Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 254

Where am I?

A temporary detention center now familiar to me as my villa.

Who am I?

Eldmia Ega is temporarily detained for overreacting to the issue of retaliation among adventurers.

Yes. This time, I wanted to take a look at the prisons in this country, but surprisingly, the place I headed to was the temporary detention center for nobles. I was embarrassed inside, but when I said hello to Messiella, who I saw for the first time in a while without revealing it, she was rather embarrassed. Of course, not only my dignified attitude but also Leica’s companions seemed to play a role, but I could tell for sure that I was so dumbfounded that it broke that poker face.

But that’s the process. Anyway, I ended up staying here again, proudly acting like my own home, taking a shower and lying down on the bed. Laika, who was excitedly looking at the room I was seeing for a while, came to lie down next to me, and I stroked the nape of his neck for about five minutes.

“This is different from the plan…?”

After that, I started worrying a little late.

Killing Dangtel and obediently following Garun to be imprisoned by the guards was within the assumption. It was also expected that the charge of overreaction could lead to a maximum of three days of imprisonment due to the investigation. But I never dreamed that I would come this way, as if it was so natural.

error? Nobility’s temporary detention center is not ‘aristocratic’ for nothing. It is a place where guilty nobles are imprisoned for the purpose of saving face, but at the same time, it is a place with a strong political smell that is also used for the purpose of blindfolding and releasing only formal procedures plausibly. Unless there is an order from above, the guards put all the criminals or suspects they caught in the temporary detention center where Ragnis was imprisoned or in the camp, but it is a story that they do not arbitrarily judge and secretly put them in the noble detention center.

After all, as soon as someone heard of the situation, they said that they put me here for now.

“There are too many people who guess…!”

Duke Lesrom? The royal judgment with Esmuer in mind? Or is it Messina princess? Did you use your hand in Mr. Weedra’s ear? Even so, the response is too quick. If the story wasn’t passed on because I already had a contact with the adventurer’s guild and the royal family, it would be a reasonable guess that someone was constantly monitoring my every move.

It wasn’t difficult to imagine that far, but in the end, my reasoning couldn’t continue because of the lack of information I had.

“I don’t know. It’s not like you’re worrying about an answer, and you should rest when you’re resting.”

As long as no one comes along, in the end, all my worries and speculations are useless. I chose to fall asleep quickly rather than fall into the delusion that I could predict everything in the world, making guesses that weren’t very accurate.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t contact Asilie in advance, but Garoon said he would take care of that part, so I decided not to worry for now. And when I put my mind at ease, I was able to fall asleep at a surprisingly rapid rate.

?

It was just about the time when the sun started to rise when I woke up because the hind feet of Laika, who I had slept with, pushed my face.

I checked the clock while putting my ugly hind legs away, and it was roughly 7 o’clock. I felt a little tired, but it was surprising if it was surprising that it was similar to my usual waking hours.

“He’s a useful guy even in the weirdest parts.”

Once a demonic sword, now a living, breathing alarm clock that doesn’t know what it’s going to be. Even if it was a deep sleep, I tried to beat the guy’s thick butt like a drum to the level that normal dogs would wake up, but all that came back was waves of fluttering fur and flesh.

Hmm… Maybe this is also a symptom of the change? I guess I’ll have to tell Seneran later.

Anyway, I didn’t feel like doing something just because I opened my eyes right away, so I was tapping Laika’s butt in the right rhythm and thinking about what to do, when I heard a knock.

– Mr. Eldmia. Did you cough?

“Yes. Mr. Messiela. I just woke up anyway.”

It’s too early for nobles to open their eyes, so what’s going on? The last time I stayed, I was puzzled by the early visit, which I had never experienced before, and when I answered, a calm answer came back.

– Someone who wants to see Eldmia has visited. What should I do?

“…At this hour? Who is it?”

-If I say Luceric, you’ll know…

…what is it? I don’t know at all Still, if you said that, you must have been very confident, but how could you not remember it?

Messiella added a four foot while he was grunting and pondering that he could give the dog side to the other party who was confident after he hastily replied that he did not know.

