Never touch Eldmia Egar-Episode 169
After a hug that wasn't very long, Esmue stood up and said, fanning her slightly red ears..
"Ah, anyway. To be honest, cases like yours are few and far between, so I'm not sure, but I can guarantee that you won't be dragged into a public position.."
"Did I hug you for no reason?...?"
"Huh, don't talk nonsense. I moved because I had to go to the royal palace right away and it wouldn't be good to be disheveled. Depending on the outcome, you should be prepared to embrace it a little stronger.!"
It seems like they are saying that if there are good results, they will be embraced again... Isn't it shameful to proudly declare something like that with one's own mouth, even though it is shameful to be embraced?.
I was also feeling a little embarrassed, so I decided to just pretend not to notice..
"Other than that, there's nothing else I need to know.?"
"I don't think there is anything in particular. Actually, if you had any regrets about compensation, the goal was to adjust things, but you have no interest at all. All of a sudden, it became a time to fulfill my selfish desires.."
Esmuye took a deep breath, checked her complexion, which was quickly normalizing, in the mirror provided in the room, and spoke..
"I will post a message as soon as it is organized, so rest comfortably. To be honest, I just feel like I've been treating my body too carelessly ever since I visited the empire.."
"It's a bit like that...?"
"I know you are working hard for your goal, but don't forget that you are nothing when you die.."
The last words were spoken firmly and without any hint of mischief, so I just nodded silently..
After completing the visit, Esmueh went down the stairs with an expressionless face, as if she had never been like that before, and got into the carriage with the black knights in tow..
I could see that the faces of the kingdom's nobles who followed her were full of curiosity about what the conversation was about, but since that was none of my business, I decided to only care about seeing her off on her way..
Nothing much happened after Esmueh's stormy visit. Only the high-quality furniture that was changed through the hard work of the users remains awkwardly..
Although I felt a little lethargic due to the sudden visit, I gathered my composure and decided to spend the remaining time reading the magic book the maid had borrowed..
And when dinner time was almost over, he started gritting his teeth and expressing his anger..
"One day I will definitely throw this book in the author's face...."
[Concise and easy magic for beginners]
Author: Tanebello Vistal.
Looking at the title alone, I thought that it would definitely be of great help to me today, so I turned the pages. I believed in the title of this book, held on, and held on until I realized that I had been deceived..
"From what I can tell, this is a book for beginners.!"
The book that Ragnis briefly carried around at the Imperial Academy would be easier than this.!
I spent several hours reading the jargon that I had no idea what it meant, appearing randomly and combining it with the complex writing style unique to this era, but the results were disastrous..
I thought I might have developed sudden dyslexia, so I read it again with great effort, but nothing changed, and I had no choice but to grit my teeth and put the book on the table..
I feel like throwing it, but it's an expensive item so I hold back.!
"Are all magic books like this?...?"
It wasn't like this when I learned it verbally from Asilier...? If this is really average, self-study might be a bit too much..
"I'll have to find a way to learn as soon as it's sorted out.."
Everything I know about magic, except for fragments of knowledge, is ultimately based on the fantasy I read and saw in my past life..
However, the reality here is that magic cannot be said to be understood to that extent, even if it is an academic discipline that is leading the world's civilization on behalf of science..
Simple things like lighting a spark are possible, but as you might think, magic like shooting a fireball or creating a protective shield is done based on dedicated formulas and theories. As a result, unless you are a genius, it is impossible to use 'real' magic without such theory..
"...what? I think Asilier told me something about the history of this.."
It was a long time ago so it's hard to remember. I think we talked about the process by which most species learned how to refine mana and aura, learned magic, and developed civilization....
It's a bit unclear whether they said it was taught by a dragon or by someone who learned magic from a dragon..
As I mentioned in passing, there was a possibility that I might not be able to learn the magic since it was made up of mana formulas, so I think we had a conversation about how it might be helpful to read a book that studies magic closer to the original source..
"Do you think you can get help from Sir Radnellbandes?."
Actually, I didn't think there was any need for it before..
