Never touch Eldmia Egar-Episode 279
Siegfried grew up working in the empire and seeing a much more diverse group of people than others thought..
This was possible because he was born from a border city far from the center of the empire, where there were more adventurers than ordinary citizens. Although he came to this world in the form of possession, the god who invited him to this world left intact the memories of the original owner of his body, and Siegfried was able to avoid being seen as a poor child who later became an idiot..
No, he says he was possessed, but perhaps he was just belatedly realizing his past life and was reincarnated in this body from the beginning. But I couldn't be sure because the boundaries of my memories were so vague. It's just that the memories of my past life are so vivid and intense that I just think it's possession..
Anyway, thanks to that, Siegfried was able to see a much more diverse group of people compared to his previous life. There were many low-lifes, such as a wizard whose wrist was blown off while playing a dice scam, a warrior who cut off the wizard's wrist but was burned to death because he couldn't block the spell, and a thief who thoughtlessly attempted pickpocketing and ended up with a fist-sized hole in his solar plexus. But there were more people suffering from monsters than that..
The reason why refugees damaged by monsters flocked to border cities more than other regions was simple. This is because the empire attempted to expand its territory into lands beyond its borders, where development had been half-abandoned due to excessive distribution of monsters..
It was kind of like the Wild West era, but the big difference was that the natives were monsters stronger than ordinary humans, and as a result, many settlements were created and disappeared repeatedly. And in the process, the first safe human territory that those who survived arrived at was the border city where Siegfried lived. Therefore, Siegfried had many opportunities to see many different people who lost everything overnight..
Such people overcame their wounds in their own way, but those who used revenge as their driving force were unable to have normal human relationships, and those who decided to build a new life chose to move away from the unexplored land, where only painful memories remained. Even those who managed to overcome it most well lived their lives with a mindset similar to a kind of liberation, far from revenge. That's why Siegfried found it very strange that Eldmia was able to distinguish between revenge and everyday life, as if dividing public and private affairs..
At the same time, I had a reasonable suspicion that there might be something that wasn't apparent..
"The house... is very stylish.?"
"It's a long-awaited home, so I worked hard to decorate it. It's plausible.?"
Even though it was a coincidence, that was the reason why I wanted to come home..
Eldmia could become a more powerful helper than anyone he had ever seen, and as Siegfried was at least somewhat serious about saving humanity, she was a talent he definitely wanted to recruit. However, after finding out, he didn't want the ending to be that he went crazy and became a ticking time bomb in a part that wasn't shown to others, so he tried to take a light approach but leave out the intention as much as possible..
Although it was not easy due to my own lack of ability. Siegfried, who had vowed to put an end to his Eld Mia evaluation form today, looked around his house without even having a chance to see the Welsh Corgi running inside excitedly..
It was an extremely ordinary house... no, rather, it was a house that had a much more lived-in smell compared to the average in another world. Adventurers who risk their lives to make a lot of money invest most of their earnings in equipment or spend it on entertainment, while ordinary citizens tend not to have a lot of wealth to accumulate something in a stable manner, but Eldmia shows what happens if you spend a lot of money in a stable manner. The house was decorated to resemble a specimen shown. Thanks to this, Siegfried, who had been looking at the house with sincerity for a moment without realizing it, had no choice but to ask a question in an awkward tone..
"Did you pack this by yourself? Without Asilier's help?"
"Ah, yes. My older sister said she doesn't have much sense in this regard, so I worked hard on my own. Elves have a chronic disease?"
Well, Entire was like that too. The dorm room used by Entire was not a pig pen, but it was difficult to understand why it was arranged this way. Siegfried nodded his head at the consensus that had suddenly and naturally formed, gathered himself again, and naturally headed to the fireplace. And he asked, looking at the pile of documents that were the only mess in the neatly decorated house..
"What is this, piled up like this? It's firewood?"
"Whoa... Ah, that's not really wrong. Those are documents received from the Holy Light Cross. If you're bored, watch it for a moment. It will be helpful. sister? ruler?"
