Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 46
"Master and others also thought so. How did you guess that??"
For some reason, Ragnis was surprised with a very happy tone..
"I'm just upset...?"
To be honest, I wonder if it's that surprising, but in some ways, it might be a reasonable reaction..
The act of predicting or anticipating a situation is ultimately based on experience and knowledge, unless you are a genius. If someone who doesn't even know the king's name were to guess the overseas situation without any information, anyone would be shocked. I was scared for a moment thinking that Ragnis might have looked at me that way just now..
"Right now, wouldn't that be the case at the academy you and Cheryl attend? It's just that the scale is different, but what they do seems similar.."
"Hmm... I guess so.?"
"Above all, it's already been 5 years since I started training as a hero. Saying something like that now would be close to exposing their incompetence, depending on the outcome, but the fact that they made the suggestion without any hesitation is also a criticism. I thought it was closer to a form of asking people to come and see it because they are confident.."
In order to somehow make it feel like what I came up with wasn't a big deal, I hurriedly added more flesh and organized the story in my head one more time..
I said it, but it's so true. It's like a nuclear weapons demonstration.?
Look at the weapons we have raised for the decisive battle against the Demon Lord. If you don't want to be looked down on by those of us who will soon kill the Demon King and conquer the Demon World, you will have to stand in line carefully. I'm starting to think that this is exactly what I'm calling it for..
...uh?
"When I think about it, I feel dumbfounded and angry.?"
"Ugh, uhh?"
"Some people are losing everything they have and gnashing their teeth because of the devil's army, but aren't those who actually elected the hero using it to do something close to playing politics? In fact, my training as a warrior was already over, but I'm not looking at this anymore.?"
As soon as I thought about it, my hands and feet began to tremble and my teeth began to grind without even realizing it. There is nothing that cannot be understood because the power struggle between countries ultimately requires putting their own interests first. Isn’t it all business after all??
But isn't it a deception that goes too far in treating the Demon Lord's army as if it is a threat to the world and is the main enemy of humanity? Is it too much to feel like the problem is not just the Demon King's army commander, but also someone in the empire who needs to be put on the kill list??
Somehow, as time goes by, it feels like only pure shit is popping up.?
"Eh, Eldmia? are you okay?"
It wasn't until I felt the warmth of Ragnis, who came next to me and placed his hand on my fist, that I suddenly came to my senses. and. Is this really annoying? I was dumbfounded for a moment..
"uh...? Oh sorry. Really sorry. I lost my mind for a moment."
Before I knew it, I was clenching my fists so much that my nails were digging into my palms. In that short moment, I was so angry that I couldn't control myself, so I couldn't even feel the pain, and it wasn't until I saw the wound on my palm that it really hurt..
"...wait a moment."
Ragnis, who was looking at me with mixed eyes, went to the desk and took out something..
"It's a powder that helps activate mana.."
What she brought was something that looked like a container of Yonggaksan that my father often ate in his past life. Even though what was in it was a similar-looking powder, I felt repulsed for a moment without realizing it, but as if it was natural, she took a little of it and began to spread it on the wound on my palm..
Ugh, I got goosebumps for a moment thinking about Ryukaksan powder getting into the wound. However, even though a foreign object entered the wound, I did not feel any pain at all..
"Although it is not as good as divine power, it can increase self-recovery. This powder enhances the effect even more. The prosecutor must not easily injure the palm of the hand.."
Ragnis began to use magic as he folded his hands and touched the wound, trying to smile..
"...Fortunately, it didn't hurt that badly. If you used your magic power to make a fist, wouldn't there be a hole in your palm??"
"That's...ha. That's right. A finger must have stuck out the back of his hand.."
"Ugh. That's a bit gross.."
"flaw. sorry. It's been a while since I saw you, but you showed your ugly side.."
It was something that can only be described as impulsive. I don't have any evidence, and my emotions are swayed by my own speculations. I don't think I've ever felt anything like this in my entire life..
