Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 223

The atmosphere inside Englem was definitely not good.

Just the moment we enter the city, eyes filled with wonder and hostility pour out.

“What the hell happened to this shit?”

Sen, who was looking at those eyes one by one and grasping the situation, asked Kunz without hesitation, but he smiled as if he was embarrassed and showed the way he chose his words.

The guard said that there had been a big accident, but I didn’t think that such a cold reaction would spread throughout the city, so I began to use my brain to guess the events that would come out of his mouth.

That being said, there was nothing particularly outrageous about it. In the first place, the security of this country wasn’t that far-fetched, so there are not even a handful of cases of bandits entering the city.

However, even the contents that came out after such deduction and deduction were quite shocking news to us.

“To put it in a nutshell… bandits have teamed up with some adventurers to loot and murder the city.”

“Fuck.”

Heh, he even curses at me. I’m so mad I can’t even speak.

The thugs were openly murdering and plundering in the city? This isn’t about having a big accident, it’s about wrapping up the greatest events ever.

“It’s an incident that makes me feel very strange that the guards cooperate with the adventurer’s guild.”

Mr. Gaendal’s words seemed to have penetrated Kunz’s heart quite sharply, and the smile on his face shook slightly.

Right now, I can see that it is the guard’s fault and the adventurer’s guild’s fault, and even if the World’s Most Blame Contest is held, it is not enough. The situation is only slightly different depending on the form of ‘holding hands with an adventurer’ that Kunz said, but it would not be easy for the two groups to get along.

“It’s a bit delicate situation to call it cooperation…”

Kunz said only that and kept his mouth shut. Rather than asking more questions, we also decided to focus on looking around and being careful not to get stoned.

I was at a level where I had to die with my nose on a plate the moment I was hit by such a blind stone anyway, so I tried to pay attention to the other side.

The adventurer’s guild arrived, paying more attention not only to the eyes of the residents looking at us, but also to the eyes and actions of the city patrols and guards.

“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen this without people.”

Carls, who usually doesn’t speak first, opened his mouth first. Kunz only showed a bitter smile this time.

“The stable is prepared separately, so we’ll move it. As you can see… it’s secluded.”

The sight of the adventurer’s guild in a city so large that even the stables were empty, as if they were on holiday, was an impressive sight in many ways. Seneran asked as he entrusted the horses to the stable manager who approached at Kunz’s gesture.

“It’s not like there aren’t any adventurers in the city, right?”

“They’re buying themselves where they don’t reject them. Only the innkeepers and brewers are the only ones who can walk around with a big smile in the city right now.”

Huh, can we get our lodging? Maybe I should have listened quietly when the guard tried to tell me?

Looking at Sen with disbelief, to her surprise, everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.

“Oh no! Trust me! I’m Kikuidel Sen! I’m a native here!”

Even so, it was Kunz who grabbed Sen, who was ready to rush out and search for an inn with an empty room.

“Haha, you don’t have to worry too much. Not everyone was left in the city in this situation. There are quite a few people who want to leave the city until the situation is sorted out.”

I heard that they are focusing on internal searches without bringing in adventurers, so I thought they were trying to find out that the main suspect in the case still remains in the city, but they are letting them go out of the city? I wondered what kind of nonsense this was, so I tilted my head and looked back, and most of them were busy exchanging suspicious glances to see if they were thinking the same thing as me.

In the meantime, Asilie quietly raised her index finger and covered her mouth.

Shh.

Hmmm. then you should be quiet

I continued my conversation with Kunz, leaving behind Asilie, who was twitching her ears.

“That’s good, then. I’m thinking of selling most of the things I just carried on the horse anyway, so will there be any problems with us going out alone?”

It’s not a problem just to come in right away, so the adventurers staying in the city probably don’t want to leave the inn. Unsurprisingly, Kunz spoke at a level that could be said to be an almost immediate answer.

“Honestly… it’s going to be a bit of a hassle. As I said earlier, the incident that happened this time was murder and looting. We can provide you with a guild mark to prove that your loot came from outside, but we can’t guarantee the source of the loot. There is no situation.”

