Never touch Eldmia Egar-Episode 379
The food that Asilier and Tie prepared to feed me from lunch and added more for dinner was quite a lot, but with five of us big eaters, it disappeared really quickly..
Okay, five. Following me, Catherine, Cheryl, and Asilier, even Ragnis has joined the ranks of gluttons.!
"Huh, it's because training is hard.."
The last time I remembered Ragnis, she was a news person who was full of a bowl of stew, but now she ate two bowls of stew. She also had two large baguette-like pieces of bread that she dipped into, but she didn't stop there, and was now elegantly moving her fork and knife to break down the chicken..
Sheryl, who was looking at Ragnis who was blushing and making excuses at our shocked gaze, muttered as she ate the chicken leg like Catherine without paying attention to etiquette..
"After a few years like this, you won't become a huge battle mage like Lord Radnellbandes....?"
"Master is something you are born with.?"
Is that really true? I don't know what kind of training he's been doing, but Ragnis' body has undergone dramatic changes even on the outside. It's not like his body has just become gigantic, but his shoulders have widened to the point where he could be considered a knight, and his forearms have become nearly twice as thick compared to the past..
At that level, it has even surpassed the level of celebrities getting PT and perfecting their bodies in a short period of time. People who remember Ragnis at the Imperial Academy will be surprised to see him now.?
It was good because there was nothing bad about being healthy, but I couldn't help but tilt my head in many ways..
"Aren’t you talented at magic? How come you become more and more of a warrior?."
"...It's a bit funny to even say it myself, but since I only have time to learn magic, I'll also learn spearmanship.."
Do you have time left? That sounds like something a talented person would say..
The problem is that it is not just a lie because it is not just one's own thoughts, but also the result of Lord Radnellbandes' judgment. Sure enough, her wizards, Seneran and Lellie, showed the greatest interest and began to talk to her. The story continued with typical wizards asking if they had seen a star and what color it was, so even though I heard it now, I couldn't understand what it was all about, so my attention naturally went somewhere else..
"Now that I think about it, you said that the royal family would like to set up an event to praise your achievements. He said that now there needs to be at least one official event before anything else can be said.."
At that moment, the teacher naturally raised a topic. In fact, other than Seneran, the only person who has direct contact with Master is Sheryl, but since there was no way she and Master had anything to talk about, they had been eating quietly until just a moment ago, and this was the first story she brought up..
Roughly speaking, ‘You helped me so much, but the royal family doesn’t publicly say thank you? Are you on bad terms? Should I approach first?' With that in mind, I heard that movements that can bother me are on the rise, so I decided to look at it positively this time. Anyway, I was planning on responding at least once since I was caught beheading the archdemon..
As the two were talking, Cheryl sneaked in from the side..
"It is said that even in the empire, there is talk that they would like to praise your achievements. Maybe it will be done jointly to reveal the friendly relationship between the empire and the royal family.?"
"hmm. I heard that this was something the Empire first explored. I know that the royal family is also considering it positively.."
Usually... is such a story something that can be told so easily...? Realizing once again that the people gathered here are far from ordinary, I asked a question that suddenly occurred to me..
"If it is done jointly, who will award the award??"
"Since the emperor cannot come in person, the first princess who received your help in the empire will award it... We are not sure. I think the king will do it himself.."
"The first princess, who is the most likely candidate for the next emperor, is coming, but it may look bad in many ways for a prince or princess whose succession rights are still uncertain to come forward.."
Thanks to the two people shaking their heads at each other's opinions, it was really easy to organize my thoughts. There is a high probability that Esmueh will come. For a moment, I looked at Zikmel, who seemed to be the most interested in this story, and the guy who made eye contact with me slowly shook his head..
Thanks to this, I could tell this guy, ‘I don’t sell information to others. I was laughing a little when I found out that I had the talent to say, ‘I’m not interested.’ Then Catherine spoke to me in a voice that was noticeably quieter than before..
"Eldmia, do you have any special plans this time??'
"It's a plan?"
"Well, take a request, rest, or go on a trip alone.?"
"Oh... no. Rather, the plan is to have no plan at all.."
