Chapter 627
Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga Chapter 627
After completing all the explanations, the merchant invited me to go to the Empire instead of going back.
No matter how much it was, I wasn’t even ready, but suddenly I went to the empire, and the fucking memory of being involved in the Oak Gate incident and flying to the west without wanting to crawl.
“I don’t have any other important schedules, but I’m not ready for the trip…” ”
Everything you need for the journey will be provided by the Empire, so you don’t have to prepare anything. If you agree, the first princess will treat you with utmost hospitality. It was your name.”
“Ah… the princess…”
It’s ‘if you agree’ because she likes to say it, isn’t it actually just asking her to come? Maybe the purpose was simply to be considerate of me, but I’m not sure because the other person is Esmuye.
But it’s been a long time since I haven’t seen your face, so if I can meet you on this occasion, it would be nice to meet you. Thinking of that, I was about to answer, but the merchant, who had been watching me worrying, opened his mouth first.
“You don’t have to worry about the by-products of the dragon at all. After departing with Sir Ega, we will have people safely transport them to the Empire.”
The reason was that it would be calculated with Imperial gold coins, so it was most accurate to set the price in the Empire. In fact, since it was the capital of an empire that could be said to have the most infrastructure concentrated on the continent, it wasn’t exactly wrong. It is also reliable in terms of security, as it is said that it will be strictly stored in the storage of the imperial palace to prevent theft until it is properly formulated.
“Then I will act as you say. The war is not over, so the more time you save, the better.”
“It’s a wise decision.”
While the merchant with a satisfied smile went out to prepare the wagon, he called Tie, who was actually in charge of the mansion, and briefly explained the situation.
“It’s very sudden, but considering the time, it’s the right choice. Then can I stay at the mansion after supervising the imperials to move the by-products properly?”
“Yeah. And while I’m gone, if anyone comes to visit, I’ll ask you to explain the situation.”
“All right.”
It was fortunate that he hadn’t said that he would accompany him or attach an attendant. Leaving behind her, who started moving quickly for later work, I came out of the mansion. The carriage the merchant had been riding in was nowhere to be found.
“I heard that you prefer to be inconspicuous, so this is a specially prepared carriage. How is it?”
“Very… I like it.”
Just in case, I opened the door and gave an appropriate answer to the merchant who interpreted my reaction to check the interior in a different way, and when I climbed into the carriage, the door was closed as it was. Wanting something, I looked at the merchant through the window, and he understood my question with just my expression and answered quickly.
“There are things that need to be handled separately to attend Lord Ega. Not only have all the instructions already been completed, but another person will serve Lord Ega when you arrive in the empire, so I hope you enjoy your trip with peace of mind.”
Whatever the case may be, the merchant explained that since I was from Ethiel, I would have to give a separate word to the royal family to take me. Well, if there is no such procedure, it is a natural procedure because it is possible to recruit talented people without even knowing the mouse or bird. After nodding moderately this time, the carriage departed according to the signal from the merchant.
There was nothing I would be uncomfortable with anyway, so I decided to lie down comfortably while monopolizing the wide carriage. If it was a cheap carriage, the space was small, the cushions were not good, and there was no suspension, so I would have been better off sitting down.
It wasn’t even boring at all. It’s because Este, who had been quietly silent until now, started to appeal to herself, aiming for an opportunity.
[master. Since I’ve been helping the owner diligently, I think I deserve a new gift of at least a sheath.]
In fact, it was an easy request, so there was no need to prove one’s usefulness. Anyway, it was perfect for killing time, so I decided to listen to Este’s desire for the scabbard, and thanks to that, by the time I got to the gate to the empire, I found out anew that he regards the scabbard as his home.
It was an esthetic that seemed to have triggered the mesgaki mode for the first time in a long time, such as making the scabbard by carving bone and luxuriously trimming dragon skin on the outside, but there were so many things I was able to overcome thanks to him, so I decided to do everything. It’s not something I make anyway, the dwarves will take care of it.
“I’d rather ask them to wipe the sword with perfume, you crazy.”
[That’s a crazy act.]
“Is it the same as what you asked for?”
However, no matter how much it was, it was a request that went beyond the line, so I refused.
It must be the fate of the ego sword to say crazy things without hesitation.
◈
Time passed faster than I thought just by exchanging nonsense with the esthetic while entrusting my body to the vibration of the moving carriage, neither fast nor slow.
