Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 271
The students, who had been immersed in a festival-like atmosphere as they welcomed the warrior Siegfried with great grandeur, came to their senses belatedly and began to understand the situation. In fact, it was a very pathetic action to say that it was an understanding of the situation. All I could do was stand still in a state of suspended animation, rub my eyes, and watch the casual conversation between Siegfried and Eldmia..
It was only after Siegfried complained of injustice for a long time and finally calmed down that his head turned to the strange scene that unfolded before his eyes. Eld Mia asked a question calmly as she watched Siegfried start to eat the food Eld Mia had brought him in advance while grinning..
"Don’t you think it was a good idea to go??"
Although it was said as if it was no big deal, it was very much out of common sense. Siegfried was not a man who had come to visit a tourist attraction, but a man who had returned from a battle with a powerful demon who had brought the danger of corruption into the depths of a religious order boasting a long history..
The devil is a devil no matter what anyone says. Even the most commonly seen goblins are a threat to people, and you don't have to see them with your own eyes to know how dangerous these evil creatures are, even though they defy God's will. From demons with strong actual force to demons that wreak havoc with evil schemes and magic, not a single one is easy. It is not yet known what the battle was like at the headquarters of the Holy Light Cross, but it must have been enough to write a heroic epic..
The faces of the students, who thought that talking about an arduous battle that must have been the difference between life and death in such a light way, that they would have nothing to say even if they got hit right away, suddenly stiffened, while Siegfried, who was chewing chicken with a sullen expression, realized that it was really no big deal. I nodded my head in response..
"Okay, fuck it, let's say we'll compare later. It was a good experience."
"The demon I dealt with had a knack for forcibly making people faint. The deeper your faith, the easier it was to be attacked. How was it for you??"
"He was a crazy bastard who stretched out his dirty tentacles out of pride. There is a saying that the higher-ranking demons are, the more obsessed they are with humanoid bodies, and they say he was strong even for someone who didn't have one. People in the church know the name, but I can't remember because it's such a long and winding name. There wasn't anything like the mental attack you mentioned, but it was physically annoying.."
The sight of the two of them conversing naturally, as if they were just coming back from work and reviewing, was as heterogeneous as the content of their conversation. One of the students who was slowly moving around Siegfried and Eldmia holding a tray as naturally as possible could not hold back and quietly asked his friend..
"Isn't it an exaggeration to say that being a devil... is a life's achievement?...?"
The students who heard the small murmur silently agreed, but the two who were actually talking did not seem to agree. Unlike the first meeting, the actual conversation continued very dullly and as if it were a really insignificant story. Just a moment ago, they were bickering like children over whose by-product was bigger, but now they were exchanging information with the most serious expression in the world, and even Cheryl and Grewills, who were watching from the side, were distracted..
Are we on good terms, or are we just pretending to be good friends? I couldn't tell if that was it or if we actually didn't get along very well..
"Brother. Honestly, I wonder how his younger brother caught that devil.."
"Is that so."
"Doesn’t your younger brother have a vague idea that it’s not something that can be overlooked with such a bland response? In order to catch that bastard, my Dragon Slayer suddenly became the holy sword of the Holy Light Cross. Before I was consecrated, I didn't know what the hell they could do, but I avoided it so badly.."
When Siegfried stretched out his hand into the air, the space split and a huge club-like handle popped out. What was grabbed by his hand and pulled out of space was a greatsword so large that it could easily be called a huge piece of metal. Siegfried, who was leaning on the table, handling the weapon as lightly as a long sword, which made him wonder if it would have to be of that size to cut down a dragon, continued talking while looking only at Eldmia without paying attention to his surroundings..
"It's so familiar and natural that my younger brother is capable, so I tried not to be surprised, but this time it was a bit surprising. He said he caught it without even knowing whether it was a relic bomb given to him by the church or something else.?"
"It was like that. I didn't write it accurately.."
"by what means?"
Eldmia, who calmly answered with the attitude of telling the truth, continued eating with a distraught expression and did not answer Siegfried's question. Even after a minute or two, he just ate and looked at Siegfried blankly, as if he had no intention of answering. Cold sweat began to flow from the backs of those who were trying to quietly listen to the two's story while enjoying the dinner, breaking the neutral atmosphere that filled the restaurant. did.
