Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 260
After finishing the meal and chatting for a while, Cheryl neatly returned to the academy..
The complaints that I had been treated unfairly due to the influence of the Noble House disappeared to some extent, and the fact that I had not said anything even though I came to the academy ended up as "I didn't know," so it was a natural reaction. Before leaving, I looked at the documents with the seal of the Holy Light Cross Society piled up next to the fireplace, but did not ask any particular questions. I couldn't tell if it was because I realized what those documents meant, or because I didn't think it was a big deal..
“Then we'll see tomorrow..”
“...Did you come without saying anything??”
Since there were no horses in the stable, I assumed they would have had them wait somewhere nearby after riding in the carriage, but I was dumbfounded by Cheryl's reaction as she tried to walk back so naturally, so I asked a question, and the answer came back as if it was no big deal, nodding in a calm manner..
“I came running. If you want to rent a horse at the academy, the process is cumbersome..”
“No, you had a good time last time with Ragnis..”
“I was forced to ride it. I already got a warning about that, so I noticed it twice..”
It was funny that it was more surprising that he took such action but was noticed in the end than the fact that he forcibly took the Academy's horse and rode it, but anyway, he said it was nothing, so he decided to just do it. So she came back after seeing Cheryl off and was helping Asilier clean up after her and was washing her dishes. Asilier, who had finished clearing the table, smiled and spoke to her..
“It's so amazing. We talked for a while before L.D. came, but I didn't know how they were so similar..”
“It's not similar at all.”
“You're the only one who doesn't know. They just say it nicely, but the ideas and principles of action are really similar.?”
“My rich sensibility and vocabulary are on a different level from Cheryl's..”
“It's because the formalities of nobility are strict and the need to control one's emotions is ingrained in one's body. Actually, L.D., who was the exclusive butler, doesn't know the best.?”
I kept my mouth shut for a moment so as not to fall for Asilier's subtle conversational skills as she smiled and asked for an answer. Silence is positive, but it's the best I can do..
know. It's not because I feel like a younger brother. However, when facts are thrust in front of people, most people react with rejection. It's even more shameful because I'm the result of a past life steeped in the world and an unjust death, and she's just an innocent 15-year-old. Since this was a secret that I couldn't tell yet, I calmed down and sat down by the fireplace again and started reading the documents..
“If you think about it, aren't you going to work at the academy now? The clothes you are going to wear are okay.?”
“Oh right. The story already came up when I visited the Noble House. You can pick it up tomorrow morning by stopping by the clothing store they told you about..”
While I was stroking Laika, who naturally came up to me and placed his heavy body on my thigh, and was looking at a document summarizing the changes that had occurred among the Crusaders over the years, a passing memory came back to me when I heard a question asked by Asilier as she came and sat across from me. . I also roughly got her address. It was probably in her coat pocket.?
Aside from the fact that it was a gift from the Duke of Lesrom, I asked how they found out my measurements and it turned out that it was the talented maid at the temporary detention center, Mr. Messiela. However, it is not said that he was planted as a spy, but that he voluntarily worked at the detention center for some reason, but the competent and quiet maid seems to have a lot of stories behind him..
It was a story that was ignored because she didn't really harm her and rather led a comfortable life. As she spoke in what felt like an after-dinner chat, Asilier shook her head and laughed softly..
"No matter how much I think about it, these are not the things a 15-year-old would go through or the people he would meet.."
"flaw. I know."
It was so true that I couldn't help but laugh this time..
◈
As the cold got stronger, it became really difficult to wake up early in the morning, but since it was a day when I had to go out, I crawled out of bed and carefully prepared breakfast so as not to wake Asilier, who was sleeping..
[master. I'm going out today too?]
"Now I have to go out almost every day.."
[Leica goes with me too?]
"uh. you go too."
I didn't want to leave him alone until I cooperated with Seneran and found out more about his condition, and although I wasn't sure if he was a real Welsh Corgi or a pseudo-Welsh Corgi, I made the decision because I thought it would be beneficial in many ways to take him for walks rather than keeping him confined to the house. Laika loves the world and starts wagging his tail vigorously..
The more I look at it, the more absurd it becomes. How on earth did they think of using this guy as material for a magic sword? It is clear that the ancient magic sword makers were all psychopaths who lacked empathy..
It was a little early, as most of the stores in the capital city had barely opened, but it might be better to leave early as repairs might need to be made. I finished the last sandwich with a sip of milk and left the house with Laika as soon as I was ready to go out..
At the same time, the cold that greeted me so fiercely made me curse..
People are said to be adaptable creatures, but we cannot adapt to this damn cold either in our past life or in our present life. Of course, the cold here is harsher than in Korea, and even though my body is much better trained than before, there are many problems with comparing it to this cold, but what can I do when it's so cold that I get cursed. But you can't curse God, so you have to curse the cold..
