Chapter 46
“Master and the others thought so too. How did you guess that far?”
For some reason, it was Ragnis who was surprised, exuding a very happy nuance.
“It’s just because your back is dirty…?”
To be honest, I think it’s such a surprise, but in a way, it might be a reasonable reaction.
The act of predicting or anticipating a situation is based on experience and knowledge after all, unless you are a genius. If someone who does not even know the name of the king right now guesses and guesses the overseas situation without any information, anyone will be terrified. I was scared for a moment thinking that I might have looked like that to Ragnis just now.
“Wouldn’t it be the case with the academy that you and Cheryl attend right now? It’s just that the scale is different, but the things they do seem similar.”
“Hmm…is that so?”
“Above all, it’s already been five years since the training of warriors. Saying such words now would be close to revealing their incompetence depending on the result, but what I suggested without hesitation was the Kanggi part. I thought it was close to the form of a ceremony.”
I hurriedly added flesh to give the impression that what I came up with was not a big deal, and in my mind I organized the story once more.
I said it, but it’s really true. It’s like a nuclear weapons demonstration, right?
Take a look at the weapons we have developed for the decisive battle against the demon king. If you don’t want to hate us, who will soon kill the demon king and conquer the demon realm, you’ll have to take care of yourself. I’m just starting to think that I’m singing with this feeling.
…uh?
“Do you think I’m dumbfounded and angry?”
“Uh, huh?”
“Someone is living with everything they don’t have because of the Demon King’s Army, and they live grinding their teeth, but isn’t that the saying that the bastards who chose the hero are doing something close to playing politics? ?”
As I thought about it, my hands and feet trembled and my teeth began to grind without realizing it. In a power struggle between countries, there is nothing that cannot be understood because, in the end, each country’s interests should be prioritized. After all, isn’t it all business?
However, it is deceptive that they are doing such a thing even after packaging the demon army as a threat to the world in the way that they are the main enemies of mankind? Is it too much to feel that it’s not only the commander of the Demon King’s army that is the problem, but that someone in the empire has to be put in the killing department as well?
Why does it feel like only pure dogs come out as time goes by?
“Eh, Eldmia? Are you okay?”
It was only when I felt the warmth of Ragnis, who had come to my side and placed his hand on my fist, that I suddenly came to my senses. and. Is this really annoying? It’s to the point of being dumbfounded for a moment.
“Uh…? Ah, sorry. I’m really sorry. I lost my mind for a moment.”
Before I knew it, I was clenching my fists so much that my fingernails dug into my palms. In that short moment, I couldn’t even feel the pain because of the anger that was so intense that I couldn’t control myself.
“…Wait a minute.”
Ragnis, who was looking at me with mixed eyes, went to the desk and took out something.
“It’s a powder that helps activate mana.”
What she brought with her was something that looked like a barrel of Ryukakusan that my father used to eat from time to time in his previous life. Even the powder inside was similar, so I felt a sense of rejection at the moment, but as if it was natural, she took a little bit of it and began to spread it on the wound on my palm.
Ahh, thinking that Ryukakusan powder would enter the wound gave me goosebumps. However, even though a foreign object entered the wound, I did not feel any pain at all.
“Although not as much as divine power, it can increase self-healing power. This powder enhances the effect even more. A swordsman shouldn’t easily scratch the palm of his hand.”
Ragnis, who began to use magic while caressing the wound with his hands folded, tried to smile.
“…Fortunately, I didn’t get that big of a wound. If I used your mana to make a fist, wouldn’t there have been a hole in my palm?”
“That’s… Ha. That’s right. A finger must have protruded from the back of the hand.”
“Ugh. That’s a bit gross.”
“Huh. I’m sorry.
It was something that can only be described as impulsive. I don’t think there’s ever been anything like this in my life in this world, that there’s no evidence, and that my emotions are swayed by my own speculation.
I must have loosened up a bit without realizing it because I was giving Dangtel a beat.
“I understand. If I feel that way, whether or not it’s true, I’ll be very angry.”
