Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 97

After eating with Esmueh, we took the carriage back to the academy..

Normally, he would have contacted the mansion through the restaurant manager and had a carriage wait for him at the restaurant, but Esmu, unlike herself who still had work to do and had to go back to the academy, was mildly grumpy at the idea of ​​us going back and resting and dragged us back to the academy. dragged in.

Because I understood the disappointment in that action, I just laughed it off, and although Ragnis still reacted in a sullen tone, he didn't say anything. After saying a brief goodbye to Esmueh, we parted ways and headed to the carriage that was already waiting as if we were making a transfer..

The only difference is that the reactions of the students who encountered us were completely different from yesterday.?

Even Ragnis took it for granted, so I had to get on the carriage in a dazed mood. Fortunately, Ragnis, who understood my feelings well, explained that our treatment has changed from temporary students to envoys, so even the students who approach us have disappeared..

From now on, I feel like it's the country's business.?

Well, I thought that was understandable, but I also thought that it was quite amazing that students could change their attitude so quickly and adapt to the situation. Perhaps they could even accept being suddenly called up as soldiers overnight? After thinking about it that way, I thought that even such a change in consciousness was part of the education induced by the empire..

"From tomorrow, there is no need to escort Esmueh.."

Ragnis said in the carriage running towards the mansion after a short day, if it is that long, if it is that short, it is short..

"Because now it's an envoy?"

"huh. why? It's a shame?"

It was such an obvious reaction that all I could do was laugh, but since my situation was such that I couldn't even laugh, I had to control my facial expression as much as possible..

"It's not because you asked casually, I really don't have any thoughts.."

From the beginning, the Eldmia Ega service, which clearly differentiates between public and private affairs, has already been in the best work mode in most situations since coming to the empire. There was just a surprise incident in the meantime..

Of course, there was a big change in my state of mind and perception due to that unexpected incident, but the reality was that I was still out of my mind..

"It's not that I didn't like it.?"

"It's hard to openly dislike someone who likes me."

Above all, I am currently having the most peaceful time in a long time..

Rudra's asshole wasn't even on the stress axis, and even today's field trip wasn't a big deal. Rather than feeling like I was here to help Ragnis for a week, it felt more like I was on a random vacation. How could I feel bad because I even had someone who liked me?.

"...I guess so.."

I don't know what he understood and understood, but Ragnis didn't express any dissatisfaction with my reaction..

"I know that? I was definitely very nervous and anxious before I first came to the empire, but after only staying for 5 days, I no longer felt any discomfort.."

Instead, I looked out the window and brought up another topic..

"Not only was life affluent in the imperial capital, but unlike the atmosphere of the kingdom, which flowed as if dancing on a knife's edge, the high-ranking officials of the empire, including the Marquis of Vendée, were very cooperative. When I'm like this, everything like the war against demons and territorial recovery feels like a distant story.."

"I agree with that part too.."

From the time I was a child who didn't even know I would have to do hardcore survival in another world until now, who would have ever imagined that I would end up living an unexpected life at an academy?.

Even though it was said that until a few days ago, he cut off the heads of demons and people at a secret request from the Adventurer's Association, even that feels really far away. If it were a different situation, I would have felt like settling for this..

For example, I have already gotten my revenge..

"But nothing has changed."

Of course, that wasn't the case, so this temporary feeling didn't last long. And it seemed like the same was true for Ragnis..

"That's right, Eldmia. Although...I have changed a little because of Esmueh, just as you can't rest before you complete your revenge, I don't think I can rest until I return to my hometown and find traces of my parents.."

It's a miserable story. No matter how rationally we looked at it, in the end we were both tied to revenge..

It was truly deplorable that children, who were only 15 or 17 years old, were doing this..

"But I guess there's a separate problem from not being able to rest.?"

"...huh? What is that again??"

"I told you this in the morning. I would do it too."

Without even having time to think about what he said in the morning, Ragnis woke up in an instant and approached me from across the room and kissed me..

If you kiss often, you'll get used to it, but what's so familiar?!

It might be okay to be with the same person, but kissing a new girl every single day is bad for your heart.!

Due to the synergy of the luxury carriage and the stable road, Ragnis approached me without any hesitation, and only after kissing me calmly and firmly did he retreat, and I once again felt the threat of heart disease and had no idea what to do..

"I did it with Esmueh and the reaction was cute.?"

"Is that the same as this?...!"

It's so embarrassing that you don't even have time to realize that you clearly know what Esmuët was doing. However, unlike me, Ragnis was surprisingly calm and just smiled in satisfaction..

Was he this confident and active? I'm thinking, "How on earth have I been up to this point?" It seems like I've actually been quite proactive and active ever since I was at Ogwen. She even got involved with the Holy Light Cross and did orphan relief work..

If you look at his personality alone, he's closer to a warrior than a wizard..

"I guess you don't like it?"

Ragnis intentionally said the same words as before in a different tone, but in the end, I could only blush and not give a proper answer until I returned to the mansion..

Perhaps because he was satisfied with the response, Ragnis did not lose his smile the entire time..

◈

The next morning, I had no time to shake off the shame of my lips being robbed like public property..

