Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 227

Proper rest can be called sweet enough on its own..

The good night's sleep I had at my lodgings for the first time in almost a week was completely in line with that, and thanks to that, I was able to get out of bed with a clear mind and a refreshed body. The cold early morning air and the dark outside the window seemed to say that morning was still far away, but my internal clock told me that the morning sun would soon come..

The story is that I was hungry..

"It's a strong morning, perfect for doing laundry.."

When I turned my head and looked at the bed next to me, I saw that Asilier was still tired and was sleeping peacefully, wrapped in a blanket. I took the tent and blanket out of my suitcase as carefully as I could so as not to wake her, and headed to the well behind the inn..

No matter how good the travel equipment you purchase, it will deteriorate if not properly maintained. I carefully went down the stairs, thinking about finishing washing the tent and blanket before breakfast..

It takes a year for both to dry, so even if it feels a little uncomfortable, it is better to wash it first than other clothes. To put it bluntly, even if you wash your clothes a little late, they will dry if you dry them in your room. If I get help from the spirits, the laundry will be done much faster and easier, but when circumstances allow, like now, I feel more comfortable doing it myself..

If I don't help you later when I really need help, I'll be the only one suffering..

"what? You woke up quickly, Mr. Ega.?"

When we arrived at the well, Lelye and Catherine, who had been carrying a tent and a handful of blankets like me and were just putting them down, greeted us..

"Good morning Lely, Catherine. You two woke up early too.."

"If you don't wake up early, you'll often be pushed around by other adventurers and can't do your laundry on time. So, it was something I did out of habit, but it wasn't until I woke up that I remembered what the situation in this city was like.."

I guess I forgot that we were the only adventurers in this city with dirty travel gear because we were following our habits. Unlike Lely, who seemed to be fully asleep, Ye Katrina, who couldn't even open her eyes properly, was lying down on the blanket she had thrown on the floor and grumbling..

"Thanks to you, I was dragged out too. Let's take it easy..."

"I said I would take care of it.?"

"If you had carried it alone, you would have fallen down the stairs. Or they dragged themselves down."

If you look at it that way, Lelyer was particularly vulnerable to physical activity. Sometimes, if I handed that girl a can of Coke, I felt like she wouldn't be able to open the lid. Even now, she looks like she has a lot of potential as she is doing her best to scoop up a bucket of water and carry it..

"Will you wake up before I pour the water on you??"

"I hate lies and I hate the truth. Anyway, what is a wizard?."

There was a small incident where Lellie tried to pour water on me with a very angry face because I applauded without realizing it because I was truly impressed by the witty killing of the civilized warrior Catherine, but in the end, I was able to finish the laundry without any problem. there was.

By the time I finished the process of wringing out the heavily wet tent and blanket with Catherine and then carrying them up to the room and drying them on the drying rack, Asili slowly woke up and started yawning with half-closed eyes, probably because of my busy movements. did.

"Have you already finished the laundry? I guess I woke up early?"

"I happened to meet Lellie and Catherine and helped each other quickly sort it out.."

I opened the window to ventilate the room and spent some time helping Asilier stretch, and at some point, the delicious scent of soup began to waft through the air. I don't know how many adventurers will be moving early in the morning, but we wanted to eat as leisurely as possible, so we headed to the first floor hall without any hesitation..

As we sat down in the hall and ordered breakfast, people began to come down one by one, even though we hadn't made any promises, and eventually everyone ended up sitting around the table waiting for their food..

"It's definitely a lot with over 10 people.."

One word uttered by Gaendal, whose throat was still locked, was enough for everyone to sympathize. Even when camping outside, there are only a handful of times we gather like this, so I don't really feel it, but sitting around a table for a meal makes me feel reassured. It was clear that no matter who came, if they saw this party, they would decide to avoid it rather than start a fight..

"That's right. I feel that way because everyone in the group is sincere, without exception.."

"LOL. That's true. Cases like this are very rare.."

Meanwhile, the friendly conversation that takes place makes me smile. Although they couldn't just talk to me, Sen and the others were also skillfully carrying on a conversation with the others, and Senerand was also talking about various things with Lellie..

This is truly the ideal adventurer party. The picture-like scene made me feel like something good would happen today..

Just as I was thinking that maybe this was the source of the thieves' confidence to go out without fear of the world, the inn's door suddenly burst open..

"Hey, Eldmia! Adventurer Eldmia Egan! Are you there?!"

"...Mr. Kunz?"

