Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 384
After visiting Mr. Balkun, each day went by smoothly..
Unfortunately, I was unable to contact Shadow Foot. It is said that if she had come a day earlier, we would have been able to meet her, but she had to leave the capital because of a request. She said she would tell me when she came later, but I didn't know when that would be, so it was a disappointing ending in many ways..
Other than that, all I did was tell stories about meeting people separately, as promised during the meal..
To be honest, the person I was most scared of was Ragnis, but he seemed to be more concerned about the fact that I couldn't be of much help in that situation rather than commenting on the recklessness of my actions, so I suddenly ended up in a comforting mood. However, I heard from Sir Lenisa that she had begun to receive intense training with more enthusiasm, perhaps because her mental strength had strengthened as much as her physical strength. If things continue like this, Little Catherine might really be completed..
Cheryl was just Cheryl..
She reacted most calmly, perhaps because she had seen the Archdemon's head being beheaded in the first place, and while I was going to the academy to read and unpack items that were no different from the workbook left behind by Seneran, she occasionally appeared and asked me about what happened in the West. . She was curious as to why she did not return to her family during the vacation this time... but she was not the only one. This time, she stayed in the dormitory and listened to the teacher's explanation that there were many people who studied and practiced on their own. Because she heard it, she didn't bother to ask..
Seneran researched, listened to, and recorded the changes in my body until the moment he packed up all the tools and left for Port Mandela with the Gaendal party..
"I was told not to use it in front of priests and wizards, but it ended up being in front of a warrior lover and saint....?"
In the process, I heard a story about a battle with an arch-demon that I had not been able to do before, and it almost caused a fight, but I was able to calm it down and send it on its way. Because it was a long-term request, he couldn't come back for two weeks, so he warned me to just study hard..
A week has passed, and now I only go back and forth to the academy, solving the customized worksheets that Seneran left behind..
"If I had studied this much in my previous life, would my salary have been different?."
The more I studied, the more I realized that I had no talent for magic, but unlike humans who were divided into mana and aurors, demons used only magical power, so there were plenty of applications for it, so I didn't feel lost. There wasn't much difficulty in understanding it. If it had been knowledge that only a very few people could enjoy in the first place, it was natural that magic would not have spread as much in the world as it did..
The only downside is that it relies heavily on talent and intuition because it is a discipline that seems very appropriate for the strange metaphor of literary and emotional mathematics. After finishing the morning's worth of studying that I had decided in advance, I stood up, stretched out for a long time, made some coffee, and then picked up Leica and petted her as she slowly climbed onto my lap..
The faculty building was quiet. Because it was the students who stayed and studied autonomously, not the professors. Although Master had stayed with me and helped me with my studies just a little while ago, it has already been over an hour since he was away due to work at the royal family. There were no people in the other professor's classrooms, so for a while, the only sounds around were the sound of coffee boiling, the magic stove running, and the sound of the wind..
It was around the time the coffee finished boiling that a new noise came in..
-smart.
To be honest, I was very surprised. Even though she was paying attention to the sounds around her, it took her a while to accept that she couldn't even hear footsteps, let alone people..
I don't want to be arrogant, but it doesn't make sense. The marble floor made a certain sound of footsteps unless someone deliberately walked on it carefully..
Since the hallways didn't have windows or half of the doors were made of glass like the school in my previous life, I also didn't like the fact that I couldn't tell who was standing outside. Perhaps reading my nervousness, Laika, who was in my arms, quickly went down to the floor, and I pulled the sword that was loose at my side a little closer and spoke out..
"Come on in."
I didn't intentionally ask who it was..
If, by any chance, the name of someone I had to personally open the door to greet was mentioned, I had to do so regardless of whether it was true or not, but even now, if someone outside the door with a vague sign of popularity decided to surprise me, it could be bothersome for no reason. It would be better to open the door yourself and let them in. Fortunately, the person on the other end didn't seem to want to see the liver, so as soon as he heard me, he opened the door to the professor's office and came in..
And I had to be quite surprised to see an unexpected visitor..
"Ah, hello. It's been a while since I saw you..."
