Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 124

Perhaps because she had already heard the story while taking a bath, Cheryl naturally came to see me in the room where Asilier was staying..

Sure enough, Cheryl's pickled radish, which was soaring high in the sky, was drooping. I try to act as discreetly and discreetly as possible, but it's already been two years since I've been with this guy, so doesn't he know that?.

"There was some success... Don't do it.."

And that goes for him too. As he spoke as he approached me with great strides, he immediately grasped the situation and spoke clearly. But it's not even a possibility.

"Ugh, look at this. The eyebrows that were always excitedly raised again drooped and became sullen.."

"Don't be sullen. don't."

"Rather trick the ghosts."

He put his hand between her armpits and lifted her shoulders, forcing Sheryl to evolve into Long Cat Sheryl. Even though he works out and has strong muscles, he is strangely light, so he can easily lift it up to my chest without using any magical power..

It may be unthinkable to other users, but my fundamental roots are Ragnis' benefactor and Lord Ekaf's guest..

Even though she maintains the life of a voluntary governess, that fact does not change, and Cheryl tends to adjust her behavior accordingly. I don't know if it's because he's a kid who knows how to play the concept thoroughly, even changing his tone of voice slightly depending on the situation..

Anyway, other than the duties of a butler, the relationship is no different from that of an ordinary friend of the same age..

Even though I verbally told her not to do it, when I actually picked it up, I said to Cheryl, who didn't show any objection as always, while shaking her left and right..

"They say you just need to be good at what you learned at the academy. There's no shame in lacking what you didn't learn.."

"Are you also having no results??"

"I was there. But I was very lucky.."

The fact that the guards at the temporary detention center were idiots, that Duke Lesrom called him after that incident, and even that I met Zikmel were all luck, and that I had a completely new relationship called Shadow Foot. If I hadn't snooped around the newsstand imitating what I saw in spy movies to identify the pursuer, I wouldn't have met Zikmel, and if I hadn't wasted time there, I wouldn't have overlapped with Shadow Foot..

"Today, I was able to see the benefits of actions that were acceptable because I was not a noble, and the seeds I planted four years ago bore fruit in an unexpected way. So don’t fret and compare things that don’t work.."

"...Don't you have any impatience??"

The question she asked was a bit surprising as she showed no resistance in her long cat state..

"About this incident? Not really?"

Since I was a bit rambling, it was difficult to interpret it all at once, so I answered appropriately, and another unexpected answer followed..

"So what about situations other than this one? For example, the process of achieving your goal."

hmm. As a master of Cheryl's language, I had no problem understanding that what Cheryl was feeling in this situation was impatience..

But why did you compare that to impatience with my goal? Do you want to say that since this matter is so important to you, impatience is inevitable??

"It's a bit of a sudden question, but at all."

"Someone else might kill you faster than you?"

"aha. Yes, that might be possible. But I'm already living my life planning and doing the best I can for revenge. In my plan, rushing any further than this would be detrimental. Impatience is something you feel when you have no idea what to do or how well you are progressing according to plan, or when you are not making an effort, so it has nothing to do with who you are now.."

I'm doing my best..

I'm not making excuses for doing my best by doing nothing, but I'm really putting in a lot of effort for my second life. In order not to become a crazy person blinded by revenge, I have learned common sense and gained knowledge so that I can do things on my own other than combat. Of course, there are times when obsessive-compulsive disorder occurs, but that is a separate issue..

7A year is not an easy time, right? Others may say that investing all of those seven years in learning the art of murder is a normal and desirable way to take revenge, but at least I don't think so..

Isn’t revenge truly complete when you can properly prepare and move forward with life after revenge??

Enemy can be fucked, I can be happy.

That's what I need to do to get revenge on the guy who screwed me over and tried to make himself happy..

I definitely intend to enjoy my fantasy life after revenge, and I plan to enjoy my life in heaven for now. To that end, he is acquiring appropriate knowledge at a young age and is also working hard to build interpersonal relationships..

Thanks to that, I am still able to survive without any wise times regarding the life I blindly passed by..

Even though things may not go as planned, there is no reason to feel impatient when we are steadily achieving growth and results..

"I am a commoner, but you are a noble. It is not enough for a noble to be proud alone. It is also important to be able to lead those who follow you and use their abilities to their full potential. In order to do that, you need to have the attitude of trusting and waiting for others rather than trying to solve everything on your own.."

"...So listen first.?"

"okay. Don't panic. Contrary to our fears, it seems that Ragnis's safety will be fine.."

