Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 259

"I want to tell you in advance that it was just two days ago that I found out that I was going to the academy. Stop the heartache!"

As soon as I got home, I didn't even check to see if Cheryl was there. Fortunately, the words I said didn't end up being empty nonsense..

After petting Laika, who was being held by Cheryl and running towards me, I raised my head and Cheryl, who had frozen in the same posture as when she was sitting and talking with Asilier, asked me with a confused expression..

"how?"

"As soon as I heard the story from Master, I got the feeling. I guess I was your exclusive butler based on my form??"

2If he can work as an exclusive butler for nearly a year and still be confused because he doesn't know his personality, that's probably his own ability. incompetence. This is a far cry from the ability that made some users who initially treated them as paratroopers put zippers on their mouths..

"I was already planning to invite you later, but your temperament saved me the trouble. how is it? Isn’t it a nice house??"

"...I mean it sincerely.?"

"Uh huh. You should look at it with the sensibility of an adventurer, not the sensibility of an aristocrat.."

"You know it's not like that.."

"Eh?"

As I confidently looked around the house, I looked down at Cheryl and saw that she was looking at me with eyes that I had never expected. what? Why do you react like I'm sure I know, but I don't know?

"Whatever you did... no matter how much it was for you, it wasn't something that would end in a reward like this.."

"...ah."

I see He doesn't know about the secret friendship between the nobility and the royal family..

Only then did I understand the true nature of the resentment and resentment in Cheryl's eyes. Still, I can't help but laugh when I see him getting more upset than the other person because he has a lot of affection from living together for two years..

"Oh my, you are amazing. So I was so upset that I was about to cry.?"

"never been like that."

When I showed her the long cat Cheryl for the first time in a while, she laughed and made a quick face, but the interesting thing was that she didn't hesitate to reject my touch. It's like seeing a fantasy sister who listens well even though she grunts. While she was doing this, Asilier came up next to her and joined the conversation with a smile..

"When I first came, I was really surprised because he looked like the world was collapsing.."

"Well, I never did that.."

"You really can't lie. Look at the horse stuttering. Since you're already here, let's eat and leave.."

"That's right. Anyway, I said I had no class today so I was free.?"

I remember feeling a bit distant when I stayed at the mansion, and I don't know if it was because we had some conversation while I was away, but Asilier made an invitation quite naturally. She doesn't seem to be particularly one-sided, as Cheryl nods her head vaguely and accepts her suggestion. But she wasn't so simple that the dissatisfaction she had been harboring could go away, so even after I put her down again and ruffled her hair once, Cheryl just looked at me with an expression that she still had a lot to say..

"Why again."

"...I could have been a nobleman."

"Hi go."

Cheryl was muttering as if she had a lot to say, but I found it funny that she had a hard time getting the words out and ended up saying the same thing, so I took off my coat and reminded her of the facts she had forgotten..

"If I had been concerned about things like that, I would have already been an imperial noble.?"

"...Mmm."

It's like he understands something, but doesn't want to understand it at all. Like the princess, she probably doesn't want to believe that I'm staying in this country out of patriotism..

"And it wasn't just the house that I received. She put the money into Remielska's bank account guaranteed by the royal family without any regrets, and with the noble house's help in an incident that happened a few days ago, the work was completed much faster than she expected. She even received a medal that she will never use, so I am rather satisfied.."

Cheryl, who looked back after speaking while lifting Laika, who was jumping up and down and begging to be hugged, still seemed to regret something, but seemed to understand it to some extent. Of course, from her perspective now, it's obvious what she doesn't like..

"Does it really bother you that my contribution is diminished in the nobles' battle for profit and loss??"

"of course."

If it were another noble, it would be a situation where they would feel bad considering their own prestige. This is a world where the loyalty and reputation of the knights under your command enhance the honor of the nobles. However, this bold genius girl has the idea of ​​taking care of her own prestige, so the reason she is doing this right now is purely because of me..

"Think simply. I am Eldmia Ega. Isn't there a reason why a crazy person who starts out with a knife when he jokes stays still??"

Even though I saw that, I felt sorry for hiding the truth and making her worry, so I hinted at her, and Cheryl, who had been stunned for a moment, made a quick face and punched me in the forearm..

"No, you just need to tell me that in advance.."

"evil! Do I need to say it in words so you know? It's your fault for getting lost and forgetting the fundamentals.?"

What a shameful year. In times like this, it would have been better for you to have less understanding or not know me very well. But since the water had already spilled, I had to rub Asilier's back while she was moving to help her prepare the meal..

