Never touch Eldmia Egga-Episode 377

Yen Tie woke up in silence..

The city outside the window was still in a bluish darkness, but she didn't care at all and began to change her clothes in the dark and turn on the lights in the house one by one. I start a fire in the furnace and the fireplace on the first floor, put a magic stone in my back to brighten the still dark living room, and quietly prepare breakfast in the silence where I can't even hear the sound of insects..

After receiving Eldmia's permission to work as a housekeeper, she was not able to see her client, Eldmia, but she was not lazy even for a single day. It's already been almost a month since she cleaned every day, checked the condition of her food, and gathered information that could be helpful to Eld Mia..

He could have thought that Eldmia was dead and gone back, or that he had no reason to fulfill his duties because he was not there, but Tie did not do that..

Given the circumstances, it was clear that the orcs had flown to the west through the gate, so Eldmia would return alive. She felt that it was the unique feeling of someone who serves her dreams. Although she did not mention it directly to Asilier, it was not something she could find reassuring..

After preparing the breakfast table with mainly soft foods, starting with preparing the ingredients, Tea went up to the second floor while feeling the rising morning sun. She then raised her voice to wake up Asilier, who was sleeping while holding Laika..

"Mr. Asilier. It's morning."

Even though she didn't say it very loudly, Asilier's ears twitched in response. It was a sight that would have shocked her if Eld Mia had seen it, but she knew very well that it was not that simple..

Asilier was just not sleeping deeply. Ever since the day Eldmia disappeared.

"...good morning."

"Yes, good morning. Eldmia might arrive today.."

It wasn't just empty words meant to cheer Asilier up; it was actually a story told by someone from the Noble House the day before. It is said that she headed from Irmiz to Miele, where the gate is located. Considering the speed of information transfer and other things, she could have arrived by today or tomorrow..

Knowing that, Asili reacted a little more energetically than usual and slowly got out of bed..

However, Laika only reacted by slightly opening his eyes and looking around, then lying down on the bed again and going to sleep. For the first few weeks, Laika was able to move around and look out her window, but now she found that even that was too much for her and she often stayed in her bed. After patting Laika's head once, Asilie came down to her restaurant with her Tie and began to slowly eat the food she had prepared..

No matter how much I believed I would be safe, anxiety was an unavoidable feeling. Because your life is at stake, and you may be seriously injured in one or two places. Nevertheless, the reason Asilier maintains her normal activities and psychological state is because she does not want Eldmia, who returns safely, to suffer after seeing her devastated state..

However, it was not easy to maintain that state for a month, so Asilier's face grew tired day by day. And gathering information that could alleviate Asilier's anxiety was something Thie had been focusing on recently..

"There was a rumor going around that a letter had arrived from Kelvast to the royal family. It is said that they arrived in a hurry, even using the wizards' space jumping magic, so it must have dealt with an issue related to orcs. Judging by the fact that there are only stories related to orcs, it seems that Eldmia passed Kelvast without any problems.."

"You can even hear stories from inside the royal family.?"

"This is probably news leaked intentionally from the royal family. The goal would be to create an atmosphere that it was an accident so serious that even Kelvast had to contact them in a hurry, rather than the incompetence of the royal family and military power. According to Mr. Sikmel, who handed over the information, the letter would have actually arrived much faster and the conversation would have progressed considerably.."

Although there were some things that Tie had researched on his own, most of the information related to nobles and the royal family came from Sikmel. We didn't specifically ask for it or provide the cost, but Siegmel had been coming with a new story every five days since Asilier returned with the news that Eldmia had disappeared, and he was telling Tié about it..

I didn't know if it was a calculated move to gain favor when Eldmia returned later, or consideration as an acquaintance, but it was true that it was very useful, so I didn't refuse and accepted the help..

Eldmia will make the decision anyway..

"In addition, this is a story I heard with the help of the church, but it seems that Eldmia caused a major incident in the West as well. They say there's a strange rumor going around in the Western Kingdom that there's a fight over one of the earl's fiefdoms.."