We headed to the gate inside the academy for today's event..

For today's event, the team competition, we have to go to the mock tactical training range, but it is located a little distance away for security and safety reasons..

"The more I look at it, the more sincere I am in educating the cadets.."

I felt like I was investing so much that I couldn't help but feel that way naturally. The Royal Palace Academy is also very practical-oriented, but the cost of facilities is incomparable. I guess the imperial class is on a different level..

Ragnis, who was walking with me as an escort, asked if he had the same thoughts as me..

"When tomorrow's schedule is over and we return, the warrior will begin receiving proper training.?"

"I guess so. I don't know when I'll see you again, but I'm sure I'll be stronger by then.."

His swordsmanship is still poor, but his magic is real..

I don't know anything else, but I was able to reach that level in just half a year, so if I teach this and that for just one year without any gaps, wouldn't I be able to become strong enough to be counted among the soldiers and knights of the empire??

"Hmm. Next time we meet, I might not be able to win.?"

It was a provocative smile and tone, but of course I was able to respond calmly and shrug my shoulders..

"I can't lose to Zeke. If I become strong enough to cut the space before we meet next time, won't I win again??"

First of all, this guy is a hero. God told me to fight the devil, but it's only natural that he becomes stronger than me..

Since it wasn't something to be talked about seriously, I answered jokingly, and Ragnis must have been unexpected, so he quickly suppressed his laughter and answered..

"Phew. What kind of space are you cutting when you can't even use magic properly? Where did you hear that again??"

"It is a supreme state that is often heard among sword-wielding adventurers and warriors.?"

It's not a joke, it's a story we hear more often than you might think..

Of course, it's a story from the past that seems full of pure lies, saying they're all sword saints and legends from hundreds of years ago, but it's not like there aren't people who seem to be in a similar state, so I think it's a story that circulates even more often..

Well...whether I can get there is a separate story, but in fact, if I want to get revenge on the guy who is the commander of the Demon Lord's army, wouldn't it be possible to do something like that??

Then you should try to do it.

While we were making our decisions, the first person to spot us and welcome us when we arrived at the gate where many students and crowds were gathered was, surprisingly, Ethenera..

"Howdy! kingdom knight!"

And surprisingly, he welcomed me with the same attitude. I really like that friendly attitude..

"This time I see you in one day, Ethenera.."

"ha ha ha! I know! I heard you won't be participating this time? Too bad! This time I wanted to show my skills.!"

If she wasn't arm in arm with Ragnis, Ethenera greeted me with such a cheerful attitude that she would have patted me on the back. The tension seemed to be higher than usual..

"In the first place, he was the party leader during the field trip, but you don't have to look at it to know that Ethenera's skills are formidable, right??"

"I don't know what to do with this because they treat it with such an open mind. Still, seeing it with your own eyes is the best. Even if it's just from the audience, please watch this performance carefully.."

Looking at him walking among the students with a cheerful smile, I can't even imagine how hard-working Zeke has been. Isn't it true that he behaves like a dog to the point where even a person who has maxed out friendliness is viewed as undesirable?.

As it happened to catch our eye, we took some time to talk about Ragnis and Ethenera while heading to the designated location, and soon the ceremony began to proceed similarly to yesterday..

But there was one difference from yesterday..

"Today's event, unlike yesterday's, is an event where only the warriors and academy cadets can show their achievements, and as the first child of the great 13th emperor Pan Krasi Vistim Tell Noir, who rules the empire, he will rule the people by his side according to his majesty's will. The white star of the empire that works hard to There will be a congratulatory speech from the 1st Princess Esmuet Bistim Tell Noir.."

After Professor Wade's short speech, there was a time for Esmueh's speech..

"hmm. What needs to be said? It's a woman."

And, starting with a self-introduction that could only be described as truly amazing, a very formal-looking congratulatory speech followed..

Honestly, I don't think I even heard half of it properly because I was so lost in the flood of rhetoric..

"Then I will open the gate.."

Anyway, as if it was over, the gate was activated according to her hand gesture. When the gate behind her began to operate with a similar flow of magic as when we came to the Empire, I naturally got goosebumps..

Maybe it's because the amount of magic power is different, but my body reacts on its own without me being conscious of it..

"While the students participating in the group exhibition, led by the warrior, move first and prepare, the audience, starting with Princess Esmue, will move.."

Naturally, the students begin to move following the words of Professor Wade, who took over the speaking role from the princess. Although there are quite a few students, it seems to be a surprisingly small gate as I see them moving one by one..

"I'm quite curious as to where it's hidden and why it's even used as a gate.?"

"That's right. Did you put it in the sky??"

It was boring to just wait, so I continued chatting with Ragnis, when the students' movement was over and the audience's movement began following Wade's short declaration..

A slight feeling of dizziness overtook me..

"Wow...!"

"Eldmia?"

It's not just goosebumps, but it feels like my whole body is wrapped in fabric..

A sight that covers your vision with indescribable colors..

The sensation of being forcibly lifted by the magical energy of the entire body..

It was the feeling I had when I passed through the demon gate opened by a wizard who was treated as a demon worshiper in an abandoned dungeon..
