Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Siegfried thinks. He said he belongs to a pretty good warrior.

If Eldmia had heard of it, she might have thought it was the confidence to see with the axe eyes open, but surprisingly, this was a very objective evaluation and one that belonged to the humble axis.

Even during the stormy period when he awakened as a hero and entered the bosom of the imperial family, he had worked as hard as ‘a hero’s work’.

Even though it was a battle designed, predicted, and prepared by the talented people of the empire from one to ten to grow him, Siegfried did not show condescension while doing those things, nor was he absorbed in himself. Thanks to this, even within the Empire, there were very few people who admitted that he had flaws in his temper, but tried to deny the fact that he was a hero.

It would be a lie if I said that I did not have as much pride as a grain of rice in such public opinion.

It was also the driving force for Siegfried to act as a warrior without any complaints about the goddess who beat him without prior consent in this world. It is unfair that he became a hero and fell into this world, but as we saw in the novel, if all kinds of power and the world condemn him, wouldn’t he be innocent even if he became the devil instead of a hero?

There is nothing wrong with growing up relatively smoothly under the care of the Empire. Rather, it is safe and good. Siegfried had been thinking that way from the bottom of his heart.

“Until Eldmia catches the dragon?”
“That’s right!”

There is no displeasure on Siegfried’s face as he discusses the uncomfortable pressure he’s been feeling lately, omitting the story of his past life, but his nervousness is clearly contained.

“I also worked really hard after becoming a hero and knowing more clearly what kind of authority I received? Ah, this is also thanks to hyung, but anyway. throw it away?”

The night, less than a day after the Imperial warrior party and Eldmia search operation.

Cheryl’s eyes, which she had never imagined would be sitting around a campfire and listening to Siegfried’s lamentation, eagerly wandered in the air.

To be honest, it is true that a strange consensus is formed. It’s a little different from the hero, but she was also a genius who was said to be the best in the kingdom.

There was a time when she thought she was ahead of everyone else and could move faster, so Cheryl could best understand the embarrassment of being in the dark waiting for something out of the ordinary to nibble on jerky on the road she thought was leading. I was a person who could.

But understanding and friendship are two different things.

It’s not that we haven’t seen each other often, and at most, the longest meeting was when we faced the Great Devil in the basement of the academy. If it had been to reveal nasty feelings such as envy and jealousy to Eldmia, he would have hit a warrior or something from the back of the head and left alone… “I don’t even know what to make fun of later, but a lich

. That might be a demilich? ”

Siegfried’s nervousness was not of that type. He was worried, simply astonishingly, that Eldmia would make fun of him for not slaying the dragon.

No matter how many eccentricities Eldmia said, I thought that some crazy person in the world would make fun of people for not catching a dragon, but Siegfried’s reaction was so sincere that I couldn’t even refute such a simple refutation.

Even so, Siegfried’s story was stopped only after Princess Esselua intervened to help Cheryl, who couldn’t react properly in a situation where it was ambiguous to say anything else.

“Zeke, you’re clearly a noble from a foreign country and we haven’t talked much about it yet, so you’ll feel awkward if you don’t distance yourself like that.”
“Ah, is that so? Sorry, since you say you’re close with hyung, my inner intimacy has increased without my knowledge.”

There is no malice in the appearance of an immediate apology. Sherrill herself didn’t want to be formal in a place like this anyway, so she carefully raised the topic while expressing her gratitude quietly for Eselua’s consideration.

“It’s okay. I’m not very talkative, so I was just a little hesitant. But… didn’t you call Eldmia your sister last time?”

The topic he brought up while carefully recalling his memories at the academy unexpectedly attracted the attention of three other women, except for Siegfried. I know that she is Siegfried’s lover, but don’t they know that too? It was a lightly asked question because I wondered if he just caught a dragon and started serving him as an older brother.

“That’s right. After receiving Eldmia-sama’s help in the last battle, did you suddenly become that uncharacteristic of Siegfried?”
“To not be like that… That, what are you talking about? Entire was helped when he was injured, and since then he has been constantly receiving advice on this and that…” “That’s a lie.
”
“You’re using your last name even in a conversation like this?!”

