The week-long journey that followed after leaving the McKelline Estate was extremely peaceful..

There was no chase party vowing to avenge Count McKellin, no assassins seeking my life, no passing elf hunters appearing, and no entanglement in the evil plans of idiotic devil worshipers..

There are only small-scale thieves who are encountered as frequently as stones on the side of the road..

"Ahhh!! Oh, run away! Eldmia Egatha!"

"Whistle, the whistle devil has appeared!!"

As I moved around for a week and encountered the thieves every single day, I forgot to get angry and whistled in a businesslike manner, sending needles flying. As I watched their chanting grow louder, I couldn't help but sigh..

"Wow, Ethisel is a noble person compared to here. Why are there so many thieves??"

That's what I said, but I already know the reason. It's like Japan during the Warring States Period, but because of the western kingdoms and the nobles under them who fight fiercely every day, people who can be called slash-and-burn farmers and thieves are springing up in droves..

The problem was that the land mass here was not small, so the number was truly at a level that could not be ignored..

Contrary to my expectations that everything would be fine once we got out of the border, the number actually increased as we went inland. Perhaps because the elves wearing hoods looked like pilgrims, most of them lost their heads and rushed at us..

And as I figured it all out, I even learned about their ecology. If you leave them alive, instead of repenting and trying to live faithfully, they crawl to another group like some kind of goblin bastard..

"...Now I know who you are."

The result is the twist that just unfolded before your eyes. Just a few days ago, there were people who were unaware of the attack and then ran away, but now it has reached a point where they are running out from where they were hiding, screaming..

The eyes of the elves, who looked at the injured or dying thieves with a shocked expression, seemed to contain a lot of meaning. Of course, their sentiments were of little importance to me. I grumbled, blowing air into the shoulder of the guy who called me the whistle devil..

"You're comparing people to cockroaches, you fucking idiot.."

To prevent that strange nickname from spreading, it might have been better to kill him, but I held back because it was a bit too much for a guy who immediately ran away, leaving behind the guys who pulled out their swords at me. Celebian burst out laughing at the sight, shook his head and said..

"I'll be arriving in the city in a little while, but I never thought I'd run into bandits.."

"...It's so messed up.."

Of course, even that 'a little while' was an elf's sense, but it was close even by human standards. It's a distance that an average person can reach by walking in just half a day..

Now, if you just pass the city whose outline is barely visible in the distance, you can reach the 'forest located not far away' that Celebian talked about. Because I had to deal with a lot of bandits, the sun was already about to set, so I had to stay one more day in the city..

At least I was less angry because I was able to cover the cost of lodging by picking out the thieves' pockets..

"Hmm, I understand why the orange-haired magical girl was robbing thieves... No, was it chestnut-colored hair??"

Now, recalling memories of my past life and retrieving what little money I could find, I hurried on before the city gates closed..

Fortunately, since the elves were skilled at walking, they arrived faster than ordinary people. The city seemed to be in the final stages of inspection. The procession of adventurers, wagons, and farmers who came to sell the village's by-products was much longer than I expected..

"I'll be able to get in soon.."

"...Yes."

Of course, by elf standards, it was 'quick'. There's a lot I want to say, but it's pointless to argue with an elf who's only just been out to see the world, so I let it go and stand at the back of the line. The owner of the carriage in front of us, who was yawning with an indifferent expression on his face, greeted me with a friendly smile. handed it over.

"Oh my, how are you? Glad you got here before the city closed.."

His attitude was closer to feeling good about having a new person to talk to rather than having any other selfish interests, so I responded with a smile too..

"I didn't think it was very fortunate since I met the thieves before coming, but after hearing what you said, there are some things that are fortunate.."

"ah! You came to where those damn bastards are? Actually, I also encountered it on my way there. Still, it was fortunate that they were the ones paying the toll, because the cold sweat I shed back then still hasn't dried.."

Oh my, he had a stake in the money in my pocket. While the elves' eyes turned to where my money bag was, I accepted his words and continued the conversation..

"I guess you just arrived.?"

"That's not true either. The line was very long. Still, this is a fairly large city in this area. But the line was shrinking just a moment ago, but suddenly it got so tight that it couldn't move.."

"Is there any truth??"

"It seems a bit noisy already... Hey, wine buddy! I can't hear anything?"

He asked loudly, waving his hand at people who appeared to be four or five teams ahead of him, wondering if he was only talking to me. No, did you all get together and have a meal in the middle of the day? How did you talk to the person in front of you??

