Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 150

"what?! escape?!"

escape. Or run away. Running away to protect yourself from a threat.

And these were the words uttered by the guild receptionist to Catherine and the other party members. That's why Catherine made quite a loud noise..

Luckily, with the exception of one attack, we arrived at the gateway city safely and were greeted with unpleasant circumstances and unfair treatment..

The female receptionist, who looked as if she had gathered all her harshness into her hands, spoke while maintaining an extremely business-like attitude..

"That's right. The three people, led by Gaendal, escaped during the quest...."

"Ha, it looks like the guys who arrived first tricked people and got away with the money, so we explained the situation to them and set out to track them down separately. They even killed the mercenary group that caused the incident and rescued the residents, but it was a harsh punishment.?"

The reason they remain calm despite being unilaterally informed of an extremely unfair evaluation is probably because they possess sound character and common sense. If you were a normal adventurer, it wouldn't be surprising if you started by destroying something right away..

I don't think of it that way because when I faced a similar situation in the capital, I started by ignoring it..

"...First, the adventurers who returned to the city have already negotiated with the guild and received compensation. If you cannot submit detailed circumstances and evidence, nothing will change.."

On the other hand, the receptionist was so cold that she frowned at the thought of cutting her off and attacking her in this situation. It seems like there's a lot of work piled up, but it's not a particularly good response..

"So, you've been wanting to meet the guild leader for a while now to provide the circumstances and evidence. In order to ultimately protect the victims over there right now, you have to meet with the guild leader, the representative of the guild that submitted the request, and the officials of Raviel, the owner of the request, right? These are victims related to the request. Do you mean to leave those people like this??"

Nevertheless, Gaendal explains calmly. But the answer I got back was not kind at all..

"Currently, the guild leader is busy with other business...."

The same answer repeated like a parrot. In the end, it's a public request presented by the guild, so what's busier than handling it? This isn't even the capital. Even if it's just empty words, if a problem like this arises, it's right to put off your busy work and rush over to check..

At that attitude, Gaendal tried to sigh, Catherine and Lely looked shocked, and Gin laughed as if he was troubled. The refugees began to feel anxious due to the commotion, and Asili just looked at the receptionist with a displeased expression..

And I just kicked the reception desk.

-Kwaang!

With a deliberate kick, what was supposed to be a reception desk scattered to the surrounding area..

"Wow?!"

"Fuck you. It's spinning so dirty, really. Did you team up with those mercenary bastards??"

It is common sense that there are as many different personalities as there are people in the world. And you can save time and effort when drawing the desired conclusion by treating them in a variety of ways that fit their diverse personalities..

Intelligent idiots are the answer here..

I feel everyone in the lobby startled by my sudden action and their attention is focused. And inside, the receptionist, struggling alone, screamed loudly..

"What on earth is this?! I'm calling security right now.!"

"guard? Security? Call! Let's just call everyone and let the world know that the Adventurer's Guild is ignoring adventurers and telling them not to know! Security guard!! Here it is! The guild here treats adventurers like shit! Is this a country?!!"

The vast majority of adventurers have no nationality..

Every country has borders, and ordinary citizens without any connections cannot cross those borders without permission. Those who only work in one country do not necessarily give up their nationality like me or Cheryl, but true adventurers who travel around the world give up their nationality altogether..

However, if that happens, wouldn't it be a real fantasy life where a country that prioritizes its own citizens will be full of cases where adventurers who have no backing are treated as they please??

The world is overflowing with chaos and destruction to the extent that the useful services of adventurers cannot be drastically reduced by such mindless people, so the adventurer protection law is what the continents have come together to come up with and come up with an arbitration plan..

"Insufficient follow-up response due to neglect of request management! Even the heinous act of trying to make up for the loss by unfairly passing on the guild's financial losses suffered by a specific adventurer to another innocent person! Even though the root of the incident was resolved, the response was delayed! In fact, I'm starting to suspect that I was getting into the illegal slave business by selling information to mercenary gangs. This? Aren't adventurers the easiest? Okay, let's do it the right way! Bring on the circuit judge! right now!"

The free guidebook that is given out when you first register as an adventurer, made using expensive paper, is like many people who do not read the manual even though it is included, and they always say, 'I will read it later.' It's one of those unfortunate items that you either lose or never read..

But honestly, it contains so much important content that I wonder if I should give a simple paper test based on the booklet. Those are the legal rights and protections I was just talking about..

"Hey, look! Don't say such nonsense..."