I don’t know if the coachman has good skill or luck, but after a couple of repetitions of closing my eyes at the familiar yet unwilling sensation in the carriage that moved steadily without stopping once, I realized that I had just passed through the gate and arrived at the empire. could notice
“When am I going to get used to the gate…”
I wondered if it would be okay if I didn’t see it, but after the sense of fluff that had been bristling due to magical power became even sharper due to dragon blood, the feeling of rejection was even worse. It seems that the cause is that he sensitively captures even the subtle sense of difference that arises from jumping over space. Even lying down feels like motion sickness.
In the end, I couldn’t stand it and I quietly got up from my seat and pulled the curtains, and even though I had only seen it once, a familiar sight unfolded.
Buildings built in a different style from the kingdom, different types of armor, and a lively atmosphere far from war. I didn’t remember all the buildings around me, so I couldn’t tell how much the streets had changed, but the overall feeling was still the same as the capital of the empire.
“I never thought I’d make a return visit like this.”
There was no particular gaze on the carriage, so I opened the window and let the wind blow. Unlike Itis-L, which felt warm to a certain extent, Empire still seemed to have an air of cold air, but I got used to it quickly after a while.
In the meantime, the carriage still moves steadily without stopping. Seeing that no one came to meet him like last time, it seems that the person who will replace the merchant will meet at the inn.
[It’s very peaceful here.]
“Because it’s a place far away from the demons. Even within Ethiel, the atmosphere changes quite quickly depending on the distance, so it’s no wonder here.”
[Huh…]
I explained it to Este as if it was natural, but even I, who had already experienced the empire, was thinking the same thing as him.
It touches me even more because I went through a war even for a short time and crossed the demon tribe. Overall, even the capital of Isthel, which seems to have no problems, is unknowingly depressed, while the empire is really at the level of enjoying peace in a different world.
Even though he mobilized his own warriors and entered the war in earnest, he would never have thought this would happen.
“It’s an atmosphere that’s possible because there’s no doubt about the victory of the empire.”
As I watched the sight and focused on the rolling sound of the wagon wheels, I suddenly wondered how I would have lived in the world before the return of the demon king.
It was because of the holy relic that our village was massacred, so wouldn’t it have lived well in the time when it was not known? It’s not that I didn’t like learning this and that under my parents, but I was eager to go on an adventure in a fantasy world, so I might have decided to become an adventurer.
“…Then Ragnis might not have been able to reclaim the territory.”
The fact that Ragnis was kidnapped by Delt and escaped from Envelde’s clutches was the result of me, after all. Then, would you have lived among the vagabonds led by that alley boss? Looking back on what Envelde did, it seems like he must have found a trace and brought it back.
[What are you thinking all of a sudden?]
“I’m thinking about how much change would have happened if I had lived a life like those people who didn’t know anything about war.”
[Ugh, why are you thinking such terrible thoughts.]
“Terrible? Why?”
I thought he would react to something, but I didn’t expect him to be this disgusted, so I burst into laughter and asked, Este replied in a tone full of absurdity, as if she didn’t know why an answer was needed for this obvious fact.
[If there is no owner, there is no me, right? If it’s not terrible, what’s terrible.]
“…Huh, that’s right.”
Este would not have been born at all, Ragnis’ life would have been very harsh, and it is unknown what outcome Asili would have faced, and Laika would have been sealed or destroyed while working as a demonic sword.
Sheryl… Well, it would have been all she could do to stay a little more relaxed, but Esmuye would have been kidnapped, and Siegfried might have been shaken by the savage Korean that the phantom wizard he met on the battlefield tried.
Saint Belessica of the Holy Light Cross, who was being chased by demon worshipers, would have been sacrificed to Ingladio, and all other party members, including Kikuidel Shen, who tried to protect her, would have died. Soon after, Ingladio might have started rampaging, Envelde might have rebelled, and in the basement of the academy, the evil demon Crumelia might have risen and become abusive.
“You’re right. It was a fucking terrible idea.”
[Is that so? So stop thinking about that and think about how to decorate my scabbard.]
I smiled once listening to Este’s genuinely angry grumble, and I decided to pass on it even if more materials were used for Este’s scabbard.
Thanks to that, the feeling of being a little depressed has been blown away, so I can do that much.
[Putting jewels that go well with leather on one side…]
“Rather than carrying something like that, I’d rather just go without a scabbard.”
minus the crazy sounds.
