Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 191

After a while, I fell into a deep sleep and had a dream.

The dream of returning to their hometown to see their families after a long time together with them as a commemoration of safely overcoming the threat of life and protecting their colleagues. And the dream of grandiosely introducing a lifesaver in a grand party of welcomed families. At first, the nobleman, who showed a cold reaction with ferocious eyes, smiled at the family’s consideration and forgave his mistake…

“Hey. Pulling. Open your eyes.”

…sweet dreams.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Sen opened his eyes and the first thing Sen noticed was Merdella sitting next to him. And after confirming that she was sleeping without any problems, I was able to answer with a sigh of relief.

“Is it a shift?”

Feeling the presence of people moving towards the bonfire without answering, Sen stood up and slowly left the tent, packing the equipment he had placed in the corner of the tent. And I couldn’t help but tilt my head while trying to see off the nobleman who was going to return to the tent after the vigil.

“Do you have anything to say?”

Instead of going to his tent, the nobleman who was sitting by the campfire quietly beckoned, as if it was only natural. Sitting on a log that he had appropriately obtained nearby, holding Merdella’s staff in one hand, his expression was so calm that he did not feel particularly anxious.

Still, maybe he had a change of heart and wanted to talk? As Sen approached excitedly in anticipation that the dream might have been a kind of precognitive dream, a creepy word came out of the nobleman’s mouth.

“I’m going to Eldmia.”

“Hehe!”

The reason she didn’t scream “emergency” or run away without looking back was because she quickly checked his expression with a small animal sense. Even in the midst of amazement, the man’s face, which he accurately identified, showed only doubt without any hostility.

It was just a simple self-introduction. After belatedly understanding Sen’s reaction, he continued.

“…No, I don’t mean that.”

“I’m sorry.”

At most, when the opportunity came, Sen was anxious that he might have offended him, but he just shook his head. Rather, it was a reaction that seemed strangely satisfied with Sen’s reaction.

“Nothing to apologize for. I’m just talking about it hoping that there will be a reaction like that. That’s not what’s important. You’re Kikuidel Sen, and the sorceress is Merdella. What are the names of the other two?”

Even if he didn’t want to use his full name, did he think it would be good to know the name at least? Whatever it was, it was a good sign, so Sen responded immediately with a bright color.

“The friend holding the crossbow is called Cals. The one wearing armor like a piece of iron is Bai Ze.”

“What about the kids?”

“The boy’s name is Snowal, and the girl’s name is Bellesica. I haven’t heard her last name.”

After repeating the name several times to remember it, Eldmia nodded and threw her staff at Sen.

What kind of change of heart did he have while staying vigil! I don’t know what it is, but I thought it was a really good sign, so I forcibly grabbed the corner of her mouth as she was about to smile, and the words came out of his mouth.

“The tail is attached again. Wake up quietly so there is no commotion. Naturally. Just like it was meant to happen now.”

?

It was thanks to the grace of the Spirit that I was able to notice even though the enemies were far away.

In the midst of wondering if there was anything I could do since I couldn’t do crazy trolling playing a music box in the middle of the night, a rare strong touch came and it was the first time in a while that proper communication was possible.

That said, it wasn’t like a conversation, but it felt like reading each other’s thoughts, so I wasn’t very familiar with it, but since most of my spirit communication is based on a lack of communication, I’m sensitive to this level. When I was happily reporting on the current situation for a long time, an unknown discomfort permeated and a completely different landscape unfolded before my eyes.

More than 20 assailants riding horses and running. As soon as I saw those who were identical to the cultists I had cut down, I woke them up first instead of asking the Spirit back.

“…So, the spirit showed it?”

“huh.”

“…Ummm. I think I’ll need to meet the Elementalist sometime later. Anyway, okay. I just need to keep an eye on them, right?”

“Because there’s no problem with myself. Rather, if a few pop out, my sister may have to protect them.”

“Yes. I’ll prepare.”

