Never touch Eldmia Egar - Episode 456
[456[Tuesday] Punishment
While the heresy judges, led by the saint, knocked out the nameless wizard and dragged him to the ruins, I and Asilier searched the belongings of the demon lords..
Because they are the ones who handle their own shitty things, I thought there was something to be gained, whether it was information or equipment..
Because I made a big deal out of it, there would inevitably be an investigation from Ogwen and the royal family, so I had to shake off everything I could in advance. At that time, we had to pretend to be innocent victims who accidentally got involved in the ‘infighting between demons who smuggled in’ and claim that we had nothing to do with it..
"Did you find anything? It's not cool here."
"Same goes for this one. It's good to carry at least one useful dagger... Oh, sister, please collect the daggers there too. I think I should write some.."
When I explained my crazy idea to Asili, who was questioning me for suddenly becoming a dagger collector, she was horrified by my intention to break up an ordinary dagger and eat it to use as an arrowhead that was purposely made to open wounds. However, I agreed that it would be quite useful..
"Now that I think about it, all the weapons used by Eldi are sturdy. You somehow came up with that idea.."
"When I saw that guy’s dagger, that thought suddenly occurred to me.."
This is what I felt as I clashed with the demons' weapons, which were said to be made of magic gold, but it was true that Mr. Balkun did not simply melt the magic gold and re-make it into a sword, but did some additional processing. It is true that the javelin used by the buffalo horn and the hatchet man's hatchet both accepted magical power well, but there was a clear difference in strength..
Thanks to this, I suddenly felt like I should spend some money and give expensive alcohol as a gift when I go back this time..
"...They said it was the remnants of an evil spirit.?"
As I was about to pass the expensive drink and think about how to explain the harpooned sword, Asilier's voice, which came after a while, interrupted my thoughts. When she turned her head, she saw Asilie holding the daggers recovered from the corpse of the Demon Lord and looking at the corpse of the axeman with a cast full of worry..
"Hey, why are you so worried, sister?."
"Do you feel like you don't have to worry now? They say it's an evil spirit.."
Even though she had never talked about what happened with Lumings, Asilier's expression was not very good, perhaps because she did not dismiss the threat from the evil spirit as a legend..
"Are you saying that if he had been stabbed by that dagger, L.D. would have ended up like that? It ended well this time, but you never know what will happen next time.."
"Ah... I don't know what to say about that...."
Even if it becomes a knife holder, it will end up being something similar to the devil, so from my point of view, it can be considered a downgrade, but getting stabbed directly by that thing is a different story..
Even the link of magical power I shed right now is a force that is trying to reverse and overcome me. I wasn't immediately sure if I could safely push away if I got stabbed directly in my body..
"Still, I got used to feeling divine power while training with the saint, so I was able to sense it quickly. This was my first time seeing it, so I had no idea what it was. If you pay attention, you won't fall for it.."
"really?"
"No matter how much I try to reassure my sister, I won't reassure her with lies. No matter how much I look like a suicidal person, I am definitely a person trying to live.?"
As I shrugged my shoulders, pretending that the world was unfair, Asilier burst into laughter and lightly stretched out her fist while holding the daggers and touched my shoulder..
"I know from seeing my sister that if she doesn't use it on her enemies, she'll stick it in her body and use it like that. In that state, she's no different from a devil. And the devil is no threat to me. Eldmia Egara, a demon hunter who killed even the great devil.?"
I didn't bother to mention the worst-case scenario where a warrior far superior to me wields it as a weapon. And it was the same for Asili..
It was a reaction close to resignation, knowing that I wouldn't stop walking even if there was a guy like that anyway, so this time he sneakily approached me first and gave me a light hug..
"What is it? You're being cute now?"
"I do that because I'm sorry."
"Hehe, I guess you know it’s a sorry situation, right? I guess my senses have become quicker since I became a hero... Is there some special power of the hero that I don't know about??"
Asilier, who lightly laid her head on my chest without specifically rejecting my touch, looked up and said, unlike her cute reaction, it was a rather serious question..
Rather than a light joke, it was clear that he was guessing something..