As Ragnis was one of the few people who could have gone through the same situation as me, she dismissed my ugliness as nothing and moved on. Instead, as if to change the mood, he continued talking with liveliness.
“Anyway! It was judged that we were in a difficult position to refuse such a request from the Empire. So I think we should go to the Empire as soon as possible.”
“Of course the royal family promised a reward, right?”
“Whoops. Of course. It’s not a problem because enough discussions have been made.”
“Then you’re saying something else is the problem. If you’re calling me to talk about it, you’re saying you want help?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
There’s no reason why you can’t help a second time anyway. I shrugged and looked at him as if asking me to speak, but Ragnis’ hand, which was still holding my hand, began to wiggle. It seems that he is not even aware that he is holding my hand.
“Well, if it’s okay, would you like to go with me?”
“To the Empire?”
“…huh.”
“no.”
I can help, but I can’t do it when it’s a matter of time. If I’ve already achieved my revenge, I’m still fighting against time. If you want to go to the empire from the position of Margrave, you cannot even ride a flying dragon, and you have to go in a procession by carriage. It must have been a month-long journey.
I felt sorry for Ragnis, who showed a lost expression in response to my immediate reply, but I clearly drew a line.
“too far.”
However, at my one word, the lost expression turned bright, and Ragnis answered lively.
“That?! That!! I’m not going by carriage! I’m going to the gate!”
“Huh? Yes?”
More than I thought, the kingdom also provided massive support. Gate I know that not everyone uses it.
“Then of course I should help. When are you going?”
“thank you!”
I tried to tell Ragnis, who didn’t answer and hugged me for a moment, to keep my body, but I decided to just pat him on the back.
Even if there is Radnell Vandes and helpers around him, in the end Ragnis is an orphan.
Thanks to Asilie, I felt a similar family relationship and had someone to rely on, but she would still feel uneasy about everything. So I think that’s why I wanted to rely on myself, who gave me a lot of strength when I was having a hard time.
“Yes, yes. Okay, so tell me when you’re going, quickly.”
“The preparations have been ongoing, so it’s been a week at the most? I’ve already told Sir Ecaph and Cheryl the story, so if you tell Eldmia later, there’s no problem.”
“There will be no problem.”
It took Engrim’s request, but it wouldn’t have taken more than a week if you were in such a hurry. In the first place, depending on the case, it’s a part where you don’t have to spare any effort to finish the request quickly by tearing this out. it will work out somehow.
Ragnis, who once hugged me with all his might, showed a face flushed with joy and began to speak with a smile.
“Ha. I’m so glad…”
– Knock. Knock.
At that moment, a voice was heard along with a knock.
“My lady. I brought you some tea.”
Oh, and I rang the bell as soon as I sat down. I guess it was to get the car. Surprised by the voice, Ragnis cleared his throat once and spoke solemnly.
“Come in.”
“Hey…!”
Like this crazy girl! You don’t quite understand what you’re doing!
In an instant, feeling a cold sweat welling up his spine, he lifted Ragnis up and threw him down on the opposite sofa, then sat down again as if nothing had happened and pretended to be calm. It really felt like an eternity.
Until that moment, Ragnis, who had a bewildered expression and did not understand the situation, calmed my startled heart by the time the door was half-opened and sat down on the sofa, finally realizing what he had almost done.
The fact that her face didn’t turn red was enough to tell her that she had great self-control.
And our efforts were rewarded when the maid opened the door, set the tea cups and tea, and left without feeling anything strange.
“Whoa. I endured for ten years, really.”
“Hu, hu! Kka, I was surprised.”
“Relax your mind. You’re a Marquess. Then you’ll get really into trouble.”
Now, the grown-up wife, who has passed the adulthood, clings too tightly.
“Me, I’m not saying this to just anyone…I’m not…but…”
Ragnis’ face began to blush as he wiggled his fingers and lowered his head as he let out a scolding glance.
The sight was really red from head to toe.
