Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 16

14year.

Looking back, it was a life where I never really enjoyed rest..

8It was like that before I lived, and it goes without saying after that. Because spending time with dreams and expectations has changed to spending time with anger and venom..

To put it in a good way, it was written densely and meaningfully, but to put it in a bad way, it was close to child abuse. Since I was pushing myself to the point where I thought I might have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, I decided to just take this opportunity to rest..

"It's tourism!"

After completing a brief errand at the Adventurer's Guild, I unilaterally declared to Ragnis:.

"Why did you go to the adventurer's guild??"

"Nothing special. I was just asking whether the number of adventurers I hadn't seen recently increased or not.."

Since they are aiming for kidnapping, the number of people in the industry they can use is limited. Even if there is a surveillance station, they are either mercenaries or adventurers. Even entering the village is dangerous for bandits, and if they are caught on the way, they can destroy you without you having time to do anything. Those who have to pay a lot of money to hire people leave traces and it becomes difficult to clean them up later..

We live in a world where it is possible for a highly skilled person to rip off his employer's head if he throws himself into trouble. You can't use someone like that carelessly..

The more kangies there are, the more they want tails that can be easily cut..

The first step in my future routine was to check the information every day by bribing the receptionist with aegyo and snacks. The information I heard today was, ‘There were no particularly new faces.’ As expected, I decided to enjoy the sightseeing without any regrets..

The Ogwen tour that started like that was a more pleasant experience than I expected..

Even if it was a place I didn't normally go to or a place I didn't need to go to, if there were a lot of people, I would go and see it. The stores that cater to adventurers have a lot of things from food to equipment that are a bit expensive but you wouldn't normally encounter them, and looking through them was quite an enjoyable experience for both of us..

"I've been to this place a lot.?"

"no. at all."

As I took the lead without hesitation, strong-hearted Ragnis, who was enjoying the walk without even caring about the situation he was in, asked a question..

"uh? I'm not going to know it?"

"To be precise, I just knew it existed. Why would I come here?."

In any case, Asilier provides essential tools and information that can be considered useful tips for adventurers, and there is no reason for me, who is still growing up, to purchase equipment, including armor. Other than that, all the little things I would buy later were meaningless for now. In fact, if I hadn't had this opportunity, I wouldn't have even come here before I turned 16..

However, even if they were walking around like lovers, isn't it unlikely that there would be a dating course or tourist attraction in a city that is just growing into a city? It may have been there from the beginning, but there was nothing like that in Ogwen, and since it was currently a war, there was no time to create something like that in the border city. Well, it might happen later when the adventurer guild grows and the floating population increases, but not yet..

In the end, there is nothing you can do but find new things and enjoy window shopping..

Still, you can buy chocolate or sugary snacks that are hard to eat at a store that specializes in dealing with adventurers, so surprisingly, this area, which is close to a kind of adventurer district, is a perfect place for a date..

"By the way, I didn't know they would sell something like this to adventurers. Do adventurers make a lot of money??"

"Well, chocolate?"

Ragnis nodded, looking at the large sign advertising chocolate at the snack shop in front of him..

"huh. And very sweet snacks."

"Because if you use your brain a lot, sweet food is helpful. It has a lot of sugar, so it doesn't spoil easily, and chocolate is also high in calories, so it's not bad as an emergency food. Rather than making a lot of money, isn't it closer to a kind of first aid item for them??"

Although potions exist in this world, they are still expensive. Everything from low quality to high quality is just expensive. There are so many varieties, from crazy effects that instantly regenerate wounds like a troll to things that are as effective as a nutritional supplement you drink before going to bed, but they are expensive..

Regardless, unless you are an adventurer who has reached a certain level, you will ultimately have to survive with food, herbs, folk remedies, and medical knowledge just like in your previous life..

Asilier was also very enthusiastic in educating me about the medicinal and poisonous plants that can be found in the forest. She taught me everything from elf folk remedies to folk remedies popular with her adventurers. Some of them were a bit superstitious, so I had to filter out the adventurers' folk remedies..

"There's something very systematic about it. But chocolate is expensive, right? They say they use it as a first aid kit.?"

"It just caught on. sister! Please give me two chocolates!"

"sister? Ho Ho. Just give me 9 fairy tales."

"dong?!"

"After all, my pretty sister has a kind heart. thank you!"

40I took two chocolates that seemed to be no more than half a piece of antelope from the old lady, gave one to Ragnis, and chewed it. hmm. I think it's roughly between 85% and 99% cacao..

"uh? Fairytale? 9?"

"Originally there were 10. I know the answer to the taste, so try it, lady.."