"...that is."
I tried to open my mouth, thinking that the time had come to talk about my past life, but I couldn't open my mouth easily..
Part of the reason was that I felt sorry for keeping it a secret until now, and part of the reason was that the mistakes I made calmly while acting like a child were overlooked, but the biggest concern was that I would be treated as a foreign entity and rejected..
It was really funny. Cutting down and killing anyone who gets in your way is a topic that has become a localized topic without any hesitation, but being rejected by the one person you like means being the same fearful person as you were in your previous life..
Asilier, who had been playfully rolling her eyes from side to side while looking at me, suddenly opened her mouth. It was around this time that I was contemplating how to speak while applying saliva to my naturally dry lips..
"I know stories about the warriors who have been on the continent so far.?"
"huh?"
Since I already knew Siegfried's identity, I had an idea of what kind of beings the heroes were, so I didn't actually know anything that could be called their 'story'..
Ordinary kids might have been interested in that heroic biography, but to me it was just a record with no meaning..
Above all, such things are usually written in the biographies or biographies of heroes, but since it was hundreds of years ago that the existence of heroes appeared in Ethisel, they were not a constant issue like the Empire, and no matter how much they were said to save the human race, Since most of the warriors belonged to the empire, there were not many documents or books in Itisel that praised them as heroes..
Thanks to you, while I was hesitating about how to answer this question, Asilier spread her arms around my waist and continued speaking..
"It seems that there were quite a few warriors from a completely different world. Some people come with just their souls, while others come with their bodies.."
"That... That's a really hard story to believe.."
"yes? Still, looking at the records and actions they left behind, it seems to be true. There is also a story that the reason the empire's development was particularly outstanding was the result of applying some of the knowledge possessed by such warriors.."
It's a story full of possibilities, and it's something I actually assumed would be the case. Even if I just compared the various infrastructures I saw in the capital of the empire and the Western Kingdom, the difference was worlds..
I couldn't help but understand her intention in suddenly saying this, so I pursed my lips and lowered my head. Asilier's eyes were staring straight at me, infinitely clear and full of affection as always..
It seemed as if he had already guessed it to some extent, but as I met his gaze, which clearly showed his will to hear it from my mouth, I found it a little funny that I had hesitated for fear of being rejected if I brought up the story of my past life..
If I don’t trust Asilier, who will I trust?.
...Of course, there are more people to trust now, but the most important priority is Asili..
'The question of ‘how’ to speak turns into ‘where to start’ to speak..
At the same time, I felt much more at ease, and a half-hearted smile formed on my face without me realizing it. After that, I realized that there was nothing more to talk about and the words came out naturally..
"Actually, my mental age is around 40 years old.."
My answer was so unexpected and strange that I burst out laughing as I saw Asilier arching her eyebrows as if asking what I was talking about..
Torture will take time anyway, so there is time..
I have to tell you everything today.
◈
After roughly arranging the corpses and returning home with the car that had been circling in the sky waiting for my commands, and only after making Laika hold me in preparation for any possible psychological shock, I told Asilier how I came to be reincarnated..
Asilier was very calm, missing a few of the clichéd reactions she would have had. She listened to me, and instead of responding with nonsense or questioning my sanity, she simply expressed a few genuine questions about a world that had evolved into something different from this one..
"So... there is a possibility that he is from the same world as Siegfried.?"
"Rather than saying it’s a possibility, it’s definitely going to happen. Parallel world... Ah, it's a story about two worlds where almost everything is the same. In any case, unless the world that Siegfried and I lived in is a very similar world.."
Still, it didn't mean there weren't any surprises. Her hands kept stroking Laika from head to tail, as if she had first heard that I was a hero, and her ears kept moving unsteadily..
At the time, I felt grateful that even that sight was suppressing my astonishment as much as possible out of consideration for me..
After regaining some composure, she suddenly opened her mouth with a mischievous smile, and I automatically closed my eyes and seriously wondered if it was now my turn to accept Laika..
"Then, Eld shouted ‘Eldmia Chance’ when he was around 30 years old.?"
All that came out of her mouth was my fucking karma..