"...also?"

"...Yes, again. The territory has suffered significant damage... and some are calling it Demon Lord Eldmia.."

If you think about it, it was a funny story. How on earth could the word 'again' be used in a story about an individual fighting against a count? Both of them thought that far too crazy, but in the end, they felt that it was possible because the target was Eldmia, so they laughed without anyone deciding who was first..

"If Eld hears that he is the devil, he will be astonished.."

Who would have thought that a person who lives to find enemies among the devil's army would be nicknamed the devil. Asilier laughed heartily for the first time in a month at the extremely ironic story, and after seeing that reaction, Tie thought it was a good idea to overdo it a bit and get help from the church..

No matter what anyone says, Asilier is one of Eldmia's biggest annoyances. It was clear that her efforts to keep her condition good would benefit her and her church in some way. After having a meal with laughter for the first time in a long time, the two cleaned up and went about their own business..

It wasn't that great. As always, Tie went out of her way to get information, and Asilier prepared to go out to share the story she heard today with Ragnis..

Ragnis was quite disappointed because it was the first time he saw his face in a long time on the battlefield, and he disappeared again as soon as he saw him once. Still, the main reaction was to get angry that he had moved recklessly rather than worry, perhaps because he had become strangely used to it or because he had developed trust in it... but Asilier knew full well that it was full of regret..

Perhaps the general story has already been relayed through members of the royal family, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to use the information Tie gave as an excuse to go ahead and talk for a bit today. No matter how much she loved her, it was different from causing her heartache, so she needed a friend to complain with even for a moment..

After making that decision, Asilier packed the equipment she had been laying around for a while to show off to the Adventurer's Guild as well..

It was then. Suddenly Laika got up and jumped off the bed..

"Leica?"

"bruise!"

Even though I couldn't understand the language, I couldn't understand what it meant for Laika to look like that after spending a month in silence. Before Asilie, who was startled, could react properly, Laika ran out of the room..

And he even threw away the bow he was trying to carry around his shoulder and ran late to Asili..

She ran out of the door with her heart pounding, and what she saw before her eyes was Laika, who was unable to run down the stairs due to his short legs, and was walking backwards, stumbling down one step at a time. At the sight of her unexpected surprise, Asilier burst into laughter for a moment, but Asilier, who was not relaxed enough to grab her Leica and run down, quickly passed by..

"Sorry Laika!"

"Kiing...!"

Laika looked at Asilier going down the stairs with resentment in his eyes, closed his eyes tightly and made a big decision..

Then he turned his body to the side and rolled down. She was a little dizzy, but Laika was very satisfied because she didn't feel much pain and the speed was fast..

It was a scene that anyone would have been amazed by if they had seen it, but Asilier, who could have been the only witness, paid no heed to the crashing sound coming from behind and almost ran down to the first floor and opened the door. Then, the cold air, which she had never really felt since she had been staying at home for a while, hit her with the wind. I think it's an illusion, but Asilier smells the scent of her world tree in the wind..

I felt a surge of nostalgia, but that wasn't that important right now. It was important that the surprised appearance of Eldmia, who had just entered the yard, was not an illusion or an illusion..

Other than making a really surprised expression, Eldmia was quite enlightened. It was hard to believe that she was someone who had been out and about for nearly a month. Not only was she so clean, she was also holding a large two-handed ax in one hand that I couldn't tell where she got it from..

Not only that, she was also wearing earrings that I had never seen before, next to the earrings she had given me. Eld Mia didn't have a hobby of decorating herself with her accessories, so she must have gotten a magic tool from somewhere..

If someone who didn't know him saw him, he would think he had decided to go on an adventure. It was shocking to Asilier, who remembered her last appearance as she disappeared before she could prepare properly....

"...I'm home?"

At one word that Eldmia uttered while smiling sheepishly, Asilier could only laugh..
