Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 206
A winning lottery ticket that can't be compared to Sen and Trollers' lottery tickets that were scratched off, Gaendal and his friends looked quite messy, as if they had just returned from completing a request..
Catherine, who came up to me with a bright smile, scratched her cheek as if she was embarrassed, perhaps because it bothered her, and Lely approached her, looking at Catherine like that with a sharp look in her eyes..
"I got lucky with this. I was already thinking that I might be able to see you when I come here.."
"oh? Are you looking for us? Well, I got some good work?"
"Surprisingly, this is the correct answer. If it's okay, would you like to join us? If you haven't eaten yet, I'll buy it for you.."
"Hehehe. Today's luck is bad, but something good happens in the end.!"
While Mr. Gin, who was laughing heartily behind Catherine, who was smiling brightly and nodding, asked for understanding from the innkeeper and set up a table, this time Gaendal approached and spoke with a light greeting..
"But this time, there were quite a few people in the group. It seems like quite a big deal.?"
"There were unnecessarily complicated and lengthy circumstances. First of all... This is Seine, Merdella, Kals, and Weisse. They are adventurers active in Englem, the southern gateway city. And this is Gaendal, Gin, Catherine, and Lellie. You are skilled adventurers... Are you still at the Cheong level? I have a feeling you've already been promoted.."
''You remembered our names and where we came from?' I asked while ignoring the disgusting guys who were giving me that look, and sure enough, Mr. Gaendal took out a red adventurer's badge and showed me a deep smile..
"That's accurate. It's been a few days."
I guess I'm the only one who can't get promoted. It doesn't matter anyway.
"Ho, are you by any chance Weapon Master Gaendal??"
However, an unexpected reaction erupted, starting from Carls, who had been quietly keeping his mouth shut. It's not just him, but the other kids too, who start muttering words one by one and admiring themselves like extras passing by.?
"Star's Favorite Lellie?"
"Oh my god, it's Gin the Giant?"
"Battering Ram Catherine...?"
what. Why do you guys open your eyes like that?.
The guys who had been squirming until now had disappeared, and only the ones who had their eyes shining like civilians who had met an idol remained, so it felt very unfamiliar. I hated seeing that sight so much that I continued my conversation with Gaendal, barely suppressing the urge to smash the honey chestnuts into each of its four heads in succession..
"Are you all very famous? is not it? Were you originally famous??"
"What are you talking about? You're not easy either.."
"Me? Are you talking about a lightsaber or a mad dog??"
"These days, there are more people calling it different things.."
Hahaha, Gaendal laughed and made a gesture of hitting his neck with the blade of his hand..
"Guillotine Eldmia Ega.."
Yeem disease.
I feel like I've been branded a living, breathing execution machine..
◈
After a series of steps, such as suppressing with his gaze the guys who were ready to get autographs if left alone, and having Catherine sit down at the table while Catherine, who was trying to wash up in a hurry, was stopped, we continued eating and talking in a friendly atmosphere..
Although there was almost another uproar in the process of introducing Seneran, fortunately the story progressed quickly and led to a cheerful acceptance as if it were natural..
"What a cult. How can you be so good at finding adventures without doing any work as an adventurer??"
Gaendal's first impression after hearing my explanation aroused the sympathy of more people than expected. This time, I was also in a position where I was unfairly involved because of Merdella, but they were treating me nicely to save face, so it was difficult to say that out loud..
I completely left out the part about saints, but since the stereotypes and perceptions of cultists were so unfavorable, no one questioned my decision to go to subdue them at the request of the Holy Light Cross..
"It's clear that it's something very large-scale, but I don't know why it doesn't feel like there's a sense of crisis.."
Lellie was just dumbfounded by what she was feeling..
"Mr. Ega. Be honest. Even if I was alone, I was able to handle that request.?"
"well? It would be difficult to fight head-on, but since I have my sister, if we repeat night raids and ambushes, we will somehow manage.?"
"...I feel like my standards for understanding the gravity of things are being disrupted these days.."
Catherine patted the shoulder of Lely, who was shaking her head, and smiled cheerfully..