Anyway, I didn't think it would be a good idea to reveal the contents of the conversation with Duke Lethrom before speaking with Sir Ekaf, so I asked for his understanding and continued the conversation..

In fact, even excluding that part, it was quite an eventful day, so there was a lot to say, and Cheryl, who had been lost in thought for a while after listening to the whole story, quietly opened her mouth..

"I feel like I want to step forward as soon as I hear the information about that Shadow Foot guy... but I can't.."

"okay. Since they're following me, this is my problem."

If we make a mistake and get unnecessarily involved, things that could otherwise be resolved can become complicated. I can't mess with it to my heart's content..

"So, if you don't have any other information, are you going to target the slave trader right away??"

"If possible, I want to cut off the people watching me and then hit them, but if that doesn't work, there's nothing I can do.."

What can I do? I have no intention of leaving it alone, so I have no choice but to chase it with its tail. Above all, Asilier also has a burning desire for slave traders. In hindsight, it could be said that Asilier and I met thanks to the slave traders, but I had no intention of using that as an excuse..

After thinking about it that far, a question crossed my mind and I quietly whispered it to Asilier..

"sister? Come to think of it, just how skilled are the slave traders??"

"It varies greatly. Honestly, elf hunters are strong. I study and prepare a lot about elves to the point that I can say I'm hunting rather than fighting, but I'm basically strong. Other than that, it just depends on what type of slave you are dealing with.."

"But back then, the thieves were just thieves.."

"I was unlucky, they were lucky. The slave caravan that was transporting me was attacked.."

"attack?"

It was an extremely unfamiliar story, as I didn't bring it up for fear of hurting Asilier..

"They attacked very quickly and slaughtered the slave merchants. It seemed like they were moving as a unit, not alone, but since they came in the middle of the night, I don't even know who they are. In the process, I accidentally got crushed by a falling pile of luggage and fainted. When I came to my senses, all the slaves had already run away and there was no trace of them. All that remained were the corpses and the thieves who were just searching through the remains of the upper deck.."

The way he calmly talked about memories that could never be called good, while smiling faintly, was just like an elf..

"Still, it doesn't matter anymore since I met L.D. without getting into any more trouble.."

hmm. I'm embarrassed for no reason.

Even though we had been together for years, we talked about things we had not said before and took a break. The sun gradually set, but neither Shadow Foot nor Lord Ekaf came..

In the end, the sun had completely set and it felt a bit like waiting endlessly while looking at the city in the evening, so we all left the room to have dinner, and one of the employees was about to knock on our door..

"Ah, that's good. Eldmia? A guest is coming."

"Is it pooling??"

"yes. He said he would be very happy if he found out that he was here.?"

Shadow Paw's judgment was correct. I quickly jumped down, forgetting about the hunger I was starting to feel. As I hurriedly reached the front gate, I found Shadow Feet wasting time tap dancing barefoot, not paying any attention to the guards standing in front of me..

I was humming a song and dancing enthusiastically when Shadow Paw spotted me, spread his arms left and right, stopped dancing, and shouted cheerfully..

"Hahaha! I'm back dear!"

He is the owner of truly insane high tension. Just looking at it makes me feel good.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shadow Foot. Not in the market? How about having a meal first??"

Of course, the Ogatorf family is not my home, so I can't invite him in, but that can be solved by going out and eating. While I'm leaving, I'd like to at least treat you to a meal..

However, Shadow Paw raised his index finger and shook his head left and right to express his refusal..

"ah. ah. ah! You won't be defeated, nobleman. Being treated to a meal is no different from receiving more than a fairy tale. Even if we say we should each calculate the bill, if the nobleman decides to run and runs, I can't win, right? I'll decline!"

oh my god. Judging by the way he speaks with a sly smile, it seems like he really considers the act of pushing and pulling based on goodwill as a fun joke. Seeing how stubborn he was, it seemed like there was no other way than what Asilier had told me, so I decided to give up..

"haha. All right. Let's give up this time.."

"Good good! Well then, let’s get straight to the point. Actually, it's not that far. The reason it took so long is because these guys also had a sense of purpose and were wandering around aimlessly with the idea of ​​being followed. Of course it was a pointless thing to do. It was so pointless that I wanted to rush over and hit him in the back. If those friends had even bent down to tie their shoelaces, they would have tried it right away.!"

Shadow Foot spoke rapidly and handed me a piece of paper he had taken out of his pocket..

"It's a recipe! I'd like to guide you personally, but you have to be careful with things like this! If other ordinary people who saw me see us together, they might end up making a fuss about us later.!"

I couldn't hold back my applause at his unimaginable precision..

amazing! shadow foot!
