Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 295

"I brought you a small gift. It is said that it is an item used by nobles in the winter when it tends to get dry. They say you can just place it next to the stove.."

Could it be a consumable humidifier? I don't have a housewarming culture, but seeing the sincerity with which I bought gifts, I decided to let this matter go. I accepted the gift from Zikmel and made it clear..

"Next time, even in cases like this, be sure to mention it to me first. As you know, I have more enemies than friends, right? I don't intend to ignore your ability to analyze information, but since I've been having a lot of trouble with nobles, I don't know what's going to happen.."

"I will definitely do that."

As one of the few cases of successful rehabilitation, Zikmel answered clearly and reassured me. After seeing him off with a smile on his face, I approached Yan Tie, who was standing blankly looking at Laika with an expressionless face, and he naturally turned his gaze to me..

"I thought I was done with my errands and went on my way, but that was not the case.?"

"yes. I haven't paid for my life yet."

Of course, I thought I had come for some other business, but the answer I received was completely unexpected. Is their denomination really like that? The answer was a bit absurd, so I asked myself a question without realizing it..

"Of course, from my perspective, it is difficult to say that you did the work worth the 50 gold coins above, but that was the amount offered to Envelde in the first place.?"

"Just because you pick up a gem lying on the side of the road doesn't mean its value goes down, right?."

"...Uhmmm. Come in first.."

Judging by the child's reaction, it didn't look like he would back down after only a brief conversation, so I decided to go inside the house and talk. Asilier, who came in with deep regret about not being able to complete the snowman, began to prepare drinks while we sat down at the table, and I gathered my thoughts while looking at Yan Tie, who was still remaining silent..

Honestly, no matter how much I thought about it, I really didn't have anything to ask because she was already a person outside of my head. How would you feel if you saw an employee suddenly come to work the day after his employment period ended and offer to work without pay?.

In the end, after thinking about it for a while, it was time to take a sip of the tea that Asilier gave me, and then I spoke up as if to ask her what I was up to..

"Where have you been all this time??"

"I went to the church. I had to report that my contract had been renewed. I tried to tell Ega and go, but he was not only busy moving around, but he didn't seem to be interested in me at all, so I thought there was no problem and left.."

Since he was a kid who was infiltrating, he has a keen sense of humor. If I were filming a territory here, he would be an elite I would immediately hire with dual wielding... but unfortunately, I have no use for him at all..

Backtracking from guys who might be watching me? If there is such a thing, it may feel a bit unpleasant, but if you consider the gravity of what I have done, I can understand it to that extent. I don't have any problem if I cut off my ankles when those who cross the line jump out while riding at such a tight pace. And that was the biggest reason that gave strength to the Yan Tie dance theory in me..

If you mess with me, I'll hit you right away. There is no use having a kid who specializes in infiltration by your side..

"I appreciate the fact that you are very sincere in carrying out your promises and contracts, but since the Margrave Lévienne has already been sorted out, I have nothing to ask of you. Why don’t we just pretend that the contract has expired and go on our way??"

He is definitely a human being, but I don't feel like giving this to others as a gift under the pretext of a contract. However, telling people to pay for their lives in money is at the level of a thousand and one Eldemia unanimously shouting that it is a piece of garbage. Even if it's embarrassing, it's not a good idea for someone who wants to return the favor..

So, I wanted to persuade him in a positive way, but Yan Tie never knew how to back down..

"I hope you will reconsider, at least in order to prove my abilities and build the prestige of the church.."

"No, it's not because you're incompetent... You know it because you've seen it, right? I'm a person who doesn't need to monitor anyone.."

I guess my hope that the kid would have figured out what the problem was at this point, since he wasn't stupid, must have worked, and Yan Tie said, 'Ah.' He answered with a facial expression. Yes, if you put all your effort and sincerity into your work, you may not be able to see your surroundings....

"Don't worry. We learn many skills and mimic classes for stealth. I am confident in the maid's work, so please leave it to me.."

...Long horn. Nothing has changed except the specific direction of appeal..

"What kind of person does this small house need?..."

