Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 41
Talkative Weri clearly understood his duty..
What he revealed was almost identical to what we had expected. The only difference is that more details have been added.?
"Pa, Favaera, was originally a small mercenary group who worked as a mercenary when there was work to do, and when there was no work to do, he went around stealing. Although he did what low-quality mercenaries usually did, the difference was that Pa Baera was more diligent in raising money and was good at trivia.."
In fact, he was hired by Favaera after he bought the baronetcy with money, but he was good at math and had many connections, so he was working as a close associate..
Anyway, the Baron's real name is Baera..
"Why did you add ‘pa’ in front??"
"Yes, you have to have at least four letters to feel like a nobleman...."
"This is truly an incredibly stupid idea. Isn't the two-character Cheryl much more noble-like??"
"Yes, that is a valid statement! In the end, that's the extent of the idea of a person who thinks of buying a title with money.!"
In addition to the enthusiastic response, the conversation that flowed out like clear water was truly a very affectionate Werri..
Anyway, contrary to the purely idiotic idea, it seems to have been true that Favaera's financial sense and business ability were above the average of those around him..
Favaera, who never wasted the money he earned through steady mercenary work, plunder, and theft, and worked hard to save, achieved the feat of purchasing a baronetcy from a fallen nobleman, a mansion, and even a wine farm..
Dude, honestly, if you look at the level of sincerity alone, I'm so sincere that it makes me wonder if I'm a bastard..
The problem was that I was sincere because it was a bad thing, but I can't help but think that I would have made a name for myself if I had just acted like an ordinary mercenary..
"I could say that I was doing well enough, but I guess my ambition was bigger. He began to find expedients, such as stealing, in honor.."
That's how you become an adventurer. From our perspective, we thought it was too risky, but in the end, it was similar to the sense of a guy who was both looting and stealing..
It's already been a few months since things started to proceed based on the truly outrageous, transgressive way of thinking that all you have to do is leave no evidence and not be caught, as has been the case up to now..
In reality, the guy's actions were meticulous, and he faithfully continued to work behind the scenes to create an alibi. Above all, when the story came out that there were unknown bastards helping him, both Cheryl and I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed..
"You helped with that? That guy didn't even pay me to hire him.?"
"Yes, because Favaella always plays alone, I don't know her personal information...."
"Fuck the world, don't fucking say it.."
Our werry flinched, perhaps sensing my sincerity, so I waved my hand once to tell him not to worry..
What was the purpose of investors becoming attached to this illegal and unprofitable business? Unless the goal is to raise a villain, aren't there too many uncertainties before Favaera returns the favor??
I wondered who really raised it because there was a way to use it politically, but I couldn't dare predict it with my ordinary intellect..
Seriously, I'm starting to wonder if I'm the one kicking the crap out of nurturing a villain like a forbidden jade leaf in order to give honorable mention to a hero who's still in excellent training..
In the end, I concluded my thoughts by saying that there must have been a psychopath out there somewhere who was trying to color the world in an extremely evil way. I opened my mouth while patting the shoulder of my friend Wery, who was very scared due to his silence..
"Don't be so scared, Welly. I think you are being extremely cooperative right now. Eldmia Egar is generous to cooperative people.."
"Joe, I wasn't worried one bit! I guess I was just wondering if there was more information to give, and it showed on my face! ha ha ha!"
"Hey, our werry! He's so quick-witted and quick-tempered that I can't understand why he was working under such a bastard! I'm so glad you can't use a sword.!"
"Haha...yes? A sword?"
"okay. knife. If you had even swung a sword at me, wouldn't you have been lying down with those bastards by now? It makes me so sad to think that we might have lost our delightful Welly like that.."
When he mixes a slight threat with a smile, Wery's expression visibly hardens, then relaxes, and then pretends to laugh again..
It's not bad. If left alive, he will be of a level that can be used in some way, unless he gives up everything and goes back to farming. Even if they returned to farming, there was no harm in gaining all the information they needed since the number of people whose beliefs had been indoctrinated increased by one more person..
