Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 239

Adventurers and adventurer guilds are not that big of a deal. If you have to compare it, it's like a labor agency and the daily workers working there.?

Although there are exceptional professionals among adventurers, in the end, if you look at the percentages, there are only a very small number, so it is somewhat difficult to say that all of them are special, and the same goes for guilds..

Since the existence of adventurers brings positive influence to the continent, appropriate support, investment, and requests are provided from all directions to create a plausible assortment. From first to last, it is a group that is formed out of necessity according to the national policy..

It's just that there is one in each city that meets the conditions, so it looks like a union, it feels huge, and it looks like the guild leader has accomplished everything. In reality, it's more like a position that gets half the job just by sitting still..

Of course, the ability of the guild leader depends on how well he does the other half. If you show up and show off to prove it, you'll end up like Gronzel, and a new guild leader will be appointed..

The baronet is similar to the adventurer guild leader in terms of appearance..

Moderate nobles who are included in the list of nobles maintained by the royal family, but are legally commoners. In order to secure war funds, Ethisel has already sold off the baronetcy, so its value has fallen even further..

Socially, you can move around with a bit of weight on your shoulders, and the corresponding treatment and status is between a knight and a baron, but in front of the law, it is a position that awaits you with an infinitely shabby reality. If we classify them strictly by law, they are commoners, so the immunity of nobles does not apply properly, and since all the money they spit out when they commit a crime is returned to the national treasury, there is a tendency for them to be beaten more sensitively and harshly by the law..

The royal authority may be weak, but if it were a royal family that I experienced in the capital, it would definitely turn on the fire in its eyes and rush in to suck out the bone marrow. This time, they arbitrarily distributed overdraft tickets just because it was in my front yard, so it’s not worth mentioning..

Still, there was nothing bad about it from my perspective. Thanks to the inexplicable interference of the people, the actions I took were put under control..

If Buks had not intervened, the lord of the gateway city would have felt uncomfortable inside, but would have had to cry and declare him not guilty because there was no justification, but now he is trying to figure out and evaluate all the corruption and problems that arose due to his involvement, so he should have rewarded me instead. I ended up doing this..

How do you know that? Because now, on the morning of my second day lounging around in my familiar temporary detention center, an unintended visitor showed up and told me everything..

"...So I realized. As expected, what moved you was patriotism.!"

The name of the visitor, whose appearance was strange, the words he spoke were strange, and even the way he misinterpreted my intentions, was Messina Vans da Itisel. You will become a princess.

Thanks to this, I had to struggle to be polite by holding on with all my might to the facial muscles that were trying to distort uncontrollably..

"Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...."

"'Eldmia Egar, a citizen of the kingdom, I don't know what to do with the princess's praise.' Is that what you said? Is he hurt anywhere? A priest right away..."

"Haha... it's okay..."

It seemed that Princess Messina clearly had enough sense to clearly recognize the discomfort and dissatisfaction that I openly expressed, but she did not pay the slightest attention to my attitude that could be called careless and steadfastly maintained her position. No, not only did she keep her place, but she even continued the story as she pleased..

"I never imagined I'd meet you here. Since my brother was busy, I came instead, but it wasn't a bad choice. Nice to meet you!"

"In my opinion, it was a very bad choice.."

"Isn't appreciation of the results of choices and decisions relative? It's already too late to consider a reward for the courage and loyalty you demonstrated by defeating Envelde, so I wanted to have a private, official meeting at least once.!"

"I believe that your plan is to blatantly ignore the request I made last time.."

"Is that possible? Eldmia said at the time that she hoped there would never be an ‘encounter like this’, right? So she didn't go looking for him secretly. That promise will continue to be kept.."

At that time, I thought I would never meet again in my life since I was separated from Hankyu, but I was afraid that someone might not be royalty, so my skill in wielding words was sharp..

"...That makes perfect sense. I learned a lesson. But why did you come to such a squalid place??"

"Since there is a person guilty of high treason who committed insult to the royal family, wouldn't it be right for a member of the royal family to personally judge him??"

Sibaal. There was definitely such a practice, but anyone could see it was just an excuse..

"I know it's become a thing of the past, but."

