Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 137

It wasn't that difficult to deal with the bandits within the forest's reach..

I don't know if they had a lot to accumulate in the meantime, but the forest spirits moved us by pinpoint, like a delivery driver whose motto is accuracy and speed, and the battle at the thieves' den that we arrived at was not difficult at all..

After destroying about three groups so precisely, even though I only took money, my pockets were full and the thieves disappeared as if their seeds had dried up..

Not only can you screw up Count Bosha, but you can also make money and make the world a better place to live. It's literally a creative economy in itself, so much so that I want to do it every day..

"But if there's a beginning, there's an end."

It's just a pity that it disappeared in just one day. After annihilating the last group of thieves and retrieving their money bags, Asilie, who was communicating with her spirit, spoke to her as she left the hiding place..

"I guess they were the last ones. Now they're just happy and won't tell me where to go next.."

"Then it's time to go back.."

As I was eating the beef jerky I found in their pantry, I took out my pocket watch from my pocket and checked the time. It was just under 1 o'clock. Excluding the travel time, it is surprising that one group of bandits was destroyed almost every 30 minutes..

"Really, long live the spirits. Please tell me that I’m so thankful, sister.."

"It's just that words don't make sense, but spirits also feel what you feel, so there's no need to do that. I already know."

After laughing and having a quick bite to eat in the corpse-filled ruins, we returned to the outskirts of the capital with the help of the spirits, about an hour and a half later. I didn't realize it because I was moving in a hurry, but I guess the distance had increased significantly compared to when I first went..

Since we had not heard anything specifically about when the trial would end, the first place we stopped when we arrived in the capital was the courthouse. However, the courthouse we arrived in with great anticipation was no different from the last time we saw it, with a tightly closed door informing us that the trial was still in progress, and we had to leave with disappointment behind us..

"I thought the trial would end quickly as the outcome was obvious, but it seems that wasn't the case.."

"I don't know much about human trials, so I have nothing to say. Since he is a noble, I wonder if things are complicated.."

Since we had just eaten half-baked beef jerky, we thought we should eat something to eat, but neither of us had much of an appetite, so we decided to return to the Ogatorf Mansion..

With the help of the spirits, I experienced the power of a fantasy-style moving walker. When I arrived at the mansion after passing a distance that felt infinitely long, even though it was only a short distance, what greeted me was a flying dragon transport carriage that I had only seen once while living in the mansion..

"what? Why is this here??"

"Ah, Eldmia. I came back early today?"

As I was surprised by the carriage that was just starting to enter the mansion, a guard with a very familiar face spotted me and spoke to me..

"Mr. Jebel? Isn't that a dragon transport wagon??"

"that's right. I didn't hear the exact explanation either, but the deacon said he was an acquaintance of Margrave Levien. I heard it will help with this trial.?"

Oh my goodness! In that case, the person riding in that carriage is one of my few loyal comrades and a dutiful son of the century.!

"Gees! Yay! You're riding a carriage, right?!"

"uh? Mr. Eldmia?"

I was so happy that I jumped up and approached the carriage, and a familiar face came out of the cargo area behind the tent. What, it's nice to meet you, but why are you out there?.

"Wow, you were doing well as expected.!"

Geese had a much better face than before. He was also very happy when he saw me and hurriedly jumped out of the still moving carriage and came over to me..

"Oh my god, how long has it been since then? You were still in the capital... Asilier was there too.?"

Giess, whom Ragnis had been hiding outside the capital until the situation arose, seemed to have been treated poorly, as if her skin was glowing. I thought I would have a chance to see his face since he will be a strong witness in this trial, but I never thought I would see him so soon..

"haha! This was another annoying thing. It just so happened that it happened like that. By the way, look at how shiny your skin is. The flying dragon won’t pick you up because you’re heavy.?"

"This guy must have weighed more than me. It seems like it's only been a year or so, but hasn't it gotten bigger? How far do you plan on growing??"

