Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 72
The meal and drink with the warrior did not last that long..
Surprisingly, the warrior's body was weak to alcohol..
"You dude, huh? If you don't want to do it, don't do it.."
"It's going to spin, really.."
Even though he didn't know what he was being told not to do, Zeke, who used to make up his own sentences when he was in a good state of mind, had now reached the point where he was omitting content in his head and only spitting out conclusions..
"Zeke. It's too late now. Let's go back."
"Huh? okay? Then I have to go. Girls shouldn't be walking around late at night in this fucked up world.."
"Ugh. They told me to speak nicely.."
Unlike Nana and Ragnis, who can't help but look with cold eyes at this guy who gets drunk and makes all the fuss about him, the three women are smiling and looking at him as if they love even that guy..
However, the venom that was expressed to the fullest in everyday life was gone, but even I couldn't deny that I felt like I was looking at my younger brother because he had innocent, innocent eyes. Seeing her like that, instead of clicking her tongue, she poured out the remaining drink and drank it, and Ethel Lua took Zeke's glass from her and spoke to her..
"Sir Ega is a very good drinker. Among the people I know, there are few people who drink this well.."
"Is that so? I thought I drank it normally."
I think it was true that Catherine and Gin went beyond the scope of common sense. Of course, if the alcohol here had been beer, I wouldn't have been able to drink it because I was full, and if it had been soju, I wouldn't have been able to drink it because it wasn't tasty, but it is true that the taste and strength were close to whiskey, so I was able to drink it quite happily..
These are expensive types of alcohol that I wouldn't have been able to taste in my past life, so I have to drink them in times like this..
"Anyway, as Esselua said, it's late, so let's get up now, hero. Because tomorrow is not a holiday."
"Ugh. There's a sad legend tomorrow..."
"What kind of bullshit is this??"
"I don't believe in legends..."
I was managing my facial expressions, but I ended up losing my facial expression without realizing it. The first person I met in another world was a hero, so in the real world, I always knew it but didn't know it..
"And dude. uh? What the fuck are you a warrior? Call me Zeke hyung, fuck.."
"What's wrong with me that I call the guy by his nickname? Don't make any noise and just wake up. Does a bottle of alcohol make a warrior feel embarrassed??"
"I'm fine dude."
Of course, Zeke wasn't doing well. In the end, Esselua had no choice but to levitate him with magic, and we left the restaurant and parted ways..
"From the first day, it was a warrior and a drinking club. You're really talented."
And as soon as I left the restaurant, I couldn't help but be quite surprised by the sight of Radnellbandes leaning on the carriage and laughing heartily as he looked at the back of the group of warriors leaving for their lodgings. No, how is this guy here??
"Surprisingly. 4 The princess contacted her lodgings and asked for her carriage, so she followed along.."
"4 The princess?"
"hmm? I'm talking about Princess Esselua. Didn't you know??"
That's the princess?!
I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak, but once I got into the carriage, Ragnis sat next to me and explained..
"Although she is said to be a princess, she actually has no right of succession, so it is almost an honorary position. That's why, seeing her hanging out with the dragon, people start to think she's trying to use her heroism as an opportunity to gain her right to succession.."
"No, apart from that. Then Zeke was massaging the princess's buttocks and breasts everywhere in the academy? Is there no such thing as imperial blasphemy in the empire??"
"Is that possible? You just don't have any rights to the extent that it doesn't apply. They call her princess, and she doesn't regret it, she provides funds, but she only goes so far.."
It was a reality that I couldn't easily accept with my common sense, but since we both took it for granted, we didn't tackle it any further..
Instead, while listening to Ragnis' voice explaining to Radnellbandes what happened today, I reflected on the story I shared with Siegfried..
As he wasn't completely brainless, he didn't reveal everything at the first meeting. In the end, for both him and me, this meal was more of an exploration game..
However, one thing became clear that he was not being a mindless jerk. Siegfried, who was a bit clumsy but not stupid, clearly recognized that this world was not a fantasy world in a fairy tale where dreams and romance unfold..
He was trying to protect himself as much as possible under the major premise of 'equality' guaranteed by the Academy. He is grasping and understanding in detail a world that he does not yet know properly, and is constantly exploring how far his freedom is allowed within the title of warrior..
Of course, it was true that he was faithful to his own desires in the meantime, but.
"I'm not sure yet, but I think it can be said that a hero is a hero after all. Although it is thanks to Eldmia, the fact that I found out that first impressions are just an act is the biggest benefit of my visit to the empire.."