I understand what your concern is. I'm sure you originally knew that chocolate was something you had to give silver or gold coins to eat. However, even if you realize that the quality of the chocolate is different from the chocolate you are used to, from a commoner's perspective, it would be difficult to understand that something as small as this is worth as much as 5 donghua. The money is enough for two meals a day, lodging, and a trip to the bathroom..

However, unless you are a completely new adventurer, the price is not that expensive for an adventurer who is very active enough to need something like this. That's why you can do business with adventurers..

After thinking for a moment, Ragnis boldly chewed the chocolate he was holding, and his face immediately distorted..

"Ugh."

"The raw ingredients of chocolate are not sweet. This too is sweet. The chocolate you ate...well, it's a dish made extremely sweet through a series of processes we don't know.."

Well, the taste was no different from my previous life, and it actually was. If Ragnis had been a noble, she might have spit it out right away, but now she couldn't spit out food worth five dongwa, so she chewed it anyway and savored the taste. Is this why you try feeding cacao to your kids? It's really fun to see the reactions.

"Hmm... at first it seemed like I was just using it, but it seems to be surprisingly good. It's not too sweet...it might actually be addictive.?"

Contrary to my expectations, which I had been waiting for for a long time to complain, Ragnis showed his expression sooner than I expected, and as soon as he got used to it, he ate the chocolate with great pleasure. oh my god.

Still, he seemed to be having fun forgetting that he was in a pretty serious situation, so I was satisfied and moved on..

◈

After that, I wandered around like that for four days. There wasn't much new. In the end, there were limits to outings in cities on the frontier..

Still, as I ate this and looked around, Ragnis, who was stiff at first, naturally came into my arms and started imitating my lover quite well, and time was passing smoothly as always, so there was nothing bad. As I spent the day like that without fail, I was just wondering if I should feed Ragnis something strange again today..

-Tuk.

"ah."

A person passing by bumped my shoulder. To be exact, it was just a passing touch. Because I don't have a hobby of talking to people. But the ending that follows is unusual..

Oh, I guess not. childish and obvious...

"Wow, my shoulders are all sore.."

The murmur that follows. Mumbling? No, it would be correct to say that it is just a precursor to raising voices..

It is such a clear line that even adventurers walking around react immediately. The quick-witted adventurers open their eyes wide, anticipating the messy mess that will unfold in the future..

Yeah...if you're being honest, this is a glove that nobles throw for a duel..

A line that acts like a glove in the world of gangsters....

Ragnis was walking with a smile, not imagining that he was talking to us, and I had no intention of stopping, so I just nodded as I went..

bully? well. They don't have the platform to act like thugs in an area crowded with adventurers. A pure idiot with no relationship whatsoever? There is a possibility, but even those kids don't mess with the villagers often. Is there any reason to choose something that will get you caught by the guards??

"Have you seen this crazy bastard? Hey you bastard! There's nothing to see with a sword?! I heard my friend's shoulder was torn apart.?!"

After thinking that far, my eyes suddenly opened to the realization that there was no reason to worry..

wait? If it's a bully, it's okay to beat it up. Even if it's an adventurer who starts a trivial argument like this, it's okay to beat it up. Even if it's something hired by the noble faction that was the target, it's okay to beat it up, isn't it??

At the same time as the sudden realization, I felt a glimpse of the bad Eldmia and the even worse Eldmia wiping their noses and smiling..

It was an evil smile, as if it was laughing at me, who was just worrying about something stupid..

-Hehehe, idiot.

-Hehehe, head to head.

I wonder...what on earth was I trying to think about? Even I can't help but laugh. At the same time, I could see that shaky, angry steps were approaching behind me..

-chin!

"Fuck, my ears are blocked...."

The moment a hand came on my shoulder.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

"Huh? Uh huh?"

"Eh, Eldmia?!"

I apologized in my heart to Ragnis, who was startled and horrified, and took action..

"It's scary!!! Ahhh it hurts!!!"

"uh? What the fuck..."

And with only the strength of his trained body, he shows the romance of a man to the face that appears as soon as he turns his body..

He bends his back, twists his whole body, gathers all his strength into one fist, and swings it with all his anger and passion, a true man's punch..

By name! galactica phantom!

"What are you, you fucking bastard?!!!!!"

Whether it's a phone punch or something else, you just have to hit it faster than reacting.!

-Kwaang!

An unidentified man with a fist stuck in his face falls down without even being able to scream due to the sudden impact, and then begins to struggle..

"Okay, okay, okay.!!"

"Before you grunt like a pig, you should first apologize for my shattered shoulder, you bastard.!!"

If you want to start a fight, you have to do it like this.