"Anyway, it's amazing. You're saying that there's a high possibility that he's a cultist or a devil worshiper, right? I envy the fact that they took the initiative to experience an event that would normally only be experienced by self-sufficient adventurers.."
"Although the parties did not want it. You said earlier that Gin's luck was rough. What happened??"
"Don't even say anything. A request came in to investigate that the lord's family disappeared overnight from the estate down there. It turns out that I was just secretly away for some reason.."
"...oh."
That... no matter how you look at it, it's a story about Bellesica...? As I rolled my eyes with a half-hearted reaction, I met Sen's eyes with a strange expression..
"Perhaps because the lord was so well-liked, the villagers pooled their money and submitted the request without worrying about who would go first. There was even testimony that unidentified monsters often showed up, so I thought I would make a lot of money if I did well... Well, I ended up just wasting time.."
"Still, I'm glad that if Eldmia's job goes well, we'll be able to make up for this loss. Maybe it's because it's winter now, but I'm getting a lot of requests. Maybe it's time to get out of the capital."
"I heard that some dungeons have opened up in Ogwen recently, so it might be a good idea to go there too.."
When the weather is good, requests from remote regions are linked and given to adventurers from other regions depending on the situation, but in winter, when difficulties with long-distance travel begin to bloom, they usually resolve them among themselves. Was the reason why the number of adventurers freezing to death increased significantly??
I thought it was just a bunch of idiots laughing at the power of nature, acting recklessly, and then dying, but I remember it because it was so amazing that there were more of them than I thought and there were even rules..
"If that's the case, then it's a good thing. This request was received from Ogwen's Holy Light Cross branch. How about taking this opportunity to go??"
Apparently, when horses were sold, the number of carriages going to and from the dungeon increased, so it was said to be a booming business, so there would be plenty of work for adventurers. Gaendal's face lit up when he heard my story, as if it was a very serious concern for something that came out lightly..
"Really? This is a good sign."
"Iknow, right. If you think about it, if the five of us got together, we were definitely lucky. What does Mr. Ega have??"
It's ironic that the person involved is an icon of beheadings who are constantly involved in accidents, but here they are treated as good luck charms. Still, good things are good, so we laughed along..
"Well... I guess I'll have to be a little busy today. Still, I repaired the equipment from the last request, so I just need to buy the consumables.."
"Might as well buy some tinder and oil... and some extra firewood.."
"I even bought a new blanket that Lellie burned.."
"Ah... it's a shame to think about it again, really.."
While I was looking at Gaendal Party, a trustworthy dream team that knows how to prepare for tomorrow even in a warm atmosphere, Seneran, who had remained silent until now, touched me and started talking..
"Hey, those cultists. He claimed to be a demonic religion.?"
"yes. why?"
"Then there is a high probability that the real Demon Church may intervene, but that's okay.?"
Is the real demonic religion intervening? Not understanding what he was saying, she turned to Asilier, but she just shook her head as if this was her first time hearing what Seneran had said..
"From those friends' point of view, it's heresy. No matter where it is, you have to send someone to destroy it to get rid of it.."
I did something and the reason was more intuitive than I thought..
"Even so, it's outside the demon territory, so should we go that far? I don't think the rumor will spread that far.."
"They don't need rumors about heresy."
"yes? Why is that again??"
"Because the devil tells me."
If other people had talked about it, I don't think it would have been particularly credible, but when the mad Seneran, who was prepared to sacrifice his life for magical power research, spoke about demons, it carried a special weight. Since he didn't say anything in a small way, Seneran continued speaking while everyone was listening..
"The religion with the strictest heresy on the continent is Demonism. I don't know if it's because they are so vulnerable to persecution, starting with their race, but they have no compromise in that area. The fact that those cult members have been active until now means that they have not yet had any contact with the Demon God Cult, but to my ears, it sounds like a synonym for the phrase, ‘We will soon collide head-on with the Demon God Cult’? It'll be okay?"
You can fight the demons and win?
It was an extremely common sense concern and a natural question..
However, I, Gaendal, Gin, Catherine, and Lely were able to smile leisurely at Seneran's question..
"It doesn't seem like much of a problem.."