For a moment, Siegfried looked at Eldmia, who answered as if it was no big deal and went up to the second floor to find Asilier, then decided to accept the landlord's consideration and looked through the documents..
"...They gave me this document?"
And I was surprised. From the beginning, there were several contents that were to be treated as internal secrets in the Imperial Spiritual Assembly. Siegfried noticed that the situation was similar in other documents he had looked at, and shook his head with a pretended serious expression..
"He couldn't have just given it to you... If he was directly related to the Holy Light Cross, he would have been involved in this matter, so did he receive it in exchange for catching that demon?...?"
I checked the stove to see if there were any burning pieces of paper left inside. Fortunately, it didn't take long to understand what that meant..
Read it all and burn it. It's a scene you'd only see in a spy movie..
[What are you so suspicious of?.]
[Eldmia's mental state.]
The spirit that left the house for a moment returned without a word and spoke to him, but Siegfried was not surprised and looked at the pile of documents and the house again..
Even looking at it again, it was messy. In my clean house, the only thing left was a pile of confidential documents from the Holy Light Cross Society..
[I wish I had a talent for psychology. Do you have anything like that??]
[I don't even know what you're talking about.]
Siegfried clicked his tongue at the sour reaction of the spirit bastard, who was of no help other than when fighting, but mobilized all his abilities and came up with a hypothesis. Is leaving those documents unorganized and then burning them simply because they are things that will be burned anyway, or is it some kind of violence motivated by a desire for revenge?.
If it is the latter, does this mean that Eldmia has a strong anger and aggression that makes her treat each object separately, and that she is clearly controlling it??
Is that... generally possible? Or is it possible because there is something mentally wrong?.
[At least I'm sure I can't.]
Is it for no reason that the term ‘venting one’s anger’ is used? This was at a level that went far beyond what could be called selective anger management disorder..
[I have seen cases where other races are suppressed by reason, but it is rare among humans..]
Siegfried, who had gathered his thoughts a little due to the unexpected support fire from the spirit that he thought would not be of any help to his meditation, raised his head as he came to his senses at the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. And he made direct eye contact with Asilier, who was being carried down by Eld Mia in a half-asleep state..
"Hey, hey! If you had a guest, you should have told them you were there! What is this?!"
"Ah, ouch! What are you talking about, sister! I told you! I answered in my sleep again!"
"Come on, get off quickly.!"
"Anyway, just scroll down to the bottom. What is dangerous..."
Siegfried chuckled as he watched Eldmia come down in awe while receiving Asilier's fist on her back, which didn't seem to hurt much..
If you think about it carefully, there was a story that even modern people on Earth live with at least one mental illness. Because I had become so accustomed to the standards of this world, I was anxious that if I had a mental problem, a big problem would inevitably arise, but seeing things like that made me even think that it was a useless gimmick..
To begin with, he has a different taste from people from this world. He was an unusual guy in that he was free-spirited and not particularly tied down by religion or social status, so it seemed likely that he might have something special about his mentality that made him different from others. Maybe he's a real hero.
"Brother. Do you really want to join our party??"
In that case, you really had to join the party. Just as it wasn't a joke to come here after dying, the threat to humanity would also be no joke. Eld Mia, who was shaking her head as she saw Asilier enter the kitchen with her face red and saying that she would prepare her meal, reacted as if she was dumbfounded by Siegfried's words..
"Do you still have regrets? I thought the story was all sorted out when I came here.."
"No matter how much you think about it, there are few people as talented as your younger brother.."
"I don't. Still, if you have a problem that you can't handle, I'll help you, so don't give up.."
"Eh? really?"
Isn't that more annoying than joining the party? Without even having time to express her question, she continued speaking as if Elde Mia holding the Welsh Corgi was no big deal..
"Isn’t it obvious? Even if I die soon, I am still a hero. Of course, my job comes first, but I have no intention of not helping at all.."
"...her."
It was ridiculous, but Siegfried couldn't help but laugh..
When faced with a problem that even a warrior can't handle, he says he will help you without any hesitation, so what can you say?.