"From start to finish, I feel like I'm constantly in debt to you. I have to repay you.."
"It's just something I got caught by chance.."
"If you are a talented person who can solve problems that others cannot even if they decide to do it, shouldn't you maintain a good relationship through compensation?."
Radnellbandes, who smiled and answered much more quietly than usual, perhaps because it was night, was a man of respectable common sense. If you do it well, he is an elder on a different level from the common sense people who think it is their right..
"Well, I decided to think about it later. The accommodation that the Marquis of Vende gave me was quite a nice place. It was hard to believe that this was a house prepared for people staying for only a week.."
"The fact that my teacher said that makes me suddenly curious, even though I wasn't paying attention all day.."
"If you look at it, your curiosity will turn into suspicion. I have no idea what the empire is up to.."
I wondered if it was a situation where we had to worry so much about just one house, but considering the meeting and the hero's incident in the morning, it felt like a reasonable suspicion..
Above all, I don't think Radnelbandes is a person who flutters. Unlike me, who is just an ordinary commoner, he and Ragnis are people who have a unique position in the kingdom..
Although it had nothing to do with me, it was clear that this visit was very important and serious for both of them..
"Why doesn't it have anything to do with you, idiot?."
"Eh?"
"The butler and attendant who assists Margrave Levien beat the warrior, no matter how little it was in a sparring match, and he really believes that this will end in a surprise event for the day.?"
"Heh heh. How could that possibly be the case? It is a fact that the rumor has already spread even among our guests who were unpacking their luggage at the accommodation.."
"to?"
Is the empire even connected to the internet? This makes sense?
"You even had a meal with the hero today. You may be more hectic than me during your stay in the empire.."
There was nothing I could do towards Ragnis, who snorted and explained..
He just looked at Ragnis with the same expression as a beaver looking at a zookeeper destroying a barely built house..
◈
As Radnellbandes said, the accommodation provided by the Marquis of Vende was unusual. The mansion, which was not too big and felt like a villa, was already filled with very luxurious items, even to me who didn't know anything about fashion, as if it had been prepared to accommodate the number of us..
However, I was drunk and confused by the shocking truth I heard from Ragnis, so I had no time to admire it, so I had no choice but to wash up and fall asleep..
Before falling asleep, I prayed for the last time that nothing would happen. I think I dozed off for a moment, but I woke up with difficulty as the morning dawned..
There was no hangover. I just didn't want to wake up because I knew that a reality that couldn't be changed through prayer would come. After eating a meal prepared by the employees at the dormitory, getting ready for school, getting on the carriage with Ragnis and going to school for what felt like an eternity, the moment we arrived at the academy..
The nightmare became reality.
"Lord Eldmia! If you don't mind, wouldn't you like to have a serious conversation about swordsmanship with me?!"
"Lord Ega! How long do you plan to stay in the Empire? There's a small dinner party scheduled to be held at my family's house in 7 days. Is it possible... yes? You're dying in 6 days? Since it is a small dinner party, it is very easy to move up the schedule! Please visit...!"
"Mr. Eldmia! Please give us swordsmanship instruction.!"
It wasn't a club activity to win over the Super Rookies, but so many students were tracking our every move and contacting us..
At first, I thought Ragnis would suffer just like me, but what is this? Isn't there a single bitch who actually talks to her??
"We're one step removed from the academy's rules. I am a margrave. Even if you defeat the warrior, you are still a member of the Margrave's entourage. In other words, he is a commoner who is easy to approach.."
Ragnis, who succinctly answered my questions during the Introduction to Magic class, just smiled mischievously as if he was teasing me..
Smile? This is funny?
"do you laugh?"
"then. It makes me laugh. Margrave Levien of Itisel, whose attendant skills are also outstanding. Margrave Levien of Itisel who knows how to use chantless chants. Even if I just sit still, my evaluation skyrockets.?"
"This is a situation worth laughing at.."
After listening to it, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed because it was a story that was a little annoying to her, but quite helpful to her..
Still, the thought of having to suffer from something like this for the remaining six days still makes me dizzy, and my feeling of wanting to cry doesn't change either. I made a death sentence and Ragnis laughed when he saw that..
When the introductory magic class ended in such frustration,.
"Mr. Eldmia! i love you!"
"Would you please not date me on the condition of marriage??"
"If you come to my family, I would like to prepare you for a knighthood right away...."
Ragnis' expression began to turn as cold as ice as he witnessed a new group of female students suddenly appear..
Why is he biting his nails again?...?