Just using magic like an auror is amazing enough. The fact that both wizards and warriors were respected in the first place was proof that no one had an overwhelming advantage between Aurors and Mana, and although it could be said to be a bit complacent, most of the knights living here also did not know much about magic, so I thought it would be okay..
But after going through that demon shit and seeing Lellie's magic, my thoughts changed a lot..
All the magic I don't know about is a variable in itself. Even in the case of the crazy singing girl I met in the Empire, there was no way to stop her even if I saw her with my own eyes..
I wouldn't know it if I lived a normal life, but for me, who lives with a grand dream of revenge, it is a fatal weakness. Even if you don't know how to use magic, you need to have at least a cursory understanding of how magic is used in battle..
"For this one, I'll have to ask for as much advice as I can get my hands on.."
Do you know anything? Will there be another unexpected encounter like shadow feet?.
After thinking about it that much, I began to feel like I was wasting the time I spent tied up in the detention center, but since there was nothing I could do about it right now, I decided to just go to bed early and wake up early..
After repeating that kind of life for three days, I was able to escape from the detention center..
◈
"Then rest in peace.."
"I hope Messiela is doing well too. Thanks to you, I had a good rest.."
Messiela, the calm and capable maid who was the biggest factor in making the long staycation a staycation, showed the biggest emotional change she had ever seen in her entire stay at my lively greeting. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly and she smiled..
"This is the first time I have heard such a greeting while working here. I pray that we never have to see each other again.."
In the end, no matter how comfortable this place is, it is a temporary detention center. Leaving this place without any problems means that you have been falsely accused or framed, so it is just a friendly greeting that I hope you will not experience such a thing in the future..
Just because I made a fuss or flirted with her doesn't mean I should just get out of it because I don't want to see it..
...Probably not? Because I had a really quiet time.
After such a simple greeting, I left the detention center and walked only about ten steps.?
Suddenly, a luxury carriage drove up next to me and stopped, and someone got off the coach seat and bowed to me..
Unusually, the person wearing a butler's uniform, which could be seen to be of high quality at a glance, was a woman..
She bowed politely and opened the carriage door as if it were normal, but I couldn't help but tilt my head..
"who are you?"
It didn't seem like someone out of the blue had the intention of kidnapping me as soon as I got out of prison, but since I didn't hear anything, I couldn't help but have questions. I was planning on walking back to see what had changed while I was stuck there for almost a week, but I was just confused..
But the other person doesn't respond at all. He just stands in the same posture like a butler with the carriage door open. Judging from the fact that there is even a curtain at the entrance of the carriage, it is a very luxurious carriage. Sheryl and Ragnis both came to pick me up when I personally came to pick them up, so they are not the kind of kids who would order such a taciturn person to bring them there..
A thought crossed my mind that the other person might be mute, but that was the situation over there and there was no reason for me to get on an unknown carriage, so I moved to avoid the carriage, looking at her with an expression that I would see anything strange..
"Let's get on. I'll take you to Ogatorp.."
Still doesn't raise his head. But now, as if she had noticed that my steps were moving further away, the unidentified woman opened her mouth..
And with that alone, my hostility began to escalate towards MAX..
"Did you ask who I was? Did you ask about my destination??"
Most of the people who answer my questions are either bastards who will cheat on me in the near future or have a bad relationship with me. Although she openly expressed her displeasure, the woman still maintained a bent posture and did not make a single movement..
It's better to be quiet and not say anything. One way to prepare for an emergency might be to keep your mouth shut forever. It seems like you already know who I am and where my destination is, so this would be a good indicator that I could get hurt if I try to make contact in this suspicious way..
With that mindset, the woman who was bending down flinched as she pulled out the sword of Gish that was on her waist, but the words actually came from somewhere else..
"As I heard, you are a person with very bold actions.."
The voice inside the carriage belonged to a young woman..
"Due to circumstances, I am not in a position to talk loudly. Could you please give me a moment??"
With the subsequent request, what came out of the carriage's curtain was a folded woman's fan..
However, the emblem at the end was the emblem of the Itisel royal family..
"About the series of events that occurred this time..."
"Ah, I'm not buying it, I'm not buying it."
And as soon as I confirmed that sentence, I walked away without even looking back..
I don't need any more politicians in my life!