– He didn’t seem to be an aristocrat, but he was a man with good manners.

I remembered. Luceric, the direct agent of the Duke of Lesrom.

“…Thanks to that, I remembered. I’ll be down soon. I’m sorry you’re having a hard time starting early in the morning, but may I ask for some tea?”

– I will prepare.

I hurriedly got out of bed and changed my clothes, listening to Messiela’s footsteps receding at the end of my short answer. Even though I was admitted late yesterday, I applauded Messiella’s excellent work ability while wearing my clothes that were neatly ironed and hanging, as if it was magic, and in the meantime, I tapped Laika’s butt once more, who was still sleeping without knowing the world. Came down to the first floor.

I left the door open, so when you wake up, you’ll come out on your own.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Eldmia.”

“It’s been a while, Lucerik. How have you been?”

“Thanks to you, I’m doing well. Since the Envelde incident, the inside of the aristocrat has become very quiet.”

hmm. I was prepared to say that I was not doing well because of me, but I don’t know if it was empty or serious, but the answer came back quite positive.

“Some things have become easier thanks to the performance you showed at Englem this time. As you know, we need a cause to move, so it was a problem that would take a little longer.”

I guess I was serious. After a brief exchange of regards, Lucerik waited for Messiella while leisurely looking at the interior without showing any signs of rushing. And after accepting the teacup from Messiela, who had prepared tea in an instant, and taking a sip, he began to speak in earnest. He is definitely a person whose etiquette is inscribed in his body.

“Is it okay if I start by explaining why I met you early in the morning despite my rudeness?”

Rather, he wanted an explanation, so as he nodded his head appropriately and took another sip of strong black tea, Luceric continued his story with a smile.

“Thank you. Actually, the reason we met so early was mainly because we were busy with our work today, so it was hard to find time for ourselves. However, this is to sort out the unfortunate incident that happened yesterday, so please understand.”

“…You’re sorting out the affairs of the adventurers at the noble house?”

“Yes. Eldmia-sama has yet to receive a medal to praise her achievements in Englem. This time, as the person who proposed and negotiated the reward for Eldmia was His Excellency, until the medal is awarded, it is under the protection of the nobles. It’s safe to say that there is.”

decoration? It’s a completely unheard of story. Even receiving the money and the house has already been completed in the form of delivery through the spokesperson rather than an official position due to the Duke of Lesrom’s care, and now there is no chin to receive the medal left to receive

. None at all. Because the old man knew that I would be bothered by such a position, and after cutting it all, he handed over only the material.

“Don’t you leave a document like that? I think it’s an official document forgery.”

In other words, it is said that it is a lie that was forced to be brought in for my defense. As if he hadn’t expected me to guess that far, Luceric widened his eyes for a moment.

“I was honestly dubious when His Excellency said he would understand, but that is an accurate insight. But, as you know, Your Excellency doesn’t work alone.”

Judging from the vague expression of the royal family’s permission and cooperation, it seems that Luceric is also aware of the relationship between Duke Lesrom and the royal family. It’s just that I’m not a direct agent. Thanks to that, my doubts were cleared to some extent, and I nodded my head slightly.

“But how did you move so quickly?

“Recently, the adventurer’s guild leader was helping the royal family to catch the clue of the treason. Since they were sharing information about Eldmia-sama in many ways, I was able to use my hands right away.”

Hmmm. If it’s obvious, it’s obvious, but it’s surprising. Maybe even the first request I took on with Gaendal Party was part of that activity.

“Anyway, for those reasons, Eldmia-sama should be able to leave here tomorrow.

“I thought I would be detained for three more days if I couldn’t do it, but I’m just grateful.”

“Well, as usual, His Excellency said that if Eldmia-sama expresses his gratitude, he would ask for one favor…”

He was a real old man like a serpent. What and how far are you looking? When I urged what he was talking about with just his eyes, Luceric shrugged and said, bringing the teacup to his mouth.

“Because he was bored, he asked me to visit him.

“…I see.”

Yeah, I wanted to say thank you anyway, so that’s fine. I sighed briefly and drank the tea.