"It does not make sense? Why do you judge that? From now on, decisions will be made by Ethisel's national law and the Continental Unified Adventurer Protection Protocol! Why are you still here? They told me to call security.!!"

I have heard that there are cases where adventurers are looked down on because they are ignorant, and some of them are illiterate, so it is difficult to make a living unless they work as adventurers. But I never imagined it would happen in the city closest to the capital..

I will never forget for the rest of my life what happens if an ignorant person in that profession goes to law school. When I made eye contact with Gaendal, who was looking at me with a blank expression next to me, and gave him a light wink, he burst into laughter and quietly stepped back, leaving the situation to me..

"What's the fuss about??"

"The receptionist was involved in an illegal business.?"

"I heard the guild turned away adventurers.?"

Wouldn't the advantage of a guy with a loud voice be that he can start off with a one-sided slander? It's not just an ordinary problem, it's an unreasonable treatment of adventurers, and even if it's an issue that we don't know if it's true or not, it's natural to be concerned when the people involved are gathered together..

Only then did other receptionists around me realize the situation and approached me in confusion..

"If you keep making a fuss with such nonsense, it will interfere with business...."

"I told you to call the security! The judge too!"

"Wow!!"

What Asilier said may be true. It's at the level of causing accidents all day long..

In the end, my reasonable cries only reached a lull after the receptionists' earnest requests and the guild leader showed up..

"What the hell is this? Let's say it in words."

His chubby body is a complete contrast to that of the capital guild leader. As soon as he arrives, rather than asserting his authority or taking a confident stance, he appears in a strangely low-key manner, which makes me think that he may be living a life closer to violence than to the law..

"The guild leader’s words are really interesting. I was talking earlier."

"Ha, but the reception desk..."

"It just shattered with a quick kick out of anger. We just talked before and after that.?"

Destroying a reception desk made of wood with a single kick is a performance that is enough to make people nervous. As he spoke like a typical bully with a crooked posture, the guild leader's eyes began to shake. It wasn't just a commotion, and when the guild leader showed up, more and more people flocked to watch..

"What the...fuck, fuck. Why is the mad dog here??"

"what? Him? He's the mad dog of the capital?"

But unexpected support fire began..

"That crazy bastard won't bite until he gets crushed.?"

"Wow, then did you really betray the adventurer from the guild??"

"Then, as for the illegal slave business and all that....?"

This is why people must live sincerely and consistently. I never would have thought that after only a year or so of activity, people who knew of my notoriety would appear near the capital. As the murmur spread into a murmur, the guild leader, who understood the situation, trembled and cautiously held out his hand to lead me..

"Well, the reception desk is nice. Please go up and explain what's going on...."

That behavior is somewhat suspicious. Isn’t this person intentionally ignoring us because he really has something up his sleeve? Let’s even go up and talk about something that can be easily completed here.?

Of course, it doesn't suit that kind of trick. This is my front yard now, but I'm crazy and crawl into the enemy's camp.?

"No, our brother Gaendal and his companions. yes? For the guild's request and the kingdom's prestige, you stayed up all night looking for nearby refugee villages to kill the innocent citizens of the kingdom and kill the vicious mercenaries who tried to sell them as slaves, right? It didn't stop there, he even personally escorted the victims who had sad stories to ensure their safety. When we arrived in the city, what the fuck? Are you experiencing the disgrace of being considered a fugitive during a request? Does this make sense unless the kingdom's laws are turned upside down and the justice of the world is faded?!"

As I raised my voice and subtly avoided the hand that was trying to quietly take me away with exaggerated gestures, the noise around me subsided and I began to focus on what I was saying..

"whopping! They were cowards who ran away after seeing the horrors committed in the village where about 40 mercenaries arrived first! These are real cowards who ran away saying it was not a request and reported it to the city! Even though he calmly explained to me with the same magnanimity as Hahae that he not only undermined the honor of my brother and his companions, but also carried them away with compensation! Um, that receptionist lady, that person? Huh? How can I tolerate this when they keep treating people like fugitives, saying things like the decision has already been made? Isn't that right, guild leader??"

"Ah, my teacher. Please go in..."

Now, he calls me teacher, even though I'm half as young as him. Anyway, all places where people live are the same..

"Is this the story we're going to talk about?! Where do you go if you have something to hide?! Only those who are not confident speak in secret.!"

But I am Eldemia, a thrifty man who knows how to take advantage of even that..

As many gathered eyes looked at the guild leader with distrust, the guild leader broke into a cold sweat like broth over his dying face..

Okay, this is it. I've been caught up in accidents all day already. Let's go somewhere until we get there..
