Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 470

[470[Tuesday] Apostate may care, but I don't

As expected, Siegfried was younger than me..

What more needs to be said? The result was obvious, as it was proven that his age and mine were in a perfect hierarchical relationship..

"Little brother, do well in the future.?"

"Wow... hehe..."

As we left the tent, patting Siegfried on the shoulder, who answered with gritted teeth as if he had made the wrong choice to get his hair done by a lady at a local hair salon, people who appeared to be imperial knights greeted us along with Princess Esselua..

It was not because I had any specific requirements, but because I was in a situation where I had no choice but to be noticed, it was more like Princess Esselua was considerate so that I could keep a reasonable distance from my surroundings. Afterwards, she explained the situation as she had agreed with Siegfried in advance and announced her intention to accompany him to the battle tomorrow. Unlike the knights who expressed their favor with a brief exclamation, Princess Ethelrua expressed her doubts..

"are you okay? There will be people in the kingdom who look at you with unfavorable eyes.."

"No need to worry. This is a matter that has already been agreed upon with the Princess of Messina.."

All those who are dissatisfied with the fact that Itisel's Flute Knight moves to the battlefield without any agreement with the commander and immediately moves with the warriors of the empire will be ruled by royal order. My purpose in the first place was to prevent Siegfried and the Demon King's army, who knew how to use Korean, from getting involved with the army, so there was no reason to get involved with the army..

"My brother will be able to explain the details well. yes?"

"...Yes. I'm sorry..."

This is so funny. If I show it to Esmu later, I'm sure she'll love it so much that she'll die..

"Zeke...?"

Regardless of my sentiments, it was Princess Esselua who could not accept the sudden change in the situation and collected hooks above her head, but the excuse for this was also Siegfried's responsibility. She decided to make a very embarrassing claim that she had saved Entyre's life and that out of gratitude, she had decided to treat him as her older brother..

Welcome to the world of brotherly reversal, Esselua..

"...this. Excuse me, Asilier guided me to the accommodation prepared in advance. I have attached servants and escorts and already told them, so if you need anything, feel free to give them instructions.."

Expressing gratitude to Princess Esselua for her consideration, who later realized that I had been dazed, I headed to the tent where Asilier was resting with an imperial knight who served as a guide..

Siegfried decided to tell me what to do for tomorrow, so I didn't have to worry about anything from then on..

It wasn't that he was wasting time on an annoying task, but he wanted to respect the judgment of Siegfried and the soldiers who had been fighting for months or years on this battlefield, so he didn't complain..

"Then rest in peace.."

As soon as I arrived at the tent, I entered the room, responding to the polite greetings of the knights of the guard and the imperial knights with polite manners, as if handing over the handover. As I entered, I saw a person standing upright with his eyes downcast, with a neat posture and attire as if in a painting. Asilier was seen sitting on the bed with two maids, continuously stroking Laika, and looking clearly uncomfortable with the maids..

"Why are you so uncomfortable, sister? I think it's a maid like Tie.."

That sight was so funny that I blurted out a word, and Asili looked at me as if I was dumbfounded and protested..

"Tie doesn't just stand still in one place and wait for my instructions....!"

The maids also laughed softly, as if they were unfamiliar with this kind of reaction, and I laughed because I was surprised that Asilier had never experienced anything like this even though she had lived for over a hundred years, and ended up getting hit on the shoulder for being rude..

"More than that, did the story end well??"

At my reaction, Asilie puffed out her cheeks and quickly took off her accessories with the help of the maids. After putting down her Leica and brewing tea using a luxurious teapot that had been placed in advance, Asilier spoke first..

"huh. It was sorted out without any major problems. Now, I think it will be completed by joining the next operation and capturing the illusion wizard.."

"I followed along for the best, but it's a bit... unfortunate that we can't stand together on the battlefield.."

Asilier's bow skills are definitely close to a state of art, but that's only limited to her bow skills, and she's definitely weak in close combat, so she can't play on the battlefield like Entyre..

It was for that reason that I only aimed for sniping when fighting the Demon Lord's Special Forces, so I know better than anyone else that it was nothing new, but Asilier's face as she handed me the teacup was full of sincere regret..

But I think it's a good thing that Asilier isn't good at close combat..

"Even if my sister was good at close combat, I would have been reluctant this time.."

From what we briefly discussed, the weapon that created the hole in Entire's shoulder was a spear..

Considering that Siegfried's skill is not at an easy level, it is said that he is either a skilled spearman or a mass offensive enough to target the guy's back and attempt a surprise attack, but he pierced the shield of Entyre, a swordsman warrior, along with his shoulder. So of course it is close to the former..

"The axeman took out his secondary weapon with the feeling that it was a last resort, but there is a high possibility that this was his main weapon.."