I'm worried that rumors about demons are spreading on the way... but anyway, it's not too late to watch the progress of such rumors and make a move after it becomes clear. Rather, for now, my priority was to get some proper rest, become more familiar with the helmet I received from Lummings and Kakula's axe, and listen to the teachings of my teacher and Seneran in order to further refine my magic organs..
Originally, I had planned to move a little more quickly, but I felt like I knew a little about what the world tree seed I received this time meant, so I decided to take my time..
It seems that there is a connection between the seeds of the World Tree and the words that Ephaga delivered through the saint..
At that time, Epagar clearly conveyed the message that ‘the day will come when we will meet face to face through a solid path.’ Until now, I thought that those words meant something like a saint's return visit, but my thoughts changed a lot after I got my hands on something that if you hold it, you will be exposed to divine power on a regular basis and you will gradually get used to it..
Flying to the West with Kakula was just a coincidence for me... but maybe there was something predictable from the gods' perspective??
So, wouldn't the 'solid path' you mentioned back then mean the moment when I became familiar with the seeds of the World Tree, responded to Epaga's call, and became able to communicate?.
If you think about it that way, isn't it true that all the events I thought were coincidences and unlucky were just fixed futures that were called fate? There is a feeling that it is leading to a skeptical conclusion, but... I don't think that is the case..
If fate really existed, you wouldn't have mentioned that even you yourself couldn't fathom the chaos that would come at the end of the protection..
I don't yet know exactly what his intentions were, but in God's eyes, it was a sufficiently predictable future, and it would be more reasonable to think that he was just trying to prevent me from crawling toward death without my will..
And if God, who gave me a second life, wants that, then it can be said that there is enough reason to wait a little while..
"Then, why don’t you take on a guild request next week? The guild leader asked for a favor.."
Catherine got angry when she told me that I was planning to take a break, and what she said made me tilt my head. I don't think the guild leader forgot that he said he would help me in moderation because he felt sorry for changing my enemy level before getting involved with the orcs, but he didn't bother to ask me through Catherine.?
"Oh, to be exact, I asked for it at the ‘Gaendal Party’. Because of that, both Mr. Gin and Mr. Gaendal will return next week.."
Fortunately, thanks to the additional explanation Catherine quickly added, the misunderstanding quickly disappeared. Instead, another question arose..
"Can't you complete most requests without difficulty just by yourself??"
Why me? There was nothing I couldn't help you with if you asked, but I couldn't help but wonder what kind of request it was. Then Lelye, who was tearing bread next to her and eating it, continued to explain..
"We want to bring in experts. Reports of sightings of demons have suddenly increased near Mandela Port. I think there's a pretty high chance that it's a real demon, but out of all of us, Ega is the one with the most experience fighting demons.?"
I didn't know that the issue that I just said was not too late to postpone would be right around the corner. For a moment, Seneran's eyes grew to the size of drops, but I had no intention of accepting it out of ignorance..
"Isn’t that the jurisdiction of the capital? Is this another request for support??"
"I don't know that far. They said I had no choice but to receive it, so I just skipped it. If you go and ask, won't you give me an answer??"
"no!"
Grab it! Everyone's attention was focused on Seneran's cry, which attracted attention not by knocking on the table, but by licking the fork and knife she was using to eat cleanly and then hitting them on her head in an unidentified way..
I didn't wonder why she reacted like that. Because she was so obvious.
"That's a whole month! one month! This is a breach of contract!"
This is indeed true, and I couldn't refute that statement, which made most people raise question marks above their heads..
In fact, I think it would be a huge waste of time to go all the way to the eastern part, seeing only one possibility. Still, I was a little worried because the people asking for it were Catherine and Lely, but Seneran seemed to have accepted my concerns differently and shouted firmly, raising his double wick..
"If you really want to help, I'll just go and help you! Eldmia stayed behind and helped with research with Mr. Widra.!"
I thought there would be nothing to say even if the one-sided pressure came out, but what came out of her mouth was surprisingly not a bad suggestion..
No, it was actually a good suggestion..
If we were to be honest, she was close to a ‘real’ demon expert..
