Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 71
The restaurant that Siegfried guided us to was, by all accounts, a high-end restaurant. It was so luxurious that even Ragnis recognized it as soon as he heard the name of the restaurant and hesitated..
It's a restaurant you'll probably recognize when you hear its name in this medieval fantasy world..
When I heard the story, it was said that this was possible because, unlike the kingdom or neighboring countries, the empire's infrastructure and overall industrial structure were quite excellent, and publicity and evaluation through magazines and pamphlets were very routine..
Well, the streets of the empire that I saw as I followed him all the way here were not only more sophisticated than those of the kingdom, but some even had a modern feel to them..
Even if it was the capital of a kingdom, it wasn't to this extent, but it was enough to make me wonder how the cultural difference could be so big..
"Eat as much as you want! Anyway, within the empire, just by using my name, the imperial family will take care of everything.."
"Just by looking at the menu name, I have no idea what it is.."
"okay? Then, I'll order something based on the chef's recommendation. The chef here has no joke about his cooking skills. No matter what comes out, you will be able to eat it deliciously.."
Unlike Ragnis, who was quite embarrassed and wary because Siegfried showed reactions so contradictory to his first impressions that a normal 18-year-old would suspect manic depression or a dual personality, I just nodded and took a sip of the fruit juice I had tried for the first time in this world..
hmm! apple flavor!
"Hey, Mr. Ega? Can I ask you one thing??"
I remember the elf glaring at me in a very arrogant manner when I first saw him, but for some reason the elf became extremely low-key and asked me a question first..
"yes. what. If you can answer."
"Did you, by any chance, purchase those earrings??"
And he very carefully asked me about the earrings I always wear. She made Asilier an amulet that had its own meaning, but since she asked if I had purchased it, I guess it's a custom that everyone knows since she's an elf. Is it something like a tribal tradition??
"no. I received this from an acquaintance. It's pretty?"
"Hehe! yes! yes very! You can almost feel the hand of the person who made it! It's so beautiful that it shines in platinum light!"
Didn't you just say heeik? I don't think he'd be that scared since he just barely defeated a warrior in a sparring match, but the reason that guy felt like he was on edge at first may have simply been because he was so shy..
Anyway, it makes me happy to hear so much praise for the earrings Asilier made.!
"haha. They say it was processed using magic. Take a look..."
"Hiyaaaaa! no! it's okay! How dare you, hehe! No, that's not it! If it had been made with so much care, it would have been made in honor of Eldmiaega's safety, but I feel like it's too much for me to touch it.!"
what.
Everyone, no matter who they were, froze at the rapid-fire words. The compliment certainly seemed sincere, but is it something other than shyness or myelinism?.
After all that, it seems like the gazes of Siegfried and the other two women are a series of surprises... I don't know why. Anyway, it didn't seem like she was very welcome, so I didn't try to take off her earrings and just had a drink. The elf then let out a sigh of relief and returned her body, which was completely stretched out behind her, to its original state..
"Well, if you think so."
"Go, thank you."
no. I have no idea what I'm thankful for..
Siegfried laughed and changed the subject, trying to ignore the whispers of Esselua and the nun about the elf whose name he had not yet heard..
"Well, whatever. It's Eldemia. What do you think a warrior is??"
"Is that why you ask right away??"
The students unanimously answered that the reason the hero Siegfried lost his friendships at the academy was because of his utter arrogance. Of course, the reasons for thinking that way were slightly different for men and women..
Men were usually angry at his existence for denying everything they had trained for, and most women were as well, but many of them were angry at Siegfried for not paying attention to them..
It's as if you say you're a hero, but you're so good that you don't even bother to distinguish me from those three women..
A man who looks down on everything because he is obsessed with what he has been given because he is a warrior. And the three women are always clinging to such a hero, wondering if there's anything that could fall for them, and they're just selling their bodies. There were extreme rumors out there..
Of course, this is a ridiculous rumor. From what I can see, the trust relationship they are building is not just a superficial relationship. Not only are they not wary of each other at all, but they actually trust each other. This can be seen just by looking at the eyes of the two people who are worried about the elf who was causing a game right in front of their eyes..
Above all, even in their first meeting, Siegfried accepted Esselua's point and did the same at the cafe. That alone does not make him an expert. He knows how to show basic consideration and listen to the advice of others, but it only applies to a limited number of people..
And it is clear that those three women have become his limited targets because they have met certain conditions, such as his current interest and interest in me..
"well. The decisive battle weapon against the Demon Lord?"
"under! As expected, I like your ideas because they are different from other guys. I don't know anything else, but you think similar to me.."
Siegfried smiles even though he, the hero, is treated like a weapon rather than a human being..
