Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 444

[444Flower] Flowering

Maybe it's because I've had a hectic day recently, but even though I had to buy groceries for the demons who secretly entered the country, my mind was extremely peaceful..

It's not so much peaceful as it is relaxing. In fact, my cheerful reaction made Seneran uneasy..

"It's really okay, right? It's not that I don't trust you, but since this is done secretly, I have no choice but to be a little cautious.?"

"A person who has been smuggling people is once again feeling scared in a place like this?."

"That's because I did it myself."

In the end, you can't believe it..

I said it with my eyes without having to say it out loud, and Seneran also smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head..

"Well, don't worry too much. Still, I'm a native here."

"Even if you are a native, it must be difficult because you can see the moving materials...."

"Since then, he has been favored by the head of the Ogatorp family. Since you're so anxious, I need to explain how to get it out.."

Just as one of the side jobs that butlers in their past lives did as if it were a natural thing to do was to secretly organize and sell excess by-products from the house, such a culture also existed here..

The only difference is that since the position of head of the Ogatorv family was such a high-class position, there was no need to work a side job, so the profits earned were allocated to the family property and distributed to employees as a kind of performance bonus to manage loyalty. ji.

Even though the process was done through very normal procedures without any illegal elements, as is usually the case, after doing it a few times, you start to think, 'Huh? If I do this, I might be able to eat it secretly, right?' It is bound to be visible to the eye..

"As long as you don't try to move everything in one day, there's no problem. Do not worry."

Moreover, since Ogwen is still growing in size, there is a lot of money and food moving around, so it is not easy to closely manage the movement of supplies. If she receives help from Mrs. Alicia, whose family size has grown and her family has increased, it is not a problem to receive a little extra food from her..

There would have to be additional costs, but it was a problem that was not particularly difficult because Seneran did not treat that amount as a loss under the name of the cost of maintaining secrecy. After convincing the Seneran through such a short explanation, I took the money for the advance and drove the horse and cart to Ogwen..

As I was leisurely driving the carriage without Laika or Asili, I felt like I had really received a treatment. I arrived at Ogwen with my heart starting to feel strangely excited. Even though it was still early, quite a lot of people were moving around on the outskirts..

They were people with various purposes, such as people repairing the castle walls, people going into Ogwen, people coming out, etc., but most of them were adventurers..

There are more people than expected who work on construction sites because they lack the skills to go outside in the winter, so Ogwen is a pretty good city for them. Even though I had put down all my equipment, I entered the city looking at the adventurers who were strangely different from the masons and could easily be distinguished from them. As I had planned, I went out of my way to say hello to the familiar faces..

Even though the city had changed, the existing people were the same... No, in fact, they were more prosperous and living in abundance..

Uncle Tex's clothing store, which only collected and sold used clothes, grew to the point where he could display one or two clothes made of silk brought in from Ladan across the sea for display, and his daughter-in-law, Remiri, ran a branch, and Milena ran a branch in the northern district of Ogwen. Food ingredients were being supplied to most of the restaurants located in . Yance's blacksmith shop has moved to a new location to cater to adventurers, doubling its size and number of apprentices, and the little errand boys running around in all directions still maintain an acceptable appearance..

It was strange in many ways that the world was in chaos, saying there was a war against demons and all, but this place was becoming more prosperous as if it were another world, but it was a good thing for me anyway..

Even after wandering around for a few years, the people of Ogwen still saw me as a skillful errand boy, Eldmia, and were as happy with my growth as they were with my success, and readily accepted my suggestions without any hesitation..

"So I think I should steal some ingredients from my sister.."

"You bastard!! Say something like that in advance!!"

In fact, even Mrs. Alicia, who was the key character, didn't reject me, just threw a bunch of curses and slapped me on the back, so my business was able to be organized quite neatly..

Ms. Alicia, who was still full of energy, chuckled and hit me with a few smashes, and when I did not pretend to be in pain, she shook her head and stopped the violence. Without fail, she went into the kitchen, prepared food with the other children, and spoke to me..

