-larger clothing store, and with her comings and goings, she must have set the heart of Alec Miller, the eldest son of the Tex Miller family, racing..
But why the fuck do I help other people with their relationships? I have no intention of feeding a guy who doesn't even know why Remiri works at Tex's clothing store instead of finding a better job..
I've been treating you like this since morning. sit arm.
"older brother! How are you today?!"
"No, why am I your older brother? Please don't embarrass me. If you are 4 years older than me, keep your stamina.."
A tall young man, who would have been about the same height as me if he got off his horse, stopped to talk to me while carrying goods in front of Milena's grocery store. This guy with bronze skin and reddish-brown hair introduced himself as Jin when we first met him, and had joined Ogwen about a year ago. They say he is not from the kingdom, but from a foreign country across the sea called Radan..
Aside from the fact that I was astounded because I couldn't even imagine how he came to Ogwen, which is not even a port city but at the end of the inland, at such a young age, I was very sincere in looking for work, but at the time, my expression was a bit rotten and I was devastated. As a result, merchants who felt intimidated were suffering from problems such as avoiding them..
I fell in love with Eldmia Egar, a man who doesn't judge people based on their looks, and started looking for work with great enthusiasm..
"What does age matter! He knew more than me, was mature, and even provided a home for me! It's my brother.!"
"It's going to spin, really.."
The problem is so damn glaring. Because he already has a lot of energy and works a lot, he earns a lot of money, so he eats well, and he also has a loud voice, which stands out in many ways. If only villagers visited, Ogwen now boasts a floating population of half villagers and half strangers. Even if it's early in the morning, it means there are a lot of people. I have a similar physique, so I don't think it looks weird to other people, but... I'm just embarrassed..
In the end, it was decided that explanation was faster than persuasion..
"I'm going to the guild to check if the kids are working properly.."
"hmm? You mean the Adventurer's Guild? Why are you there??"
"No, why? How many times will I tell you? In just two years, I will become an adventurer and head out into the world.?"
"yes?! Wasn't that a joke??!"
"No, why do you take that as a joke??"
On the contrary, when I asked back because I was dumbfounded, Jin, who was looking at me with a puzzled expression as if I was even more dumbfounded, said as if it was natural..
"No, what do you regret about your brother, living such a mayfly life? Not an article?"
Mayfly life. It wasn't particularly wrong. Because it’s not a job full of adventure and romance..
I don't know what Jin's past was like, but this guy immediately recognized that I had trained him quite a bit, and as soon as I saw him for the first time, he asked me if I was a trainee knight, which embarrassed me. Perhaps he believed that I was training to become a knight. Still, he speaks in a quiet voice, unlike before, as if he has noticed..
"They say I have to cut off the head of the devil's army commander who destroyed our village.."
"So shouldn’t you aim for the article??"
"At what time will I become a knight? At what time and on what battlefield will I meet him?."
The war against the Demon Lord's army has reached its sixth year, but there has been little progress in what can be called success..
Of course, if there had been an incident worthy of publicity and morale-boosting, a proclamation would have been issued, but there was no mention of the monumental beheading of a village raider on the outskirts of Ogwen. Finding the hero was the last good news..
The enemy whose identity is unknown is ultimately still alive..
"It's typical of my brother to have a unique idea. As a commander, you are expected to lead the army, so this is an idea that not just anyone can do. How can you think like that??"
"Isn't the idea of acting as an assassin and catching the guy leading the army much wiser than the idea of joining the army and catching him??"
"Because I felt that way, I said he was like a big brother.."
I don't know what he's looking at, but this guy doesn't listen to the words I say. I think he will really try and succeed. That kind of reaction makes him uncomfortable for no reason..
"Anyway, I'm going. Doing your job well."
"yes! If you stay until lunch, let’s have a meal together.!"
"okay. Seeing it."
I waved my hand appropriately, got back on the horse, and headed towards Jans' blacksmith shop. It was not difficult to spot Jans' shining head leisurely smoking his pipe while the apprentices stoked the fire in the blacksmith's furnace..
"I have come with permission from Asilier.!"
"already? Isn't Asilier raising her too much??"
It was the most meaningful event of the day. After several sparring with Asilier, she finally allowed me to carry the true sword..
'I don't use a sword anyway... I'm not a kid who can't kill people just because I don't have one..'
Although it was closer to a verification of character than a certification of ability..
"My sincerity just shined through."
He flipped the long sword he was carrying on his back with its sheath intact..
"There is no reason to wear it on your back anymore! to me! belt!"
"her. I thought she was just pretending, but she was thinking straight.?"
"what. Uncle, you've been looking at me like that for years.?"
"Cluck cluck. Honestly, I did. Still, I feel at ease because he is a guy who has his thoughts straight. It will take about an hour, so come back after playing.."
Jans flicked off his pipe and went straight into the blacksmith shop. As I calmly arrived at Alicia's inn, calming my pounding heart, a busy scene from the morning unfolded before my eyes..
From priests wearing the uniforms of the Holy Light Cross to all kinds of outcast kids and now kids who have completely shed their outcast looks, it was so hectic that I wondered if this was really early in the morning..
I had heard that they regularly receive supplies from the Holy Light Cross, but this was my first time seeing it in person, so I was quite embarrassed, but it seems that was not the only reason..
"Sewer cleaning crews gather here. Receive the bread distributed by the priests!"
"Lunch boxes are ready for the boys who were hired to repair the castle walls.!"
"The delivery men come into the inn. There's still time left, so I'm resting inside.!"
Lately, I haven't come early in the morning, so I just come whenever I think of it, but before I know it, Alicia's inn has become a human resources office for outcasts..
No really? The person with the ability to do this was hidden among the kids.?