It was a law that was only put into practice when the kingdom was at a low level and royal authority needed to be strengthened. No matter how many times you fly on a flying dragon, it takes days and days until the end of the kingdom, so it's impossible for a busy royal family to be absent all the time for such trivial matters..

Of course, there was no way Princess Messina did not know that fact..

"It was like that. Around the 100th anniversary of the founding of ITIL. Still, the law is the law.?"

If you look at the fact that you came this far by citing such outdated information, it is clear that you have already made up your mind. If it was just her business, it probably wouldn't have mattered, but unfortunately, it didn't seem like her decision to fly away like this had anything to do with me..

"I just didn't want to miss the opportunity to return the favor. Because I already missed it once.."

"...As you probably already know, this was a problem that would not have ended without the princess's help.."

"Unfortunately, that's the case! So, as a result, I visited under the pretext of saying hello to someone who helped the royal family.!"

I sighed once more as I watched Princess Messina respond immediately as if she was disappointed in the world, and decided to correct the most fundamental misunderstanding first..

"Let's say it's all good, but what do you mean by the patriotism I mentioned earlier??"

And I had to work hard to correct the grossly distorted interpretation and distortion..

Fortunately, as a person with insight and intelligence, Messina's misunderstanding was easily resolved..

It was not the expected result, but the Princess of Messina coolly left the place, saying that there was a harvest, and the guild receptionist, Kunz, visited as if to touch the baton. At first, I thought he was just here to pay the quest fee and take care of the loss of my loot, but what Kunz said was an apology for being forced into the city's affairs..

"I should have moved before Eldmia got caught up... but my decision was late. There is no shame."

I was wondering how it was possible for the news to come so quickly from the capital, but it seems that from the moment I entered the waterway, I couldn't stand the guild leader's dogmatism and started making accusations. I think that's why you didn't see me when I was messing around in the guild..

Since he was a member of the guild, he couldn't have been unaware of the guild leader's corruption, but he was also a person who had to make a living in the city, so he closed one eye and was hissing. As someone who lived as a cog in modern society, he was not aware of his feelings and situation, so he was not particularly angry. Of course, the fact that I really liked the story about post-processing that followed that explanation also played a part..

"The personal assets embezzled and hidden by Gronzel have already been discovered. There was no horse there, but fortunately, Eldmia's loot seemed to be still there. Here is a document in which the loot, estimated damage, and additional compensation are recorded before being returned to the national treasury.."

"...It was pretty fast.?"

"That's why I couldn't come see you right away. Employees had to gather together and work all night for two days.."

Somehow, dark circles are no joke. I thought it was a lot of emotional distress, but I guess I took care of it as a top priority because I didn't know when I would explode again. Anyway, it was a good story for me, so I nodded, keeping my expression appropriate, and slowly checked the document Kunz held out..

There was a lot of content written, but it was organized concisely. As an apology, he plans to purchase my loot at 1.5 times the price. Not only will Englem provide a horse to replace the dead warhorse, but the lord will personally apologize to the Ogatorf family and pay reasonable compensation through the appropriate procedures. It was enough to say that it was satisfactory for the fact that it was a meeting, and the amount of money that was given not only as compensation for dealing with the bandits in the waterway, but also in recognition of the contribution that made a significant contribution to the stability of the city..

But what I liked most was that it acknowledged my self-defense and officially declared in the name of the lord that I was not guilty of any crime..

"I'm glad that the lord is a man of sense.."

"He is a good person. He is also someone who sees this incident as an opportunity to reflect on his own shortcomings.."

I couldn't tell how sincere that was, but I guess that's what city people say. Those who leave need only take what they deserve and leave..

"Regardless of the compensation, the Englem Adventurer's Guild will not forget the help given by Eldmia. If you need our help with anything, we're here to help.."

It's so funny to hear things like this when all I can do is beat, destroy, and kill people for help..

"Well, I won’t give specifications. When can I receive the things written in the document??"

"We are moving you to the inn you are already staying at. I'm just here to tell you that your detention is over and to give you some documents.."

Of all the words I heard today, this is my favorite..

I left the detention center feeling like a reservist being released early..