In the end, Cheryl's violence, which was not violence, stopped only after she placed Laika in her arms, rolled up her arms, and started cooking. Still, since she was the first guest at the new house, I brought a whole chicken prepared from the cellar as a housewarming ceremony, and I couldn't take my eyes off her because she was quite hungry. It's hard to tell which of the three warriors would attach a chicken to their nose. The chicken here may have been transformed into a demonic beast, but it is almost the size of a turkey, so it can easily serve as a main dish. As usual, you will know that it takes a while to cook, but if Rie uses a little of her elemental magic, it will be reduced to half of the time, so there is no shortage..

It was a table set for almost 6 people, but no one hesitated because it was crowded, making it truly a warrior's table. We started eating right away without even having time to feast our eyes on the food that was prepared in just 30 minutes..

"Come to think of it, I'm going to work as a teaching assistant starting tomorrow.."

"A magic instructor who can't use magic is a bit funny, isn't it??"

"Uh huh, I can't use magic. It's like lighting a spark."

"That's a little better than a match flame.."

"Write. It's a lot better than a match. What do you mean?."

There is no risk of it going out before you become aware of it, so there is no need to rush for fear of it burning out. No matter where you look, it's perfect upward compatibility, but the evaluation is too poor..

Of course, as Cheryl said, being an assistant to a magic professor is a bit frustrating. I tore two chicken legs and gave one to Asili and one to Cheryl, adding some explanation..

"Master said there wouldn't be anything special to do. Actually, for a while, I'll be helping with chores rather than practical work.."

"...Now that I think about it, I have a question.."

"What?"

"Why on earth did the former court wizard Regneva want to make you his disciple??"

I don't know if it was because Cheryl wasn't an aristocrat or if it was just convenient, but I had to stop for a moment when Cheryl asked a question as she was eating a chicken leg with her bare hands. Come to think of it, I didn't even explain it to him..

"Geeugeeueh... I need to explain...."

"It has something to do with your use of magic.?"

No, how did you figure that out??

I quickly shifted my gaze to Asilier, but even Asilier, who was tearing off a chicken leg with a happy expression, was embarrassed by my gaze and just shook her head. That's not what Asilier said? I don't remember saying that either.?

"Why are you so observant? I can't really feel the aura, but my magic is mediocre, and it's not like I specialize in elemental magic. But if you beat the warrior, the demon, and cut down Envelde and the knights under his command, wouldn't it make more sense to say that you use magic like a demon except that you're not a human??"

"...Isn't it more likely that I'm not human??"

"If we were strangers, the chances would be higher, but we're not the only ones left.."

yes. I spent a lot of time doing that. I guess I overlooked the fact that she understands me just as much as I understand Cheryl..

But do you usually even think about it that far? In modern times, it's a leap to the point where one of the magicians was actually a magician. This time, when I couldn't understand it easily and was still unable to move my hand, Cheryl opened her eyes and continued speaking..

"How long do you think I've been watching your sword and movements? My name is Cheryl Csin Ogatorp. Even if I couldn't beat you, I'm a genius."

It can be said that he is truly confident to say something like that with the attitude of calmly telling the truth without any sign of shame. While I was dumbfounded by her confidence that I had met for the first time in a while, Asilier, who had been rolling her eyes for a moment, intervened and changed the topic..

"Have you never beaten L.D.? It's a bit odd for me to say this, but the elf swordsmanship taught to Eldy was really the most basic of basics.?"

In some ways, the words could have been taken as a provocation, but Cheryl nodded as she plucked the chicken leg like nothing had happened..

"Swordsmanship was like that. However, Eldmia put a lot of effort into swinging the sword itself rather than swordsmanship. I don't know what was in his mind, but even Gomtaeng, who is said to be swinging his sword the hardest in the academy right now, probably swings it less than Eldmia.."

"I can see that?"

"It's so clear that you can't even tell. If I train for another two years, I'll have the ability to somehow win with technology, but that's just Eldmia as of now. If you keep training, you will be able to win with swordsmanship alone in 4 years at the earliest.."

"Well... there's an estimate.?"

I always thought he was a genius, a genius. It was my first time hearing him say it so directly, so it was very unfamiliar, so I looked at him with suspicious eyes, and Cheryl snorted and said with a faint smile..

"That's why you're ordinary and I'm a genius. It's strange that you are overpowering that gap with training. It was good for me because I realized my own laziness and shortcomings thanks to that strangeness.."

I was kind of swinging it around like a crazy person. Because he practiced swinging his sword perfectly in all directions..

At the time, I thought a lot about whether this was really meaningful, but it feels good to hear this recognition..