Anyway, the man called Wine turned his head to his call and answered with both hands over his mouth..

"The security guard is very upset! Well, it looks like a great person has appeared.!"

Ha, is he a nobleman? Then, it made sense to beat the crap out of it and block it. The carriage owner must have thought the same thing as me, so we made eye contact for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, and asked one more time..

"Has a nobleman even appeared?!"

The people in the middle could have been criticized for being noisy, but everyone seemed to be curious and just listened to the conversation between the two. The sight was so funny that while he was laughing briefly, an unexpected answer came out of Wine's mouth..

"I don't know! Eldmuah Degarana Egaranah!"

"...fuck?"

Without realizing it, a curse came out in my voice. Then the slightly surprised carriage owner looked at me with both puzzlement and curiosity and asked:.

"It's a name I know?"

"...Very... well... I know.."

Because it’s me, it’s okay.

At that moment, the memory of the damn imposter I encountered at the Ethisel Adventurer's Guild came to mind, and my expression soured..

No, but there is an impersonator here who says he has something to gain.?

"I guess it would be better to take a look.."

"Uh, be careful.!"

As I moved forward, appropriately responding to the concerns of the carriage owner, who treated me very cordially even though it was my first time meeting him, the eyes of the dissatisfied people in line turned to me, then quickly turned back as if they had seen something they couldn't see..

To that extent, my current face perfectly represented my mood. I didn't even have any intention of hiding it..

"...I hope Giseo will do the same.?"

As we get closer to the gate, the murmur grows louder. And when I saw with my own eyes that the normally connected line was cut off at a great distance from the gate, as if there was a dangerous object, I could see the back of an unidentified head facing off with a dozen guards..

He was large, and the ax and sword he carried on his back were correspondingly large. Even though it was a one-handed ax and a one-handed sword, it was large, perhaps because it was made to fit that size.

"Wait, wait! As I said from the beginning, you have to show me at least the identity card of Lord Kelvast...."

"You want me to go back and retrieve what I lost while fighting Count McKelline's knights? It would be faster to pass through here.."

Huh, has the rumor spread already? Honestly, I thought he was a scammer because of what happened in Kelvast, but he was an extraordinary asshole in terms of intelligence..

I couldn't see his face, but he must have been frowning, and the guards' complexions became pale and they held their spears in place, which was truly unsightly. But what was even more spectacular were the two knights standing in front of them..

Those bastards were scared too. It was so absurd that I started swearing openly..

"Hey you idiots. Does it make sense for knights and knights to peck at a kid just after hearing his name??"

At that moment, the murmur that arose as I stepped forward and the movement of the city's troops, who were trembling as they confronted Tsamdmia, stopped..

"...brat?"

The only thing moving there was a large salted mia. The guy's face was very grim as he slowly turned around, probably for the purpose of intimidating..

And he's much uglier than me.

"Fuck, that kid is a bit like that with that face. I should have said he was like a bandit leader.."

"...Are you saying this because you know that I am Eldmia Egar??"

As he turned to look at me, I heard the sound of the line that was already pushed back further. I wanted to know something, so I turned around and saw that everyone had believed what Mia said and had retreated as if they had seen something scary in the world..

Among them, there was also a group of Celebians who followed along leisurely and looked at them with interest as if they were seeing interesting things in the world. It's going to spin, really..

"I bet my hands that you are not Eldmia Egar. What can you bet? life?"

"Ha, Cacula's ax will drink the blood of a knight who lost his head.."

This guy looks like that, so isn’t he actually an actor? At that level, I had to think of him as either a psychopath who really believed he was me, or a theater actor obsessed with method acting. When the guy pulled out an ax from behind his back, even the guards and knights stepped back as if it had some kind of magic..

"ha..."

Even if Kakula is an orc, he can at least carry a battle axe..

Talking about Kakula with a rather large logging ax is so absurd that I can't even laugh..

"Hey... Mr. Saltmia. First of all, this ax was torn off by Kakula, not Kakula. There are so many things I hate, but there's a new addition to them very recently. do you know what that is?"

"Salt...what?"

As I spoke while holding the real Kakula ax that was on my back, the guy's eyes turned to the ax. As he was impersonating me, he didn't really know what Dok2 looked like. What appeared on his face was not a question or anything, but 'Are you really going to attack me?' It was somewhat of an impression..

"That's an impersonator, you fucking bastard.!"

And that was the last thing he felt in his life..

I suddenly closed the distance and rushed in, swinging the ax at the top of his head with anger..