"I would rather die than get sick. That's the end of the matter?"

"Right now? why? Is there anything I can help you with??"

"There is an abundance of labor. It wasn't anything else, Jin asked me to give him some time.."

"jin? Where are you??"

"These days, I mainly work at the adventurer's guild stable. I come here in the evening anyway, so if you’re not there, come back.."

Even though he started out as a foreigner, he can now be said to be the number one groom recognized in Ogwen. Why is this guy looking for me, who is occupying a room in Lady Alicia's orphanage without even getting a proper place to live, let alone getting married?.

Since I've experienced so many spectacular things these days, I was worried for a moment that I might be involved in some mysterious and mysterious incident, but I was told that in that case, he would need my help, so I hurried to the adventurer's guild..

I passed by the place where I had my first date with Ragnis, crossed the street where I lost my Galactica Phantom, and walked around the adventurer's guild and looked around the stables. I was able to find Jin without difficulty..

"Oh, brother, are you here?."

"OK. Alicia told me that she was looking for me. Something's going on?"

He wasn't the only one in the stable, but seeing as most of them were younger, it seemed like Jin was one of the most senior. The guy who was feeding hay to the horse gave various instructions to the little boy next to him and then approached me with a smile, but he didn't look very happy..

"It's none other than... Is the exploration of the ruins being conducted near my brother's house illegal??"

It was an unexpected question, but I wasn't surprised or embarrassed..

Rather than maintaining a perfect poker face, it was mostly because I thought it wouldn't be strange for a guy to notice this much. However, I couldn't clearly understand her intention, so instead of answering, I scratched her chin and watched Jin's reaction. Jin, who saw me like that, scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and continued his explanation..

"It's no different, but due to personal reasons, I often hear information about smuggling and smuggling on the beach. After I had more money in my pocket, I listened to it regularly and made friends I could trust, and that's where the story about the ruins came up.."

Even Jin himself said that he frequently receives illegal news on purpose, but it was even funnier that he didn't feel like he was collecting the news to do bad things. I don't know how he ended up from Ladan across the sea to the inland edge in the first place, so all I can think is that he must have his own circumstances..

"What are you saying??"

"The golden wizard poured a huge amount of money into exploring the ruins. Then, they suddenly cut off all the hired staff. But it was still there, etc. Rumors are going around that they have something to hide, so they hastily fired all the people they had hired.."

I wondered if the Banpoon who had been imprinted by Seneran risked their lives to spread the rumor, but seeing as the content can only be judged based on the circumstances, it seems not to be the case..

Even though he is a trustworthy guy, just as I was wondering how much I should explain to him to avoid causing problems, Jin lowered his voice as if he still had something left to say..

"However, it is said that a few days ago, people digging into the rumor appeared. Not with money, but with violence.."

And what followed was something that naturally made me wrinkle my eyebrows. Rumors spread as if they didn't even show their face twice, but if you just listen to the circumstances Jin gave, it was definitely the devil's army..

"Although the specific circumstances are unknown, it is said that there are signs that even the nobility and royal family are making moves in this regard. Even if it happens that the back is turned upside down,..."

"They just tell me to be careful.."

"Yes. Well, I'm not sure if you can take care of it.."

It's just that the purpose was to warn people by hearing the story. The reason you didn't come to me first was because you thought it could be a nuisance if your tail gets stepped on.?

Until now, I thought he was just a guy with a good sense of humor, but now that I've come this far, I can't shake off my doubts..

"What on earth are you doing??"

It's not for me to say, but he was a very strange and extraordinary guy. As if he was used to this kind of thing, he was quick to notice and knew a lot. However, he doesn't seem like a spy who comes to Etisel with a secret mission. The favor shown to me doesn't seem to have any other plans or gimmicks..

Thanks to this, I couldn't hold back the question that had been lingering for years, but Jin just shrugged his shoulders with a friendly smile..

I wanted to punch him for no reason because his reaction was so negative, but I thought that wasn't right for a guy who had even warned me in advance, so I decided to hold back..
