Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 381

Despite having ventured into the adventure industry without fear like other upstarts, Balus was a pretty decent talent who established himself very quickly. Although it was a downside to see people imitating Eldmia like that, they would bubble up.

Still, there are quite a few people who think that they have a strong sense of justice in that they do not forgive cheaters, but… There are more than 20 cheaters identified in the guild, and there are only seven cheaters sitting there. There were quite a few opinions that it might be more appropriate.

Of course, leaving all that aside, Balus’ actions were justified. Even in the guild, no one was dissatisfied with his actions. On the contrary, I tend to cheer them on enough to subtly give them a cheap potion after a fight.

In a way, the guild should directly step in and sanction such fraudulent acts, but it was a perfect situation to give the impression that they were doing it moderately by putting adventurers at the forefront, but they did not neglect them because they liked the guild.

In the first place, when Eldmia disappeared and people like that appeared, the guild was the first to diligently apply sanctions and block them. No matter how trash they were doing, it was natural for the guild to have people who had to use them die doing stupid things without fear, even from the guild’s perspective.

It was the same logic as preventing people from crossing continents in winter. It was because adventurers were able to handle tasks of a certain level or higher even if their personality was flawed.

At least there was a possibility that it would be safe to move around the city in winter, but if the Eldmia impersonator was discovered, there was a high probability that he would become an idiot or die. The guild even sprinkled rewards on those who deliberately reported on the impersonators, and put pressure on their criminal activities very hard.

However, sanctions were only possible when the witnesses were certain or when the victim appeared with evidence. The capital was wide and the guild was narrow. There was no way to catch them all, even sneaking around outside secretly.

That said, there is no evidence, but if sanctions are applied for impersonating criminals simply for carrying a sword and dragging a dog, a situation arises where unusual people such as beast trainers cannot even set foot. They are really just hunters with dogs, but they can be innocently reported and harmed.

As a result, no matter how obvious the intentions of those gathered in front of the bulletin board right now are, the guild has no choice but to accept their poor excuse that they are nothing more than dog owners who have suddenly increased.

It was only natural that the guild receptionists gave good evaluations of Balus, who voluntarily played a role in suppressing them a little by arguing every day with those who were acting proudly by using expedients even if they wanted to get rid of them because they were ugly.

In fact, Balus’ actions could have been poisonous to himself. Among those who are active in the capital, there are only a handful of suicide hopefuls impersonating Eldmia, so most of the impersonators were outsiders who came to the capital through Oak Gate and heard rumors of Eldmia and thought it was good to use them. As you can see, they were more experienced adventurers than Balus.

Of course, there are more cases of being beaten than losing. Nevertheless, when Balus still saw the fake Eldmia, he started a match and rushed at it. In fact, there were not a few kids who gave up imitating because of that balus, but…

“Haa, that crazy bastard really. Prepare yourself not to wake up all week.”

…Most of the humans now gathered weren’t like that.

An adventurer who was dragging a hunting dog that seemed to have a bad temper at first glance approached Balus, loosening its joints. It looked completely different, but it was a con artist who was on the side of matching the assortment and having some skills. As soon as the distance narrowed, the two men stretched out their fists without saying who said first.

“Heuk!”

Unfortunately, it was Balus who was hit. Even though he was a swindler, the man was a mid-level adventurer.

“I! I’m called Eldmia! Why! You! What the fuck! This! You bitch!”

The ballus staggers every time the attack of the impostor, who is in good form, enters heavily, probably because he punched in the back alley. There were adventurers who tried to stop this, but other adventurers stopped them.

It wasn’t because I didn’t like the Balus or because I supported con artists. Rather, it was more like an adventurer’s consideration for Balus’s pride.

Balus knew better than anyone else that his skills were less than theirs.

Even so, the reason why he couldn’t give up on this was because the impression of the short time he met Eldmia was so strong. Even if it was considered to be joining them, I had no choice but to swing my fist.

Since it was impossible to stigmatize Balus that he only acted in anticipation of getting help, some adventurers have only been considerate by buying them a drink or a meal once the case is settled.

“Ugh… Then I’m going to leave the guild as is…”

Garun, who had no choice but to watch the situation while picking up the chocolate and trying to put it in his mouth, unknowingly dropped the chocolate and blurted out his words.