Leaving behind Asilie, who tilted her head as if she was not feeling well and prepared for battle, we approached Sen and her party, who were sitting together at the bonfire and were nervous. was in a state

“Really. About twenty. If you look at the same outfit, they must be cultists. This time, it looks like a wizard or priest is with them. Something other than a torch is shining and illuminating the surroundings.”

“Damn… how far do you think it is?”

“Even if we leave quickly… I think we’ll be caught in an hour…”

“I have no interest in running away with something like that.”

It’s better to spend some magic and roll on the ground against the cavalry. With sorcerers, words become dangerous.

Fuck that expensive horse.

“Eh, Ega-sama?! You want to fight them?”

Merdela was frightened by my voice and trembled as if she had secretly done something bad. What a funny year. If you’re going to stop using magic, why would you return the wand? Still, it was fortunate that Sen had properly explained the situation and called his name. If I get flustered and say that I am a nobleman and get stabbed to death, my investment will be nullified.

“Why are you so violent as a child? Conversation comes first in everything. It’s a lesson that will become your bones and flesh in life, so listen closely.”

Looking at her age alone, she looks five years older than me, but I know something. Including my previous lives, I lived longer. Fortunately, the discerning Merdella didn’t argue with that.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. Ha, but…”

“You’ve been victimized before. There’s no problem with just about any wizard. I’d rather not be a priest.”

You need to be careful because you have no idea how divine power moves and is implemented, but magic was a separate issue. It was only then that he remembered the memory of his magic being destroyed. Ah! Unlike Merdella, who had a smile on her face, the man named Carls was still uneasy.

“How did you come after me so quickly? No, more than that? What prevented you from sacrificing two children?”

Still, he had an idea. I thought the enemy was approaching 20 again.

Anyway, everyone’s eyes, including me, who sympathized with the remark, turned to the two boys and girls, but neither of them seemed to understand what the hell was going on. I wondered if they were hiding something, but they really don’t seem to know anything.

“What are you going to do after worrying about it? It’s just a matter of grabbing it and asking why. All of you, gather here and do a good job defending yourself. Don’t burn the tent and eat it.”

“…yes?”

“What is yes? Take care of the house. I will come back.”

“Now, wait a minute! Are you going alone?”

It was Sen who was quite flustered and reacted as if he would grab me at any moment.

“why?”

“Ah, isn’t the situation different from before? You must have found the corpses of those who pursued you earlier while heading to this place. Let’s not talk, you might just run into them!”

“What are you talking about? So, I have to greet you from the front. If I try to talk and then run as you say, won’t the horse die and the tent destroyed?”

“…???”

Just looking at his face, he had an expression that he did not know what kind of accident he had to go through to come up with such an idea, but it was the same for me. Why are you doing this?

It was the aristocratic girl Belessica who resolved that question.

“Ega-sama? Don’t you feel any threat when you see them?”

“…ah.”

They were the ones who had a hard time chasing with only 10 warriors. Not only has it doubled, but it’s also mixed with other long-distance means, so it would have been a dark situation if only it had been. It seems that anxiety even distorted the reason why I called for a collective wake up.

“It’s no big deal if you’re at the level of those warriors earlier. The reason I woke everyone up was not to run away, but to prepare for the guys who would take a detour since there were only 20 of them in the end.”

“Eh…”

“Eh, really…?”

It took a lot of effort to convince those guys who looked like they didn’t understand at all, so I just shook my head, grabbed one of the cultists’ horses, put down their luggage, and got on.

“What are you going to use it for by persuading you? Is this the direction we came from?”

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

“Wait well. If you play tricks, you won’t be able to die.”

Leaving behind the guys who answered with a violent nod instead of words, I started running back across the dark plain.

I didn’t have to worry about breaking the road. It was not appropriate to block the view on the plain, so it was not difficult to recognize the fire they were lighting. I just get off my horse and walk when the light comes into my sight. Maybe if they gathered together and set up camp, but if they saw someone waiting for them on the plain alone in the middle of the night, they would usually stop talking and check. If he had identified the other person, he would pretend to know, but if he hadn’t, he would ask for words or inquire about his identity.

“…Excuse me Traveler. Have you seen other adventurers camped out with two small children around here?”

That’s right.