If we plundered normal adventurers or private houses from outside and brought in stolen goods, the guild could suffer enormous damage the moment they gave a guarantee that they were intact spoils, so it was a very natural thing to do.

Normally, this wouldn’t have been a problem, but they probably thought there was a high possibility that the merchants who had animosity would annoy us whether they slammed the price or reported it, so they gave us a warning. It remains to be seen whether that is really antipathy stemming from bad feelings or an act to maximize profits.

However, Sen, who heard the story, showed a confident look and boasted to me.

“Well, we’ll do something about it, Eldmia-sama! Ah, Kunz! I want to see our request first. Can you arrange a seat for me?”

“Of course Sen-sama. Are Eldmia-sama and the others moving together?”

“No. It’s a matter we dealt with. There’s no need to go in together.”

Then let’s see some of our business! Gaendal, who watched Sen and her party, who showed an exaggeratedly lively attitude, disappear to the second floor along with Kunz, opened his mouth slowly.

“I think it would be good to have a chat while Miss Sen made space for you. What do you think?”

No one responded by asking what they were talking about. It was Rellie who first broke the brief silence for worrying.

“Even if you think in order, it’s not just one or two. What should we talk about first? Incident?”

“It’s definitely a big stem, but it doesn’t seem like we need to worry about it right now. Eldmia, what do you think?”

“I agree with Gin. There is no reason for us to intervene.

It wasn’t commissioned and it wasn’t tied. We are just street hands who can stop selling goods, take a break, and leave.

“Then, what about the confrontation between the city and the guild? Is this similar?”

“I don’t think it matters which side has the initiative. After all, what we care about is the guards. In fact, it’s best if we can leave this place because the loot is finished before we even care.”

Seneran answered Ekatrina’s question immediately, but we all agreed with her answer, nodding as if we had promised. Following that nod, Asilie, who had stopped twitching her ears, raised her hand slightly as if to gain the right to speak and opened her mouth.

“I think what we need to be most concerned about and careful about is the direction of the ‘incident’.”

The topic Asilie brought up was a question we had shared silently earlier.

“When I heard that they were blocking entry, I assumed that the attackers were still hiding inside and that they were in the process of finding the culprit after a lockdown order.”

This time, everyone nodded as if they had promised. I did too. Until I heard Kunz’s words.

“But that Kunz friend said that he wouldn’t stop me from going out.”

Mr. Gin, who always stroked his beard and opened his mouth, continued talking after a brief pause.

“It seems to me that they have already figured out who and where the culprit is, or have the suspects lined up perfectly.”

“Or… maybe you knew from the beginning.”

Everyone agreed this time, including the Sajok added by Gaendal.

“Am I not catching it or am I not catching it?”

Seneran murmured softly. It’s a pretty serious difference, but it’s the same damn thing either way.

“It’s sad, but whatever it is, it doesn’t do us much good.”

Rellie, who correctly caught that point, frowned and said.

If you don’t catch it, it can be said that one of the two groups has a relationship with the assailant pups and is looking after the back boat.

If they fail to catch it, it can be said that the two groups are incompetent and not only failed to prevent this incident, but also failed to solve it.

If it’s the former, he’ll be fucking to get his partner out safely, and if it’s the latter, he’ll be looking for ways and means to deal with them somehow. Or it could have split into those who don’t catch and those who can’t catch, and both situations could be happening at the same time.

In such a situation, adventurers who entered the city by all means, even selling out guild leaders in other cities… It

seemed very likely that no matter who had what purpose, they would consider it good to use them as their dicks.

Not wanting to get involved in such a fucking situation, I insisted in a firm tone.

“When Sen comes down, we first catch the lodging, then dispose of the loot as quickly as possible and bounce off.”

Fortunately, no one wanted to take the lead in this troublesome business.

We waited for Sen to return, taking great comfort in the fact that there were half a dozen like us in this chaotic city.