"A guy like that is worth keeping alive.?"
Cheryl, who was looking disapprovingly at Welly, who had agreed to guarantee his life under the condition that he testify to the entire situation at the guild later, asked me from a little distance away..
"well?"
"I don't know..."
"I made a deal to give them my life in exchange for all the information and testimony, so all I can do is protect them. Isn't it normal to find out later or never know what a person's value is??"
Even though he knew the full story of the incident, he drove many adventurers to their deaths. But that's none of my business.
From the beginning, this incident was just a coincidence, and it wasn't aimed at me or anyone around me..
15In a world where a one-year-old child satisfactorily practices murder skills in real combat, there was not even the slightest thought of deciding whether to kill or save based on the standards of good and evil..
Did you just touch me or not? That's all..
"But isn't he clearly a participant in sin? How..."
At that moment, the noble Cheryl came out, as if she was quite satisfied with my decision. It's a way of speaking that's sometimes confusing but still easy to understand..
"If you don't like it, kill it later.."
"...huh?"
I don't think I said anything particularly strange, but Cheryl seemed surprised and slightly embarrassed..
"No matter how much you think about it, if it's right to kill them, find them separately later and kill them. All I did was exchange information for my immediate life, not protect him forever.."
I don't know if he did me a favor first with pure intentions, but that's not the case, so of course I'm not interested in what happens later..
Isn't it even unclear how the unidentified sponsor he mentioned in the first place will react? If you leave him alone, he might die on his own..
"But not now. I made that deal with him, and he's honestly doing his job better than expected.."
"Are you planning on continuing to use him? Even if he's just a villain?"
"I don't really plan on continuing to use it, but maybe I could use it if I come across it somewhere else? Above all, the world is such that good and evil are not so clearly distinguished, Cheryl.."
However, I don’t think there is a need to make hasty judgments in advance. Who knows, even though that guy has a shitty story, he might be worried that I'll get screwed and keep his mouth shut..
But you can certainly think that way. Rather, thinking that way and pursuing goodness can never be seen as a bad thing. Even if I am the owner of a past life where I tried to live a good life and ended up dying instead of receiving compensation, I believe that it is right to use my heart in a good way..
He looked proud enough, so he ruffled his hair and added just one word..
"Of course, the fact that it doesn't apply to all people can be explained by just looking at the people I killed here. The most basic thing is that the person must not cause any direct harm to me. Other than that, there is nothing special.."
"When a good person harms you?"
"I will consider the severity, but if I cross the line, I will die and become a good person.."
The only person who can harm me that much and still be kind is a dead person..
In the end, the incident was brought to an end after a period of uproar as the adventurers who settled the story and cleared out the private soldiers in the forest of Favaera under the guise of bandits returned one by one to hear the truth of the incident and blinked in anger..
Although the number of deaths was not that many, it seemed to be due to the fact that the soldiers withdrew when they recognized the strange situation, rather than because their skills were particularly good. In fact, the number of wood brought by the surviving adventurers seemed to be less than half, let alone 40..
Favaera died from excessive bleeding due to indifference while we were not paying much attention..
No one was disappointed because there was no need for it anyway and they could already obtain documented evidence through Welly. Well, if the adventurers were disappointed because they couldn't cool off their anger, it was disappointing..
Still, it was not such a bad result as it was certain that some of Favaera's assets that would be disposed of after reporting to the guild would be returned to us in the form of additional compensation due to the guild's poor management..
Of course, my original intention was to take everything, but that was the extent of my position as an adventurer. If it were just me and Cheryl, I would have gone right away and wiped out everything that would make money, but it's such a pity..
However, it was obvious that even if it was only a portion of the assets distributed by the guild, the profit was not insignificant, so the adventurers, who had cooled down from the excitement of the battle and the situation, made calculations and got into the carriage, pure joy at the unexpected profit..
But there was no garoon in it..
That was a bit disappointing. He was a kind person.
