Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 270

Nobles in this world usually eat long meals..

For commoners, in most cases, it is simply an area of ​​nutritional intake for survival, but nobles eat leisurely to show off that they do not live under time constraints like commoners. Due to the plausible yet idiotic logic that being able to eat delicious food warmly and for a long time is a sign of nobility, the average meal time goes by an hour, and as a result, we tend to talk a lot during that time. The fact that you waste time like that even when you don't have anything to talk about is another thing that makes people suffocate... But anyway, that's it..

In modern times, I finished my meal in 15 minutes and went to get coffee. Even if I was reincarnated, it was a culture I was unfamiliar with. Of course, that was eating too quickly to the point where it wasn't good for my health, so I've corrected my eating habits now, but eating for more than an hour is still a hardship in many ways. Like other Auror users, his metabolism is not normal, so even though he eats a lot, he finishes his meal in about 30 minutes..

"The best thing about the academy is that you don't have to make your meals unnecessarily long.."

And the same goes for Cheryl..

He eats so much food that I don't understand how he can fit so much food into such a small body, and like me, he is not one of those people who can tolerate long meals. I wondered how a child born from the bones of a knight could do something like that, but once I came up with the hypothesis that there might be a serious flaw in his sense of taste, things started to come together and I started to understand..

Gourmet is one of the few contents that knights who value honor and moderation can enjoy without worrying about what others think, but with their tongues shaped like that, I can't help but like it..

"It's a shame that that good period only lasts two years.."

"...I don't go to the academy just to eat.."

After briefly exchanging silly jokes, Griwills hesitated for a moment as we began to eat our generous pile of food. At first, he tried to eat at our pace, but he soon shook his head and gave up, clearing his throat and speaking. I walked.

"It looks like the friendship between Ms. Ogatorp and the teaching assistant is very strong.."

After gathering my thoughts for a moment by throwing some filleted chicken to Laika, who was greedy about eating even though he didn't really need food, I nodded appreciatively of his efforts to continue the conversation in a gentle manner. answered.

"The relationship between employer and employee is quite amicable.."

I had a desire to embarrass Cheryl by listing her unreasonable violence and actions, but I had to give up because I had already decided on a blunt concept. If you bring up such a story, you will naturally make fun of her child..

"Honestly, it's amazing. No matter how kindly I treat them, they are very cold to me.."

"I don't feel like it because I think you have something up to do.."

"It's always like that. As the child of an arms dealer, I just want to have a good relationship with the knight family, but it feels unfair.."

Griwills smiled as if he was embarrassed... but honestly, if I hadn't seen his swordsmanship, I would have thought he was just a dirty black guy, so it was very difficult to take his side. However, I can't say that the problem is your appearance and behavior, which is like the cliche of a black-faced, narrow-eyed person..

"Just think that the child is still young and has no eyes for people.."

"......"

The restaurant was very lively as I looked around calmly, trying to ignore the reactions of Cheryl, who was wide-eyed, and Griwills, who was shaking his head and smiling. What I've seen over the past few days has been full of student-like energy, but whether it's the power of the extravagant buffet or the appearance of the hero, the tension has risen to the point where it feels like it's a bit too much..

"It is no exaggeration to say that this is a festival.."

"Actually, isn't it a festival? The demon that almost shook a religious order has been subdued, and a group of warriors are making a heroic return.."

"...That's what I heard?"

Maybe it's because every single day of my life is so spectacular, but until Griwills spoke, I felt like there was really nothing to worry about other than food..

"I guess my life was so twisted that I couldn't feel any emotion.."

"You've been through a lot...!"

Sigh! The sound came from under the table so loudly that it could be heard through the surrounding noise. When I turned my head, I saw Grewils gritting his teeth and Cheryl glaring at him, and I could immediately understand what he had done just by looking at him..

"Have you ever seen me care about that? Why are you hitting that kid?."

"I didn't hit you. I guess I hit the table alone.."

"Put spit on your mouth and lie..."

While I was clicking my tongue at the excessively shameless Cheryl, the surroundings suddenly started to become twice as noisy. At the same time, the students moved towards the entrance of the cafeteria, and Cheryl, who was watching them, burst into laughter and said,.