As I was talking and thinking about it, I thought it might be surprisingly necessary. Asili also said that she plans to regain her senses by increasing her adventurer work in preparation for the future, and once the situation is resolved, I will also work hard at the academy until satisfactory results are achieved. There's nothing you can't do to maintain your home in the meantime, but there was no reason to go through the trouble of buying it if you could save yourself the trouble..

"This is a contract."

Yan Tie, who noticed my worries, moved his hand as if it were completely natural, took out a piece of paper he was holding, placed it on the table, and continued talking..

"Upon signing the contract, Yen Tie will consider Eldmia Egar as his employer as an agent of the Order and a Servant of Dreams, and this will remain in effect until the work equivalent to 50 trade gold coins is completed or until another revelation is made. Additionally, upon hiring, we will not make any requests to the employer other than those related to work, and we will actively assist the employer in matters related to safety. Lastly, all personal information seen and heard during the contract will be protected in the name of God, and this will be classified as the highest level of church contract and will not be permanently leaked to the outside world. It's not a bad condition.?"

I could tell just by listening. This was the contract Envelde wanted..

"Isn't it very unreasonable to risk one's life in return for saving one's life??"

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. These conditions were written based on the revelation I received when I visited the church this time.."

I had no idea what they were telling me not to worry about and whether it was because of some kind of revelation, but not only the words but even what was written in the contract were conditions that were infinitely more advantageous to the employer. The conditions are so good that it makes you wonder why the contract had to go this far..

It's literally forced sleeves. Even cats would not be this one-sided and coercive when choosing a owner. Is it related to the revelation I just mentioned??

While I was seriously contemplating the world, Asilier, who was sitting next to me, looked over the contents of the contract and slowly expressed her opinion..

"I don't think my sister is bad. You're saying you don't have to worry if we have to leave the house later, right? At the same time, there is nothing for LED to worry about.."

"That's true..."

It was clear that a person with a status equivalent to a symbol of a religious denomination was hired to simply manage and maintain the household..

"Are you really okay? Most people end up sweeping the yard and cleaning the stables.?"

Life is finite. No matter how faithful he is to his religion, he probably didn't learn various infiltration techniques to remain faithful in this way..

Even though I want to say it's none of my business, he didn't leave a particularly bad impression on me, so one of the old-fashioned tendencies hidden inside me rears its head and makes me ask myself if I'll regret it later if I've spent my life in vain..

But Yan Tie was no slouch either..

"It's not bad. You won't die, right?."

In the end, I hired a dream server as a housekeeper, and Yen Tie, who had unintentionally increased her family, began to prove her competence even before the ink on the contract dried..

Not only did I quickly organize the small room on the first floor, which had been used as a warehouse to store simple items because I had no need to use it, and turn it into my own room, but I also identified materials and inventory through the notes I wrote about organizing household items, and added additional items I needed. He went out for a short time to buy fields, but when he came back, the appearance of a traveler had turned into a common citizen in the capital..

"You were involved in various matters while visiting the church.."

They even asked about information that I had no idea where they had picked up in such a short period of time. I couldn't help but be truly impressed by her skill in accurately selecting things that were close to the truth among countless rumors..

It was funny to see Asilier unable to take her eyes off Yen Tie, who was skillfully organizing the things she had bought as if she had been living in this house from the beginning. After Yen Tie had finished organizing her things, she started preparing food as if she were going to prepare lunch. He said by laying out.

"I think the only information that might be helpful is related to the Adventurer's Guild. He said he wanted to talk to Ega.."

"The guild?"

"It was mainly about the guild leader wanting to talk privately about the Dantel incident. It was just a rumor, so I couldn't tell if that was really it. It seemed like he was looking for a suitable excuse, but Ega stopped working as an adventurer after that incident and started working at the Academy, so it seemed like he was paying attention. I think you can gain an upper hand just by taking the first step and being condescending.."

Correct. It was too early to be amazed. I'm really amazed now.

"It's been less than an hour since I left, so where did you find out about that??"

Then Yan Tie smiled slightly for the first time today and answered confidently..

"I told you. I'm confident."

I don't know since when did the conditions for being a competent maid start to include information-related information collection items, but I was confident enough..