Siegfried, the warrior of the empire, is also famous for his temperamental personality. Aside from making achievements worthy of a warrior, the general assessment around him was that he was an extremely maverick general. The eccentricity of that man, who is like a ball that bounces and doesn't know where to go, whose moods fluctuate based on unpredictable standards, has spread to some extent, if not all..
However, the person across from him, refusing to answer and continuing to eat in silence, is Eldmia. A living, breathing typhoon and guillotine who recently shook the capital of Itisel. A man who not only had very clear standards and lines, but also had the skills to not bend those firm standards, was not a good match for Siegfried, no matter how positive he tried to think..
Didn't they say that a hero has already lost once in the empire? It wouldn't be strange to say that they miss each other and have a rematch right now..
"Let’s eat.."
The problem was that if that happened, there was no one who could stop it..
"Mr. A. Is it really like this??"
Therefore, when Siegfried grumbled, a heavy curtain fell again on the restaurant..
At the very least, it was a misunderstanding that would not have happened if Eldmia had pretended to be a knight and pretended to be friendly like when she was in the empire, but Eldmia had no intention of being considerate of those around her or breaking the concept she was maintaining..
"You know that if it would have helped, you would have told me sooner.."
"What on earth are you hiding so tightly? I'm really curious."
"The number of spleens is not usually revealed to anyone.."
That was the end of it. Siegfried was curious as if he was dying, but in the end he did not ask any more questions..
Griwills, who had been looking strangely at the corner of Sheryl's mouth twitching upward in response to Eldmia's answer, took advantage of the moment when the conversation between the two had concluded and came in, naturally mixing words together..
"I thought Assistant Professor Ega's stiff attitude was meant to alert students, but it seems that wasn't the case. It's been a long time since we sat together, but I wonder if the person in charge of the district could give us a clear statement.?"
The students who sat around and listened to the conversation between the two were all impressed by Griwills' courage. At that level, it was right to go beyond being shameless and be courageous. If it had been them, they would have carefully picked up their trays and walked away, but instead they took a step! Siegfried, who was staring blankly at Wills' smiling face, opened her mouth..
"I'm sorry to say this at first meeting, but you seem like such a dark person. who is this?"
"yes? Uh, my name is Grewils, warrior. As a successor to the small upper class, I am learning at the Royal Academy.."
"Is it a secret which top it is??"
"yes?"
When Eldmia saw that Griwills's face, who was always smiling at the strange questions and conversations she had never experienced before, turned into embarrassment, she tore up the bread she was eating and threw it at Siegfried..
The atmosphere, which had seemed to relax a little due to this extremely rude behavior, seemed to have frozen again, and unlike the people watching who could not even breathe, Siegfried chuckled as he lightly caught the piece of bread that was thrown at him..
"What kind of nonsense is this again??"
"Ah, there is such a thing. From a physiognomy perspective, this kind of friend is the dark side of the incident.?"
"Stop talking nonsense to a friend who is twice as sincere as the warrior and have a meal with him.."
"oh! Do you remember Bob? By the way, are you sincere? How do you know?"
"We sparred for a bit for class. The swordsmanship was so standard that even the warrior had to watch and learn it. Again, to the extent that even the warrior needs to watch and learn.."
"Oh really. Since then, I have been studying swordsmanship diligently.!"
Only then did the students realize. That the pressure they were feeling was just an illusion. A sigh of relief came out from the mouths of the students who discovered a human connection between two people of such distant status and fame. At least it seemed like I no longer had to suffer from indigestion due to anxiety..
"It's nice to see you so confident. I haven't been able to move much lately, so I was thinking about going for a walk, so why not do some exercise and sword sparring after eating?."
"...No, I'm not at the point where I can show it off yet...."
"The warrior was always embarrassed no matter where he was presented, so don't leave him out. It's disgusting again."
Nevertheless, they could not help but hold their tongues at Eldmia's confident attitude of sharing unconventional conversations that went beyond their common sense..