"So how do you think a person who was a human until yesterday would feel if he suddenly no longer gets treated as a human??"
"It must be shit.?"
I answered immediately without thinking for even a second, and Siegfried smiled cheerfully again and nodded. young. He was a friend who laughed more than I expected..
"That's right! alchemist!"
"...I'm not an alchemist."
"There is such a thing, you idiot! Anyway, the key is to be correct. I am! But fuck, even all the guys in the whole neighborhood look up to me like I'm something.."
Savior of mankind. The one who will kill the devil. God's representative. brightness of empire.
Was it 4 years ago that you received the trust? If he were an ordinary 14 or 15 year old boy, it would have been overwhelming, he would have felt that the world revolved around him, and he would have already felt like a hero..
But that guy is a reincarnated person like me. Even leaving aside whether you are a bit old, a little young, or short-thinking, it means that even if your mental age is poor, you are older than 14 years old..
"He grabbed a human who was living well and suddenly said, 'Please save our tribe, warrior. We will also give you the strength to match. Instead of giving it to you for free, I will ruin the life you have lived so far.' Even if you say something like this and hit me in a hard place, I'll say, 'Ah, I see. All right.' Is there any way you can follow that request??"
"No. If it were me, I would have ripped off the man who said those words.."
Of course, in this life, I am given another chance to live after dying unfairly, so I have no complaints. Rather, I am living my life with faith because I don't know specifically who it is..
But looking at Siegfried's reaction now, it seems clear that he is here in a completely different form than me..
"This is it! This is a statement with proper common sense! It's Luya. It won't work. Let's have a drink for the first time in a while."
"Ugh. Is it that good? When are you going to kill that arrogant guy?..."
"Hey, people can misunderstand things when they first meet, that's right.."
I guess we had similar thoughts. But it's Ji's fault, right??
As expected, he's a guy with a bit of a bob haircut..
Ragnis, who had been unable to come to his senses from his continued high tension as he noticed Siegfried calling a waiter and ordering something additional, slowly came closer to me and asked quietly..
"What are you talking about? I think I'm now hearing stories about heroes not wanting to do hero work.?"
"It might be slightly different, but it's roughly the same.."
"Isn't this a strange connection??"
"You don't really have to worry about that. Rather, Siegfried will only be interested in talking to me, so you can find out more about this and that by talking to women.."
"this and that?"
"Their relationship, or the reason they started hanging out together. Several."
Considering the reaction just now, I could actually guess something..
Do not harbor one-sided illusions about being a warrior. Not considering being a warrior a privilege.
I think they were able to become close to Siegfried because they had such an idea..
He's a human too. No matter how good you are or how good you are, the loneliness and isolation that comes from being dropped into a world you don't even know about is beyond imagination..
Even I felt that way when I was young, even though I had a family..
In the meantime, becoming a warrior made it difficult to even have normal, ordinary human relationships. I don't know if I was born like that, but just as my past life was normal, so was he..
Most people who approach you only praise you, use you, or show admiration and envy. Who would dare to simply eat the warrior and friend that God gave them??
He is no longer Siegfried the human, but Siegfried the hero..
Needless to say, this is a much more serious situation than people simply approaching you for money..
At least there are a lot of rich people in the world, right? That's just not me.
There may have been reincarnated heroes in previous generations, but at least for now, there is only one: Siegfried..
"Are you good at drinking alcohol??"
"I barely drink it."
"Hehehe. very good. This is life."
As I thought about it, I began to understand a little why he behaved like that..
I have no intention of following the words of an unknown being, whether a god or a goddess, who destroyed my life and dropped me in another world..
However, since I don't know how to return anyway, I can't watch the world I live in in the future be destroyed, and it's true that I feel sorry for people, and it's true that I have power, so I can't be a bad person, so it's hard to ignore them..
So let's help. Exorcise monsters and subdue thieves. In the end, even the devil will be defeated when the situation calls for it..
However, he slanders and acts hostilely towards all approaches and actions that try to take advantage of him..
If he doesn't meet people who understand his true feelings, he will inevitably become isolated, but that wouldn't have been a problem to him originally..
He would have been alone in this world anyway.
That being said, I just kick people who approach me without any self-interest and say, ‘I’m lonely.’ That's why I go around with those three because I'm not an asshole who mumbles, and like me, if you meet someone you can communicate with and doesn't see yourself as special, they'll tell you to like them like that..
"what? What do you think??"
"I was wondering if I knew of any expensive liquor that I could rip off from the hero.."
"Hey dude. Even if you worry about cancer, it won't even be half the price of the alcohol you'll drink in the future.."
That confident, toothy smile began to look a little less obnoxious..