Engrim glared at Garoon, who was still uncomfortable, but even dropped the expensive chocolate. Realizing that his expression was unusual, he turned his gaze to where he was looking.

And I understood Garun. At the same time, I felt like my lost hair was growing back.

“I’m! Go to Eld Mia! This baby!”

The big full swing geared it into Balus’ chin and made him stumble. Even so, Balus somehow moved his feet and tried not to fall. If he hadn’t bumped into his staggered back for five steps backwards, he might have collapsed.

Then someone who bumped into him said.

“Are you going to Eldmia?”

Surprised enough to forget even the dizziness and pain caused by the beating, Balus hurriedly turned his head backwards and, unable to properly balance, ended up knocking his butt backwards. But Balus didn’t care at all.

“Ha, yes. I’m going to Eldmia. You… what the fuck is that?”

Some of the adventurers who noticed who was standing with their backs to the light, accompanied by a shepherd dog who was panting and shaking their hips beside them, began to rush to one side of the wall in an instant.

The exact opposite of the fake Eldmia gathered near the bulletin board.

Few of those standing in front of the bulletin board noticed that the movement had begun, but even those who noticed did not notice the seriousness of the situation, only sending glances to see what it was doing. And that was the case with the man who had been punching Balus just before. He looked back and forth between the shepherd dog and the man, then snorted.

“I’m really stupid. If you’re going to imitate it, why don’t you bring a decent dog?”

Even among the adventurers in front of the bulletin board, which had once been lulled due to the commotion caused by the scammers, ridicule at the new spectacle burst out.

Still, the mutt I brought with me is better than that. In that sense, many people laughed.

That’s why the dog that the person who just joined the guild had had a naive look. Panting even at this moment was a strange smile, so if it was cute, it was cute, but it wasn’t threatening at all.

However, the man who bumped into Balus looked at the reaction expressionlessly and then shook his head and said,

“Leica. Take those dogs to one place.”

“bruise!”

The shepherd dog, who had been panting innocently, as soon as he heard his command, made a snarl as if answering, then immediately showed his teeth and growled.

“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!”

And with just that, the air changed in an instant.

The look on the faces of the adventurers became very serious when they saw that, regardless of whether it was a ferocious hound or a stupid mutt, all of them groaned with their tails and heads lowered at once. It was not a natural sight to see all the dogs flocking to a corner of the guild to get even a little further away from that shepherd dog who had been naive just a moment ago.

However, the person who created the pattern calmly walked into the guild as if it were natural, and muttered in a low voice.

“You’ve been so damned since you’ve only been away for about a month.”

The man who excitedly punched Balus looked at the man belatedly, turning his gaze away from his dog, who fled behind him.

I paid less attention to the dog because it was funny, but seeing it now, the size was no joke. The gauntlet he was wearing seemed like a high-end item, and the sword he wore around his waist was also a sword, but the two-handed ax he was carrying on his back felt like it weighed just by looking at it.

With each step closer, everything came to me with a sense of pressure, and the man involuntarily hesitated and tried to step back.

However, the man’s words and reactions were faster than that.

“Thank God I met you in the city.”

Without even giving me time to understand what he meant, the man’s fist flew like lightning. Quadduk! Amidst the thump and the strong impact, the man was sure that one side of his jaw had been properly smashed.

“If it was outside, I would have split the skull in half.”

The man’s words continued in agony were completely incomprehensible.

Looks like it’s already split.

The man who recalled such sentiments in his hazy consciousness was scattered on the floor like a doll whose strings had been cut. While everyone was silent at the sudden sight, the man said while looking at the people gathered at the bulletin board.

“I am going to Eldmia.”

that’s real

Only then did the impersonators understand why the adventurers resting in the hall were stuck to one side, and their impressions were distorted.

“I’ll tell you good things to the sons of Zadmia who are here.”

It wasn’t even a promise, but as soon as he heard the man’s words, the rumors about Eldmia that had been heard so far were automatically recalled in the heads of the impersonators without anyone saying first. Thanks to that, if even one of the rumors were true, the impersonators could easily intuit that they would be screwed.

“Tear up the impersonator going to Eldmia.”

Unfortunately, most of the rumors they heard were true.