I guess I got a little loose without realizing it because I was beating up Dantel..
"I understand. If I thought like that, I would be very angry regardless of whether it was true or not.."
Since Ragnis was one of the few people who had been through the same situation as me, she treated my hideous act as nothing special and moved on. Instead, she spoke with a lively tone, as if she was trying to change the mood..
"anyway! It was decided that we were in a difficult position to refuse such a request from the empire. So I think I have to go to the empire as soon as possible.."
"Of course the royal family promised compensation.?"
"Hehehe. of course. In fact, it is not a problem because sufficient consultation took place.."
"If that's the case, then something else is the problem. If you call me and tell me about it, it means you want help.?"
"Yes. that's right."
After all, if you helped me once, there's no reason you can't help me a second time. When he shrugged his shoulders and looked at me as if asking me to speak, Ragnis' hand, which was still holding my hand, began to fidget. He doesn't even seem to realize that he is holding my hand..
"Well, if it’s okay, won’t you come with me??"
"to the empire?"
"...huh."
"no."
I can help, but I can't do anything about time issues. Maybe I've already achieved my revenge, but I'm still racing against time. From the Margrave's point of view, to get to the empire, you have to go in a procession by carriage without even being able to ride a dragon. It was clear that the journey would take a month..
I felt sorry for Ragnis, who looked bewildered by my immediate answer, but I clearly drew the line..
"too far."
However, Ragnis' lost expression turned bright red at my one word, and he answered energetically..
"that?! that!! Don't go by carriage! I'm going to the gate!"
"uh? okay?"
It looks like the kingdom is providing more extensive support than expected. I know that not everyone uses Gate, but.
"Then of course I have to help. When are you going to go??"
"thank you!"
I tried to tell Ragnis, who didn't answer and was just hugging me, to keep his body, but I decided to just pat him on the back..
Even if Radnelbandes is there and there are helpers around him, Ragnis is still an orphan..
Thanks to Asili, I felt a quasi-family relationship and had someone to rely on, but she would still be anxious about everything. So, I think she felt like relying on me, who was a great help to her when she was having a hard time..
"Yes, yes. Okay, tell me quickly when you are going to go.."
"Preparations were continuing, so maybe a week at the earliest? I have already relayed the story to Lord Ekaf and Sheryl, so there will be no problem as long as you clearly tell Eldmia your intention later.."
"There won't be any problem."
Engrim's request took a while, but seeing as they were in such a hurry, it probably wouldn't take a week. In the first place, in some cases, you don't have to spare any effort to finish the request quickly by tearing down this and that. it will work out somehow.
Ragnis, who hugged me with all his might, showed his flushed face with joy and began to speak with a smile..
"under. I'm so glad..."
-Knock. Knock.
At that time, a voice was heard along with a knock..
"miss. I brought the car."
Oh, come to think of it, the bell rang as soon as I sat down. I guess he was telling me to bring the car. Ragnis, startled by that voice, cleared his throat once and spoke solemnly..
"Come in."
"Hey...!"
You crazy bitch! You don't really understand what you're doing.!
It felt like an eternity before I suddenly felt cold sweat rising up my spine, picked up Ragnis and threw him on the sofa on the other side, sat back down and pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened..
Ragnis, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face and didn't understand the situation until that moment, only when the door was half-opened and I managed to calm my startled heart and sit down on the sofa did he understand what an obscene act he had almost committed..
The fact that her face didn't turn red was enough to show that her self-control was amazing..
And our efforts were rewarded when the maid who opened the door, set the teacups and tea, and left without noticing anything strange..
"Whoa. I endured it for ten years, really.."
"Whoo, whoo! Wow, I was surprised.."
"Come to your senses. You are the margrave. And then something really big happens.."
Now my wife and I, who are both adults, are clinging to me so much..
"I, I, don't just do this to anyone... I don't......"
After sending him a reprimanding look, Ragnis' face began to turn bright red as he wiggled his fingers and lowered his head..
The sight was truly red from head to toe..