A strong man who fights with a weapon that can cause tetanus just by brushing against it. It is said that since Entyre's attack, it has become the military's policy to bombard the area with high-ranking magic when a similar-looking person appears, so what more explanation is needed?.

After I finished explaining, Asilier's gaze began to fill with worry and concern, but I just accepted her promise to be careful and did not try to dissuade her..

That's how the first day of arriving at the front went..

Although there was an unknown threat lurking on the battlefield, the signs were good, such as treating Entire and resolving Siegfried's problem as soon as we arrived, so we were able to sleep peacefully despite the bustling atmosphere..

◈

When I woke up to the sound of the battlefield trumpet, which I had not heard for a while, it was after the winter sky, where the sun rose late, became clearly bright..

Even though it was a front line, they did not steadfastly blow the weather trumpet. While a battle was taking place on the battlefield far away, I was awakened by a signal that rang out in my ears. However, the mere fact that I woke up to the sound of the trumpet made me feel bad, which was an unavoidable racial characteristic of those who were fully discharged from the Republic of Korea, and I crawled out of the tent, asking Asilier, who was still half asleep, to her maids..

It felt like black humor to be able to sleep leisurely while people were dying on the battlefield... but since I was planning on running around with Siegfried today anyway, I didn't feel particularly sorry or noticed. Even the hard-working soldiers only glanced at me briefly as they passed by, and showed their reverence, but did not curse or express their dissatisfaction with their eyes..

Honestly, it might have been easier to curse with my eyes. I don't know how the rumor about the flute knight spread, but thanks to the passing soldiers saluting as if they had just met a country-saving hero, I was more noticed for getting some fresh air than for waking up late..

"No matter how much I listen to the damn trumpet, I can't get used to it.."

If our younger brother Siegfried hadn't approached us grumbling from afar, we would have snuck back into the tent. I must have woken up early, but I made eye contact with the guy who was already fully equipped and walking towards me, and I greeted him with a smile..

"Welcome back little brother."

"Oh my gosh. I can't get used to this anymore."

"Why are you so sore this morning?."

"It's going to spin, really. Who ever thought we'd be having this conversation here?."

I guess he doesn't like it, seeing as he's shaking his head and tearing it apart. Even though there are escorts, he even seems relaxed enough to playfully pretend to bow in greeting..

"Have you eaten, brother?."

"I just woke up."

"Good for you. Let’s go out for a meal together.."

"Damn, that expression really sucks.."

I kicked without even realizing it. Siegfried was still grinning and naturally blocked my kick with his shin guard, but he nodded as if it wasn't a joke and said to the guard guarding the entrance..

"Later, tell the maids to bring only Asilier’s share.."

"I can't digest the soldiers, warrior.."

"I'm playing. Would people who say they can't digest food try to steal my bread?."

I thought he was having an easy conversation because he is an imperial knight, but when I listen to him talk, he seems to just maintain a consistent attitude and live without any sense of distance. As Laika, who was trying to sneak out, was sent back inside and followed, Siegfried, who had maintained a grumpy attitude until just now, calmed down his posture and expression and quietly opened his mouth..

"This is a story I just heard, and the demon king seemed to have noticed that his brother was coming, so his movements changed a bit.."

I knew it was going to be a serious story, but it felt a bit random, so I tilted my head. Defensive magic that counters observation magic is one of the basics on the battlefield, so that's probably not the case, and even surveillance with a telescope 24 hours a day is possible.?

"By what means??"

"Were you attacked by monsters on the way here? Those aren't naturally occurring ones.."

Ah, the living, breathing noise pollution. I thought he was showing crazy aggression, but there was something there as expected..

"Monster trainer? Or mind control?"

"I still can't figure it out. Since quantity is the goal, only aggressiveness is maximized. Among them, only one or two are used as surveillance drones, making it difficult to catch them.."

"Don't we have anything like that??"

"There is, but the scale and use are different. I'm operating it with the feeling that it's mainly reconnaissance.."

In times like this, he really has a lot of magic power. Siegfried was glaring at me with his nose wrinkled in dissatisfaction, but I couldn't help but kick the shin guards one more time..

"anyway. I brought up the story because of how things have changed.?"

"It seemed like he was nervous that he might do what his brother did during the Battle of Lévien.."

"...rear surprise?"

With a short nod, a smile spread across Siegfried's lips..

"I wasn't just nervous, I was extremely nervous. Enough to push the wire slightly."

It's as if superior intelligence has actually become poison. I understood what Siegfried meant and smiled equally at the unexpected gain..

"I won't surprise you."

"I know yeah."

If you had seen it from a distance, it would have looked like two villains laughing, not two heroes laughing..