"It's like watching the first day you came."

hmm. Are you saying I was shaking like this that day too? I was staring blankly at the seemingly endless crowd of people at the entrance, feeling that the kids must have been full of energy. Soon, students began to make their way in at a rapid pace, as if an automatic door was opening..

"Aren’t you embarrassed in front of the warrior? Be quiet, be quiet.!"

Who was it? I think it was a professor of pure swordsmanship, but I can't remember his name. Anyway, the students began to cheer like crazy, ignoring the shouts of the swordsmanship professor, who boasted sturdy muscles despite his very stern face..

"Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!"

I don't know what kind of showmanship Siegfried displayed, but the shouts were loud enough to make the Academy's large cafeteria echo, but unexpected cheers rang out. It was a feeling that was so far away from me, but seeing the excited reactions of the students that I could tell even from afar gave me a new feeling..

As I was tearing into a chicken leg while looking at a scene that made me realize that although it may just be a bit of a pitiful Siegfried to me, to them it is a living, breathing miracle and hope, Cheryl, who was also watching the scene, turned to me and asked a question..

"Eldmia, was the hero strong??"

It's been a long time since I told Cheryl what was happening in the Empire. I also know that I won without much difficulty at the time. So this question is not simply about the strength or weakness of force..

But whether it was internal or external, the evaluation I could give was the same..

"Although he was immature in many ways... he was strong.."

Although it may still take time for him to become humanity's decisive battle weapon that encompasses swordsmanship, magic, and elemental arts, it is true that Siegfried's mental power is quite strong. If you were forcibly brought here, it would have been crooked enough, but you endured it well, right? If it were me, demon lord or anything, I would first have looked for a way to catch God by the collar..

"Well, if you work hard, won’t you become a person worthy of being a hero??"

"Doesn't that mean it's not yet??"

"At least the last time I saw him he was a bit lacking.."

Griwills began to look at me and the hero alternately with a very confused expression as he spoke sincerely and without any pretense..

"Don't look at it that way. The bad relationship is..."

It looked like he was awkwardly caught up in a relationship between friends and was embarrassed after accidentally hearing a bad word, so I opened my mouth to give him an additional explanation to avoid any misunderstandings..

"Brother! Brother is here!"

Siegfried, who spotted me from afar, smiled very cheerfully and waved his hand. In an instant, everyone's eyes were on me, but all I saw was the by-product of the devil in his hands..

"...Because no."

It's not small. However, it is not overwhelmingly larger than the by-product I sent..

"hey! Can you see it? This is the by-product left by the demon bastard who threw the Holy Light Cross into chaos.!"

The eyes of the people who had been dumbfounded by Siegfried's unexpected actions turned all at once to the by-product he was carrying. However, Siegfried just smiled brightly and ran vigorously as if he had won. Most people were dumbfounded by his distant and rude attitude, but to me and him, that didn't matter one bit. That's because he wasn't interested in those around him who praised him from the beginning, and I was now at a crossroads where the reactions of those around me were much more important..

When I lightly raised my hand, Siegfried quickly noticed and threw the byproduct he was holding. It's a heavy, yet truly shitty feeling that you can hold in your hand with a thud. That feeling is undoubtedly a by-product of the devil..

but.

"...Isn't it smaller than the one I sent??"

As soon as I accepted it, I felt confident. Not much different from the by-product I got..

I realized it at the same time. This means that the one who uses politics first wins. Sure enough, Siegfried's face, who was laughing so hard at my words, twitched..

"what? No, no. Don't talk nonsense, dude. Look here and there, it's much bigger!"

"Did you get hurt in one of your eyes while fighting the devil? I think you've lost perspective.."

If the difference had been so big that it couldn't be overlooked, they would have been teased and boasted about during this brief meeting, but since they were so similar in size that they couldn't be distinguished unless they were directly placed on a scale and compared, Siegfried was clearly not convinced. . After making a quick decision, I decided to drive a wedge by throwing the devil's by-product at him again as if it was no big deal..

"If not, did you compare?."

"No, don't do that...! You gave it to the first princess.!"

"You didn't bring it? That's too bad. Obviously the one I sent was bigger.."

Siegfried cried out as he pulled out his hair while Cheryl looked at me and Siegfried with strange eyes and Griwills, who was confused as if he didn't know what the hell was going on..

"ah!! Is your eye sprained?!"

And I laughed to myself as I watched Siegfried get upset because he couldn't find a rebuttal..