"When it comes to fighting, there's nothing bigger than bigger, so the bigger the better.."

"haha. You are the same.."

While Gies, who jumped out of the carriage, was shaking his shoulder and exchanging greetings, the drake stuck out its head following Gies. No, it's not that she gained weight, but her face seems to have become more fierce..

"Is he also... growing up? I think my face has changed a bit.."

"It's still a young drake. Even though you've only seen it once, you still get it right.."

Of the two drakes I've seen in my life, I split the top of one's head off with my hands, and since the other one is this, I can't help but remember it. I don't know if the dragon remembers people's faces well, but from my perspective, it was just as happy to see him as Gies..

"The fact that you came to the capital means that the loan shark will also be sorted out through this trial.?"

"It seems so. I packed all my belongings, including the escorts who were staying with me from the village where I was hiding.."

"But you came this early? When did you leave??"

"Us? departed three days ago."

Unlike Gees, who smiled and answered casually, I couldn't manage my facial expression for a moment and had no choice but to freeze up..

While we were still in the empire?

"Who told you this??"

"The story was told directly from the royal family.."

Gies tilted his head when he saw my expression and felt something strange, but I was too emotionally upset to explain it to him right now, so I kept my mouth shut for now..

Ragnis' anxiety and embarrassment were real. So was Lord Ekaf, and so was Cheryl. If their reaction was an act to deceive me, it should be recorded as a famous act of the century..

There was only one conclusion I could come to in my head..

The conclusion is that the royal family is now taking advantage of the people as they please without any notice to them..

"That's right! I didn't know because I hadn't heard anything in particular. Anyway, I'm glad. I can finally live with confidence."

However, there was no reason to make Gees anxious by telling him about it, so I controlled my facial expression and returned to the conversation..

"In fact, they treated me so well that life there wasn't bad, but it seemed like it was right for flying dragons and pilots to be in the sky. It makes me excited to think that I can fly without being noticed.."

Even though we were only staying for a short time, we couldn't continue talking because we had to take care of the flying dragon so that it could adapt..

As Gis and I parted ways for the evening, Asilier's expression, who had been talking with a smile on her face behind her, changed to a serious one..

"L.D. I'm not trying to make a hasty decision or move.?"

"I'm not quick to judge, but I almost made a move.."

If you want to deceive the enemy, first deceive your allies? I think it is a very reasonable and reasonable theory, and a very prudent and desirable stance..

But fuck, thinking and understanding are always different..

"It's a bit irritating to think that they were happy that everything was going according to plan, leaving the anxious child alone without even saying a word.."

There is no consideration whatsoever. It's just a plan at the level of moving pieces on a chessboard, considering only the gains and losses. In fact, it is quite shameless to act like that when there is no penalty for the person who is concluding the plan. At least, I wouldn't have felt this way if I had been assured that the royal family would support Ragnis..

To be honest, gathering people until dawn to prepare for a trial feels a bit rushed, but it's far from the feeling of staying up all night to make sure everything is right.?

"Just annoyed?"

"...for now. Because it's something I have to decide based on what happens later.."

Although it may not be a good idea to apologize after committing a crime, as it is justified as an action to strike the enemy, if a reasonable compensation is provided along with an apology, it may be viewed favorably..

This is a reality fantasy world. Nothing ever goes as planned.

Still, I couldn't clear my expression of disapproval and became sullen, and Asilier smiled and folded her arms..

"okay. You should try to keep your cool even in emotional situations.."

"This is a wise statement. But it's true that I almost got angry at that moment, so I became hungry.."

"It was that kind of structure....?"

I know. I didn't even know I had this structure. Anyway, it was true that I was hungry, so I decided to go to the kitchen and get some leftover food before going up to my room..

However, the chef prepared a full table with more than just leftover food, and I couldn't help but show Asilier my single-celled self, feeling relieved as I ate the delicious food..