When I turned my head, I saw Kunz standing there, drenched in sweat and out of breath, even though he must have been hit by the cold winter wind..

"Hey, Eldmia.!"

His not-so-good expression and shaking pupils told me that the thoughts I had just a moment ago were nothing but vain..

"No, they raided the guild and looted the goods.!"

And from Kunz's mouth, news that immediately shattered my good mood came out..

◈

"I really have no shame. I never expected that even the adventurers hired as security would fall for them...."

Unlike Kunz, who apologizes with a lost expression even though he didn't do anything wrong, the other guild members just say, 'You're screwed.' He greeted us with an indifferent expression..

The stable he guided us into was miserable. The other horses had disappeared everywhere, and the Ogatorf family's war horses that Asilier and I had ridden were lying on the ground as cold corpses..

All the loot that would have been loaded on the horse was completely taken away..

"Does this make sense now?! If you're going to handle things like that, why charge management fees?!!"

Sen was literally acting like a spokesperson for my anger. But this time, neither Kals nor her party's best silent practitioner, Bai Zhe, stopped her. Rather, Merdella was in a situation where she was going on a rampage with her, and she even joined Lely, so her stable was filled with the trio of three women, making her ears tingle..

"Hey, by the time the shift staff in charge of night security arrived, the incident had already occurred. There were signs that the other horses had been taken, but perhaps that was because those horses had strong resistance...."

me? I was more upset than angry..

I was shocked because the implications of this situation were so blatant, and I was even more shocked that Kunz was the only one here who seemed truly sorry..

Did you really think that those bastards who were stranded in the city with no way to escape would actually believe that they were trying to loot not only food but trivial loot? If I didn't know how the situation was going based on the conversation we had yesterday, I would have been skeptical and checked, but now it's a different story..

In this situation, the guild leader was the one who had to show up first. Nevertheless, not even showing your back means you're either trying to make a dramatic appearance to take advantage of the situation, or you don't know the law..

Of course, the latter cannot exist. Judging by his actions, it looks like he's planning a plan to make me accept the requests he rejected by burning a hole in my pocket and then passing on the requests under the pretense of receiving compensation..

I raised my hand to calm them down and spoke briefly..

"That's it. Call the guild leader."

Then, a female receptionist who had been standing still while Kunz was profusely apologizing walked forward, blocking Kunz who was trying to say something to me..

"Excuse me, adventurer. It is very regrettable that this situation has occurred, but the guild leader is currently..."

"Just look at it once. Since you know the rules, call the guild leader. If you don't want to lose."

I don't know if he was higher in rank than Kunz or what, but there was no reason to tolerate him trying to block me from exercising my legitimate rights. However, despite my friendly warning, the other person even hardened his expression and dared to open his mouth..

"Violence in the city..."

I didn't listen to that because it was something I didn't really need to hear. Instead, I just put my ear plugs on my palms..

-Wow!!

"Hehehe?!"

The receptionist's head turned and blood and teeth spattered from the blow, which was powerful enough even without the use of magical power..

"What is this?!"

"guard! guards...!"

-PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Other receptionists who saw the receptionist rolling around on the floor opened their eyes wide and tried to stop them by whistling and moving the needle. Still, I wonder if there is such a thing as common sense. When what looked like a weapon moved arbitrarily and was aimed at them, everyone stopped moving and started rolling their eyes..

"Do the damn things. Even though he's a blue-level adventurer, he looks like a total idiot.?"

I was shocked because it was so ridiculous, but it seems that not only they were surprised by my sudden action, but also my companions..

"In the event of unexpected damage or loss of cargo or transportation that has been specified to be protected through due process within the Adventurer's Guild, negotiations for compromise and payment of related compensation shall be made orally by the guild leader and under his/her authority. It must be guaranteed. Losses to the guild resulting from non-compliance are not legally recognized upon unanimous agreement at the Kingdom Union meeting.."

As I spoke about the adventurer protection law that I had memorized before any unnecessary misunderstandings occurred, an exclamation of exclamation came from behind me. Even though they do not live solely on dreams and romance, adventurers are very uninterested in the law. Even Gaendal and Mr. Gin are impressed, so I've said it all..

Since it only provides minimal protection, there aren't many provisions, so I don't know why people don't read them. How to deal with this situation.

"Say it again. Call the guild leader."

Of course I'm not.

I don't know what kind of guts this guild leader had to do something like this, but he will have to pay for not only today's loot, but also for eating two Ogatorf family steeds worth close to 30 Itisel gold coins each..