Because the imperial saint with whom I had never had a proper conversation carefully opened the door and came in. Did she say her name was... Tenesi??
"Well, I'm sorry to come to you so suddenly, but... can we talk??"
It wasn't even that he had any other business to do, so he came to see me. I tilted my head to look behind the door to see if Siegfried had come with him, but only the Saint of Tenea was there..
"Let's stop first. Because I don’t want to get into trouble for no reason."
That alone was problematic, so I stopped her. A look of bewilderment appeared on the Virgin of Tenneas' face for a moment, as if she hadn't expected my reaction, but I still couldn't help but wonder about her sudden and quiet visit..
No, is it really the person involved? There was nothing strange at first glance, but there was still a lot more in the world that I didn't know, so I couldn't be sure..
"Now, I cannot understand the situation in which the saint came to meet me alone without the warrior. I know for sure that he returned to the Empire, and there was no mention of him returning. It's even fully armed. If you can't clearly identify yourself, please explain so I can understand.."
To prove that these were not empty words, I deliberately grabbed my sword loudly, and Teneasi hissed and hurriedly found something in her arms and took it out..
"I have a letter explaining that. Could you please accept it??"
"A letter...?"
What Teneasi took out was a familiar letter sealed with white wax. The saint brought Esmuët's letter? Even though she was becoming more and more uncertain, she needed to confirm, so she nodded and called Laika next to her..
"Laika, can you get that for me??"
[huh!]
As Laika approached, a variety of emotions appeared on Teneasi's face. But she soon regained her composure and carefully handed over her letter to Laika, and I opened the envelope he had given me and looked through its contents..
And there, obviously, was a short phrase written in the handwriting of Esmueh, whom I had seen last time..
[I don't know what I saw while subduing the evil dragon, but that very weak-hearted saint said she wanted to fight with you alone. She will have to tell you later what kind of secret affair she had with another woman..]
It was indeed short and had no additional content, but the handwriting was indeed Esmuet's. Either that or it was a really elaborate forgery..
"...Why were you armed, and why did you kill me when I saw you??"
"Mo, come secretly. Look, you can't see it.."
"......Come in.."
Even though I called him inside, it didn't change that he was going crazy..
The reason is because I saw it in subjugating the evil dragon? Then it is clear that I came because I cut off the devils' heads at that time. The problem is that I never imagined that the story related to him would be told in private with a saint like this..
"Do you want coffee?"
"Ah, yes. thank you."
'Since they use magical power, they are demons. die!' If I had come with that meaning, I wouldn't have come alone like this. Considering that I didn't even tell Esmuët, it would be true that I was faithfully keeping the request I had made in passing. But in a situation like that, you need to come to me without the hero's knowledge and check on something? He even uses an unidentified divine power that erases his own existence.?
I had no intention of being put off by such a timid-looking person, who was so dazzled by love that he picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed her in the stomach, so I looked at the saint with the sword still at my side. The saint, who had sipped coffee and warmed herself, looked politely hesitant. I opened my mouth slowly, showing my attitude..
"Well, I came because of what you showed me at the underground waterway last time...."
"I don't think I showed you just one or two things.."
"Yes, it was. Ah, slit the demons' throats... at the same time... Sigh! do..."
He looked very foolish as he tried to make some clumsy, dynamic movement and belatedly realized that he was still holding the coffee cup, and he looked very foolish, but that could have all been an act..
"understand. I thought the day would come when I would talk about it later, but I never thought I would end up talking about it only with the saint.."
"Well, I thought so too, but I thought it might be better for Zeke if I told him in advance, so I came here like this.."
"...What did you want to talk about??"
It was a speaking style that really shocked people, but it was just stuttering and not slurred, so there was no inconvenience in understanding it. The saint paused for a moment in response to my question, carefully placed her coffee cup on the table next to her and looked at me, clutching her own staff that she had briefly held in her arms..
And the question was asked in a neat manner that was not reminiscent of the tone from before..
"Are you the demon's champion??"
At that moment, the saint's eyes seemed to glow silver..