It wasn't a particularly urgent situation, nor was it impossible to deal with, but I was afraid of what kind of harsh criticism I would hear if I used the spirit as a portable hand warmer, so I braved the cold with only my clothes and arrived at the clothing store, which was located in the dwarven district. Ever since I heard that Duke Lesrom had prepared something, I've felt vague signs that something like this would happen, but it's a truly burdensome situation..
In this world, most luxury goods are made by dwarves, and it is no different from clothing..
As various functions are added in conjunction with magic, it is a luxury item that provides both convenience and style to nobles, and it is a lifeline item that adventurers want to buy once they earn a lot of money. Most products ask, ‘Why is this so expensive?’ Rather, it can be said to be a true luxury product because it is at a level where you can't help but think, 'Oh, that's why it's expensive.'.
However, it is only considered a luxury product if the quality is right. If a mere blue-level adventurer wears it, he or she will be laughed at in many ways....
"Oh, I see.."
While I was thinking alone, I came to a belated realization, sighed, and entered the store without saying a word. To be honest, since you are becoming a student of an academy professor who was a former court wizard, you need to maintain some kind of dignity. If so, you should receive it generously..
The clothing store that was opened like that impressed people with its very old-fashioned design, with furniture that smelled of wood, many well-organized fabrics, and not many mannequins and costumes were calmly placed. While I was looking around unconsciously at the sight, which caught my attention more than most mugu stores, an elderly dwarf who was sitting alone drinking coffee and reading a newspaper turned his gaze towards me and said, adjusting his glasses..
"hmm? I came here early in the morning."
"...do you know who i am?"
"I know. reservation guest."
These days, I feel like I'm getting more and more confused without even realizing it. Does what the old man just said mean the same as saying that I am the only guest today??
The old dwarf, who had placed the newspaper and coffee neatly on the table, approached me at a leisurely pace, tilted his head to take a quick look, and then spoke naturally..
"Hmm, the person who measured it was very accurate. There's no need to fix it."
Mr. Balkun was also a craftsman who could guess the weapon I was using just by looking at him, so that wasn't surprising. I did as the Confucian dragon inside my body told me to do and greeted the old man..
"...It's late to say hello, sir. It's called Eldmia Ega.."
"Heh, you're polite. He doesn't look like he was born noble.?"
"I ended up here by chance, but I'm just an adventurer.."
Even at a glance, the old man, who had the scent of a craftsman like Mr. Balkun, smiled a smile that could be felt even beyond his abundant white beard..
"It just so happens that this isn't a place where you can get clothes tailored.?"
"That's right. Thanks to you, I am dumbfounded.."
I expressed my honest feelings without hesitation, but for some reason, the old man just smiled cheerfully..
"What a fun human friend. Did you know what kind of clothes it was??"
"Actually, I came here without any knowledge. I just thought it was something I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear when I followed my teacher into the academy as an assistant.."
"LOL. that's right. It's clothes that you can wear without being embarrassed. I know enough to know."
An old man who lifted a long pole and took out a piece of clothing hanging on the wall, saying something that did not match the atmosphere he was giving off in a place full of clothes that were not only embarrassing but eye-catching, as if it was a really insignificant item. He handed it over to me..
"Wizards are a group of people who dress in sloppy clothes, so they have a knack for making viewers have stereotypes, whether they know it or not. Thanks to this, I look like a wizard even with just a cape on. So, I just made the clothes to suit you and make it easier for you to move around. However, the coat and cape won't bother you. Go in and try it on. I kept my shoes inside, so I changed them.."
The movement of swiping the pole and pointing to the locker room is very natural. Feeling intimidated for no reason, I headed to the locker room with a quick look in my eyes, but the old man seemed more interested in Laika waiting behind me..
It took me a while to change my clothes because I was becoming cautious about what I wore, but I couldn't help but be amazed every time I put on each item of clothing..
It was such a perfect fit that I regret not being able to compare it since I have never worn a custom-made outfit in my life. It holds where it needs to be held and gives room where it needs to be relaxed enough to not be uncomfortable. I like the design as well as the fit. What the old man called shoes had a visual that wouldn't be out of place even if it were called combat boots, not shoes, but they were exquisitely hidden by suit pants, so at a glance they looked like just shoes, and the top and cape had minimal flashy decorations, so it was clearly more practical rather than decorative. I felt like there was more emphasis on.
"Now that I think about it, what do you think of the cape? I made it so that it doesn't bother me when I draw my sword or something.."
"Very comfortable. But how did you know I was a warrior??"
"The recipient was in your name. Don't you know you're famous??"
Since I always meet only human beings, it feels very awkward to have a conversation about my fame in this way..
"Well, I only meet people I don’t know well...."
Thanks to that, I hesitated to answer, but the old man burst into laughter and said something insignificant in a tone that said it was still no big deal..
"That's a big deal. There's probably no one at the academy who doesn't know this.."
Haze disease.
I guess there were rumors about his actions in the empire, right? I was banned from imitating the knight in the fairy tale..