Unlike Siegfried, who was greatly taken aback, the others laughed brightly at Siegfried’s reaction. Sensing the bond they had built up from their natural reactions, as if it were a daily routine, Cheryl smiled bitterly and sipped the hot tea.

Eldmia also became a hero, so there was a time when I wondered if the day would come when I could work like this with him if I worked hard. In fact, since I received a good evaluation through the last academy incident and was given the opportunity to join the warrior party, even temporarily, I thought the possibility was sufficient.

However, after hearing the story of Eldmia’s slaying the dragon, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I might have been misunderstanding alone.

It’s not like Ragnis holds the power. It’s not like Asilie did, and they didn’t build a bond through childhood together. The name Ogatorp is not absolutely necessary for Eldmia, and swordsmanship has never surpassed it before, but now it is getting further and further away.

In just a few years, too much has changed. It was a fact that I already knew, but I didn’t know that I would realize it again when I saw that even the hero in front of me felt impatience.

“Why are you making such a gloomy face?”

It was the elf warrior Entire who awakened Cheryl’s consciousness, who had been silently staring at the bonfire while lost in such thoughts. At the question of the elf looking at her, leaving behind Siegfried, who was being interrogated between Eselua and Saint Tennea, Cheryl unwittingly asked back.

“Did you look depressed?”
“Yes. Ah, it’s not particularly obvious. Long-lived elves tend to have less emotional changes. As a result, they are naturally sensitive to subtle changes.”

Still, perhaps because they briefly stood shoulder to shoulder in the basement of the academy, Entire naturally closed the distance. Her eyes are still fixed on Siegfried, but her ears perk up as she waits for Cheryl’s answer.

Understanding that those were not empty words of indifference, but her own consideration, Cheryl thought for a while before opening her mouth cautiously.

“Suddenly everything felt so far away.”
“Everything?”
“Yes. The hero, everyone, and… Eldmia too.”

In fact, he only cared about Eldmia, but saying that was embarrassing, so he added a hint.

“It’s embarrassing, but even now in the kingdom, he is praised as a genius and is called one of the talented people who lead the kingdom. Being able to come out on a battlefield like this without an escort is purely due to my skills, so it’s enough to say with confidence.”

Having already seen Cheryl’s swordsmanship at the academy, Entire silently tilted her head at Cheryl’s self-evaluation. It was because he thought it was too timid to say that it was a sound that would come from the mouth of the Sogaju of the Ogatorv family, which is also called the symbol of swordsmanship in the kingdom of Itthiel.

I don’t know who was involved, but Cheryl wasn’t able to temporarily join the party just because she said a few words. The Empire doesn’t handle things related to warriors so easily. After the atrocities committed by the madman from Rudra in the past at the academy, it was Cheryl who went through an even stricter screening and verification and was judged to be ‘no problem’.

Since she had no taste for roundabout things from the beginning and was an Entire who had to ram into anything herself, she turned her head to ask Cheryl directly about the reason for the undervaluation. And as soon as I saw Cheryl, I could predict the answer without knowing it.

“Is it because of the dragon?”
“…How did you know?”
“The reaction was similar to when I did it.”

can’t you know he did too Entire at the time felt exactly like Cheryl now.

Assuming a fight over the existence of a dragon, who wouldn’t be in a dark place, but among them, the most frustrating would be a warrior.

Leaving everything aside, there is simply no answer from the physical size. Even if you hold the shield, it is smaller than a dragon’s scales, and it is nothing compared to the black dragon’s claws. Let alone magic, he would have to wander between death and death just by getting hit by the wrong tail.

No matter how corrupted and degraded the dragon Eldmia had been, it still grew to that size. It would have been better if it was a sword master or a much older and more skilled warrior, but of course they are similar in age, so ‘because they are warriors.’ It is difficult to cover up the psychological shock with just one word.

“You wanted to fight by Eldmia-sama’s side, right?”

It’s too close for that.

Because I wanted to stand by your side on an equal footing and be with you.
